Chapter 19

Listening to the first part of Wang Zhong's comments, Liang Dalong felt somewhat ashamed and lowered his head. Over the years, he had struggled in the entertainment industry, appearing in several TV shows, and some even compared him to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Ti Daolong, calling them the "Four Little Dragons" of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

However, Liang Dalong, who was approaching middle age, knew that he was actually just a semi-famous minor celebrity. After the ban by the Taiwanese authorities, he had become even more destitute!

An expert's move reveals their skill. Seeing the level of the other contestants, Liang Dalong knew that his basic skills and routines were the worst among them. Being able to persist until now was nothing short of a miracle.

But Wang Zhong's subsequent words made Liang Dalong feel like crying.

The young judge in front of him understood him!

Liang Dalong felt a surge of emotion, ready to dedicate himself to someone who truly understood him!

When he heard that Wang Zhong was willing to take him as a disciple, Liang Dalong looked at Wang Zhong in a daze. Although Wang Zhong was very young, even a few years younger than himself, his status in Hong Kong's martial arts community was not low.

The direct descendant of the Nine Palace Sword School and the Sun Family Tai Chi!

The youngest council member of the Chinese Martial Arts Association!

The man who defeated the Thai boxing king, Bu Xin!

Wang Zhong, surrounded by a halo of achievements, was fully qualified to open a school and take disciples, but he currently had no disciples.

If Liang Dalong agreed, he would be Wang Zhong's first disciple!

"Agree to it!"

"Agree to it!"

"Agree to it!"

The waves of shouts from the audience brought Liang Dalong out of his daze.

"I agree!"

Liang Dalong said excitedly.

"Yes!"

Wang Zhong also jumped up from behind the judges' seats, waving his fists vigorously, his excitement evident.

The atmosphere at the scene was reignited by Wang Zhong's passionate expression and actions, with the audience's cheers rising higher and higher!

Wang Zhong proactively opened his arms and gave Liang Dalong a big hug.

"Believe in me, you are the best!"

Dozens of flashbulbs captured this memorable moment.

Council member Wang Zhong of the Chinese Martial Arts Association took a disciple at the Hong Kong Youth Martial Arts Competition!

This was absolutely a very explosive topic!

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Li Zheng, Chen Ting'en, and others all congratulated Wang Zhong.

"Too touching, Council member Wang Zhong taking Xiao Long as a disciple is both unexpected and not unexpected. Because gold will shine wherever it is. Congratulations to Council member Wang Zhong, congratulations to Liang Dalong! I hope that under Council member Wang Zhong's guidance, Liang Dalong will reach new heights in martial arts. We firmly believe and look forward to it! Young people who love martial arts, strive and fight, because the next Liang Dalong could be you!"

Zeng Xinwei's inspiring voice echoed again, and the young people with martial arts dreams kept roaring to the sky, as if only this could release their passion and enthusiasm.

The organizers of the Hong Kong Youth Martial Arts Competition were excited to see the scene, which had become a huge hit!

The director of Hong Kong TVB was also excited, as the ratings had just increased by 5 points, reaching a terrifying 18.5%.

One out of every five TVs in Hong Kong was tuned to the Hong Kong Youth Martial Arts Competition!

Wang Zhong quietly watched the frenzied crowd, understanding why they were so excited. Liang Dalong's opportunity was a vivid example of a grassroots success story!

The struggling people of Hong Kong saw a glimmer of hope!

As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded!

"Please, contestant Liang Dalong, go to the backstage to rest. Next, we welcome the most popular contestant, Danny!"

Zeng Xinwei glanced at the organizing committee, received a positive response, and promptly announced the final contestant, Danny.

Danny's profile was placed in front of the judges.

"Mother Mai Chan, Mai Chan, disciple of Mr. Fu Yonghui!"

Chen Ting'en looked at Danny with some shock. No wonder his Tai Chi skills were so proficient; he came from a prestigious lineage.

"Few may know Mr. Fu Yonghui, but his father was one of the Northern Five Tigers and the founder of the Nanjing Central National Martial Arts Institute. The Fu School's martial arts encompass the three internal schools of Chinese boxing (Tai Chi, Bagua, and Xingyi) and Wudang Sword. To be honest, I have some connection with this young man!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Chen Ting'en's face showed understanding. Sun Family Tai Chi also integrated the essence of the three schools, and Wang Zhong was a descendant of the Wudang Sword School.

It could be said that the two schools of martial arts had many similarities.

Danny's Tai Chi was very beautiful, incorporating long and short strikes, making it more visually appealing. The audience often burst into applause.

But Wang Zhong's frown deepened, and Chen Ting'en, one of the Eight Kings of Chenjiagou, also lost his smile.

As the saying goes, amateurs see the excitement, but experts see the essence.

"Are you Danny?"

Danny, who had grown up in the United States, also had an English name, Danny.

"Yes!"

Danny was only in his twenties, exuding a sharp and proud aura.

"I read your resume. You are the son of the martial arts master Mai Chan, and you studied Sanda routines at the Beijing Shichahai Sports Team. You are skilled in combat and have won martial arts championships in the United States. However, after watching your martial arts performance, I feel very disappointed and heartbroken. The Fu School's Tai Chi is a unique gem in Chinese martial arts. Mr. Fu Yonghui and your mother, Ms. Mai Chan, are respected martial artists. Unfortunately, the Fu School's legacy is being destroyed by you!"

Wang Zhong looked at Danny with a pained expression.

"What gives you the right to say that!"

Danny looked at Wang Zhong with defiance. This man, who was only a few years older than himself, had no right to look down on him.

"You haven't grasped the essence of the Fu School's martial arts, yet you went to learn karate, taekwondo, and free fighting, ending up with a mishmash!"

Wang Zhong angrily rebuked him, feeling heartbroken.

"Chinese martial arts have been ruined by people like you!"

"What's wrong with embracing diversity? You are just being narrow-minded. Chinese martial arts have been held back by people like you!"

Perhaps others would be intimidated by Wang Zhong's status and position, but Danny, who grew up in the United States, had a sense of equality and freedom and did not care about these things.

"I am not against you learning from other schools, but your foundation is not solid, and you are not ready to integrate the skills of various schools!"

Wang Zhong looked at the defiant Danny and explained seriously.

"What's the point of all this talk? Let's see who is better in a real fight!"

Danny took a free fighting stance and provocatively beckoned to Wang Zhong with his fingers.

"Awesome!"

The atmosphere at the scene exploded again.

Zeng Xinwei looked helplessly at the organizing committee, whose leaders were sweating profusely. The situation had taken an unexpected turn.

The judges, including Li Zheng, Zhu Houde, and Sun Chuanfa, all had changed expressions. Danny's behavior was not only a challenge to Wang Zhong but also a challenge to the judges and, by extension, the entire Chinese Martial Arts Association!

Chen Ting'en, though he had a good impression of Danny, was now furious. After all, martial artists valued loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and integrity!

"Who do you think you are, daring to challenge Master Wang? Your mother would be a better match!"

Liang Dalong, who was resting backstage, saw Danny challenge Wang Zhong and immediately wanted to go on stage.

Wang Zhong gently waved his hand, stopping the judges who wanted to take action.

"Danny, I accept your challenge. To avoid accusations of bullying, I will use only one move!"

As Wang Zhong stepped down, the camera did not leave him for a moment. His words were broadcast live throughout the stadium and to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Are you serious? Master Wang is only using one move, but Danny looks so strong!"

"Master Wang is the best!"

"I think he's just boasting!"

"Master Wang's words are a bit too big!"

...

"Hmph!"

Danny took his stance, coldly looking at Wang Zhong, his nostrils flaring and his muscles tensed.

Seeing Wang Zhong stand ready, Danny stepped forward, using his waist to generate power, and punched fiercely at Wang Zhong's chest. This punch used all of Danny's strength, and he was confident that it could even kill a bull!

"Your Wing Chun's straight punch, you've learned too many styles!"

Wang Zhong commented, but his hands moved quickly. He raised his palm and lightly cut Danny's wrist. The wrist is a crucial point in the human body, and if caught, even the most skilled martial artist could only use a fraction of their strength.
