Chapter 284: Over a Hundred People Lending a Hand!
"Actually, defeating the Splitting Hanging Palm is really easy. It must advance to increase its power, so we can do this: block its advance, preventing it from releasing its force effectively. Then, with your cooperation, it should be more than enough to handle it. The most crucial point is to react quickly—don’t let its foot probe out, don’t allow its body to accelerate. As long as you do these things, you’ll be in an unbeatable position."
"Liu Wentao, just throw one of Wei Jiawu’s moves at me, and I’ll demonstrate the counter for you all," Lin Feng pointed at Liu Wentao and motioned for him to attack himself, then he would break down the move for the students.
"Okay, Teacher Lin," Liu Wentao heard Teacher Lin say this and knew that Teacher Lin was teaching them how to counter Wei Jiawu’s techniques. He was overjoyed inside, thinking that with Teacher Lin’s guidance, they would surely be able to handle Wei Jiawu!
Without thinking too much, Liu Wentao imitated Wei Jiawu’s movements and struck at Teacher Lin with a palm, but he was surprised to find that he couldn’t step forward as he wanted because Teacher Lin’s leg was already blocking his key point. His force was halved, and he couldn’t describe how awkward and uncomfortable he felt!
"Did you all see that? The main thing is not allowing him to step forward. If his foot can’t come out, then his technique won’t work, and the power in his hand won’t be great, it won’t hurt to hit someone. Everything else becomes easy to handle after that. You can counterattack like this, like this, and like this," Lin Feng then broke down the specific techniques and explained the points of attention and how to strike back.
"Ah! So we can do it like that!"
"How did I not think of that!"
"This..."
...
The students, watching Lin Feng and Liu Wentao break down the moves and then demonstrate them, suddenly all understood what was going on. Teacher Lin’s techniques were very simple. Put plainly, it was about reacting faster, intercepting Wei Jiawu’s leg in advance, and not letting him use the power from his body. It was a bit like Jeet Kune Do, but not entirely the same. It seemed like Teacher Lin was showing a way to disrupt, just to disrupt so that the opponent couldn’t perform their moves in their usual rhythm.
The subsequent counterattack moves left the students stunned because these moves were commonly used, but paired with Teacher Lin’s footwork that disrupted the rhythm, the situation changed immediately. This was not a case of one plus one equals one, but one plus one greater than two. The combination of these techniques was simply unexpected, definitely taking the enemy by surprise. They now truly admired Teacher Lin, for coming up with such methods.
"Again! Change the move," Lin Feng saw the students had understood and then signaled to Liu Wentao to switch techniques.
"Oh," Liu Wentao, hearing Teacher Lin call for him, quickly responded. His mind hadn’t yet recovered from the last demonstration, he didn’t have time to think of anything else, and immediately got into another stance as Teacher Lin had requested.
"If the opponent uses this move, then everyone do this..." Lin Feng continued explaining the specific countermeasures, making sure the students understood clearly.
...
Half an hour went by in a flash. Lin Feng had detailed and explained Liu Wentao’s seven moves one by one until all the students understood what to do.
Teacher Lin, he’s too amazing!
How can he know so much!
All the techniques are completely deciphered.
Teacher Lin is just too...
...
How does Teacher Lin know everything... All the students raised their estimation of Teacher Lin to a new level. Previously, they knew he was a master, but they hadn’t realized he was this exceptional. The number of real combat experiences he must have had to casually produce the most perfect countermeasures is staggering. So young, yet with such formidable combat experience? If it hadn’t been seen with their own eyes, no one would believe it was true!
"The techniques I just told you about are the simplest applications integrated into Taekwondo. Now go back and practice them and you should have no problem defeating that man. I should head back to the office and check in," Lin Feng said and then walked away, leaving behind a group of students who hadn’t yet snapped out of their amazement.
When Liu Wentao and the others finally snapped back to reality, they realized Teacher Lin had already left. They quickly ran back to their original training area and began practicing what Teacher Lin had taught them, having just witnessed firsthand how effective those techniques were, fearing they might forget. They immediately took photos of the moves with a camera and continued to practice, reflecting on it...
...
Meanwhile, when Lin Feng and Liu Wentao were still in the emergency room, most members of the Taekwondo Association rushed to the Taekwondo Association and mustered everyone to go to the shores of Labor Lake to help Teacher Lin clean up. Hearing that Teacher Lin was rescuing Xiao Li and that the department head had spoken in such an unpleasant way, everyone grabbed their tools and went to clean up by the lake gladly—it was only natural for them to help Teacher Lin by putting in some hard work while he was saving Xiao Li!
So, now more than a hundred students from the Taekwondo club were mobilized, each one with a tool in hand, bustling with activity on the shore of Labor Lake, drawing the attention of many. It was still pretty cool weather, and the lake’s shore was usually deserted, so these people coming here to clean was indeed a peculiar sight!
What are they doing?
Really strange!
Why are they cleaning?
...
Every person passing by Labor Lake couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of curiosity at the sight: over a hundred students busily cleaning up the area. At Yingbo University, such labor was never expected of students, so why had these students arrived with tools in hand, and why were they so enthusiastically tidying up? What was going on? Could this be some sort of school event? But no such event had been announced, and it was only the first day of the semester—it seemed impossible.
Labor Lake itself was quite large, and since it had been largely deserted over the winter break, there wasn’t much trash, making it relatively clean. Therefore, with concerted effort from these hundred-plus students, the lake area was tidied up in less than an hour. Afterwards, the students gathered to discuss their next steps.
"We should let them know once we’re done."
"Yeah, it’ll be bad if Teacher Lin goes back and that person starts making trouble."
"Right, we can’t just leave after speaking. What if that person denies our work?"
"Exactly, we must stay. If we don’t, he might give Teacher Lin more work."
...
The students talked amongst themselves, determined not to let their department head give Teacher Lin a hard time for helping Xiao Li. They unanimously decided to wait at the office building until Teacher Lin returned so they could accompany him inside. That way, the department head wouldn’t be able to mistreat Teacher Lin or assign him more tasks. After all, Teacher Lin helped Xiao Li—how could they let him face censure!
"Let’s go!"
"Hurry up!"
"I hope Teacher Lin hasn’t gone back yet!"
...
Once they had made up their minds, the group quickly headed towards the office building, terrified that Teacher Lin would get there first and be reprimanded by the department head.
When Lin Feng returned in front of the office building, he immediately noticed the hundred-plus students waiting at the entrance, tools still in their hands. He knew they must have finished their work and were waiting for him.
"What’s all this?" he asked.
"Teacher Lin, we’ve finished the work. The students are waiting here for you to go in together. That way your leader won’t be able to say anything to you," one student, recognizing Lin Feng, hurriedly explained.
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, your leader’s been really, you know."
"We’ve been waiting here for a while."
"Let us go in with you."
...
The students didn’t want Teacher Lin to face difficulty from his leader because he had helped Xiao Li. Seeing Teacher Lin return, they all requested to go back to the department with Lin Feng so that their leader wouldn’t be able to do anything to Teacher Lin with so many witnesses present!
Lin Feng felt happy seeing the students; he certainly understood their kindness. In truth, while Zhao Jian was annoying, Lin Feng had never really been troubled by him; his so-called difficulties seemed like a joke to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had never paid Zhao Jian any real attention or respect, nor was he truly worried about a department head making trouble. However, he did not want to reject the students’ good intentions.
"All right then. Oh, and Xiao Li’s injury is no longer a concern—Liu Wentao and the others have already left." Seeing the students’ concern, Lin Feng knew they wouldn’t feel at ease unless they followed along. So, he didn’t stop them, knowing they would leave once they saw he was not in any trouble.
What, Xiao Li is alright now?
Is that really true?
It’s only been an hour; Xiao Li can walk?
...
When Lin Feng didn’t object, the students were relieved and became even more joyful upon hearing that Xiao Li was alright. It seemed Teacher Lin truly possessed medical skills, and they must be quite exceptional. Given how severely injured Xiao Li had been, having fallen unconscious not long ago, how could it be possible for him to walk again so soon? My goodness! Teacher Lin’s medical prowess was astounding—was he a teacher or a doctor?
The students from the Taekwondo Association walked behind Lin Feng towards the office building, their minds abuzz with shock. They pondered just who Teacher Lin really was, as he was truly extraordinary: not only was he a French language teacher and a Taekwondo expert, but he also now appeared to be a skilled healer who had saved Xiao Li from grave injury...
Upon their arrival inside the office building, the crowd of students finally drew the attention and curiosity of the staff from other departments, as it was unprecedented for so many students to visit at once. What were all these people here for? A relatively young staffer pulled aside a student, eager to learn what was happening.
