The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Thud.

A figure slammed heavily to the ground.

Then quickly bracing with the left hand, but before he could get up, Fang Hao's right hand pressed down on the opponent's shoulder, firmly clenching it.

Like an iron claw, firmly locking the opponent in place.

Once Fang Hao demonstrated his strength to them.

Complete silence fell over the crowd.

This retired Coast Guard from the Special Forces couldn't last a single round before being subdued and restrained by Fang Hao.

His move was too swift.

Many didn't even have time to react.

"This... such speed."

"Such an impressive Grapple!"

Initially, Captain Zhou thought even if Fang Hao had trained, he would only be slightly stronger than the average person.

At best, just a bit more physically strong.

But his subordinate, who'd retired from the Special Forces, could normally handle three to five trained people without any issue.

In his opinion, sparring with Fang Hao should have been a sure thing.

But who could have known...

They actually lost.

And lost so quickly.

"I've lost," the Coast Guard admitted cleanly, acknowledging Fang Hao's superior skills.

If even this retired Coast Guard was no match for Fang Hao, there was no point in discussing others.

Everyone's gaze towards Fang Hao changed.

Strength is often the easiest way to earn respect from others.

Moreover, Fang Hao's performance in other aspects was equally astonishing.

Clap clap.

Captain Zhou was the first to start applauding.

Then the others followed suit, applause raining down increasingly loud.

Everyone present was thoroughly convinced.

Fang Hao let go, helping the other up from the ground.

This sparring pushed the atmosphere of the dinner party to its peak.

It also brought their relationships closer; at the very least, they no longer felt as unfamiliar with Fang Hao and his group as they did at the beginning.

Before this, nobody would have guessed that Fang Hao was so formidable.

Their initial impression of Fang Hao was merely that of a Fishing Streamer capable of snagging a detector.

But after actual interaction, it turned out... the opponent's skills were maxed out.

Strength, reflexes, speed... his physical fitness was incomparable to that of the average person.

Even those among them who underwent rigorous training couldn't match up with him.

In addition, the other had unique skills in fishing all sorts of strange things.

Nobody wasn't impressed.

"Mr. Fang, that Grapple move you just did was amazing."

"Can I learn it from you?"

The Coast Guard who just lost to Fang Hao came over to inquire.

The other Coast Guards pricked up their ears.

"Of course."

Fang Hao didn't refuse.

He had already taught the Grapple to many, including Xiao Pang on this ship, as well as a group of people in his live streaming room.

However, these people were only learning for fun and didn't take it too seriously, so even though it was real kung fu, they didn't grasp the essence.

But these Coast Guards were different.

They already had some basics, and they would certainly be more serious learning Fang Hao's Grapple.

Hearing that Fang Hao was willing to teach, other Coast Guards also became interested.

"Can we learn too?"

"Everyone can learn, anyone who wants to can come."

The dinner proceeded well and then turned into a scene of Fang Hao teaching the Grapple.

However, the meal was indeed delightful, and the Coast Guards got to enjoy the rare bluefin Tuna without spending their own money, savoring such fresh Tuna.

Fang Hao began teaching the Coast Guards the Grapple aboard the ship.

After teaching them once, he had Xiao Pang over to help teach.

Although Xiao Pang wasn't as skilled, he'd been learning the Grapple with Fang Hao for a long time.

Helping to teach was no problem, and it would also relieve some of Fang Hao's burden.

After a few rounds of instruction, everyone gradually got the hang of it.

Given that there were many learning together, it was possible to arrange for them to practice with each other.

This way, they would learn faster.

Furthermore, many Coast Guards had a foundation, so they picked things up faster than Xiao Pang and the others had.

Before long, they were adept.

After teaching them, Fang Hao didn't have much else to do.

The rest was up to their practice; all they needed to do was to train every day following his instruction, no other tricks.

Martial arts was not mastered overnight.

It requires summer training through the hottest days and winter training through the coldest.

It needs nonstop practice over the years, becoming an instinctual bodily response.

When an opponent makes a threatening move, your body should be able to react subconsciously.

Bodily response is faster than mental response.

That's when you know you've mastered it.

Otherwise, by the time you've figured out what to do next in your head, it's already too late; if the enemy has a weapon, you'll be taken down in an instant.

So, the secret to martial arts is one thing.

Familiarity through practice.

Train until it's an instinctual response.

If you throw a punch, my body can automatically perform an evasive maneuver.

That's when you've truly mastered it.

It's not about learning for a couple of days and then becoming an unparalleled grandmaster.

You think this is a movie shoot.

After finishing the lesson, Fang Hao prepared to rest.

He returned to his cabin to practice Innate Skill, to enhance the force within him.

After an hour of practice, he truly felt that the energy inside him had grown a bit stronger, though one needed to observe closely to notice the difference within.
