Salazar's gaze on Matthew was even more startling because few people knew the mysteries surrounding the
nine-pole wooden dummy.
Melvin was still adamantly opposed to the lengthy explanation. "So, what? Isn't that just a nine-pole wooden
dummy? Is it possible to train and then successfully knock out nine people at once?"
Matthew smiled and stated, "A nine-pole wooden dummy does not represent nine people, but many. Since nine is
the greatest number in modern and ancient languages, it is frequently used to denote a large quantity. By
mastering the nine-pole wooden dummy, one can reach the pinnacle of Wing Chun boxing and be prepared to
face off against thousands of troops."
Melvin's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way! This wooden dummy enables you to attain the highest level of Wing
Chun boxing?"
Matthew gesticulated and explained, "Every training facility has its own boxing practice method. The wooden
dummies widely available elsewhere are simplified versions that can be used to train body strength. but it is
difficult to train to one's full potential with these dummies. Previously, martial arts were seen as illegal because
they involved practicing a skill associated with killing, so how can regular citizens practice it? Therefore, these
authentic martial arts techniques can only be passed down through families with physical and mental prowess.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis nine-pole wooden dummy is uncommon, so how could you purchase it?" Melvin rubbed his temples, still
refusing to concede defeat. "Even if we can't buy it, I'm confident we can have it made to order. Doesn't it just
require a few pieces of wood with holes drilled in them?" Matthew shook his head again. "Don't even think about
it. Each Wing Chun student must have their own wooden dummy. This nine-pole wooden mannequin was custom-
made for its owner, right down to his height and the length of his arms and legs. Those of a different height or
with arms or legs of a different length will not be able to use it effectively for training. It's difficult to get your
hands on a nine-pole wooden dummy like this!"
Melvin was astounded when he heard that. "Seriously? Is it that difficult to acquire this wooden dummy?"
At that moment, Salazar could no longer contain his curiosity as he stared at Matthew. He queried in
astonishment, "Dr. Larson, do you know anything about Wing Chun boxing?" Matthew nodded and smiled. "I'm
familiar with a few techniques."
Following his inheritance of the jade pendant, he reached a master's level in Wing Chun boxing. In terms of Wing
Chun boxing's techniques and moves, he could be considered an expert, given that it was passed on by his
ancestors.
His primary problem was his lack of internal energy; therefore, it was acceptable for him to engage in conflict
with a marginally powerful opponent. Even if there wasn't much difference in inner energy between them, he
could still turn the tide of the fight in his favor. On the other hand, things could get problematic if he encountered
somebody whose inner energy was significantly more potent than his own. There was a saying that it takes ten
men of average skill to take on one man of extraordinary strength and that even extensive martial arts training
is no match for a mighty blow. In a nutshell, the battle between Matthew and Jasper is an excellent example. He
unquestionably blocked Jasper's punch, but the intensity of Jasper's inner energy suddenly breached his defense,
pushed his arm away, and still delivered the punch. That was due to a difference in the inner energy between
the two.
Salazar shook his head in awe. "If you thoroughly understand the nine-pole wooden dummy and its history, you
have more than a basic comprehension. You must have previously learned Wing Chun methodically, Dr. Larson!"
"Perhaps, you can put it that way," Matthew replied.
Salazar's enthusiasm grew as he grinned. "Shall we have a spar?"
Matthew hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Whitford, you are the heir to the King of Wing Chun. | don't think I should
embarrass myself in front of you."
Salazar responded with a smile. "Throughout my life, I haven't had much passion for anything besides boxing.
I'm always ready to take on a true expert. Don't worry; | will go easy on you. Let's just have a light sparring
session."
After giving it sconsideration, Matthew agreed and nodded. Moreover, he was also intrigued by Salazar's
strength! One who trains with a nine-pole wooden dummy will most likely be a challenging opponent. Soon after,
