Chapter 1871
Salazar was the first to strike, and as soon as he did, a brilliant light swept over Matthew's eyes. It was
easy to see if the odds were in their favor when a true expert made a move.
Matthew deeply understood Wing Chun boxing and had previously conversed with several renowned
Wing Chun boxing masters. Among the masters he had encountered, Phoenix was by far the most
formidable. Phoenix's Wing Chun boxing techniques were so refined that a one-inch punch could easily
knock out a powerful opponent.
In contrast, when Salazar made his move, Matthew saw firsthand what it meant to be a Wing Chun
boxing master. Although it appeared to be a simple single punch, it contained dynamic changes that
blocked all of Matthew's possible escape routes. Nevertheless, even Phoenix could not pull off this
move! When it came to martial arts like Wing Chun boxing, Phoenix did not have the same level of
expertise as Salazar.
After taking a deep breath, Matthew took a quick step forward and blocked Salazar's punch with a
Wing Chun boxing technique. As soon as their fists made contact with one another, he immediately had
the impression that Salazar's fist was like a towering mountain that he could not topple. He was utterly
taken aback by Salazar's inner energy, which was much more significant than he could have ever
imagined! However, Salazar could not launch a counterattack because as soon as their fists made
contact, he retracted his punch and stopped when he should have. In addition, he sensed that his eyes
had briefly lit up.
Nevertheless, Matthew's punch surpassed Salazar's expectations. Over the years, he'd fought a lot of
opponents, but Matthew was the first he'd ever faced who was able to block a punch with Wing Chun
boxing techniques. How could he not be awestruck?
However, Salazar said nothing as he continued to throw punches and engage in a sparring match with
Matthew. Although they fought at a breakneck pace, they stayed within their abilities and focused on
observing each other's movements.
Melvin watched from a distance, completely perplexed, as he had no idea what was happening.
About ten minutes into their fight, the two simultaneously stepped back from each other and stopped
sparring.
Salazar drew a deep breath and affirmed, "Dr. Larson, I never expected you to be so skilled at Wing
Chun boxing! I have practiced it for many years, but I have never admired anyone besides my father.
You are the first person whom I admire!"
"You must be kidding, Mr. Whitford." Matthew waved his hands frantically in denial. "Your Wing Chun
boxing techniques have truly enlightened me. Furthermore, with your strength, I'm sure you could have
defeated me if you wanted to!"
Melvin stood beside them, perplexed. "So, who won this round?"
Matthew replied with a smile, "Mr. Whitford is unquestionably stronger than I am!"
Salazar refuted, "We're pretty evenly matched when it comes to martial arts knowledge, though Dr.
Larson has experience with more than just boxing. This means that he is superior to me in martial arts
skills."
Melvin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Really?"
"You're too modest, Mr. Whitford." Matthew quickly added, "The essence of martial arts has always
been both external and internal. It makes no sense to have martial skills but lack inner energy. There's
no way I could last more than five minutes in a fight with you at my current skill level."
Salazar ignored him and turned around to pack his belongings. New chаpter avąilable on
Having said his goodbyes to Salazar, Matthew led Melvin out of the villa.
