Chapter 1068 1168. Sudden Challenge

"It's hard for me to imagine what effect such a palm would have on a person, but I don't think I'm stronger than a sandbag."

"Chinese Kung Fu is really amazing. I thought this kind of fighting skill only existed in those martial arts novels in China, but I didn't expect it to exist in reality."

"He looks so thin, but he can actually throw such an explosive punch. He is simply a human weapon."

"What do you think, if Ali returns to his peak, he and Nie Wei will fight, who will beat whom?"

"I just want to know if Nie Wei will teach martial arts. No matter how much the tuition is, I want to learn."

As the video came out, the doubts were reduced a lot, but the heat returned to Nie Wei again. The Kung Fu he showed made the whole United States fall into a frenzy.

Although Nie Wei only threw one punch from beginning to end, whether it was strength, speed or the magical skills, Americans clearly felt the power of this punch. This is completely different from the jumping Kung Fu routines they usually see. It is definitely a practical fighting skill.

Even because of Nie Wei's Chinese identity and the mystery that the word "Kung Fu" has long represented in the minds of the American people, Nie Wei's strength was even more praised by a group of Kung Fu fans.

In just one night, Nie Wei had more than a dozen fan clubs in North America, with a total of nearly one million people. Later, these more than a dozen fan clubs were merged together under the communication of the administrator, and they were also called "Kung Fu League", and even became one of Nie Wei's important fan support groups in North America in the future.

The video released by Keanu was also quickly transmitted back to China, causing an even greater sensation.

Don't think that only foreigners are obsessed with Kung Fu. Although many people in China say that Kung Fu is a trick, it is the same as Chinese football, because it is not competitive.

But when it is competitive, it is really supported by the people of the whole country. Think about the year when Chinese football broke out of Asia, the whole country was jubilant. Now Nie Wei has shown a real Kung Fu song. Although the response is not as sensational as that of Chinese football, it has indeed caused a long-term Kung Fu craze.

After all, this is the birthplace of Kung Fu. They are born to identify with this culture, especially the generation that has been influenced by the works of martial arts masters such as Mr. Jin and Mr. Gu, and their love for Kung Fu is deeply rooted in their bones.

When these people saw Nie Weiyi breaking the sandbag with one punch, it really made all Kung Fu fans crazy.

Because just two months ago, a free fighting enthusiast named Xiaodong suddenly claimed to challenge Chinese Kung Fu, saying that Chinese Kung Fu was all liars and that Chinese Kung Fu was useless.

This matter immediately caused a heated discussion at the time. Many Kung Fu fans felt that the sacred Chinese Kung Fu in their minds was tarnished, and they all hoped that a real master would stand up and teach this outspoken Xiaodong a lesson.

In the first week, many martial arts predecessors with various titles stood up to condemn Xiaodong, saying that he did not respect Chinese traditional culture, but this Xiaodong was also a scoundrel who turned a deaf ear to these condemnations and only replied that if he had the ability, he would fight with real swords and guns.

The verbal battle lasted for several days, but Xiaodong refused to budge and continued to make provocative remarks to the media about Chinese Kung Fu. In addition, during this period, there were only a bunch of martial arts predecessors who were shouting, but no one really came to the rescue, which made the public impatient.

Originally, Xiaodong had no supporters. Many people thought he was too arrogant and domineering. However, as the martial arts predecessors' verbal attacks disappointed everyone, gradually many people began to support Xiaodong. Of course, more people were watching, hoping that a "martial arts master" would stand up and at least fight with Xiaodong.

Finally, Lei Lei, who was known as the Tai Chi master, stood up and accepted Xiaodong's challenge.

In just three days, the Weibo account of this Tai Chi master Lei Lei increased from 50,000 followers to 1 million. During this period, he also released a lot of videos, all of which were of him sparring with others. He also explained the moves he used in detail, which made many netizens think that this Tai Chi master Lei Lei was worthy of being a master.

Finally, under the expectation of everyone, the competition between the two began in a fitness club.

Everyone thought that this would be a world-shaking duel, comparable to the decisive battle on the top of the Bauhinia in Master Gu's novels. But who would have thought that Lei Lei, who seemed to be a king, would reveal his bronze nature as soon as he stepped onto the stage. He was very stubborn, but it was useless. He was knocked down by Xiaodong in less than five seconds.

Lei Lei's fall also shocked everyone who followed the whole incident.

Xiaodong's victory seemed to have uncovered the "fig leaf" of Chinese Kung Fu, leaving many people who like Kung Fu stunned and feeling that their faith in their hearts had collapsed.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. It is said that the deeper the fan, the blacker the fan. In fact, most of the die-hard black fans of many stars are his former loyal fans. Because they worship him, they understand him and then deify him. But when fans find that their idols are not as they thought, the huge loss will breed hatred.

And many Kung Fu fans are just like those super black fans at this moment, turning their original love for Kung Fu into hatred for Kung Fu at this moment.

The first to be attacked was Kung Fu Lei Lei. His Weibo account, which originally had over a million followers, lost 200,000 fans overnight. Those who remained did not support him, but all cursed him.

Originally, he could get thousands of comments on his Weibo posts, but now, overnight, the number of comments under the videos he posted has increased by tens of thousands, but all of them are calling him a "waste", "unmotivated", and "fake master". The endless abuse overshadowed the support he once had. The next morning, when some people got up and prepared to start the second round of abuse, they found that Taiji Lei Lei had turned off the comments and deleted all the Weibo content.

They couldn't scold Taiji Lei Lei anymore, so they all went to support Xiaodong.

Xiaodong was very proud of himself, and his comments became more and more unpleasant on the Internet, almost beating Chinese Kung Fu to nothing, just like a group of Western doctors who said that Chinese medicine was feudal dregs.

But in fact, any culture has dregs, but since it has been passed down for thousands of years, it must have its essence. It is obviously incorrect to generalize, but this kind of academic debate is often a "life-and-death struggle", so it's not just Xiaodong. Many masters of free fighting, taekwondo, judo, Muay Thai, etc. have stood up to say that Kung Fu is not good.

Especially there are scum like Master Yan who mixes in traditional martial arts, just like Italy during World War II. Not only can she not help at all, but netizens also found her video and exposed that this guy is completely cheating. With such people around, the reputation of Kung Fu in China has fallen again, and it is almost to the point where everyone is calling for it to be beaten.

Many people who like Kung Fu want to defend Kung Fu but can't find a few words to say. After all, who made Kung Fu not live up to expectations? There are so many martial arts masters who are praised on weekdays, but no one stood up at this time. This really makes many Kung Fu fans feel chilled.

Until Nie Wei's video appeared, it seemed to ignite the fire of hope in the hearts of Kung Fu fans.

"Look, who said that Kung Fu has no practical value? Do you have the ability to take Nie Wei's punch?"

"I know that Chinese Kung Fu is not just a show. Nie Wei's punch can fully prove the practical value of Chinese martial arts."

"Too amazing, such a big sandbag was broken just by saying it, and the key is that I also saw the legendary "shooting a bull across a mountain". Now I finally believe it, Chinese Kung Fu is awesome!"

"Watching this video, I cried. The Kung Fu I love is real. It is not a show you call, nor is it a dance you call. Its name is Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu!"

Nie Wei's video is a fire starter, igniting the deep fire in the hearts of Kung Fu fans who have gradually quieted down in the past few months. Fire after fire ignited, and gradually gathered around Nie Wei in this winter-like environment. At first, it was just a pile of fire, which gradually turned into a sea of ​​fire, until it finally turned into a fireball, like the sun, which dissipated the winter, illuminated the eyes of everyone who likes Kung Fu, warmed their hearts, and let them find their direction again.

Recently, Xiaodong, who was full of pride, encountered the biggest crisis since his debut, which may also become the dragon-breaking stone on his road ahead.

Since Nie Wei’s video was released, countless people have come to his Weibo, wanting him to fight with Nie Wei.

Xiaodong was scared.

If it were before, he would have been very happy to fight with someone as famous as Nie Wei. This would attract much more attention than fighting with Tai Chi Lei Lei. At that time, the live broadcast of his fight with Tai Chi Lei Lei attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, but if he fought with a big star like Nie Wei, there would be at least tens of millions of followers.

But he didn’t dare, because he had watched the video and knew clearly that Nie Wei was different from those kung fu masters he talked about.

Nie Wei had speed and strength, but Xiaodong didn’t think he could beat Nie Wei just based on these. After all, in addition to skills, the most important thing in fighting is physical fitness.

He dared to challenge the entire martial arts world because he saw that these so-called masters were all fat and bloated. No matter how well they practiced their moves, they couldn’t play a single one or two with their lazy flesh.

But Nie Wei is different. He has obviously practiced. The speed of his punches dazzled him at first, and he could only see clearly at 0.5 times the speed. The strength and skills required to break the sandbag made him even more afraid. It is obvious that Nie Wei is not only strong, but also very good at fighting skills.

So many people encouraged Xiaodong to challenge Nie Wei, but Xiaodong just pretended not to see it.

It’s just that in North America, some people are not as happy as the recent Kung Fu excitement, such as Conor McGregor from UFC.

"Kung Fu is just a fancy trick. Let alone the director Nie Wei, even if Li Xiaolong came back to life, he wouldn’t last ten seconds in my hands." In an interview, when asked which is stronger, Kung Fu or free fighting, McGregor answered with disdain.

This answer excited the reporters. They like this kind of conflict and shouting drama the most.

Everyone looked at each other, and immediately a reporter who understood what he meant asked: "Mr. McGregor, you mean that Mr. Nie Wei is not your opponent at all."

"Of course, maybe he can deal with ordinary people, but he is not good enough to fight against a professional fighter like me." McGregor didn't think the reporter's question was a trap, and stepped into it. Maybe he didn't care at all.

The reporters were very excited about McGregor's trap.

Under the guidance of the reporter, McGregor even gave Nie Wei a tactic on the spot, saying that he was willing to compete with the great director on the ring. Of course, this was the reporter's writing. In fact, what McGregor said at the time was very unpleasant. Even the bold American reporters couldn't help but beautify the words before they dared to report them.

When Nie Wei received the challenge from Vera, he was completely confused.

What the hell, why is there a mixed martial arts fighter who wants to challenge himself?

"Take it away. Don't send this kind of thing over again." Nie Wei frowned and threw the challenge aside. It was not that he was afraid, but that he disdained this kind of battle at all. He was a big director, a big star, and a rich man. Why go into the ring with an MMA fighter? Why don't you let him compete with me in making movies, acting, and making money?

How could Nie Wei be so stupid as to cooperate with this obvious hype.

But what happened next was completely beyond Nie Wei's expectations.

There is almost one-sided support for McGregor's date with Nie Wei on the Internet, including Nie Wei's fans who also hope that the idol will stand in the ring and teach the arrogant guy a lesson.

"McGregor is waiting to be beaten. Every time I see him walking like a stranger, I feel like giving him two punches. This time, Nie Wei can give him a good beating for me."

"I have to say that McGregor is too arrogant. He thinks that winning the double title of featherweight and lightweight last year will make him successful? Nie Wei's Chinese Kung Fu will teach him to be low-key."

Of course, these are the words sent by Nie Wei's fans, especially those Kung Fu fans. At this moment, Nie Wei is like a god in their hearts. Even McGregor seems to them to be easy to deal with. .

However, these fans' comments also completely angered McGregor's fans and himself.

"Disgusting dog lickers, don't compare an ordinary person with the great McGregor, a video can make you crazy like that, but what I saw was just a show, and I even seriously doubt that the punching bag was tampered with. , and McGregor is the real king of fighting. In the world of punches and kicks, that Nie Wei can't compare. "

"Wake up, you stupid guys. McGregor's strength is obvious to all. Who is that Nie Wei? He was praised to the sky just for a video of him breaking a sandbag. Just wait. If he dares to enter the ring, he will definitely be beaten." McGregor beat up his mother."
