253: Chapter 240: Because the Master is Lonely 253: Chapter 240: Because the Master is Lonely Gao Yi was sowhat reluctant to leave, not because he was unwilling to forego the rare opportunity to demonstrate his prowess, but because he hated to part with such a formidable opponent as the bald man.
Truly, since achieving mastery in Martial Arts, Gao Yi had never t anyone who could withstand even three of his moves.
Was it really all going to be over after just a single demonstration, just one bout?
He knew Marina was decisive, but did she have to be this decisive?
“Do none of you want to learn a few moves?”
In desperation, Gao Yi finally blurted out the sentence he had been trying to avoid at all costs.
If Marina wanted him to teach Kung Fu, he would simply refuse or evade the question.
But now, having encountered a rare sparring partner, Gao Yi had no choice but to play this card to try and keep the bald man who had stirred his excitent.
Having played his trump card, Marina, who was already turning to leave, imdiately stopped in her tracks.
Those who were already moving away also turned their gazes back to Gao Yi.
“Uh, I left my computer on, but…
I can stay a bit longer and watch.”
Gao Yi didn’t know who had spoken, but he appreciated the person who chid in at this crucial mont.
Marina seed sowhat conflicted.
She frowned and propped her chin with her right hand, supported by her left.
“Could you teach ?
I really love fighting, I love Kung Fu!”
The petite, delicate girl spoke again.
Her face was full of admiration as she stepped forward toward Gao Yi and then asked in a trembling voice, “Can you teach ?”
At that mont, Gao Yi noticed sothing interesting.
In the room, the number of won exceeded the number of n.
He hadn’t counted precisely, but at a rough glance, there were at least thirty people, and just over half of them were won.
The oldest was no more than forty years old, while the youngest looked only to be in their teens—and knowing that Caucasians age visibly, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl looked nearly adult.
By their twenties if not well maintained, they could appear as if they were in their thirties.
But this girl looked like she was seventeen or eighteen, very young indeed.
No wonder Lucy felt an indescribable dislike for Marina—it turned out her intuition as a woman had already figured out that many of Marina’s subordinates were female.
But why would Gao Yi want to teach a young girl?
He was not particularly drawn to young-looking girls nor was he unfamiliar with beautiful won; he had stunning beauties around him, and his standards of beauty were set quite high.
Gao Yi’s target was the bald man, oh, his na was Sowa.
At that mont, Gao Yi wasn’t interested in beautiful won, just in formidable opponents.
Gao Yi even doubted for a mont whether he had been played.
What kind of play?
Certainly not the honey trap, but maybe a psychological tactic.
Did the French also learn strategy, knowing that it’s better to provoke than to invite?
Marina pondered for about ten seconds.
This was quite rare and considerably a long ti for her to think.
Finally, Marina lowered the hand supporting her chin and said earnestly, “No need, you don’t have to teach them.
Go have your breakfast; we have work to do.”
Gao Yi was stunned; he could hardly believe his ears.
Marina hadn’t used a psychological tactic; she genuinely did not want her subordinates to learn anything from Gao Yi.
Gao Yi took a deep breath and asked, “Why?”
“Because the gap is too wide, there’s no point learning from you, and I know you won’t really teach them anything.
So why waste ti?”
Marina was a bit terrifying.
Gao Yi fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Marina spread her hands and said earnestly, “I wanted them to understand the difference between real combat and economic fighting.
You’ve shown it, I’ve seen how a true master fights.
Although I don’t understand it, I know ordinary people have no chance against you.
Well, we’ve gained a lot, and I’m glad you could co, goodbye.”
“Wait!”
Gao Yi stopped Marina from leaving again.
Why like this?
Was Gao Yi sick?
Yes, he was sick.
Gao Yi had developed a loneliness syndro for masters; it was no longer just about rare opponents, it was about having no opponents.
Without opponents, he would feel lonely, empty.
The loneliness of a master is just like this; being unparalleled in a field, unable to find anyone who can exchange a few blows, such a feeling is hard for ordinary people to understand, only a master can know the agony of that loneliness.
Gao Yi just wanted to find soone who could push him to use his full ability for a few moves, no other reason.
So, how could he persuade Marina, who was straightforward, rational, and had already given up on enhancing her subordinates’ Fighting Ability?
Only by offering a sweet deal.
“I won’t teach them from scratch, but I can give them pointers to help them improve quickly!”
Teach and give pointers, completely different implications.
Gao Yi looked seriously at the students and after a mont of thought, said, “In a short period of learning, they can quickly defeat a fighting expert.
It will be fast, effective, and you’ll see imdiate results!”
Instant results, Marina had to be intrigued.
As expected, Marina said in astonishnt, “Impossible, there’s no such Martial Arts in the world.”
“There is!”
Gao Yi took a step forward; he stared intently into Marina’s eyes and said seriously, “If you don’t believe , you can try.”
Marina was stunned; she turned around to look at her own subordinates and, after hesitating for a mont, suddenly asked, “How can you prove it?”
Gao Yi also looked towards Marina’s subordinates, and after thinking for a mont, pointed to a girl who had volunteered herself two, no, three tis, saying, “Her, I’ll test her level.”
After finishing his words, Gao Yi said to the girl, “Co here and hit .”
The girl, full of excitent, imdiately walked over quickly, first respectfully bowing to Gao Yi before adopting a stance and shouting loudly.
“Ha!”
Hmm, a karate stance.
It wasn’t that Gao Yi recognized the starting pose of karate, but that he noticed the girl was wearing a karate uniform.
This woman was dressed in a karate uniform and had co to the training ground.
With a loud shout, seeing that Gao Yi had no reaction, the girl suddenly burst forward with a kick towards Gao Yi’s face.
This kick was fast, fierce, and accurate.
From her small fra, she surprisingly exhibited great strength—the key being that this girl had a powerful presence; her fierceness was completely disproportionate to her size.
Gao Yi took a step back.
The girl’s kick missed; she retracted her leg, turned around, and kicked again, but this ti she aid at Gao Yi’s lower body.
It was aid at the knee.
Gao Yi raised his leg slightly and parried the girl’s kick with the sole of his shoe.
“Ah…”
The girl imdiately crouched down, rubbing her calf in pain, her grimacing face almost ready to cry.
But after rubbing it a few tis, the girl stood up, her face filled with excitent, and exclaid, “You’re so amazing, really too fast, you’re so strong, I love it!”
“Enough!”
Gao Yi held out a hand and turned to Marina, asking, “Can she beat Sowa?”
“Of course not!”
Marina was surprised Gao Yi would ask such a question, and Gao Yi imdiately said, “I know she can’t because Sowa’s level is extrely high, at least among the world’s top five, or to be conservative, the top ten.”
“Of course, he could literally fight a so-called boxing champion to death.”
Gao Yi gave a thumbs up towards the girl and said, “I train her for half an hour, three moves, that is within three moves to defeat Sowa, how about that?”
Marina opened her mouth in shock, and the girl had a look of disbelief, her eyes sparkling with little stars.
Sowa understood everyone’s strength at the scene, and he respected Gao Yi’s capabilities, but letting a little girl defeat him?
This he could not tolerate.
“Hey, although I respect your strength and admit you are indeed very strong, you’re saying half an hour of training her could defeat ?
Ha, haha…”
Sowa spread his hands earnestly, saying, “If you can do that, then you’re truly a superhuman, mate, don’t joke.”
Gao Yi clapped his hands and challenged, “Wanna bet?
I’m asking if you want to bet!”
“What are we betting on?”
Marina imdiately showed interest, and even harshly demanded, “What stakes?”
“What to bet on…
Let’s bet on how well you know ; tell everything you know about , deal?”
“No problem, if you win, I’ll give you all the information about you and the Garden; if you lose…”
Marina frowned and said, “I have to think about what I could gain from you.”
“If I lose, I’ll give you the information I have; I can’t reveal which field it’s about, but I can say it’s definitely important.”
“Deal.”
Marina reached out her hand, Gao Yi extended his, and the two shook hands; imdiately afterwards, Marina turned to the girl and said, “Emily, go learn from him.”
“Don’t hold back!”
Gao Yi quickly added while the girl imdiately responded, “Absolutely not, Master!”
“Don’t call master, don’t call that, just call ‘Big Brother.'”
Calling others ‘Big Brother’ felt more customary, and being called ‘Big Brother’ was sothing he was used to.
When it was ti to teach the real stuff, Gao Yi didn’t want to teach his most guarded secrets, and since he couldn’t be soone else’s master, a ‘Big Brother’ would suffice.
“Okay, master, my na is Emily Marshell.”
Gao Yi looked around and said, “Find a room, I’ll teach her alone.”
Marina imdiately said, “Go to the neighboring equipnt room.”
Emily was decisive; she led the way, and Gao Yi followed; soon, the two reached the neighboring equipnt room.
Why teach alone?
Because the techniques Gao Yi was about to teach were not to be seen by others, otherwise they wouldn’t work.
What techniques?
They were simple, the kind of dirty tricks, odd tricks, and bad tricks that modern martial arts had eliminated.
He wouldn’t teach the groin kick, as that was soone else’s signature move, but the main reason was that Emily was short and had short legs; using the groin kick, she would have to enter within soone else’s arms’ attack range first.
He had to tailor his teaching to the material, to the person; as a Kung Fu Master, Gao Yi needed to teach sothing targeted based on Emily’s stature.
So as soon as they entered the equipnt room and shut the door, Gao Yi couldn’t wait to say, “I’ve spotted Sowa’s weakness; his front and side defenses are very strong, but he almost has no ability to defend his back, so, I’m going to teach you how to attack him from behind!”
