Chapter 9 Clear thinking and first place in the competition
"Is it such a small thing? Besides, I was lucky enough to beat him in one and a half moves. This also proves that he taught me 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, and he will have to get this face back sooner or later. I guess he will be sparring with you again in the next few days." Li Xinzhu looked at Wang An with a strange look.
"Then 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, why should I spoil him?"
"Young man, don't be so arrogant!"
"How can you be called a young man if you are not angry?"
"Well, based on your thoughts, 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.
Maybe it's true what Li Xinzhu said, he won't be able to stay here much longer.
The next two days were uneventful, and Wang An had mastered the power-generating techniques of Tai Chi.
This day is the weekend, and there are more students coming to the martial arts hall than usual. Basically, everyone who can come is here.
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 is 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.”
After hearing this, Li Xinzhu 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 simply wanted to take this opportunity to gain 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, thinking that if he could defeat Wang An, wouldn't he be the best among this class of students?
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 backwards to remove it.
The 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.
"Accept." Wang Anyi cupped his hand.
"Awesome!" The young man raised his thumbs in praise.
The second push was too strong, and Wang An took the opportunity to stumble and almost fell to the ground, but Wang An held him up.
In the third and fourth place, there was no doubt that Wang An won.
Then the winners of the four groups competed against each other.
When I first came into contact with Wang An's competitor, I 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 had straightened instantly. It bounced, and a burst of power suddenly burst out. He took two steps back before he had time to 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 filled with waves.
During the fight just now, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, a picture he had practiced thousands of times.
The strength suddenly started to follow the red line on the picture. The strength came from the feet, and instantly moved along the waist, back and arms, and shot out in one fell swoop.
Then the scene just now happened.
Now if he were asked to repeat the same 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 put their arms together.
"Well, this guy has some skills." The man thought to himself.
The so-called expert can tell whether there is any force 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 behind this looseness, power may burst out at any time.
He pushed his hands carefully to test.
Tai Chi can draw a circle horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The White Crane Spreading Its Wings is also drawing a circle.
What you see are the opponent's hands and feet, and what you feel is the force coming from the arm.
After a short period of testing, the other party started to take action.
He hooked and pressed, trying to stabilize Wang An's arm. Wang An's arm retracted and shook, not moving forward but retreating.
The opponent kicked his foot, blocked his arm with one hand, and slapped his chest with the other hand.
Tai Chi Single Whip Palm,
Wang An had seen Yang Xianhua use this trick before, and had seen it on video many times.
As soon as the opponent raised his hand and turned his elbow, Wang An had already guessed his next move before his arm came out, 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.
Kick, kick, kick, the man took three steps back with a look of shock. Yang Zan, who was the referee on the side, was also stunned.
"good!"
Someone among the students watching on the sidelines shouted.
"Accept." Wang An cupped his fists and raised his hands.
"You defeated Liang Hong in the competition and gained a little bit."
Tai Chi experience 20.
Liang Hong quickly put away the surprise on his face, smiled, and returned to the crowd.
Yang Zan announced the result with a smile. Wang An won the first place in the Tai Chi competition. Amid sparse applause, Wang An took the prize from Yang Zan's hand.
"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 brother 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 ask you to spar again and make you lose twice in a row, which would be even better if it makes you look foolish in public."
"Is it just such a small thing?"
"As for some generous people, like me, they won't care about this trivial matter.
But for some people who are petty and care about face very much. Losing face is a big deal and you have to get it back." Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
