Chapter 12
Kong Ling has never learned any martial arts since he was a child, nor has he ever fought with anyone, so his first step is to learn the boxing of all the masters in Wuguan Street. As for Ip Man, he understood that Ip Man would not teach people boxing at this time, so Ip Man did not consider it in the early stage.
Learning martial arts in Wuguan Street is actually very simple. As long as you pay the tuition, every master will teach you. The purpose of opening a martial arts school is to make money. Now Kong Ling doesn’t have a penny and can only work in a restaurant. Because he is very strong, Wu Chilin, the owner of the restaurant, took a look at it at a glance and asked Kong Ling to go to the back to split the materials and carry water and do some miscellaneous things. The salary is also enough. Moreover, Wu Chilin heard that Kong Ling came here to work to earn money to practice martial arts, so he generously introduced him to the martial arts school he was studying, and first paid him a month's tuition, and then deducted it from his wages.
Kong Ling expected that Wu Chi Lin would be so righteous. He was completely devoted to his preferences, and he was very strong and fast. He was able to take care of several people's work by himself. In addition, he would accompany Wu Chi Lin to practice when he came back at night. Soon he became the best friend of Wu Chi Lin. He was pulled by Wu Chi Lin to practice whenever he had time all day, and sometimes he didn't even need to do anything.
After a month like this, Kong Ling followed Wu Chi Lin to learn all the moves of all the masters on Wu Guan Street. In addition, he practiced with Wu Chi Lin day and night every night. He improved his martial arts very quickly, especially his strength, speed and physique. You should know that people in this world have normal physiques. Even if the martial arts power is only about 1.5 o'clock, the most powerful ones are over 2 o'clock.
After this month of contact, Kong Ling judged that even though Ip Man was only about 2.5 points in the measurement attributes, he was stronger than martial arts, and his body was just a little stronger than ordinary people.
Now he is able to defeat Wu Chilin with his 5-point attributes. Because of his fast speed, he is faster than others when making moves. Even if he is not skilled in moves, his speed and strength make up for the shortcomings in this regard.
On the evening of that day, Wu Chilin was knocked down by Kong Ling again. He shouted helplessly: "You are too strong, and I kick you. Why don't you even take a step back? This is too amazing."
Kong Ling went over and reached out to pull him up and smiled, "I have no choice but to be born with no choice. In fact, my moves are not proficient enough, and my moves are not consistent enough. If I hadn't been much stronger than you, I would definitely not be able to beat you."
"I'm so angry. By the way, I'll take you to meet someone. You should know who we are the one who can fight the best in Foshan."
"Ip Man!"
"Of course, try it with him. If you can beat him, then you will be the number one person in Foshan." Wu Chilin said excitedly.
Kong Ling knew that it would be impossible for him to face a generation of masters like Ip Man, but he would still go. Only by fighting with Ip Man can he improve faster.
Both of them came to Ip Man's mansion with anticipation. There was a large yard here. Ip Man happened to play with his wife at home with the child.
Wu Chilin walked to the iron gate of the yard. Ip Man saw him immediately, looked at his wife with a look of embarrassment, and then pointed to the door and said, "A friend has something to do with me."
Zhang Yongcheng saw that it was Wu Chi Lin and snorted. Wu Chi Lin immediately nodded and smiled, "Hello, sister-in-law."
She ignored her and continued to paint with the child. Seeing that his wife did not object, Ip Man stood up and walked to the gate and said, "Wu Chilin, what are you looking for in me?"
"Brother Ye, I came here today to bring a friend to you. He is so powerful that even the masters of Wuguan Street can't beat him, so I specially brought him to discuss with you."
"Oh, so awesome, all the masters were defeated?" Ye Wen was also curious. He was also a martial artist at heart, so how could he not be interested in Kong Ling?
Kong Ling stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Hello Master Ye, my name is Kong Ling. In fact, I rely on my natural strength to win. In terms of martial arts, I will definitely not be able to beat the masters of the martial arts school."
After Ip Man opened the yard gate, he looked at Kong Ling and saw that his body was not that strong, and his strength was so great that all Foshan masters could not beat him. He was also curious and wanted to try it out if he was itchy.
But before coming in, I walked up to my wife and smiled, "Let's just have fun."
Zhang Yongcheng was a little unhappy, but Ip Man loved martial arts very much. Besides, she was all acquaintances, so she didn't say anything, and taught her children to draw on her own.
Seeing that his wife did not object, Ip Man took the two of them to the empty place next to him and said, "Come and try how strong you are."
Kong Ling nodded and rushed up in one step, without any complicated moves. A simple punch was astonishingly fast. Ip Man's eyes showed a look of surprise and he quickly grabbed his wrist with both hands. At this time, he felt that the force on Kong Ling's arm was indeed amazing. He could not forcefully change the direction of the fist and drive the force of the fist away. He could only turn his body and avoid it, and at the same time, his elbow hit Kong Ling's chest.
Kong Ling saw it, but his right fist was grabbed by Ip Man. It was impossible to avoid it. He was forced to hit the chest by him, which made him feel chest tightness, but fortunately it didn't hurt much. He immediately grabbed Ip Man's shoulder and lifted him up and threw him to the side.
Ip Man directly clamped his neck with his feet and grabbed his wrist with both hands. He hung his whole body, but Kong Ling could not throw it out, and his neck was so uncomfortable that he was clamped by his feet.
He took a deep breath, grabbed Ip Man's ankle with his left hand and wanted to smash it to the ground. At this time, Ip Man turned over and kicked Kong Ling's chest with both feet, kicking him backwards, and almost fell down due to unstable force.
After landing smoothly, Ip Man nodded and said, "It's true that you have a lot of strength, but you haven't been in contact with martial arts for a long time. If you get guidance from famous teachers and practice for a few years, I will definitely not be able to beat you."
Ip Man said it was plain, but he also longed to meet masters. This is a common problem for martial arts practitioners. Seeing how a good seedling is, he really has the heart to attract disciples. After all, everyone hopes that a disciple will carry forward his boxing skills, but after seeing his wife, he can only give up. It is not enough to teach his disciples for a while. He values this family.
"Kong Ling, you are very strong and your speed is faster than ordinary people. You are strong. I just kicked you, and you didn't feel discomfort. These conditions can only give you a great advantage over others. However, if you really want to learn martial arts, you still have to practice basic skills. It is not difficult to practice martial arts moves. Everyone can do it, but if you can practice solid foundations, not everyone can do it. The hard work and boredom in them are unbearable to ordinary people." After I said that, Ip Man walked to his wife and did not take action.
Wu Chi Lin understood what I am saying, and pulled Kong Ling to Zhang Yongcheng and bowed and said, "Sister-in-law is disturbing, let's go first."
Zhang Yongcheng nodded. Wu Chi Lin often came to Ip Man to discuss it. She was used to it, and Wu Chi Lin also knew how to be sensible, so she was quite acceptable.
After the two left, Wu Chilin asked, "How is it, it's amazing."
"It's really amazing. When I fight him, I feel that my strength has no place to use. I originally thought that I didn't need to practice basic skills. Now it seems that I underestimate martial arts." Kong Ling spread his hands and said.
"Of course, you can't underestimate it. Chinese martial arts are so good. Go back and practice hard. Brother Ye said that you can surpass him. Maybe you can really do it. When you go back and practice with me, although I can't beat Brother Ye, I have worshipped many masters and know a lot." Wu Chi Lin said with a slap in his chest.
After this time, Kong Ling realized that kung fu is not just about strength, so he decided to go back and practice the basic skills well. As for moves, he had long remembered that with this martial arts fanatic, he practiced very quickly.
Soon 10 months passed, and Kong Ling practiced in the yard with his strong physique even in winter with his bare arms. During the day, he helped the restaurant work, and he did heavy physical work. He picked up water directly with a large water tank, and held the bucket straight with his arms and grabbed the bucket all the way to the restaurant. The axe used to chop firewood was a special giant axe, weighing 100 kilograms, and it was not Kaifeng. He relied on his own strength to chop firewood. This kind of training method has become a scenic spot in the restaurant, which is very famous in Foshan.
Wu Chilin wanted to learn from him like this, but he couldn't hold on for a day. This thing was too heavy and most people couldn't bear it. Only Kong Ling's perverted body could do this.
He learned this method of training from other kung fu movies. He trained himself in life. At night, he squatted on a wooden stake with Wu Chi Lin. Kong Ling also hung a bucket full of water on his waist. This amazing method made Wu Chi Lin admire him and directly gave the name Wu Chi to Kong Ling.
During this period, Ip Man also heard about it. He personally saw Kong Ling's training method. After seeing it, he praised it very much. He couldn't tell in person that Kong Ling would become his biggest opponent. Even Ip Man is looking forward to fighting Kong Ling.
In March 1938, Kong Ling had been here for a year. After a year of hard training, he felt that his control of his body, strength, and speed were completely different. At that time, Kong Ling was sure that he was fighting with himself a year ago. He promised that he could defeat himself in the past ten moves.
After a year of hard training, he truly realized the importance of basic skills. On that day, he still carried two barrels of large iron barrels half a person high and one meter wide in both hands, and specially carried water from the farthest mountain spring water to the restaurant. Because the water there was good, the restaurant's food was better and the business became more and more popular.
For this reason, Wu Chilin gave him double the salary. After all, Kong Ling took all the heavy physical work in the kitchen alone, and the water he picked was the best, which was much better than the well water dug beside him.
When he passed by Wuguan Street, the Hongjia Boxing master of the martial arts hall shouted: "Kong Ling, your bucket has been replaced again. Good boy, your arm strength is strong enough. Remember to practice my Hongjia Boxing well. You will definitely be one of the few masters in Foshan in the future."
"Hello Master Hong, don't worry, I remember everything you taught. I haven't missed Hong Family Fist. I have the opportunity to ask you to discuss it." Kong Ling said with a smile.
"Forget it, my body can't stand your strength. If you have time, please come to your brothers to practice." Master Hong was not afraid of being embarrassed and smiled generously.
The disciple who was practicing boxing in front of him shouted unconvincedly: "Master, you can't do this. We can't stand Senior Brother Kong's fist. He picked up the 100-pound stone lock in the yard with one hand, and we couldn't play with both hands. And it's not easy to play with Brother Kong's bucket. "
