Chapter 4: When there’s a Will, There’s a Way
Editor: TheSloth
This repeated Bamboo that was sent out had attracted a batch of friends who gifted the Bamboos. B-Dog panted, "My legs are like they are tied by a lead ball. I have 8 points of physical strength, 7 points of stamina. Logically there should be no issue to run slowly for ten kilometers, even if it is after a serious illness. I know it is the reaction of fatigue due to lack of exercise for a long time. If I can endure and adhere to it, my stamina will be improved gradually. Hu-hu, I meant it when I say ten kilometers, I will not give up."
Without realizing it, the number of people in the room had increased to more than one thousand people; moreover, it was still early morning where the visitor’s flow was the least. The cheering pop-up comments suddenly increased.
"Anchor, how do you know your physical strength is 8 points and stamina is 7 points? You are talking like you are playing an online game."
B-Dog was trying to make his body relax and calmed his breathing, he said, "This is the self-valuation according to an adult’s maximum value of 10 points. My four attributes are approximately 9 points of strength, 8 points of physique, 7 points of stamina and 7 points of agility. You could also evaluate your attributes yourself. I am not randomly uttering nonsense about this standard of specific calculations. We can discuss about it when we have time. Now I am out of breath, I have to talk less and keep the rhythm of breathing. Friends who send me the Bamboos and gifts, please forgive me if I do not call your names."
"Ding, congratulations to Master learning the skill of long-distance running. Current skill LV1 (0/10)."
He felt happy as he had never thought to learn a skill this way. The knowledge about long-distance running had come into his mind. He started to follow the guidelines of the system, watching out for the rhythm of breathing, the swing of the arms and the distance between the legs. He was not used to it at the beginning, but after running for sometimes, he felt much better.
Indeed, it was deserved to be called a system. He would certainly need some rest usually.
After running for a hard round, all the broadcasting rooms in Panda TV were raising up a red color horizontal banner from right fluttered to left.
"Freelance Cowboy sends a Buddha Jumps over the Wall to Anchor Chen B-Dog, come quickly to grab the treasure box, everyone!"
The pop-up comments started to flood with the messages – "There’s Buddha Jumps over the Wall!" "Wow, Mr. Tycoon, one thousand dollars gift!" "Chief Cow kept his word, bravo" "Quiet and sent Buddha Jumps over the Wall!" "Bravo, anchor, quickly kneel down and receive the gift."
B-Dog was quite excited. He shouted, "Thanks, Chief Cow for the Buddha Jumps over the Wall! Come on guys, please give a big like to our Chief Cow!"
Without his urging, there was already a huge crowd entering the broadcast room by clicking the advertisement. He took a glance at the camera; unexpectedly it had reached three thousand people. Seriously? He really had become the Outdoors Top Superstar.
He was touched. He knew that this website was newly established and many people were only joining for fun. Furthermore, he was the only one who was doing outdoors broadcasting and he was not using a selfie stick. It was a great advantage.
Getting over his exhaustion, his legs remained heavy but he was still able to move. In good spirit, he shouted, "I say ten kilometers and I meant it. It will not be less by even 1 meter. There is one round left. After a short break later, I will perform the Eight Extreme Fist, please click follow if you are interested, do not miss it!"
After listening to the anchor, those followers that came due to the advertisement kept sending the pop-up comments, "Anchor knows the Eight Extreme Fist? Then I will stay a little longer."
Finally, he finished the last round. At that time, his face had already turned pale. Taking a bottle of mineral water and swallowing a great deal of it, he then poured the rest on his head. A layer of water vapor started to rise from his head.
"Ten kilometers, five rounds, nothing less!"
He definitely would not miss this chance to boost the atmosphere, shouting towards the camera, "Guys, this is a good beginning. The first step to embrace the martial art of dragon slaughtering is that you must have a good body. With determination, I truly believe it is not a dream to have the figure of Captain America."
Everyone in the room kept sending the message "Bravo" "Captain America? In your dreams", in between somebody shouted "Eight Extreme Fist".
"Guys, do not be in a hurry. Tai Chi eases the world, Eight Fists sets the universe. My Eight Extreme Fist is real, how could you learn without patience?"
The new visitors started to feel irritated and started to send messages, "Such an arrogant guy, a lousy anchor, fat pig, you say Eight Extreme Fist, why don’t you go dance? Taekwondo kicking is so much better."
"Damn, are you performing? Else, I am going to unsubscribe!"
"Is there any real Kungfu nowadays? All of it is crap."
"..."
B-Dog merely took a look at the new messages calmly. He put on a fake smile and said "Someone wants to watch Taekwondo, I can’t do it. I only know China’s Kungfu and is enough to perform to the Chinese."
"Kungfu is two words, one vertical and one horizontal. If you are right, then you stand. If you are wrong then you have to fall. Only the standing person has the right to talk. China’s Kungfu may seem to fall into decay. However, there is a saying in the Wulin world, ‘Where there’s a will, there is a way.’ As long as you are still breathing, then you could continue. There are many seniors who contributed to continuing this legacy!"
"The point I wish to highlight is, there are two types of Kungfu – performing and striking. The Kungfu shows are not practical martial arts, those are the performing styles. Speaking of performing, there are no others that can be elegant as it. Taekwondo kicking cannot compare with it, not even its shadow! As for striking... Heihei, once you strike, then you would break the law!"
He pretended to be cool and after a long explanation, the broadcast room started to flow with the message "Bravo". A batch of audiences started to scold and chased out the Taekwondo supporters.
"All right, I have enough rest. Let’s cut the crap; let me show you some real skills!"
He came to an empty field with the legs in reverse V position, the hands at the same width with his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Although he was an expert in the theory of the Eight Extreme Fist, it was the first time he practiced it on a public occasion.
He silently read the incantation and started to practice.
Eight Extreme Fist was a short distance martial art. Its actions were extremely powerful. Technically, it focused on the quick actions and hard attacks. The force was generated by the heel, acted upon by the waist, and passed through the fingertips. Therefore, the explosive force was powerful, full of uniqueness among martial arts.
As the actions of Eight Extreme Fist were forceful, simple and unadorned with powerful explosive force, it embraced its force to hold the world in awe. Hence it led to the saying of "Tai Chi eases the world, Eight Fist sets the universe".
He was fat thus looked big. Nevertheless, his four limbs were long, slim, and quite powerful. Along with the rhythm of the system, it gave the feeling of elegance yet, powerful, even for a beginner. Who knows how it looked in the eyes of experts but at least 3500 of audiences in the broadcast room were stunning by looking at the performance.
He did not stop, feeling comfortable after finish performing.
Looking at the technical column in the system, Eight Extreme Fist was now LV1 (1/10). B-Dog was thinking, since there was a level, then, naturally, leveling-up was necessary. He wanted to know how the Eight Extreme Fist would become after leveling up.
"Freelance Cowboy sends a Buddha Jumps over the Wall to Anchor Chen B-Dog!"
Chen C-Dog sends 5 Lobsters to Anchor Chen B-Dog!"
"..."
The pop-up comments were full of "Bravos", among them were small gifts. B-Dog was shocked, he heard that some tycoons were spending money like water and never stopped sending gifts. He finally witnessed it today. Especially the audience, Chen C-Dog, who sent him the Lobster, obviously registered his account by imitating him.
He was excited and thanked them while setting up two room administrators.
He was having the illusion of being a street performer that kept getting rewards. He mocked himself then, they were the big bosses. After performing for another round, he added some explanations.
Saying some terms that could not understand by novices, or some profound origins, it made the audiences listened to him attentively.
"Eight Extreme Fist requires actual fighting and practicing. Fiercely punch and push hard against the opponent. Repetitive attacks are the main uniqueness of the Eight Extreme Fist. It possesses the strongest value for actual combat. The art of grappling, arm throwing and wrestling practiced by the squad and police force adopted certain values of Eight Extreme Fist.
He then set his head and foot as the universe and the shoulder and knee as the other four positions with the arms were facing each other. Then, emphasized on the technique, "Endure, Pull, Squeeze and Lean, taking every opportunity and acting in consonance to every situation."
He felt great being able to practice again, feeling new experiences gained with every practice. It really was amazing.
