Furthermore, given that he had just learned that Dong Wenyu was colluding with ghosts and gods, it's likely that the Tai Sui Gang is not lacking in extraordinary power.

He had heard from Kudo Yuichi that the Tai Sui Gang members were all very skilled fighters, and there was a martial arts instructor who had never shown his face and was very mysterious, but the students he taught were all extremely fierce.

Maybe it's the person right in front of me!

Uncle San shook the wine bottle, drank the last sip, swallowed the last soup dumpling on the table, stood up, stretched, and leisurely strolled into the courtyard.

Like Uesugi Kiyoshi, he was unaffected by wind and rain.

Uesugi Kiyoshi used a wisp of mirage energy to inject it into the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Then, in his line of sight, a conspicuous white fluorescent light enveloped his third uncle.

As expected, this was an extraordinary individual.

Uncle San stopped five steps away from Uesugi Kiyoshi, glanced at his hands, raised an eyebrow, and said indifferently, "Judging from the calluses on your hands, you used weapons?"

"What will you use? A knife? A sword? A gun? Let Fuyao find you one?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't want to take advantage of others, he didn't make any definitive statements.

"If you don't use weapons, then I won't use them either."

"I'm quite confident in my hand-to-hand combat skills."

"Of course, if I am no match for you, I'm afraid I'll have to shamelessly use my sword. Please don't take offense."

Uesugi Kiyoshi knew perfectly well that the purpose of this fight was not just to win.

Rather, it's to demonstrate one's strength—which likely determines one's say in a collaboration.

Since that's the case, let's make that tyrant see clearly, so he doesn't feel like he's entrusted the wrong person and that his partner is a weakling.

Uesugi Kiyoshi performed a kendo salute, took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, but then assumed a triangular stance, with his left hand slightly bent at the elbow and held in front of his chest, while his right hand was slightly bent and extended forward in a fist.

His fists and feet echoed each other, his shoulders and hips formed an undulating line, his knees and elbows subtly joined together, and his whole body exuded an aggressive explosive power.

His eyes were solemn, his mind was focused, and he was calm and composed.

This is the most standard stance in Bajiquan.

It can advance or retreat, attack or defend.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had also learned a lot of martial arts on his own, but his greatest skill and the one he was most talented in was Bajiquan.

Bajiquan is simple, straightforward, and highly practical in combat, and he is willing to spend time studying it.

Now, he used it as a matter of course.

He planned to try using fists and feet first, and if he couldn't win, he'd resort to knives. There was nothing shameful about it; it was just a friendly spar, not a life-or-death battle.

His physical abilities are now abnormally strong, far exceeding the limits of ordinary people. The power of his punches and kicks may not be inferior to that of a sword. The old man said not to hurt the harmony, and he didn't want to start with knives and guns right away and make things too serious.

Seeing this, Uncle San burst out laughing. He turned around and gave Li Taisui a meaningful look, saying pointedly, "Oh, did you see that?"

"His Bajiquan stance is quite standard, but I wonder how good his hand skills are—Old Master, this kid is destined for you!"

Li Taisui also had a strange expression, but he was not in the mood for conversation.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you get into trouble today and suffer at the hands of a young man, don't ever say you know me. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Uncle Three grinned, clearly not having listened.

He turned around, stretched his limbs slightly, and stood in a T-shape, looking somewhat loose. He leaned back slightly, with his palms one in front of the other, extended in front of his chest, slightly clasped together, but not clenched into fists.

"Alright, alright, I'll have to do it again."

He paused, then looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"My surname is Ye. Because of some past events, the name my parents gave me can no longer be used, and they are too lazy to come up with a new one. I am the third child in my family, so my friends all call me Ye San."

Ye San smiled and narrowed his eyes, then clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his left palm and right fist together.

The moment his hands touched, they transformed into a boxing stance.

"Wing Chun Ye San—please!"

Chapter 102 Eight Extremes Wing Chun

The most common way to resolve conflicts in the Yakuza is to take action.

Some gangs often hold "real sword duels" to resolve certain disputes. To put it bluntly, it's turning a group fight into a one-on-one duel to decide the winner.

Kamiizumi Hidekawa made his name in real sword duels and got to know many of the yakuza bosses who would later become incredibly famous.

Therefore, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care that Li Taisui asked him to fight with his men.

However, when he uttered the words "Wing Chun," he still felt a pang of anxiety.

A person's shadow is the name of a tree.

Practicing Wing Chun, and still bearing the surname Ye?

It's either connected to heroic spirits or has a family tradition of martial arts; it's definitely not just fancy moves.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi was choosing martial arts styles, he considered learning Wing Chun, but ultimately rejected the idea.

The reason is simple—it's too difficult.

Without a teacher, he practiced on his own using the boxing manual. The Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu, Biu Gee, and the wooden dummy were all progressively more difficult. Some things could only be understood intuitively and not explained in words. He didn't have the talent to learn swordsmanship, so forcing himself to learn was not cost-effective.

Therefore, he chose Bajiquan, which is less difficult.

Easy things are not necessarily weak, but difficult things are generally strong.

Ye San stood quietly in the rain, his stance somewhat strange, but it was the most standard center-line stance in Wing Chun. Although his body was tilted, his hands always remained on the center line of his body.

The centerline principle can be said to be the core of Wing Chun's basic offensive and defensive techniques, from which both offense and defense originate.

Ye San didn't make the first move, but looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a scrutinizing gaze.

Uesugi Kiyoshi knew that his senior was letting him go first, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

The saying "the first move is invincible" is not just a concept in swordsmanship.

Taking a deep breath, focusing his energy in his dantian, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression became serious and solemn.

He unleashed his full power, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and with his spirit and energy in perfect harmony, he delivered a powerful punch in a horse stance, as swift as a meteor, aimed straight at Ye San's face!

He didn't run there; he crashed into it with his whole body!

Just like a cannonball fired from a gun, the fist is the bullet.

His figure moved like a boat sailing on dry land, forcefully pushing through the rain curtain, creating a whistling sound as he unleashed his unparalleled power.

His feet were stomping and grinding, and his hands were opening doors and supporting hammers.

Uesugi Kiyoshi held back three-tenths of his strength, but if this punch had landed properly, it would probably have been enough to kill an ordinary middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this punch, Ye San and Li Taisui's eyes lit up almost simultaneously.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the skill – this opening move doesn't reveal the depth of skill, but it shows that Uesugi Kiyoshi's fundamentals are incredibly solid.

Ye San didn't stand still any longer. He took a small, quick step, shifting his body slightly to the side. He blocked with his left hand and then swung his right arm, using minimal force to deflect Uesugi Kiyoshi's heavy punch, which just barely missed him.

Then he began to move—literally "swim," like a fish swiftly darting through the water, or like a duckweed adrift in the wind and rain, yet refusing to fall. His steps were somewhat unsteady, yet methodical. His body would occasionally tilt into a rhombus or triangle, but his lower body remained stable. As he moved, he clenched his fists with both hands, the fists emerging from his chest, the power originating from his elbows, and the elbows propelling the fists.

The standard series of straight punches, each containing a formidable inch-force.

Ye San spun around in the rain like a windmill, with Uesugi Kiyoshi at the center, his feet moving in a continuous stream of straight punches, each with a tricky angle. For a moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt as if he were surrounded by a tidal wave of fists.

"This is too exaggerated!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi cursed inwardly. He tried to parry at first, but after taking a few punches, he was overwhelmed. Using his shoulders, elbows, and fists was useless. His upper body was constantly being punched. Although with his physical strength, these punches were not enough to knock him down, they hurt a lot!

"Is this... the Bridge of Destiny?"

"I've never seen such an outrageous bridge-finding technique!"

He didn't want to be passively beaten, so he made a decisive response. Despite taking two more punches, he bent his arms into elbows, brought his elbows together in front of his chest, took a big step forward, and smashed through Ye San's fist shadow, breaking through the encirclement.

Ye San did not pursue, but instead took two steps back, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi with interest. He stopped where he was, flicked his sleeves, and looked relaxed.

He remained calm, as if he hadn't just thrown dozens or even hundreds of punches.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't hesitate for long. Wing Chun is a fast style of punching, and Bajiquan is not slow either.

However, his first punch was broken, he lost the initiative and fell into Ye San's endless counterattacks. He was like a person who had fallen into a quagmire, and he could not use his skills.

Of course, he wasn't making excuses. To be honest, that punch he just delivered was a punch he was in excellent form—fast and powerful. It was a punch that could overcome strength with softness and break free from his own punching stance. If he were in that situation, Uesugi Kiyoshi knew he couldn't do it.

This Master Ye is amazing!

But he doesn't want to admit defeat; he never did before, and he doesn't want to now.

There is no retreating in Bajiquan.

Instead of using a roundabout tactic, Uesugi Kiyoshi lunged forward again, increasing his speed by another third. This time, he threw a left punch at Ye San's chest—he wanted to disrupt Ye San's "center line".

He had never practiced Wing Chun, but he had seen it all. The most effective way to deal with Wing Chun was to disrupt the opponent's center line and completely throw off their rhythm.

Ye San smiled with delight, seemingly satisfied with Uesugi Kiyoshi's choice, but he didn't fall for it—he used the same trick again, blocking the force with his hand and slapping Uesugi Kiyoshi's fist away, trying to neutralize this powerful attack once more.

Uesugi Kiyoshi will not fall in the same place twice.

Whether it's swordsmanship or hand-to-hand combat, you have to use your brain when you fight.

He was prepared long ago. When Ye San blocked his fist, he reacted quickly, turning his fist into a palm and stretching his arm lightly.

With a tug and a pull, like drifting clouds or entwined silk threads, Uesugi Kiyoshi grabbed Ye San's right hand!

Then, despite taking a punch from Ye San, he unwaveringly bent his right arm into an elbow, which was hidden behind his back, and swung it diagonally towards Ye San's chest as if it were spring-loaded.

At the same time, he exerted force with his left hand, pulling inward and drawing Ye San's body towards himself.

Bajiquan, Cloud Hands Entangling, Connecting with the Two Forms Elbow.

The effects of forces are reciprocal.

The kind of scene often depicted in TV dramas, where a punch sends someone flying, the force is dissipated and then transferred to a wall or the ground, resulting in minimal damage to the enemy.

This method of firmly fixing and controlling the enemy's body before forcefully slamming them down is the deadly killing move.

Cloud Hands Entanglement is a rare soft move in Bajiquan, which uses skillful force to lock the opponent's joints and is known as "Golden Threads Entangling the Wrist".
