Chapter 186: Diligence Can Make Up for One's Shortcomings
Tang Shuo looked at Aunt Wu who was attacking him seriously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Leg techniques are something that every martial artist must learn, and there is a boxing proverb that goes, "If you practice boxing without practicing legs, you're like a reckless person."
Aunt Wu's leg techniques are very exquisite, and it can be seen that she has worked hard on Tan's legs.
Her legs were so fast that it looked as if her toes had not even touched the ground, and her entire body was constantly making various offensive moves in the air.
Tang Shuo stared intently, carefully observing Aunt Wu's changing moves and the connection between each leg technique.
There are roughly three types of Tan Leg: Linxi Tan Leg, Jingwu Tan Leg, Shaolin Tan Leg and Jiaomen Tan Leg. The general styles are very similar, and all follow the principle of "raising the leg no higher than the knee".
Aunt Wu did this so that he could see more clearly, and Tang Shuo naturally would not miss this opportunity.
Aunt Wu wasn't just performing for Tang Shuo; she was constantly on the offensive, because she knew that was the only way to make a deep impression on Tang Shuo.
It seemed that Aunt Wu's movements were endless, and each kick was faster than the last.
Tang Shuo only felt the sound of whistling wind in his ears, and a group of legs in front of him.
He could only try his best to defend continuously, while observing how Aunt Wu kicked and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Now that neither of them is using any strength, there is no reason why the other would be suppressed so badly.
"Be careful."
Aunt Wu, who was about to leap into the air just now, reminded Tang Shuo and then suddenly lowered her body.
After she landed, her offensive did not slow down at all. She kicked Tang Shuo from the side to repel his attack, then suddenly rushed forward and kicked Tang Shuo's knee directly.
Tang Shuo withdrew the leg that was about to be attacked and quickly kicked out with his other leg.
Aunt Wu's Tan legs were already reaching a state of perfection. Tang Shuo admired her, but at the same time, he was also secretly wondering where she came from.
After following the lame master, although he was slightly inferior in physical condition, he never stopped practicing martial arts. After joining 037, he practiced these skills more diligently and fought countless battles with others.
But Aunt Wu was only in her forties, and Tang Shuo had never seen her practice martial arts, so how could she be so skilled?
At this time, he also knew that Aunt Wu was helping him. What he had learned was too complicated, but when fighting against the enemy, he would often use Tan Leg as the main means, or it could be said to be the focus.
Although he would also use some killer moves from other sects at the right time, he never imagined that he could use the moves of all sects as skillfully as Aunt Wu.
Tang Shuo secretly memorized the unique changes in Aunt Wu's leg techniques, and tried his best to use what he learned to resolve them.
Up to this point in the fight, Tang Shuo no longer had any thought of defeating his opponent. He only hoped that Aunt Wu would be gentler when she stopped, and not embarrass him in front of Fang Shirou and Su Ran.
Aunt Wu did not block Tang Shuo's fierce kick, as if she didn't see it at all, and continued to attack Tang Shuo as usual.
Tang Shuo knew that this was not Aunt Wu's negligence, but why didn't the other party respond to his kick?
You have to know that although he did not use any physical strength at this time, he did not hold back at all in his martial arts, and this level of skill was simply not something that could be resisted by the physical body.
While Tang Shuo was puzzled, he saw Aunt Wu, like a rootless duckweed in the water, spinning lightly to avoid Tang Shuo's attack and then punching Tang Shuo in the face.
Snap...
When Tang Shuo saw Aunt Wu suddenly avoid his attack and was still wondering how she did it, he felt pain in his eye sockets.
How can you slap someone in the face?
Tang Shuo felt extremely aggrieved. Is this even reasonable?
Although he didn't rely on his looks to make a living, he was now the CEO of a large enterprise with nearly 10 billion in assets. How could he go out and see people after being hit in the face for no reason? He was looking for death.
Although Aunt Wu held back this time, his eyes should have been swollen by now.
Judging from the feeling, the swelling will not go away in two or three days.
Just as Tang Shuo was about to call for a stop, Aunt Wu took another step forward and caught up with him, so Tang Shuo immediately dodged backwards.
But his speed seemed to be no match for Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu just shook her body briefly and was in front of Tang Shuo in the blink of an eye.
This time, Tang Shuo saw clearly the way Aunt Wu attacked. Aunt Wu should have used the footwork in Tai Chi, but it was a little different from the footwork in Tai Chi.
To put it simply, the footwork used by Aunt Wu was derived from Tai Chi, but it was a bit more ethereal and mysterious than Tai Chi.
There is only one word to describe Tai Chi combat... stickiness.
In the industry, it is called "smooth delivery without losing the top", which mainly aims to lead to missed shots and use the opponent's force to strike. Its boxing style also follows the application of mechanical principles such as the principle of combined force, the principle of leverage, conservation of momentum and the principle of inertia.
The footwork associated with Tai Chi is naturally based on the word "stick".
There are five major schools of Tai Chi: Yang, Wu, Wu, Sun, and He. Each school has slightly different footwork. Tang Shuo had seen some of them before, but this was the first time he could do it as sticky as Aunt Wu.
Tang Shuo noticed the movements of Aunt Wu's feet and imitated her movements in the opposite way.
When Aunt Wu took two steps forward, he took two steps backward. When Aunt Wu turned left, he immediately turned left.
After becoming familiar with two moves, Tang Shuo suddenly discovered that this seemingly simple step was not simple at all.
The most famous footwork in Tai Chi is called "Bagua Circle Step". This set of footwork is created by using the Bagua diagram and direction arrangement based on the principles of Bagua. Its characteristics are free attack and defense, and lightness and freedom.
However, the steps used by Aunt Wu were very different from this set of steps. Tang Shuo was unable to determine the specific difference.
Compared to Tang Shuo's fear of facing a great enemy, Aunt Wu was terrified.
Tang Shuo was able to achieve this after just two simple glances and without any explanation from me. He can really be described as a gifted person.
Aunt Wu shook her head imperceptibly, then slowed down her attack, wanting to let Tang Shuo see more clearly.
Tang Shuo did not waste Aunt Wu's kindness and carefully observed Aunt Wu's steps.
After demonstrating the entire set of footwork twice, Aunt Wu saw that Tang Shuo was already able to break it down and use it, so she stopped demonstrating. She suddenly changed her footwork, rushed towards Tang Shuo, and punched him in the face again.
Snap...
Tang Shuo, who was practicing his footwork and having a lot of fun, never expected that Aunt Wu would attack him again. He was caught off guard and was hit in the face again.
Seeing Aunt Wu take two steps back and suddenly stop, Tang Shuo naturally stopped going up to her and being tortured.
Covering his eye socket that had just been hit by Aunt Wu, Tang Shuo said to Aunt Wu with a sad face: "Thank you, Aunt Wu!"
How could there be such a thing in the world? After being beaten up, you still have to go up and say thank you?
However, Tang Shuo was sincerely grateful to the other party, but of course he was also dissatisfied with Aunt Wu.
Why did he hit the face when there were so many places on the body to hit? And he punched each eye socket!
Aunt Wu nodded and whispered, "You learn this set of steps very quickly."
Hearing the praise from a master like Aunt Wu, Tang Shuo felt somewhat happy.
But just as he was about to humbly express his gratitude, he heard Aunt Wu continue, "Although you're a little slower than I was at the beginning, it's still commendable. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. If you practice this set of footwork diligently for a while, you'll have no problem!"
“…”
Why is it that when it comes to me, the only way to describe my achievements is through hard work? Is my talent really that bad?
The muscles on Tang Shuo's face twitched. Seeing that the two women on the sidelines were trying to suppress their smiles, Tang Shuo immediately realized the injury on his face.
He glanced at everyone dimly, then hurried into the room to check.
After seeing the condition on his face clearly, Tang Shuo's brows didn't relax for the next half day.
After lunch, Tang Shuo couldn't wait to go to the yard to practice the steps he learned in the morning. Aunt Wu, who seemed to be in a good mood, stood by and reminded him from time to time.
