Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

Coming to his senses, Yuan Heping refrained from commenting and instead addressed Yuan Xiangren again.

"Ah Ren, give us another set of Arhat Fist!"

Ten minutes later.

"Aren, Fuhu Fist!"

Twenty minutes later...

Yuan Heping fell silent.

Li Lianjie, who was next to him, and Yang Ziqiong, Yuan Jieying, and others who were further away, were all dumbfounded.

"Is it really possible for someone in this world to learn a set of boxing techniques after watching it only twice, and then perform it quite well, even rivaling their master?"

"If this were a martial arts novel, he'd be a genius protagonist like Yang Guo or Zhang Wuji!"

Yang Ziqiong looked shocked.

Yuan Jieying's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Yuan Xiangren, who was in the audience, stepped forward and patted He Xi's arm with a helpless expression.

"Hey bro, why are you learning so fast? And you play so well!"

"Wouldn't that make us old folks who've practiced martial arts for half our lives look useless?"

He Xi chuckled and scratched his head.

"It's not that I learn quickly, it's mainly because you taught me so well, Uncle Ren!"

"By the way, Uncle Ren, do you have any of those techniques like 'Sleeping Arhat Fist,' 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms,' 'Six Meridian Divine Sword,' or 'Breast-Stretching Palm'?"

"I want to learn... oh no, I can buy it!"

Yuan Xiangren smiled and rolled his eyes at him.

"What Sleeping Arhat Fist or Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? Do you think we're making a movie?"

"Those are all fake, little buddy!"

"But Ah Xing mastered the 'Buddha's Palm' technique you gave him!"

He Xi muttered something under her breath.

Across from him, Yuan Heping stared at He Xi's face for a full two and a half minutes before slowly speaking.

"Xi-zai, you really...have never learned kung fu before?"

He Xi nodded earnestly.

"Yes, I was always in school before I went to study in Canada at the age of 15. I worked part-time in my spare time and only came back this summer."

Yuan Heping, still somewhat unwilling to give up, pressed on with the question.

"Then how come you have such a great figure?"

It's a system reward, of course!

This reason couldn't be given aloud, so He Xi had to make one up on the spot.

"Well, it's probably because I did manual labor when I was doing odd jobs, and I was on the school basketball team, so I trained a lot and that's why I'm in better shape."

Yuan Heping let out a long sigh of relief.

"So, there really are martial arts prodigies in this world who can learn anything at a glance. I thought martial arts novels were all just made up."

"But it's fine this way."

"Xi-zai, you have a great appearance, you're handsome and have a good figure, which fits the image of Dong Tianbao very well."

"Besides, you learn things so quickly, those action scenes shouldn't be a problem for you."

"This role is yours!"

"I'll discuss the fee with the boss. Go back and pack your things; we'll head to the mainland to film in three days!"

And so, after a brief and somewhat absurd audition...

He Xi successfully landed the role of Dong Tianbao, the main villain in "Tai Chi Master".

A ruthless character in the movie who is incredibly powerful and arrogant, shouting, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens; whether I am a demon or an immortal is up to me."

(doge emoji ૮₍˶•ᴗ•˶₎ა……)

Furthermore, during the audition, he used his time to learn three sets of boxing techniques for free.

Unfortunately, this is not a fantasy or martial arts world.

Otherwise, He Xiguang could have used his copying ability in the "high-energy state" to obtain all the martial arts techniques in the world and become a living encyclopedia of martial arts techniques.

He Xi was very happy to get the new role.

Christy Chung was also very happy for him.

But after the initial joy came the reluctance to part.

【Tai Chi Master】is a film produced by Jet Li’s Eastern Productions, a co-production with mainland China, and most of the filming locations were in mainland China.

He Xi, the major villain with a significant role, naturally had to go to the mainland as well.

And it's very likely that we'll have to stay there throughout the entire filming process.

This was somewhat unbearable for Christy Chung, who had just come to understand the meaning of life.

Many things you won't think about much until you've experienced them, but once you've experienced them, it's hard not to think about them.

But for actors, meeting is accidental, while separation is the norm.

So she quickly adjusted her mindset.

"These next few days, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed, and even Jesus can't save you, I'm telling you!"

Christy Chung said it, and she did it.

Just then, her scenes for "King of Destruction" were also completed.

She then took a few days off from work, intending to completely drain He Xi...

All I can say is that the idea was very appealing, but the reality was quite different.

He Xi himself was strong and powerful, with formidable combat strength.

In addition, there's the bug bonus from the "High Energy State".

In the end, it was Christy Chung who surrendered first...

He Xi was quite satisfied.

Under his persuasive words, Chung Li-ti made numerous requests for help throughout the process.

Although I did not receive any special rewards like the [Water-Cutting Karate] again.

However, the "High Energy Time" reward accumulated to more than 20 hours.

These should be enough for He Xi to use for a while.

Two and a half days later, Zhong Liti nestled in He Xi's arms and said with a wrinkled nose.

"I heard them say that conditions in the mainland are poor, and hygiene, food safety, and environmental conditions are all very bad."

"Take good care of yourself over there."

"If there's nothing else, try not to leave the film set and act alone. If something happens, don't try to stand up for yourself."

"Your safety is the most important thing, understand?"

At that time, the mainland was indeed very backward.

Coupled with the deliberate promotion by certain movies and individuals, the mainland has directly become the ancestral homeland of barbarism in the minds of many Hong Kong, Taiwan and even overseas Chinese.

The stereotypes in Hollywood movies about Chinese people wearing long robes, practicing martial arts, and using ki blasts to attack others at the slightest provocation are not new, dating back 20 or 30 years.

Christy Chung, who grew up in Canada, is naturally subject to stereotypes and prejudices.

He Xi did not refute, but simply nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes!"

Regardless, he could feel the other person's concern.

As for what he does after he goes to the mainland, that's his own business.

After feeding Zhong Liti, He Xi, with only a few bags, followed "Tai Chi Master Zhang Sanfeng" and boarded a flight to the mainland.

In 93, He Xi was meeting someone from mainland China for the first time.

In the original timeline, he had just been born and didn't have much of an impression of this era.

The plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport. Looking at the unfamiliar airport, which was much smaller and more dilapidated than I had imagined, and the desolate land around the airport where almost no buildings could be seen, I was struck by its desolation.

He Xi also felt a sense of loss and regret.

However, compared to the crew members who were nervous and afraid of being robbed, stolen from, or injured when they came to the mainland for the first time, He Xi was very relaxed.

Although this era only experienced the first crackdown, social order was not as good as it was thirty years later after four crackdowns.

But no matter what, it can't be worse than Hong Kong Island, where gangsters are everywhere.

These people don't seem to mind seeing gangsters fighting in the streets of Hong Kong, but they become afraid when they come to the mainland.

How pretentious!
