Chapter 29 The World Tournament, the benefits of time and space energy
In fact, Zhang Shuo also knew that because of his identity as a "Qing Dynasty man", this mixed martial arts competition was not taken seriously by Western fighters.
But no arrogance can afford to spend money. Under Zhang Shuo's reputation of real money and world character fighting competitions, only a few can be suppressed.
"Are all the Chinese martial artists I invited here?" Zhang Shuo hugged Aunt Thirteen and asked while chatting. Chinese martial artists are what Zhang Shuo cares about the most.
"Well~ Except for the Bagua Zhang Cheng Tinghua who did not come because of the incident, all the other martial artists you invited came to Foshan. After all, we paid the round-trip fee for this event."
As Aunt Thirteen said, she held down her restless hand.
"The martial artists I have named are all masters of the times, and it would be a pity that no one of them came."
Cheng Tinghua, the apprentice of Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang, gained the essence of Baguazhang, and even transformed Dong Haichuan's Baguazhang to create the "Cheng's Baguazhang".
Unfortunately, Dong Haichuan passed away last year, and Zhang Shuo could not meet this master who was inseparable from Tai Chi master Yang Luchan.
"In fact, the most regrettable thing is them. The grand occasion of this competition has never been seen since ancient times. Many martial artists who have not received invitations have gone to the registration office to participate in the auditions themselves."
"So, thanks to the fact that I set up two registration offices in the north and south." Zhang Shuo smiled, and he also moved over to the tricks of future talent shows.
The registration location in the north is Zhengzhou, Henan, in the heart of the Central Plains, and the birthplace of many modern martial arts schools in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
The registration point in the south is in Wuhan, with two registration places, one south and one north. After layers of selection, the registered martial artists can go directly to Foshan to participate in this grand event gathering of Chinese and foreign martial artists after meeting the conditions.
Of course, those who were named by Zhang Shuo can come directly to participate in the competition. The slogan of this competition in China is "Promote the power of Chinese martial arts." So even the losers of the competition come to watch this grand event.
Therefore, Foshan is now gathering with all parties, and dragons and snakes gather. Domestic and foreign newspapers and media are also paying attention to this matter. Although it was initiated by the people, I heard that even the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to come. I guess it was to handle the relationship with the foreigners who came, for fear that the warriors would not know about the state affairs.
...................................................................................
Time flies, and martial artists from all over the country and even many foreign martial artists rushed to Foshan.
Until two days before the event, domestic martial artists, whether they were selected or invited by Zhang Shuo, had already arrived at the apartment arranged by Zhang Shuo to live in.
During this period, the martial artists who came from all over the world competed with each other, and even fought and injured people repeatedly on the streets.
It made the Guangdong Admiral feel worried. You said that the competition held by the people in the folk made this mess and asked the people from the yamen to wipe their butts. But you had no choice.
Because of this competition, the court strongly agreed with it. Even the old Buddha in the palace who had just launched the "Jashen Yishu" to take power alone was very concerned about this competition. He asked himself, as an admiral, to supervise the competition.
Anyway, there is no need to allocate money from the court. If Chinese martial artists can defeat the fighting masters of the great powers of various countries, they will be considered as "our Qing Dynasty" powerful!
....................................................
At night, the largest restaurant in Foshan.
At this time, the restaurant was crowded with people, and martial artists from all over the world gathered together to communicate in groups of three or three. Because they were all well-known martial artists from all over the world, and many people had already discussed each other some time ago, they were not unfamiliar with each other.
At this time, Zhang Shuo, Huang Feihong, Yan Zhendong and others stood on the first floor, talking to the martial artists who had arrived, while preparing to welcome those who had not yet arrived.
"Hebei, Sun Lutang is here~" At this time, the waiter outside the door received the invitation from Sun Lutang who was rushing to the scene and shouted loudly inside.
Sun Lutang (1860-1933) was named Fuquan, with his courtesy name Lutang, and his late name Hanzhai, with his nickname Living Monkey. He is from Beiguan, Shunping County, Hebei Province. He was the founder of Sun-style Tai Chi and Sun-men martial arts. He is a famous modern Chinese martial artist. In modern martial arts world, he is known as the Martial Saint, Martial God, omnipotent, and the Tiger Head Shaobao, and is the first-hand man in the world.
Of course, Sun Lutang is not yet known as the "first-hand in the world", but he is already quite famous in the northern martial arts world. As soon as he came in, many northern martial arts masters went to say hello.
Domestic martial artists who came to Foshan received invitations from Zhang Shuo. In addition to Sun Lutang, such as: Wang Wu of the Big Sword, Yang Jianhou of the Yang family, and other martial arts masters who were familiar with later generations have arrived. After a greeting, the familiar martial artists gathered together to sit down.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the martial artists from the south and the north basically sit on both sides. After all, Chinese people like to gather with familiar people or fellow villagers.
"Everyone, thank you for your appreciation for your appointment. Zhang Jizhixian is deeply honored. This time, he invited you to come. In addition to letting you communicate with each other, Zhang should also explain the purpose of this competition."
When he saw all the martial artists, he sat for a meal, but everyone had almost finished eating. Zhang Shuo, who was sitting at the table in the middle, stood up and said. He first greeted him again, and then explained to everyone the purpose, rules and intention of this thing.
"Forty years ago, the Western powers used opium to open the door of China that had been closed for more than two hundred years. From then on, the demons of the great powers danced around, making the land of China scattered and were about to fall into a place of doom."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shuo himself couldn't help but fall into the grief and anger of learning modern history. When he came to this era, he did these things, in addition to rewriting the development of the world and obtaining space-time energy, he also wanted to do something in this era.
Of course, it would be strange if Zhang Shuo was unhappy as he saw the rapid increase in space-time energy. This is his foundation. In addition to exploring other worlds, it should also be used to restore the functions of the Lord God.
He brewed his emotions and then said, "What's even more hateful is that the court is corrupt and incompetent, and only knows how to compromise again and again, give in again and again, cede land, pay compensation, and sign various treaties that are powerless and humiliating! China has become a semi-colonial country, and all regions except the Forbidden City are all back gardens for foreigners to act as a blessing! Now, in order to defeat the self-confidence of our Chinese, the great powers have held various forms of competition again and again, showing off their powers again and again, trying to break our martial arts myths spiritually and physically! This time, Zhang spent a lot of money on his phone to tell the Western powers that we Chinese are definitely not the sick husbands of East Asia!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shuo drank a bowl of wine and threw it on the ground. All the people here were warriors, and they were passionate. After hearing Zhang Shuo's passionate words, they wanted to compete immediately and teach the fighters of various powers and countries a lesson. This has nothing to do with martial arts cultivation, but just the bloodiness of being a warrior.
"Although we are full of talents in this martial arts competition, you don't know how to use foreign martial arts skills, and you don't know that there must be no rules. Let's follow me to the second floor to watch."
After saying that, Zhang Shuo stood up and walked towards the second floor. At this time, the tables and chairs had been removed on the second floor, leaving an octagonal ring. This ring was changed by Zhang Shuo based on the boxing ring and the octagonal cage. After all, he must have his own logo.
Then, Zhang Shuo walked to the ring and showed everyone a foreign fighting technique. At least he would not be at a loss during the competition. Of course, when showing, he would have to ask some martial artists to practice, but now Zhang Shuo is close to 5.0 in physique, and even using foreign fighting skills, he will crush these martial artists. However, on the one hand, he can learn from different martial arts skills by himself. On the other hand, he can better demonstrate foreign fighting skills. This is hard to say that he has not used all his strength. Even so, it shocked the martial arts masters, including Huang Feihong.
Some time ago, some martial artists who came here were naturally inappropriate, and they wanted to challenge Zhang Shuo, the initiator of the martial arts competition. At first, some people underestimated Zhang Shuo's young age, and there were even dozens of people coming to challenge in a day. Among them, there were many martial arts masters who came to compete, such as the Big Sword King and the Five Kings of Zhengyi, and Huo Yuanjia's father, Hondi, etc.
