Generation Z Artists

Chapter 108: New Year's Eve

The first day of 2000 started with practicing again.

The order is roughly as follows:

Taoist stretching exercises, Tai Chi stance, Tai Chi boxing, leg exercises, sword techniques, shaking the big pole, and ending with Longhua boxing.

After the dynamic exercises, start practicing breathing and voice.

It takes at least two hours to practice the whole set, which is very troublesome and boring.

Fang Xinghe didn’t know how many normal adults could stick to it, probably not many, but he enjoyed it.

I can get out of the hospital bed and jump up and down with the most energetic posture. I don’t feel tired no matter how tired I am. Instead, I have a great sense of happiness all the time.

Moreover, his Kung Fu practice was never in vain, and he could feel the progress every time.

Ever since I increased my coordination to 96 points and broke through the historical level, whenever I practice anything, there is a kind of charm brewing in my heart.

It’s a bit confusing to say this because it’s really not something that can be described in words or language.

Only a very small number of people have the feeling that they are particularly good at something - others can't do it no matter what they do, but I can do it easily without feeling any difficulty, and I have a deeper understanding and cognition every time, without having to learn or teach, as if it was born this way and it should be this way.

If you can reach this level, then you basically have about 80 points of talent.

Once it reaches above 90 points, it is an indescribable level.

A particularly apt example is Jordan teaching young people to play basketball: you go up and do this and then that, he can't keep up, and then you shoot the ball. Simple, right?

young people:???

Jordan's coordination is probably at the 99-point level.

With a stature of 1 meters and a weight of 98 kilograms, he was able to play like that and had such a sense of rhythm, which was simply unimaginable before he appeared.

In fact, even the reckless Crab King has top-notch coordination - at least 80+. Unfortunately, he just lacks 10 points of coordination, which results in his upper limit being locked.

O'Neal's coordination is most likely 95+, which makes him even more of a beast.

When Fang Xinghe checked his own attributes, he liked to compare them with NBA players because they were intuitive and relevant enough and had detailed data.

His coordination has fully satisfied his natural ability to crush any physical event by learning it once and becoming proficient with practice. Although it takes a lot of focused practice to go from mastery to proficiency, his practice efficiency is already 6 to 8 times that of an average person.

Compared to himself when he just started practicing martial arts, this is about the same improvement.

Currently, all martial arts skills in the panel have been stuck at 89 points.

Going further requires Star Glory points, which he definitely cannot increase. Fortunately, his training speed is not slow after maxing out Coordination. According to his own estimation, he should be able to realize his dream of becoming a Grandmaster when he is around 20 years old.

Once you have mastered all the mainstream Kung Fu to the highest level, it will definitely not be difficult to master them. It will most likely be a natural outcome.

By then, he will have integrated all schools of thought, formed his own style, and become a master of his generation.

Or he can be called the last master, the last martial arts master in the world.

In order to achieve this not-so-important goal, Fang Xinghe immediately took Duoyu and set off to Wudang Mountain again as soon as the school was on vacation.

As soon as they arrived at the gym, they were stunned.

What on earth is going on with these naughty kids running around everywhere in the mountains? !
"It's not you yet!"

Brother Yuan, who had a haggard face, complained darkly, "Do you know how many parents have sent their children to the mountains since your crappy show was aired?"

Brother Fang felt a little guilty for a rare moment. He glanced around and found that all his senior brothers and sisters were very busy.

On average, 4 people take care of a small class, so the one that Senior Brother Chen is leading should be a large class - that is the difference between short-term training and long-term enrollment.

Good boy, they have all become the kings of children...

"But this isn't right?" Duoyu scratched the back of his head and pointed to the mountainside. "The students are all lined up, so why are they running around in the mountain?"

When Senior Brother Yuan heard this, he gritted his teeth.

"The class is full, and the naughty kids from the mountain can't get in. They climb up the mountain every day to join in the fun. If this continues, the master will close the mountain!"

Oh, what a sin...

Fang Xinghe knew exactly where the culprit was, so he avoided the question and said, "Where's Master Zhong? I'll go see him."

"He hid in the back mountain." Senior Brother Yuan sneered, "Go quickly, the master is very grateful to you!"

The back mountain is not a tourist area, so in theory, no one is allowed to enter.

But even so, along the way, he still saw several sneaky-looking young men walking on the mountain road, and he didn't know where they came from.

As soon as he arrived at the place, the closed disciple was knocked by Master Zhong.

"Look at the trouble you got yourself into!"

The old Taoist blew his beard and said, "There is no quiet place in the whole Wudang Mountain!"

Fang Xinghe knew how to coax him. He stretched out his hands to set up a tent, looked into the distance, and asked curiously: "Are those Taoist temples next door full too? Hey, did the Taoist priests from the Longmen Sect come to pay their respects to our front door?"

In an instant, Master Zhong couldn't suppress the smile.

Wudang Mountain has never been the Wudang Mountain of a single family or sect, and there is no unified Wudang sect in reality.

Specifically, Wudang Mountain uses the Taoist Association as its main management and coordination agency, and its temples are highly autonomous, with the Quanzhen Longmen Sect and the Sanfeng Sect as the core. The Xuanwu Sect, Songxi Sect, Huaihe Sect, Shenjian Sect, Gongjia Nan Sect, etc. are all attached to the Quanzhen system.

The biggest difference between the Longmen School and the Sanfeng School is that the former is more influential in the field of Taoism, while the Sanfeng School is stronger in the field of martial arts.

The two core members are not to the point of hating each other, it has not reached that point, but secretly competing with each other is inevitable.

And now, Fang Xinghe has made such a big fuss, driving the Sanfeng Sect to fame throughout the world and allowing all the declining sects on the mountain to benefit. This kind of glory often makes Taoist Zhong laugh and wake up in the middle of the night.

Why midnight?

I have to stay tense during the day and feel embarrassed to laugh.

"Well, this matter is not all bad..." Taoist Master Zhong twisted his beard and suddenly waved his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to collect some rewards from them!"

The so-called reward is the best martial arts of each school.

"Xiaoduo, go report to Brother Chen."

Taoist Master Zhong sent the extra people aside and set off in a hurry with Fang Xinghe.

The first stop is Longmen Sect.

"Chenghui, Chenghui!"

When they arrived at the Zixiao Palace, they walked around to the back, shouting as they walked.

"Put your disciples in front of me and I will bring my last disciples to kick your gate!"

"This is a Taoist important place, you are shouting and yelling, you are becoming more and more unruly!"

An old Taoist priest came out from the side hall and started cursing with a stern face.

Taoist Master Zhong ignored him and pulled Fang Xinghe to introduce him: "This is Taoist Master Cheng Hui, the current head of Longmen Sect. Come, pay your respects."

"Hello, Taoist Priest. I am Fang Xinghe, the fifteenth generation lay disciple of the Sanfeng Sect."

Fang Xinghe performed a Taoist salute respectfully, and the Taoist's expression suddenly became even more stinky.

"Okay, okay, good boy."

After praising Fang Xinghe, he yelled at Taoist Zhong: "Are you showing off in my house? Someone, set up the Zhenwu Seven Star Formation for me!"

The formation, of course, was not set up.

However, an old man came out of the house. When Fang Xinghe saw that man, his eyes lit up and admiration rose in his heart.

Master Zhong also hurried forward: "Uncle Master Mi Jingzi, when did you come to the mountain? Why didn't you come sit with me?"

"I arrived yesterday, Yunlong, are you okay?"

The old man nodded with a smile and took Master Zhong aside to reminisce about the past.

He is 90 years old. He looks haggard but is agile, calm and natural, and speaks and smiles, making people feel very friendly.

That’s right, he was the Taoist priest named Mi Jingzi, who passed down the Eight Parts of Vajra Skill and Longevity Skill, and wrote the book “The Origin and Flow of Qi Body”, and was known to later generations as Taoist Priest Zhang Zhishun.

In his previous life, Mr. Fang tried to practice Vajra and longevity many times in order to prolong his life. Unfortunately, his body could not keep up and he would fall seriously ill every time he persisted for a few days.

Logically speaking, as long as he could get through it and replenish his energy, the disease would eventually go away. Unfortunately, he couldn't complete the latter step, so forcing himself to train was useless.

But this did not prevent him from respecting Taoist Master Zhang, whose life was noble and otherworldly, and which greatly contributed to the revival of Taoism in modern times.

"Uncle Master, this is my unworthy disciple."

Master Zhong pulled Fang Xinghe over to pay a visit to the Taoist priest.

Fang Xinghe couldn't help but reveal a question mark on his face. No, when did I become the closed disciple?

But there is no time to think so much now.

"Good boy, good boy, I know you. I heard a lot when I first arrived in the mountains."

The Taoist priest took Fang Xinghe's hand and gently patted the back of his hand. His palm was dry but warm, and his vitality was not waning.

Fang Xinghe was naturally obedient, allowing the other party to look at him, and said with a silly smile: "The reputation of being naughty is not worth mentioning."

Uncle Chenghui glanced over and said, "A closed disciple? Are you really not going to teach martial arts anymore?"

"Don't pass it on, don't pass it on!"

Master Zhong laughed out loud, his eyebrows and eyes flying: "Now is just right, now is just right, the Tao has arrived!"

"Ugh!"

Uncle Chenghui sighed, and no one knew which disappointing disciple he was muttering in his heart.

Then, he said sadly: "In this case, I will give him the secret teachings of my Longmen Sect... Isn't this why you came here?"

"Hehe, that's impossible, hahahaha!" Master Zhong was so excited...

Fang Xinghe obediently served the Taoist priests and reminisced about the past. After lunch, he was taught the Longmen sect's internal skills, the "Golden Sutra of Marrow Washing".

This thing is not as mysterious as imagined, but it is also very important.

It is different from the Sanfeng School's martial arts. It is the Taoist Inner Alchemy School's kung fu used to build the foundation and nourish qi.

To be specific, it is like a higher level of standing meditation. Long term practice can improve physical fitness, prevent all kinds of diseases, replenish Qi and blood, and prolong life.

The internal energy that I have cultivated has many wonderful uses, but it cannot be used for fighting...

Well, this is a common problem of Taoist gong. Can you say that Vajra Gong is fake? It can't be used in combat either.

In fact, Fang Xinghe's demand for Taoist internal skills is not that high. After all, he can add points to his health with the cheat, and the effect must be better.

However, being able to learn this set of kung fu meant that he was also recognized by the Longmen School.

Taoist Master Zhang Zhishun is the 21st generation of the Longmen Sect, while Taoist Master Chenghui is the 24th generation, of the Cheng generation.

Once this identity was confirmed, Taoist Fang completely became a member of the Taoist sect. Although the Longmen Sect was not well-known outside, it was actually the orthodox sect of Quanzhen. When it came to Taoism, all branches, including the Qingcheng Sect, Emei Sect, and Laoshan Sect, recognized it.

After confirming this identity, Master Zhong began to take him to various places in Wudang Mountain to collect money.

Wherever they went, it was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and they all returned laughing.

The Songxi School has the Songxi Stick, the Xuanwu School has the Xuanwu Sword, and the Shenjian School is the most outrageous, with three great swords: Seven-Star Tiangang, Immortal, and God.

But when it comes to martial arts alone, the Divine Sword Sect is indeed the most systematic and powerful.

The general idea alone is clear:

The omnipotent is called God, the omnipotent is called Wonderful. The omnipotent was omnipotent before the heaven and the earth, and the omnipotent is what gave birth to the heaven and the earth. Existence is the source of ability, and ability is the result of existence. Both cultivation of Taoism and martial arts are based on this, which must not be ignored.

The following explanation is also very wonderful, explaining the principles of "martial arts are integrated with medicine, boxing is included in writing, and the three saints are one" very clearly.

Attached at the end are the Twelve Theories, which form a complete set of guiding ideas for practicing martial arts.

But later, Mr. Heng Jiu, the master of Shenjian School, refuted Tai Chi again, and wrote in the classics: "Sanfeng not only obtained the energy of Liuhe, but also used thirteen postures to exert the power of Liuhe. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Wang Zhengnan and others used Huang Lizhou's theory to add thirteen postures and called it Tai Chi, which was no longer Sanfeng Wudang Boxing. Later, it became a family with the surname..."

What I mean is that the current Yang style Tai Chi and Chen style Tai Chi are all passed down from generation to generation, not the original style. Mine is the authentic one.

Fang Xinghe didn't believe it completely, but the Taiyi Divine Sword was really interesting. It was actually a rare short sword technique. The sword was no more than one foot and eight inches long, and it was used in close combat.

Fang Xinghe couldn't imagine a scenario where it could be used, he just thought it was an excellent supplement to his existing weapon system.

If you can handle a dagger, then a dagger is no problem.

If you are good at handling the dagger, then playing the role of an agent should be a piece of cake, right?
In this way, he learned and practiced all the way, and soon he grasped the essence of Wudang Mountain.

During this period, Uncle Chenghui also advised him not to bite off more than he could chew. His original words were: "Yunlong is really a fool! Practicing martial arts is like practicing cultivation. The most taboo is greed and impatience. If you learn the same thing every day, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, what good can you learn from him!"

Master Zhong just stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything.

By the next day, Fang Xinghe had mastered a set of Xuanwu Fist in just one day, and he beat Uncle Chenghui to death on the spot.

Master Zhong squinted at him and exhaled softly through one nostril: "Hmm?"

The uncle covered his face and left.

The Spring Festival of 2000 gradually arrived in peace.

In fact, they were not peaceful at the beginning. The naughty kids often pestered Fang Xinghe and asked him all kinds of questions. They fell down and kicked him a few times before they slowly became peaceful.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is on February 2th, and Fang Xinghe and Duo Yu stayed in the mountains to celebrate the New Year.

Everyone sat in their seats and talked about this time last year, feeling filled with emotion.

No one would have thought that the junior fellow who was just an ordinary person last year would become so famous in just one year.

Shi Xing poured a bowl of rice wine, and Fang Xinghe raised his glass: "Junior brother, I wish you a bright future and continued success."

This is not a blessing that Taoists usually use, but since they are Taoists, it is normal to use whatever is practical and whatever is appropriate to the occasion.

Fang Xinghe toasted with a smile, then presented the gifts he had prepared for everyone one by one.

A complete set of four treasures of the study, very elegant.

Everyone was happily chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala. When the show was halfway through, Fang Xinghe's fans suddenly got frustrated - Xie Bi Wang appeared.

To be honest, as a member of Generation Z, Fang Xinghe had never seen this scene in his previous life, and he couldn't quite understand why Xie Tingfeng was so popular back then.

Now, he understands.

Under the protection of the crowd, Xie Bi Wang, wearing a ponytail, a white shirt with a wide lapel, a suit and leather shoes, and Dong Jie, who was dressed as a bride, came on stage and sang the song "Together in This Life".

The pure and beautiful first-generation Princess Chunyu smiled sweetly, and Xie Tingfeng, who had a rebellious look, smiled gently and walked slowly with her on the stage. This scene almost interpreted romance to the extreme that had never been seen before.

His singing has a special Hong Kong-style pronunciation. For example, "a moment" was sung as "a xun time", but it is not unpleasant to the ear, but adds a great sense of memory.

It is redundant and unnecessary to further analyze his singing skills. Just this appearance, this song selection, and this design are enough to be a planning classic that will go down in history.

Fang Xinghe understood too well the mechanism of emotional projection. In just a moment, the leader of the navy judged that there would be a huge number of little girls who would fall completely into this sweet bubble.

An ordinary song with weak emotional projection.

"Together for Life" and the wedding stage are exceptions among exceptions, the first of their kind to create an extreme impact.

This generation of girls’ filter of Xie Tingfeng as their male god will surely last for a very long time.

As expected, when the song was halfway through, Fang Xinghe's fans were cut by 30%, and even the number of fanatical fans was slowly decreasing.

Opening the panel and looking at the data carefully, the first-generation top star frowned slightly.

【Properties Panel】

Appearance attributes: Appearance 99, Body 79 (expanded)

体质属性：力量79、速度80、耐力89、灵敏80、柔韧89

[Skill Panel]

Major martial arts categories: 22 categories, 10 categories with 89 points, and the rest are omitted.

Gepai actor training method: 85
【Starlight Panel】

【Number of fans: 1580w】

Level 1 floating powder: 1350w→1000w
Level 2 Core: 182w → 128w
Level 3 diehard fans: 35 → 29
Level 4 Zeal: 42158 → 40005
Level 5 Conviction: 68 → 68
【Star value: 850w】

[Star value: 0]

During the month of silence, the starlight value went from a crazy increase to a slow increase, and finally to a stop. Fang Xinghe not only maxed out his immunity, but also increased his flexibility to 89 points.

Starting about 10 days ago, both the star power and the number of fans have returned to normal and entered a stable period.

It is still rising every day, but the increase is not much, just sporadic.

Until today, when he was suddenly slashed by Xie Tingfeng.

Obviously the biggest losers were the die-hard fans and fanatics; the number of 62000 was enough to make Fang Xinghe feel the pain.

Fanatical fans are never eternal, even faithful fans are not eternal.

Enthusiasm itself can be smoothed out by time. As fans grow older and their mentality matures, their enthusiasm will inevitably change.

However, rapid deformation in a short period of time is rare and usually only occurs in major building collapse incidents.

A situation like this where they are sucked away by a song means they have completely fallen in love with someone else and it is almost impossible to recover.

What a big loss, Fang Xinghe thought.

He was not very annoyed, let alone angry.

If we can conquer fans with our works, we must allow others to conquer fans with their works as well.

The stage of "Together We Live" will be ordinary thirty years later, but now it is awesome and great to watch.

Moreover, Fang Xinghe knew where he suffered a loss - his emotional projection was too weak on the one hand, and the fantasy material did not fit on the other hand. Finally, his appearance was weakened.

On TV today, Fang Xinghe's bones are only slightly better than Xie Bi Wang's, and his skin is slightly better, but overall there is not much difference at all.

In fact, even in later generations, the camera still cannot present the ultimate beauty.

Anyone who has seen Feixian and Jujie in real life knows that the difference between the two is actually 98 vs. 88, with a gap in between. But when looking at them through the camera, many people even think that Jujie is more beautiful than Feixian - because her temperament and demeanor are particularly good.

This is the weakening of the shot, and Fang Xinghe is the weakened party. The work is in text, which is too non-intuitive, so he was ruthlessly slashed by Xie Bi Wang on the spot.

He might even assert that this is only the beginning.

As the live video is continuously spread and ruminated, more and more young girls will be immersed in the dream bubble blown by Xie Tingfeng with his handsome face.

The situation of losing fans will not subside, but will only intensify.

And this was precisely one of those rare moments when he felt helpless.

They won by their real ability, so he should acknowledge it. Fang Xinghe would not be furious about such a thing, that would be too cheap.

However, he didn't intend to just stand there and do nothing.

I am only convinced in this battle, and I still have to fight.

The fight for fans is a protracted war. On the battlefield, if I destroy you, what does it have to do with you?
He immediately wrote an article with a very crazy title, very Fang Xinghe-like.

"The second most handsome man in the world besides me, Xie Tingfeng is awesome!"

That’s right, Brother Fang, you are ready to increase the intensity for everyone.

I haven’t recovered yet. I wrote this with tears in my eyes.
