Chapter 803 Fight Between Dragon and Tiger?

It was the third day of the competition, but the sky was still not clear, and the rain became heavier.

A large number of tents were erected in front of the ancestral temple, and many people held umbrellas to watch the competition.

There were very few participants today, and most of the warriors had been eliminated. Only 50 people were left in the finals, of which three were Su Yi's disciples.

Among the 50 people, there were 34 northern warriors and only 16 southern warriors.

In this way, even if all the southern warriors qualified, the total number of the southern warrior delegation would only be 21. What's more, this is impossible.

In this selection, the southern martial arts world has actually been defeated.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the atmosphere of today's competition was no longer as hot and enthusiastic as the previous two days, but rather seemed very solemn and depressing.

Whether it was the southern warriors participating in the competition or the southern people watching the game, they all presented a tragic atmosphere.

The army of mourning will win?

In the stands, these four words suddenly popped up in Su Yi's mind.

Maybe, but compared to the southern warriors who want to fight for dignity, the northern warriors are just as eager to win.

There is no doubt that the Wan Guo Fighting Competition will be a world-renowned competition that will surely attract the attention of the world.

How many times can a warrior have the opportunity to participate in such a competition in his life?

Maybe just this time.

So who would not give it a try if they have some pursuits and are unwilling to be lonely?

Who will win and who will lose can only be determined on the ring.

Due to the rain and because there were only 50 people left, the original ten rings were reduced to only two.

One in the north and one in the south.

As the referee called out the names, the northern and southern champions took the stage to greet their opponents.

Perhaps they all knew that their chances were limited, so the players played very cautiously, resulting in a long and dull competition.

The first round of two games lasted nearly ten minutes before they ended. The north and south won one game each, two were eliminated, one qualified, and one still had hope and faced the last life-and-death battle.

The one who qualified was a northern warrior.

In the second round, two northern warriors qualified and two southern warriors were eliminated.

In the third round, one warrior from each of the north and south qualified...

At the end of the game, there were not enough southern warriors, and the northern warriors fell into a "civil war".

After two and a half hours, all the games were over.

The final result was that 34 people from the north qualified and 16 people from the south qualified. Including Su Yi and Ip Man, there were a total of 52 people.

In fact, there were still eight people short of 60 places, but the rules are the rules. According to the rules, only these 52 people were qualified to represent China.

The number of warriors who qualified in the south was less than half of the northern warriors, which was naturally a great loss of face.

It can be expected that the great advantage of the north's victory made Gong Baosen completely establish the right to speak on the issue of the spread of southern boxing to the north and the integration of the north and the south.

Since the quota of 60 contestants was not full, many people from top to bottom came to Gong Baosen to plead, either to put people directly into the delegation, or to ask Gong Baosen to give the remaining people another chance, and to have another round of selection to select eight people.

But these requests were all rejected by Gong Baosen for the same reason without exception.

"According to the rules of the competition, each contestant is actually allowed to have two chances to fail. One is before becoming the champion, and the other is after becoming the champion. They were given two chances to lose, but they still failed to advance, which shows that their martial arts are problematic. What's the point of adding such problematic people to the delegation except to lower our China's winning rate? Will it look good if we lose eight more games at that time?"

Gong Baosen refused to listen, so in the end, the number of people representing China was fixed at 52.

Although the quota for the selection was full, the competition was not over yet.

On the afternoon of the third day of the competition, there will be another highlight - Tianjin hero Geng Liangchen vs Foshan Wing Chun Ip Man!

This fight is described by people as a fight between dragons and tigers!

The great reputation of the Tianjin hero is self-evident, not to mention that he is the champion of the National Martial Arts Elite Competition with great value. No one doubts his strength.

As the senior brother of the Tianjin hero Geng Liangchen, Ip Man is a genuine Wing Chun descendant and a representative of masters who have been respected by the southern martial arts world. Naturally, he should not be underestimated.

The northerners naturally support the Tianjin hero and will not think that the unknown Ip Man will be the opponent of the dignified Tianjin hero.

But for the southerners, Ip Man has been regarded as the last fig leaf of the southern martial arts world.

In the selection competition between the northern and southern martial arts worlds, the southern martial artists were defeated at their doorstep. If Su Yi had not shown mercy, they would have been even worse.

But if Ip Man can now defeat the signboard of the northern martial arts world, then all the face lost by the southern martial arts world before can be regained.

Before the match at noon, the famous martial artists from various southern schools called Ye Wen and conducted a pre-match intensive training for him. It was mainly aimed at Su Yi's mixed martial arts.

Su Yi's fifteen disciples had performed brilliantly in the previous matches. If it weren't for the facts, no one would believe that most of these people were martial arts laymen who knew nothing half a year ago.

Such dazzling results will naturally attract thousands of eyes.

Their every move, every move, will be magnified and studied by the audience.

These famous martial arts masters and seniors in the south have very unique and precise visions in martial arts. They all have their own understanding and knowledge of Su Yi's mixed martial arts, and they all agree that it is an extremely advanced and brilliant form of martial arts. Martial arts philosophy.

In order to increase the probability of Ip Man winning, these senior celebrities decided to explain all their unique insights into mixed martial arts to Ip Man.

But the more Ye Wen listened, the weirder his expression became, and he stopped talking several times.

"Ip Man, we teach you with our heart, why aren't we serious? Do you want to say something? Say what you want to say now!" Uncle Deng, who was explaining to him, stopped and couldn't help but said in displeasure.

Ye Wen hurriedly apologized and said: "Uncle Deng, it's not that I didn't listen carefully, it's just that I feel a little emotional in my heart."

"What are you feeling?"

"Actually, Geng Liangchen and I met in front of my house last night." Ye asked. "He came to deliver a letter to me on behalf of my senior brother. I invited him to my home, perhaps to avoid suspicion, but he refused me. But We chatted for a while in front of the house, and it was all about his mixed martial arts.”

At this point, Ye Wen said apologetically to Uncle Deng and the two seniors who had already shared his "insights": "To be honest, Geng Liangchen didn't hide anything at all and taught him the core principles of mixed martial arts. , how he performs his martial arts, how he exerts his force, what his advantages and disadvantages are... As the founder of this martial arts, he made no secret of it from me."

All the senior celebrities in the south looked at each other in disbelief, and many even had disbelief written on their faces.

This is unbelievable to them. The core principles and tricks of each martial arts are secrets that are not passed down. They are the foundation of a sect and the key to its inheritance.

You can't even tell outsiders about these things!

Throughout the ages, in the martial arts world, many people have sacrificed their lives and blood in order to preserve the core inheritance of their own martial arts, and have performed many touching stories.

But what happened to you, Geng Liangchen?

Do you tell others about your martial arts skills that you have worked so hard to achieve so easily?

Don’t you think about your descendants? Don't you leave them something to pass on?

What a loser...

"Master Ye, it seems that your junior brother really regards you as one of his own, otherwise why would he even tell you such a thing?" Someone said with a smile, his eyes full of suspicion.

Ye Wen couldn't help but sigh: "He not only told me, he said that his martial arts has no secrets and anyone can learn it. You should have seen it in the newspapers about him opening a martial arts school in the north? He told I wish everyone in China could master his martial arts."

"Not a small ambition!" Another person sneered, "Isn't he afraid that others will learn his martial arts and then defeat him?"

"I also asked him this question." Ye Wen said calmly, "He said that if there is someone who can outperform others, he will only be happy, because it proves that this martial arts has great potential and great potential."

These words shocked the hearts of all the warriors present.

Many people were impressed by Geng Liangchen's broad mind.

This includes Rong Canghai, a dark horse who has suddenly emerged among the southern warriors.

"As expected of a hero from Jinmen! This kind of person is not a hero. Who is a hero?" He couldn't help but say with admiration.

Many people nodded in deep agreement.

But some people still disagree.

"This is not a hero, he is a fool!" Someone sneered, full of disdain. "Things are rare and valuable. When his martial arts is spread on the street, he will cry! If his martial arts is learned by bad people and he does evil, all the retribution will fall on his head! Humph, if he is If foreigners learn his martial arts and fight against Chinese people, what will I say to them?"

"Aren't there two foreigners among the disciples Geng Liangchen brought this time?" Another person answered, "As the saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different hearts. Geng Liangchen is still young after all. Even such a simple truth Don’t even understand.”

"He is ignorant, and the old man is ignorant too? What do Gong Baosen and the others do for a living? Are they just watching Geng Liangchen misbehave?"

"Ahem!" Master Dong, one of the respected three elders, coughed twice, interrupted the straying topic, and said: "The north has its own way of playing, and the south has its own way of playing. Northerners don't care about things we don't understand. This is called "martial arts exchange"; something we take for granted, but northerners think we are "closed and conservative". We are all obsessed with who is right and who is wrong. Whoever plays in his own way depends on whether the east wind can overwhelm the west wind. "

The old man looked at the problem sharply and pointed to the essence, which convinced everyone and made everyone quiet down thoughtfully.

"Ye Wen, in the afternoon competition, you just need to do your best. There is no need to put too much pressure on you." Mr. Dong said to Ye Wen, "If you win, you will bring glory to the entire south; if you lose, it doesn't matter. The face of the southern martial arts community is not yours." What one person loses is what each of us loses. Let us crows, don’t laugh at sows, just bear with it.”

One word sets the tone.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Wen and Su Yi stood on the stage under the gaze of everyone.

The two smiled at each other and held each other's fists.

Under the stage, all the participating warriors from the North and the South were present, and many local people from Foshan were watching. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, completely surrounding the place.

The rain continued to fall, but it could not dampen people's enthusiasm for this competition.

"Wing Chun Ip Man, vs. Mixed Martial Arts, Geng Liangchen!" the referee yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice breaking.

"start!"

With the word "start", everyone almost subconsciously held their breath and stared at the ring.

Geng Liangchen and Ye Wen, who is stronger?

Will the face of the southern martial arts be saved or completely lost?

The result will be known soon!

For the southern people, this is also the first time they have seen the Jinmen hero in person.

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true.

No matter how well-known the name of the Jinmen hero is, he is thousands of miles away. Who knows what's going on?

But Ye Wen's record and skills are real and everyone can see them.

So they are also looking forward to or doubting whether the Jinmen hero is just a name for nothing?

Under the expectation of everyone, the scene fell into absolute silence for a while.

Except for the sound of rain, it seemed that there was no noise in the world.

So Su Yi's voice was heard by everyone present.

"This is not a fair game." Su Yi said to Ye Wen with some emotion.

Ye Wen was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Su Yi said lightly: "Because the current Senior Brother Ye can never be my opponent."

Su Yi said it very lightly, as if stating a well-known common sense.

But Ye Wen raised his eyebrows and said: "Junior Brother Geng, how can we know who will win or lose if we don't fight? Whether we are opponents or not, let's see the truth with fists and feet."

Su Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture: "Senior Brother Ye, please."

"I am the elder brother, you are the younger brother, I will let you have one move." Ye Wen asked.

He was also arrogant. Before the two of them started fighting, Su Yi said that he was not an opponent. How could Ye Wen, who was always confident in his martial arts, feel comfortable?

So he simply "tit for tat" and proposed to let Su Yi have one move.

Why one move, not three moves?

Because he didn't dare...

Letting Su Yi have one move is a meaning, if you let Su Yi have three moves, it would be arrogant.

His wife Zhang Yongcheng often told him that men over the age of 40 should do things that they are sure of.

If he let Su Yi have three moves, he would not be sure of winning.

But Su Yi quickly told him with facts that he was overthinking about the three moves.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Facing Ip Man's "arrogance", Su Yi smiled and did not refuse.

Suddenly, he raised his palm as a knife and stabbed Ip Man in the middle, opening the prelude of this battle.

This move is called "the immortal pointing the way", which is a very polite and courteous way for both sides of the fight to open the fight, implying respect for the opponent.

This move is usually a test, or more precisely, a greeting, meaning that the fight has begun, and it has no substantial use.

Ip Man said that he would give in a move, so Su Yi made a meaningless move, meaning that he understood the good intention.

But when using this move "the immortal pointing the way", you must remember to hold your palm upright with the palm facing inward; if it is horizontal, with the palm facing up or down, then this move is not called "the immortal pointing the way", but "the pawn scolding the battle", which means insulting and looking down on the opponent.
