Chapter 135 - Prodigy

Xiao Qiang just laughed, seeing how much Wang Ming struggled to carry him. Patting his shoulder, the man jumped out of Wang Ming's arms.

"Sorry, sorry. I just like to play around. Trainees go back to training! I'd like to speak with Wang Ming in private."

Most of them wanted to still watch, especially the women and the girls. But they had to respect the master, though at least half of them went up to Wang Ming to give them their cards or phone number before walking away. He accepted them all as he didn't want to be rude, but he declined the pervert woman Dai Jiayi.

"Seems like you are pretty popular with women, eh?"

Xiao Qiang smirked at Wang Ming. No one had stirred up so much ruckus in his school ever. Yet he didn't fault Wang Ming as it was totally their fault anyway, but it felt really refreshing.

"Now let's talk business. What was your purpose in coming here today? Are you from another school coming here to stir up trouble?"

"No, I wanted to come here to learn, I have never learned martial arts in my life. But then your daughter tried to scam me, your instructors tried to kick me out, finally Zhou Liwei wanted to cripple my arm. I just want to learn Wing Chun, but it seems like I'm not fated with Wing Chun."

"That's what I thought."

After thinking for a few seconds Xiao Qiang hesitated but then said.

"You're an incredible talent, no you're a prodigy! People regard me as a once in a century talent, but you're even better than me. I could also see that you had little experience in martial arts, at the start of the fight you kept being suppressed by Zhou Liwei. Since he has better technique, understanding and movement. Even though your faster and stronger than him. But then for every bout after that your just got better and better. It looked like you had been faking being bad at fighting or that you're so talented that you could learn years of experience from the fight. Which is impossible, but I don't believe either that you can conceal your skills from my eyes."

Wang Ming didn't feel like he had done anything spectacular, he didn't feel like he had learnt that much from the fight. The biggest benefit he felt like he got from the fight is that his body has gotten more used to true high skill fights. Fighting Zhou Liwei's opened Wang Ming's eyes to a different level of fighting. Even Hou Zhenan's bodyguards didn't come close to Zhou Liwei's level.

Some of them probably had just as good offensive capabilities like Zhou Liwei, but they lacked the footwork, which meant that Wang Ming with his speed and strength could easily knock them out.

"I'm sorry, Mr Xiao. But I don't agree with you. You can call me a fast learner, but to call me a prodigy? I think that's a bit too far. Even if you want to flatter me, you don't need to exaggerate like that."

"What?! Are you insane?"

Xiao Qiang looked genuinely outraged that Wang Ming didn't believe him. Though even if he was just flattering him, shouldn't Wang Ming be happy getting compliments? Who in this world wouldn't be happy when he compliments them? But this also made Xiao Qiang like Wang Ming, he's an honest man.

"Wang Ming, let me tell you something. Zhou Liwe's my disciple I've taught him for over 15 years ever since he was 10 years old. So I know his skill level. Even though his skill level isn't the best in China, my disciple here has won over 5 championsh.i.p.s. Of course championsh.i.p.s are just for show anyway and don't really matter for true martial artists. To my estimation, there should only be 10 thousand people in China that could beat my disciple in a 1 versus 1."

"Don't let that number deceive you there are over 1 billion people in China. There are multiple millions of martial artists here. If we talk about true martial artists, then maybe one million and he's in the top one percent of that group. He has trained for 15 years, while you haven't even trained for 15 hours, and yet you beat him. Even though you're stronger and faster than him, he has beat multiple people almost double his size. So do you really think that you're normal?"

"Well, if you put it like that, then maybe I'm a little special."

Wang Ming hadn't thought about it like that at all. He credited everything to his reinforced body. Xiao Qiang's words put a new perspective in his head. But even then, to tell him he's a martial arts prodigy, that's a bit too much.

"It's fine you don't need to believe me, I'm just telling you it. If you pursue martial arts, then one day you will understand. Now I would love to accept you as my disciple, actually I would be honored if I could become your master. But even I'm not qualified to teach you. There's only one person I know qualified to teach you."

Is it so hard to just learn how to fight? Wang Ming just wanted to become stronger, but problems just keep popping up. He would be fully content learning from Xiao Qiang, but now he's not qualified, then who is? Clearly from what Xiao Lan said about Xiao Qiang he's a well respected martial artist.

"He's my Martial Uncle. My Marital Uncle is not well known in the martial artist world, nor is he strong. He suffered an injury over 30 years ago. If not for the injury, then he would be the strongest in China. But this Uncle of mine is very peculiar, I can only hope that he accepts you."

"What if he doesn't accept me?"

"Then you'll only have to settle for second best. I'll do my best to teach you. I don't know what you want to learn martial arts for, but I can't let your talents go to waste."

"Thank you, Shifu!"

"Don't call me Shifu yet, if my Marital Uncle accepts you, then I must call you for Big Brother!"

"What?"

"Now, let's think about that later. Let's go!"
