"Master, how should we proceed with the demonstration?"
William Brown looked at Wang Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked with some confusion.
"Bind my feet and then tie my hands!"
Wang Zhong said without hesitation to William Brown.
"That's not possible; you'll lose your means of attack!"
William Brown shook his head, somewhat unwillingly.
"Who told you that only hands and feet can be used to attack?"
Wang Zhong smiled and countered.
"Th-This...!"
William Brown was stumped. Indeed, no one had ever stipulated that only hands and feet could be used to attack. However, for thousands of years, people had always used their hands and feet in combat.
"This is a misconception, a shackle. Instinctive combat is about breaking all shackles, both mental and physical!"
Wang Zhong, sitting cross-legged on the ground, said with a smile.
"Breaking mental shackles is understandable, but how do you break physical shackles? The differences in human physical constitution are genetic, and that's God's domain."
William Brown asked with some doubt.
"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think!"
Wang Zhong smiled and stood up. His arms extended strangely, and in a standing position, his knuckles could touch the ground.
Selena's eyes widened, and she tightly covered her mouth, afraid of screaming.
William Brown was also shocked, stepping back two steps in fright.
"You would certainly say that this doesn't conform to physiological structure, but I really did it, didn't I?"
Wang Zhong's extended arms slowly returned to their normal length.
"Is it ancient Indian yoga?"
Selena asked uncertainly. To maintain her figure, she had learned some yoga in London, but even a yoga master couldn't perform such astonishing movements.
"No, the human body is the most precise instrument in the world. Everyone feels they know themselves very well, but in my view, they don't know themselves at all."
Wang Zhong's thighs extended strangely, and his height increased from 180 cm to 200 cm.
Selena and William Brown stared at Wang Zhong, having experienced too many incredible things today.
"Is 9 seconds the limit of human speed? Is 500 kilograms the limit of human strength? Does a human need to sleep?"
"No, all these answers are negative!"
"Why are humans constrained by these rules? Because humans have never truly understood themselves. Your potential is beyond your imagination! Instinctive combat is about breaking these rules and unleashing true potential!"
"The word 'limit' is the greatest constraint on human ability. True strength comes from the mind, not the body!"
"As long as your mind can achieve it, nothing in heaven or earth can obscure your vision!"
Wang Zhong's muscles, bones, and tendons writhed, performing various movements that defied physiological structure.
William Brown and Selena stared blankly at Wang Zhong, who sometimes shrank into a ball and sometimes grew tall.
"By controlling every muscle, every bone, every tendon, and even every cell in your body, you can achieve anything!"
Wang Zhong's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a morning bell to Selena and William Brown.
We are fortunate to witness the birth of an era!
The Subtle Realm!
This is how Wang Zhong describes his current state.
The Subtle Realm. In the subtle, find great power, great breakthrough, and a greater self!
It seems to shrink, but in reality, it expands!
This is how the Yixue scholar Huo Feiran of the mountain city evaluated the prediction technique of the "Xiaochengtu." Now, it perfectly describes Wang Zhong's martial arts realm.
It also proves that Yixue (I Ching studies) and martial arts are interconnected!
True strength lies in the mind, not the body!
"There was once a story in the Buddhist tradition. A huge cauldron, weighing a thousand catties, could not be lifted even by a hero. But a small monk lifted it as easily as picking up a blade of grass, and everyone was amazed!"
Wang Zhong sat on the ground and told a story to the two.
"But was the small monk born with extraordinary strength?"
Selena asked curiously.
"No!"
Wang Zhong smiled and shook his head.
"Did the small monk have supernatural powers?"
William Brown was also curious.
"No!"
Wang Zhong shook his head without hesitation.
"Then why?"
Selena gave several answers, none of which were correct, and asked somewhat dejectedly.
"Because the small monk had no concept of weight! In his mind, the thousand-catty cauldron was the same as a blade of grass on the roadside!"
Wang Zhong smiled and said.
"Everyone was amazed and told the small monk that he had great strength and could lift a thousand-catty cauldron. Only then did the small monk realize the weight of the cauldron, and from then on, he could no longer move it at all!"
Wang Zhong sighed, thinking of the final outcome.
"The small monk could lift the thousand-catty cauldron because his mind was unburdened. Once his mind was burdened, he was just a small monk, no different from an ordinary person!"
"So, the fundamental strength of humans lies in the mind!"
...
Wang Zhong held a grand ceremony to accept disciples in Hong Kong, inviting not only tycoons like Li Chao and Jin Tang, but also entertainment industry giants like Zou Dahan and Shao Liushu!
Of course, there were also many martial arts experts and seniors from the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
Wang Zhong had several reasons for making the ceremony so grand.
First, the Nine Palaces Sword School now had few members and declining influence. A grand ceremony to accept disciples and reopen the school would benefit the Nine Palaces Sword School.
Second, Selena and William Brown were British nobles with significant influence. Wang Zhong's public acceptance of disciples also had the effect of leveraging their influence.
Third, the martial arts world has always emphasized lineage. Accepting disciples and reopening the school is a significant event that must be treated with great seriousness. This time, he was establishing the first disciple, which was even more special.
"Master Wang! Congratulations!"
Wang Zhong, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, stood at the door, receiving congratulations from various guests.
"Congratulations to you as well!"
"Master Wang, congratulations on gaining such excellent disciples!"
Chen Tingen from Chenjiagou smiled and clasped his hands.
"Master Chen, please come in and have some tea!"
Wang Zhong smiled and clasped his hands in return.
"Please, come in quickly!"
"Master Wang, congratulations on opening your school and accepting disciples!"
Li Tingyu from the White Crane School smiled and said.
"Master Li, please come in!"
Because this disciple acceptance involved figures from the entertainment industry, the daughter of the Hong Kong governor, and the old British noble Brown family, it was a hot topic. Reporters naturally came uninvited, and the flashbulbs never stopped.
"Look, it's Jackie Chan! It's Jackie Chan!"
A reporter, seeing a familiar figure, said excitedly.
After using up countless rolls of film, Jackie Chan finally approached Wang Zhong.
"Master Wang, congratulations!"
"Thank you, thank you for your support!"
Wang Zhong smiled and clasped his hands.
"Who is that? He looks very impressive!"
A reporter noticed another familiar figure and asked in surprise.
"The brothers from the Xiang family, you don't even recognize them?"
"They are tycoons! Take a photo quickly!"
"Sir David, it's Sir David! He came in person!"
"Who are those foreigners?"
"Unfamiliar, but they must be British nobles."
"That's the head of the Chamber of Commerce, a powerful figure in Hong Kong!"
An informed person revealed.
"Wow, all big shots are here!"
"Great, take good photos, promotions and bonuses depend on this!"
"Jin Tang is here, Jin Tang is here, find a good angle quickly!"
"Who are those dressed as Taoists?"
"From the Hong Kong Taoist Association!"
"Who are those in Tang suits?"
"From the Hong Kong Feng Shui Association!"
"Who is that person? He looks unfamiliar!"
"Unfamiliar, but he appeared with Donnie Yen, so he must be a family elder!"
...
There were figures from the cultural, entertainment, metaphysical, financial, and martial arts worlds, all well-known individuals.
This was due to Wang Zhong's involvement in many fields. As a writer, feng shui master, martial arts grandmaster, and bank shareholder, he had accumulated a large network of connections.
"Master, this is my mother!"
Donnie Yen stood in front of Wang Zhong, introducing a woman in a training suit who was slightly older and stood respectfully behind him.
Wang Zhong's eyes fell on Mai Chan and couldn't move away. It wasn't because she was stunningly beautiful, but because she had a unique aura. She seemed weak and powerless, but when she moved, it was earth-shattering!
This was a manifestation of deep-rooted martial arts!
A master!
Wang Zhong couldn't help but think.
"Master Wang, hello! Thank you for your efforts with Dan尼!"
Mai Chan said gratefully.
"Master Mai, you are too kind. I didn't expect you to come in person, it truly honors my humble abode!"
Wang Zhong smiled and replied.
Mai Chan was a disciple of the Fu school, originally from Guangdong, and now lived in the United States. She was the first modern martial arts coach in the United States and a famous martial artist. She also created the Mai-style Tai Chi, which was highly respected!
Of course, the current Mai Chan had not yet reached the level of her later years, but her martial arts skills had already reached the realm of a semi-grandmaster.
As long as she broke through the constraints, she could enter the ranks of grandmasters!
