The disastrous facts of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 were before us. Today, the people of the Qing Dynasty seemed to have a sense of blood shame and wished that Chen Tianhua would win completely.

The competition is about to begin. The first sub-event is hand-to-hand combat. This is a very exciting traditional martial arts show and is very popular with the audience.

The rules of today's competition are very cruel. Only when one party falls to the ground and the referee cannot get up after counting to ten, or one party takes the initiative to raise the white flag, will he lose.

Otherwise, the two sides will fight to the end and bear the responsibility for the consequences of casualties. However, weapons, concealed weapons, etc. are not allowed to be used during the competition.

The Japanese instructor who appears is named Shibuya Ichiro, who is Mr. Li's classmate at the Tokyo Army Military Academy.

According to what Sun Yong told Chen Tianhua, Shibuya was a top-notch Tang player.

Chen Tianhua understood as soon as he heard it that the "Tang Shou" Sun Yong talked about was later known as karate. It was a folk fighting technique developed in the Sulfur Islands and Okinawa hundreds of years ago.

Because the Sulfur Ball Islands have been Chinese islands since the Tang Dynasty, the ancient Chinese boxing and martial arts were introduced to the Sulfur Ball Islands and mixed with local fighting skills, which are called "Tang Shou".

It was not until the mid-1930s that Tang Shou was officially renamed Karate. This change was still nearly thirty years away.

Before Shibuya Ichiro attended the Tokyo Army Military Academy, he lived on the island of Okinawa since he was a child, so he learned the true meaning of karate.

It's just that there are many schools of karate, and there are four famous schools in later generations. I don't know which school Shibuya belongs to.

Chen Tianhua knew him. At Li Cunzhi's birthday party that year, Shibuya Ichiro once played a game of recreational chess with him.

The result was that Chen Tianhua won.

This time when old rivals meet, they are extremely jealous!

"Chen Sang, are you practicing Chinese Kung Fu or Western boxing?"

Shibuya's question made the surrounding referees and supervisors feel puzzled.

The reality is that Easterners are both mysterious and despised about Chinese Kung Fu, and think that most Chinese Kung Fu is just a show.

After Chen Tianhua frowned, he loudly said to Shibuya Ichiro:

"Sorry Mr. Shibuya, the Kung Fu I know may not be the same as the Chinese Kung Fu you know. I created it myself."

These words are not pretentious, but true. Chen Tianhua uses world fighting techniques, which are killing techniques used by professional agents.

Of course, he can only respond to his opponents with so-called self-creation.

But to the ears of Shibuya and others, this was obviously a mockery.

"Well, let me learn Chen Sang's self-made kung fu!"

I saw him clenching his fists, stretching his body, running around in place, and moving his body. He was about to go into battle.

In the eyes of these Japanese people, Chen Tianhua was considered tall among the Qing people in East Asia, but he was not very big, well-proportioned but not burly.

Don’t know where his kung fu is hidden?

Chen Tianhua consciously restrained his momentum.

Shibuya Ichiro is seven or eight centimeters shorter than Chen Tianhua, but he is very strong, with a muscular back and a strong body.

Despite his young age, his Tang Shou Kung Fu is a top-notch master in the military.

He has a beard with a beard, his eyes are bright, and there is a fierce aura from his body.

When Shibuya began to move his body, the loose clothes could not hide the muscle lumps all over his body. Even Chen Er and other members of the Third Association, who had no knowledge of karate, could see it.

This is the second time we met Shibuya today. The impression he gave Chen Tianhua last time was that he was down-to-earth and meticulous. Although he is arrogant, this is a common problem among Japanese people and does not belong to his personality.

Chen Tianhua is very familiar with karate. He is very curious and wants to try the level of karate in Shibuya to see the difference between karate that has been practiced for more than a hundred years and later generations.

"Mr. Shibuya, let's put on protective gear." Chen Tianhua suggested. He didn't want either party to be seriously injured.

Shibuya shook his head and sneered:

"Don't worry, Chen Sang. You are the son-in-law of the Li family and brother-in-law of Li Sang. I will take precautions and will not cause serious harm to you."

Oh my god, there really is such a confident guy.

Chen Tianhua smiled awkwardly and continued to Shibuya Ichiro: "Mr. Shibuya, I'm afraid of hurting you! So, let's put on protective gear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese personnel present and some training camp officers and soldiers chuckled.

Anyone who knows Shibuya knows that he is very powerful in fighting. During training, many students were unable to get up for a long time after being struck by him, and some were seriously injured.

They ridiculed Chen Tianhua for his ignorance.

Chen Er, Gu Zhunian and other members of the Third Association also started laughing, but their smiles had different meanings from those of the others present.

They were ridiculing Shibuya for not overestimating his abilities and daring to show off his skills in front of the eldest young master. You must know that Chen Tianhua's strongest skill is unarmed fighting, which is better than his marksmanship.

Chen Tianhua didn't care what the outside world was laughing at. He seemed to insist on wearing protective gear. He actually wanted to avoid seriously injuring Shibuya as much as possible. After all, this was just a martial arts competition, not a life-and-death duel. It was life and death.

He doesn't want to anger the top Japanese military officials yet.

Precisely because Shibuya Ichiro's kung fu is not weak, he is still very powerful. If you want to defeat your opponent, you need to go all out. There is no way to control the rhythm and strength during the fight, so you need to wear protective gear.

If the opponent is weak, he can control the situation without using protective gear.

Shibuya Ichiro didn't smile this time. He seemed to see Chen Tianhua's persistence and did not want to be seriously injured, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, just follow Chen Sang's advice and wear protective gear."

Soon, the referee brought two sets of protective gear, a chest protective gear, a lower protective gear, and protective gloves.

These training protective gears from the late Qing Dynasty were not as heavy, strong, thin and light as those made in later generations. The material was buffalo leather. It was said to be for protection rather than to reduce the severity of injuries.

Both Chen Tianhua and Shibuya put on protective gear, but they did not wear protective gloves because Shibuya objected.

After waiting for everything to be done, but before the referee called start, Shibuya waved to Chen Tianhua anxiously and said in a condescending manner:

"Come on Chen Sang, go all out and let me see what your strength is?"

Chen Tianhua didn't say anything anymore. He kept a distance from Shibuya and turned around twice, facing each other.

Chen Tianhua roared loudly, lunged forward, and punched Shibuya in the face.

He generally likes to strike first.

Shibuya's reaction made Chen Tianhua feel familiar.

While his opponent turned his head to avoid his punch, he silently kicked his right foot towards his crotch.

This move is often encountered by Chen Tianhua in karate fighting. It is very simple and very fierce.

During a mission abroad in his previous life, when he killed an enemy named Belly Snake, Chen Tianhua used this trick to fight back.

Since you are familiar with this trick, you can certainly resolve it easily.

He snorted coldly, retracted his right fist, circled his leg and collided with Shibuya's right foot with his left knee.
