The Strengths of a Hundred Schools, a Master of All

Bite!

The host has successfully mastered the [Tongbei Quan] technique.

Zhang Yang's face lit up with joy.

The trigger probability of this buff is truly astonishing; in the blink of an eye, I've mastered Tongbei Fist again.

In an instant, the essence of Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts) came to mind.

Zhang Yang instantly resembled a seasoned master of Tongbei Quan, whose waist and back strength flowed seamlessly into one, allowing him to unleash Tongbei Quan power effortlessly.

Sanda, Wing Chun, Tongbei

I have mastered all three fighting styles.

Below the stage, more and more people looked up at the figure standing on the ring, their eyes filled with awe.

More and more people flocked to each live stream to watch the spectacle.

[This is real kung fu!]

[Who was just laughing? Step forward! With a skill like that, it would take decades of practice to master!]

[I told you long ago that traditional martial arts can be used in real combat, now you believe me?!]

Master Wu of the Ever-Victorious Martial Arts Hall stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

He was certainly aware of his star pupil's true level. To some extent, even he had to think twice before facing a young and strong opponent.

But this person in front of me defeated his disciple in just one move?

What kind of strength is this?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stepped onto the ring without hesitation.

"I'll do it!"

"Good timing." Zhang Yang had just mastered all the essentials of Tongbei Quan and was eager to show off his skills when he saw that the younger one had been defeated and the older one had come up. It was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.

He shuddered, the force traveling down his back as he swung his arms out.

In an instant, all the energy in my body seemed to flow as one.

Snap!

A sharp, thunderous crack echoed through the hall.

"The tenth shot!" Director Wu's eyes bulged out as he shouted, but he had no strength left to defend himself and was instantly sent flying backward.

The entire hall was silent.

"No, he... he doesn't pick and choose who he's after? Anyone can be the same?" Lu Yao muttered to herself in the crowd, her eyes inexplicably shining with a strange light.

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.

In each live stream room, gifts were being sent out in a chaotic flurry.

Both online and offline, everyone was in high spirits.

"Good!"

"What was that sound just now? Director Wu said it was the tenth sound!"

"You wouldn't know this, would you? The highest level of Tongbei Quan is the Tenth Tongbei Slap!"

"The highest level? Why does this sound like something out of a martial arts novel? It can't be that mystical, can it?"

"It's not as mysterious as it sounds. To put it simply, it's about mastering a very complex technique for generating power, a technique that allows the body's strength to explode at a single point in an instant. If you can master this after practicing Tongbei Quan for decades, you're considered lucky. Most people can't master it in their entire lives."

The discussion in the live stream room was lively.

On the stage, Director Wu suddenly pushed himself up and got up, but his expression was not one of frustration.

On the contrary... I was quite happy.

"Great! Excellent! I may have lost, but I didn't lose Tongbei Quan!" Director Wu was actually quite pleased. "What's your name?"

Zhang Yang felt a little awkward.

Real names can't be revealed, so does that mean I have to use a pseudonym? Do I have to be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) even if I don't want to?

"Why don't you decide what to do?"

Director Wu was taken aback, then looked at Zhang Yang's mask again, and recalled the phone call from just now, and suddenly understood.

They simply don't want to reveal their identity.

"Then you..."

"I'm leaving now. I'm sorry to interrupt your class." Zhang Yang waved his hand and jumped off the stage with a flourish.

He's still very busy; there are plenty of martial arts schools waiting for him to visit and exchange ideas with.

Although traditional martial arts are currently weak, with many routines and various criticisms regarding their practical combat effectiveness, as long as he masters them and elevates them to a level of proficiency, he will eventually be able to grasp their essence.

A path instantly parted in the crowd.

Everyone stared intently as Zhang Yang's figure disappeared into the distance.

"Wow, that's amazing! So cool!"

"We just don't know what the big shot's name is. Since the big shot wants to hide his identity, why don't we give him a name?"

Opinions varied widely.

"A mysterious martial arts master!"

"The Mystery Guest!"

"The Divine Dragon Hero!"

"How about we call him Dragon-Faced Man?"

Lu Yao stood in the crowd, rolling her eyes; she was genuinely feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"What era are we living in? Why is it still so awkward?" she muttered to herself. "He has a name, Zhang Yang, but..."

She looked around and resisted the urge to say Zhang Yang's name.

After leaving Ever-Victorious Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Yang continued on to his next destination without stopping.

"Qian Family Xingyi?"

Zhang Yang stood in front of a martial arts school and walked in without thinking.

After Zhang Yang left Ever-Victorious Martial Arts Hall, persistent onlookers, either out of curiosity or greed for views, followed the live stream all the way to the next martial arts school.

A moment later, on the same arena.

"Watch closely, Half-Step Beng Fist." Qian, the Dornbracht successor of Qian Family Xingyi Quan, who is young and strong, unleashed the Half-Step Beng Fist.

It is said that the Half-Step Bengquan (a type of fist) can conquer the world. This Half-Step Bengquan was passed down from Guo Yunshen, a Xingyiquan master from two hundred years ago. It is said that when he was in prison, he could only take half a step because he was wearing shackles and could not perform the wide and powerful movements.

Over time, he mastered the unique skill of the Half-Step Crushing Fist.

To be fair, this half-step was indeed a grand gesture, but unfortunately, it had already run into Zhang Yang.

At this moment, Zhang Yang combined Sanda, Wing Chun, and Tongbei into one, and then used superhuman strength to unleash it.

To be frank, he was naturally destined to be utterly defeated.

Boom!

The arena shook.

Director Qian was knocked to the ground.

Bite!

Congratulations, host, you have mastered the Proficient level of Xingyi Quan.

Zhang Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

Instantly, mind and intention unite, intention and breath unite, breath and strength unite, shoulders and hips unite, elbows and knees unite, hands and feet unite, and one masters all of Xingyi Quan.

The essence of the Three-Body Stance, the Five Elements Fist, and the Twelve Forms Fist all surfaced in my mind, and I then integrated them into my understanding.

With complete mastery of Wing Chun, Tongbei, and Xingyi.

His mastery of force was unparalleled. In the past, although he was strong, he relied on sheer force to overcome all techniques and would simply blast his opponent away in a fight. In reality, this dispersed his power and wasted a lot of energy.

But now, the same strike can cause even greater damage.

If I had to describe it, in the past, a full-force punch could dent and deform a car door, but now it would probably pierce through paper and leave a hole.

"Wow, this guy is awesome!"

"Handsome!"

More and more onlookers gathered below, and the shouts grew louder and louder.

More and more people flocked to each live stream room to watch, including many knowledgeable people and even celebrities.

"If I met him, I'd probably just have to admit defeat," a young traditional martial arts influencer remarked.

"I'd like to give it a try, but I doubt it," Lin Lei, a renowned figure in Chinese mixed martial arts and a prominent figure in the UFC, suddenly remarked.

Many netizens noticed his ID.

[No... Traditional martial arts are traditional martial arts after all. Brother Lei, you specialize in practical combat. Do you really think traditional martial arts are that effective in real combat?]

[I can't say whether traditional martial arts are strong in actual combat, but this person is at least very strong! Absolutely ridiculously strong!]

It has been endorsed by celebrities.

Even Zhang Yang didn't realize that his popularity had inexplicably surged.

His nickname has changed several times.

From "Dragon-faced Man" and "Dragon-faced Hero" to "Dragon-faced Man"... in the end, everyone agreed that the above titles were too outrageous and too embarrassing.

Finally, a name that is widely recognized was chosen.

[Mr. Long is awesome!]

Traditional martial arts are awesome!

Tianjin Martial Arts Hall, Chen Zhang and Ye Yunkai looked on with satisfaction at the current marketing buzz.

"Mr. Long is a good nickname. Who came up with it?" Chen Zhang was quite satisfied.

Without revealing Zhang Yang's true identity, Mr. Long is essentially a symbol, a symbol representing the image of traditional martial arts in China, which is rising to prominence.

Then we can face off against top fighters from multiple countries.

Let Mr. Long be completely deified!

Don't feel embarrassed by the title. As long as you have the ability, even the most embarrassing title can be turned into a highly valuable brand.

Mr. Long.

When it gets out of the country, how about Mister Long or Mister Gragg? Foreigners probably won't find the name awkward.

"But, to be honest, Zhang Yang is just too strong!" Chen Zhang took a deep breath.

Strength is proven through battle achievements.

From the moment Zhang Yang defeated him, all the way from Ye Yunkai to several major martial arts schools in Tianjin, involving Wing Chun, Tongbei, and Xingyi, Zhang Yang was truly invincible.

He had confidence in Zhang Yang and believed he could win.

But to win so easily, with an almost instantaneous defeat, is truly unbelievable.

"And have you noticed that Zhang Yang has demonstrated his skills in several instances, from Wing Chun to Tongbei, which traditional martial art is he not proficient in, or even at its peak?" Ye Yunkai suddenly spoke up, "He might actually be able to represent traditional martial arts in China to some extent, it's just a pity that he doesn't want to show his face in public."

"Why would he want to show his face in public? For fame? For money? Do you think he cares?" Chen Zhang laughed. "He's a free spirit, does whatever he wants, and is handsome and rich. How could he possibly be bound by these things?"

He patted Ye Yunkai on the shoulder.

"Old Ye, be content. Zhang Yang is already being generous by giving you the title of Mr. Long. You should keep it running well."

I left the Xingyi Martial Arts School.

Zhang Yang has entered a sweeping mode.

In the vast Tianjin, martial arts schools are everywhere, offering a wide variety of traditions.

From Tai Chi Chuan, which brings peace and tranquility to the world, to Bajiquan, which brings stability and power to the world, from Baguazhang to Jiequan, Chuojiao, Tan Leg, and Sanhuang Paochui...

Zhang Yang, wearing a dragon mask, swept through the enemy ranks single-handedly.

No one could withstand a single blow from him.

As he swept through the land, one traditional martial art after another was replicated by the buffs given by the system, and he mastered them.

The martial arts community in Tianjin was shaken that day.

Online, the whole nation is paying attention, and countless celebrities are becoming fans...

Inside the Bajiquan gym.

The gym leader was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the arena.

The audience erupted in cheers that shook the heavens once again, without a doubt.

"Invincible! Mr. Long is invincible!"

"Traditional martial arts are the best in the world, Mr. Long is the best in the world."

In the crowd, Lu Yao looked at the tall figure on the stage, her eyes filled with admiration and wonder.

She was still a little resentful after being defeated.

After defeating her master, she began to act inexplicably.

But today, she followed him all the way, witnessing Zhang Yang sweep across the Tianjin martial arts world, defeating many of Tianjin seniors and establishing an invincible reputation all by himself.

Moreover, they all used the same move.

With every gesture, he effortlessly displayed various traditional martial arts techniques, as if there was nothing in the world he couldn't do.

She was completely convinced.

Worship and adoration are insufficient to describe her current feelings.

"He... he's so handsome!" Lu Yao suddenly exclaimed without realizing it, startling even herself.

On the arena.

"I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced." The headmaster, who had practiced Baguazhang for twenty years, stood up, utterly convinced.

Only he himself could personally experience the shock and overwhelming feeling of fighting Zhang Yang.

That kind of power is like a dimensional reduction attack.

What is there to be dissatisfied about?

Challenging other martial arts schools is generally unpleasant, but when someone sweeps through the entire Tianjin martial arts community and almost single-handedly elevates the reputation of traditional martial arts in combat to its highest level, these veteran practitioners of traditional martial arts are filled with nothing but gratitude.

Finally, someone has the ability to promote traditional Chinese martial arts!

Bite!

Congratulations, host! You have successfully mastered Baguazhang [Proficient].

Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

It also incorporated a martial arts style.

By this time, he had mastered a wide range of martial arts, including Sanda, Wing Chun, Tongbei Quan, Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Baguazhang, Jeet Kune Do, Chuojiao, and more.

He possessed a comprehensive understanding and mastery of numerous specialties.

Zhang Yang has truly become the master of traditional Chinese martial arts.

"Call!"

If you were to ask Zhang Yang how he feels right now, the answer would be two words: powerful.

The absolute strength of an individual.

While the word "powerful" might be a bit of a stretch in modern society, considering his individual strength alone, coupled with the pile of item cards he carries, he certainly deserves the title of "invincible."

In the past, he would definitely have been considered a great master and outstanding figure, a guest of honor of kings, nobles and high-ranking officials.

Even in this era where even the most skilled martial artist is vulnerable to bullets, Zhang Yang, even if he had nothing and started from scratch, could easily gain wealth, fame, and honor with his skills, making a fortune of hundreds of millions a piece of cake.

Bite!

Because the host has mastered more than ten martial arts techniques, a special reward of [Master Aura] is given.

Note: This aura can be triggered by wearing any mask.

This aura includes the following special effects: a majestic and imposing gait, unwavering stillness, the ability to generate electricity even in a still room, high moral standing and prestige, and spontaneous movement even without wind.

This aura comes with an instantaneous flight time plus one second.

When this aura appears, the background music of "[Ip Man]" will automatically play in the minds of those present.

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded.

What is this? The Master Aura?

This means that wearing the mask will trigger an automatic event at any time.

He could understand the imposing presence and unwavering demeanor described above, but what did "moving without wind" mean?

Does it mean standing still, with no wind, and your hair and clothes fluttering together?

Does it add another second to the airtime speed?

Holy crap!

The average person's hang time is about 0.427 seconds, while Jordan's average is 0.7 seconds.

He's really in luck now, he's added another second to his original airtime? Is this some kind of light-footed skill?

What he couldn't understand at all was the fact that background music would automatically play in his head as he walked away.

Could it be that when foreigners see me, they'll inexplicably hear in their minds, "[One step, one punch—focus your mind; use your elbow to take the center line—memorize the standard to truly master it]"?

Seriously, bro?
