Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1870

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. This 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?"
