"Father, wasn't your illness already cured?" Wang Yue asked.
Four years ago, Wang Danhe's illness was indeed very serious, but after treatment and care, it had been cured. However, the illness had now reappeared, which left Wang Yue very surprised.
Wang Danhe smiled bitterly and said, "This illness of mine is congenital, how could it be so easily cured? I am already very content to have lived this long."
Wang Yue comforted him, "Father, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to cure your illness. There must be a divine doctor in this world who can cure you."
Speaking of the divine doctor, Wang Yue thought of Xue Muhua.
Wang Yue used his hidden strength to adjust his father's body and then said, "Father, you should practice boxing with me. Practicing boxing can regulate your qi and blood, increase your strength, and even if it can't cure your illness, it can at least control it."
In recent years, Wang Yue had wanted his parents to practice boxing, but they refused, thinking that martial arts were only for fighting. They were honest and hardworking farmers, how could they learn such killing techniques?
No matter how Wang Yue explained, they wouldn't believe that martial arts could be used for health.
Now, Wang Yue had no choice but to bring up the topic again.
"Yue'er, I can't do violent things. Let's just forget it," Wang Danhe sighed.
Wang Yue said helplessly, "Father, martial arts are originally for strengthening the body. Fighting is just one of its expressions. Look at me, practicing boxing has made me look younger. Do I look like I'm twenty?"
Wang Yue's mother looked at Wang Yue and was startled.
Wang Yue really looked like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen, not a young man of twenty. She hadn't noticed it before because she saw him every day, but now that Wang Yue mentioned it, she realized he looked a few years younger than his actual age.
"Old man, listen to your son and practice martial arts," Wang Yue's mother advised.
Wang Danhe nodded, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
Wang Yue said happily, "Mother, you should practice too. Your body will get better and better."
...
Wang Yue went to Wang Shan's house and found Wang Shan, saying, "Brother Shan, didn't you go to deliver soy sauce today?"
Wang Shan smiled, "I've finished and just got back. Wang Yue, I have something to ask you."
Wang Yue, seeing Wang Shan's embarrassed look, nodded, "What is it? Go ahead and say it."
Wang Shan said, "Your martial arts, the internal boxing, can you teach me?"
"I thought it was something else. It's just internal boxing," Wang Yue laughed, "Brother Shan, I've already started teaching the village boys. If you're interested, you can join them. I'll be happy if you become an expert. That way, our Wang family village will become stronger."
Wang Shan said happily, "Good, good. You know, ever since you defeated Nan Murong, my hope of becoming a top expert has become a reality. Ha, I, Wang Shan, will also become an expert on par with Qiao Feng and Murong Fu."
Wang Shan could even imagine how glorious it would be to become an expert in the future.
Wang Yue patted Wang Shan's shoulder, "Brother Shan, I came to ask you to do something for me."
Wang Shan nodded, "What is it?"
"You still have connections with the escort agency, right? I want you to spread a message through them, saying that I'm looking for the divine doctor 'Xue Shenyi.' If he can come to Wang family village to treat my father, I will pass on the internal boxing to him." Wang Yue knew Xue Muhua's identity but didn't know where he was. Since he couldn't find him, he had to make him come to him.
Wang Shan was surprised, "What? You're going to pass on the internal boxing? That's not right. Your internal boxing will be the pride of our Wang family village. How can you pass it on to outsiders?"
Wang Yue laughed, "Murong Fu has already learned the internal boxing. Even if I don't want to pass it on, it's too late. Brother Shan, just do as I say. I know what I'm doing. Also, Brother Shan, you know Suzhou well. Help me find a good house. I want to open a martial arts school."
"Kung Fu School?" Wang Shan was a bit puzzled but didn't ask more and went to find a house in Suzhou.
...
Wang Yue now taught his parents to practice standing postures every day. His mother's health improved day by day, but his father's condition didn't improve, and he even felt very tired after standing.
Wang Yue had no choice. After all, Wang Danhe's illness was congenital, and even in the 21st century, it would be hard to cure, let alone in the Song Dynasty. Wang Yue could only use his hidden strength to regulate his father's qi and blood, reducing his pain, and hoped that Xue Muhua would come soon.
Three days later, Wang Shan found Wang Yue.
"Wang Yue, I've spread your message. Your internal boxing is already famous in the martial world, even compared to Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Murong Fu's Star Striking Technique."
Wang Shan was excited, never imagining he would one day practice an internal boxing as famous as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
In the past, he couldn't even get a third-rate cultivation method. By chance, he obtained a saber manual, and the cultivation method in it wasn't even third-rate, but he managed to cultivate true qi.
Now, Wang Shan could learn the miraculous internal boxing, and he believed that in the near future, he would become a martial arts expert like Qiao Feng and Murong Fu.
Wang Yue nodded, "Thank you, Brother Shan."
Wang Yue believed that Xue Muhua would soon hear the rumor.
Wang Shan laughed, "What are we talking about? We're family. By the way, I've found a house for you. It's in the east of Suzhou, a good location with a large area. It should be suitable for your martial arts school."
In the following days, Wang Yue began to prepare for the martial arts school.
...
In an inconspicuous small town, there was a small medical clinic. No one knew that the owner of this clinic was the famous divine doctor "Xue Shenyi" Xue Muhua.
In the room, the chess master Fan Bailin and Xue Muhua were playing chess.
"Fifth Brother, have you heard about the rumors about the village chief Wang Yue?" Fan Bailin asked, placing a piece.
Xue Muhua laughed, "Of course, I've heard. Wang Yue is indeed a genius. At such a young age, he has already become a top expert, even defeating Murong Fu. It's a miracle."
Xue Muhua was already in his forties, but his martial arts were only barely second-rate, which made him feel very unbalanced.
Fan Bailin shook his head, "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Wang Yue looking for you, saying that if you treat his father, he will pass on his internal boxing to you."
Xue Muhua was shocked and asked urgently, "Second Brother, is that true? Is Wang Yue really going to pass on the internal boxing to me?"
The internal boxing was a secret technique that even Murong Fu wanted to steal. How could Xue Muhua not be envious?
The status of "internal boxing" in the martial world was now on par with the Shaolin "Sinew Metamorphosis," the Beggar Sect's "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms," and the Dali Duan family's "Six Pulse Sword Technique."
Fan Bailin nodded, "I've confirmed the information. It's true."
Xue Muhua was excited, "Good, good. If I can get the internal boxing, I can definitely eliminate the traitor Ding Chunqiu of our Xianxia Sect. Then, the 'Eight Friends of Hangu Pass' can return to our master, and our master won't have to pretend to be deaf and mute anymore."
Fan Bailin was also excited, "Fifth Brother, set out immediately for Suzhou to treat Wang Yue's father."
Xue Muhua nodded, "Second Brother is right. I'll set out now."
Xue Muhua picked up his medical equipment and rushed to Suzhou.
...
At the Man Tuo Manor.
Wang Yuyan picked up the internal boxing manual and began to study it carefully.
"Are you still looking at these martial arts? Do you still think about Murong Fu?" Wang's wife's voice came, filled with anger.
Wang Yuyan stood up and said, "Mother, I... I'm just looking casually."
Wang's wife, Li Qingluo, sneered, "Yuyan, Murong Fu is not a good person. He is obsessed with rebellion and restoring the Great Yan Kingdom. You won't have a good future with him. You should avoid him. Also, give me your book."
"Mother."
Wang Yuyan didn't have time to hide the book behind her back before Li Qingluo took it.
Li Qingluo looked at the manual and smiled, "This is the miraculous internal boxing that is now famous in the martial world. I'm confiscating this book."
Before Wang Yuyan could object, Li Qingluo took the manual and left.
Wang Yuyan patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I've already memorized the cultivation method of the internal boxing. However, it's a pity that the manual only mentions the cultivation of hidden strength, not the transformation strength or the elixir strength. If I had the latter, Cousin would definitely become the leader of the martial world."
After being injured, Murong Fu returned to Yanziwu to meditate.
He hoped to improve his martial arts, defeat Wang Yue, and then obtain the later cultivation methods of the internal boxing.
Wang Yuyan wanted to deduce the transformation strength cultivation method of the internal boxing during Murong Fu's meditation. However, the information about the internal boxing was too limited. Even with her photographic memory and intelligence, she couldn't create a cultivation method out of thin air. After all, the internal boxing was a new technique, and Wang Yuyan still only understood it partially.
More importantly, some parts of Wang Yue's manuscript "Essentials of Boxing" were ambiguous, making it even harder for Wang Yuyan to understand.
"Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely help you perfect the internal boxing."
Wang Yuyan made up her mind. She loved Murong Fu deeply.
...
Half a month later, a big event happened in Suzhou.
Wang Yue bought a house and transformed it into a martial arts school.
"Kung Fu School."
The signboard read three large characters in bold strokes.
On the left side of the gate, it said "Only Kill Enemies," and on the right side, it said "No Performances."
Initially, no one knew what Wang Yue's "Kung Fu School" was for, but when the couplets on both sides of the gate were revealed, everyone knew it was a martial arts school.
"Wang Yue is taking disciples?"
This was a shocking event in the martial world. Wang Yue was now a famous expert on par with Northern Qiao Feng and Southern Murong. In many people's minds, Wang Yue's martial arts were even stronger than Qiao Feng's and Murong Fu's.
When Wang Yue opened the martial arts school, many martial artists in Suzhou came, hoping to become his disciples and learn the internal boxing.
Wang Yue was busy recruiting disciples when Wang Shan came in, excitedly saying, "Wang Yue, the divine doctor 'Xue Muhua' you were looking for has arrived."
Wang Yue was delighted, "What? Brother Shan, Xue Muhua is here? Where is he? Take me to him quickly."
