Chapter 1 Entering the World of Ip Man

[The Multiverse Selection System is being installed. Please wait patiently.]

Standing bewildered on the street in this unfamiliar world, a mechanical synthesized voice kept echoing in Hao Yun's mind.

"Depend on!"

This loud shout drew the attention of passersby on the street. A mother holding her child's hand warily led her child away from Hao Yun.

"He's probably crazy, let's get away from him."

Several young men in long gowns hurriedly moved away from Hao Yun, worried that the madman might go berserk and hurt them.

Hao Yun, who had just transmigrated and landed, heard the murmurs of the people around him and walked to the side of the street to squat down with a livid face.

Hao Yun is a student at a third-rate university. There are three types of college students: those who focus on studying, those who focus on dating, and those who focus on playing games.

Hao Yun belongs to the third type. He spends all his time in his dorm playing games. Today, he finally went out to class, but on the way, he encountered a floating point of light.

The light spot, about the size of a fist, hovered in mid-air and kept shrinking. This peculiar scene naturally attracted Hao Yun, and his curiosity was so great that he couldn't help but touch it.

When Hao Yun touched the light spot, it instantly contracted, expanded, and grew larger. Then, Hao Yun was absorbed and covered by the light spot in a flash, disappearing into the deserted, quiet path.

"Damn it! If I'd known I'd be time-traveling, I wouldn't have been so impulsive!"

Squatting on the street in this unfamiliar world, Hao Yun was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide.

The cold, synthesized electronic voice reappeared in his mind, and Hao Yun's spirits lifted. He knew about systems; after all, he hadn't read so many novels for nothing.

However, when the scenes from the novel happened to him, Hao Yun was still somewhat at a loss.

"System, what are you good for?"

After waiting for a long time, the synthesized electronic voice in his brain did not appear, and no matter how Hao Yun asked, there was no response.

"Fuck your mother!"

With a low curse, Hao Yun decided to figure it out himself. After some tinkering, Hao Yun finally managed to create a system interface.

[Current World: Ip Man 2 (Stay for 30 days)]

Backpack: 10 cubic meters

[Skill: Empty]

[Attributes: Strength (7), Constitution (9), Agility (7), Reaction Speed (8)]

Hao Yun almost spat out blood at the sight of such a simplistic system interface. This system was utterly useless; it didn't even have a shop. Was this some kind of joke?

It took Hao Yun, who was somewhat frantic, a long time to calm down. The movie world of Ip Man 2 was, after all, a relatively safe world.

If he were thrown into a world of high-level martial arts or a world of cultivation, he probably wouldn't survive a day.

Clang! A coin landed in front of Hao Yun. Hao Yun looked up and realized that a passerby had mistaken him for a beggar.

"What are you doing! Do you think I'm a beggar? Get lost!"

Picking up the coins from the ground, Hao Yun was somewhat annoyed and raised his arm to throw them back.

"Master Ye, come out for morning tea!"

"Yes, how's business today?"

"It's good, it's good."

[Option 1: Become Ip Man's apprentice (Reward: Base Attributes +3)]

Option Two: Refuse to become an apprentice (Reward: A pistol)

Hao Yun, who was about to toss the coin, froze instantly. The person who gave him the coin took the opportunity to disappear without a trace.

The system is alive? Hao Yun looked at the two options in front of him and decisively chose one.

The gun is indeed powerful, but Hao Yun doesn't know how to use it. The basic attributes are more practical.

[Selection complete. Rewards will be distributed after you become an apprentice.]

Hao Yun stared at Ip Man passing by on the street, his eyes darting around. He wondered if Ip Man would accept him if he rushed out now to ask to become Ip Man's disciple.

Hao Yun had seen the movie Ip Man 2. In it, Ip Man and his wife fled to Hong Kong, and Ip Man opened a boxing gym to make a living and take on students. He didn't know where the plot was at or whether Ip Man had taken on any students yet.

If I were to seek a master now, looking like this, I doubt Ip Man would accept me. Maybe I should make some money first, and then go and find a master.

Hao Yun, who was penniless, decided to get some money first. As for how to get money, after thinking for a while, Hao Yun came up with a plan. He quietly slipped into the wealthy area, hid, and waited for nightfall.

Having not eaten all day, Hao Yun's stomach was growling with hunger. Enduring the hunger, Hao Yun patiently waited for his target to appear.

On the dark street, a drunken foreigner appeared. Hao Yun's eyes lit up. When the man walked to the alley, Hao Yun swung the brick in his hand and knocked him down in one go.

Dragging the man into the alley, Hao Yun emptied his pockets, revealing a bulging wallet and a pocket watch.

Opening his wallet, Hao Yun saw a thick wad of cash and couldn't help but mutter, "These foreigners are really damn rich. Today I guess I've robbed the rich to help the poor!"

After putting the money in his pocket, Hao Yun quickly fled the scene and checked into a random hotel.

After a hearty meal, Hao Yun planned to become an apprentice the next day and claim the rewards from the system.

The night was far from peaceful. The foreigner who had been knocked unconscious by Hao Yun was a high-ranking police officer, whom everyone liked to call "Ghost Head." When he awoke from his coma, he angrily sent men to hunt down the attacker.

However, there were no cameras in that society, and he didn't see what the attacker looked like, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Early the next morning, Hao Yun went out to seek a master. Although he didn't know where Ip Man lived, he asked around. With the help of the enthusiastic neighbors, Hao Yun finally found Ip Man's residence.

Hao Yun raised his hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard footsteps and the door creaked open.

"Hello, I'm here to become a disciple of Master Ip Man."

The person who opened the door was Ip Man. He was taken aback when he heard that he wanted to become an apprentice. The advertisement had been posted for several days, but no one had come to ask to become an apprentice. Hao Yun was the first one.

"Hello, I am Ip Man, please come in."

After following Ip Man into the room, Ip Man began to ask questions.

Have you ever learned boxing before?

Hao Yun shook his head. In his time, most martial arts instructors were charlatans; only a fool would learn from them.

"Learning martial arts is a very tough thing. Can you stick with it?"

Although Ip Man taught boxing to make a living, he took it very seriously, so he made sure to explain things clearly before teaching.

"I can hold on."

Hao Yun was quite willing to learn some real kung fu for self-defense. With Ip Man's Wing Chun reputation being so prestigious, learning a few skills would only bring benefits and no harm.

"That's good, but I do charge tuition for teaching boxing. And that tuition..."

When the topic of tuition fees came up, Ip Man was a little embarrassed, after all, this was the first time he had opened a martial arts school.

“I understand! Master Ye, this is my tuition fee.”

Hao Yun pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Ip Man.

"That's too much. I earn fifteen yuan a month teaching boxing. You can take the extra back."

When Hao Yun handed over a thick wad of cash, amounting to several hundred dollars, Ip Man quickly waved his hand and refused.

“Master Ye, I’ve just arrived in Hong Kong and I have nowhere to stay, so I’d like to ask you to help me find a place to stay. Consider this extra money as payment for the room.”

Chapter 2 Becoming Ip Man's Apprentice

Upon hearing that Hao Yun had nowhere to stay, Ip Man contacted the landlord and rented a room for Hao Yun next to his own house. Ip Man did not accept any extra money and returned it all to Hao Yun.

Seeing that Ip Man refused to accept the gift, Hao Yun had no choice but to give it to him instead, so he decided to help Ip Man in other ways.

[You have successfully become an apprentice. Your reward is being sent out. Please check your account.]

Hao Yun, who was chatting with Ip Man, suddenly shuddered as a surge of heat coursed through his body, making him feel so good that he almost cried out.

The three-point boost to basic attributes provides an all-around enhancement, and Hao Yun's basic attributes have now reached the limits of human potential.

Strength (10), Constitution (12), Agility (10), Reaction Speed (11)

Normal people's attributes hover around 7 points, with some reaching 8 points. Only athletes and similar individuals can barely reach the human limit of 10 points in one of their attributes.

Some exceptional individuals, like Usain Bolt, may have pushed their agility beyond limits, so Hao Yun's current attributes can be described as extremely abnormal.

After all, one person doesn't have that much energy to train everything. The body will get tired after extreme training, which is why athletes focus on training only one thing.

Are you alright?

Seeing that Hao Yun's face was flushed red, Ip Man thought that something was wrong with him, so he quickly helped him sit down.

The heat that boosted his physical attributes disappeared, and Hao Yun's complexion finally returned to normal. Now he felt like he had inexhaustible strength.

"I'm so sorry, Master Ye, I'm so excited to be able to learn boxing from you."

Ip Man clearly didn't believe it, but since Hao Yun wouldn't say, he didn't ask any further questions.

"It's good that you're alright. I'll tidy up your room for you. You'll come with me to practice boxing in a bit."

A few minutes later, Ip Man led Hao Yun to the rooftop where he taught boxing. This rooftop was found for him by a friend of Ip Man's, otherwise he would have nowhere to teach boxing.

When Ip Man first arrived in Hong Kong, he was so poor that he could barely afford to eat. If it weren't for his wife mending clothes to supplement their income, the two of them would have been starving.

"Since you're learning boxing from me, I'll teach you seriously. This style of boxing is called Wing Chun, and it was taught to me by my master, Mr. Chen Huashun. Before you start learning, there's one thing you need to understand: learning boxing isn't for fighting, but for strengthening your body. Do you understand?"

Ip Man stood with his hands behind his back and spoke sternly to Hao Yun.

"knew."

"I hope you will remember this. Now I will teach you Wing Chun. Watch carefully and learn carefully."

Ip Man assumed a starting stance and began striking the wooden dummy.

Hao Yun, who was watching from the side, heard the system's voice in his mind, and the choice appeared again.

[Option 1: Refuse to learn Wing Chun (Reward: Yan Fang Tai Chi)]

Option 2: Learn Wing Chun in seven days (Reward: Eight-Cut Sword)

Two choices appeared again. Hao Yun decisively eliminated the first option. Putting everything else aside, the reward alone made Hao Yun want to complain. Yan Fang Tai Chi, are you kidding me? That's Tai Chi!
