#119 - Encirclement and killing!
Chapter 121: Ambush!
"I concede!"
Yan Zhendong half-knelt before Zhao Zheng, uttering these three words with difficulty.
Any later, and he would be beaten to death!
His battle with the bald youth was the most frustrating battle he had ever fought in his life.
In the past, when he fought others, he relied on the advantage of his Iron Shirt, using savage and tyrannical force to overwhelm his opponents.
Even Master Huang of Baozhizhitang, with his amazing martial arts, couldn't find his weakness and break his Iron Shirt.
But this time, it was his turn to be suppressed and beaten throughout the entire fight.
The opponent's Iron Shirt had reached a superb level, with perfect defense all over his body, without any weaknesses.
Yan Zhendong's Eagle Claw Technique not only couldn't break his defense, but also numbed his own hands.
Most terrifyingly, the opponent was not only number one in Iron Shirt, but also had Iron Sand Palm that he had practiced to a superb level.
When a palm struck out, it truly split mountains and cracked rocks, with boundless power.
Yan Zhendong also had Iron Shirt.
However, his Iron Shirt was only at the Great Accomplishment level, and he couldn't withstand the full-level Iron Sand Palm attack at all.
Zhao Zheng only struck Yan Zhendong four times, and Yan Zhendong was already vomiting blood and couldn't hold on any longer.
As for how Zhao Zheng managed to hit Yan Zhendong?
Very simple!
He directly withstood Yan Zhendong's attack, and then took the opportunity to grab one of Yan Zhendong's arms…
Caught him to beat him up!!
Unless Yan Zhendong broke his own arm, no matter how well he dodged, how many times could he dodge?
【Congratulations! You have defeated a Ming Jin martial artist, gaining martial arts competition points: 733. Gained temporary spiritual energy points: 367.】
In the next moment after Yan Zhendong conceded.
He had no grudges with Yan Zhendong, and challenging him was only for the sake of martial arts competition points.
Now that the goal was achieved, there was naturally no need to kill him.
"Master Yan, I've offended you."
Zhao Zheng cupped his fist and said, then immediately turned and left, without any hesitation.
Leaving Yan Zhendong completely dumbfounded.
He originally thought that this young man was here to seek revenge under the guise of challenging him.
Yan Zhendong knew himself well, and he also knew his own temper. He had offended many people over the years, and too many people wanted his life.
He really didn't expect that after he conceded, Zhao Zheng would actually let go directly and leave immediately.
Good heavens!
Was he really here to challenge martial arts?
Had he known this earlier, he would have conceded earlier!
He wouldn't have been beaten into a serious internal injury like this!
Medicine and martial arts are interconnected.
Yan Zhendong estimated that his injury would take at least a year and a half to recover.
Especially the fire poison brought by Zhao Zheng's Iron Sand Palm, which had already invaded his internal organs, would probably accompany him for the rest of his life…
Thinking of this, Yan Zhendong became more and more angry, and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
The several disciples beside him were startled and hurried forward.
"Master, how are you? Do you want us to call a doctor?"
…
When Zhao Zheng came out of Yan Family Martial Arts Hall.
The sun had already set.
The sky was gradually darkening.
He stood on the street, hesitating whether to continue challenging other martial artists.
Because the teacher had said that special martial artists are only effective for the first challenge!
Once someone else gets the first opportunity, the rewards gained by later challengers will be the same as ordinary martial artists.
Zhao Zheng was anxious to challenge, just in case someone else got there first.
However.
He thought about it carefully. Now those transcendents probably haven't even gotten their hands on martial arts manuals.
Even if someone else was lucky enough to get a martial arts manual, it was impossible for them to upgrade two martial arts to full level like him.
Normal transcendents would first find weaker martial artists to challenge, gradually become stronger, and then challenge masters.
Only Zhao Zheng was already at the peak of Ming Jin and had maxed out two martial arts, directly taking on masters.
Because Zhao Zheng had more attributes.
The converted spiritual energy points were naturally very amazing.
Thinking of this.
Zhao Zheng turned and walked towards Fumanlou.
He planned to rest tonight first, and then challenge all the masters in the city tomorrow.
In just one day, he didn't believe that those peers could directly challenge Master Huang!
In addition.
It was too impolite to visit someone to challenge them so late.
When he returned to the hotel room.
Zhao Zheng immediately opened his attribute panel:
Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).
Age: 19 years old.
Martial Arts: Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt (Superb), Iron Sand Palm (Superb), Chasing Cloud Step (Proficient).
Current Realm: Peak of Ming Jin.
Current Martial Arts Competition Points: 869.
Available Spiritual Energy Points: 702.
Today's harvest was not bad.
Martial arts competition points were about to break a thousand!
Right now, there were enough spiritual energy points. Without hesitation, Zhao Zheng spent 700 spiritual energy points to upgrade Chasing Cloud Step to the "Superb" level (with a Great Accomplishment level in between)…
Very good!
Another martial art was maxed out by him!!
…
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
Zhao Zheng got up early and prepared to challenge martial artists.
The time he agreed with Song Haitang was tonight.
Zhao Zheng only had one day left.
"Sir, would you like to take a rickshaw? My car runs fast and stable!"
Just outside the hotel door.
A group of rickshaws waiting for work rushed forward to inquire.
Zhao Zheng thought for a while and got into the most enthusiastic rickshaw.
"Take me to Chen's Wing Chun Hall!"
Chen's Wing Chun Hall was also one of the well-known martial arts halls in the city.
However, the master of the hall, Master Chen, was not as famous as Master Huang, and was even inferior to Yan Zhendong.
In addition, Master Chen was not a special martial artist either.
The reason why Zhao Zheng wanted to go there was because he knew that this Master Chen had a disciple who was destined by fate.
That disciple's surname was Ye, and he would fight ten in the future!
A moment later.
The rickshaw stopped in front of a martial arts hall.
On the door lintel of the martial arts hall, there was a huge plaque with the words "Wing Chun" written on it.
Zhao Zheng happily paid the fare and walked towards the martial arts hall.
There were two martial arts hall disciples guarding the door. Seeing Zhao Zheng coming, they immediately smiled:
"Greetings, brother, what brings you here?"
Seeing this posture, it was much more formal than Yan Zhendong's.
Zhao Zheng was satisfied in his heart, but said on his lips: "Challenging the hall!"
Hearing that someone was here to challenge the hall, the two Wing Chun disciples were both surprised.
However, these two people had very good psychological qualities and did not show great anger or panic.
The disciple on the left asked: "My master is a well-known master in the city, do you really want to challenge the hall?"
"I'm not interested if he's not a master," Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
Hearing this.
The two disciples knew that the young man in front of them was not joking.
The two immediately became serious.
"Then, please sit in the hall for a moment. My master went out for morning tea and will be back in a while."
Zhao Zheng nodded.
He came early. At this time, it was indeed time for breakfast.
The boxing gym was very large.
There were many wooden dummies placed inside.
A group of disciples were practicing Wing Chun on the wooden dummies.
When Zhao Zheng entered the martial arts hall, he was immediately surrounded by dozens of disciples.
They had all heard that this bald young man had come to challenge the martial arts school.
"This bald guy is so young, and he dares to challenge the school? Is he courting death?"
"Our master is kind and generous, he definitely won't be ruthless. At most, he'll just teach him a lesson."
"Looks like he's been reading too many storybooks. He's learned a few basic moves and thinks he can challenge a school. He really overestimates himself."
"I thought a famous expert was coming! I didn't expect it to be such a reckless fool. How boring."
"I think this kid is a little unusual!"
A group of disciples watched Zhao Zheng from a distance, discussing him.
Zhao Zheng didn't mind being watched.
He scanned the disciples and quickly spotted a familiar-looking guy.
Looking closely, the other person's facial features were very similar to the Ip Man of the future, who could fight ten.
However, the current Master Ip was very young, looking like a teenager.
"Are you Ip Man?"
Zhao Zheng asked immediately.
Hearing this, Ip Man was stunned, and then said, "Do you know me? Also, my name isn't Ip Man, it's Ip Kai-man."
Ip Man's original name was Ip Kai-man. The name Ip Man was changed later.
Zhao Zheng didn't know this, and at first, he thought he had recognized the wrong person.
He took another careful look to confirm that the other person was indeed the future Master Ip.
"I heard that your Wing Chun is pretty good. Are you interested in sparring with me?"
Sparring.
This is martial arts jargon, meaning to exchange pointers.
Ip Kai-man was even more surprised when he heard this.
Before he could speak, the brothers next to him began to clamor.
"Hey! This kid knows he can't beat the master, so he's scared and wants to regain his confidence by beating up Junior Brother Ip?"
"Haha! He really chose the wrong person. Junior Brother Ip has inherited the master's true teachings, and his strength has already reached the Bone Forging realm."
"Junior Brother Ip, go and teach him a lesson for the master, so the master doesn't have to do it himself."
Under the encouragement of his brothers, Ip Kai-man's head got heated, and he immediately agreed.
"Okay! Let's go over here," he called out to Zhao Zheng.
The current Master Ip was too young, completely lacking the demeanor of the grandmaster he would later become.
Zhao Zheng smiled and followed Master Ip to the open space next to him.
"Are you ready?" Master Ip asked politely.
Zhao Zheng smiled, didn't say anything, and waved to Master Ip.
Seeing this, the young Master Ip got a little angry and immediately punched Zhao Zheng.
Sun Punch!
This move is the most common technique in Wing Chun, and also the one with the most variations.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng also threw a punch.
To deal with the current Master Ip, he didn't need to use Iron Sand Palm at all...
The next moment!
"Bang!"
Master Ip flew out.
Zhao Zheng's power was too great.
No matter how many variations Master Ip had, he could break them with one punch.
However, the young Master Ip also showed amazing talent.
After being punched away by Zhao Zheng, Master Ip didn't fall to the ground, but rolled on the spot to remove most of the force of Zhao Zheng's punch.
Although the remaining impact still made Master Ip very uncomfortable, his internal blood was churning...
Master Ip stood up and wanted to fight again, but a voice suddenly came from the door:
"Enough, Kai-man, you are not his opponent!"
Master Chen had finally returned.
Seeing the master appear, the disciples respectfully shouted, "Master."
Ip Kai-man also quickly followed and shouted, and then said, "Master, I was careless just now, I didn't dodge..."
Master Chen interrupted his disciple and said, "Alright, step back!"
Master had spoken, and although Ip Kai-man was unwilling, he could only give way.
"Hey! Wait!" Zhao Zheng quickly said, "My competition with little brother Ip hasn't ended yet! Either little brother Ip admits defeat, or he gets beaten by me."
His main purpose here was to fleece Master Ip.
Now that he hadn't fleeced him yet, how could he stop?
Hearing this, Master Chen immediately frowned, his face serious, and his voice became cold: "Young man, what do you mean?"
Seeing Master Chen's expression, Zhao Zheng realized that Master Chen had misunderstood.
Perhaps Master Chen thought that Zhao Zheng wanted to cripple his disciple.
"Master Chen, don't misunderstand, I like to finish what I start..."
Zhao Zheng reluctantly explained, and finally simply said, "How about this! I'll stand still, and if little brother Ip can make me take a step back within three moves, I'll admit defeat!"
"If he can't, then little brother Ip will take the initiative to admit defeat, how about that?"
Hearing this.
Ip Kai-man was furious and immediately shouted, "Master, please let me fight him!"
He thought that Zhao Zheng was looking down on him.
Master Chen also didn't like Zhao Zheng's arrogance and immediately nodded in agreement.
And so.
Ip Kai-man attacked Zhao Zheng again.
However, this time, Zhao Zheng really stood still, purely using his body to withstand Ip Kai-man's attack.
A moment later...
"I admit defeat!"
The young Master Ip admitted defeat very readily.
His three punches hit Zhao Zheng's body as if they were hitting a steel plate.
Not only did he not injure his opponent, but he also injured his own fist.
Only now did Master Ip realize that this bald man's horizontal training was so amazing!
No wonder he dared to challenge the school.
Next.
It's up to the master...
...
When Zhao Zheng walked out of the Wing Chun martial arts school.
He had a satisfied smile on his face.
This trip, he had gained a total of 508 martial arts points.
Master Chen contributed 178 points, and although Master Ip was young, he contributed a full 330 martial arts points.
A person with a destiny is just different.
"Sir, would you like a ride?"
A rickshaw puller came to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng didn't refuse and got into the rickshaw.
"Sir, where do you want to go?"
"Take me to Po Chi Lam!"
Next.
He was going to challenge Master Wong.
"Okay, sir, hold on tight!"
The rickshaw started immediately, and the man pulled Zhao Zheng, walking briskly towards the direction of Po Chi Lam.
"Huh?"
Suddenly.
Zhao Zheng, sitting in the rickshaw, was slightly stunned.
Because the rickshaw, which was running well on the street, suddenly turned into the courtyard of a residential building next to it.
And as soon as the rickshaw went in, someone immediately closed the courtyard door.
Then.
Seven or eight men surrounded him.
These men were all armed with weapons, and without saying a word, they came up and attacked Zhao Zheng's vital points.
Zhao Zheng understood in his heart.
Presumably, these people should have been sent by the Song family, wanting to kill him, so that he would not pester the Song family's young lady again.
Looking at the Song family's way of doing things, they are also ruthless people!
They didn't even want to ask, they just wanted to kill people?

(PS: Thank you all for the rewards!)
