Pet King - Chapter 173

Chapter 173
Old Time Tea remembered the pretty girl named Snowy and the benevolent power in the store and believed that the future of the world was bright .


A benevolent heart might dim, but it would never vanish .
Zhang Zian nodded seriously, "I understand, Grandma Tea . If I see something unfair happen, I won’t let it get by . "
Old Time Tea nodded satisfactorily, "I trust you . If I had even a little bit of doubt, I wouldn’t teach you Wing Chun Kung Fu . In fact, I have been observing you these days and trying to see if you are a reliable and righteous person . "
Zhang Zian was nervous . He had been making fun of people online all the time . He also made Lu Yiyun cry one time . He was eager to find out what Old Time Tea thought about him as a person .
As if Old Time Tea could read his mind, it laughed, "I only look at the big picture . As a person, you should remain unmoved by either the carrot or the stick . Young kids always joke around and that is normal . If you were too serious, I would worry that you were faking it . All real benevolent warriors do not restrict themselves in tiny details . The Kung Fu master Ye Wen was a crazy kid when he was younger . "
Old Time Tea was in her deep memories as she spoke . A smile came up on her face .
Zhang Zian relaxed .
The smile disappeared on Old Time Tea’s face . She said seriously, "Being tough is great, but you have to be very clear about your limits . For example, when the seven Rainbow Fighters came for money, it was an easy decision to get them out of here by simply giving them some money . You have to remember that a real benevolent warrior should be smart and nicely K . O . the enemies without getting hurt . "
"True!" Zhang Zian agreed .
Honestly, Zhang Zian felt scared after the seven Rainbow Fighters left . If those people stabbed him, it wouldn’t be worth it to fight back…
"Similarly, before you turn into a real Kung Fu master, when you see someone in need of help, I’d suggest calling the police," Old Time Tea said .
Old Time Tea’s words made him laugh . He could feel the concern and love from Old Time Tea through her words .
"Understood," he said .
Tired of being ignored, Fina was impatient and grumpy . "Are you guys done?"
Zhang Zian looked up and saw that not far from where he was, Xinghai was having fun chasing a group of street cats .
Old Time Tea smiled, "Queen Fina is pushing us . Let’s begin . I will teach you the Wing Chun formula first . It is okay if you cannot understand . All you need to do is memorize it and then understand it through practice . "
Zhang Zian paid full attention and tried to memorize .
"Wing Chun techniques are from Shaolin . No actions relate to the animal shape and the five elements . Instead, they focus on movement, power and angle to defeat the strong with less energy . Every move is resolved by another . There is no killing move . Save your power like a snake and release it like a cat…"
Release power like a cat?
Zhang Zian almost burst into laughter when he heard this . No wonder Old Time Tea could easily defeat the seven Rainbow Fighters! Old Time Tea used "release power like a cat" to the utmost extreme because she was, in fact, a cat .


The so-called "release power like a cat" probably meant to move as quickly as a cat . The essence of Kung Fu was the speed of movements .
Old Time Tea finished the formula . She said immediately, without asking the student’s feedback, "Wing Chun is very easy to learn yet difficult to master . You only need to learn some basics, so you should be okay . "
Zhang Zian was offended . What did Old Time Tea mean? I have the same last name as Zhang Wuji . How come he could become a Martial Arts master but I can’t?

Of course, Old Time Tea was not aware of Zhang Zian’s complicated feelings . She continued, "Wing Chun includes three sets of basic Chinese boxing – The Intention, The Search and The Advancement . There are also a sets of wooden dummy practices, a set of knife practices and a set of stick practices . "
Old Time Tea looked down at her paws and giggled, "I am not going to teach you the knife practice and stick practice because I am not good at it . Also, it is not easy to carry a weapon around nowadays . "
"You are right," Zhang Zian agreed yet felt pity because he wanted to learn the whole thing .
Old Time Tea continued, "It is best to master the essence of some movements . It will help you your whole life . For example, the Intention is entry level boxing, but people always say that if you master the Intention, you master half of Wing Chun . From today on, I will teach you from the Intention . "
"First of all, look straight forward, and keep your arms down naturally . Focus your mind on Kung Fu and don’t think about anything else," Old Time Tea started .
Zhang Zian followed the instruction to pose a standby gesture and keep his mind focused .
However, he couldn’t help to ask, "Grandma Tea, how come the standby gesture feels like the broadcast gymnastics I practice at home?"


Old Time Tea laughed, "I can’t stand watching you practice that useless broadcast gymnastics so I decided to teach you Wing Chun . It might seem similar at first but will become very different as you advance . "
Zhang Zian was, in fact, joking with Old Time Tea . He knew that broadcast gymnastics could only warm up the body and was not very effective in real fitness training… After learning Wing Chun, he didn’t need broadcast gymnastics anymore .
"Okay . Stay focused and let the first movement begin – double direction point . Raise both arms to the front . Put the power in your fingers and poke to the front as hard as possible . Your fingers should remain at the same height as your eyes . "
Old Time Tea only taught him a few simple moves which formed the first movement in the Intention . Old Time Tea had Zhang Zian practice on his own as she jumped up to the wall and observed the environment . At times, she pointed out some mistakes in Zhang Zian’s practice .
The movements looked simple, yet they were difficult to practice . Old Time Tea required every move to be fast and light yet powerful . His eyes had to move alone with his hands and his lower body had to stay firm . Old Time Tea was normally easy-going but when it came to Kung Fu, she could not stand any tiny mistakes or slackness .
Zhang Zian warmed up quickly . He took off his jacket and threw it on a rock . Fina jumped on his jacket immediately and used it as a blanket . Zhang Zian was too lazy to complain so he decided to focus on practicing .
The moves were simple and didn’t seem to be powerful . He kept practicing repetitively .
His body felt more and more tired, yet his mind was clearer and clearer .
It seemed that every movement would get rid of a bit of distraction and impurity from his body .
He was sweating all over . Sweat came down from his hair, forehead and neck .
Old Time Tea was very happy with her new student . Finally, she said, "Let’s call it a day . "
Zhang Zian was so tired . He called to Xinghai, "Xinghai, it is time to go home . "
Xinghai ran back quickly . Apparently, she had had fun .
Fina was laying on the jacket and taking a nap .
"Fina, let’s go . It is time to go home . I need my jacket back!"
Fina opened her eyes lazily, stood up, and stretched . She jumped up and gave him back his jacket .
It was windy . Although Zhang Zian was warm and sweating, he had to put his jacket back on . Otherwise, he might catch a cold .
After putting his jacket on, his cellphone rang . An unfamiliar number was calling .
"Hello?" he answered .
"Master Zhang, it is me," Aunt Li said, "A man in a suit is here for you . He looks like one of those white-collar workers from TV shows . "
"Okay . Have him wait there for a minute . I am coming now," He hung up .
