Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

There was a place in the foreign concession that was full of martial arts schools.

Disciples dressed in training uniforms frequently moved among them, creating a strong atmosphere of martial arts practice.

Based on the address on the invitation, Chen Yi found a relatively remote martial arts school.

I looked up and glanced at the martial arts school's signboard.

Huishan Boxing Gym.

This is definitely the right place.

Compared to other martial arts schools, this place is much quieter and less crowded.

Chen Yi pushed open the door and went in.

There was only one disciple inside, the very young man who delivered the letter yesterday.

He is practicing his skills by striking a wooden stake.

Upon seeing Chen Yi enter, the young man quickly approached and said, "Mr. Chen, my master is already waiting in the training room."

After saying that, he led the way.

Chen Yi followed him into the training room.

Stone weights, wooden stakes, sandbags, and various training tools are placed inside.

Three young men were practicing their skills inside.

Beside them stood a martial arts master who looked to be in his fifties, holding a stick in his hand.

If the disciple's movements were incorrect, a blow would be delivered with a stick, causing him to grimace in pain.

"With so few disciples, it's too deserted compared to other martial arts schools. It seems that Hui Shan Martial Arts School isn't doing too well."

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Yi thought to himself.

However, all he needs to do is cooperate with Huishan Boxing Gym and obtain the status of a martial arts instructor; whether the gym develops well or not is none of his business.

"Master, Mr. Chen has arrived," the young man called out.

The martial arts master turned his head, looked Chen Yi up and down, and said, "My name is Tian Xiong."

"Chen Yi," Chen Yi replied.

Tian Xiong nodded.

Suddenly, he stomped his foot on the ground and charged straight at Chen Yi, punching him in the chest.

His fist made a whooshing sound, which shows how powerful it was.

Fortunately, the two were still far apart, giving Chen Yi time to react. He also threw a punch at Tian Xiong.

Returning Mountain Force and Fist Power +1, unleashed without reservation.

A collision was imminent, and Chen Yi staggered back seven or eight steps.

He only regained his balance when his back was against the wall.

The hand that punched him felt a burning pain.

Looking down, I saw that the skin on my hands was completely scraped.

Looking ahead, Tian Xiong stood in his original spot, hands behind his back, with a calm expression.

Extremely pretentious.

"This guy's putting on an act with me," Chen Yi cursed inwardly.

It's really unpleasant to be seen showing off.

Especially someone like him who likes to show off in front of others.

"What does Master Tian mean by this? He summoned me here, and then attacked me."

Chen Yi shook his hand.

He had already made up his mind that he would come back to show off after he had mastered the Five Animal Frolics and the two boxing styles.

Tian Xiong said, "It really is all style and no substance. But it is rare to be able to fight to this extent. It is rare to be able to withstand one-tenth of the strength of a Bone Forging Martial Master."

For a martial arts school to stay open, it needs at least one bone-forging martial arts master to keep things running.

Chen Yi had a suspicion from the beginning.

But to my surprise, this old man actually said something about one-tenth of his strength.

Bone Forging Martial Master is only one level higher than Skin Polishing Martial Master, and it's not like he hasn't tried the strength of Skin Polishing Martial Master before.

To say that one-tenth of the effort is equivalent to ten times the effort of skin resurfacing is no different from farting.

"Master Tian, ​​you flatter me. I only used half my strength," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Tian Xiong raised an eyebrow. This kid can actually brag a little.

However, after the sparring session just now, he had determined that Chen Yi did not practice any martial arts techniques and therefore was not a disciple of any other martial arts school.

Moreover, despite only having the fighting techniques, he actually developed the power of the Returning Mountain Fist.

When he returns to the mountain martial arts school, he is the perfect successor.

He was delighted no matter how he looked at it, and his little boasting was nothing at all.

Those who practice martial arts should boast, as it represents lofty aspirations.

"Chen Yi, would you be willing to become my disciple at Huishan Martial Arts School? I can teach you the training methods of Huishan Martial Arts School, and this martial arts school will also be yours," Tian Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Inherit the boxing gym?"

Chen Yi knew that the other party might treat him well because of the Returning Mountain Fist, but he never expected that the other party would directly inherit the entire boxing gym to him.

However, looking at the condition of the students at the boxing gym, it's not hard to understand why Tian Xiong would do this.

Even the strongest martial artist will have their strength decline rapidly with age and become unable to defeat younger opponents.

Therefore, what martial arts practitioners fear most is not having a disciple to inherit their mantle, and ultimately being killed by their former enemies, meeting a tragic end.

Huishan Boxing Gym faced this situation.

Tian Xiong is already in his fifties or sixties, and his strength is declining.

So, you want to inherit the boxing gym?

A boxing gym acquired for free suddenly gained a foothold.

Having a cheap master will also increase my understanding of the Tianhai martial arts world.

For a moment, Chen Yi was somewhat tempted.

"And the price?" he asked.

Tian Xiong said, "You should not get involved in the matters at the dock. If the conflict escalates, it may turn into a confrontation between the martial arts community and the foreigners, which is extremely dangerous."

Just focus on practicing martial arts at the gym. I'll give you one hundred silver dollars a month, that should be enough for your expenses."

"Furthermore, once you marry my daughter and establish your relationship, I will give you the training method and the boxing gym."

He hadn't finished speaking.

An angry voice came from outside the training room: "Father, how many times have I told you, I won't marry him."

A woman with her hair tied in a ponytail, dressed in a disciple's training uniform, ran in from outside.

"Xiao Yan, stop fooling around," Tian Xiong said, frowning.

Tian Yan turned her head and glared at Chen Yi: "You're the one who wanted to marry me, and you even persuaded my father to let me marry you. Let me tell you, it's impossible."

Chen Yi wasn't annoyed at all; he was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

With a slight smile, he said, "Please continue."

That's enough.

Seeing his daughter making a scene, Tian Xiong felt as if he had been slapped repeatedly in the face, utterly humiliated.

"I've already said it, the only one I like is Jiang Ran, and I've already given him to him," Tian Yan shouted.

"you."

Tian Xiong felt his blood rush to his head; he had just been in front of Chen Yi, saying he would marry his daughter.

Now, however, her daughter is actively saying that she will only marry someone else, and has even given herself to him.

"Master, please grant my wish and Xiaoyan's happiness. I will make her happy."

At this moment, one of the disciples, a young man, stepped forward and spoke.

"You want to give happiness? What are you going to give it to? I only let you go to the martial arts school because you had no food to eat. I must have been blind."

Tian Xiong pointed at him and said, "Get out of the martial arts school. From now on, you are no longer a disciple of the martial arts school, and you are not allowed to see Xiao Yan again."

Jiang Ran lowered her head, her fists clenched so tightly that she didn't feel any pain even as her nails dug into her palms.

He suddenly looked up at Chen Yi: "I, Jiang Ran, swear that I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold in the future. I will let Xiao Yan stay with you for now, but if you dare to touch her, I will make you know what it means to wish you were dead."

After saying that, he strode out of the martial arts school.

"Is this kid threatening me?"

Chen Yi squinted and moved towards Jiang Ran's direction.

However, Tian Xiong subtly shifted his position, standing between Chen Yi and Jiang Ran.

"Master Tian, ​​what do you mean by this? I've suffered an undeserved disaster today, and I'm about to be repaid a hundredfold for no reason. I definitely have to make the first move," Chen Yi said, shaking his head.
