How amazing!" At this moment, the students no longer dared to underestimate Ying Faming. They knew that this seemingly older man was a true master.
"What incredible Tai Chi kung fu!" When Huang Liang arrived on the second floor, he happened to see Ying Faming use leverage to throw a student to the ground. Huang Liang's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of eagerness.
"Who are you?" Ying Faming turned around and, upon seeing Huang Liang, instinctively frowned. He sized up Huang Liang, sensing the aura of a martial artist about him.
"He's Huang Liang, the teacher's disciple!" the students around them chimed in.
"Wing Chun, disciple of Huang Wen, Huang Liang, please enlighten me!" Huang Liang stepped forward and cupped his hands at Ying Faming, looking somewhat impatient.
This was the difference between Huang Liang and Huang Wen at this time. Huang Liang had received the Ip Man character package, which only contained Ip Man's abilities, not his martial arts cultivation. Coupled with Huang Liang's youthful exuberance, it was natural for him to be impulsive and eager for a fight.
"Tai Chi Chuan, Ying Faming." Ying Faming did not underestimate Huang Liang just because he was Huang Wen's disciple. Instead, he respectfully cupped his hands at Huang Liang and then stood in a Tai Chi starting posture.
Huang Liang took a deep breath, adopting the Wing Chun starting stance directly opposite Ying Faming. The two stood facing each other, and eventually, Huang Liang couldn't resist making the first move. His Wing Chun had just made rapid progress, and he naturally wanted to test it out.
"Swish!" Huang Liang attacked with a probing hand from the centerline of his chest, aiming directly for Ying Faming's head. Ying Faming, unhurried, easily parried Huang Liang's punch. Huang Liang seized this opportunity to engage in close-quarters combat, but Ying Faming entangled his arms. Huang Liang changed his moves again, and the two engaged in a Tai Chi push-hands against Wing Chun chi sao, their footwork and body positions constantly shifting. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
"Swish!" Although Huang Liang's strength was greater than Ying Faming's, he was already entangled by Ying Faming due to his initial eagerness to attack. In the end, he was pushed away by Ying Faming's technique of 'four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds.'
"Again!" Huang Liang's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward once more. This time, he utilized the more flexible characteristics of Wing Chun, not giving Ying Faming a chance to entangle him, constantly using tan sao and bong sao to neutralize Ying Faming's attacks.
When the tables were turned, it was no longer so easy for Ying Faming to find an opening in Huang Liang's offense and entangle him.
"Bang!" In the end, Ying Faming's ban lan chui was blocked by Huang Liang's ge sao. Huang Liang retreated half a step, and Ying Faming's expression clearly showed some fatigue.
"Phew! I can't deny that I'm getting old. You young people really have endless energy!" Ying Faming let out a long, turbid breath and said with a wry smile, "Your strength is formidable, truly worthy of being Huang Wen's disciple..."
"Master Ying didn't lose either. In fact, I was pushed back twice. So, strictly speaking, I'm the one who lost," Huang Liang said with a smile, having gained some insights from this fight.
Although Huang Liang did not use his full strength in this fight, at least his internal energy and acupoint striking were not employed, yet Huang Liang's physical fitness alone was already at an extraordinary level. It was quite incredible that Ying Faming could gain the upper hand in the fight.
"How did you do it? I clearly feel that my body has reached a bottleneck, and no matter how much I train, I can't make any further progress..." Ying Faming's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Huang Liang and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, you'll have to ask Master about that. He taught me well." Huang Liang scratched his head. Since he didn't know how to explain it to Ying Faming, he could only push everything onto Huang Wen. But what Huang Liang said wasn't entirely wrong!
Just as Huang Liang and Ying Faming finished their fight on the second floor, an uninvited guest arrived at the Wing Chun martial arts gym downstairs: Tony Stark, driving a luxury car.
"No, no matter the cost today, I must get the research rights to that alien spaceship!" Tony Stark muttered in a low voice after getting out of the car, taking a deep breath.
"Sir, I'm not too optimistic about your chances. Furthermore, I suggest that the first thing you do is to seek help from Huang Wen to see if he can help you resolve your physical issues. After all, he was the first to discover this matter..." Jarvis's voice poured cold water on his enthusiasm from the side.
"Hmph! I don't believe there's anyone who can't be swayed by money!" Tony Stark snorted defiantly.
"Apologies, sir, according to the database, most of Huang Wen's assets come from Stark Industries stock. In other words, he's not short on money at all," Jarvis countered again.
"He's a shareholder in our Stark Industries?" Tony Stark's eyes lit up slightly. "We're all family, so wouldn't it be easier..."
"The Sherman family and the Fisk family transferred a large sum of money to Huang Wen during the recent stock market fluctuations. He is not a shareholder in Stark Industries. I apologize for disappointing you, sir..." Jarvis said without a hint of apology in his voice.
"The Sherman family?" Tony Stark thought of Colonel Rhodes's support for him earlier and decided not to pursue these matters, considering it a repayment for the Sherman family's support, even though Tony Stark felt he didn't need that support at all.
Tony Stark pushed all distracting thoughts aside and walked towards the Wing Chun martial arts gym. However, as soon as he reached the first-floor gym equipment hall, he was stopped by John.
"You're not a student. What are you here for?" John sized up Tony Stark. He had been at the Wing Chun martial arts gym for quite some time, and while he couldn't recognize every student, he would at least find them somewhat familiar. He didn't recognize Tony Stark, or rather, there was no flashy guy wearing sunglasses like him in the Wing Chun martial arts gym.
"You don't know me?" Tony Stark took off his sunglasses, annoyed. He hadn't expected to be stopped by a mere security guard. That's right, in his eyes, John was the Wing Chun martial arts gym's security guard, even though a martial arts gym typically wouldn't need one, but Tony Stark clearly lacked this common sense.
"Be careful, sir, the other party is suspected to be a mutant!" Jarvis's voice warned in Tony Stark's ear.
"Hmm?" Tony Stark raised an eyebrow at the remark, his expression unchanged, and simply looked at John and said, "I'm here to see Huang Wen."
"Sorry, I haven't received any visitor information here." John glanced at his watch and remained blocking Tony Stark's path.
"Cough, cough!" Tony Stark coughed twice, signaling Jarvis to fabricate visitor information so he could get in.
"Apologies, sir, intrusion failed..."
