In the country of Wō, the capital city, Gou Sheng Martial Arts School.
"Ichiro, you are a disgrace to me! To lose to a Dragon Country brat!"
Inside the martial arts school, two men knelt facing each other.
One of them, an old man with white hair, looked sternly at the man before him and said.
The man before the old man was none other than Gou Sheng Ichiro, who had lost to Wang Shu that day.
"Grandfather, the Dragon Country fellow's martial arts were very strange. I've never seen anything like it. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have lost an arm."
Gou Sheng Ichiro's entire arm was bandaged and casted, hanging in front of him. He spoke with great shame.
"Hmph! Those are all excuses. If you could have learned all my skills, would you be like this now?"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo looked at his grandson, who had once made him proud, and felt helpless.
Half a month ago, this fellow had said he was going overseas to find opponents.
But he had returned in a sorry state just a few days later, with one arm crippled.
Because of this, they were now being mocked by the Wō martial arts world, and his Gou Sheng family had been shamed.
"Grandfather, I'm telling the truth. His martial arts were truly bizarre, so fast that I couldn't find any openings. Even when I used the secret technique you taught me, I couldn't pose the slightest threat to him."
Gou Sheng Ichiro said with a serious expression, recalling the duel with that Dragon Country kid named Wang Shu.
"Stop messing around. Losing is losing!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo waved his hand directly, signaling Gou Sheng Ichiro to shut up.
He could no longer listen. Only the weak made excuses.
"You said that Dragon Country kid's name was Wang Shu?"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo looked at his grandson and asked.
"That's right, his name is Wang Shu. I remember someone filmed a video that day, and it should still be findable online!"
Gou Sheng Ichiro suddenly thought of this and immediately opened his phone to search.
As soon as he searched the keywords, he found the video of the duel that day, which captured the entire fight.
However, the title of the video was not very friendly.
"Gou Sheng Ichiro Defeated by Dragon Country Martial Arts Prodigy in One Move, Wō Martial Arts No Match!"
The title was one thing, but most importantly, the video had already exceeded ten million views.
No wonder the martial arts circle in Wō had already spread the news before he even returned to the country.
"Let me see it!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo also frowned and said.
"Grandfather, you'd better not watch it!"
Gou Sheng Ichiro dared not show the video to his grandfather. If the old man saw such a title, who knew how angry he would get.
But before Gou Sheng Ichiro could finish speaking, the old man had already snatched the phone.
Gou Sheng Yi Wo looked at the video title on the phone screen, his brows furrowed, his teeth clenched, and the force in his hands increased significantly.
"How presumptuous! Our Wō martial arts cannot be so easily disdained!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo muttered to himself.
As a martial arts master who had dominated the world for twenty years, he could not accept such an insult.
Then, he directly clicked on the video.
However, after watching the video, Gou Sheng Yi Wo remained silent for a good while.
"This Dragon Country kid's martial arts are indeed very strange. I've practiced martial arts my entire life and fought all over the world, but I've never seen such bizarre martial arts."
Gou Sheng Yi Wo couldn't help but say.
"Yes, I told you so long ago."
Seeing that his grandfather agreed with him, Gou Sheng Ichiro became excited.
"But your performance this time was also very poor, full of flaws."
Gou Sheng Yi Wo's brows furrowed again, and he looked at his grandson sternly.
"Huh?"
Gou Sheng Ichiro was stunned, not expecting his grandfather to have noticed him.
"Grandfather, after my arm heals, I will definitely strengthen my training! And then I will defeat that Dragon Country kid!"
Gou Sheng Ichiro straightened up and said.
"Hmph! You think you can defeat that Dragon Country kid with your current skill? You should focus on healing your arm first!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo said with a cold laugh.
From the video, he had already seen that his grandson was no match for that kid named Wang Shu.
Someone else would have to be sent to defeat Wang Shu.
"Then can we just keep being laughed at like this?"
Gou Sheng Ichiro looked at his grandfather, his face filled with displeasure.
"I have my arrangements. You can go down for now."
Gou Sheng Yi Wo glanced at his disappointing grandson and waved him away.
Gou Sheng Ichiro wanted to say something more, but seeing that his grandfather had closed his eyes and was no longer paying attention to him, he had no choice but to get up and leave the martial arts school.
As soon as Gou Sheng Ichiro stepped out of the martial arts school, he saw a familiar figure approaching.
"Senior Brother Wenshan!"
Gou Sheng Ichiro bowed respectfully.
Gou Sheng Wenshan was his grandfather's disciple. Since his parents had passed away when he was young, he had followed his grandfather and taken the surname Gou Sheng.
He was more than ten years older than Gou Sheng Ichiro.
Gou Sheng Wenshan had trained with his grandfather since childhood and possessed exceptional martial arts talent, so his strength far surpassed his own.
He was currently helping his grandfather teach disciples at the Gou Sheng Martial Arts School.
"Young Master Ichiro!"
Gou Sheng Wenshan looked at Gou Sheng Ichiro with a cold expression.
"Did Grandfather call for you to deal with that Dragon Country fellow?"
Gou Sheng Ichiro suddenly realized.
Because of his incident, the number of apprentices at Gou Sheng Martial Arts School had been decreasing, and the Gou Sheng family had become a laughingstock in the Wō martial arts world. His grandfather would not let this matter rest.
Gou Sheng Ichiro hadn't expected his grandfather to send Gou Sheng Wenshan to the Dragon Country to challenge that person and restore the Gou Sheng family's honor.
Gou Sheng Wenshan didn't speak but turned and entered the martial arts school.
"Wenshan, you're here!"
Seeing Gou Sheng Wenshan enter the martial arts school, Gou Sheng Ichiro's face broke into a smile.
Gou Sheng Wenshan was his most outstanding disciple, and he even felt that in time, Gou Sheng Wenshan's strength could surpass his own.
Gou Sheng Wenshan had immense talent in martial arts, so he planned to send him to the Dragon Country to challenge that kid named Wang Shu and win back the honor for the Gou Sheng family.
"Master!"
As soon as Gou Sheng Wenshan entered the martial arts school, he bowed ninety degrees to Gou Sheng Yi Wo.
"Sit down!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo said.
"I called you here this time to have you go to the Dragon Country to find this person and defeat him!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo pointed at Wang Shu on the phone screen left by Gou Sheng Ichiro on the table.
"Understood!"
Gou Sheng Wenshan replied coldly.
"This kid is not to be underestimated. He crippled Ichiro's arm, and from what I've seen, there's basically no hope of recovery. So I warn you, be cautious!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo said earnestly to Gou Sheng Wenshan.
"Hmph! I am different from Young Master Ichiro!"
Gou Sheng Wenshan replied coldly.
"Indeed. You will depart today and complete the mission as soon as possible!"
Gou Sheng Yi Wo was about to say more, but seeing that his disciple had spoken thus, he closed his mouth.
He then handed Gou Sheng Wenshan a plane ticket, patted his shoulder, and said.
"Then I'll be going!"
Gou Sheng Wenshan accepted the ticket, bowed to Gou Sheng Yi Wo, and then turned to leave the martial arts school.
"It's a pity you don't have the Gou Sheng family bloodline, otherwise I would have passed on my lifelong supreme skills to you!"
Watching Gou Sheng Wenshan's retreating back, Gou Sheng Yi Wo sighed.
Gou Sheng Wenshan was his most outstanding disciple, but also the one he feared the most.
He greatly feared Gou Sheng Wenshan turning against him.
That was why he had never passed on his unique secret skills to Gou Sheng Wenshan.
He believed that his unique secret skills were only suitable for those who possessed the Gou Sheng family bloodline.
And Gou Sheng Wenshan was merely an outsider.
...
In the Dragon Country, at the Dragon Island Film City, in a hotel.
Jiang Jianjia devoured several large bowls of the congee Wang Shu had cooked, finishing it all.
She even licked the bowls clean, not leaving a single grain of residue.
"No way, how can you eat so much?"
Wang Shu looked at Jiang Jianjia with surprise and said.
"Umm, I was just very hungry today. I didn't eat that much! You made too little food!"
Jiang Jianjia felt a bit embarrassed by Wang Shu's words and quickly retorted.
"Alright, alright, you're right. I'll head back to the company. You report to me tomorrow after you've rested. I need to give you special training for your acting!"
Wang Shu stood up and said to Jiang Jianjia.
"Does my acting need special training?"
Jiang Jianjia blinked her large watery eyes and asked Wang Shu innocently.
"Of course. With your acting, if I don't give you special training, this drama will be a disaster!"
Wang Shu said directly.
"Okay, I understand!"
Jiang Jianjia couldn't argue further and mumbled in a low voice.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"
Wang Shu then opened the hotel room door and said.
"Um, tomorrow, can you cook for me again?"
Jiang Jianjia eagerly looked at Wang Shu and asked.
"What are you thinking? I'm not your family chef. I'm leaving!"
Wang Shu retorted and walked out of the room.
"Hmph! If you don't cook, you don't cook. I won't starve to death!"
Jiang Jianjia pouted arrogantly as she looked at the closed door.
...
The next day, Jiang Jianjia woke up early and arrived at Wang Shu's company.
"Where's Wang Shu? Didn't he say he was going to give me special training?"
Jiang Jianjia said as soon as she entered the company.
"What are you shouting about? Come in!"
Wang Shu stood at the door of his office and looked at Jiang Jianjia.
"Okay, big brother!"
Jiang Jianjia obediently walked into Wang Shu's office.
"This is your script. I'm Li Xiaoyao, and you're Zhao Ling'er. I'll go over the lines with you today in advance!"
Wang Shu handed Jiang Jianjia a thick stack of scripts.
"So much? Can I remember it all?"
Jiang Jianjia frowned and said.
