Chapter 1752 1754 [National Martial Arts Competition]
?After Xiang Nan agreed to stay in the martial arts team, the three coaches Wu Bin, Wang Jinsheng, and Li Junfeng all treated him as if they were their darlings.
Because a master is rare, and a good apprentice is even rarer. If a unique skill wants to be carried forward, it must find a good successor.
A martial arts prodigy like Xiang Nan started practicing martial arts at the age of five and was able to defeat a master like Wu Bin at the age of eleven. His talent is simply astonishing. Who wouldn''t be happy to accept such a good apprentice who is rare in a century?
?Therefore, Wu Bin, Wang Jinsheng, and Li Junfeng all took him very seriously and taught him all their best skills.
? And Xiang Nan is indeed a martial arts wizard. He has a good memory and good coordination of his limbs, so his learning ability is very strong. A routine can be remembered after just reading it once. You can get started after practicing it twice.
?Just like Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you can master any martial arts after learning it once, and you can master it after learning it twice.
? Such talent amazed all three coaches. In less than half a year, Xiang Nan had mastered all the routines the three coaches knew.
I learned Bajiquan, Bagua Zhang, Tongjiquan, Mantis Fist, Piguaquan, one-handed sword, two-handed sword, one-handed sword, two-handed sword, nunchucks, nine-section whip and other instruments one after another.
In January 1970, Yanjing held a national martial arts competition.
Xiang Nan, as the true chief disciple of Shichahai Sports School, naturally signed up for the competition and signed up for a total of eight competitions. They are boxing, swordsmanship, knife skills, stick skills, spear skills, optional boxing skills, optional swordsmanship, and sparring events.
…
"Old Wu, is it possible for your disciple to register for eight events at once?" Other sports schools couldn''t help but be surprised when they saw Xiang Nan registering for so many events.
"We''ll see. My apprentice, despite his young age, is a martial arts prodigy. I dare say that no one in China can compare with him." Wu Bin said with a smile.
"That''s a big statement. Is your apprentice that good?" Hearing his crazy words, many coaches disagreed.
There is a population of 700 million in China, but no one can compare with his apprentice. This is really a big statement.
“If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.” Wu Bin said with a smile, but he had full confidence in Xiang Nan.
Because he is not only talented, but he also trains very hard. It''s really like practicing in the winter, practicing in the summer, rain or shine, and mastering all kinds of routines incisively and vividly. To be honest, he is just better than these coaches.
What''s more, Xiang Nan still has real skills. That punch was enough to crack the monument and crack the stone. This trick alone cannot be matched by others.
…
?On January 15th, the National Wushu Competition officially kicked off in Yanjing.
The competition on the first day was all about boxing routines. The rules of the competition are actually the same as those of rhythmic gymnastics. Whoever performs the same set of martial arts moves most beautifully will be the champion.
Xiang Nan was twelve years old and began to develop for the second time.
Because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, plus practicing internal skills, and the five internal organs are in harmony, his physical development is much better than that of ordinary children. Only twelve years old, he is already 1.65 meters tall, with a slender body and more stretched limbs.
Furthermore, after successfully practicing martial arts, their energy and energy are much stronger than those of ordinary children. In particular, his two eyes are jet black and shiny, and he looks smart at first glance, so his impression score is good.
He is well versed in all the routines, and every move is correct. In addition, Xiang Nan is also considered a master, and his understanding of martial arts is far beyond that of his peers, and even much better than those coaches.
Therefore, even if it is a flowery fist and embroidered leg, when he comes, it will be like flowing clouds and flowing water, completely natural. Therefore, all the judges could find no faults, gave the highest score, and easily won the championship.
??In the subsequent swordsmanship, swordsmanship, sticksmanship, and spearmanship competitions, Xiang Nan also passed all the competitions and won the championship trophies.
?This also surprised other players and coaches.
"Old Wu, how many years have you been hiding as a disciple? What a good fellow, you can only make a sound if you don''t make a sound." Other coaches asked curiously.
“Let me tell you, this apprentice of mine has only been studying martial arts for half a year.” Wu Bin said with a smile.
"Impossible, impossible. If you can master a routine in half a year, you are already considered smart." When the other coaches heard this, they waved their hands and said, "No matter how genius you are, you will not master boxing and sword skills after practicing martial arts for half a year. , swordsmanship, stick skills, spear skills, you think your apprentice is Zhang Sanfeng."
? Zhang Sanfeng is the master of Neijiaquan. Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Baguazhang and many other boxing techniques all have Zhang Sanfeng as the founder.
"I''m not telling lies. I don''t believe there are files. Go check it out yourself." Wu Bin said with a smile, "If my apprentice were to be placed in ancient times, he would probably be no better than Zhang Sanfeng."
“Speaking big words again.” When everyone heard this, they laughed one after another.
…
After winning the championship of the designated routine, it was time to choose the boxing of your choice.
? ? Self-selected boxing skills allow players to choose the boxing skills they are best at performing. This is like floor exercise, which tests the players'' true abilities.
Xiang Nan performed Tai Chi, which he is best at. Before the competition, he asked Wu Bin to place a bluestone on the field.
?This move confused everyone.
“Old Wu, why are you putting up a bluestone slab?” Everyone asked in confusion.
“Let’s wait and see the good show.” Wu Bin said with a smile.
Immediately I saw Xiang Nan covering up his Tai Chi. As soon as his Tai Chi skills were revealed, everyone present was dazzled.
Tai Chi is the most widely spread boxing technique. Most people can put on a few semblance of tricks, such as white crane spreading its wings, wild horse parting its mane, holding sparrow''s tail, etc. Therefore, it is not easy to excel.
Just like boiling cabbage, every household can do it. If you want to stand out, your taste must be much stronger than others in order to convince everyone. And this is undoubtedly rare.
?However, as soon as Xiang Nan performed Tai Chi, everyone felt that he must be the champion. Because Xiang Nan''s Tai Chi was so beautiful, moving like running water, and the essence was natural. It felt so comfortable, and everyone here couldn''t stop nodding.
?Especially those warriors who practice Tai Chi are even more amazed. They never expected that Xiang Nan is so young but has such profound attainments in Tai Chi.
?Looking at his movements, expression, and aura, it is clear that he has acquired the samadhi of Tai Chi, which is really powerful.
At this moment, Xiang Nan struck the bluestone with a Vajra pestle and a palm. There was an explosion, and the bluestone slab, which was about an inch thick, was smashed to pieces.
“Ouch~” Seeing this scene, the audience at the scene, the referees on the referee’s bench, the players and coaches on the sidelines all screamed in surprise.
Xiang Nan immediately ended his performance and exited the competition.
Subsequently, everyone rushed into the competition field regardless of the rules of the competition.
To them, breaking stone slabs with the palm of a human hand is simply unbelievable.
??It''s true that there are people who do this kind of trick in the arena. They soaked the stone slabs in vinegar beforehand, and then burned them over a large fire. It is not obvious on the surface, but the stone is actually rotten and will break into pieces with a gentle tap, in order to deceive people.
So they had to confirm whether there was anything fishy about the slate.
