Chapter 84 Tai Chi Xuan

The word Tai Chi was first seen in "The Book of Changes·Xici Shang", and was later explained and interpreted by sages of all generations, and gradually evolved into a part of traditional culture. It can be said that it has been passed down for a long time.

Therefore, any academic discipline or school that has anything to do with Taoism or Yin-Yang School is familiar with this concept, and the martial arts and techniques derived from it are even more numerous.

In this world of comprehensive martial arts, the 'Tai Chi Fist' created by Wudang Master Zhang is just one of the schools. In the past history, there have actually been many schools of martial arts, but most of them have not been passed down or are hidden.

While Zhang Wuji was stunned, Lu Ping had already got ready for battle.

"Absorbing the positive energy of heaven and earth, transforming the universe into the infinite..."

"Tai Chi Xuan!"

Opening to the left and right, guiding the soft and the hard, Tai Chi creates yin and yang.

Yin and Yang contain thousands of images, and the wonderful numbers of heaven and earth are hidden in ten fingers.

Lu Ping moved his hands like a cloud, controlled the flowing wind, and just as he made a starting gesture with the 'Tai Chi Xuan' in his hand, the onlookers suddenly felt a powerful momentum sweeping over them, and they were all shocked.

The diners who were leaning out of the windows on the second and third floors of the inn next door to watch the show had their eyes wide open, because from their perspective, they could clearly see a Tai Chi shadow faintly emerging under Lu Ping's feet.

"This...is this...Tai Chi?"

"No way, this kid... wants to show off his Tai Chi skills in front of Wudang disciples? Isn't that just showing off one's skills in front of an expert?"

"If you don't understand, then stop talking. Look at his aura. I believe he is a Wudang disciple... No, he is a Wudang elder!"

"It's worth dying to see such a wonderful duel!"

Seeing the current situation, even though Zhang Wuji considered himself to be the best of the younger generation of Wudang, he couldn't help but secretly wonder whether the other party was the last disciple secretly accepted by his master, and was hiding something from him during the process of teaching him.

"Brother Wang, you...your master..."

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and Zhang Wuji began to stutter when he spoke.

"Don't ask, just fight."

Even though he had secretly practiced it many times when he was alone before, this was the first time Lu Ping used Tai Chi Xuan to fight against someone. Even he himself didn't know to what extent he could perform.

'The spirit is empty and the top of the head is strong, and the qi sinks into the dantian and returns to the Yongquan...'

Silently reciting the profound formula of Tai Chi in his mind, Lu Ping practiced boxing while adjusting his internal strength. His strength seemed neither loose nor loose, about to be exerted but not yet exerted, his strength was interrupted but his intention was not. In an instant, he attracted the air currents around him, forming an unrivaled Tai Chi flow.

The next moment, Lu Ping took a step forward and moved closer to Zhang Wuji.

"Strike separately until the enemy and I are completely separated, so as to completely separate the yin and yang; strike together until the enemy and I are completely integrated, so as to completely merge into Tai Chi, to the point of being invincible and without me..."

Zhang Wuji was suddenly shocked and didn't understand what Lu Ping wanted to do.

The Tai Chi boxing he learned was based on the sixteen-character trick of "empty and light top strength, chest in, back straightened, waist loose, hips drooping, shoulders sinking, elbows dropping". It was performed purely with the mind and force should not be used. When practicing, one should pay attention to using softness to overcome hardness and using stillness to control movement.

Although Wudang Tai Chi is not only for defense but also for attack, due to Zhang Wuji's personal character, almost every time he used it against the enemy, he would wait for others to attack first and then strike back.

In addition, he did not expect Lu Ping to suddenly use Tai Chi, a fighting style that was completely different from his own. He was distracted and confused for a moment.

Although both of them are used to strike back after the opponent is attacked, the Wudang "Tai Chi Fist and Palm" and the Taihua "Nine Swords of Dugu" are different. The purpose of the latter is to break the moves, while the purpose of the former is to guide and rebound. Therefore, in the eyes of masters, the "Nine Swords of Dugu" is just a fancy and empty trick, while the "Tai Chi Fist and Palm" is a real superior and unique skill.

"When I attack with a combined attack, people don't know me, but I know them; when I attack with a divided attack, people don't know me, but I can change quickly..."

Before Zhang Wuji could come to his senses, Lu Ping had already approached him and slapped him with his palm.

Without giving it much thought, Zhang Wuji immediately performed the Tai Chi taught by his master, Master Zhang, and raised his palm to block, but was unexpectedly pulled away by Lu Ping's other hand from behind, and then attacked with a palm on the shoulder.

Zhang Wuji kept his feet still, his whole body as steady as a rock, secretly gathering internal strength in his body, waiting for the palm to land so that he could counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ping's palm was just a feint. It stopped abruptly seven inches away from his shoulder. Then he moved sideways and bumped into him with his shoulder.

The palm and shoulder attack methods are different, so the coping methods are naturally different. Zhang Wuji made a mistake for a moment, and was actually pushed several meters away by this seemingly light collision, retreating to the edge of the stage!
Before he could come to his senses, Lu Ping's figure caught up with him again.

This was because Lu Ping was intentionally controlling his own speed so that he and Zhang Wuji always maintained a fixed distance to facilitate combo moves.

"To attack together, you can defeat the enemy in stillness, aiming at relaxation and softness; to attack separately, you can defeat the enemy in motion, aiming at calmness and strength..."

Continuing to recite the Tai Chi Mysterious Heart Method in his mind, Lu Ping took advantage of Zhang Wuji's distraction and stretched out both hands to grab his arm which had not yet fallen, and suddenly lifted it to the side!

Whoosh! !

Zhang Wuji only felt his eyes blurred, and then he was lifted into the air by an unstoppable force, followed by seven or eight high-speed tumbling sideways that were out of his control.

Even a martial artist like him who had achieved some success in internal energy could not maintain body balance and the flow of true energy.

When the inertia of the tumbling finally slowed down, Zhang Wuji immediately started to circulate his internal Qi again. However, when he stood firmly on the ground, he found that he had fallen out of the field!
"Brother Zhang, I'm grateful for your kindness."

Zhang Wuji looked up when he heard the voice and found Lu Ping smiling at him with his fists clasped.

"This...I lost?"

After being stunned for a long while, Zhang Wuji finally reacted. He realized that he was knocked over by Lu Ping's move and fell out of the field. He was naturally eliminated. He couldn't help but sigh.

But he soon regained his composure, clasped his fists, and said loudly: "Brother Wang is more skilled. I must learn a few more moves from you if there is a chance."

Zhang Wuji didn't feel ashamed of losing, he just felt sorry that he didn't perform well, and felt sorry for not being able to let Lu Ping use his full strength.

"Hahaha...of course!"

Of course Lu Ping was happy after defeating Xiao Zhang.

Even though this match was affected by sneak attacks and venue rules, a win is a win. Even Xiao Zhang has admitted defeat, so there is no need to belittle myself.

There were five contestants, four of whom were eliminated due to falling off the field, leaving only Lu Ping. It was natural for him to become the final winner of this "steamed bun grabbing competition".

Amid the cheers of the onlookers, Lu Ping accepted the prize - the voucher - with a small smile on his face, and then gave it to the man who had just given him the competition spot.

The man was overjoyed and even felt flattered. He tightly grasped the voucher, looked at Lu Ping with shining eyes, and asked haltingly, "Is this... really possible?"

"Of course, as I said before, winning or losing is yours."
