Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 640: Exhibition Match
The procedures at the following stations were similar.
The content of the seminars was as such; as the times progress and technology advances, many countries neglect their traditions, causing martial arts of various nations to decline significantly.
The person in charge of reporting couldn’t stop sighing.
[I can sense his confusion; wanting to promote tradition but unable to find a breakthrough, having heart but no strength is the most torturous.]
[Isn’t our country the same?]
[In recent years, our country has been actively supporting tradition.]
[Speaking of martial arts, the participation of Miaomiao in the kids show was a catalyst, causing a huge reaction since last year. The National Martial Arts Association even broke the rules to let her take the exam. After that, anything related to martial arts, the association would help Miaomiao promote it, moving forward hand in hand.]
[It sounds like it’s all her credit.]
[No one said it’s all her credit, okay? It’s the result of everyone’s efforts. But it’s undeniable that it’s because of Miaomiao’s stunning performance in the program that more and more people started paying attention to traditional martial arts. Weren’t there many people who followed along practicing Tai Chi Boxing and Xingyi Boxing back then?]
[I believe everything is moving in a good direction. Like this martial arts exchange conference, only people within this circle knew about it before. Everyone would occasionally hear about it but wouldn’t care. How could it be like this time, staying up all night to catch the livestream, united, and running to foreign websites to promote it?]
[Like Miaomiao, the senior brothers, and Yang Zhi, they are all the new forces of the younger generation. With their generation passing the torch, the future will only get better.]
[What you said made my nose tingle with emotion.]
Outside the seminar, it still was the free personal challenge activity.
You can challenge, and others can refuse.
Everyone had different thoughts.
Some wanted to take advantage of the conference’s first livestream to promote themselves, while others genuinely didn’t want to spar, or didn’t want to reveal their strength prematurely.
Many people came to challenge Duan Xiayou, Li Zhou, and Yang Zhi from Tuanzi’s team, and quite a few challenged others as well. The team included many senior predecessors in their forties and fifties, specializing in certain boxing or swordsmanship. Though they had no inner strength and might not attract as much attention as Tuanzi, having researched a particular field for over forty years, many of their demonstrations were worthy of being teaching videos.
The only ones receiving little attention were Tuanzi and Tantai Yi.
Tuanzi had already come to terms with this, waiting to shine in the exchange match, and reversed roles to comfort Tantai Yi.
"Third Brother, never mind, they’re just too cowardly."
Tuanzi understood clearly that people didn’t challenge her because they looked down on her, and didn’t challenge Tantai Yi because they were afraid of being frozen.
"Second Brother is very bold, which is why Second Brother is amazing."
Tuanzi used Ji Zhangzhuo as an example.
While he too could be frozen, Ji Zhangzhuo would often spar with Tantai Yi, trying to find a method to counter it. In the end, he concluded that among all martial arts, nothing breaks faster than speed.
Unfortunately, even Ji Zhangzhuo couldn’t match Tantai Yi in Qinggong. Currently, only Tuanzi’s Qinggong slightly beats Tantai Yi’s. For this reason, there was a period when Ji Zhangzhuo became a little tail, following Tuanzi around every day for guidance.
But when Tuanzi taught, she liked to give examples. She then gave examples of her learning process. Those embarrassing stories of her running desperately for her life to eat candy or snatch her master’s drumstick were all exposed.
The outcome was predictable.
Thinking about Second Brother, Tuanzi remembered his hysterical laughing expression, and she immediately became annoyed.
"No, I take that back, Second Brother isn’t amazing at all!"
Knowing the cause and effect, Tantai Yi patted his head.
"When we go back, I’ll freeze him."
Tuanzi immediately brightened up.
"Great, great!"
Ji Zhangzhuo specially waited in front of the screen: "...Can’t you let me be happy for a while longer?"
The little junior sister praised him in front of the camera, and netizens sent bullet comments saying their brother-sister bond was admirable and enviable.
His lips just curved upward, and the junior sister withdrew her praise so quickly? Isn’t it too fast?
"Serves you right!"
Today, East Gate West showed up again, and he also watched the livestream.
The junior sister praised Second Brother but not him, which had long made him dissatisfied.
East Gate East: "Are you a sour lemon spirit? Always sour about this and that."
East Gate West: "I’m going to eat a hundred lemons later, and after my teeth feel sour, see how you can eat tomorrow!"
East Gate East was about to cry but had no tears.
Why does his brother always want to hurt each other? They share one body; hurting him is just hurting himself, isn’t it? The brother is too ruthless!
Tuanzi didn’t know her words triggered a disaster. After receiving the third brother’s promise, she put away her small hands and leisurely enjoyed others’ sparring, gaining some understanding of the skills of contestants from other countries.
Soon, it was time for the exchange match.
Various countries submitted their participant lists for the match.
The organizers found out a six-year-old child was going to compete and specially approached the old predecessor leading Tuanzi’s team.
"Isn’t it bad to let such a young child participate in such a dangerous match?"
The leader smilingly said, "There’s no age limit for the exchange match, right?"
The organizer nodded.
"Then it’s okay, let her participate, train more." Train the participants from other countries.
The organizer thought about it and agreed nonetheless.
Anyway, the rules of the exchange match required the fight to stop when problems were found, and the referee would call it off. They’ve hosted this for so many years; they wouldn’t fail to protect a child.
The organizer continued to check the list, discovering that the previously revered Tantai Yi, Duan Xiayou who mastered Listening Wave Swordsmanship to perfection, and the especially fast Li Zhou were all not participating.
"Why aren’t they participating?"
"They were originally substitute players," the leader guessed the reason behind these senior brothers not participating, also feeling pleased to grant their wishes. Being old and sharp-eyed, he saw that among them, only Tuanzi was truly passionate about martial arts. The association actually most needed Tuanzi, "This time the official participants had no issues, so they aren’t going to compete."
From the outset, the senior brothers hadn’t planned to compete. However, for formality’s sake, accompanying the junior sister abroad and in case anyone truly suffered from acclimatization, they were included as substitutes. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The organizer understood this approach, as other countries also did this, but felt it was a pity.
"Those few are so skilled. If they competed, they might be champions, what a shame!"
The leader obliged, "They are not tempted by fame or profit, but very willing to promote martial arts. How about having an exhibition match at the opening - the three of them taking turns fighting, how about it?"
The organizer couldn’t ask for more and repeatedly asked that Duan Xiayou use the sword and Tantai Yi freeze someone.
Finding that powerful competitors wouldn’t compete but only exhibit, the contestants from other countries all sighed in relief, with each raising their phones, preparing to record the exhibition match for thorough examination afterward. Who knows, maybe they’ll compete next time at the exchange conference?
Tuanzi’s teammates all looked at them with pity.
The senior brothers didn’t compete but let the junior sister participate; wasn’t the answer obvious? How couldn’t they figure it out? Surely they wouldn’t think the senior brothers are great but the junior sister is a little fool, right?
