Chapter 1496 This is Kung Fu! This is Qigong
If Xiao Peng had said this before, Vincent would have thought he was exaggerating, but after seeing Xiao Peng's kick just now, Vincent chose to believe what he said.
"You...what school do you belong to?" Vincent asked in shock.
Xiao Peng felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this. He couldn't tell Vincent that this was just a simple "One Force Breaks a Hundred Skills"? That didn't sound very impressive at all.
"Hehe, this is our country's Kung Fu!" Xiao Peng said.
Vincent was stunned. "Kung Fu? I've seen Kung Fu before. Isn't that just a performance? Xiao, with all due respect, I think your country's Kung Fu is just a show. It's just for show."
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Of course, the kung fu you see is just fancy stuff. It's more accurate to say that 'modern kung fu' and 'traditional kung fu' are two different concepts. Our ancestors' traditional kung fu, despite having so many different schools, actually has two core values: combat. All kung fu schools are designed to kill. Just like Qi Jiguang said in 'Ji Xiao Xin Shu,' 'Once you've mastered the art, you must test it against an enemy.' What does this mean? It means that to determine the quality of a martial art, confrontation is the key. The Qi Family Army prohibited the performance of various martial arts routines. Actual combat and victory were the foundation of the Qi Family Army back then. Whether it was the 'Qi Family Spear' or the 'Qi Family Sword,' both emphasized simple, practical, one-hit killing techniques. Since the founding of New Daxia, kung fu has become a sport, used for physical training and performance. It's no longer the ancient killing technique."
Vincent was shocked after hearing this and asked, "Why? Isn't this such a pity?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "It's not a pity. It can even be said to be the inevitable result of the progress of the times. Why was Kung Fu considered a killing technique in ancient times? Because public security was poor and wars were frequent. People needed skills to protect themselves. But what about now? We have soldiers defending our country, police maintaining law and order, and ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment. There's no need to learn Kung Fu to kill people anymore. So Kung Fu has changed, retaining its fitness function and gaining more performance value, but losing its killing and defeating function. This is the difference between 'modern Kung Fu' and 'traditional Kung Fu'."
Vincent suddenly realized: "Is this the 'traditional Kung Fu' that focuses on actual combat, rather than the 'modern Kung Fu' that focuses on performance?"
"You're right!" Xiao Peng snapped his fingers.
Vincent said, "Then why was that kick so powerful? This is unscientific!"
Xiao Peng, with an inscrutable expression, said, "The traditional way of generating force is to use various parts of the body as an axis through rotation. However, our traditional Kung Fu emphasizes 'controlling force with Qi'. To connect force, you must first practice Qi."
"What is Qi?" Vincent asked puzzledly.
"Do you understand Qigong? Qigong!" Xiao Peng spoke without hesitation.
He was talking typical nonsense, but he never expected that his casual remark would cause such an uproar later. Of course, that's all in the future.
Vincent asked, "Xiao, why do you want to promote this skill? If you open a school to accept disciples, there will surely be countless people signing up to learn from you!"
Khedira stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, I'm the first to sign up!"
Xiao Peng asked in return, "Vincent, why should I teach it to others? To promote this skill? That would be the real tragedy—it's a skill that kills people. It's no longer suitable for today's society, so it should just disappear."
Vincent still felt regretful, but Xiao Peng shook his head: "Vincent, don't try to persuade me. I don't want this martial art to be passed down at all, so let it end with me."
"Uh..." Xiao Peng's words blocked all the words Vincent wanted to say.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Vincent said, "Xiao, let's study whether there is a way to subdue him without hurting anyone and still let people see you do it."
He is now certain that even a "devil muscle man" like John Cena cannot withstand the kick that Xiao Peng just gave him, and he will definitely be injured if he is hit.
Xiao Peng shook his head directly: "I can't think of it!"
Khedira said, "Boss, why don't you just let him walk around the field?
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Vincent laughed. "Khedira, you know what? John Cena and I are both 1.85 meters tall and weigh over 250 pounds (114 kilograms). You let Xiao hold him up? Why do you like to embarrass your boss?"
Before Khedira could say anything, Xiao Peng suddenly asked, "Vincent, can John Cena do pull-ups?"
Vincent was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Xiao, how much do you look down on our WWE players? Even if our fighting is fake, the muscles of these players are all trained by real people. You can easily ask Miss Yasukawa Edou and Miss Iwatani Mayu to do 50 pull-ups in one breath."
Khedira's other coach is Mayu Iwatani, also a Japanese female wrestler, who also has a "peerless beauty" in Vincent's eyes.
Alas, there is still a gap in aesthetics.
In fact, both Anchuan Edou and Iwatani Mayu are not ugly, but what Xiao Peng cannot accept is their body shape: both of them are on the "plump" type, with the "big breasts and big buttocks" body shape that Westerners like, but for a decent Da Xia person like Xiao Peng, this body shape is indeed not very pleasing.
Seeing Xiao Peng's disbelief, Vincent took off his coat and said, "I'm already over seventy, but it's not difficult for me to do fifty pull-ups for you in one breath."
After saying that, he walked directly to the horizontal bar, swinging his hands behind his back and walking with a "don't care about anyone" gait. Everyone knows that UFC's "mouth cannon" Conor has a very arrogant walking posture. In fact, Conor's gait is imitating Vincent.
Xiao Peng stopped him: "Vincent, don't go."
Vincent was puzzled, and Xiao Peng directly put his hand on his neck: "Grab my wrist and do pull-ups!"
"Are you kidding?" Vincent was stunned.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "You try it."
Vincent grabbed Xiao Peng's wrist doubtfully, and Xiao Peng lifted him up with one hand: "Is this okay?"
"This isn't scientific!" Vincent exclaimed. "How long can you keep doing this?"
Xiao Peng said: "Anyway, you were the first one to give up!"
"Hiss." Vincent gasped, "Is this the power of Qi training?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right!"
Since bragging is tax-free, just brag as much as you can.
He was about to say a few more words when suddenly Bruch came running over in a hurry: "Boss, Kashin called. He has something urgent to talk to you about."
"Kasim's call?" Xiao Peng's face became nervous after hearing this. Could something have happened to Jelena? If something had happened to Jelena, how would he explain it to Chen Zetao?
