More than two months ago, when Xia Yu was at the Spring and Autumn Medical Hall, he encouraged Li Wuyang to establish the Jibudo martial art and gave him financial and material support.
After more than two months, all preparations for the Martial Arts of Ultimate Power had been completed, and Li Wuyang informed Xia Yu through his younger brother Li Wuming after Xia Yu returned.
That day, in the internal martial arts training hall of the Martial Arts of Ultimate Power dojo in Jiulong, Xia Yu, Li Qian, Li Wuming, Li Chunqiu, Yan Shining, Li Wuyang, and others stood outside the arena, watching as dozens of young martial arts disciples in white shirts and black trousers inside the arena were practising their boxing moves in unison.
Between shouts and cries, they kicked and punched in a very neat and swift manner, without any hesitation. Just from the momentum, it was able to give a sense of visual impact.
Some of the disciples of the martial arts school were new recruits, while some were old disciples. They were currently practising the Jibei Dao.
Li Wuyang is not weak in kung fu himself. With the assistance of Li Chunqiu, a rare master of Chinese martial arts in Hong Kong, and Li Wuming, a young master of Chinese martial arts who has gathered the strengths of many schools before, as well as Yan Shining, who often comes over to help out in his spare time,
With the combined efforts of everyone, they have combined the foundations of Xingyi Quan, Ba Ji Quan, Wing Chun, Bagua Zhang, Taijiquan and other kung fu styles to come up with a set of kung fu – Jimo Dao.
The Jimo Dao created now emphasises practical combat and includes a variety of techniques such as kicking, punching, wrestling, grappling, throwing, locking, strangling, counter techniques and acupressure points, with the emphasis on neutralising the opponent in the shortest possible time.
Although these disciples are new to the martial art of Jue Budu, they already know how to fight in a way that looks impressive. At least they can put on a show, but as for actual combat effectiveness, they are still far from being proficient.
If they were older disciples, they would be better because they would have a foundation, but if they wanted to demonstrate the highest level of combat effectiveness, they would probably use Xingyi Quan, not Jue Budu.
After watching for a long time, Xia Yu praised, 'Brother Li, you guys are really amazing, creating a complete set of kung fu in such a short time.'
Li Wuyang smiled, looked at his old father, and said to Xia Yu, 'This is thanks to my father. He has seen almost all kung fu. If it were up to me, even if I created it, it would be full of loopholes.'
'Having an old person in the family is like having a treasure,' Xia Yu laughed.
Li Chunyu smiled and stroked his beard, accepting the praise of the crowd with an open mind.
Just then, after a set of overall boxing techniques was completed, Li Wuyang's face turned cold as he shouted, 'The two-on-two battle begins.' At the sound of the order, the disciples on the field automatically fought with their fellow disciples. The fierce fighting made Xia Yu watch from time to time.
Just then, after a set of integrated boxing techniques had been completed, Li Wuyang gave a cold shout with a stern face: 'The two-on-two battle begins.'
At the command, the disciples on the field automatically fought with their fellow disciples next to them.
The fierce fighting made Xia Yu nod from time to time. Li Qian, who was seeing collective fighting for the first time, widened her eyes and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
'Brother Li, what is the overall situation of the martial arts school now?'
After watching for a long time, Xia Yu asked Li Wuyang.
Li Wuyang blurted out the introduction: 'Because of your funding and venue support, the progress has been very fast. Now there is a martial arts school in each of the 18 districts of Xiangjiang, and one in Macau, for a total of 19 martial arts schools.'
'Now that they haven't opened yet, all the martial arts schools haven't put up their signs yet, but the plaques have all been made and will be put up on the day they open.'
'In terms of manpower, it's all been allocated. I've called back some of my previous disciples. Each martial arts school will have an elite disciple in charge as the branch school master, and they will be assisted by three senior disciples.'
'Although it hasn't opened yet, I've already recruited two hundred new disciples, all of whom have learned the Extreme Martial Way. When it opens, they will be assigned to one of the nineteen martial arts schools to perform the Extreme Martial Way and attract popularity.'
My, my, so if you do the math, there are already more than 200 disciples of the Jue Budos even before it has been officially launched! Xia Yu was a little surprised.
But then he thought, before Li Wuyang had already taught many disciples, and because his was real kung fu and his reputation was not lacking, the standards for recruiting disciples were set very high.
Now that the positioning of the Jiwu Dao is to be promoted to the whole nation, so that everyone in the world knows about it, it is no longer feasible to maintain a high threshold. After lowering the threshold, many people who know that Li Wuming has real kung fu are scrambling to send their children to learn kung fu, and some enthusiastic teenagers are even scrambling to join.
'Since you are ready, then open the school and announce to Xiangjiang the advent of the Jiwu Dao!'
Xia Yu said decisively.
'Then let's do it on June 24th, that's a good day!'
Li Chunyu suddenly spoke up. He was familiar with Xia Yu's resolute and forceful style of work, and after learning that Xia Yu had returned, he had already picked a good date.
Today was the 19th of June, which meant that the school would open five days later, which was still plenty of time.
'Since Master says that day is good, let's set it for that day. As for the specific time, we'll listen to Master,'
Xia Yu said.
'By the way, Brother Li, when the Jiu Wu school opens, have you thought about any ways to make a name for it?'
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu saw Yan Shining unable to hold back his laughter. He was a little surprised and asked, 'Brother Yan, what's wrong?'
Yan Shining glanced at Li Wuyang and said honestly, "Brother Yang is full of bad ideas. He plans to become famous in the most traditional way.'
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's mind flashed with a word, and he asked in surprise, "Kick the door?'
Li Wuyang nodded with a smile and said, 'Yes, I plan to kick the door.'
Seeing his confirmation, Xia Yu's heart was intrigued. In his previous life, he had seen many scenes of kicking a martial arts school in movies, especially Li Lianjie's version of 'Fist of Fury' in which Chen Zhen kicked the Hongkou Martial Arts School.
Xia Yu had been filled with excitement when watching it. Unfortunately, in reality, he had never seen anyone kick a martial arts school before, and he never imagined that it would happen next, so he definitely couldn't miss it!
The term 'kick a martial arts school' comes from Cantonese, and in Mandarin it means to trash the place. He wondered who would be so unlucky as to have Li Wuyang trash their place.
'Brother Li, which martial arts school are you going to kick up?'
Xia Yu asked with interest.
Li Wuyang gave an inexplicable smile and said decisively, 'The Karate School!'
'Karate from the island country?'
'Haha, good choice, it's good to mess with the islanders. Karate is a competitor of Kyokubudo, and if you can defeat the masters of Karate, it will be hard for Kyokubudo not to become famous!'
Xia Yule said with glee.
'Boss, don't be fooled by Yang's innocent appearance, he's actually full of evil. The Kyokubudo Martial Arts School in Wan Chai is located at 18 Stadium Path, So Kon Po, Causeway Bay, directly opposite the Island Karate School.'
'And this karate dojo is the strongest headquarters for karate in the entire Hong Kong. In the building behind it is the Hong Kong Karate Association, the face of karate, which is specifically in charge of karate affairs in Hong Kong and was established in 1974.'
Yan Shining added with a hee-hee laugh.
When Yan Shining said this, not to mention Xia Yu, even Li Qian, who didn't know kung fu, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Xia Yu looked up and down at Li Wuyang, making the latter feel a little uncomfortable.
Xia Yu said in amazement, 'Brother Li, I can't tell at all, awesome, awesome!'
Li Wuyang was indeed cunning enough. As they say, don't hit someone in the face. Li Wuyang did this for his own benefit, directly targeting the face of karate. The martial arts school was opened directly opposite someone else's headquarter, and it also overlooked the administrative body of the Heung Kong Karate Association.
That's not all, he also planned to kick the door down on the day the school opened, intending to make the name of the martial art of the extreme famous by stepping on the corpse of karate.
It was completely a never-ending rhythm, and if it had been set a few decades or even a few centuries ago, it would definitely have resulted in a fatality!
Although it was shameless and sinister enough, I have to say that Xia Yu really liked it.
This is how you should treat the Japanese!
After all, to be honest, the lower and middle classes in the island country have been deeply poisoned by the Bushido spirit, and most of the islanders who know kung fu are right-wingers in the island country who are very hostile towards China.
Perhaps the person in charge of the Hong Kong Karate Headquarters is a war criminal or remnant of the island nation.
When dealing with such people, there is no need to be polite at all, you just have to trample on them and squeeze every last bit of value out of them.
Karate from the island nation is open in Hong Kong, and it goes without saying that the students recruited are all Chinese. Xia Yu is a little resentful of these people, and it is a shame that they have chosen to pay tuition to the islanders instead of going to one of the many martial arts schools in Hong Kong.
It's just as well that Li Wuyang beat some sense into them!
Let them know that the karate that originated on the island is a combination of Chinese kung fu, and that it is ultimately inferior to Chinese kung fu, so that these people who forget their roots will come to their senses.
'Brother Li, don't say anymore, I just have one request, on that day, you must fight hard, and show the might of Chinese kung fu, and the might of martial arts!'
'I'll have Global TV come along that day!'
Xia Yu said loudly.
Li Chunqiu, who had experienced the war years, was very satisfied with Xia Yu's performance. He stroked his long-term effect and told Li Wuyang, 'Yang, listen to Yu. On that day, fight without restraint and let the islanders know whose territory this is! They don't deserve to be unrestrained!'
Both of the most important people had spoken, so what could Li Wuyang say?
What's more, this was his original intention, so he nodded heavily and promised solemnly, 'Don't worry, father, I will show the might of Chinese kung fu.'
After that, everyone expressed their opinions and got busy preparing for the upcoming opening of the Jiwu Martial Arts Academy.
The next day, Li Wuyang sent out invitations to martial arts masters throughout Hong Kong, Macao, and even Southeast Asia, inviting them to visit the opening ceremony of Jiwu Martial Arts Academy on June 24th.
Once the invitations were sent out, the momentum of Jiwu Martial Arts Academy began to build.
Before long, it was the day of the opening ceremony of the Jiwu Martial Arts School!
