The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1356

After speaking his mind, he turned to Ito Nanako who was wearing a shocked expression. Joyfully, he spoke, "Miss Ito, your bone structure and meridians are good. Judging from our Oskian martial arts point of view, your conception and governing vessels have been partially activated. If you're able to activate it completely, then you are able to become a disciple of the inner circle." s

"Your conception and governing vessels?!" Ms. Ito asked in astonishment. "Is that the ancient Oskian martial art lore’s meridian points? Plus, what's a disciple of the inner circle?!" 4

Charlie spoke with a more serious tone, "Martial art myths originated from the traditional martial arts. Just like the concept of meridians, those aren’t made u p myths but are verified facts from the medical journals of Oskia which were found to be thousands of years old." 6

"As for disciples of the inner circle, how do I put it? Let me put it this way. With your current training, you won't be able to achieve anything near the inner circle's level of martial art prowess even after forty, fifty years of training. The only way for you to become a disciple of the inner circle is by having your conception and governing vessels activated, and then train in the inner circle cultivation method." 6

Ito Nanako then asked, "Then...are the disciples of the inner circle strong?" 1

Yamamoto laughed judgingly. "Nanako, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. All this inner outer bullshit is nothing but ancient Oskian myth used to trick the dumb. Do you remember the time I showed you the so-called professional Tai Chi granny?” 5

Nanako replied, "I remember..."

Yamamoto laughed as he continued, "There was this granny in a white Tai Chi robe who was able to bring down several strong men with a single wave of her palm. The men even rounded themselves up into a line and the old lady just pushed a gentle palm forward and everyone fell to the ground. Simply ridiculous! But in truth, it was just a bunch of actors acting for a film!" 6

Charlie smiled slightly, "There's no denying that there are indeed many frauds who claim to be disciples of the inner circle but the existence of these minorities doesn't mean that the inner circles don't exist." 5

"Oh right, I remembered how I met several selfproclaimed masters of unarmed combat. They were some big shot’s bodyguards during my time in Aurous Hill. Every single one of them had boasted about their own prowess as if they were undefeatable. In the end, all of them were killed by my friend and were fed to his dogs. So, am I supposed to just deny the existence of unarmed martial arts just because they are weak?" 8

Mr. Yamamoto was silent. He had no idea if his story was true.

Kobayashi Jiro, who was standing aside, was shocked in disbelief.

He actually knows the martial artists which Charlie was talking about.

His own brother, Ichiro, had bodyguards who were masters in the unarmed martial arts too. Jiro already knew what had happened to them.

Mr. Yamamoto, who knew nothing, then laughed. " Brat, how dare you compare your so-called Tai Chi and inner energy to my Japanese unarmed martial arts?! Let me enlighten you! The unarmed martial arts i s the world's strongest type of martial art! This art is s o many times stronger than that useless Tai Chi of yours which you had to hire actors for!" 9

Charlie laughed a little as he replied. "Mr. Yamamoto, I'm not gifted in this but I did learn a little Tai Chi and some inner energy manipulation. If you don't believe me, then why don't we test it out? Your two fists against one of mine?"

With a prideful look on his face, Mr. Yamamoto said," Why should I be afraid to test it out? But if I can parry your punch, I want you to kneel down and admit that you're trash! The trashiest of trash!"
