Option two is quite tempting: the Eight-Cut Saber, a unique saber technique in Wing Chun. I learned kung fu from Ip Man, and he certainly wouldn't teach me this saber technique.
The reward was good, but Hao Yun wasn't confident he could learn Wing Chun in seven days, since he had never been exposed to it before.
"Did you see that clearly? Come over here and show me a set, then I'll give you some pointers."
Hao Yun, who was hesitating about which option to choose, suddenly came to his senses and let out a blank "Ah".
Seeing Hao Yun's state, Ip Man couldn't help but shake his head. He was so unfocused even when learning boxing from him. However, since he had already taken the money, he couldn't just stop teaching him.
"If you didn't see it clearly, I'll type it out again, and you can learn slowly by following along with me."
Hao Yun gritted his teeth and chose the second option: to learn Wing Chun in seven days.
Hao Yun then began learning Wing Chun from Ip Man. It must be said that Ip Man was very patient, constantly correcting Hao Yun's incorrect postures.
In just one morning, Hao Yun had mastered the basics and was able to perform a complete set of Wing Chun.
Seeing how quickly Hao Yun was learning, Ip Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Hao Yun was as stupid as a pig and would never learn no matter how he was taught.
"Okay, now you can go practice on the wooden dummy. Don't go too fast, take your time."
"yes."
Hao Yun responded and began practicing on the wooden dummy. While practicing, Hao Yun pondered to himself, "I have already learned Wing Chun, so why haven't I completed option two yet? Are there any prerequisites for completing this option?"
"Stop! Your posture was wrong just now. Lower your body and cut inward with your palm."
When Ip Man, who was sitting to the side, saw Hao Yun make a mistake, he immediately stopped him and corrected him.
When it was noon, Ip Man's wife came to bring him lunch.
"Take a break, then come and have lunch with us. This is your teacher's wife. Come, sit down and eat with us."
At Ip Man's invitation, Hao Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He greeted his master's wife and picked up his rice bowl to start eating.
After boxing all morning, Hao Yun was starving, and he ate most of the two plates of vegetables on the table.
After putting down the empty bowl, Hao Yun rubbed his stomach. He wasn't full, which was quite embarrassing.
Sitting to the side, Ip Man smiled. He knew that Hao Yun hadn't eaten enough. Practicing martial arts was very physically demanding, and without proper nutrition, he would only ruin his body in the end.
"Go down to the street corner and buy me a few pancakes. Here's the money for them."
Ip Man took a banknote out of his pocket and handed it to Hao Yun.
"Okay, Master, I'm going to buy the cakes."
After taking the money from Ip Man, Hao Yun dashed downstairs; the feeling of not being full was truly unpleasant.
When Hao Yun arrived at the pancake stall on the street corner, he bought five large pancakes and a large piece of cooked beef from the deli before running back to the rooftop.
"Master, I've bought the cakes, here's the rest of the money."
When buying the pancakes, Hao used the money given to him by Ip Man, but when buying the beef, he used his own money.
Ip Man accepted the money, picked up a pancake and started eating. At this moment, Hao Yun took out cooked beef and placed it in the center of the table.
"Master, have some beef in your bowl, and you should try some too, Master's wife."
Under Hao Yun's eager gaze, Ip Man rolled up half a pancake with cooked beef inside for his wife. After the three of them finished eating, almost all of the large piece of cooked beef and five large pancakes ended up in Hao Yun's stomach.
After finishing lunch, Hao Yun continued practicing his boxing. He was a little confused as to why he hadn't completed option two.
After practicing boxing all day, Hao Yun would probably still be practicing on the wooden dummy if Ip Man hadn't called him home that evening. Practicing on the wooden dummy all day had practically driven Hao Yun mad.
Even during dinner, Hao Yun was still pondering why he hadn't completed the options. For two consecutive days, Hao Yun had been in a daze.
On the third day, Ip Man noticed that Hao Yun's mental state was not right. When he was hitting the wooden dummy, he was muttering something incoherently, so Ip Man stopped him.
Hao Yun, who suffers from some obsessive-compulsive disorder, was still thinking about the options and didn't hear Ip Man calling him at all.
When Ip Man saw that Hao Yun didn't react, he grabbed him and Hao Yun, who was still practicing on the wooden dummy, instinctively fought back.
Hao Yun blocked Ip Man's grabbing hand, then cut inside and delivered a quick punch to Ip Man's ribs.
Caught off guard, Ip Man almost fell victim to the attack, but as a seasoned master, he easily subdued Hao Yun and neutralized his move.

Chapter 3 Desire to Visit a Brothel
Wing Chun - Beginner Level
The notification sound in his mind invigorated Hao Yun, and the usage and moves of the Eight-Slash Blade were transmitted into his brain.
No wonder he didn't receive a reward; it turns out he hadn't even mastered Wing Chun yet. He turned to look at Ip Man.
"Master, are you alright?"
"It's alright. You're very good at immersing yourself in practicing boxing."
Ip Man's satisfied expression made Hao Yun feel awkward. He couldn't very well tell Ip Man that he had gone crazy over choosing the reward.
Scratching his head and chuckling foolishly, Hao Yun opened the system, and two new skills appeared in his skill bar.
[Skills: Wing Chun - Beginner, Eight-Cut Broadsword - Max Level]
This time I've hit the jackpot; the Eight-Slash Blade the system gave me is truly powerful.
"Keep practicing."
Ip Man turned and left, returning to his table to continue drinking tea. He was somewhat worried; after recruiting students for so long, he had only managed to get Hao Yun as his disciple, and his tuition fees were about to run out.
Seeing his wife's belly getting bigger and bigger, Ip Man became a little anxious and thought he should go to the docks and find a job.
"Is Master Ye here? Someone wants to become his apprentice!"
An older woman's voice came from downstairs, and a short while later, a young man came up onto the balcony.
"I've come to become your apprentice; I've heard you teach boxing here!"
Hao Yun, who was practicing on the wooden dummy, glanced at it. This must be Huang Liang. He's quite handsome, but he's still not as good-looking as me.
"That's right, I teach Wing Chun."
Ip Man responded with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking, "Finally, I have someone to become my disciple again."
Hao Yun, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, originally thought that the two would fight like in the movie, but reality is different from the movie.
After a brief conversation, Ip Man accepted his second disciple.
Under Ip Man's guidance, Wong Leung began to learn Wing Chun. Unlike Hao Yun, Wong Leung only practiced for one morning. He had to go out to earn money in the afternoon and evening, so he didn't have time to practice all the time.
After practicing boxing together for a few days, the two became quite familiar with each other. Since Ip Man was not around, Huang Liang greeted Hao Yun with a smile.
"Let's go out tonight, I'll take you to relax."
Seeing Huang Liang's lewd smile, Hao Yun instantly understood what he meant: I'm a gentleman, why would I go with you? Humph!
As evening fell, Hao Yun and Huang Liang walked arm in arm down a bustling street. As soon as they entered, Hao Yun heard a familiar voice.
"Grandpa, come and have some fun!"
As he walked in, the sight of those long, white legs was so dazzling that Hao Yun almost couldn't open his eyes... *cough cough*
"Hehe, see how generous I am, bro? Come on, it's on me today!"
Huang Liang pulled Hao Yun along and led him familiarly into a building. As soon as they entered, a middle-aged woman who still had a charming appearance came over to greet them.
"Young Master is here again. Is he looking for Chunhua again?"
Huang Liang laughed heartily, then put his arm around the woman and chuckled wickedly.
"Of course, Aunt Xue understands me best. I brought my brother here today, so I'll arrange a beautiful one for him."
"Sure, no problem at all. Come with me."
Compared to Huang Liang, Hao Yun, who was experiencing something like this for the first time, was a little reserved. After entering the room, he didn't dare to look around and kept staring at the top of his feet.
"Brother, let's go!"
Huang Liang grabbed Hao Yun and led him up to the second floor.
"Oh, is this your first time here, young man? I'm sorry."
The woman who led the two upstairs reached out and grasped Hao Yun's hand, pressing half of her body against it.
"Don't be shy, isn't the point of coming here to relax? Come with me, Aunt Xue will introduce you to a good one."
Hao Yun, who had been in a uterus for over twenty years, blushed instantly. The softness on his arm made his whole body stiffen, as if he were being pulled along like a puppet.
Huang Liang, who was walking ahead, turned around and saw Hao Yun's appearance, and his mouth was so wide that it almost reached the back of his ears.
"I'm going to play now, Aunt Xue, please take good care of my brother for me."
"Alright, go find your Chunhua now. Don't worry about me taking care of this guy."
Huang Liang turned around and went into a small room, leaving Hao Yun alone.
"Don't be nervous, come in with me."
Aunt Xue smiled and pulled Hao Yun into a room. After settling Hao Yun in, she went out. A little while later, Aunt Xue brought a little girl into the room.
“Pear Blossom, don’t say your mother doesn’t take care of you. Look how handsome this young man is. Take good care of him.”
After escorting the girl into the house, Aunt Xue turned and left, instantly creating an awkward atmosphere inside.
Hao Yun sat in the chair, feeling uncomfortable all over. The girl named Lihua sat down next to Hao Yun with a slightly shy expression.
"Hey buddy, wanna grab a drink?"
Pear Blossom picked up the wine pot, poured a cup of wine into the cup in front of Hao Yun, and then brought it to his lips.
Hao Yun, who was feeling uneasy, became even more stiff when the girl pressed against him.
Come on~
The soft, sweet voice reached Hao Yun's ears, making him shudder and feel half of his bones melt. He took the wine glass from the girl's hand and downed it in one gulp.
A faint fragrance wafted from the girl, and Hao Yun couldn't help but sniff.
"Do you like the taste?"
"I...I like it."
