"Snake-like!"
"Leopard form!"
"Damn it, senior brother, you tricked me again."
Pork Rong's actions were swift and fierce, leaving Li Boyang with several more bruises.
"Among the five forms of Hung Kuen, the tiger resembles the strength of descending the mountain and emerging from the forest, the crane resembles the intention of resting on the branch and pecking at food, the dragon resembles the sight of emerging from the clouds and soaring, the snake resembles the form of walking quickly on the grass, and the monkey resembles the posture of climbing the tree to pick up something."
"Alright, that's enough for today. Baozhilin is about to have guests, let's hurry over."
Pork Rong made a gesture of retracting his fist and exhaling, and said with a forced smile.
In the first film about Wong Fei-hung, Wong Fei-hung only had three disciples.
The eldest disciple, Lam Sai-wing, is temporarily the only successor of Wong Fei-hung's martial arts. Before becoming a disciple, he made a living selling pork, and everyone was used to calling him Pork Wing. Pork Wing usually liked to stand up for the weak and was impulsive and self-righteous, often getting himself into embarrassing situations.
The second disciple, Lin Su, had studied abroad and knew some Western medicine. He became Huang Feihong's disciple mainly to learn his medical skills and did not know martial arts.
In the movie, Wong Fei-hung actually had another disciple, Leung Foon. However, Leung Foon had not yet gone to the city to formally become a disciple, so he could not be considered Wong Fei-hung's disciple.
Since Liang Kuan has not yet joined the sect, while Li Boyang has already become Huang Feihong's disciple, even if Liang Kuan joins the sect later, he can only become the fourth junior brother, while Li Boyang becomes Huang Feihong's third disciple.
Wong Fei-hung rarely personally taught the apprentices at Po Chi Lam Martial Arts School. Usually, it was Porky Wing and other senior members of the school who provided guidance. Moreover, he only taught them some basic fist and foot techniques and methods for strengthening the skin and muscles. This was sufficient for the apprentices. Only true disciples would be taught more advanced content.
That's actually normal. No matter how powerful Wong Fei-hung is, he's only one person, and he can't possibly have that much energy to take care of everyone.
However, as the teacher of Pork Wing and Li Boyang, Wong Fei-hung would check on their progress every three days and then give them targeted guidance. If his disciples had any questions, they could ask him directly, which was a right reserved for his direct disciples.
A teacher is one who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.
Although Li Boyang had a foundation in martial arts, Huang Feihong discovered many problems after observing him for a period of time.
Firstly, there's the fighting style. Before becoming an apprentice, Li Boyang could be said to have only practiced but never fought. He had immense strength but lacked the skills to generate power and the perception for combat. When fighting, he relied on his eyes to judge rather than his senses.
Then there's the lack of courage, which, to put it bluntly, means being cowardly and hesitant in fights. Moreover, if the opponent is stronger than him, his first thought is to run away. This can be said to be a common problem among modern people.
The next point is a lack of understanding of the human body, which is very important. After training the skin and muscles, training the bones requires using one's own strength to impact the acupoints of the body, and then gently distributing the strength into the bones to achieve the effect of bone training.
To address the issue of insufficient courage, Wong Fei-hung advised Li Bo-yang to spar more with Pork Wing. He believed that the more he fought, the more courage he would gradually gain, which led to the scene just now. Obviously, this was not the first time such a scene had occurred.
Obviously, the one who gets beaten up is not happy while the one who gets beaten up is. Li Boyang lowered his head and was dragged into Baozhilin by Zhu Rourong, looking dejected.
"Come here, let me loosen your bones."
Huang Feihong glanced at Li Boyang and told him to lie down in front of him.
"Pay attention to the acupoints I'm pressing."
"This is the Divine Court."
"This is the Tanzhong acupoint."
"Qi Hai" (a point on the body's energy center).
"Taiyuan".
"Yongquan" (涌泉).
Huang Feihong patted, rubbed, or punched Li Boyang's back with both hands. With each change of his hands, the meaning of the five forms of Hung Kuen was unpredictable, like a butterfly fluttering in the air.
With each clap of Huang Feihong's hands, Li Boyang felt a surge of energy pass directly through his skin, seeping into his bone marrow through his pores, causing a tingling, incredibly pleasurable sensation throughout his body.
"Master, it feels like the force you're using goes straight through my skin and into my bones."
"I use hidden strength. There are countless ways to fight, but they all boil down to the application of human energy. The application of energy has three levels: obvious, hidden, and transformative."
After a hundred or so strikes, the internal force was controlled to the point of regulating the bone marrow without causing injury. Even with Huang Feihong's physical strength, he was a little overwhelmed, and his face turned pale. He took a breath and said.
"Ming Jin refers to the hard power of the fist. It corresponds to the level of training the skin and membranes, training the strength of the whole body, and then concentrating it. When a punch is thrown out, the air explodes with a tremendous force, which is what is known as 'a sound that is priceless.'"
"Hidden strength is the soft strength in boxing. It corresponds to the degree of bone marrow training. It trains the strength to the main spine of the human body. When the fist moves, the power is suddenly mobilized through the spine and then released through the pores of the skin."
"The one who has mastered the skill of transformation is one in which Yin and Yang are in harmony, and hardness and softness are completely transformed. This corresponds to the level of training the five internal organs. At this stage, the body can sense the force even before it is applied to the body, and the movements of the fist are accompanied by changes in one's own spirit. This is the stage that Master is currently at."
"As for the Transformation Realm, I wonder when I'll be able to reach that level."
After Huang Feihong used his internal strength to loosen Li Boyang's bones and muscles, Li Boyang felt all the pain disappear.
"To reach the level of Huajin Guang, diligence is not enough; more importantly, one must seize the opportunity. Not long ago, I saw the warships of the great powers swaggering in front of our country's gates, and I felt a surge of resentment that I could not vent. I broke through in a fight with the foreign devils. My fists, Huang Feihong's fists, are for external use, not internal use."
"Alright, now you'll assist me and carefully observe how I treat patients. You also need to keep up with those medical books."
Learning medicine was also a requirement Huang Feihong placed on Li Boyang. Many martial arts masters are usually also good at medicine. In fact, medicine and martial arts are interconnected. To practice martial arts well, one must have a good understanding of the human body in order to slowly stimulate the body with energy and strengthen oneself.
Those who practice martial arts must also have a clear understanding of pharmacology and be familiar with the interactions and incompatibilities between medicinal properties. Otherwise, they will be unable to benefit from medicinal diets and baths. If they haphazardly combine tonics, they will be lucky to avoid poisoning themselves, let alone strengthening their bodies.

Chapter 7: Aunt Thirteen Appears
Time passed day by day.
Li Boyang thus lived a life of both pain and joy at Baozhilin.
Every morning, he would practice Huang Feihong's five forms of Hung Kuen, then endure a beating from Porky Wing, followed by Huang Feihong helping him loosen his bones, then studying medical books, and Huang Feihong would lend a hand when needed.
