Chapter 71: Chapter 69 Preaching and Teaching
After finalizing the broad directions with Wu Li, Liu Wenhan didn’t delve into the specifics, just as he had previously stated—he was only there to provide support, not to interfere with detailed instructions.
That evening, Liu Yuanbo took the initiative to find Wu Li. It seemed Liu Wenhan had already discussed the matter with him in advance, so he excitedly sought out Wu Li to plan the future development of the boxing gym.
Eventually, the two decided to restructure Bo Yuan Media Culture Co., Ltd, separating the five fitness clubs, which would become personal assets of Liu Yuanbo. The company would retain only one Bo Yuan Boxing Gym, with Wu Li adding an investment of 30 million for a 67% stake and Liu Yuanbo adding an investment of 10 million for a 33% stake.
Wu Li would serve as chairman and Liu Yuanbo as general manager. Liu Yuanbo didn’t mind this arrangement at all. He knew that if it weren’t for Wu Li, his father would never have changed his mind to support him in the fight business. Therefore, he had no objections to Wu Li holding controlling shares of the company. He simply hoped to cooperate well with his master and jointly grow the company stronger and larger.
"Master, we can definitely make Bo Yuan Boxing Gym into a nationally renowned brand in the future!"
In the hotel room, Liu Yuanbo exclaimed excitedly.
"Mhm," Wu Li nodded his head, "However, I have to return to Chuhua City first."
"Ah?" Liu Yuanbo was surprised. "Why are you going back there? There’s a lot of work here that can’t be done without you, like teaching gym members, opening branch locations, and the advertisement shooting with Haohan Fitness."
Wu Li gave a helpless wry smile, "I need to go back for my final exams..."
Liu Yuanbo: "..."
It was only then that he remembered his master was younger than him and currently in college.
"So, you still have two years until graduation, right? Do you plan to commute between these places for the next two years?"
Wu Li sighed. With his current fortune and fame, not having a college degree wouldn’t make much difference, but dropping out mid-college didn’t sit right with him, and his parents certainly wouldn’t agree either.
Wu Li’s parents normally didn’t check Mo Yin, nor did they follow Weibo or pay attention to fighting competitions, so they were not aware of Wu Li’s current situation. However, Wu Li couldn’t guarantee that relatives and friends around his parents wouldn’t come across news about him online and inform his parents.
His parents had disapproved when Wu Li started learning boxing from his grandfather. After Wu Li caused trouble and hurt others in fights outside, his parents completely forbade such behavior. They went through a lot of effort to ensure that Wu Li got accepted into Beichuan University. If they found out he was giving up his studies for martial arts, Wu Li figured his parents would be infuriated to the point of falling ill.
Although Wu Li could use entrepreneurship as an excuse and even show the money he earned, he knew that to his parents, no amount of money was as reassuring as obtaining a university diploma.
His parents definitely wanted him to complete college. So, if possible, Wu Li still planned to finish his degree, obtain his bachelor’s certificate, and garner a reputation for excelling in both scholarship and martial arts.
"I was thinking of opening a Bo Yuan Boxing Gym in Chuhua City too, so if I go back to school, I could also take care of the gym there," Wu Li said.
Liu Yuanbo nodded, "That makes sense. We’ll definitely need to open a branch here in Qi City, since your current fame is most effective here. Then, the second branch can be in Chuhua City. After all, everyone knows you study there."
"Alright, let’s put the company’s business aside for now and talk about your personal matters," said Wu Li.
"Mine?" Liu Yuanbo puzzled.
Wu Li smiled, "You’ve called me ’master’ so many times, but I haven’t formally taught you anything yet."
Liu Yuanbo’s eyes widened, his face alight with excitement, "Master, are you going to formally teach me now?"
Wu Li nodded his head, "Before I leave, I’ll teach you all the methods of body training, and then I’ll teach you the fists."
Liu Yuanbo’s expression was one of excitement, "Body training?"
Wu Li smiled and waved his hand, "It’s not as magical as you think. It’s just standing postures, breathing methods, and a series of techniques that use medicinal methods to enhance physical qualities."
As Wu Li spoke, he stood up and assumed a Three Body Formation before Liu Yuanbo.
"The body training methods of Xingyi Fist are divided into Bone Strengthening, Muscle Strengthening, and Marrow Strengthening. Generally speaking, the best effects come from starting to learn martial arts at a young age, but children’s bodies are still growing, and their bones are still developing. At this time, bone training can easily damage the body, so we start with muscle training, mainly relying on standing postures."
"Through stance work, you train your body to become more agile, increasing flexibility and control power; for example, the Great Saint Posture in Monkey Form is aimed at training the eyes and ears. Once mastered, not only will the eyes and ears become more flexible, but since the area behind the ears is connected to the trigeminal nerve, being hit there often causes one to faint. However, if the Great Saint Posture is performed well, the muscles in that area will strengthen and naturally, the resistance to hits will increase."
As Wu Li spoke, his eyes moved from side to side, first looking left, then right, and his ears moved in sync with his eyes. He indeed resembled a lively and lifelike monkey.
"Another example is practicing the Tiger Form Station, which is mainly about training the muscles around the base of the thumb. You practice until the area bulges with muscle like a block of iron upon exertion, and becomes exceptionally soft when the hand is relaxed."
Wu Li suddenly reached out with his right hand towards Liu Yuanbo, who was sitting on the couch, startling Liu Yuanbo into instinctively recoiling backward. When Wu Li’s right hand stopped, Liu Yuanbo noticed the bulge of muscle at the base of Wu Li’s right thumb, full of power.
"Then there’s the Eagle Form Posture, similar to the Tiger Form, but it mainly trains the muscles at the pads of the fingers."
As he spoke, Wu Li extended his right hand into a claw and slightly opened it, "Once mastered, you can skillfully control the muscles at your fingertips. When necessary, contract the muscles under the pads, leaving only the nails exposed. Then a gentle swipe becomes a lethal weapon! Of course, I don’t yet have that degree of control power."
Liu Yuanbo observed Wu Li’s fingers closely and saw the muscles under his nails contracting slightly, making it seem as if his nails had suddenly grown longer.
Wu Li withdrew his right hand and said slowly, "Standing postures mainly involve moving muscles and adjusting joints. All of the Xingyi Twelve Forms can be used for standing postures. If you can master these Twelve Forms, your control over your body will reach a high level. Once the body has fully grown, you can start Bone Training, which is mainly practicing the Three Body Formation, moving the spine, combined with special breathing methods, and applying and ingesting medicinal concoctions that can achieve the effect of stretching tendons and extracting bones."
"Your body has already fully grown, so you can do Bone and Muscle Strengthening simultaneously."
After finishing his explanation, Wu Li handed Liu Yuanbo a USB drive, "Recorded on this are all the practices for Bone and Muscle Strengthening in Xingyi Fist, and also special medicinal recipes for stretching tendons and extracting bones, which you can keep for practice."
Liu Yuanbo accepted it with both hands, feeling the thrill of having acquired a Secret Martial Arts Manual.
In reality, stretching tendons and extracting bones is the most essential content of Internal Fist body training, capable of compensating for deficiencies in a person’s innate physique, increasing their height and arm length, and strengthening their physique. As the saying goes, ’A tendon extended by an inch gives ten times the power,’ and ’Saturated marrow produces prominent bones.’ After such bone training, a person’s foundation in combat becomes much stronger than that of the average person.
In the past, these were guarded secrets, with martial artists not even willing to share them with their own children, resulting in their near extinction today.
Wu Li had redeemed Xingyi Fist from the system anew, so he was naturally privy to these legacies. What once was content worth thousands per word, he now handed over to Liu Yuanbo without hesitation.
For one thing, Liu Yuanbo had wholeheartedly acknowledged him as his master, and Wu Li was certainly not one to hide and hoard knowledge; for another, Traditional Martial Arts had declined to this day, with very few knowing the true legacy. If he did not open the doors wide to teach the real thing, in a few years, Traditional Martial Arts might only be seen in novels.
"Come on, I’ll teach you how to stand postures first," Wu Li said to Liu Yuanbo.
