NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
“Splash~”
B-Dog returned. He came out from the water like a water dragon, grabbing some snow and rubbing it on his body. He then said to the camera, “Ishh, so cold. Winter swims are good for the body but for weak people, please do not try it alone. Not everyone can bear it. Both my legs and arms have almost no feeling. Since there is no fire or sun, I cannot put on the clothes immediately as the water on my body will freeze. It is easy to catch a cold if I put on the clothes now. You may use the snow to rub your skin, using its low temperature to freeze the water into ice. Then, you only need to wipe them off.”
He continuously used snow to rub his skin until it turned red. Next, he used his jacket to dry his hair. He could feel that his nose was blocked and knew he could catch a chill. Therefore, he immediately put on his clothes.
He took a pose. The traditional martial art, “horse stance” and the footwork was very important. One must understand the scrapping and stamping of the foot. While walking, he recited the chant, “Body upright, toes be firm, knee slightly bent, hip at the waist, elbows on the knee, body staying relaxed.”
Then he started to practice Eight Extreme Fist, “Mighty eight poses!”
“Hold the fist, bow stays tight, arrow will flow.”
“Surrender the dragon, the five mountains above the sky”
“Control the tiger, six directions dedicated to the earth”
“Embrace the tiger, make a circle to stop the tiger”
“Squat like a bear, a hard squeeze position”
“A harsh palm, chopping weapons power up”
“Exploring hand, prepare to get into exploration”
“Pushing like a crane, crane steps stand firmly”
Chen B-Dog was singing the chant loudly, it was extremely remarkable when he displayed the mighty eight poses of Eight Extreme Fist. “The power of Eight Extreme Fist is all about tight, shocking, and sudden attacks. Tight, like the force of earthquake; shocking, like the vibration of the mountains; sudden attacks, the attack must be sudden and straightforward. Once you play, the six parts, that is, shoulder, elbow, fist, hip, knee and leg, must be connected. The force of the power is as strong as a tight bow, having an explosive shot like thunder. The poses are quick and fast like the flash of lightning.”
His voice was firm and powerful. Even it was separated by the monitor, his passion had ignited the audience in the live broadcast room.
There was a saying in the martial arts world, “Teach the fist, not the footwork, once you teach the footwork, students can surpass the teachers”. It really showed the importance of footwork in actual combat. Even if you are good at kicking, but without the agile footwork, it was difficult to approach the opponent to strike your best. As the saying went, “Correct footwork is better than hundreds of practices”, the agile footwork could decode the fierce attack of the opponents and turned them into victory.
Besides, in between moving forward, backward, leftward, rightward, it was important to maintain balance and necessary to have the correct chanting formula. Only then would you be able to perform efficiently and effectively.
Once he started to exercise, his fist range started getting larger.
The coldness on his skin slowly dispersed. Water vapor started rising on his head, looking like something out of a fantasy. Suddenly, it started snowing heavily. The snowflakes fell on the tree branches, on the leaves, on his head, face, shoulders, but did not affect him at all.
“In the technique of Eight Fist Extreme, it is essential that if the opponent is not moving then I shall not move. If both parties are not moving, then I would tempt him by waving the hands. Immediately I will attack like thunder, a close explosion, and a continuous attack, close cut, close grab. You need to fight strongly!”
He drew a circle in front of his breast, with his left leg bent; his right toe drew a fantasy arc on the snow.
“Boom!”
From stationary to moving, his arm merely shook and the snow on his body was flung away. His arms were like a paddle, rowing up the tracks in the sky, making the snowflakes dance beautifully. He was fiercely strong in throwing a fist; yet, stopping softly, just like an unknown master practicing his fist alone in a snowy land.
The AI camera was imitating the experience of the most advanced photographer. It took his moment of throwing fists just like filming a special-effects action movie; taking from all angles and lengthening his wonderful moments. You could also hear the explosive sound of the fist breaking the wind.
At last, he returned to his original stance. The breath was transferred from coccyx to the neck, waist, and then returned to the abdomen. The palms were pressing down slowly and a breath was exhaled slowly. This breath was exhaled like a long arrow, growing to a foot long before it dispersed into the sky.
Due to that magical moment, the audience in the live broadcast room almost exploded.
“Ahhhhh, I am going crazy. I just woke up, my pee is going to leak.”
“I exploded. You blew out an arrow, is this inner strength?”
“This is indeed real Kungfu. I have seen an old Kungfu master playing Tai-Chi at the park, the breath was not as long as Lord B-Dog.”
“Didn’t we promise to be losers together? Why did Lord B-Dog become so macho?”
“Lord B-Dog, you are Tianjin’s number 1!”
“So handsome, after watching your fist, I have decided to reload some money for the first time and send you a gift.”
“Lord B-Dog, when are you going to take apprentices?”
Sunset Dust, “Super handsome, super macho, I want to have a baby with you.”
B-Dog was satisfied with the outcome of the training. Just now, the proficiency increased 50 points, making him understand that it was not only point accumulation that would increase the proficiency. To feel the inner essence, energy, and spirit of the fist were the most essential keys.
There were many moves in the Eight Extreme Fist with weapons. The most popular would be Six Directions Large Spear, Six Directions Flowing Spear, Pacing Rod, Eight Head Rod, Pure Yang Royal Sword and others. If there was a chance, he had to get some weapons as well.
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room had exceeded 50 thousand for the first time. B-Dog smiled. “Thank you all for the gifts. Thanks to Chief Cow, C-Dog, and Sunset Lady for the Buddha Jump over the Wall. There are many I missed out, thanks everyone. And I welcome the new friends to my live broadcast room, I will bring everyone to learn more skills in future; rock climbing, parachuting, flying knives, shooting etc. Please click follow if you like it, you will never lose your way if you follow me.”
Just as he finished talking, the number of followers increased dramatically. It was going to exceed eight thousand in the blink of an eye. When he went back to check his weight routinely, the number of followers was already going to exceed ten thousand. He did not continue practicing the fist, but the number of people in the live broadcast room did not decrease at all.
After this live broadcast, his broadcasting career was officially on the right path. Even at the dawn, the popularity in the live broadcast room was not less than ten thousand people. He trained his body and practiced the skills systematically, then went to the library when he was free to enrich his knowledge.
The acting crew at the Heng Dian would normally join a few Wechat groups created by the actor’s crew leaders. When there was a vacancy, the leader would announce the news in the group and counted the name list of actors that joined.
The incident about B-Dog saving Hu Ge was repeatedly discussed in the group. Everyone was saying that he would have bright future soon.
“There is a scene in a patriotic drama tomorrow. We still lack ten invading soldiers, you are welcome to register.”
The leader “Chen San” shared the news like usual and there were a few people that responded. After he counted, they were still lacking one person. After some time, when there was no response, he shouted then, “Still lacking one, is anyone joining?”
“Uncle San, count me in.”
“All right, it is full now. Eh, B-Dog? Aren’t you following Hu Ge to make a living? Why are you still at Heng Dian?” Chen San was the uncle in his family. He would normally call him Uncle San. When he came to Heng Dian after graduating, he sought for his help. Usually he would help Uncle San and could be considered as the vice leader. He had disappeared during the period when he was injured. Even Uncle San thought he had left with Hu Ge.
“B-Dog, which B-Dog?”, “That B-Dog who saved Hu Ge.”, “Seriously? Isn’t the movie about to launch?”, “He-he, most likely he was dumped, it is not easy to lick a superstar’s boots.” …
The appearance of the “celebrity”, Chen B-Dog, had drawn the attention of many people, including those who silently lurked in the group.
Chen B-Dog looked at the responses in the group and felt annoyed. Uncle San had sent him a private message, asking what was going on. After B-Dog gave his explanation, Uncle San had remained silent and replied after some time, “It is good to stay, you are gifted in acting. Just need some luck and chance.”
