Chapter 55: The Martial Arts Turmoil
The next day, the Heavenly Star Martial Academy, as usual, divided into several venues to teach the disciples boxing techniques and physical training.
More than 30 people, including Xia Fan, Shangguan Junfeng, and Jiang Haoran, were in the Shenglong group. Since entering the Martial Academy, all disciples must go through three stages of cultivation: the Young Dragon Group, the Hidden Dragon Group and the Shenglong Group, and after entering the Shenglong Group, if they are approved by the Master, they can officially become disciples of the Heavenly Star Gate.
The number of disciples recruited by Tianxingmen each year is limited, but there are only five to ten, and if all the apprentices want to join, the competition will inevitably be fierce.
In the south of the Yangtze River, although the Tianxing Gate is not a first-class famous school, but it is also quite prestigious, the small Tianxing palm technique in the door and the hidden weapon kung fu of the thirteen flying swords in the sky are both well-known in the rivers and lakes, which can be called a must in martial arts.
As long as you officially join the Heavenly Star Gate, you can practice these two martial arts.
Xia Fan naturally wanted to join this sect, but in the Shenglong Group, there were six or seven people who were equivalent to his martial arts, and it was not so easy to stand out.
Moreover, most of the more than 30 people in the Thang Long Group are children of rich families, and they not only hold each other in groups, but also usually have gifts to honor the master, and the master will of course look at them differently.
I don't have any advantages, so I have to have a chance only by stepping up my practice and striving to win in martial arts.
Every morning in the morning, the Thang Long group will teach physical training and acupuncture points on the meridians of the human body, and in the afternoon, they will teach boxing equipment and interspersed with fighting skills.
In the afternoon, after a short rest, the disciples were summoned to the field by the master to begin the sparring exercises.
At present, they have learned three sets of boxing techniques, all of which are martial arts that are the foundation of Tianxingmen, and they must also be limited to these three sets of boxing techniques, and they must not use other exercises without permission.
In the usual sparring exercises, everyone is looking for their friends to practice together, Xia Fan's friend Zhou Yang didn't come today, he looked around to see if there was a brother with a good relationship.
The rest of the people also chose their opponents and began to practice their own moves.
Shangguan Junfeng glanced at Jiang Haoran, Jiang Haoran understood, came to Xia Fan with a smile, and said, "Senior Brother Xia, let's get together today, how about it?"
Xia Fan felt slightly strange, this Jiang Haoran and Shangguan Junfeng are the same, they are both children of rich families, and the two are very close on weekdays, and they have never paid attention to other disciples, but today they actually found themselves to practice boxing, but it was really unexpected. He didn't think much about it, and arched his hand and said, "Okay, please ask Senior Brother Jiang for advice." ”
The two stood opposite each other and pulled apart.
Jiang Haoran stepped forward, and hit Xia Fan with a hammer straight to the chest, Xia Fan's body was slightly sideways, the left hand oblique door bolt swept over, and the right palm Erlang Danshan struck out horizontally, patting the opponent's right shoulder, Jiang Haoran shook his body to avoid it, followed by another move to break the stone palm, and made his best efforts to slash at the top of Xia Fan's head.
The two of you went back and forth, dismantling more than ten moves, Xia Fan was secretly surprised in his heart, seeing that the other party went all out in every move, fierce and ruthless, and looked like he was going to beat himself into a serious injury. Originally, although he also emphasized the actual combat effect, he did not spare any other way to attack the enemy's key points like Jiang Haoran, but he never did it. But seeing Jiang Haoran advancing step by step, one move is as fast as a move, sometimes taking advantage of the master's inattention, even taboo moves such as gouging out eyes, locking throats, and kicking blocks are also used, Xia Fan was shocked and angry in his heart, one was not careful, he was hit by a leg in his waist, and his body shook, Jiang Haoran's eyes showed a fierce light, and two broken stone palms followed and shot out, hitting Xia Fan's chest.
Xia Fan returned his palm to block, knowing that the opponent's next move must be to change his move to hit his lower abdomen, this move was not only in his own calculation, but he could avoid it, but at this moment, his body was unstable, and he was attacked by the opponent quickly, so he couldn't avoid it in advance. Sure enough, Jiang Haoran's palms sank sharply down, and he slammed into Xia Fan's lower abdomen.
When Xia Fan was helpless, he condensed his dantian, and his body shrank back as much as he could, dissipating half of the opponent's palm power, and with a bang, Jiang Haoran hit his lower abdomen with both palms, Xia Fan's body was shocked, and he fell to the ground.
Jiang Haoran secretly showed a sneer on his face, and when he saw the master looking over, he immediately stepped forward to support Xia Fan, and apologized with a stack of apologies in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xia, just now I couldn't stop and injured you by mistake, are you okay?"
Xia Fan waved his hand away from his palm, struggled to get up, and looked at him coldly.
Master came over and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Haoran hurriedly said: "Master Hong, it's all my fault that I was eager to win, and I didn't stop my move in time, and I accidentally injured Senior Brother Xia." ”
Master Hong looked at Xia Fan and said, "Where did you get hit?"
Xia Fan's lower abdomen was in severe pain, filled with anger, and said loudly: "Master Hong, he just competed in martial arts, and repeatedly used forbidden moves, taking advantage of your old man's carelessness, he injured me." ”
Master Hong frowned, looked at Jiang Haoran, Jiang Haoran showed surprise on his face, and said, "Senior Brother Xia, you can say that! When did I use a forbidden move? Don't lose the fight, just find a reason to push." All the brothers and sisters present are clear proofs, you say, have I ever used a forbidden trick?"
A few people next to him immediately shouted: "No! We can see clearly, Senior Brother Jiang and Xia Fan have always been in order, and they have never used forbidden moves!"
"Senior Brother Xia, you are really, if you lose, you lose, what's the big deal, why are you looking for a reason to wronged people?"
An arrogant and cold voice came: "Hmph, he thought he was good at kung fu, but he lost to Jiang Haoran, and he was not convinced, so he began to bite people indiscriminately! This kind of character is also worthy of being kept in the Tianxing Martial Academy?"
Several other disciples looked at Xia Fan and looked at the master, their lips pursed, as if they were about to say something, Shangguan Junfeng and a few people around him looked over together, their faces were gloomy, and those few people were stunned in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
Xia Fan's face turned pale with anger, and he said, "Master Hong, a few of them are all the way, so naturally they help each other to speak." It's not the first time I, Xia Fan, have lost today, and when I lost before, how could I have found any reason? This Jiang Haoran has never practiced boxing with me in a group, but today he suddenly found me, and when he practiced boxing with his disciples, he not only made ruthless moves, but also made forbidden moves, and I don't know why. Master, what the disciple said is true, if you say half a lie, the sky will thunder!" He turned his head to look at Jiang Haoran and Shangguan, and shouted: "I can set up a poisonous curse, do you dare?"
Those people snorted coldly with contempt on their faces, but they didn't answer.
Master Hong heard him speak majesticly, and saw that those people had ambiguous expressions, and he already understood eight or nine points in his heart. He glanced at those people and said in a deep voice: "This sect has set up forbidden moves to prevent fellow disciples from hurting people by mistake when they compete in martial arts. If the two sides are legitimately contesting and occasionally miss, it should be reasonable, but if they have bad intentions and deliberately hurt others, they must not be forgiven. Jiang Haoran, have you ever used a forbidden trick, to be honest!"
Jiang Haoran suffocated slightly, and then raised his head and said: "No! I practice boxing with Xia Fan, and all I use are the moves allowed by the Martial Academy!"
Master Hong looked at the number of people beside him and asked, "A few of you who testified for him, have you seen it clearly?
The people glanced at each other, and some of them said, "...... Yes, we are also practicing boxing ourselves, and we can't see all of them, but as far as the few moves we see, Senior Brother Jiang really didn't ...... No violations. ”
Suddenly, I heard someone say: "I saw that when Senior Brother Jiang and Xia Fan were practicing, they used to poke their eyes and lock their throats, but Xia Fan has always strictly followed the rules and has not used a single taboo move." ”
Everyone followed the prestige and saw that the person who spoke was a young man named Yuan Ye, who had just entered the Shenglong Group a few months ago, and was one year younger than Xia Fan.
Jiang Haoran's eyes flashed with ferocity, stared at him, and said, "Senior Brother Yuan, you have to be careful when you speak, talking nonsense is not good for you!"
Yuan Ye said: "I'm telling the truth, why are you talking nonsense? I just practiced with Senior Brother Wu in a group, Senior Brother Wu suddenly had a stomachache and ran to the thatched house, I was alone and had nothing to do, just watch everyone practice." Senior Brother Jiang, I also watched most of the competition between you and Xia Fan, and I remember the last ten moves, I also remember it clearly, you grabbed it like this, Xia Fan parried like this, and you kicked out with your backlegs and kicked....." He even said and gestured, and demonstrated the moves of the two fighting one by one, so that the thirteenth move was Jiang Haoran's move to break the stone and push his palm, Xia Fan returned to block, and Jiang Haoran hit his lower abdomen with both palms.
Of these thirteen moves, six are taboo moves.
Xia Fan and Master Hong looked at Yuan Ye, and their eyes lit up with great joy. Xia Fan was happy that someone finally came out to defend him, and Master Hong was in the mood of discovering a heavy treasure.
Yuan Ye practiced more than ten moves, attacking and defending, if they were in line with the rules, the slightest bit of the buckle, and the danger of the two fighting was also fully revealed, which was definitely not something that could be forged for a while. Master Hong retracted his gaze, looked at Jiang Haoran, and said, "Jiang Haoran, what else do you have to say?"
Jiang Haoran glanced at Yuan Ye coldly, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Okay! The surname Yuan is kind!" and said to Master Hong: "I have nothing to say." I have always done my best to practice martial arts, and if the master thinks that the disciple is wrong, he will punish him as much as he likes. ”
Seeing that he was still so arrogant and lazy, Master Hong was even more angry in his heart, and said: "Okay, since you admit it, then according to the rules of my martial arts academy, deliberately hurt the same disciple, punish him with a cane and punish twenty, and kowtow in front of the ancestor tablet to admit his mistakes." Jiang Haoran, you have been practicing martial arts in the Martial Arts Academy for four years, and you are also a disciple of the Shenglong Group, I will save you some face, and I will not punish you in the lobby of the Martial Academy, but I will walk in this courtyard, can you be convinced?"
Jiang Haoran snorted and said, "In this case, I want to thank Master." ”
Shangguan Junfeng coughed and stepped forward and said, "Master Hong, Senior Brother Jiang competes with others, and he is eager to win, and he forgets the rules for a while when he makes a move, which is understandable." Besides, I see that although Senior Brother Xia fell to the ground, he was not injured. Besides, in a few months, it will be the period of the Junying Competition, if Senior Brother Jiang is injured, my martial arts academy will have one less candidate to appear. According to what the disciple saw, it is better to do this, since Senior Brother Xia has been slapped by Senior Brother Jiang, he will ask Senior Brother Jiang to give some silver taels, thinking that Senior Brother Xia will heal and recuperate, and reconcile the two, what do you think?"
