Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

```

"Wait!"

Sun Shisheng called a halt to both sides and said, "Let's make things clear before we fight."

Zhao Xinglong snorted, "What's there to talk about? Your martial arts school injured our college students, and I've come to seek justice!"

"You are a student?"

Chan Yinsha was taken aback, scrutinizing the somewhat dark-skinned young man, "You don't quite look the part."

Zhao Xinglong, no matter how you looked at him, seemed like a tough youth who had learned martial arts.

And the fist technique he used to defeat her students just now should be Eight Extremes Fist.

This type of fist is extraordinarily fierce, and if you're not careful, it's very easy to kill someone with it.

Clearly, this kid was a tough character.

But looking at the five students lying on the ground, they didn't seem to have sustained serious injuries, probably because he had held back.

Wang Chao also spoke up, "Which high school are you from? Maybe we're schoolmates?"

"High school?"

Zhao Xinglong looked over Wang Chao carefully, noting his somewhat childish face, and said, "I'm from college."

Huh(⊙o⊙)...

Wang Chao was shocked.

Could college students really fight like this?

It truly was a case of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

He couldn't help but feel some anticipation for college.

After all, he had heard there was a lot of free time in college, and that wouldn't interfere with his training at the martial arts school, right?

Then, Zhao Xinglong said, "Your people came to our place to promote Muay Thai and then fought with our Sanda club members. I've come here to demand justice."

Hearing this, Wang Chao looked toward Chan Yinsha.

And Chan Yinsha's expression was not a good one.

She had never allowed her students to go to the college and cause trouble. If things escalated, it wouldn't be easy to handle.

"Tell us exactly what happened," Chan Yinsha called over a student with a crew cut and asked coldly, "You've done the deed of bullying students?"

"It's not like that!" the student quickly said, "On our way back, we passed through the north city section's college district and went in to promote, hoping to recruit more students for the martial arts school. After all, we have more mouths to feed now, and we need a higher tuition fee to support... "

"To demonstrate our strength, we sparred a bit with the students."

"We held back, aiming just to touch, at most causing some bruises on the face. Apply some ointment, and it'll heal in a few days. It's a very normal thing..."

"I reckon it's the Sanda club who couldn't accept this and sought him out to regain face."

Chan Yinsha nodded; she knew the temperament of these students well. Although they were quick-tempered, they wouldn't lie. Additionally, isn't injury a common occurrence during martial arts sparring?

Zhao Xinglong also learned the specifics of the incident, but since he had come, he couldn't just leave like that, moreover, he had injured the other party's students. Both morally and logically, it was indefensible.

A fight was inevitable.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chan Yinsha asked coldly.

"I was invited by the Sanda club. They paid me, and I've injured your people, causing you to lose face. I suspect you won't let me off easily. Let's just have a fight," Zhao Xinglong said, assuming a boxing stance, his muscles bulging like tightly wound springs, ready to burst.

"As I thought, it's Eight Extremes Fist!"

Chan Yinsha took a step forward, light as a swallow, leaping up but keeping her feet no more than three inches from the ground. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Zhao Xinglong.

"What incredible speed!"

Zhao Xinglong attempted to defend himself, but his reaction speed was like a snail compared to Chan Yinsha's. He was hit in the abdomen by her punch.

Bang!

In an instant, Zhao Xinglong was sent flying backward, tumbling twice in the air before landing seven or eight meters away on the ground.

"The boss is mighty!"

The students shouted, and Li Liang, Wang Guang, and others were also filled with enthusiasm.

A quick victory!

Chan Yinsha was too powerful!

Zhao Xinglong felt as though all his organs had shifted, his bones were about to fall apart, and he lay there like a pile of mud, unable to stand.

After a good while, Zhao Xinglong regained a trace of strength, shakily stood up, and with a fist salute said, "Thank you for showing mercy. I admit defeat." This сhаptеr's truе sоurсе is Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|LЕМР-YR).

Having said that, he limped away.

He knew that if his opponent hadn't held back, he might've been killed by that punch.

The gap was too big!

Watching Zhao Xinglong's retreating figure, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a bit despondent. As if inspired, he said, "Is this what traditional martial masters are like? Entangled in all sorts of worldly affairs, worn out by toil, even with heritage they cannot reach great heights."

"To excel in martial arts, be sincere in the way, abandoning all else, only then can you cultivate to the highest realm."

For the first time, Chan Yinsha seemed to see Wang Chao in a new light, "I thought you were just lucky to have met Big Brother Shi Sheng. I didn't expect you to have such insight. Impressive."

Wang Chao's face darkened, "Although my martial arts realm is not as good as yours, I'm still stronger than you."

Sun Shisheng laughed, "However, I have a different view. The human world is complicated and troubled; to abandon everything else in pursuit of something is actually the ultimate display of incompetence."

Wang Chao eagerly asked, "I would like to hear more!"

Chan Yinsha also wanted to hear Sun Shisheng's thoughts, "I'm all ears."

And without beating around the bush, Sun Shisheng began, "In this world, kinship, friendship, love... fame, desire, scheming... all kinds of worldly thoughts, only by handling these complex relationships adeptly can one truly be free and at ease."

"To enter the worldly life and be able to leave it, to come and go as one pleases, that is the sign of a mature soul."

"The affairs of the world are like a complex web, some can't handle it and flee to the mountains to live as hermits, while others dive in and face the challenges head-on."

```

"A true person will never be found on the mountain."

Chan Yinsha, reflective, said, "Indeed, as long as one is human, one must actively or passively accept this so-called escape to the mountain is simply evasion, believing oneself to have escaped from the mundane world, not realizing it's actually out of fear of the mundane and an unwillingness to face it.

Only by immersing oneself in the mundane can one truly sever ties; those who flee are truly heartless."

Wang Chao also had some thoughts and blurted out, "Isn't this the very definition of 'the greatest hidden away in the mundane'?"

Sun Shisheng, of extraordinary wisdom, softly praised, "Indeed!"

"Faced with tangled hemp, ordinary people might cut it with one stroke. But the affairs of the mundane world should not be compared to tangled hemp, but rather likened to a continually flowing river."

"Draw a sword to sever the water, and the water flows on."

"Even if you block the river, the water will eventually overcome the obstacle and continue moving forward."

"So, the best approach is to adapt to the nature of water."

Chan Yinsha suddenly countered, "But he who is good with water may still drown."

Sun Shisheng, with a smile on his face, asked, "So, for fear of drowning, do we stop learning how to swim?"

Chan Yinsha thought for a moment and said, "Still, one must learn."

Those who don't know how to swim generally won't drown under normal circumstances, but avoiding water for fear of drowning signifies a loss of further courage.

Without that ounce of courage, no matter how talented, one can hardly make progress.

And to learn to swim, yet not enter the water,

That's even more foolish.

Why spend hard-earned money to learn to swim?

Just to preserve one's life in case of accidentally falling into the water?

How unwise!

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'hearing the Way in the morning, one can die in the evening'."

The principles are easy to speak of, yet enacting them in reality is exceedingly difficult.

Wang Chao understood many principles, but reaching that level required much tempering.

Fortunately, he had found the path to the grand avenue.

"Thank you for the guidance, Sun."

Wang Chao expressed his gratitude from the heart.

"So, you must protect me well, Wang Chao, the protector," Sun Shisheng made a little joke.

"Haha, Sun, with your strength, do you really need a protector? But if anything happens, just call me, and I'll scale mountains and plunge into seas without hesitation," Wang Chao said with a heartfelt smile.

However, Wang Chao felt that with his current state of mind, if entangled in hemp, the best method would be to sever it swiftly.

Untangling it one by one was exhausting.

Chan Yinsha had the same idea. Facing a problem, her first thought wasn't to solve it but to take care of the person presenting the problem.

This was the simplest method.

But obviously, this approach wasn't to be encouraged.

For the time being, this method still worked.

But she knew, with the speed of development here, in about seven or eight years tops, this method would no longer be viable, likely even a signed life-and-death agreement would be considered null in the eyes of the law and lack recognition.

Once someone gets killed, you will still be held accountable.

Is this the sorrow of the times?

She used to think it was.

But after hearing some of Sun Shisheng's principles, she suddenly felt it wasn't; these were just the waves before the arrival of a new era.

If society is stable and the world is at peace, who would wish to take up arms and fight?

Therefore, in the future, personal cultivation and competition will surely be about spirit and intelligence.

Brutality might be inherent in everyone's instinct, but what makes us human is our intelligence and civilization; otherwise, we're no different from beasts that feed on raw flesh and blood.

Intelligence...

Thinking of this, Chan Yinsha felt that by staying by Sun Shisheng's side, she had also become adept at contemplation.

Was this his influence?

Incredible.

This Sun Shisheng himself was a treasure; wherever he was, it was a blessed place.

Just like a Buddha, he seemed so divine.

It's often said better be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

But Chan Yinsha felt that those capable of saying such a thing either had huge fortunes or real talents. For the average person, being the tail of a phoenix was the best choice.

After all, in every era, countless "chicken heads" need to bow to the "phoenix tail."

Dusk was approaching.

Chan Yinsha planned to take Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao out for dinner, but as soon as they left the martial arts gym, they encountered Zhang Tong.

The car window automatically rolled down, revealing Zhang Tong's delicate face. She complained softly, "You guys slipped away so quickly, I got wrapped up by those reporters."

"Weren't those reporters called by you?" Chan Yinsha retorted.

"Alright, I brought it on myself," Zhang Tong admitted with a smile on her face. "Get in the car, all three of you, I'll take you out for dinner."

Having said this, Zhang Tong looked somewhat resentfully at Sun Shisheng, "And you, young man, better not invite the whole gym over, or I'll go broke feeding everyone."

Sun Shisheng replied, "No problem, we can take away for them."

Zhang Tong: "······"

Was this kid genuinely ignorant of social norms, or was he teasing her?
