Female Novel
Chapter 2855
From the Song Dynasty to the late Ming and early Qing, the development of martial arts was relativelyprosperous.
In the era of Ancient Chinese weapons, kung fu was very useful, not only to protect the home and thecountry, but also to make a living, so in addition to scholars, the rest of the people wanted to becomemartial arts masters.
However, in the Qing Dynasty, foreign powers introduced the country to guns and suddenly thecountless martial arts practitioners discovered that they were no match for a gun, or a gun in the handsof foreigners.
In the beginning the most loyal and patriotic of the martial artists served the country with all their heart.
Even so, their combined strength was not worth mentioning when faced with the firepower of theforeign countries.
The most amazing event was when thousands of regiments besieged hundreds of foreigners, wherethey attacked for 56 days.
Yet even after almost 2 months of relentless assaults their stunning failure to even breach theforeigners fortifications left them dispirited and demoralized.
Since then, a large number of martial arts practitioners have become the biggest opponents of martialarts from their original infatuation with martial arts.
The reason is that they have seen the huge gap and realized that they worked hard for a lifetime andlost to a bullet
Since then, there have been years of domestic wars and internal and external troubles, and the speedof weapons development has become faster and faster, which has opened the gap between martial
arts and modern weapons.
Therefore, since the Qing Dynasty, martial arts began to go downhill, and hadn’t really re-emerged untilnow.
Originally, there were millions or even tens of millions of people practicing martial arts in China, with apopulation of 300 million.novelbin
Now however, there are no more than hundreds of thousands of martial artists in all of China, eventhough the population of the country grew to over one billion people.
Many internal martial arts had been gradually lost during that time, so much so that many martial artspractitioners do not have a complete internal martial arts style to practice, which can be regarded as agreat sorrow of the decline of martial arts.
However, the enthusiasm of martial arts professionals today is not at all inferior to those of theirancestors.
Take the Elms family as an example.
In fact, the Elms family has long been eager to fill in the missing parts of their incomplete set of internalboxing, but unfortunately they never found any relevant clues.
As for Charlie, the inner boxing method was nothing remarkable.
There were in fact many different internal boxing techniques recorded in the “Apocalyptic Book”, and hedidn’t even bother to practice them.
That was mainly because he’d already completely surpassed the level of a martial artist, so this kind ofinternal boxing method was of no value to him.
However, if he took out one of the internal boxing techniques found in the “Apocalyptic Book”, he fearedthat the martial arts families all over the globe would fight to possess it.
Nowadays, among the martial arts practitioners in the whole country, the only one who has mastered acomplete internal martial art is Aurora Quinton, who’d just entered the profession and had no family orschool.
The “Four Elephant Palms” she now quietly practiced was a complete internal boxing technique thatCharlie found out from the “Apocalyptic Book”.
Therefore, Charlie said to Xion, “If the time is right in the future, I can provide the Elms family with acomplete internal boxing technique.
By then, I might be able to help the Elms family reach a higher level!”
Xion was shocked when she heard this, but was equally excited as well.
She didn’t doubt that Charlie had a complete inner family boxing technique, but she hadn’t expectedthat Charlie would be willing to take it out and give it to the Elms family.
Although Charlie did not say that he would give it immediately or definitely, he also said that he wouldgive it when the time was right, which meant that he was willing to give it to the Elms family as long asthe time was right.
Xion understood very clearly the significance of a complete internal martial art.
So when she heard this, she couldn’t wait, hopeful that the Elms family could become Master Wade’sconfidant as soon as possible, and at the same time, she could receive the inner family boxingtechnique gifted by Master Wade as soon as possible!
