Chapter 21 A Visit to a Master
Lie Hai King, Lie Yong Zhou, is also a peerless genius who constantly hones himself in order to become stronger! Before today, he may have only tasted defeat from the older generation of masters like Guo Haihuang and Liu Haiwang, and it was not until he was easily defeated by a person of his own age, or even younger, that he wavered in his belief for the first time.
Looking at the appearance of the Burning Sea King, Ma Le suddenly remembered what Blade Fang said in the original comics when he first showdown his status as a fighting champion to his girlfriend. Blade Fang shouldn't have said it yet, so let's let him steal it.
"As long as you are a man, even if it is only once in your life, everyone has dreamed of becoming the strongest person in the world! However, at some point, people gave up on this dream. Was it when brothers got into a fight and were knocked to the ground by the older brother? Is it the time to compete for the king of children, and when you lose to other friends? Or was it the first time I knew it hurt after being punched by my father? In the end, for one reason or another, 99.9999% of people gave up on this dream and instead dreamed of becoming doctors, lawyers, scientists, politicians, writers...... However, there are still a small number of people, the remaining 0.0001%, no matter what they have experienced or who they have met, they have never given up on the original dream! ”
Speaking of this, Ma Le smiled: "It's stupid, right, but now you and I are standing here, as well as the sleeping blade next door, and the fighters who have gathered from all over the world to participate in the Super Martial Arts Tournament in a few days, we are all such men!" ”
"Training, fighting, and becoming stronger are not tools to achieve anything, just because we want to be stronger!"
Hearing Ma Le's words, King Liehai felt a warm current surging in his chest, and the frustration in his heart was filled with because of the defeat just now, and he was immediately washed away.
Seeing Lie's expression, Ma Le knew that his psychological shadow had been swept away. Ma Le smiled and pointed to the door behind him: "Also, the champion blade who sleeps there, he is not a parallel import, that kid will definitely become your best opponent!" I didn't figure it out until I was twenty-five years old, but this kid seems to have been born to understand! ”
Lie nodded, he experienced a defeat before the competition, I don't know what kind of impact it will have on him, and the comatose Blade Fang, the last super fighting tournament in the first part of Blade Fang, will it continue according to the original plot?
These are not what Ma Le needs to care about, because he has already received news from King Liehai and is ready to leave for China.
"Gourmet, aren't you going to stay and join us?" Tokugawa shook Ma Le's hand and said reluctantly: "With your level, you can definitely compete with those martial artists, and it's not impossible to win the championship!" ”
Ma Le shook his head and declined: "The same is the pursuit of the strongest, I have my own path." By the way, old man, at the evening convention, invite a team of hunters to come, and prepare a few more snipers, all equipped with tranquilizer (harmony) guns, and net guns, ready to catch the largest beasts! ”
"What is this for?"
"Because there will always be unruly, uninvited guys!"
After saying this, Ma Le got into the car and left the Tokugawa Mansion.
Aside from how Tokugawa is preparing for the fighting tournament, Ma Le has already boarded a plane to China.
…………
Green hills, green water, paths, bamboo.
Ma Le is now in a beautiful and picturesque place.
"This old thing, really looking for a place!" Ma Le couldn't help but complain, and the poison island behind him smiled: "If you can get rid of the shackles of the system, I really hope to live leisurely in such a place!" ”
Ma Le smiled: "This is easy to do, when it comes back to reality, I will find such a place and build a hut as a stronghold for our team!" ”
"Reality? There really is such a good place, and it has been developed into a scenic spot......" Poison Island pouted, "Where is our turn to start?" ”
"Then enjoy it now!" With that, Ma Le stepped on the bluestone-paved steps and walked into the quiet bamboo forest.
According to the information provided by the King of the Liehai Sea, Guo Haihuang is now living in seclusion in this mountain, and to see him, he must first climb thousands of steps.
Ma Le did not exert superhuman ability, just step by step, down-to-earth walking up, after about ten minutes, the eyes suddenly opened up, and you could see an antique mansion door in the distance, and at the door sat a little old man with a wrinkled face, sunglasses, and a stick in his hand.
Ma Le stepped forward: "Old man, may I ask if there is a worldly master surnamed Guo here?" ”
The old man raised his head, looked at Ma Le through the sunglasses, and stood up tremblingly: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, is there a worldly master surnamed Guo who lives here?"
The old man sighed: "Since he is a master outside the world, how do you know that his surname is Guo?" ”
Ma Le shrugged his shoulders: "Because he became a master first, and then he was born, after all, he was the Sea Emperor a hundred years ago!" ”
"That's ...... Ah......" The old man turned around in a trembling voice, pointed his stick on the ground, and walked forward step by step, "Then come with me......"
Ma Le followed the old man into the courtyard, where there were all kinds of stone locks, barbells and other strength equipment used in cultivation, and there were several rows of weapon racks in the corner, on which there were eighteen kinds of weapons.
The old man trembled through the courtyard, walked to the door of the house, and shouted inside, "Boss, someone has come looking for you!" ”
After the old man shouted, more than ten seconds later, the door of the house opened, and out of it came an old man with a white beard.
The old man is about 1.8 meters tall, although he is already in his old age, but his figure is very tall, his silver hair is meticulously combed, and the long hair under his chin hangs down to his chest, which looks quite fairy. Although the old man was wearing a long shirt, he could still see the full muscles covered underneath from the undulations of the cloth.
"Amazing!" Ma Le clapped his hands: "At the age of more than a hundred years, he can still maintain such a physique, and he is worthy of being the best inheritor of Chinese martial arts!" ”
The old man frowned: "Is that you, you want to challenge the title of Sea Emperor?" ”
"It seems that Guo Lao has been waiting for a long time?" Ma Le clenched his fists with both hands: "In Xiamei Top 10, come and ask for advice!" ”
"I received a letter from Liezi!" The old man smiled slightly: "Okay, are you going to be empty-handed, or equipment?" ”
Ma Le shrugged his shoulders: "I don't care, you old man can pick whatever you want, anyway, I'm the most powerful empty-handed!" ”
"What a big breath!" The old man stepped down the steps step by step, slowly walked in front of Ma Le, and stretched out his right hand: "Then let's shake hands!" ”
Ma Le smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the old man's hand.
Then there was a deathly silence.
The two of them kept shaking hands in this posture and remained motionless, and even the poison island behind Ma Le held his breath, paying close attention to the silent duel between the two. In the whole courtyard, only the blind old man with sunglasses, still holding a stick, took a trembling walk.
The two shook hands motionlessly for about a minute, and finally let go of each other.
"What a great young man!" Guo Lao couldn't help but praise: "No matter what kind of force I use, you can easily resolve it!" At such an age, you have such an understanding of boxing theory, you are a real genius! ”
"Genius can't be talked about, it's just luck!" Ma Le is not sorry at all, if it weren't for the good luck to enter the system, the good luck to gain strength, and the good luck to escape from death again and again to be strengthened, he is probably still an elderly unemployed vagrant, and even faces the dilemma of being wanted by the police.
"Okay, Guo Lao, I can be regarded as passing the test!"
Hearing Ma Le's words, the old man frowned slightly: "You said the test? ”
"Of course, didn't it just now see if I was qualified to pass the test with the Sea Emperor?" As he spoke, Ma Le turned his head and looked at the trembling blind old man: "Right, Guo Haihuang?" ”
Hearing Ma Le call him, the blind old man was slightly stunned, then smiled, raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dark eyes that were incommensurate with the old man's appearance: "Young man, when did you find out?" ”
Ma Le smiled slightly: "From the first time I saw you, I had some doubts, but I am really sure that when you stand up and walk, although you want to disguise yourself as a blind man with a faltering step as much as possible, but you are not an actor after all, this kind of experience of faltering, I am afraid you have not had it since birth, and it is too lifeless to perform!" ”
Hearing Ma Le's words, Guo Haihuang smiled and said: "You can judge the level of a person from his steps, and your eyesight is not like what a person of this age should have!" ”
Of course, Ma Le's judgment of identity does not depend on the pace, after all, the appearance of Guo Haihuang is depicted in the comics, although there will be differences between real people and comics, but no matter how you look at it, an old man with sunglasses who is less than one meter six tall and thin and withered, this image will not be much different. The impostor who appeared in the back is tall and strong, so it is obviously impossible!
However, Poison Island hadn't read the comics, and when he heard Ma Le's explanation, he pointed to the imposter who came out of the back with some confusion and asked: "Since the master has seen the problem, why do you still call this old gentleman Guo Lao, and say that he is the best inheritor of Chinese martial arts?" ”
"That's right!" Ma Le looked at the tall old man with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, this old gentleman should be Guo Haihuang's son, and naturally he is also Guo Lao." As for ......, the best inheritor of Chinese martial arts," Ma Le looked at Guo Haihuang: "I think Guo Haihuang here is already the embodiment of Chinese martial arts!" ”
"Hahaha, so I'm the son of Chinese martial arts?" The tall Guo Lao laughed and said: "Boy, I didn't expect you to not only have great skills, but also a must-have kung fu for slapping sycophants!" ”
