Chapter 3: The Astonishing Person

How could I dare! How could I dare! How could I accept a bow from Zilong? Previously, it was I who acted recklessly and lost my true self; I must thank Zilong for waking me up! Looking at Zhao Yun bowing once again, Chu He hurriedly stepped forward, embraced this renowned general of the ages, and spoke with great fervor.

Zhao Yun hurriedly knelt on one knee, performed a grand salute, and respectfully said: "Master, what brings you here?"

Suddenly, in front of Zhao Yun, Chu He moved his hands, and he felt as if the fist he had thrown was caught by a gentle, water-like force, which uncontrollably surged to one side.

If others respect me by a foot, I will return the respect by a mile! This reflects the style of conduct of Chu He, stemming from a deep reverence for the ancients. He dared not allow Zhao Zilong to bow down again, no matter what.

What kind of martial art is this? Zhao Yun rubbed his chest, relinquished his desire to compete, and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

This time, it was also thanks to Zhao Yun's relentless pursuit and combat that Chu He came to realize the truth during the battle. He was not someone who was overly concerned about gains and losses. If it had not been for his thoughts failing to keep pace with the leap, he would not have been so agitated. In the moment he executed Tai Chi, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he instantly understood certain things, accepting this reality.

Though my strength cannot rival yours, I employ softness to overcome hardness, using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds! The Chu River enters martial arts through Tai Chi, and the first martial art I learned was Tai Chi itself. I cultivated my internal strength based on Tai Chi, and then my master sent me to Wudang to practice martial arts for eight years, after which I began to study the inherited martial arts of the Yin-Yang school

"Tai Chi! Why are you not worried that I am a demon?" Looking at Zhao Yun, whose attitude had turned one hundred and eighty degrees, Chu He could not help but sigh inwardly. Zhao Zilong truly lived up to his name, changing his attitude so quickly, unlike the reckless man who, even when knowing he was wrong, still clung to his pride.

"Brother Chu, what are you doing? Two men embracing each other..." Zhao Yun was extremely unaccustomed to Chu He’s enthusiasm. While struggling to break free from Chu He’s bear hug, he expressed his displeasure, and his scholarly face instantly turned beet red.

Zhao Yun's eyes revealed a hint of caution as he observed the wide-open stance of Chu He. His brows slightly furrowed, and his fists relaxed slightly as he took the initiative to attack Chu He.

Bang

Chu He became increasingly agitated, his mind racing with chaotic thoughts, contemplating that he must seize the opportunity to embrace all the fierce generals and strategists of the Three Kingdoms. His expression grew more peculiar, causing Zhao Yun, who was beside him, to appear extremely uncomfortable, his gaze reflecting a hint of strange brilliance.

I am not some kind of monster! Chu He felt a flicker of sensation return to his arm, his feet spread apart, his body relaxed, and his eyes gazed straight ahead. The Tai Chi starting posture was already set, waiting for Zhao Yun to attack

To be able to embrace Zhao Zilong is already a fulfillment of this life! If there is a chance to also embrace Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang, and the like, to partake in the spirit of great generals and strategists, it would be even better if I could embrace Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao, then I would have no regrets in death

Hmph! Zhao Yun let out a cold snort, and his other fist was ready to strike at any moment. However, just as the fist was about to be thrown, it was ensnared by another hand of Chu He.

Bang

Chu He entered the inner sect under the guidance of Master Xuanxu at Wudang, focusing primarily on fist techniques and swordsmanship. Additionally, he possesses some knowledge of other weapons such as sabers, spears, staffs, axes, hooks, and forks, as well as various esoteric martial arts.

Once the martial virtue is displayed, it inevitably leads to a situation of no retreat and no survival. Therefore, Chu He merely demonstrates Tai Chi to the enemy. When this technique is executed, Chu He's demeanor undergoes a transformation, reflecting the unique character cultivated through long-term immersion in Tai Chi.

Bang

In the moment of relaxation by the Chu River, the inner turmoil from https://m.hetushu.com was instantly soothed, and a refreshing sensation flowed from his heart, causing the light in his eyes to grow ever stronger

In an instant, Zhao Yun suddenly felt his hands slip out of control. Just as he was about to make a desperate counterattack, he saw Chu He gently step forward with his right foot, leaning his shoulder against the wide-open gap in Zhao Yun's defense. Then, with a powerful thrust from his waist, Zhao Yun felt a searing pain in his chest, and his body was instantly propelled away.

Zhao Yun fell to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief, staring blankly at the subdued Chu He, his expression turning extremely awkward. He could not understand how his own strength was clearly greater than that of Chu He, yet Chu He had effortlessly defeated him using a remarkably gentle force, as if he had borrowed from the past to easily neutralize Zhao Yun's power.

The vigorous fist technique was heavy and powerful, generating a whirlwind of fist energy that surged directly towards Chu He's open guard. Zhao Yun's footwork was orderly, each step accumulating strength, and as he approached Chu He, he suddenly unleashed all his power.

This old man is a master! However, the official history does not mention who Zhao Yun's master was. There are rumors that Zhao Yun's master was named Tong Guan, a legendary gun god, and that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren were disciples of Tong Yuan.

In his heart, Chu He pondered the identity of the elder, and indeed, he followed closely behind Zhao Yun, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect for his seniority, and replied: "Without the infinite, there is no Tai Chi; when Tai Chi moves, it generates Yang; when movement reaches its extreme, there is stillness; stillness gives rise to Yin; when stillness reaches its extreme, it returns to movement; one movement and one stillness are mutually rooted; Yin and Yang are differentiated. The two forms stand in balance! Senior, what do you think?"

A sense of inexplicable loss emerged in Zhao Yun's heart; he could not have imagined that there existed such profound martial arts in this world. As he looked at Chu He, his gaze gradually began to reflect a hint of respect.

Haha, what a great Tai Chi! Could you possibly explain what Tai Chi is? At that moment, a deep and aged voice came from the forest. Chu He couldn't help but turn his head to look, and he saw an elderly man with white beard and bald head, dressed in a set of yellowed cloth garments, striding forward with an imposing presence, completely unlike a frail old person.

The two fists collided, and the powerful impact forced Chu He to step back six paces, his arms slightly numb, rendering him unable to lift them for a moment, while Zhao Yun in front remained as steady as Mount Tai

The inheritance of the Yin-Yang school's martial arts consists of only two forms: one is the Five Virtues Fist, an ancient boxing technique passed down since antiquity; the other is the Taiji Great Spear, created by Danxinzi, a descendant of the Yin-Yang school during the late Ming Dynasty. After several hundred years of gradual refinement, it has evolved into the now-secret Taiji spear technique.

A person capable of performing the profound martial arts of m.hetushu.com cannot possibly be one who engages in evil deeds, for martial arts masters are extremely selective in taking on disciples. They would rather go their entire lives without a student than allow their techniques to be passed down and cause harm for a thousand years. After all, my own master is precisely such a person

Zhao Yun chuckled and shook his head, saying: "There are many sorcerers with various techniques, but few possess martial skills! Your martial skills are so profound, you must be a descendant of a great master. Great masters choose their disciples with great care; if one is not extraordinary, how could they inherit such teachings? I hope you can forgive my earlier rudeness!"

Among them, Wudequan is a secret transmission of the Yin-Yang practitioners, thus it cannot be publicly revealed or casually passed on. It may only be demonstrated externally and widely taught to disciples under circumstances of life-threatening danger or upon discovering the lost treasures of the Yin-Yang practitioners, thereby obtaining that great secret of the lineage, which allows one to showcase their identity as a successor of the Yin-Yang practitioners.

"Your power is too weak, unleash your sorcery!" Zhao Yun's calm voice echoed in Chu He’s ears, carrying a strong sense of anticipation.

Hehe, I have been feeling quite bored on the mountain. Hearing that a demon has appeared here, I came to take a look. I did not expect to witness such a masterful display of martial arts. I, an old man, have come forth to seek some guidance!" The elder stroked his beard, his eyes shining like the blazing sun in a clear sky, making Chu He unable to meet his gaze, as if he were trying to see right through him.
