snort!
Inside the audition room, old man Yu Chenghui, who was sitting in the corner, was breathing heavily.

Before this, he had never uttered a word.

The old man is a very pure person.

In other words, most of the top talents in technical industries are relatively pure people.

Although Mr. Yu has a lot of performance experience, he is actually an expert when it comes to acting.

But he did not express any opinion on Zhang Yuan's performance just now, and did not even frown or pout.

Because when director Wang Xinming asked the old man for help, he just told him to focus on kung fu and didn't mention anything about acting, so he didn't say a word.

But now that Zhang Yuan mentioned Kung Fu and listed so many of his specialties in one breath, the old man couldn't hold it anymore.

"This kid is talking too much!"

He is an expert and naturally understands one thing.

Human beings have limits.

Even a peerless martial arts genius cannot truly master all martial arts.

Including the old man himself, even though he is a Ningxia martial arts coach, he can use all kinds of weapons with great skill.

But he was only truly proficient in two and a half things.

The first is the origin of his nickname "Two-handed Sword Master", a two-handed sword technique called "Two-handed Belt".

In fact, before Yu Chenghui, the "double-handed belt" had been lost in China.

This is a martial arts technique that originated from the Pudao of the Song Dynasty, but like many traditional Chinese skills, it has been preserved intact in the island country.

Many techniques in the island nation's kendo are derived from "double-handed belt".

It was the old man who read ancient books and combined them with the island country's swordsmanship to restore the "two-handed" sword technique.

The second is his Drunken Sword Technique. In 63, he won the East China Wushu Championship with his Drunken Sword Technique and became famous from then on.

And the remaining half is the shooting skill!

The old man's marksmanship was superb, especially his sudden attack, which was incredibly fast and hard to defend against.

In a competition in 84, Yu Chenghui fought against Wang Jue, who was known as a "martial arts genius", with a two-handed sword.

The opponent used a stick to meet the attack, but within two minutes, Yu Lao turned around and swung his sword. Wang Jue fell to the ground in pain, covering the bleeding inner thigh with one hand, and he had no strength to fight anymore.

This battle video can still be found on the Internet in later generations, and it can be clearly seen that the turning sword move used by Mr. Yu actually has the shadow of a surprise attack.

Therefore, even the old man only admitted that he was proficient in two and a half martial arts.

But Zhang Yuan listed six kinds of kung fu in one breath, and said he was good at all of them. The old man couldn't help but snorted coldly.

He thought to himself that this kid must have thought that knowing a routine meant he was good at it.

But that’s not called knowing, that’s called learning!

Just like Jiumozhi in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", he seemed to have learned the unique skills of Shaolin Temple, but in fact, it was all forced by the Xiao Wuxiang Gong.

The Shaolin Kung Fu he used was actually Xiao Wuxiang Gong at its core, but it just imitated the forms of these Shaolin Kung Fu.

In fact, the same goes for Guo Degang. Whether he is singing Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Henan Opera, or even pop songs, why is there a Bangzi flavor to it?

Because his foundation is Bangzi, he is just using Bangzi's foundation to force his voice and breath to imitate other types of music. This is what we call learning while learning to sing.

But Brother Qian doesn’t have this problem when singing rock music. He is not learning, but singing for real.

What old man Yu Chenghui was thinking was that this kid had learned at most one or two kinds of Kung Fu, and based on that, he imitated other Kung Fu and then called himself an expert.

You little brat, how shameless of you to talk so much!
Zhang Yuan saw that the old man looked unhappy, but he did not look worried. Instead, he bowed leisurely and then performed the starting posture of Tongbeiquan.

The basic concept of Tongbeiquan is that weapons are extensions of arms, and arms are also weapons that humans are born with.

To put it simply, it is about using the arms as weapons, so Tongbeiquan looks very open and close, and the amplitude and range of attack are much larger than ordinary boxing.

As soon as Zhang Yuan stood still, Mr. Yu raised his eyebrows.

The tip of the front hand, the tip of the front foot and the tip of the nose are perfectly aligned in a vertical line. This is the starting posture of Tongbeiquan and the key to the force, named "Three Tips Aligned".

Other boxing styles such as Pi Gua, Baji, Xingyi, etc. also have similar force-generating techniques.

So just like Zhao Wenzhuo, after he mastered Tongbeiquan, he also became good at Pi Gua, Baji and Xingyi. These styles have something in common.

Pa pa pa pa... Zhang Yuan's muscles were loose yet tense, and he exerted force instantly. Immediately, bursts of loud noises like popping beans were heard in the arena.

Cold, crisp, fast and hard; heavy, long, flexible and dexterous; heavy, fierce, light, and agile; contained, empty, sticky and following.

This is the key point of Tongbeiquan.

Old Master Yu narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, nodding slightly.

"Although his skills are not very advanced, he should have practiced for a short time, probably two and a half years at most."

"But the foundation is solid, the movements are solid, and what's even more valuable is that there are no fancy moves, and each move is very standard."

When the old man saw this, his disdain faded a little.

As a martial arts coach, he likes those children who can practice the basics solidly. After all, he has seen too many people who are cunning and do not practice well, but always think of cheating.

These days, there are not many young people who are willing to lay the foundation seriously!
The old man closed his eyes again and listened carefully with his ears.

The Tongbeiquan makes a lot of striking noises when it's being used, and that's what the old man is hearing now.

"Cold, crisp, and fast!"

"He has a very good power technique, it's not a bluff."

They may not be able to tell the good from the bad of Tongbeiquan just by listening to the sound.

After finishing a set, Zhang Yuan stood up straight, clasped his fists and bowed.

Mr. Yu raised his chin slightly, motioning him to continue.

"He doesn't look very old, only about 20 years old. It's not easy for him to master a skill."

"It seems that Tongbeiquan is his foundation." The old man thought to himself.

However, when Zhang Yuan started to make another set of moves, the old man narrowed his eyes.

"Stand with your feet together, chest straight, arms hanging naturally, palms attached to the outside of your thighs, palms facing inwards... This is Luohan Fist."

"Oh, this kid is so confused!"

Why did Mr. Yu say that?
Because when Tongbeiquan is exerting force, it is important to relax the whole body and stretch the legs and feet as much as possible to achieve the purpose of a large attack range.

The Luohan boxing is a hard and tough boxing, which requires the whole body to be tense and capable of both offense and defense.

The two have completely opposite methods and theoretical bases for using muscles, especially the chest and back muscles.

As the saying goes, muscle memory, the way you use your muscles is difficult to change, let alone do the exact opposite.

But the next second, Zhang Yuan's performance severely broke the old man's common sense.

Block, force, charge, dodge, point, lift, press, hook, copy, throw... every move is powerful.

Palm cross, smash fist, advance fist, chop palm, block fist, charge fist, chop fist, face fist, cross fist, push palm, insert palm... every move is majestic.

Step up, step down, advance, step back, sneak step, twist step, dodge step, swing step... every step is calm.

Kicking the legs, kicking the legs, braking the legs, kicking forward, kicking backward... every leg is like a rainbow.

The structure is rigorous and has both offensive and defensive capabilities.

At the same time, like Tongbeiquan, Luohanquan also has "sounds". But the difference is that the sound of Tongbeiquan comes from the crisp sound of hitting itself, while the sound of Luohanquan comes from the shouting of the user.

This is not just a random shout.

Use air to blow through teeth, make a sound like thunder, use sound to boost power, use air to increase strength. This is a set of breathing methods used in conjunction with boxing, and every breath and shout is in line with the boxing.

The old man's eyes flickered as he looked up and down, while he kept listening.

"Not only is the way of exerting force correct, but the breathing and boxing techniques are also integrated. This is a solid foundation that can only be achieved after at least two and a half years of practice."

"Can……"

The two and a half years that Mr. Yu mentioned is not the time for eating, drinking, playing, and practicing several kinds of Kung Fu at the same time. That is the time for a street-slick college student to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

The two and a half years he mentioned means concentrating fully on practicing only one kind of kung fu from morning till night, and one must have excellent talent to have this foundation.

"Two and a half years plus two and a half years, this kid must have worked hard for at least five years to reach this level." Old Yu calculated.

"And how did he manage to switch between the two muscle-generating techniques without going off track?"

The old man was puzzled. Could this kid have a split personality, with one personality for each type of kung fu?

After finishing this set, Zhang Yuan breathed heavily and clasped his hands together again.

"You take a rest first, don't be in a hurry." Old Master Yu took the initiative to speak and asked him to take it slow.

Wang Xinming, who was standing by, also noticed the change in the old man's attitude and watched from the side.

He was obviously quite disdainful just now, but now he feels like he wants more. Why has the old man changed his personality?

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement, rested for five or six minutes, and then took up his stance again.

The body is straight, the upper body is slightly leaning forward, and the hands are slightly bent and passed in front of the face, like two fish swimming in the water, leisurely and contented.

He took one step and switched his arms, his movements were extremely sharp.

Yu Chenghui slapped his thigh and said, "Mantis Fist!"

When he saw this set of boxing techniques, he was obviously more excited than before.

There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, the domestic mantis boxing master Yu Hai is his good friend, and Mr. Yu’s mantis boxing is almost the best in the country.

Secondly, what many people don’t know is that Master Yu Chenghui’s original family is actually the Northern Mantis Sect, and he is a genuine descendant of the Mantis Sect!
However, although he had the orthodox skills, the nimble and casual style of Mantis Boxing as well as its combination of hardness and softness did not match his personality. In addition, his good friend Yu Hai's Mantis Boxing was so advanced that Yu Chenghui almost never showed off his unique skills.

Because he felt that he was not doing well enough.

But don't think that the old man is not good at Mantis Boxing. What he thinks is not good enough may be a level that ordinary people can never reach in their lifetime.

Moreover, the old man also combined Mantis Fist and Two-handed Sword Technique to create the Mantis Sword.

Without a solid foundation, you will never be able to master it.

In fact, the Mantis Fist of Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui is different.

Yu Hai uses the Seven Star Mantis Boxing, which is known for its strength and ferocity.

Yu Chenghui's is Liuhe Mantis Fist. The founder Wei Santian was born with a disability in his hand. There is a web of flesh between the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, which is called duck palm.

This kind of disability makes it difficult for him to do farm work, but he is the "Innate Holy Body of Mantis Boxing"!
Others still have to practice fingering techniques, but he can only use the praying mantis style.

Liuhe Mantis Boxing is gentle in nature, so it does not match Yu Chenghui's temperament.

Look at Zhang Yuan again!

The mantis boxing he used was different from the Seven Stars and Six Combinations.

Hook, building, pick, hang, stick, dip, paste, lean on, trick, advance, collapse, and hit.

The twelve words of Mantis Fist are performed one by one.

"Move the waist, don't move the hips, and the legs should be like coiled roots." Old Yu recited softly. This is the force-generating technique of Mantis Boxing, which is completely different from other boxing styles.

"Strong but gentle, and a bit majestic, like a bit of Yu Hai..."

Zhang Yuan learned the Mantis Fist from two people, one of whom was Wu Jing.

Wu Jing's mantis boxing was influenced by Yu Hai. Yu Chenghui had sharp eyes and was indeed not wrong.

The other person was Wang Baoqiang, whom I had just met. He used Shaolin Mantis Boxing, which was of course different from Seven Stars and Six Combinations.

It is somewhat similar to the concept of Shaolin Luohan Boxing, both of which are offensive and defensive, with hard-core tactics.

Sliding steps, following steps, stepping steps, dragging steps... Mr. Yu stared closely at Zhang Yuan's lower body steps.

"It takes at least two and a half years to practice these steps."

Mr. Yu counted on his fingers and realized that it had been three and a half years, or more than seven years.

"He just said that he is good at six kinds of kung fu, and these are three of them..." Yu Chenghui sat up straight.

Whether viewed from the perspectives of footwork, body movements, boxing techniques, force generation techniques, or martial arts concepts, these three types of boxing are different and can be called systems.

"But his foundation in these three skills is extremely solid. He must have practiced them specially, not just simply imitated them!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that I'm good at it."

Yu Chenghui frowned.

How old is he?
He then practiced the three different types of boxing until they were deeply rooted and flourishing.

Yu Lao's face froze: "He can't really have mastered six kinds of kung fu!"

At his age, he has seen all kinds of masters.

But I have never met anyone so young who is proficient in so many martial arts.

"Could it be that he is not exaggerating and is telling the truth?"

Old Man Yu began to doubt himself.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong with you?" Director Wang Xinming asked in a low voice when he saw the old man's face change.

"Director Wang." Yu Chenghui raised his hand and responded, "I'm fine."

"Should we let him continue to demonstrate?" Director Wang asked when he saw Zhang Yuan finished performing the Mantis Fist.

He thought to himself that he had already practiced three sets of boxing, and Mr. Yu was an expert, so he should have been able to tell whether the opponent was good or bad, so there was no need to waste time.

After all, they couldn't understand it, they just watched for fun.

In addition, the old man looked unhappy, so he thought that the old man was unhappy.

"Yeah!" Unexpectedly, the old man nodded firmly: "I want to see his other skills."

"Are you sure?" Wang Xinming was very surprised.

Just now, Wu Yue only performed three sets of kung fu before the old man called for a stop.

"Will it not waste time?" the old man asked with a sidelong glance.

"No delay!" Director Wang quickly replied, "I originally wanted you to check it."

"That's good." After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yuan again: "Rest for a few more minutes, I'll see what else you can do."

The old man became increasingly excited.

Could it be that I have met a martial arts genius? (End of this chapter)
