Chapter 2: Chapter 2: A Thousand Years of Martial Arts, Blossoming within the Walls and Fragrance Outside the Walls



Fight more in real combat, "Jos said confidently." It's not the kind of arena combat, but real- life combat. Back then, when faced with fierce enemies rushing towards you, all your skills were useless, your mind was empty, and all the fighting was instinctive tearing and fist waving. Only when you can calmly face fierce enemies can your skills be put to use. Of course, you can start practicing from the arena. What is this called in your Chinese Kung Fu? Let me think

He patted his head with his hand and suddenly remembered, "Oh, this is called one courage, two strength, and three kung fu. Without courage, any technique will go awry

I only have two months, summer vacation is over, I have to go back to study. What can I learn in two months? "Su Jie kept absorbing knowledge and experience from Jos.

This foreigner who often fights can not only help him practice his oral English, but also find fighting experience from him to avoid detours.

Joss has a great knowledge of Chinese Kung Fu and has traveled thousands of miles across the sea to come here. This spirit and thirst for knowledge are worth learning from Su Jie.

Oh? Two months, Su Jie, are you kidding? "Jos almost jumped up." I can't even train my muscles for two months. You know, I've been practicing for seven or eight years, and I really can't do anything about it. Unless you go practice marksmanship, bang! Bullets can help you solve many things

Su Jie stopped talking and knew that he wanted to learn martial arts and become a master. It was really impossible to do anything in two months.

Reality is not a novel or movie. If you take some elixir and are taught century old skills, or if some spiritual energy washes away hair and marrow, your whole body will become dirty and you will immediately undergo a complete transformation.

That guy is a master of various martial arts such as Sanda, fighting, and wrestling who has been practicing for many years. He visits the gym every day. If I were to learn martial arts from him, I would definitely not be able to compete with him. But I cannot let that guy continue to harass my sister. "Su Jie remembered his humiliation and felt angry in his heart. This is also the reason why he chose to enroll in traditional martial arts classes instead of attending Sanda, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts classes at the martial arts school.

There are also many combat training classes in Minglun Martial Arts School. On the contrary, few people sign up for traditional martial arts classes. Even if they sign up, most of them are foreigners.

This is really blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside, "Su Jie commented on this. A day of digging and digging training passed like this. Coach Gu Yang explained in the last hour what posture to use to dig, flip, knock, lift, and drop.

Everything else was not taught, let alone any martial arts movements or combat techniques. Coach, aren't we here to learn martial arts? When will we start training in combat and actual combat? "At this moment, a student couldn't help but ask.

I told you how to make money, do I have to teach you how to spend money? "Coach Gu Yang said coldly, choking the student back.

Upon hearing these words, Su Jie understood in his heart that Coach Gu Yang was likely only teaching some methods of practicing strength, and how to apply them needed to be figured out by himself.

Just thinking about it, the students present are all short-term martial arts training classes and cannot learn anything advanced.

It's not useless either. On the contrary, the strength of digging and turning soil is very useful. If we practice purely for two months like this, our strength will increase a lot, "Su Jie thought to himself." Maybe the coach will teach us more advanced things in the future

The one-day practice has already ended.

All the students followed Gu Yang for a few kilometers back to school, panting like dogs from exhaustion. They sat in the dormitory and rested for a while before starting to eat. The food in the school cafeteria was still very good, the prices were reasonable, and the meat was abundant.

Of course, there are various nourishing Tonic Diet packages, but the price is very expensive if you book them in advance.

Su Jie subconsciously calculated his bank card and silently ordered some ordinary food. His family's conditions are neither good nor bad. His mother is a university professor, and he has an older sister, Su Muchen, who works as a research expert in artificial intelligence at a large company. His salary is quite high, and he occasionally receives some pocket money. My father is a security team leader in a company, and his salary is much lower than my mother's.

My mother is a university professor and my father is a security guard. There is a big difference between these two classes, and many people wonder why they got married and had children.

In fact, Su Jie also had this question after becoming sensible, but when he asked his father once and got beaten up, he dared not ask anymore.

He didn't ask his parents for money when he came out this time, but rather the money he had accumulated from tutoring students in his daily life.

He is still in high school now, and because of his excellent grades, some parents ask him to tutor their children in their studies. From childhood to adulthood, he has also accumulated a lot of pocket money.

He is very frugal and doesn't play games like other students. He also doesn't like toys, let alone chasing stars or buying anime character figurines. He saves money piece by piece.

However, registering for this study class this time is very expensive. It costs 30000 yuan for a two month summer vacation, which is simply a competition. He spent most of the private money he had accumulated from childhood to adulthood.

Where's my ginseng milk chicken

Jos also arrived at the VIP restaurant in the cafeteria and invited Su Jie to come in for a meal.

The chef at the VIP restaurant brought up a pot of soup with a milky aroma, topped with a few ginseng roots, various mushrooms, and free range chicken. In addition, there were rich foods such as vegetables, fresh fruits, beef, and more.

Oh, this ginseng milk stewed chicken, the ginseng inside, preferably wild, hundred year old ginseng, thousand year old ginseng is the best. The skill has greatly increased! Especially the milk, it would be great if it were human milk. "Jos shook his head, seeming not very satisfied. I didn't expect you, a foreigner, to know Chinese recipes? "The chef became interested and asked in Chinese," But this dish is only a thousand yuan. Although ginseng is grown, it is also aged for six years. As for human milk, do you think this is from the royal family of the Qing Dynasty

The nobles and aristocrats of the Qing Dynasty liked to drink breast milk, which was actually raised by a group of wet nurses who squeezed out human milk, boiled it hot, and added things

such as rock sugar.

As the saying goes, the strength of breastfeeding. The longer a child is breastfed, the greater

their strength.

"Jos, as a foreigner, do you still believe in these? Ginseng grown in the wild is no different from that planted in the past six years. It is the strongest in the past six years, and contains the most saponins. Ginseng has become wood for a hundred years, which is almost the same as wood, and has no medicinal power at all. However, breast milk is much stronger than milk, and there are no substances in it. It is true that babies who grow up drinking breast milk are smarter and stronger than those who drink milk." At this time, it is Su Jie's the academic bully's turn to give play to his knowledge in biology and history.

In addition to the knowledge in the textbook, he also extensively studied some extracurricular knowledge.

He is also good at physical education classes, running, high jump, long jump, skipping rope, throwing shot put, javelin, horizontal bar, parallel bar, all of which can meet the standards. Of course, he cannot compare with those sports students, but he is much stronger than students who play games and sleep all day long.

Of course, martial arts are not taught in schools, so there is naturally little knowledge about martial arts and combat. Nowadays, there are various remedies available.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Okay, okay. Let's have dinner. I specially ordered for two people today, it's more interesting to eat together. I can't eat alone, "Jos said to Su Jie.

Joss, you invited me to dinner. Do you need my help with something? "Su Jie was half joking

and half serious.

Of course, be a sandbag for me. I still have to train tonight! "Jos ate quickly and his words

were not very clear." But I'm not taking advantage of you, this is also good for you. Don't you want to become a master in two months? Although this kind of training can't make you a master, it can still help you deal with ordinary combat

Why do you want me to be your sandbag? I'm not your match. You should find someone similar to you, "Su Jie asked strangely.

No, no, no, it's precisely because you're weak that I can control you. You're a target of

activity, and if you're a similar opponent to me, we both fight with all our might and are likely to get injured. You have to remember not to get injured during training, because many times, even professional fighters may get injured during the training process. After getting injured, it's difficult to recover and they will retire, and their career will be cut off. On the contrary, in real competitions, there are very professional referees, strict rules, and everyone is careful to avoid fouls. The number of injuries is actually very small, "Jos warned Su Jie seriously." So, every training session, you must take it seriously and never get injured. Being able to forcefully practice and endure pain is a form of self harm

Understood. "Su Jie gained experience again and silently remembered it in his heart.

These chopsticks are so troublesome, "Jos grabbed them, but couldn't pick up the food, feeling awkward and clumsy. He picked up a piece of chicken and was about to put it in his mouth, but for some reason, he didn't control his strength well. Click! The chicken fell to the ground, so angry that he threw his chopsticks on the ground.

There are knives and forks here, "Su Jie quickly pushed the knife and fork next to him.

"You Chinese are amazing. It's such a difficult tableware to use chopsticks." Joss had no choice. He wanted to eat with chopsticks on purpose, but he just couldn't master it.

He has great strength and good physical fitness, but he uses skillful chopsticks to pick things up, and no matter how strong his strength is, it's useless.

We have always been accustomed to using chopsticks since childhood, so of course we are skilled at it, "Su Jie said, suddenly falling silent, as if thinking of something. Why aren't you talking? "Jos swallowed heavily and asked with a mixture in his mouth.

I'm thinking, you Westerners are naturally strong in physique and use knives and forks, while we Easterners have a weaker physique, so we need to use skills to make up for it. Cultural habits can be seen from tableware. Perhaps we can see some martial arts principles... "Su Jie showed a different mindset from his peers.

After finishing their meal, the two of them returned to the dormitory to rest. It was a double room, but without a separate bathroom, it was a public bathhouse. Overall, the conditions were not very good or bad.

In Su Jie's view, this accommodation condition is not worth the tuition fee.

Jos lay in bed, while Su Jie began sitting at the table writing a diary, summarizing the day's

events, and then reflecting on what he did not do well, what he learned, and what insights he

gained.

This has been his habit since elementary school for many years.

On July 2nd, I mastered some of the techniques of digging and turning soil. It turns out that

doing farm work is so hard, and there are so many skills and methods to exert force. According to Joss, this is an important training in traditional martial arts, and I think it is also possible because in ancient China, farmers were very hardworking and had to do a lot of physical work. Moreover, there was a shortage of resources in rural areas, and frequent fighting occurred. There are many examples in history textbooks. Two villages compete for water resources with each other, and when digging ditches, there are large-scale fights, resulting in heavy casualties. In ancient times, the idea of favoring sons over daughters was actually that if there were no male members in the family or there were not many male members, they would be bullied to death by neighbors or fellow villagers, as well as village bullies. In ancient times, a chicken, a tree, and even a few pounds of rice were all important treasures. There were no men in the family, and even if they couldn't do their work, their belongings would be robbed and stolen. If there are many men in the family and they know martial arts, then they can survive very well. This is a survival necessity and there is no other way

Joss said that having a lot of practical experience and truly fighting is the only way to have courage, and I agree with that. It's like studying. You can do questions again, but without the atmosphere of many big exams, you will lose your mentality and not be able to do many questions that you usually do, leaving your mind blank. I have experienced this situation

before. Exams are similar to fighting

What I need to do next is to master this digging technique, learn how to use it in real combat,

fight more, be careful not to get hurt, protect myself, overcome fear, and increase courage. Su Jie, you can do it

After finishing today's reflection day and summarizing, Su Jie closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling full of vitality again.

He is very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old now, with strong recovery ability.

However, later on, he added another note at the end of his diary: "I want to have an English conversation with Josdore to improve my speaking skills
