Chapter 1604: Bruce Lee’s Martial Arts Manuscript?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next morning, Ye Feng brought Zhuang Xiaoqiao out again. Their destination was near Chinatown in Seattle.

“What are we doing here?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao was confused.

Ye Feng said mysteriously, “My intuition tells me that there is a treasure here.”

“Intuition?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes.

The feeling that Ye Feng gave her was too mysterious, compared to any treasure, she was more curious about Ye Feng.

The two of them stopped in front of a row of commercial real estate. The deeper they were, the more intense he had a feeling.

The treasure was in one of the commercial real estate houses!

Although deep detection could allow him to find out more about the treasures inside, Ye Feng did not choose to receive this information, because he wanted to feel the intense curiosity of not knowing the answer. Once the answer was revealed, it would be a little boring.

The rental advertisement and contact number were posted outside the front door of the house. Ye Feng dialed the number and told the landlord that he wanted to rent the house for a month.

When the owner heard that it would only be rented for a month, he was not willing to come, but Ye Feng offered a high price of 20000 dollars, so the owner was tempted and ran over.

According to the owner, this commercial house was previously rented to an old man who repaired watches. However, the old man mysteriously disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. He moved away with the things in the shop, leaving only some useless junk in the house.

The owner was not willing to bear the cost of cleaning up the rubbish immediately, so he asked Ye Feng to clean up the rubbish in the room.

Ye Feng did not have any objections to this, after all, the treasure was most likely among the miscellaneous items. If the owner was going to clear the stuff out, how could he still find the treasure?

Ye Feng paid the money and the owner left with a smile.

Ye Feng then started to search among the miscellaneous items. He pulled out a small suitcase.

“Is this the treasure you were talking about?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked suspiciously as she looked at the old suitcase.

“The treasure is inside.” Ye Feng opened the suitcase, revealing a thick stack of notebooks.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao picked up a notebook and flipped through it. She pouted. “Which great philosopher wrote this? It’s too obscure!”

“Let me see.” Ye Feng took the notebook from her.

The notebook was written in English. Ye Feng was proficient in eight languages, he did not have any difficulty reading it, but some of the handwriting was blurry, and it was a little difficult to read.

The more he read, the more familiar Ye Feng felt the words in the notebook, as if he had read them somewhere before.

Only after reading the last sentence on the first page, “Be water, my friend,” Ye Feng suddenly realized, wasn’t it a classic quote from Bruce Lee, the master of Wing Chun?

Back then, he had said these words on a talk show in the United States. Did these words fully express his martial arts thoughts?

Could it be that this notebook was left behind by Bruce Lee?

Ye Feng flipped through it in disbelief, the content at the end was not about martial arts, but about a deep analysis of martial arts, as well as a person’s experience in practicing boxing.

Ye Feng quickly finished reading the contents of the notebook. The notes were about a person’s martial arts experience, and there were words like “Bruce Lee Martial Arts Studio” in the book, this clearly showed that these were part of Bruce Lee’s experience before he founded Jeet Kune Do.

Ye Feng had a deep impression of this. When Bruce Lee first taught Americans Chinese martial arts in America, he opened the Bruce Lee Martial Arts Studio in a basement in Seattle’s Chinatown.

Looking at the other notebooks, they were all related to martial arts without exception.

There were a total of six notebooks here, and the most important one was the last one!

Everyone who studied martial arts knew that Master Bruce Lee had created Jeet Kune Do in the last few years of his life. He had a complete set of theories, but the training system was not perfect. Or rather, the Jeet Kune Do at that time was not the Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee had developed to maturity.

The handwriting on the last notebook was clearer than the other notebooks, which meant that this notebook was written by Bruce Lee later.

The previous five notebooks were mostly written about Bruce Lee’s understanding and development of martial arts in different periods. The sixth notebook was Bruce Lee’s idea of Jeet Kune Do’s development, a Jeet Kune Do that completely matched his martial arts philosophy and had a mature training system.

Ye Feng immediately activated the deep detection system, he appraised and evaluated the value of the six notebooks in his hand.

“Appraisal result: Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript. It records Bruce Lee’s initial form of Jeet Kune Do in detail. It’s worth 10 million!”

“Appraisal result: Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript. It records in detail the evolution of Bruce Lee’s ‘Bruce Lee Martial Arts Studio’ during his time in Seattle. It’s worth 10 million.”

“Appraisal result: Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript. It records in detail the martial arts structure of a grandmaster in the mature stage of Jeet Kune Do. It can fill in the gaps in the current Jeet Kune Do training system. Its value is no less than 50 million.”

The system gave the appraisal results. The first five notebooks were all worth 10 million, but because the sixth notebook was too important, the system only gave an evaluation of no less than 50 million. In other words, its value might be even higher.

Ye Feng’s expression was not calm anymore. He was a martial arts expert himself, and he knew what these manuscripts meant.

Bruce Lee not only wrote the word “Kung Fu” into the English dictionary, but he also changed the image of “Fu Manchu” in the United States. He had countless fans around the world.

For example, Anjou Prince of the Sun Never Sets Empire was a fan of Bruce Lee.

After Bruce Lee’s death, his wife and his student Gilbert Johnson organized and published most of his martial arts manuscripts. The contents of the first five notebooks were mostly included in his previous works.

Only the contents of the sixth notebook had not appeared until now. Perhaps even his wife did not know.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao saw that he was smiling like an idiot and kicked him. “Hey, hey, hey, look at you. It’s just a few lousy notebooks. Do you have to be so happy?”

“Lousy notebooks?”

Ye Feng’s eyes widened. “This is Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript!”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao blinked her big dewy eyes. “Are they very valuable?”

“These six notebooks are worth at least 100 million!” Ye Feng said excitedly.

“100 million?”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s mouth was wide open. “Is it that valuable?”

Ye Feng carefully put away the notebooks and looked at Zhuang Xiaoqiao suspiciously. “Do you not know who Bruce Lee is?”
