Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

Lu Changqing was deeply moved and looked down at the book in his hand.

Simple and old.

Turning to the first page, one sees three characters written in a vigorous and flowing style.

"Tai Chi Stance".

Liu Bai gently waved his iron fan, walked to a side room, pulled out a grand chair, and sat down.

"The only pain point is..."

"Difficult to practice."

Liu Bai said, "Among those masters who cultivated with me, who were among the top few hundred in the martial arts world of the previous dynasty and whose names are well-known, not many can master this technique when they first learn it."

"The key I can tell you is 'yin' and 'yang,' 'stillness' and 'movement.'"

"By comprehending the two completely opposite forces, the internal and external, you can achieve balance, and then you will be able to practice stances more easily."

"First, read through it from beginning to end to get a general idea. Then, I'll demonstrate it for you."

Lu Changqing felt he could understand every word Liu Bai said.

But I still couldn't hide my unease.

but...

He has made up his mind.

Regardless of talent.

Learning martial arts is his last chance!

We must go all out!

Immediately, he began to read "Tai Chi Stance".

Each page is covered with tiny characters, with a few illustrations occasionally inserted next to it, mostly depicting human meridians and acupoints, along with many precautions.

The more Lu Changqing looked, the calmer his anxiety became.

Because he discovered that while he could understand what he saw, he couldn't truly comprehend it.

Therefore, there's no use in being anxious.

It would be better to calm down, memorize the content thoroughly, and then study it when Liu Bai demonstrates later.

Time flew by, and more than forty minutes passed.

As he turned the pages, Lu Changqing finished reading the last part of the Tai Chi stance.

Just as he closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and was about to calm his thoughts.

The Tai Chi diagram in his mind, which had never been filled, suddenly began to slowly rotate without any warning.

Gradually, the speed increased.

Yin and Yang alternate with each other.

In an instant, it stopped again.

Immediately afterwards, a line of ink characters appeared beneath the Tai Chi diagram.

The client's destiny lies in comprehending martial arts, specifically the "Tai Chi Stance."

Tai Chi Stance (Beginner, 0/1000)

It was also the instant the handwriting became visible.

Lu Changqing suddenly understood many of the obscure points about Tai Chi stance!

Numerous tiny characters and figures kept replaying in my mind...

"I see." "I understand." "Oh—that's how the movements are..."

Several minutes passed.

Lu Changqing finally snapped out of his daze after those mysterious changes.

After realizing what was happening, he focused his gaze intently.

Your own information appears before your eyes.

The martial arts section had suddenly changed from being empty to having a new stance training exercise added!

Attack: 1

[Defense: 1]

Life: 1 (State, Illness)

[Mana: 0]

[Martial Arts: Tai Chi Stance (Beginner)]

【talent:】

Lu Changqing couldn't possibly be unaware of what this meant.

His amazing comprehension came in handy!

In Liu Bai's words, there was a stance training technique that even many famous masters could not achieve.

In less than an hour, he had already grasped the basics!

"Inhale—exhale!"

Lu Changqing quickly calmed down, got up from the small stool, walked to Liu Bai, and handed the Tai Chi stance back to him.

"Young Master Liu, I've finished reading it."

Liu Bai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and looked at Lu Changqing. "How much of it can you understand?"

Lu Changqing considered it for a moment, "Most of them are obscure and difficult to understand."

Liu Bai did not express much opinion.

After all, he had already learned about Lu Changqing's situation last night.

The fact that a family with a long tradition of martial arts abandoned martial arts for literature speaks volumes.

Therefore, he stood up and said, "It's alright, don't be discouraged."

"Since I said I'd teach you something, I'll definitely make sure you succeed."

"Many masters in the past spent ten days to half a month just to get to the basics of this skill."

"After achieving a certain level of success, it becomes a bottleneck and difficult to advance to the next level."

"If you can walk out of the pit in about half a month, then you've succeeded."

As he spoke, he went to the center of the courtyard, lowered his center of gravity, and adopted a haughty posture.

Liu Bai's knees were slightly bent, and his feet were slightly apart, like the roots of an old pine tree. His arms were raised loosely, as if he were embracing, but not quite, and held firmly in front of him.

"Watch closely." He spoke, his breathing as steady as ever. "Tai Chi stance emphasizes 'intention' over 'form'."

He rotated very slowly, his left side appearing empty while his right side appeared full, then his right side appeared empty while his left side appeared full.

It appears motionless, but in reality, every joint in the body undergoes subtle adjustments, as if gently soaked by a light rain.

My breathing gradually synchronized with this extremely slow movement.

When still, it is like a mountain; when in motion, it is like flowing clouds.

"Yin and Yang are not inanimate objects; stillness contains movement, and movement contains stillness."

"Perceive yourself, seek the Yin and Yang at your fingertips, find that unwavering 'center,' and the stance will come alive."

Lu Changqing observed carefully and thought deeply.

In his eyes, Liu Bai's posture and the illustrations in the book corroborated his own understanding...

Thus, the Tai Chi diagram in my mind began to turn again.

[Under Liu Bai's devoted guidance, the subject grasped the essence of Tai Chi stance, greatly increasing his proficiency.]

[Tai Chi Stance (Beginner, 0→111/1000)]

Only when the ink writing disappeared did Lu Changqing suddenly come back to his senses.

At the same time, I was overjoyed.

Firstly, he was pleased with his own remarkable level of understanding.

Secondly, happy Liubai truly taught the Burning Technique!

Soon, Liu Bai slowly withdrew his stance, exhaling a long, even breath, and looked at Lu Changqing: "Can you remember this feeling?"

Lu Changqing nodded slowly, "I think I understand some of it."

Liu Bai raised an eyebrow. He thought Lu Changqing would deny it, and then he would need to teach him several more times.

After all, what he told Lu Changqing, that "some masters need ten days to half a month to get started," was not untrue.

To my surprise... he actually agreed!

Then, he chuckled softly.

They assumed that Lu Changqing was just too embarrassed to ask for advice again.

He said no more, simply stepping aside and pointing with his iron fan, "Come on, try it yourself..."

Lu Changqing did not refuse and went up to her.

He really wanted to try it.

Whether he can overcome this or not remains to be seen.

And also...

How does practicing martial arts affect one's own "golden finger" or the "yang" aspect of the Tai Chi symbol?

Lu Changqing stood in the courtyard, and based on the enlightenment in his mind and what he had just seen, he assumed a fighting stance.

His movements were clearly clumsy.

The slight bend in his knees was somewhat stiff, and the direction his toes were pointing seemed a bit deliberate.

When raising his arm, his shoulder blades were tense, unlike Liu Bai's which were as natural as if he were holding a rounded arm.

His entire demeanor exuded a sense of clumsiness.

As he tried to replicate the subtle rotation that Liu Bai had demonstrated, shifting his center of gravity from left to right, the process was sluggish and lacked any of the smooth, flowing smoothness.

His breathing was slightly disordered, independent of his movements, and his chest rose and fell.

But even so.

As Liu Bai sat down in the armchair, his previously indifferent expression turned solemn and extremely serious.

The way he looked at Lu Changqing was very focused!

As Lu Changqing's movements gradually changed and his breathing became erratic, Liu Bai became increasingly serious, his eyes revealing surprise and confusion.

I actually understood some of it!

The movements are clumsy and the breathing is disordered, but it is definitely the beginning of Tai Chi stance training!

Immediately, his eyes turned strange.

After reading the original text once and watching the demonstration again, I grasped the stance training that many martial arts practitioners take ten days to half a month to master...

Could this kid have an amazing level of comprehension?
