Chapter 353 - 323 Confrontation, Rejection
Wu Li used system detection to scan the area and couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
More than thirty people from the Japan martial arts world attended today, and there were actually eight master level martial artists!
"Wow, quite a few experts have come," Li San remarked from the side.
Although he didn’t have system detection, he could roughly discern some details just by looking, and he recognized quite a few people among the group opposite. He had never fought them, but he had heard of their combat records.
"Everyone says that there are many experts in the overseas Chinese martial arts community, but that’s due to the overall environment. In a foreign land, many of our children must start martial arts training from a young age to strengthen their ability to defend themselves, otherwise, they’re easily bullied by local kids. Opening a martial arts hall is the same; without real skill, you’ll go out of business soon after opening," Li San suddenly stated.
"But Japan is different; their environment isn’t as harsh, yet they do very well in protecting and inheriting their traditional culture. There are many experts in the martial arts world, and the age distribution is very healthy, with old, middle-aged, and young generations all present."
Hearing Li San say this, Wu Li also noticed that among the Chinese experts who had come to greet him earlier, there were no young people; almost all of them were in their thirties, forties, and even fifties. In contrast, on the Japan side, the eight master level martial artists indeed encompassed all three generations.
Besides the nineteen-year-old prodigy Xiaoze Wutian, there was also an Aikido master level martial artist in his twenties who looked very young.
"Judging from the recent movements of Japan’s extreme organizations, they have grand ambitions, and it’s only a matter of time before they enter the United States. When that time comes, conflicts will be unavoidable, and duels like today’s won’t be few. If our martial arts world can’t produce several talents from the younger generation, we’re likely to suffer in the future," Li San said with a worried expression.
He was thirty years old this year and, with the longevity practice of Tai Chi, maintaining his peak for another decade wouldn’t be difficult. But apart from him, the American Hongmen had no younger expert of the same level as him, which was why he expressed such concerns.
Upon hearing this, Wu Li became even more determined to disseminate the complete martial arts heritage that he could exchange from the system as much as possible in the future. Not to mention anything else, at the very least, it could produce many more experts within the Chinese martial arts community.
