Chapter 36: Wang Chan's First Step into the Mortal World

  It has to be said that a boxing method like Muay Thai is indeed capable of developing the potential functions of human muscles, bones and skin to the extreme. Not to mention ordinary people, even for average martial arts masters, it possesses extremely strong lethality and shocking power.

  But for Wang Chan, Ruan Peng's speed was still far from enough, and before he even made a move, the direction of his muscles was too obvious, it was as if he directly told him what his opponent would do next.

  To understand that the human body is a whole, any movement and change are not just about pulling a single muscle force, but also a series of tendons connected to it will react at the moment of exertion. Fast like Sun Longfeng's gun shooting, slow like ordinary people's hand lifting and foot stepping, all can't leave this change.

  Ruan Peng was really too thin, with skin wrapped around his bones, and muscles that were as taut as steel wires twisted together by a pair of iron pliers, almost sticking to the joints and tendons. With just a slight movement, he would dart about like an old mouse. To ordinary people, this wouldn't evoke any particular feeling, but to someone like Wang Chan, it was equivalent to revealing his entire battle plan.

  There's hardly anywhere left to hide!

  Especially Wang Chan's body is agile and quick, comparable to a monkey. His physical reaction speed has already formed an instinct, often before his brain receives the information, his body has already taken action.

  Unless Wang Zan deliberately didn't dodge, Ruan Peng would never be able to touch him even if he died from exhaustion.

  Wang Chan faced the razor-sharp kick, his feet still unmoving, while his other hand swiftly emerged from his waist and struck downwards with a fist, "Horizontal Iron Gate Bolt", using the "Carrying Fist" move from the Eight Extremes Fist to heavily knock against Ruan Peng's leg.

  Bang! Another loud noise, the two men exchanged blows, their voices not sounding human. Ruan Peng only felt a sharp pain in his calf, a feeling he hadn't had in years, causing beads of sweat to suddenly appear on his forehead.

  In Muay Thai, the most powerful are the leg and knee techniques. When Yuan Peng was young, he practiced traditional Muay Thai and went crazy for several times. He even used his legs to kick thick iron pillars with full force every day for ten years. Even when he fought on the domestic boxing ring, he relied on these two iron legs to win numerous glorious victories.

  How is it that this time I ran into this person in front of me, and yet he seems even harder than a steel rod?

  He felt something was off, so Ruan Peng hastily retreated and changed his pace, opening up a circular motion on the outside, using long-range attacks. As soon as he had an opportunity, he closed in with a flurry of close-range elbow strikes from Muay Thai.

  "This Ruan Peng is quite skilled, and among the many coaches of Qing Niao, he should be the most formidable one. His Muay Thai seems to have no fancy moves, just a few simple techniques repeated over and over, but they are very practical. With his physique trained to be as hard as steel, when he fights, even ten or so ordinary people can't get close to him."

  Wang Chan was still quite interested in Muay Thai, and with his keen eyesight, he soon saw some openings in Ruan Peng's boxing technique. He knew that Ruan Peng had already begun to feel intimidated by him, and his momentum had greatly decreased. Although he continued to fight in a carefree manner, the physical strength he consumed was also increasing significantly. Adding to this, his mental tension was extremely high, and if he continued like this for a while longer, even if Wang Chan didn't make a move, Ruan Peng would collapse from exhaustion due to running out of energy.

  A person practicing martial arts must have a strong and balanced flow of energy throughout their body, as well as a special breathing technique to conserve stamina. They must also be able to seal off all pores on their skin to prevent loss of vital energy. Otherwise, even the strongest person in the world would not be able to last long in such high-intensity physical confrontations. Haven't you noticed that in official international competitions, whether it's boxing, karate, Muay Thai, or taekwondo, they all use a round system to determine victory and defeat? Each round only lasts a few minutes before the competitors need to rest and rehydrate.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after a few more minutes, Ruan Peng's sweat increased, and with every move, large droplets of water were flung into the air as he rapidly swung his fists and feet. Facing Wang Chan, such a monster, he didn't know how to dodge, only advancing step by step, retreating when the other advanced, blocking punches with punches, and kicks with kicks. Ruan Peng's eyes gradually revealed a look of horror.

  After practicing boxing for so many years, I have never met anyone like him. The hardness of his limbs seems to be far beyond my own.

  "It's not bad that he can hold on until now. Unfortunately, when he was young and practicing boxing, he only knew how to advance bravely without knowing how to use medicinal materials to nourish and temper his body, and his nutrition was also insufficient. Now, he has almost exhausted all his potential and there is no possibility of progress!"

  Wang Chan shook his head secretly in his heart and looked at Ruan Peng with a gaze that had a hint of pity.

  According to the domestic martial arts division, Muay Thai should be a relatively pure external hard qigong fist method, only practicing tendons, bones, skin and hair, without paying attention to the internal breath. Those who practice this fist method want to become masters, they must practice day and night, using various cruel methods to hone their physical body, accumulating power bit by bit with water grinding skills, because of the large daily consumption, so they need a lot of meat food to supplement nutrition.

  But in Thailand, almost all the boxers are poor people, and having three meals a day is already not bad. Who has extra money to take care of their body? As time goes by, almost all the boxers can't live long. After their physical strength peaks, they become old like a 70 or 80-year-old man at around 40 years old.

  Yuen Pong is obviously one of them, a typical Muay Thai fighter who struggled out from the bottom of society. But he's doing alright, knowing when to retire and preserve his physical strength, no longer participating in competitions, coming to Qing Niao as a coach with high pay, now having the energy to make up for past regrets and fill in the gaps left by his body.

  Yan saw that Ruan Peng in front of him was already sweating profusely, but still insisted on fighting with himself. Although he knew he was no match for Yan, he refused to admit defeat. At this point, Wang Chan also lost interest and stopped dragging things out. Just as Ruan Peng threw another right hook at him, Wang Chan's body slightly shifted to the side, this time not blocking it head-on.

  He borrowed the momentum to crouch down, instantly lowering his center of gravity. His body shook violently and he charged forward, executing a classic Eight Trigrams Fist move - "Bear Crouching Hard Squeeze Lean". It was as if in the primal forest, a black bear with an itchy back leaned against a tree, rubbing incessantly, unleashing its massive strength in an instant burst of power.

  The next moment, Ruan Peng also involuntarily flew out backwards.

  However, this time, because Wang Chan didn't have any ill feelings towards him, he was extremely measured in his movements, and unlike when dealing with Wu Jie, it wasn't just a single push or collision. The force was concentrated but not released, so although Ruan Peng was also sent flying, he didn't fly out of the arena. With the protection of the thick mat on the ground, he simply rolled around on the ground before getting back up again, without suffering any injuries.

  "Thank you for sparing my life!" Ruan Peng knew that he was a member of his own family and understood that Wang Chan had shown him mercy, not striking him with full force. As soon as he got up from the ground, he immediately followed the Thai boxing etiquette and bowed respectfully to Wang Chan.

  Ruan Peng was in the Muay Thai gym of Qing Niao Club, where there were the least number of people. The remaining ones were mostly women who came to try something new and wanted to lose weight through the intense daily training of Muay Thai. It was considered the worst performing martial arts hall in Qing Niao. However, Ruan Peng was recognized by everyone as the top master of Qing Niao, whether it was Karate's three or four schools, Taekwondo, Boxing, or Jujutsu, no one could surpass him. Now that he had lost this time, it also solidified Coach Wang Chan's position.

  After standing in the venue for a while, asking a few questions, and seeing that no one dared to come up and challenge himself, Wang Chan also felt that it was boring. He turned his head and asked Lei Ting outside the venue: "Director Lei, can this be considered as me passing your test?"

  Looking around, she saw that the coaches present had no objections, so Lei Ting nodded in confirmation. Zhou Yahan was also smiling all over her face, jumping up and down with excitement.

  "I'll have someone bring the contract over right away, formally hiring you as the head coach of our Qing Niao International Fitness Club. All you need to do is sign it and it will take effect immediately!"

  "That's it, the contract and all that, I'm too lazy to look at it myself, let this little girl take a look for me. The only thing is, I don't want any rigid requirements on time. I was introduced by Lei Xing, as long as I'm here for one day, I can guarantee that Qing Niao will be safe for a day. If you agree, I'll sign it!" He stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Yahuan's head, who had just run to his side, and pushed the matter of signing the contract away.

  He was never a person who could be bound by worldly conventions, and of course, he didn't think much of this so-called contract that most people would envy. However, he also knew that in today's society, everything is about legal rules and regulations, and the honesty and loyalty that once existed in people's hearts have gradually faded away. The written contract can provide more psychological security and comfort to outsiders, so even he had to adapt to local customs.

  He came to Qing Niao only to find an opportunity to secretly protect Zhou Ya Huan, and it's estimated that it won't take long for new news to arrive from Zhou Lin. The contract he signed with Qing Niao is not much stronger than a scrap of paper, and it has no meaning at all.

  "It's better this way, people like you probably won't care even if they sign a contract, and will just leave when they feel like it. I'm just doing this for show, to make you look like everyone else! I'll get someone to simplify the contract as much as possible, so you can understand it easily. After you sign the contract, let's have lunch together in the afternoon, Yahan will come too, consider it my treat!"

  Lei Ting was well aware of Wang Chan's weight, so she didn't hesitate to get things done. On the contrary, she was very accommodating to Wang Chan. Before long, a secretary brought over a contract, which was only one page of A4 white paper with extremely simple terms. Zhou Yahuan looked at it with a strange expression and handed it over to Wang Chan.

  Wang Chan didn't even look at it, picked up his pen and signed his name below, then strode out in big steps.
