Chapter 4: The High Hand of the Martial Arts World
"Dad, Mom, now we also have tens of millions of dollars, so Dad doesn't need to go to work anymore, it's very tiring in the factory." Ga Tianming said with a peanut in his mouth.
"You silly boy, your father doesn't work, do you think this money will last forever? And you're not even married yet, later on you'll have to buy a house too. Marrying a wife costs a lot of money. In the future when you start working, you'll also need money to grease relationships, these are all places where big money is spent." Mother said, stroking Tianming's head.
Gao Tianming felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and he lowered his head without saying another word.
The next day, Gao Tianming handed the lottery ticket to his parents and didn't care about it anymore. The money was originally bought by him to show filial piety to his parents.
He is now thinking about another thing, how to learn a set of martial arts.
When he got up in the morning, Gao Tianming had already checked his phone's time on purpose. The time difference was one hour less than yesterday. At this rate, after 20 days, this phone will become a normal phone.
Gao Tianming no longer intends to use his phone for anything, so the phone has become a useless thing. On the other hand, the special ability in his mind needs to be utilized properly. The future will depend on this mainly.
Nowadays, there are many ways to learn martial arts on the internet, but without a master's guidance, practicing alone can lead to problems. Especially for Xingyiquan, there is a saying that "Xingyi can kill a person in one year", without a master's guidance, the person who gets killed might be yourself.
"What kind of fist technique should I use to match my heteromorphism?" Gao Tianming was visibly overwhelmed.
At a little past 6 in the morning, Gao Tianming had already woken up. Without waking his parents, he quietly left the house by himself. He thought of going to places like the park or lakeside to see if there were any masters practicing their skills in the morning. If he found one, perhaps he could become a disciple.
Walking on the street, breathing in the clear air of early morning, my mind became much clearer.
There are many people exercising in the park in the morning, mostly elderly men and women. It is only when they reach this age that they understand the importance of exercise.
Gao Tianming strolled along, searching for a target that fit his ideal of a martial arts master. After walking through a forest, the fragrance of lotus flowers wafted before him, and he found himself at the lake in the park.
Saw a figure moving in front. Gaotianming was somewhat curious and looked forward.
Originally by the lake was an old man wearing a white sports suit and white cloth shoes practicing boxing.
The old man looked over 70 years old, with slow and gentle movements, as if he was practicing the popular Tai Chi frame in society. At first, Gao Tianming didn't pay much attention to it, but after watching for a while, he noticed something different. He always slowly stretched out his hand first, then his five fingers grasped like they had a target, and immediately quickly retracted. The posture was not elegant, but the movements of advancing and retreating were all over the body, with strength applied to every part, giving Gao Tianming a kind of stirring feeling.
Tai Chi has the characteristics of "using softness to overcome stiffness, using stillness to await movement, using roundness to transform straightness, using smallness to win over greatness, and using weakness to win over strength, and launching a counterattack after the opponent makes the first move." But how can one tell whether the old man is truly skilled in martial arts or just doing some ordinary exercise? Gao Tianming thought anxiously.
"Why don't we launch a surprise attack on the old master and see if he can react? Use my own special ability to test him, even if I fail, the old master won't suffer any losses in reality." Ga Tianming decided.
Gao Tianming quietly walked up behind Old Man and activated his special ability.
(Gao Tianming sprinted forward, his right fist flying towards the old man's left shoulder. "Look at my fist!" he shouted. As he entered within a meter of the old man, Gao felt his speed suddenly decrease, as if there was a pool of water around the old man that had him surrounded. Just when his fist was half a meter away from the old man, the latter's left foot suddenly shot out and drew a semicircle, turning his body completely around. His right hand came down on Gao's wrist, deflecting the punch, while his left hand stuck to Gao's belly. With a swift kick of his right leg, Gao flew backward, propelled by his own momentum.)
The screen disappeared, and Gao Tianming blinked his eyes stupidly. "Encountered a master, the whole set of counterattack moves was smooth and effortless, and the old man didn't seem to use much force, but instead flew out following his own strength." Gao Tianming wasn't quite willing to give up yet, wanting to try again. This time he threw a punch without shouting, looking at how the old man would react.
The old man opened up Gao Tianming's fist and directly crashed his left shoulder into Gao Tianming's chest, sending him flying.
Gao Tianming subconsciously touched his chest, and in the picture, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. To be honest, the pain in the picture was much weaker than it actually was. If it were real, Gao Tianming thought that the pain would not be much less severe than a fracture.
"Counterattack so sharp, must be a martial arts master! And one's own learning of martial arts seems to have a successful prospect." Gao Tianming slowly became excited, if he could see the future, couldn't he predict his opponent's direction of attack. "Know the enemy before, and then counterattack" this combination is too perfect.
The tall and handsome young man slowly walked up to the old man after he finished his routine, saying: "Old sir, I think your boxing skills are very impressive. Can you teach me?"
The old man looked at Gao Tianming with a strange gaze and said, "This Tai Chi I'm practicing is just an exercise for keeping fit. If you want to learn it, come here tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock." The old man didn't decline Gao Tianming's request.
"Really? Thank you, sir. I'll definitely arrive early tomorrow morning!" Gao Tianming quickly bowed to thank him. The old man didn't say anything else and slowly turned around to leave.
Seeing his martial arts plan take shape and following a hidden Wulin master, Gao Tianming felt a thrill in his heart.
Open the door and see mother still preparing breakfast.
Gao Mu saw Gao Tianming return home from outside and asked strangely: "Tianming, where did you go so early?"
"Mom, I just went for a stroll in the park. I've decided to start learning Tai Chi from an old man starting tomorrow." Ga Tianming said as he stuffed a small baozi into his mouth.
"Are you willing to go out and exercise? Since the summer vacation started, you've been staying at home and not moving. Now it's good that you're going out to exercise in the morning." His mother was a bit surprised by her son's sudden change, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
After finishing breakfast, Gao Tianming thought about preparing some equipment for tomorrow's martial arts trip. He went to buy a set of sportswear and sports shoes, which should be more comfortable when practicing Tai Chi.
One person going shopping is quite monotonous and there's no one to help watch things. Gao Tianming decided to call Wang Wenfeng.
Wang Wenfeng is Gao Tianming's junior high school classmate. Later, the two became closer and closer, and now they are sworn brothers.
"Hey Wenfeng, it's Tianming. I'm planning to buy a tracksuit, want to come with me?"
"Haha, you finally decided to show up! Since the summer vacation started, you've only looked for me a few times. I thought you'd already become a couch potato at home. When I looked for you, you wouldn't even come out. Tell me, where should we meet?" Wang Wenfeng scolded on the phone.
"Let's gather under my apartment building in half an hour." Gao Tianming replied awkwardly.
"Alright, see you in half an hour then, let's do it this way."
"Okay."
