Chapter 112 Another Check
This fight should be more appropriately described as a sparring match. After all, Du Ruo only wanted to verify what he had learned, not to fight to the death. If he did, he would use all means. Du Ruo would not give the opponent the opportunity to display so many moves. He would just go up and bully the old man with his strong fists and kill him with random punches. Even if the opponent had both internal and external skills, Du Ruo could still shatter his internal organs with his full firepower.
Despite this, Du Ruo benefited a lot from this competition, especially the Bronze Man Technique which was specifically designed to break soft and hard Qigong, which was absolutely correct. He also thought of a new means of attack. Perhaps he could try the combination of spirit and sound when he has time. As long as he can scare the enemy, even for only half a second, it will be enough for him to use more means.
"This method should be the most core skill in Tibetan martial arts."
Du Ruo thought to himself that this was the main reason why he didn't ask to learn just now. There was no need to speak up for some things, so as not to break that rare bond.
"It's a pity that there are too few opponents like this."
After digesting what he had just gained, Du Ruo couldn't help but sigh.
"Perhaps the master thought the same, so he agreed to fight you."
Li Qiyao, who was driving, heard Du Ruo's sigh and responded.
"Du Ruo, how different are you from the old man just now and the top ten masters of the Republic of China that my grandfather mentioned? I think you are all very powerful. If you are not as good as them, how powerful must they be?"
Xiang Yuanyuan spoke with a curious look on her face. Her grandfather himself did not practice martial arts, but he often came into contact with these people. Occasionally, when he got drunk, he would tell her about the powerful qualities of these people.
It's just that she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she didn't have a specific concept. But Du Ruo just gave her a specific concept. However, she was an outsider after all, and could only judge from the broken tiles and the noise made by Du Ruo's stomping.
"It's hard to say. The time in between is too long, and many people have fought hard to become the top ten masters. The top ten masters have been replaced one after another. Even later on, they are not ranked by martial arts, but also by their contributions and fame. However, those who became famous in that era must have had outstanding qualities."
If it were in the past, Du Ruo would dare to say that he was no worse than others. But now, Du Ruo is still more humble and dare not draw a conclusion. Times have changed. The warriors at that time had amazing intuition and willpower, which are not something that warriors in peacetime can develop.
Everyone in Du Ruo's car was discussing something, but the car driven by Wu Jing's assistant was a little quiet.
The only exclamations that came to Qiangzi and that celebrity’s minds were “Wow~”, “So awesome~”, “Is that still a human being?”
But Wu Jing is different. No matter what, he can see more through what he sees and hears.
Not to mention the later scene, he was already shocked by the initial tests between Du Ruo and Lama.
The collision of the palms and backs of the two people's hands did not produce a crisp sound, but a low sound like the collision of wooden sticks.
This alone shows that the basic skills of the two are completely beyond his reach.
"Brother Jing, you are also a martial arts expert. How do the two of them compare to you in terms of their strength?"
The star looked at Wu Jing, and although there was a question in his words, they were mostly flattery.
"Don't! Don't say that. I don't dare to call myself a master. I'm just an amateur. I'm okay for a little show, but I'm far from being a real master."
But when Wu Jing heard this, he not only waved his hands, but also shook his head like a rattle.
What a joke! Du Ruo’s punch at the end was still appearing in his mind. He even suspected that he might be awakened by Du Ruo’s punch in his dreams recently.
He knows his own business. It is true that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has also practiced the basic skills since he was a child, but he has never practiced fighting methods. Moreover, he switched to practicing routines when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. I don't know where he has neglected his basic skills over the years.
It would be fine if he just flattered her at other times, but in a situation like today, if he dared to nod and admit it, as long as the news got out, his senior masters would definitely beat the shit out of him.
"Hey, Qiangzi, aren't you familiar with this Boss Du? Why do you call him Boss Du? Is he a businessman? Is Boss Du a local? What kind of martial arts does he practice?"
At this time, Wu Jing remembered Qiangzi who was sitting next to him, and immediately started asking, hoping to get more information about Du Ruo.
"I'm not familiar with Boss Du. Boss Du is not from here..."
In fact, it was Qiangzi's first time to communicate with a big star at such a close distance, so he naturally said whatever he wanted. However, he didn't know much about Du Ruo, so even though he told her all his interactions with Du Ruo, there was actually not much useful information.
"Are you the owner of a B&B at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province?"
Wu Jing memorized all the useful information in his mind, then nodded silently. As he spoke, two cars had arrived in front of Qiangzi's ranch house one after the other.
Du Ruo, Xiang Yuanyuan and the other two got out of the car, but they didn't make any decisions. They were not the owners here. Although they knew that Wu Jing and Mingxing must have come for him, they didn't take the initiative to speak.
Only after they sat down in the living room did Qiangzi pour the milk tea.
"Boss Du...Boss Du, you helped me a lot today. If it weren't for your skillful hands, my leg would definitely not have healed so quickly. I don't know how much time would have been wasted. This is a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse."
The star who was injured today spoke first, and took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Du Ruo with a sincere attitude. "Well, then I won't be polite. There is no need to say more words of thanks. It is fate that we met."
Du Ruo looked at the thin envelope with a smile on his face. He would naturally not refuse the money that was delivered to his door, so he accepted it naturally while talking.
"Master Du, I actually know a little bit of boxing and kicking, I wonder if you're still accepting disciples?"
Wu Jing saw that Du Ruo seemed easy to talk to, so he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Forehead……"
Du Ruo looked at Wu Jing and didn't react for a moment. He didn't know how to answer and just looked him up and down. However, when Qiangzi on the side heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at Du Ruo as well, as if as long as Du Ruo said he would accept a disciple, he would immediately become his disciple.
"Master Du, don't get me wrong. It's not me who wants to be your disciple. It's my child. I've taught him some basic martial arts. If you can accept me as your disciple, I'll let him become your disciple right away. Tuition and other things are easy to negotiate."
Wu Jing blushed. To be honest, he really wanted to become Du Ruo's disciple. However, when he saw Du Ruo's look, he knew that there was no chance for him. So he simply changed the subject and said that it was his own child who wanted to become his disciple.
"Oh, you scared me, but I'm sorry, I don't accept disciples."
Du Ruo also made a joke, then shook his head to refuse. If he was willing to accept a disciple, would he need to go out and do dirty work? At least that was the case for now.
"Haha, that's a pity. If there is any cooperation in the future and I need Master Du's guidance, or if it's a situation like today, can I ask Master Du for help?"
Wu Jing lowered his requirements step by step.
"It's not impossible."
Du Ruo glanced at the envelope on the table and neither agreed nor refused directly.
"Can you please leave me your contact information? If I go to Huangshan next time, I might go and visit Master Du."
Wu Jing didn't reveal his real purpose until now, and took out his mobile phone.
"Okay, why not? Having the contact information of big stars like you is something that others would love to have."
The two sides chatted for a while. Wu Jing kept a low profile and did not mention anything about martial arts. Du Ruo did not take it too seriously either. Instead, he introduced Xiang Yuanyuan to them and even mentioned the Xiang family's medicinal wine.
The conversation ended only when Wu Jing and the star whose name Du Ruo couldn't remember said goodbye and left with their assistants, saying they had to catch a plane to leave Zhaosu.
"Wow, Boss Du, you look so handsome today..."
After sending the person away, Qiangzi immediately praised Du Ruo in various ways. His admiration was evident in his words and his eyes were shining.
"Okay, stop bragging. By the way, did you sell the medicinal wine to the other party today?"
Du Ruo replied to Qiangzi and suddenly remembered the matter of the medicinal wine. He just smelled a strong scent of medicinal wine on the star's body. It should not be just the amount that Du Ruo applied after treating the injury. While speaking, Du Ruo had already opened the envelope on the table and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the number on the check inside.
"Well, it's mainly because the director helped to speak for me, and I...Boss Du, I'll transfer the money to you."
Qiangzi felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Du Ruo while talking, fearing that Du Ruo would be unhappy.
"It's okay, just sell it, and you can keep the money. I'll send you another bottle when I get back. Okay, that's it. It's getting late, go to bed early, and you have to take me horseback riding tomorrow."
Du Ruo went over and patted Qiangzi on the shoulder, ending the conversation. At the same time, he was sighing in his heart:
"One hundred thousand dollars for one move. This is really easy money. Celebrities are rich. As expected, only dirty jobs like murder and arson that require no technical skills are the least valuable."
Du Ruo put the check away. It was a company check and he would have to find time to deposit it in the bank. However, for the sake of money, Du Ruo never minded the trouble.
"I'm sleeping. I'm very sleepy."
Xiang Yuanyuan was originally excited to meet a big star, but when she saw that Du Ruo seemed to be pretentious, and that stars did not seem so far away, and that Du Ruo was just like an ordinary person, she immediately lost interest in going up to him to ask for an autograph or something. Now that he had left, she suddenly felt bored, yawned, and pulled Li Qiyao to wash up and go to bed.
……
Early in the morning, Du Ruo and Qiangzi were practicing Tai Chi in the yard, Xiang Yuanyuan was swinging a grass boredly beside them, and only Li Qiyao was rummaging through the suitcase for things she was going to take out.
“Tap tap tap~~”
The sound of horse hooves hitting the grass came, and Xiang Yuanyuan suddenly became alert. She stood up immediately and ran out of the yard.
