Chapter 129 - 92: Believe in Science, and Suddenly Wall-Climbing and Roof-Soaring? (Part 2)
Now she felt that it made a bit of sense.
After all, there was an example right in front of her.
Moreover, comparing the strength of these three masters from the Chen Family, they seemed to be even better than professional boxers.
A well-known professional named Li once claimed that when fighting ordinary people one by one, he could keep fighting until he was exhausted, ten people would be no problem, but if they all swarmed him, he thought he could handle three, more than that, forget it.
Then someone asked, what would happen if the opponent was alone but wielding a knife? He simply said, "Then you go ahead!"
But those dog thieves, how could they be tougher than ordinary people? The leader was even holding a dagger, yet the Chen Family masters went up and brought them down with a couple of moves.
Wu Ying didn’t dwell on the issue and continued the interview: "Masters, could you perform the ’Taiyin Long Fist’ for us?"
"Of course, that’s not a problem," Chen Lin nodded.
To be honest, it was his first time being interviewed by a reporter, and he wanted to show off a bit.
He called Chen Shuisheng and Chen Dagou over, and the three elders in red vests stood together. When the camera was pointed at them, they also posed the starting stance of the ’Taiyin Long Fist.’
Seeing this, Wu Ying thought that surely the three masters would perform the fist technique in perfect unison.
But as soon as they started, she was dumbfounded to see that the three were not in sync at all. Just after two moves, each was doing their own chaotic thing.
Chen Han covered his face at this sight.
After all, this wasn’t a performance or a movie; it was impossible for several people to perform the same motion in perfect unison.
Little Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng had never trained specifically for this.
He could only awkwardly say, "The strengths of the three uncles differ, obviously Uncle Dagou punches faster!"
With this casual remark, Wu Ying’s eyes lit up in realization: "Oh, so that’s it. Even when three people practice the same fist technique, naturally some will be stronger, some will be weaker. The stronger ones will have quicker, more forceful punches, while the weaker ones will naturally fall behind."
"I suddenly feel my perception has been overturned. Those people promoting martial arts online, with elderly, middle-aged, and children all following perfectly in sync, seem kind of odd. The elderly should definitely be the slowest, and the middle-aged men should be the fastest, after all."
"Uh..." Chen Han was stunned.
What kind of thought process did this Reporter Wu have?
He had only made up an excuse out of awkwardness, and the other party had filled in the gaps themselves?
After Chen Lin and the others finished demonstrating the ’Taiyin Long Fist’, they felt somewhat embarrassed.
They had wanted to perform more neatly, like in the movies, which would be impressive, but they hadn’t prepared or had the experience, and things got chaotic after two moves.
However, hearing his nephew’s words, Chen Lin quickly cleared his throat and said, "Dagou, you’re indeed more formidable!"
Better preserve face first.
Seeing this, Wu Ying felt more convinced her analysis was correct, and she curiously asked, "Patriarch Chen, we have a deep affection for martial arts in our country, and the three Chen Masters have proven the power of martial arts. But in our country, are there any martial arts like those in wuxia novels?"
Chen Han really wanted to say there were in video games, even the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method.
But obviously, he couldn’t say that, and in reality, there were no such martial arts.
So, he could only respond based on reality: "Reporter Wu, we must believe in science. Novels are just novels, and martial arts are not something you can master overnight. Even my Little Uncle started engaging with martial arts at the age of 7."
This was also true; in the Chen Family, children began to learn martial arts at age 7, though Little Uncle later picked up a hoe, screwdriver, saw... and so on.
Wu Ying nodded in understanding, realizing that martial arts required long-term practice and had a significant time cost. With today’s pressures, people are busy working and handling various matters, leaving no room to focus on martial training.
The imbalance between effort and payoff means martial arts are more a matter of cultural sentiment now.
With this in mind, Wu Ying turned her attention to Xiaoyu, as a web celebrity, she also deserved some screen time: "Xiaoyu, we know you practice martial arts and have filmed a lot of martial arts videos. Also, as the Patriarch Chen’s junior sister, do you have any martial arts more powerful than ’Taiyin Long Fist’?"
"Me? No, I don’t!" Xiaoyu quickly shook her head.
She learned things similar to Little Uncle, but she focused more on swordsmanship.
But she quickly added with pride: "However, Senior Brother does. He even knows Qinggong, wall-climbing, and roof-soaring!"
"Qinggong? Wall-climbing and roof-soaring?" Wu Ying immediately looked at Chen Han with amazement.
Didn’t he just say to believe in science; how did wall-climbing and roof-soaring come up?
Although thinking this, she still looked at Chen Han with full anticipation: "Patriarch Chen, could you show us?"
Even the cameraman, surprised, turned the camera to the Patriarch.
There were many Qinggong videos online.
Like stepping briefly on a basin of water, crossing over it.
Or running swiftly over a row of bent over individuals.
Swiftly crossing a floating plank bridge over water, and so on.
These varied Qinggong displays left many unimpressed, public performances often seemed foolish.
During their teenage years, many felt tougher than those stunt performers, especially those from rural backgrounds, thinking these acts were ridiculous.
The key is, there’s an abundance of such foolish Qinggong videos online, continually emerging anew.
Yet wall-climbing and roof-soaring seemed to be quite niche.
Since his junior sister boomed out his skills proudly, Chen Han could only nod.
Time to put on a little show!
Glancing at a building nearby, he swiftly stepped to the wall, took a launch upward, then with a light push from the wall under the bonus of +2 lightness attribute from his magic robe, landed directly on the second-floor ledge.
