Chapter 318 Martial Arts Code
The decline of martial arts in this world is due not only to human factors, but also to the inherent nature of heaven and earth itself.
If a world does not have strong individuals to support it, it will slowly enter the Dharma-ending Age. After the Dharma-ending Age, the world's resources will be depleted, its origin will be exhausted, and the world will return to chaos.
Some powerful beings from certain worlds go to the upper realm and cultivate to a certain level. If they are able to descend to the lower realm, they will return to their original world and give back to their original world.
Zhou Yongcheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Ip Man.
Ip Man was teaching martial arts to others. He came to Hong Kong and was struggling financially, so he had to teach martial arts to make a living by charging tuition fees.
Ip Man was very talented in martial arts. In this degenerate age, he learned some basic moves and was able to master martial arts to such a high level, which is truly remarkable.
Since Ip Man has great martial arts talent, if we pass on the complete martial arts manual from ancient times to him, could he become the new generation's martial arts ancestor? We can wait and see.
Zhou Yongcheng compiled the martial arts manual edited by the Yellow Emperor and casually flipped through it.
He discovered a problem: the martial arts manual compiled by the Yellow Emperor was not suitable for this era.
After all, this era is the end of the Dharma, and there is no longer any suitable energy in the world for cultivating martial arts.
After closing the martial arts manual, Zhou Yongcheng looked out into the cosmic void of this world.
Although the energy suitable for martial arts cultivation in this era has been exhausted, there are many different kinds of energy in the void of the universe. If martial arts were rewritten and people were allowed to absorb these different kinds of energy for cultivation, this idea would be very good.
A thought flashed through Zhou Yongcheng's mind, and the new martial arts manual took shape.
The new martial arts manual differs from the original manual only in the breathing method; all other martial arts techniques, martial arts supernatural abilities, and spells are the same, and Zhou Yongcheng made no changes.
Zhou Yongcheng implanted the new martial arts manual into Ip Man's mind to see how far he could go in cultivating it.
On the rooftop, Ip Man was instructing his disciple on movements, while a book appeared in his mind.
This left Ip Man quite bewildered; he had a book in his mind.
He wondered if he was hallucinating, because he could see the book whenever he closed his eyes.
He kept opening and closing his eyes, and there was indeed a book in his mind, with a name on it: Martial Canon.
Ip Man sent his martial arts disciples home, then sat on the rooftop with his eyes closed, studying the martial arts manual in his mind.
Flipping through the martial arts manual is very simple; with a thought, the book automatically turns the pages.
Ip Man read a few pages, but couldn't turn the page anymore.
The few pages I read were about the Body Tempering Realm, which is divided into three stages.
The first step is body training, which can be done through breathing techniques combined with various exercises, or through secret medicines.
If you train your body using breathing techniques combined with exercises, the progress will be slower. However, if you train your body using secret medicines, the progress will be much faster.
Looking at the various medicinal herbs on the secret medicine, Ip Man felt that it would be more practical to use breathing techniques and martial arts to strengthen his body.
The secret medicine is far beyond the reach of ordinary people; the cost of purchasing the ingredients is exceptionally high.
Ip Man can't even afford to eat now, let alone buy medicinal herbs to practice his martial arts.
Ip Man obtained the martial arts manual and taught his disciples Wing Chun while also practicing the manual himself.
Although Ip Man obtained the martial arts manual, the plot still developed as originally planned.
If Ip Man wanted to open a martial arts school in Hong Kong, he had to pass the tests of masters from various martial arts schools in Hong Kong. Only after passing the tests could he open the school. If he failed, sorry, the school could not be opened.
In the past, Ip Man might have been a little unsure, but now that he has obtained the Martial Arts Manual and practiced the techniques within it, he can now fight at least ten of his former selves.
During his Martial Arts Body Tempering Realm training, Ip Man chose a martial art called Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.
The martial arts manual lists three minor realms for the Body Tempering Realm, each with its own unique techniques, breathing methods, and secret elixirs.
There are no fewer than dozens of cultivation methods for the Body Tempering Realm, and Ip Man chose the one he thought was suitable for him to practice.
After practicing the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist for a period of time, Ip Man's strength and physical strength gradually increased day by day.
Having cultivated for so long, Ip Man knew he was strong, but he didn't know just how strong he was. Now that someone wanted to test him, he had to properly demonstrate the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist that he had cultivated for so long.
In a spacious room, many martial arts masters from Hong Kong gathered together, chatting as they talked.
"Master Hong, does that Ip Man use hand techniques or leg techniques?" a martial arts master asked Hong Zhennan.
Hong Zhennan said with a smile, "It's hand skills."
Hong Zhennan had fought with Ip Man and felt that Ip Man was not simple. He wanted to befriend Ip Man, a person with great kung fu skills. If he could befriend Ip Man, he should befriend him; if not, he should not be an enemy.
"So you're saying he doesn't have any leg skills?"
"Not necessarily. What if they have kung fu skills in both hands and legs?"
"Those who come from the mainland to Hong Kong to beg for food can't be very skilled in kung fu."
Many martial arts masters felt that Ip Man's kung fu was probably not very good, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Hong Kong to beg for a living.
People with great kung fu skills live a life of luxury wherever they are, so they certainly wouldn't leave their hometown to open a martial arts school here.
As they were talking, Ip Man was led in from outside.
Ip Man scanned the room and saw the many martial arts masters inside. He was immediately disappointed. These martial arts masters weren't very strong. He felt that these martial arts masters were not as powerful as he was before he started practicing martial arts manuals.
Not to mention that he practiced the techniques from the martial arts manual.
Although Ip Man knew they weren't very skilled, he still had to be polite.
Ip Man clasped his hands in greeting to the many martial arts masters.
"Greetings, masters. I am Ip Man."
Everyone makes a living through kung fu, so they all responded to Ip Man's greetings.
Upon seeing Ip Man's arrival, Hung Chun-nam introduced him to many martial arts masters.
After the introductions were finished, one of the martial arts instructors seemed eager to end the test quickly, so he lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped onto a stool in the middle of the room.
The many stools in the middle of the room were placed there intentionally, to test Ip Man.
"Master Ip, please." The martial arts master, who was jumping on a stool, gestured for Ip Man to come up and accept the challenge.
Hong Zhennan said from the side, "Master Ye, our rule is that as long as you are not knocked down within a certain time or the other master is knocked down by you, you have passed the test."
Ip Man nodded, bent his knees slightly, and with a burst of strength, jumped onto a stool.
Both sides took their positions, and the test began, with the opposing martial arts master making the first move.
Ip Man stood with his hands behind his back, motionless.
The martial arts master from the opposing school kicked at Ip Man's chest, but Ip Man did not respond.
Everyone thought Ip Man would be kicked off the stool, but to everyone's surprise, Ip Man caught the other person's foot with one hand, and then with a forceful throw, he threw the other person off, right back in the seat where he had been sitting.
Ip Man didn't use too much force, otherwise his opponent's foot would definitely have been crippled.
Everyone was shocked by Ip Man's actions. Was Ip Man some kind of superhuman?
He lifted a person weighing over 100 pounds with ease and tossed him onto the seat. He was not only a strongman, but he also had a very precise control over his strength.
The martial arts master was thrown back into his seat by Ip Man, the force of which was perfectly controlled, neither too much nor too little, and handled with great precision.
"I wonder if there are any other masters who would like to test me?" Ip Man looked at the many martial arts masters sitting there.
None of the martial arts instructors responded.
Seeing this, Hong Zhennan smiled and said, "Since no master tested Master Ye, then Master Ye has passed the test and can open a school in Hong Kong to take on apprentices in the future."
