America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

The two were fighting very close to each other, and Miyagi seized the opportunity once again. His arm slithered down toward Riku's shoulder like a snake, and he lowered his body to grab Riku's shoulder and throw him away.

Li Qun reacted instinctively, pulling his arm out of Miyagi Goro's embrace as if taking off a sleeve, then shoving Miyagi Goro away and kicking him.

Miyagi Goro raised his leg and kicked repeatedly, and Riqun quickly covered his head with both hands, then caught two more kicks from the left and right.

As Li Qun lowered his arms, Miyagi Goro leaped into the air and launched a flying kick at Li Qun.

Li Qun turned to the side, and Goro Miyagi flew past him, brushing against his clothes, and glided a long distance on the lawn.

He stood up and charged at Liqun again with the ferocity of a pig.

I don't know when it started, but Goro Miyagi became obsessed with Riku.

Now, Goro Miyagi seems to be overclocked, like an animal, launching another challenge against Riku with faster speed and stronger power.

Miyagi Goro's feet left the ground more often, and his leg techniques rained down on Li Qun like a storm.

Liqun is also getting to know his body better through his "sparring" with Miyagi.

In their nimble movements, they displayed astonishing flexibility and agility.

Backbends, somersaults, and aerial spins are as easy as breathing.

Li Qun gives the impression that if his "ki" were the same as the "ki" in Dragon Ball, he would have already flown to the sky.

Goro Miyagi stopped.

He was hunched over, his hands on his knees, his chest heaving violently, sweat pouring down his body, as he struggled to lift his head to look at Li Qun, whose breathing remained steady.

"..."

Miyagi Goro was speechless, and his legs suddenly gave way, causing him to kneel on the lawn.

Kneeling was Miyagi's usual sitting posture at home, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Seeing Goro Miyagi's kneeling posture, Riku could read "That's enough for today" in Miyagi's eyes.

"Phew." Li Qun breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Li Qun realized that the edge of the park lawn was full of people, men, women, and children, all looking at Li Qun and Miyagi Goro in the middle of the lawn.

At the very front row, a group of clear-eyed white young men knelt on the ground watching him and Goro Miyagi spar.

"Master, may the Force protect you!!" The kneeling figures raised their hands and shouted in unison.

Chapter 40 Someone Did It Better

Peter was immersed in unforgettable excitement, his face flushed as he clapped his hands vigorously.

Applause rose and fell around the park lawn, accompanied by a few whistles and screams.

Li Qun walked up to Miyagi Goro and extended his hand to him.

Gongcheng looked up at Liqun.

The sun was positioned directly behind Riqun's head, and against the sunlight, Miyagi couldn't see Riqun's face clearly.

Gongcheng grasped Liqun's hand, and Liqun forcefully pulled him up from the lawn.

The applause around the lawn reached another fever pitch.

Stereotype +77...

"Are you alright?" Li Qun asked Miyagi Goro.

"It's not good at all..."

Miyagi answered, but then smiled at Riku.

“I will challenge you again,” said Goro Miyagi.

“You know where you can find me,” Li Qun said to Gong Cheng in a friendly manner.

"I know."

Goro Miyagi gripped Riqun's hand tightly; ever since Riqun pulled him up from the lawn, he hadn't let go.

"This is the meaning of my coming to New York." Goro Miyagi's face was beaming with joy.

They walked toward the edge of the park lawn, where the old man was chatting and laughing with Daniel, Goro Miyagi's master, while the two masters were gesturing to each other.

Miyagi walked toward his master, but Liqun went to Peter first.

"Peter, my glasses."

"Liqun, your kung fu is truly amazing!"

Peter's hands trembled as he placed Li Qun's black-rimmed glasses into Li Qun's hands.

During his intense kung fu sparring session with Goro Miyagi just now, Liqun wasn't wearing his glasses.

“I didn’t expect this myself,” Li Qun said to Peter with a smile.

With the black-rimmed glasses on, the view is transformed into 4K ultra-high-definition quality once again.

"Dad, how did I do?" Li Qun turned to look at his father.

"It's so-so," the old man said with a smile.

"I thought the rating would be higher."

"You must guard against arrogance and impatience; there will always be someone in the world who can do better than you," Dad said.

[Beep! Stereotype acquired: The better performer]

“I know, Dad.”

Li Qun nodded, but the voice that suddenly popped into his mind distracted him.

The uncle rubbed his eyes and immediately gave Liqun a bear hug.

"Our family has produced a martial arts prodigy, one in a century!"

Uncle buried his head on Liqun's shoulder, and Liqun didn't quite hear what his uncle was saying.

"Uncle, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"I told you I'd make your favorite braised pork today," the uncle said, looking up.

"Yay! We get to eat braised pork!"

American pork tends to have a strong, gamey smell, and it takes a lot of effort to remove it completely. My uncle's Chinese restaurant rarely uses pork; they mostly use beef instead.

"Hi, Liqun, I'm Daniel, Goro's master."

After leaving his uncle's bear hug, Liqun shook hands with Daniel again.

“I apologize on behalf of Miyagi. He went a bit too far as to engage in friendly sparring just now,” Daniel said, shaking Li Qun’s hand.

"I feel fine, I wasn't injured."

Daniel smiled. For anyone else, the ambulance would have already arrived, and the $5,000 bill would be on its way.

"Come visit our shop sometime." Daniel gave Li Qun a coupon for Miyagi Pizza, which included the restaurant's address and delivery number.

"I will."

"If you want to eat pizza, please look for our Miyagi Pizza."

"Mr. Daniel, why did you choose to open a pizza shop in New York?" Li Qun asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Because I love pizza, my first job was part-time at a pizza shop,” Daniel replied with a smile.

“Our karate dojo in San Francisco couldn’t stay afloat, so after his grandfather passed away, I moved here with him, hoping he could have a change of environment and start a new life.”

Are you his guardian?

“His grandfather was my master. Goro’s karate was all taught to him by his grandfather.”

"Goro's parents divorced when he was very young. His mother worked at a hospital in New York. We hadn't seen each other for many years, and she was like a stranger to him."

"...OK."

Another broken family.

"You and Goro are also welcome to dine at my uncle's Chinese restaurant. His cooking is very authentic."

Daniel's uncle handed him a business card with a phone number and address on it. Daniel smiled and put the card into the inside pocket of his coat.

"If it weren't for my old injury, I would also like to spar with you."

“My uncle also knows kung fu. You two can discuss it with each other in private.”

As Li Qun spoke, his uncle and Uncle Daniel exchanged glances, and a silent understanding arose between the two middle-aged men. They shook hands.

Sheriff George and his partner Jefferson walked over, and the crowd gathered in the park gradually dispersed. Those who wanted to sunbathe went back to the park benches to sunbathe, while those who wanted to jog went back to jogging.

“Dad, you scared everyone away as soon as you came over,” Gwen joked.

“If we weren’t here, I think those two elderly people over there would have called the police long ago,” George said with a chuckle.

"Kung Fu Kid, ever thought about becoming a policeman?" Jefferson raised his fist, and Li Qun knew exactly how to exchange punches with the black police officer Jefferson.

Thank you.

“I’ll introduce you to my son, Miles, when I have the chance,” Officer Jefferson said.

“There’s a chance,” Li Qun said with a smile.

“What a fine young man.” Jefferson put his arm around George’s shoulder and led him to other parts of the park.

"Hi, Gwen, how's the weather today?" Li Qun asked Gwen.

"Liqun, you're terrifying." Gwen raised her hand and gently punched Liqun in the chest.

“Look at Peter, you’ve scared him so much.”

"Peter, are you alright?" Li Qun turned to Peter beside him and asked.

“I’m fine!” Peter Parker grinned foolishly.

Gwen grabbed Li Qun's arms with both hands, rolled up his sleeves, and examined him closely.

"Are you the same species as us?" Gwen teased.

Why do you think that?
