Three days later in the morning, Ip Man was preparing to leave for De Nan Tea House.
When he knew that Ye Wen planned to go alone, Hao Shuai really felt that he, as a master, was really not suitable to open a martial arts gym and be the boss! Such a good opportunity to promote Wing Chun (a chance to pretend to be a slap in the face), you don't bring the disciples
Go and see something? Didn’t you see the eager eyes of your disciples? Ip Man’s emotional intelligence really broke Hao Shuai’s heart!
If you go alone like this, even if you win, who will promote it for you? You can't count on the big mouths of your junior brothers.
Alas!
Tired!
"Master, take us with you! It just allows the junior brothers to see other boxing techniques and open their horizons." Hao Shuai said.
"Okay, you guys can go too." Fortunately, Ye Wen wasn't really stupid, and he came to his senses under Hao Shuai's prompting and agreed to go to De Nan Tea House together.
At this time, the entire teahouse hall was occupied by Hong Zhennan. There was a huge round table in the middle of the hall, surrounded by inverted wooden stools.
At this time, all the famous martial arts schools in Xiangjiang arrived, and the whole hall was filled with the sound of their bragging and spanking.
Just when the boxers were muttering, bragging and spanking, Ip Man led his disciples in.
The leader, Ye Wen, was wearing a black robe and looked like a master, followed by more than twenty disciples, all wearing uniform training uniforms.
Ye Wen hugged everyone's fists to say hello to the boxers. Hao Shuai led his juniors to stand aside.
"Master Hong." Ye Wen immediately cupped his fists and raised his hands.
Hong Zhennan directly explained the rules of the competition to Ye Wen: "Master Ye, let me tell you the rules of the competition first. You have to stand on the table to accept the challenges of the masters. If you surrender, you will lose. If you fall outside the table, you will lose. One
After the incense is burned, if you are still standing on the table, you have passed. If there is no problem, let’s start!”
Ye Wen didn't answer, just took off his robe, threw it to his apprentice, and slowly jumped onto the table.
Seeing Ip Man's arrogant way of appearing, both Master Zheng and Master Luo looked disdainful.
At this time, Ip Man stood on the round table, cupped his hands and said: "Hello, masters, I am Ip Man, from the Foshan Wing Chun School, and studied under Chen Huashun, I would like to ask all the masters for your advice!"
After Ip Man finished speaking, the boxers looked at each other again, but for a while no one took the lead.
Seeing that no one was playing, Hong Zhennan said: "Is there any master who wants to come up and play with both hands?"
The first one to come forward was Master Luo, who said "the table is very slippery" like in the movie, followed by Master Zheng, both of whom were solved by Ip Man in a few clicks.
Hao Shuai also discovered that Master Luo and Master Zheng were arranged by the director to make people laugh, just like the two Huashan elders in the Demon Cult Leader. This can be seen from the conversation between the two later in the competition between Ip Man and Tornado.
.
The boxers below saw that Ip Man was so relaxed and had won two games in a row, their expressions became unnatural, and they were not as relaxed as before.
Seeing this, Hong Zhennan asked: "Who else is interested in coming?"
Ye Wen glanced around, all the boxers, you look at me, I look at you, and then everyone drank tea and shook their heads.
Master Zheng motioned with his eyes to the boxers behind him to come forward, but they were all rejected with their hands.
When Hong Zhennan saw this situation, he stood up and planned to appear in person.
Seeing this, Hao Shuai also cheered up and prepared to observe the exciting showdown between the two masters.
Although Hong Zhennan is very fat, he has jumped on the table in a way that does not match his weight.
The moment Hong Zhennan landed on the round table, the huge force pushed the round table up. Hong Zhennan didn't stop, took three steps in a row, stepped forward, punched twice, and violently attacked Ip Man's face.
Ip Man used "spread his hands" to block.
The two of them fought fast and fast. After three moves, they were half-weighted, and then they separated, each cupping their fists and saying: "Please!"
The boxer below saw that Ip Man was not at a disadvantage, and he was very lucky. Fortunately, he did not play, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
With a loud shout, the two men fought again. Hong Fist opened and closed, and Hong Zhennan also shouted violently; Wing Chun fought short and close, and Ip Man used various small pushing and blocking methods to resist Hong Zhennan's attack.
Attack.
Hao Shuai also saw that Hong Zhennan and Ye Wen should both be in the realm of half-step strength. Hong Zhennan is tall and strong, so Hong Fist has the advantage in strength, but after all, Hong Zhennan is older and has asthma.
, resulting in his poor physical fitness. Although Ip Man does not have an advantage in strength, he has high flexibility and is relatively young, giving him a great physical advantage.
Sure enough, Hong Zhennan was still able to suppress Ip Man at first, but as time went by, Hong Zhennan's physical strength declined. Ip Man, relying on his youth, gradually regained his disadvantage, and evenly matched Hong Zhennan.
It's a pity that such a wonderful duel ended when the table broke and the incense time expired. The two ended in a draw.
Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Ip Man undoubtedly joined the Hong Kong martial arts community and could officially open a gym to teach apprentices.
Hong Zhennan also asked Ip Man to pay membership fees every month, but Hao Shuai agreed before Ip Wen could do it, and did not let Ip Wen, a man with negative emotional intelligence, slap everyone in the face in public.
On the way back, Ye Wen was still a little angry that Hao Shuai easily agreed to pay the membership fee, but Hao Shuai told Ye Wen about Hong Zhennan's character and actions, so he didn't say anything.
……
"Wing Chun fights Hong Quan, the two factions fight hard, and the outcome is unresolved."
The next day, the report of Wing Chun Ip Man's draw with Hong Quan Hong Zhennan made the headlines in Hong Kong newspapers.
Looking at the newspaper, Hao Shuai had a faint smile on his lips. Hao Shuai, who knew how to create hype, used his money-making ability to generously cover the headlines of all newspapers in Hong Kong.
So Wing Chun became popular, and so did Ip Man.
On this day, Ip Man's martial arts gym officially opened.
As the news continues to ferment, more and more people come to the martial arts gym to learn boxing. In less than three days, the number of people who come to become apprentices has exceeded 100, which means that the newly rented martial arts gym is big enough.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people learning martial arts at the same time.
Now Ip Man is cheerful every day, as if his life is already complete.
Since Hao Shuai watched the duel between Ye Wen and Hong Zhennan that day, he deeply felt his own shortcomings and directly handed over the chores of the martial arts hall to Huang Liang. He practiced martial arts hard every day, ignoring what was going on outside the window.
Boxing.
On this day, Hong Zhennan came to visit Ip Man as usual. Before leaving, he gave Ip Man two tickets to the boxing match in the evening, hoping that Ip Man would take the time to watch it.
Ever since Hao Shuai told Ip Wen about Hong Zhennan’s life that day, Ip Wen had gotten to know Hong Zhennan, and the two martial arts schools were not too far apart. Ip Wen often came to visit, and after going back and forth, the two of them became good friends.
Friends.
After dinner in the evening, Ye Wen saw that Hao Shuai was a little obsessed with boxing recently, so he asked Hao Shuai to watch the boxing match together.
Hao Shuai didn't want to go out at first, but after learning that Hong Zhennan gave the ticket, he knew that it was the time when Hong Zhennan was killed by a tornado. Hao Shuai immediately decided to go to the game and saved Hong Zhennan at the last moment.
The boxing match in the evening was just like in the movie. A tornado rushed into the ring and injured everyone in the martial arts hall and insulted Chinese martial arts. Hao Shuai looked at the arrogant and arrogant tornado and almost couldn't help but kill him with telekinesis.
But he endured it in the end. The tornado was a stepping stone for Ye Wen to become a master of Huajin, and Hao Shuai didn't want to destroy it.
As the leader of the martial arts community in Xiangjiang, facing the provocation of Tornado, Hong Zhennan went on the stage to invite Tornado to fight for the honor of the martial arts community.
At the beginning of the game, in the first round, Hong Zhennan, who had sufficient physical strength, relied on his rich experience and Hong Fist's open and close style to suppress Tornado. Unfortunately, Tornado relied on his super physical fitness to withstand all Hong Zhennan's blows.
, and failed to cause effective damage to the tornado.
During the break at the end of the first round, Hao Shuai took the opportunity to ask Ip Man: "Master, who do you think will win?"
"It's hard to say. If Master Hong can fight quickly, there is still a chance. Otherwise, Master Hong is already so old and he probably won't be able to last a few rounds with his physical strength." Ye Wen said cautiously.
Ip Man still has a very sharp eye, and he can see Hong Zhennan's problem at a glance. Moreover, Ip Man doesn't know that Hong Zhennan has asthma.
Sure enough, as Ip Man analyzed, after the second round started, Hong Zhennan was still neck-and-neck with the tornado. But in the second half of the round, Hong Zhennan couldn't keep up with the speed of the tornado and was hit several times in a row. By the time the third round began, Hong Zhennan was already panting. He couldn't keep up with the speed of Tornado's punches. He kept suppressing him and beating him. Finally, he was hit hard in the face by Tornado and fell to the ground. He lay on the ground unable to get up.
Come on, the referee next to you also started counting the seconds.
When the countdown reached six, Hong Zhennan moved his hand. Hao Shuai, who felt that Hong Zhennan was about to get up and continue fighting, took the opportunity to use his telekinesis to directly press him to the floor, making it impossible for Hong Zhennan to get up. As a result, he was sentenced to lose after a ten-second timeout. I don’t know if Hao Shuai didn’t grasp the strength of his telekinesis, or if Hong Zhennan just had an asthma attack and fainted on the stage. His disciples felt the need to lift him off and take him to the hospital.
Although Hong Zhennan lost the game, he at least survived. If Hong Zhennan died, how would his wife and the whole family live in the future?
And there will be someone who can protect Hong Zhennan’s honor in the martial arts world.
Hao Shuai looked at the extremely arrogant tornado on the stage, then looked at Ye Wen next to him, and showed a meaningful smile.
