I will practice more in the United States

However, Li Ang just smiled and shook his head without responding to her words.

Although Gao Ranran was a good person, Li Ang had no intention of having any deeper contact with her. After all, he was destined not to be with just one person until old age. In other words, he could not give up the entire Amazon jungle for a tree. In this case, it would be better not to waste her time.

"Okay, let's say goodbye here. If you have the opportunity to travel to the United States in the future, you can contact me and I promise to make clear arrangements for you."

After Li Ang finished speaking, he parted with them without any reluctance.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the gains from this trip. In addition to obtaining the "Xisui Jing", the experience of revisiting my hometown is also unique.

On the way down the mountain, Li Ang suddenly looked at Nie Zhaofeng and asked out of the blue:
"If you need any help, just tell me. I'm quite free these days."

He had long noticed that Nie Zhaofeng's enthusiasm this time was a little abnormal, and he probably encountered something. However, he did not avoid his enthusiasm. After all, with him as a middleman in Shaolin Temple, many things would be easier to handle.

Moreover, for the time being, nothing could be considered difficult for him.

Nie Zhaofeng scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"nor"

After two seconds, afraid that he was being too polite, he continued:

"In fact, I did encounter some minor difficulties and needed Chairman Li's help."

"If you have anything to say, just say it. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."

"It's like this. You know, my hometown is in Guangdong. There has always been a custom in our village."

After Nie Zhaofeng finished speaking hesitantly, Li Ang almost understood. In fact, he just needed to take action once and participate in the competition among the young people in their village.

The reason why he felt embarrassed to say it was mainly because he needed Li Ang to pretend to be his junior, which made him feel that it might be somewhat offensive to Li Ang.

"I have been saying for years that I am doing quite well in America, and I have a lot of disciples. This time, the village grandfather contacted me specifically, hoping that I would bring back a few powerful disciples to bring honor to our lineage. However, the ones I recruited in the martial arts school are all foreign devils. Not only are they looked down upon when they are brought back, but their strength is also not up to par."

"It just so happens that you, Chairman Li, have just returned to China, so I thought of asking you to help me with this."

Li Ang nodded. After all, it would be nice to go sightseeing and experience the local customs and culture.

Compared to the heavier dishes in Hubei, the taste in Guangdong is more in line with the eating habits of these Americans.
Nie Zhaofeng took them to experience various roast goose, roast duck, roast meat, boiled chicken, traditional Chinese soup, clay pot rice, and Cantonese herbal tea.

"Roast goose, oyster red, love red!"

Seeing them all giving thumbs up, Nie Zhaofeng also felt a sense of accomplishment.

After eating and drinking, everyone set off for Nie Zhaofeng’s hometown.

Although this place is at the village level, the surrounding infrastructure and population density are no less than those of some small counties. It can be said that it broadened the horizons of these Americans.

"Ah Feng, you're back! Are these the disciples you brought back from the United States?"

Not long after they entered the village, they met the grandfather who came to greet them. If it had been before, Nie Zhaofeng would definitely not have had this status, but this time it was different. Their lineage could only rely on the people Nie Zhaofeng brought back to win glory.

"Grandpa, this is the disciple I took in America."

Nie Zhaofeng pointed at Li Ang and introduced him, then looked at the group of foreigners next to him and said:
"These are some of my American friends who are traveling in China. I happened to be back in the village this time, so I brought them here to let these Americans broaden their horizons."

Grandpa nodded repeatedly and said:

"Okay, okay, they are all very good. This boy is quite handsome!"

"Let's go, let's talk while we walk. There's food waiting for you at home."

After dinner, the whole family gathered together and began to discuss tactics and make preparations intensively.

This event also upholds the spirit of the Olympics, pursuing faster, higher and stronger.

There are three competitions in total, namely 5,000-meter running, high reach competition, and ring fighting competition.

Each branch sends five players to participate. Foreign aid can be invited, but the number of foreign aid cannot exceed the number of native people. In other words, there can only be a maximum of two foreign aids, and the age is also limited to under 35 years old.

For these three competitions, points are accumulated according to the rankings, and finally the branches are ranked according to the total scores of everyone.

But after the meal, a small incident occurred.

Nie Yongjin's high school grades were not very ideal, so he had never had much of a sense of presence in front of his elders. He was extremely eager to show himself well in this kind of gathering of the whole village.

Originally, because of his active registration and the fact that he had learned boxing since childhood, the elders in his family promised him a substitute spot.

The main reason is that Nie Zhaofeng is in the United States after all, and there are too many uncertain factors. In case something delays him and he can't come back, they have to be prepared.

If we hire another foreign aid, it will cost money and it will be difficult to decide on the candidate. What if Nie Zhaofeng comes back?

One of the two foreign players will have to withdraw. In this case, no matter which side withdraws, it will definitely offend the other party.

In this case, it would be better to find a native of the tribe to be a substitute. If Nie Zhaofeng doesn't come back, let him take the position. If Nie Zhaofeng comes back, as one of their own, it's okay for him to make room for someone else.

However, they still underestimated Nie Yongjin's determination to participate in this event. Ever since Nie Zhaofeng and his group returned to the village, he was the one who had been looking down on them.

"Grandpa, I've also been practicing boxing since I was a child! Although I may not be a match for Brother Yongming and Brother Yongxin, I'm not necessarily worse than Uncle Zhaofeng's disciples, right? And I'm also very good at running and high jump. I run at least ten kilometers every day now, Grandpa."

"Hey, didn't we agree on this in advance? Now is not the time to argue about this. You are still young and don't understand this, but since we have promised them, and they have come all the way from the United States to help us, we have to give them this face."

The grandfather, who was in his seventies, sighed and didn't know how to explain to the boy. If he could understand these principles, he wouldn't have to just go to high school.

"But their face is face, and the ranking our lineage achieved in the event is also face. What if he really can't fight?" Nie Yongjin stiffened his neck and spoke louder and louder. Even Nie Zhaofeng and Li Ang, who were admiring the flowers in the yard, heard it. It was obvious that he was still unwilling to give up.

Li Ang didn't say anything. Nie Zhaofeng was the first one to be unhappy. He had finally swallowed his pride and made great efforts to invite Li Ang. Offending him was more infuriating than offending himself.

"Nie Yongjin, come here, come here."

Nie Yongjin spoke so loudly just now, even though he wanted them to hear it, and it would be best if this foreign aid would give up. But when Nie Zhaofeng really heard it and summoned him, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Uncle Zhao Feng, what's the matter?"

At this time, he learned his lesson and pretended to be confused about the situation.

"You are still pretending, didn't you just say you were pretty good? Come here and let's practice. I'll let you use my hand."

Nie Zhaofeng spoke to him with some anger in his tone.

Nie Yongjin quickly shook his head, "Forget it, Uncle Zhao Feng, even if you give me a hand, I'm still no match for you."

As early as two years ago, when Nie Zhaofeng went home for the Chinese New Year, he once taught these young people some boxing skills. At that time, he and his cousin sparred with Nie Zhaofeng, who had one hand behind his back. As a result, both of them were beaten without any chance to fight back.

Although two years have passed now, and he believes that his strength has improved a lot, he still has no confidence if he has to face Nie Zhaofeng alone.

"If you don't have this much confidence, why are you participating?"

"We are all young people participating in the competition, so we definitely can't compete with you."

Nie Yongjin muttered softly.

"Humph!"

Nie Zhaofeng sneered, as if he had heard some joke.

"To be honest with you, although Li Ang is my student, in terms of real strength, I may not be able to beat him even if he lets me use one hand. Do you understand the gap between you and others now?"

As soon as he said this, even several other tribesmen nearby were attracted to his words.

They all knew Nie Zhaofeng's strength. Not only in their lineage, but even in the entire village, his strength was among the best. After all, this was his profession, while most others just learned based on their interest.

But now he said that he could not even beat his apprentice if he gave him one hand. This is too exaggerated. Although everyone understands the principle that the disciple is better than the master, this situation usually happens when the master is in his forties or fifties. If it is a skill-related matter, it is very likely that the apprentice will not be able to catch up with the master's level before the master passes away.

After hearing what Nie Zhaofeng said, although Li Ang has not yet proven his strength, it can at least be seen that Nie Zhaofeng is quite confident in him.

In short, no matter how reluctant Nie Yongjin was, he didn't dare to mention this matter again at this time. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Now that the ring competition is guaranteed, they will be more confident about this event.

Another foreign player they invited is a professional basketball player and is now a coach of a basketball club. It is said that he has won prizes in basketball competitions in the city. He is tall and strong, and is about 1.9 meters tall.

With a foundation in this sport, at least running and high jumping will not be a problem.

In these competitions, the top three places received exceptionally high points, so it is extremely important to have a master who can make the final decision in this event.

There are still two days before the competition starts, so they got up early in the morning, intending to seize this last minute and have some intensive training.

Before they got up, Li Ang had already come to the yard and practiced martial arts for more than an hour.

【Xisui Jing】

8/200 (skilled)
(Features: Physical aptitude increased by 20%)

Since learning the "Xisui Jing", Li Ang has been practicing it whenever he has free time. Every day when the "Xisui Jing" has not been advanced, Li Ang feels that he has wasted his time. After all, the higher the level of the "Xisui Jing", the more efficient his practice will be.

When Nie Zhaofeng saw Li Ang getting up early, he thought he got up specifically to train with them.

"Chairman Li, you don't have to go. Just let the younger ones practice."

In Nie Zhaofeng's opinion, Li Ang's participation in this kind of village competition is like using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill a mosquito. There is no need for him to train at all.

Don't mention that they invited some national second-level athletes or some coaches. Even if they are professional players, so what? Li Ang has won the world championship. Apart from fighting, the other two competitions are easy for him to handle.

But Li Ang just shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's nice to run with them. I have the habit of exercising."

Speaking of the skill of [Running], it was one of the first few skills he mastered, but until now, it still remains at the master level. Some other skills that he mastered later or that are more difficult to advance have already reached the grandmaster level or even the perfect level. It can only be said that he indeed spent less time on this.

There were five contestants, but six of them were running in the morning. Nie Yongjin came again. He was still unwilling to give up, but this time he was not expecting anyone to give up their place. He was preparing for a rainy day. What if someone had a temporary problem with their physical condition? He might still be able to take over.

"We usually run 10 kilometers in the morning. We don't need to pursue speed too much, as long as we finish it within an hour. Another thing is to get familiar with the roads in the village. When we compete, we will run on this road."

As the oldest among the group, Nie Yongming naturally took on the responsibility of captain.

After the start, Nie Yongming was still leading the team in front. After running one lap, he sped up in the second lap, intending to test the strength of the newcomer Li Ang.

But even though his pace had increased to four minutes per kilometer, Li Ang who was following behind showed no signs of falling behind. His speed of three minutes and forty-five seconds per kilometer was still very easy. On the contrary, he was unable to adapt to such a high speed and thus consumed too much energy.

"Ling Zhenyu, you take the lead."

The tall basketball coach nodded and stabilized his pace to less than four minutes.

As a former semi-professional basketball player, running is basically a subject he must train. For him, running ten kilometers at a four-minute pace is completely achievable. (End of this chapter)
