Chapter 10 The Ring of Martial Arts
The Western boxing competition that Hong Zhennan assisted in soon began, and on this day, Ye Mo followed the master and his disciples to the competition site. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Ip Man is also a well-known figure in the Hong Kong martial arts world now, so the greetings of "Master Ye!" are endless, and Ip Man is also politely returning, Ye Mo is not famous among the younger generation of disciples, and there are also many young martial artists who greet him.
The arena was indoors, and a Western-style boxing ring was set up in the middle, around which rows of seats were set up, and it was quickly filled. People from all walks of life in Hong Kong came to watch the competition, such as Hong Kong martial arts circles, journalists, foreigners, business people, etc. In the passionate drums, the atmosphere was very warm.
Before the Western boxing competition, the first arrangement was the performance of traditional Chinese martial arts, and the first batch of Hong Zhennan's apprentices practiced Hong boxing. And reporters from all walks of life also gathered around the ring, taking pictures vigorously. Seeing such a scene, Hong Zhennan also relieved his frustration about his recent hard work in arranging for the brothers to organize boxing matches but not getting a share from foreigners, and regarded it as a propaganda for the Hong Kong martial arts community.
Hong Zhennan greeted guests everywhere in the arena, and when he saw Ip Man, he walked over directly and invited Ip Man to send his apprentices to perform on stage, so that more people could know about Wing Chun. Ip Man was grateful for Hong Zhennan's kindness, and he happily agreed.
Hong Quan's performance was coming to an end, and the masters of the martial arts hall also arranged for the disciples to start preparing, and they would take turns to perform on stage later, and Ip Man also asked his apprentices to prepare for the stage later. Ye Mo's juniors and disciples are very excited, and they can perform martial arts on the occasion of so many people, which makes the young people's blood boil, but Ye Mo knows that it is estimated that everyone will not be able to perform on stage. In the eyes of those foreigners, the performance of Chinese martial arts is not very interesting, and in such an atmosphere of opinion, there will soon be conflicts.
Sure enough, the boxing champion known as the tornado in Western boxing quickly stepped into the ring, walked around disdainfully, watching the performance of the Hong boxing disciples, and the host of the boxing match also fanned the flames in a timely manner, saying in Chinese and English that the boxing king was eager to try Chinese martial arts.
Soon the performance ended, in the applause of the audience, Tornado provoked Brother Ji to punch him, Brother Ji was still a little scrupled, and finally punched out under the provocation of Tornado, but Tornado Sheng took the punch with his chest, motionless, and contemptuously let Brother Ji use a little harder. Such a scene aroused the love of the foreign audience present, who all talked and laughed loudly, praised the strength of the tornado, and ridiculed the weakness of Chinese martial arts.
Although Ji Ge couldn't understand what they said, his ridicule was still clear and understandable, and he attacked again in anger, but was easily blocked by Tornado and knocked him to the ground with a punch. The Hongquan disciples hurriedly pulled Ji Ge away, and in righteous anger, they all began to attack the tornado, but they were all knocked down by the tornado's punch in a few strokes.
Seeing the tornado shouting in the ring, the foreign audience applauded, but the Chinese personnel were full of indignation, and the other disciples of various factions who were waiting on the edge of the ring were all young people, and they couldn't bear it, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they climbed into the ring one after another to rescue the Hongquan disciples who were knocked down.
In the boxing king said: "Chinese martial arts are useless, go back and dance!" After that, the contradiction finally broke out completely, and there was chaos on and off the stage. Although there were foreigner staff members who surrounded and prevented the Chinese disciples from coming into contact with the tornado, but under the chaos, someone was soon knocked down by the tornado, but this time it was not Huang Liang, because Ye Mo was pulling him.
However, Ye Mo didn't let Huang Liang go up to fight the tornado, but he shouted in English with a crippled English that was qualified to read and write: "Big man, I'll go through a few tricks with you." "Although the accent is not standard, foreigners can still understand it.
Although Ye Mo took the initiative to ask for battle, he was still very nervous in his heart, but if he had the opportunity to conduct such a real battle, even if he was injured, it was worth it, and he was not afraid of being injured anyway. Tornado was not polite to Ye Mo, and directly punched him, Ye Mo didn't know how his strength compared to the other party, and at the beginning he still followed the principles of Wing Chun, defended with all his might, and took the opportunity to counterattack. Only when you really fight with the tornado do you know how powerful he is, the tornado's fist is extremely heavy, it is very difficult to defend, and the punching speed is also very fast, although Ye Mo has been defending well for a while and has not been hit, but there are not many opportunities to counterattack, and as the tornado's offensive gradually becomes stronger, he is becoming more and more unable to support it. But fortunately, he was not fighting alone, and soon someone joined the warband, and the two sides were completely chaotic.
The organizers of the foreigners' boxing match only watched the excitement from behind, the scene became more and more chaotic, the masters saw that the scene was about to get out of control, and they all stepped forward to stop it, but the conflict was already up and not so soon to end, and finally when Hong Zhennan and Ip Man both shot, the scene was controlled, and Hong Zhennan took the opportunity to kick the tornado away and hit the guardrail of the boxing ring with one leg.
After carrying the injured disciple off the ring, Hong Zhennan demanded that Tornado apologize for hurting people. Tornado disdainfully said that the person who won the battle did not need to apologize, otherwise he would have to apologize to others all day long, and it was okay for him to apologize, but he wanted Hong Zhennan to defeat him first.
Everyone was even more angry when they heard him say this, and several masters said that they wanted to compete with Tornado, but Hong Zhennan, as the leader of the Hong Kong martial arts community, was also confident that kung fu was the strongest, and decided to take it all in.
Soon, the competition between Hong Zhennan and Tornado officially began, and the foreign audience applauded and screamed, just as this was an interesting competition, the Chinese audience, especially the people in the Hong Kong martial arts community, had serious expressions and cheered for Hong Zhennan in their hearts.
Ye Mo knew that the critical time had come, under the development of the previous events, his prestige and strength could not change anything, but in the next competition, he could not be allowed to retreat, if he did not intervene, Hong Zhennan would inevitably be beaten to death in the ring.
So Ye Mo whispered to Ye Wen: "Master, do you remember what I said before that Master Hong was unwell, we will have to look at it carefully in a while, but don't let Master Hong have any accidents because of his physical illness." Ip Man also agreed with his statement, and planned to see the situation of the competition before deciding.
At the beginning, Hong Zhennan had a certain advantage in the competition with his profound Hong boxing skills, but Tornado, as a Caucasian person, had an advantage over the yellow race's physical fitness, and after systematic training in Western boxing, his strength and resistance to blows were extremely strong, and he was hit many times without any injuries.
Entering the second round, Hong Zhennan's physical strength gradually began to decline, and Tornado's Western boxing skills were also practiced in place, his fists were fast and heavy, and the defense of his chest and head was also tight, and he gradually became at a disadvantage, and even hit a few heavy punches.
At this time, Ye Mo began to act, he organized his juniors and disciples to be ready to intervene at any time, and asked Ye Man to be ready, Ye Man couldn't bear to let Hong Zhennan have an accident, and was ready to take action in time when he couldn't hold on.
The third round began quickly, and Hong Zhennan's physical strength at this time was even worse, and he was injured again, and he was not an opponent of Tornado, and was quickly knocked to the ground. Looking at the tragic scene, Ye Mo could no longer bear it, and broke into the ring with his junior brothers, Ye Man also followed closely on the stage, hugged Hong Zhennan, and no longer let him step forward, Hong Zhennan shouted: "You all go down, you can't let them look down on the Chinese!" But at this time, everyone was worried that there would be an accident if they continued to fight, no one listened to him, Hong Zhennan himself was seriously injured, and at this time he couldn't breathe, and he fainted directly, and for a while, the scene was chaotic.
The boxing match was hastily settled, Hong Zhennan was carried to the hospital by everyone as soon as possible, and the rescue was finally timely and there was no danger to his life, which made people in the Hong Kong martial arts community breathe a sigh of relief.
Hong Zhennan was injured and hospitalized, and the entire Hong Zhennan's division and family were lost for a while, and the backbone was chaotic, and the social response was fierce, causing huge controversy.
For a time, major newspapers and media reported on the incident on the front page, with headlines such as Western boxers bullying others, bullying Chinese martial arts, and Hong Zhennan fainting from serious injuries in order to defend Guoshuzun. It has aroused a great discussion among people from all walks of life about Chinese and foreigners.
At this time, the martial arts community in Hong Kong, and even the entire Chinese community, were calling for someone to stand up and defeat the tornado and defeat the foreigners. Under the persuasion of Ye Mo and other disciples, and even others in the Hong Kong martial arts community, Ip Man himself is also a very patriotic person, and he is also very sympathetic to Hong Zhennan's serious injury, so he agrees to challenge Tornado.
So, through the media, the news that Ip Man was going to challenge Tornado was quickly released, and the foreigners quickly agreed to play again out of wanting to calm down the situation and Tornado's confidence in their own strength. The contest is scheduled for a month later.
And Ye Mo's actions have just begun.
