CHAPTER 1333 MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITION

"There's a big difference," said Jiang Ning calmly. "To me, each movement can transform into a thousand others, but to you, it seems like there's no difference."

Tan Xing blinked and wasn't sure what Jiang Ning meant by that.

"These are all the basics of Chinese boxing techniques, and the foundation of its very nature,” explained Jiang Ning. "You could also say that any other boxing technique can be derived from this manual, and any other formation or set of techniques can come from this same manual."

Tan Xing took a deep breath.

He was beginning to understand what Jiang Ning was saying.

Of course he knew that this Extreme Fist Technique Manual wasn't simple at all. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many people trying to hunt it down.

But after seeing it for himself, he felt that it didn't seem all that special either.

"A lot of people are curious about the manual and I can put it up on display because there are very few who can truly understand it." Jiang Ning laughed. "Or at least there aren't any among all those people who've tried to take it."

"You're so sure?” Tan Xing was hesitant.

"Aren't you afraid that someone can understand it? Then that would be a terrible loss." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Loss?" Jiang Ning shook his head. "It'll be great if someone could understand it. The martial arts circle has been in shambles for years now, so I actually hope that it can be revived.”

"Chinese martial arts is the essence of our country, and the spirit of Chinese martial arts really shouldn't be just lost in the long river of history. Elder Tan, isn't that what you hoped for too?”

Tan Xing remained silent for a long time.

This was something that was easy to say, but too difficult to do.

He wasn't talking about reviving the martial arts circle, but about how Jiang Ning was willing to just put the manual pages up for others to see.

Nobody else would have been willing to share any of this.

So many people wanted a piece of this treasure and kept it close to themselves so that they could study it closely. Once they understood it, they would be able to gain great fame and fortune!

But Jiang Ning was here saying that he didn't mind letting others see it at all.

"Punk, I'm really beginning to admire you more and more,” sighed Tan Xing as he looked at Jiang Ning. "I'm embarrassed to say that I really don't have the same broadmindedness as you do."

"Since you're decided, then I'll get this settled. This face of mine is still pretty useful."

He folded the manual pages neatly and returned them to Jiang Ning.

"I'm sure His Lordship and the rest would never have thought that you would react this way."

Even he didn't think Jiang Ning would make such a decision despite being in close contact with Jiang Ning, never mind His Lordship.

"They want to fish me out, and guess what, I'm going fishing too. It's just that they're hoping to catch me, while I'm hoping to fish out the greater and deeper secret behind all these people."

Jiang Ning didn't have to worry about the details.

He had always been like this. He was already used to just being an overseer.

Jiang Ning continued to make tea in the office while Tan Xing walked out.

Fang Qiu was still sitting in the middle of the academy and waited for the next person to come and attempt to take the manual pages.

"Elder Tan!"

"Elder Tan is here!"

"Greetings, Elder Tan!"

All the students greeted Tan Xing respectfully when they saw him.

Fang Qiu didn't budge at all.

He didn't have any regard for anyone in all of Donghai except for Jiang Ning.

In fact, he didn't have any regard for Jiang Ning, except that he couldn't defeat Jiang Ning in a fight.

"I would like to make an announcement." Tan Xing ignored Fang Qiu and continued speaking, "Recently, a lot of people have come here to challenge the academy. As such, Jiang Ning has made the decision to hold our very first martial arts competition so that everyone can exchange pointers."

After he said that, everyone started getting excited and rubbed their palms.

"Whoever lasts till the end and gets first place will win the right to see the pages of the technique manual that Jiang Ning has!"
