The following afternoon, in a bedroom set up as a training room.
A man and a woman are rapidly exchanging blows.
After a while.
The woman was kicked away by the man.
But the woman showed no sign of discouragement or dissatisfaction; instead, she excitedly got up from the ground.
Yes, the couple is Gao Yan and Gao Weilan.
"Teacher Gao, how is it? Have I made great progress?"
Gao Weilan looked at Gao Yan and asked.
Gao Yan said, "The current you is more than capable of handling the original five versions of yourself!"
"Hehe, that's all thanks to your guidance. Oh, and your medicinal wine is also very effective!"
Gao Weilan smiled and said, "I already played against our Captain Wang yesterday. Although I lost, Captain Wang said that what I lack now is practical experience. In fact, my strength has already surpassed his!"
Gao Yan said, "So, it seems that Captain Wang has already accepted you. From now on, you can work with him on major cases!"
Gao Weilan nodded: "That's right. Captain Wang said that if there's a big case next time, I'll be allowed to join!"
"Congratulations! You've finally achieved your wish!" Gao Yan said again.
"Thank you, Ms. Gao. Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner!" Gao Weilan extended an invitation.
"Not tonight, I have plans!"
Gao Yan shook his head; he had made plans with Liu Yun that evening.
night.
Tianyun Club.
Inside the restaurant's private room, Gao Yan and Liu Yun ate and chatted.
This time, it was Gao Yan who took the initiative to invite Liu Yun.
"Mr. Liu, I would like to know the specific time and location of the betting match!"
Gao Yan said.
"That's no secret. The duel will be held on August 15th in a small town in Myanmar!" Liu Yun said.
Hearing this timeframe, Gao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He still had a month left, and with his current learning ability, he was fully capable of turning himself into a jade gambling expert in just over a month.
"Mr. Gao, what have you thought about it? Are you willing to cooperate with us?" Liu Yun asked with a smile.
"Okay, but I have one condition!"
Gao Yandao said.
"Speaking!"
"I need information on identifying rough jadeite!" Gao Yan said. Rough jadeite was one of the Qin family's main sources of income, and they had trained jadeite gambling experts. Their information on this subject must be very comprehensive. Asking them for the information would definitely be easier than collecting it themselves!
"No problem, I can arrange for someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. However, we do have a small request!"
What are the requirements?
"One month from now, we'll have a competition with the jade gambling experts from the Qin family!"
"No problem!"
After discussing business, Gao Yan and Liu Yun chatted casually for a while.
The main topic of discussion was matters within the martial arts world.
Liu Yun himself is from the Qin family, a martial arts family, and his cultivation level is not low, reaching the early stage of Dark Force. However, his understanding of the martial arts world is far superior to that of Li Feng.
Gao Yan said, "Brother Liu, I've heard people say that the peak of our martial arts was during the Republic of China era, and that the martial arts world has declined since then. Is that really the case?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun looked at Gao Yan with some surprise: "Who told you that?"
"Ahem, I've heard it from the Daoist tradition, isn't that true?" Gao Yan said.
"Of course not!"
Liu Yun chuckled and said, "The reason why everyone thinks that the Republic of China era was a peak period for martial arts is because the Republic of China era produced many grandmaster-level martial arts masters, while in this era, there is not a single grandmaster, right?"
Gao Yan nodded subconsciously.
Liu Yun continued, "Actually, there are more martial arts masters in the present day than not. There are two main reasons why there are not many martial arts masters today. First, we live in the age of firearms. No matter how strong a martial arts master is, can he be stronger than firearms?"
Gao Yan nodded again, agreeing that this was indeed the case.
Liu Yun continued, "Secondly, our Great Xia is now peaceful and prosperous, and martial arts masters have no place to use their skills. In addition, chivalrous people use their martial arts to break the law, so the country will naturally not deliberately promote martial arts!"
At this point, Liu Yun paused: "As for the martial arts world today compared to the martial arts world in the Republic of China, it is definitely stronger than it was back then. You should know that the poor are scholars and the rich are martial artists. Martial artists must be able to eat their fill and eat well. In the Republic of China, how many ordinary people could eat their fill? If they couldn't even eat their fill, how could they train in martial arts?"
But things are different now. Even the poorest families can afford to eat their fill, and slightly better-off families, while not eating meat every meal, can certainly have meat every few days. Therefore, the environment for practicing martial arts now is far superior to that of the Republic of China era!
At this moment, Gao Yan expressed his doubts: "Since the martial arts of our era are stronger than those of the Republic of China, why do most people on the internet think that traditional martial arts are inferior? Haven't you martial arts families ever thought about vindicating traditional martial arts?"
In recent years, many traditional martial arts masters have appeared on the internet, but as it turns out, these masters are just clowns.
This has led countless Chinese people to believe that traditional martial arts are ineffective and are just a bunch of deceptive tricks.
Liu Yun smiled and said, "The reason is actually very simple. The country does not encourage it. Secondly, why should a true strong person care about the clamor of clowns? You may not understand this, so let me give you an example. Just like, would an adult care about the clamor of kindergarten children?"
At this point, Liu Yun sighed softly in his heart: "The biggest reason is that times have changed. Our Great Xia Kingdom does not need to become strong through military force, but there are still many experts in the army and police force!"
"I see!"
Gao Yan suddenly realized.
At this moment, Liu Yun asked with some doubt, "Brother Gao's strength has reached the Dark Force level. Your master must also be a master. Didn't he mention these things?"
