Chapter 9: First place in the clear thinking competition
"Is it such a small thing? Besides, I was lucky enough to beat him by one and a half moves. This also proves that he taught well. He should be happy."
"Happy? Your idea is quite strange. Yang Zan is the nephew of the curator. He is very arrogant on weekdays. He always talks about how powerful he is in Tai Chi, and he can beat seven or eight people.
You have made him lose face in public. He will have to get this face back sooner or later. I estimate that he will be sparring with you again in the next few days. "Li Xinzhu looked at Wang An with strange eyes.
“What if I accidentally win again?” Wang An asked.
"Then you have to be careful. Maybe he will find someone to block you in a small alley and beat you up. When you compete with him again, can't you just admit defeat on purpose and give him a step down?" Li Xinzhu said. .
“I paid him the money, why should I spoil him?”
“Young people, don’t be so arrogant!”
“How can you be called a young man if you are not full of energy?”
“Well, based on what you think, I guess you won’t be able to stay here much longer.” Li Xinzhu said.
From then on, Wang An clearly felt that everyone looked at him differently. Some were appreciative, some were jealous, and some seemed to be waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Perhaps as Li Xinzhu said, he won't be able to stay here for long.
The next two days were uneventful, and Wang An had already mastered the power-generating techniques of Tai Chi.
This day is the weekend, and there are more students coming to the martial arts gym than on weekdays. Basically, everyone who can come comes.
Yang Zan, who was in charge of teaching boxing, clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
“Today our martial arts center is going to hold a Tai Chi Push Hands Competition, and the winner can learn boxing in our martial arts center for free for a month.
In addition, there will be a bonus of 1,000 yuan and the opportunity to receive personal guidance from our curator.
The final winner will also have the opportunity to participate in this year’s Tai Chi Martial Arts Competition held at Qingyangshan Tai Chi Martial Arts Hall. "
Li Xinzhu on the side turned to look at Wang An and grinned.
“Are you participating?”
Wang An nodded. He didn't care about the ranking or the final reward. He just wanted to take this opportunity to increase his experience and hone his skills.
Soon, all the students were divided into four groups, and the first place in each group competed, and the first place was finally selected.
The first person to join hands with Wang An was a young man who was eager to try. He thought that if he could beat Wang An, wouldn't he be the best among the students in this class?
As soon as he put his hands together, he didn't rush to do it. He tried it according to the Tai Chi push-hand method. Suddenly he felt a force coming from his arm, and he hurriedly moved back to remove it.
That force suddenly changed. His arm was guided by the force, and then his body tilted, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was suddenly pulled aside.
“Concession.” Wang Anyi cupped his hand.
“Awesome!” The young man raised his thumbs and praised.
The second push was too strong. Wang An took the opportunity to stumble and almost fell to the ground, but Wang An held him up.
The third, fourth, there is no suspense, Wang An wins.
Then the winners of the four groups compete against each other,
When the person who was competing with Wang An first came into contact, he felt that Wang An's arms were loose and cotton-like, with no strength at all.
Just when he was wondering, he felt that his arm straightened instantly, and with a flick of his arm, a burst of power suddenly burst out. He took two steps back before he could react.
this? !
The man was stunned.
“This, this is too mysterious!”
I used to hear about how mysterious Tai Chi Jin is, but I still didn’t believe it. Today I felt it for myself.
Wang An stood there, his face calm as usual, but his heart was also turbulent.
During the fight just now, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, a picture he had practiced thousands of times.
Then the scene just happened.
Now if he were asked to repeat the lucky move just now, he would most likely not be able to do it.
“You defeated Sun Dong in the competition, and you realized the power of Tai Chi.
Tai Chi experience +50. "
The next competition was as expected, Wang An won again, and the man he fought against in the end was a man he had never seen before. He was in his thirties, looked chubby, and had a friendly smile on his face.
"Please advise."
The two of them put their arms together.
“Well, this guy has some skills.” The man thought to himself.
The so-called expert can tell whether there is something right as soon as he makes a move. There is almost no force coming from the opponent's arm, which shows that he is "loose". But power may burst out from behind this pine at any time.
He pushed his hands very carefully to test.
Tai Chi can draw a circle horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The white crane with its wings spread is also drawing a circle.
What you see are the opponent's hands and feet, and what you feel is the strength coming from the arms.
After a short period of testing, the opponent started to take action.
One hook and one press, trying to stabilize Wang An's arm. Wang An retracted his arms and shook them, instead of advancing, he retreated.
The opponent kicked off his feet, blocked his arm with one hand, and slapped his chest with the other hand.
Tai Chi single whip palm,
Wang An has seen Yang Xianhua use this trick before, and has seen it on videos many times.
The opponent raised his hand and turned his elbow. Before his arm could be ejected, Wang An had already guessed his next move and hurriedly moved around, but the opponent's palm missed.
Take the opportunity to step forward and hold down the opponent's arm, lift, push, advance, and push.
Deng Deng Deng, the man took three steps back with a look of shock. Yang Zan, the referee on the side, was also stunned.
"good!"
One of the students watching from the sidelines shouted.
“I agree.” Wang An cupped his fists and raised his hands.
“You defeated Liang Hong in the competition, and gained a little.”
Tai Chi experience +20.
Liang Hong quickly put away the surprise on his face, smiled, and returned to the crowd.
Yang Zanpi announced the results with a smile. Wang An won the first place in this Tai Chi competition. Amid sparse applause, Wang An received the prize from Yang Zan.
“Haha, interesting, interesting, so interesting.” After coming out of the martial arts gym, Li Xinzhu pulled Wang An and said with a smile.
“Do you know who Liang Hong is?”
"who?"
“He is Yang Zan’s junior fellow apprentice and Yang Xianhua’s third disciple.”
"What?" Wang An was stunned after hearing this, "Why do you do this?"
“Why, get back your face, you beat Yang Zan, let Liang Hong beat you, and then Yang Zan beat him again, and finally reveal your true identity, won’t you get your face back?
Or Yang Zan will directly call you to spar again and make you lose twice in a row. It would be even better if he can make you embarrassed in public. "
“Is it just such a small thing?”
“As for it, for some generous people, such as me, naturally they won’t care about this trivial matter.
But for some people who are petty and face-conscious. It's a big deal if you lose your face, you have to get it back. "Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
