Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"What remains unchanged is not the Way..."

Wang Chao muttered to himself, still shaking his head, "It's not that I don't know how to adapt; it's just that performances and the like are not in keeping with my style."

Sun Shisheng smiled, "Can you change the overwhelming trend of the times?"

Wang Chao shook his head, but his eyes immediately firmed, "Not now, but in the future, that might not be the case."

"You certainly have confidence," Sun Shisheng remarked and then told Wang Chao, "We're here."

Looking up.

In front of them was a large martial arts gym, the signboard was four to five meters tall, the doors were wide open, the yard was spacious, a clear spring was on one side, and there was a rockery with oddly shaped stones— it was exceptionally refreshing.

On the open ground, around twenty or thirty disciples were practicing against wooden posts.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The booming sounds were continuous.

"They all have stronger physiques than me," Wang Chao appraised the disciples with bronze-colored skin and muscular bodies, then glanced at his own slight frame and mumbled to himself.

"Scared?" Sun Shisheng asked with a smile.

"A little," Wang Chao nodded, "Having a large stature can always be intimidating. But I should belong to the type who's more reserved in nature. A few more fights to train my courage should be enough."

He knew his shortcoming was too few fights and insufficient bravery.

Traditional kung fu values courage first, Qi-Blood second, skill third.

While personal strength can boost courage, learning not to let "bullying the weak" become a part of that courage required further cultivation.

"Are you here to learn boxing?"

Seeing the four of them, a student approached to ask, "I'll take you to the hall to sign up."

Sun Shisheng raised his hand, "No, we're here to challenge the gym."

The student's face suddenly changed.

Hearing this, the other students stopped their training and gathered around.

"Challenge the gym?"

"Got a death wish!"

"We don't welcome you here; please leave," said the first student, still with some politeness, pointing to the outside and adding, "Students shouldn't dream about acting tough like in the movies."

"Don't look down on us," Wang Chao grabbed the other's fingers, "Although Sun and I are students, you're no match for me even if you all gang up together."

"Hmph!" The student withdrew his hand, "Since you're here to challenge the gym, beat us first. Everyone, attack!"

No sooner had he spoken than the student threw a punch at Wang Chao's nose.

He was going to teach this student a lesson!

The other students didn't think of helping; instead, they watched with mocking expressions.

However, Wang Chao caught the fist in one hand, twisted his foot, turned his body, and his shoulder pressed against the assailant's chest.

Boom!

Like the boom of thunder, the muscular student was sent flying, knocking down one or two onlookers before he stopped.

The students who were caught in the fray felt uncomfortable all over.

"This guy is no ordinary fellow!"

Seeing this, the other students raised their fists and started hopping around, bodies swaying, surrounding Wang Chao.

Li Liang and Wang Guang, the two former delinquents, hid behind Sun Shisheng, fear evident in their eyes.

"Sun, is this really okay?" Li Liang asked shakily, "These guys are not like us, each of them could take on two or three of us. Can Chao really handle them?"

Wang Guang suggested, "Should we apologize?"

Sun Shisheng, "Although Wang Chao lacks real combat experience, his physical fitness is beyond these people. What he needs is to fight. Just watch, and this is also key to making money."

Facing so many people, Wang Chao's heart surged with excitement.

"Bring it on!"

Against one puncher, Wang Chao grabbed his fist, hooked with his right foot to unbalance him, then with a large stride and a forward-leaning waist, he slammed his right arm into his opponent's abdomen, pushing him out and knocking over three to five people.

"Just as I thought!"

"When fighting in a group, there's no need to be afraid, as long as my strength holds out, I'm only facing a few people at a time."

Wang Chao fought on merrily, but he also restrained his strength to avoid killing anyone and, moreover, he was learning the fighting techniques of Muay Thai.

It mainly used the eight limbs of the human body—fists, feet, elbows, and knees—as eight weapons for the attack.

Punching and kicking, using knees and elbows, the power flowed smoothly and forcefully, showing immense strength in his fierce strikes.

However, these students were not well-versed, some even forgot the moves of Muay Thai during the fight and started swinging wildly.

That's being scared into confusion.

Three minutes later, all twenty-six people on the ground were knocked down by Wang Chao.

"Let me tell you, this is Muay Thai!"

Wang Chao limbered up, his Qi-Blood surging, his excitement peaking to the point of losing himself and he gave a thumbs up to the students lying on the ground.

But it was pointing downward.

"Damn it!"

"You little bastard!"

Sun Shisheng walked up to Wang Chao, a hand on his shoulder, "Calm down and don't be arrogant. There's no strongest style of fist in the world, only the strongest person. If I were to use Muay Thai..."

Without finishing his sentence, Sun Shisheng conveyed the message, which Wang Chao clearly understood.

If Sun uses Muay Thai, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Even if we don't talk about Muay Thai, just a thought could render him powerless.

"Chao is awesome!"

"Chao is mighty!"

Li Liang and Wang Guang, these two guys, cheered.

Only today did they realize that Wang Chao was so awesome that he could not only fight those hoodlums but also teach a lesson to the students of the martial arts gym.

He's simply inhuman!

Is this what kung fu is?

Maybe if they followed Sun and Chao, they could also learn a few moves in the future.

They might be hoodlums, but they too have martial arts dreams!

"Damn! What's going on?"

Right then, a slim woman with twin ponytails walked out from the house. Her skin was fair and smooth, her eyes were sharp, and her slender arms were wrapped in thin white ropes.

Those were hand wraps that could protect the arms and could be very effective offensively if used properly.

By her side was another woman with rose-red hair, curvy with the charm of a young matron.

"Aiyo, Chan Yinsha, looks like your place has been challenged," the enchanting woman said seductively. "And by two students from Jiangnan First Middle School, two... social youths?"

Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao were both wearing school uniforms and their youthful faces naturally gave them away as students.

And what about Wang Guang and Li Liang?

As hoodlums, they were not well-known and did not catch the attention of important people.

But the day before yesterday, these two led a bunch of hoodlums to repay money to various shops. Captain Cao also took part in it. It was on TV and the newspapers, so they naturally gained some notoriety.

"Who did this?" Chan Yinsha grabbed a student and demanded.

"Him."

The student pointed at Wang Chao.

"You?" Chan Yinsha gave Wang Chao a glance and then dropped the student, "Stop kidding me. This kid might be sturdy, but compared to you all, he falls short by a lot. He took down more than twenty of you?!"

"It's true, Chan!" the student complained with others chiming in.

"Was it really you?"

Chan Yinsha's face darkened as she pointed at Wang Chao, "What are you doing beating up my students? Is this how you challenge a gym?"

Wang Chao crossed his arms and said, "I said from the start I came to challenge. But they insisted on defeating them first and wanted to outnumber me, so I had no choice but to take them down."

"Let's just say, your students..."

"Tsk tsk, they lack martial arts morality."

Chan Yinsha couldn't help but laugh out of irritation, "Ha, what arrogance! I want to see what capabilities you, a little brat who is yet to grow hair, actually have!"

Just as she was about to move, the flirtatious woman stepped between the two, saying, "Give me, Zhang Tong, some face and don't fight like this, okay?"

"Who are you?" Wang Chao had no intention of giving face to this suddenly appearing woman.

Having seen ethereal women like Tang Zichen and having learned much from Sun Shisheng, he knew this woman before him must be either rich or noble.

But this seductive charm didn't appeal to him.

He guessed that such a woman probably wasn't very clean and therefore, he didn't want to get involved with her.

The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.

"Zhang Tong, now is not the time for business cooperation," Chan Yinsha replied, holding back her temper. She didn't care much for this "sister" at heart, but in modern society, without cooperation, it's extremely difficult for a martial arts gym to develop.

Not to mention, with the Internet's growth, in the next few years, whoever controls the media will have the power of voice.

Her Thai Boxing Gym naturally needed to keep up with the times.

"Chan, you need to restrain your explosive temper. We're in a law-abiding society now. Don't just think about getting physical. You need to think about how to recover from the harm caused," Zhang Tong said smilingly. "How about this? You want to challenge the gym, and Yinsha wants to regain face, it's all for the sake of 'reputation'.

"

"And 'reputation' is always accompanied by 'benefit'."

"I'll put up the money and organize a match. You can fight freely in the ring while the media covers it. Regardless of who wins or loses, it will be good publicity, won't it?"

Chan Yinsha twisted her neck, thinking it over. If she won, her Thai Boxing Gym would attract a lot of new students – a profitable deal.

"Fine, I agree," Chan Yinsha nodded and looked at Wang Chao, "You little brat, do you dare?"

"What's there not to dare?" Wang Chao huffed.

"Kid, you've got guts!"

Chan Yinsha chuckled and asked Zhang Tong, "Tong, when?"

"How about in a month?" Zhang Tong suggested with a smile.

"A month is too long," Sun Shisheng spoke up. "I'll give you one day at most, or we'll fight today."

"Who the fuck is this runt?" Chan Yinsha asked.

"This is my Sun!" Wang Chao stepped forward, refusing to show weakness, "Just one day, do you agree or not? If not, shall I start now?"

Chan Yinsha squinted, "Do you believe I would call the police? Say you're looking for trouble?"

Wang Chao tensed, but then remembered what Sun Shisheng had said before about the martial arts gyms they targeted all engaging in illegal activities. So he bluffed, "Call them, feel free. I can also say you're engaging in illegal activities, maybe even tax evasion."

"Haha! Quite the talker," Chan Yinsha sneered. Even if there was truth in it, the cops wouldn't find much, but it was still a hassle. And certain things, truly, shouldn't be scrutinized too closely.

However, even if the police came, they would likely just ask questions.

To search, a search warrant is needed.

Such matters generally result in a recommendation to resolve it amicably, making a big issue small, and letting small issues fade away.
