Cultivating through increasing my stats in America

But soon, after he learned more about the deeper situation, he realized that this chief representative was a huge pitfall.

In the past, the opponents, although of many different types, came from Japan and Korea with Taekwondo, Karate, Hwarangdo, Judo, Kendo, etc., from Southeast Asia with Muay Thai, Eskrima, from the Western world with Boxing, Baton, and Brazil with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mongolian wrestling, etc.

However, most of them were from commercial martial arts schools as, after all, this exchange was also something put together by various associations.

But only after his martial arts school became the main representative did he discover that this martial arts exchange included semi-professional athletes among the participants.

The Chinese Martial Arts Association, due to its large size and abundance of experts, didn’t necessarily expect to win the championship, but securing a decent ranking wasn’t supposed to be a big issue.

But now, with the inclusion of these professional athletes, Yang Zhenghong was well aware that the level of competition was completely different.

Although the Chinese Martial Arts Association also had competitors who participated in various national competitions, those contests were not really about combat. Moreover, those competitors were mainly domestic and not easy to enlist.

So, the disciples that he was originally quite satisfied with now seemed completely inadequate in this new context, which is why he was frantically looking for experts everywhere.

He now only hoped that the Chinese Martial Arts Association wouldn’t lose too badly.

Winning the championship was nonsense—he himself had sparred with boxers and was very aware of the gap in strength between the two sides.

The opponent wasn’t even a real professional, just someone with a small reputation in the amateur circles. Even so, he had nearly been defeated.

After the meeting ended, everyone got acquainted and these matters were explained before they dispersed.
