It's undeniable that Taekwondo and Karate are extremely popular in cities, especially among female office workers. And these socialites present were no exception.
They are women too, aren't they?
"There's going to be another amazing performance this time! I came here specifically to see Coach Liu's show!" a fair-skinned woman said, her eyes half-closed and slightly dazed.
"Yes, it looks amazing, I'm really looking forward to it," another woman said excitedly.
"I wonder if Coach Liu from Waseda is better at karate, or if Han Yumei from Changbai is better at taekwondo!" one woman said calmly.
"I support Mu Chun!" a heavily made-up woman screamed.
"Tch—" a man scoffed, "I support Han Youmei!"
Li Yang, Cao Xin, and Yuan Taozhi also left their seats and stood in the crowd. After all, even they couldn't resist such a lively event.
Cao Xin glanced at Li Yang and asked, "What do you think of his martial arts skills?"
Cao Xin's words caught Yuan Taozhi's attention. She looked at Li Yang with her bright eyes and asked, "You use martial arts?"
"I only know a little bit!" Li Yang smiled modestly.
"As for this Instructor Liu's kung fu, it's nothing more than Japanese karate, derived from early Chinese Tang Shou. It's a rather simple martial art. However, if you add some ninjutsu to it, it might be a bit more interesting. After all, ninjutsu is used for cunning!" Li Yang said calmly. His implication was that he looked down on karate and Liu Muchun.
Yuan Taozhi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? It seems your martial arts skills are quite good?" If her martial arts skills weren't very impressive, she wouldn't dare to say such a thing to Liu Muchun, after all, Liu Muchun was a recognized martial arts master, and a 9th dan black belt in karate could only be obtained after being certified by the World Karate Association.
Without real strength, one absolutely cannot obtain this title. Moreover, she had seen Liu Muchun's performance, which was indeed very impressive. He could break through a wooden board several centimeters thick with a single palm strike or kick!
If Li Yang's martial arts skills weren't very high, then saying such things would be ignorant and arrogant. Glancing at Cao Xin, Yuan Taozhi didn't believe Cao Xin would be friends with someone so ignorant and arrogant.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of anticipation.
"My martial arts skills? Hehe, they're passable!" Li Yang smiled faintly again, neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Brother, it's so satisfying to hear you talk! You know martial arts, don't you? These Japanese ronin are running rampant on our land, and I just can't stand it! Those idiots are fucking Japanese bastards! They're all idiots who deserve a beating!" For some reason, Zhuang You, a big, burly man with a loud voice, stood next to Li Yang.
Hearing Li Yang and Yuan Taozhi's conversation, he immediately chimed in familiarly.
Yuan Taozhi glanced at him and smiled faintly. This man was indeed straightforward. She knew him and had a good impression of him! He had a fiery temper and couldn't tolerate any injustice, but he was a sincere person.
"Keep your voice down, bro, or those guys will cause you trouble!" Li Yang added fuel to the fire.
"They dare! Damn it! Brother, what's your name? My name is Zhuang You, the Zhuang You from Zhuangzi's 'Free and Easy Wandering'!" Zhuang You finished cursing loudly and grabbed Li Yang's hand.
"My name is Li Yang! Li as in fruit, Yang as in flying!" Li Yang also likes such a forthright person.
As they were explaining, Liu Muchun inside had already prepared, changing into a karate uniform and wearing a black belt. Upon arriving at the center of the arena, several Hari ethnic minority men and women had already prepared wooden planks, each about one centimeter thick.
They all stood in a circle around Liu Muchun. Liu Muchun stood in the middle, exhaled and spoke with great force. He used his hands and feet to snap the one-centimeter-thick wooden boards in half.
"good--"
"Clap clap clap..."
Many people around clapped excitedly, mostly women. Among the men, only the Japanophiles were shouting merrily, as if someone was violating their anuses. After all, most men disliked the Japanese.
"Damn it! What rubbish! I could do the same if I went up there!" Zhuang You was a typical anti-Japanese element who couldn't stand the Japanese being so smug and arrogant.
The cheers had stopped by then, and Zhuang You's loud voice seemed out of place.
Many people knew his temper, but they just frowned and remained silent. Many others, however, laughed gleefully, watching their misfortune unfold.
Those Japanophiles were quite dissatisfied, but they knew this wasn't the first time they'd been mocked by Zhuang You. Seeing Liu Muchun standing calmly without any apparent displeasure, they held back.
However, Li Yang's eyes were incredibly sharp, and he still caught the fleeting murderous intent in Liu Muchun's eyes, the chill emanating from his body, and the throbbing muscles.
He was clearly furious inside. It was just him showing off and putting on airs.
Damn! The Japanese are so smug and arrogant! I'll provoke them a little more!
At this point, a new round of performances began inside. The Hari people were no longer holding a one-centimeter-thick wooden board, but two boards stacked together. This doubled the difficulty, as they now had to break through a two-centimeter-thick board.
Although Yuan Taozhi was exceptionally beautiful and had a refined, ethereal appearance, Li Yang had no intention of pursuing her. After all, he had been involved with quite a few women and didn't want to get involved with anyone else.
So they deliberately don't pay attention to their image.
He chuckled to Zhuang You on the side. His voice was quite loud, and it was even clearer now that everyone was watching Liu Muchun's performance in silence. He deliberately used the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique, so everyone present could hear him clearly.
Whether it's a man or a woman.
"Brother Zhuang, shall I tell you a story?"
Zhuang You found Li Yang quite agreeable; as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, anti-Japanese sentiment was an essential part of his identity. He readily agreed, "Alright, brother, what do you say?"
"Alright. It was said that three people went out for a trip: a Han Chinese scholar, a white missionary, and a Japanese ronin! The three of them walked into a deep mountain forest, but little did they know that there was a witch's den in the mountains, and everyone in it was a woman."
If all three of them were captured together, they certainly wouldn't have a good ending. But the female leader was a shrewish woman who was particular about appearances, so she said, "If the combined size of your three penises is twenty-four inches, I will release you."
If that's not enough, I'm sorry, but we happen to need eunuchs here, so we'll have to make do with you. The white missionary was very proud and immediately took off his pants. The witch's women brought over a ruler, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue: ten and a half inches.
Then it was the Han scholar's turn. He pulled down his pants, and the witch scoffed, "Is that all?" The scholar laughed and said, "Miss, you don't know this. This is the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the magic staff of Sun Wukong! If you don't believe me, rub it and shout 'Big, big!'" The witch indeed did so, rubbing it and shouting, "Big, big, big…!" It did indeed grow much larger. She took a ruler and measured it. The witch's mouth dropped open. "Good heavens, eleven and a half inches!"
Chapter 374: Enraged
"The witch did indeed make her move, going up and rubbing it, muttering 'Bigger, bigger, bigger…' The thing did indeed grow much larger. She took a ruler and measured it. The witch's mouth dropped open—good heavens, eleven and a half inches! Next, it was the Japanese ronin's turn. The bastard, however, clutched his crotch and refused to take off his pants. The witch got angry and shouted, 'If you don't take them off, I'll chop you down!' The Japanese ronin held on for a long time before reluctantly, his face flushed, and finally took them off. The witch measured them—two and a half inches. The three of them together totaled exactly twenty-four inches. The witch leader was a woman of her word, so she released the three. On the way back, the white missionary and the Han scholar complained about the Japanese ronin, saying they were almost killed by him. But the Japanese ronin, his face flushed and full of grievance, cried out, 'You two, if I hadn't stalled for time and rubbed it so hard, all three of us would have become eunuchs! Hehe…'"
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, not only did Zhuang You laugh until tears streamed down his face, but even the reserved Cao Xin and the pure and refined Yuan Taozhi blushed and giggled, glaring at Li Yang reproachfully. This man is really wicked, telling such a joke in this kind of situation.
In fact, as soon as Li Yang started speaking, he attracted the attention of most people. After all, it was hard not to hear such a loud voice.
