"Chinese martial arts are profound and extensive, with a long history. Although many profound martial arts have been lost in the long historical process, real Chinese martial arts are not just the performance-oriented 'dance-like' techniques that everyone sees on TV..."
Su Yu-Fei stood in front of dozens of new members who had just joined the 'Martial Arts Association' a few days ago, talking about some general information about Chinese martial arts.
Among the dozens of new members of the martial arts association, the ratio of men to women was roughly equal. Everyone wore the uniform training clothes of the martial arts association. These freshmen had just finished military training a few days ago and lined up in a fairly neat queue, looking like they had some spirit.
"When it comes to actual combat, many of you may think that Chinese martial arts are far inferior to Taekwondo, boxing, or Muay Thai. But I can tell you very clearly that traditional Chinese martial arts are in no way inferior to these fighting techniques. The reason why Chinese martial arts seem so weak and only suitable for performance nowadays is because those who claim to represent 'Chinese martial arts' on stage and on TV are mostly just a bunch of incompetent people who only know how to show off their fancy moves."
"I might as well tell you directly, I was born into a martial arts family, and the traditional martial art passed down in my family is a branch of 'Xingyiquan'. You may not believe what I'm saying, but I can give you a little demonstration to let you see that real martial arts are not just about looking good with fancy moves."
As she spoke, Su Yu Fei nodded to the two elderly members of the Martial Arts Association beside her. They immediately understood and took out a wooden board about an inch thick that had been prepared in advance from one side, with each person holding one end to fix it in place in front of Su Yu Fei.
At this time, Su Yu Fei said to the new members of the 'Martial Arts Association' below: "If any of you have doubts, you can come up and check this wooden board carefully. This is absolutely not a prop with a hollowed-out middle, but a real solid wood board!"
Upon hearing Su Yu Fei's words, several people couldn't help but satisfy their curiosity and ran over to carefully examine the wooden board. Some even stretched out their hands to knock on it and listen to the sound, and indeed it didn't seem hollow.
After a moment, when those people went down, Su Yu Fei said: "Everyone look!"
After finishing speaking, Su Yuwei suddenly punched the wooden board. All that could be heard was a "pa" sound, and Su Yuwei's small fist, which looked white and tender, actually directly punched out a hole in the inch-thick wooden board!
Seeing this, the students below were shocked and no one could have imagined that Su Yu Fei, who looked so delicate, would be so fierce! One punch directly made a hole in the wooden board that was over an inch thick. Moreover, she looked effortless.
"Sister Su is so amazing! She actually managed to punch through that wooden board with just one fist!"
"Really, I didn't expect Sister Su to be so fierce! She looks like a gentle and quiet person, but her skills are probably not something that three or five ordinary men can handle."
……
Upon hearing the students' astonished discussions, Su Yu Fei couldn't help but smile, "Just now I was just casually showing you all. In fact, for a truly skilled martial artist, this wooden board can be easily pierced even if three to five of them are stacked together. Even granite of such thickness cannot withstand their fist's might."
"Sister Su Xue, is that really true? Can you even shatter such a thick granite with just one punch?" A student couldn't help but ask out loud immediately.
"Really? Su Xue, can you break through such a thick granite with one punch? Otherwise, let's see it again!"
"Really, really..."
Dozens of students looked at Su Yu with curiosity, their faces filled with excitement. For every Chinese person, especially young people, the yearning for martial arts or "martial arts" in their hearts is something that people from other countries can hardly understand.
Now seeing what seems to be a real 'martial arts master' in front of them, they naturally want to experience it for themselves.
Su Yu Fei looked at the expectant younger schoolmates in front of her and smiled, saying: "If it's just a thick granite, I can still break it. But it's not easy to find granite here. How about this, let's go outside and find a brick to substitute instead."
"Good!" Those students suddenly shouted excitedly upon hearing this.
"Zhang Ming, go outside and see if you can find a brick to bring over." Su Yu said to an old member of the 'Martial Arts Association' beside her.
"Uh-huh. I'll go take a look." A boy named Zhang Ming responded, and immediately walked out of the gym to find bricks outside.
At this time, a boy standing on the other side walked towards Su Yu Fei, "Yu Fei, I think it's better for me to demonstrate it to them. As the saying goes, 'killing a chicken with an ox knife', your skills are much more powerful than mine, so let me take care of this small matter."
"Who's that?" Su Yu Fen glanced at the person, who was the one she had met after running into Zhao Yang that day and asked her what kind of person Zhao Yang was. His name was He Yun Feng, a junior like Su Yu Fen, and also one of the vice presidents of the 'Martial Arts Association'.
Su Yu Fei wasn't particularly interested in him, but since their families had known each other for generations, she often found herself having to go along with things.
Su Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, then you can show everyone next time."
Su Yu Fei was well aware that He Yun Feng liked to show off, and his words just now were just an excuse. However, Su Yu Fei himself was not someone who liked to reveal his skills in front of others, so since He Yun Feng wanted to show off, he simply went along with it and let him come.
Before long, Zhang Ming ran back with several bricks. It just so happened that a section of the road in front of H's house needed to be repaired, so Zhang Ming was able to find these bricks easily.
"Zhang Ming, take these few pieces of floor tiles to He Yunfeng. Also, go get two more blocks to block it temporarily, so that the debris from the floor tiles won't fly out and hurt someone later." Su Yuwei said.
"Uh-huh." Zhang Ming nodded, handing the two bricks to He Yunfeng, and then went with another person to fetch two shields from the side.
At this time, Su Yuwei clapped her hands and said to the students below: "Just now, Vice President He Yunfeng said that he would show everyone how to break bricks with his bare hands. Now, let's all move back a bit, lest we get hurt by the flying debris later."
When they heard Su Yu Fei's words, those students quickly dispersed. Although it wasn't Su Yu Fei who demonstrated personally, which made everyone a bit disappointed, as long as they could witness the prowess of martial arts, it didn't matter who did the demonstration.
Looking around at the younger students who were staring at him with curious and expectant eyes, He Yunfeng couldn't help but smile slightly with a hint of pride, holding up one of the bricks as he walked to the front of the crowd...
