“That’s expensive. Is there anyone who is actually willing to pay so much?” Wang An was really shocked by the price.

1,500-yuan for one person, 15,000-yuan for ten people. He could easily earn tens of thousands of yuan from a day of class. How much money could he earn in a year?

“Yes, but the students are not ordinary people. It is said that every weekend, the Tai Chi dojo on Qingyang Mountain is full of luxury cars.

“Think about it. Do you think ordinary people can attend such an expensive class?”

“I didn’t expect this Tai Chi to be so profitable. Since it’s so profitable, why don’t you go to Qingyang Mountain and open a Intention Fist Martial Arts Dojo next to him?”

“What the hell are you saying? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to slapping him in the face? Chen Xifeng would get mad!

He had been in Hu An City for many years and had a lot of connections. He isn’t someone who you should provoke!” Li Xinzhu said hurriedly.

“You guys already opened a dojo next to Director Yang’s, how is this any different?”

“It’s definitely not the same. Yang Xianhua isn’t a local. Chen Xifeng was born and raised in Hu An City, and his father was a famous Tai Chi expert and was once the vice president of Hu An Martial Arts Association. The two of them are incomparable. The director of the Intention Martial Arts Dojo is not a local. It’s two people from other places competing against each other.”

“Eating must be done one bite at a time, and walking must be done one step at a time. If you take too big a step, you might end up in trouble,” he said, emphasizing the importance of patience and careful progress in various aspects of life.

“Thank you.”

“Sigh, when are you coming to learn?”

“I’ll think about it.” Wang An said with a smile.

“1,800-yuan, no, 1,500-yuan. We calculate based on cumulative days, not months. Even if you only attend for thirty days in a year, you’ll still only pay for one month.”

“1,800 with a 20% discount is 1,400.”

“What? 1,400 then. Pay over there.” Li Xinzhu pointed to the side.

In the end, Wang An paid the tuition fees. There were similarities in martial arts techniques, and many famous modern martial arts masters have dabbled in Tai Chi, Crushing Fist, Intention Fist, and other styles. They drew inspiration and learned from each of them to improve their skills.

Once his membership for the Tai Chi Dojo had expired, he did not plan on continuing to go there, even though placing first in the competition had exempted him from a month’s fees.

He could already feel that he would not be able to learn much more from the Tai Chi Dojo. It would be a waste of time to continue staying there.

However, he wanted to take a look at Qingyang Mountain dojo and meet Chen Xifeng.

Even though one lesson costs 1,500 yuan, he might be able to learn something. But if he spentmoney this way, his savings would disappear in an instant.

Scholars may be poor, but warriors have always been respected throughout history.

A gust of cold wind came out of the Intention Fist Martial Arts Dojo, blowing off many leaves.

Looking in the direction of the Tai Chi Dojo, he was a little dispirited. He was hoping to learn more there. After all, the tuition fee for two months was 4,000-yuan.

Now, it seemed that learning anything there would no longer be possible. Fortunately, he had recovered some of his costs and learned something before.

Wang An looked at the Tai Chi experience bar on his interface. It was about to level up.

“I wonder what the next level of Tai Chi will be like and what kind of surprise it will bring me.”

In the afternoon, while practicing snorkeling in the swimming pool, Wang An suddenly had an idea.

“Is it possible to practice Tai Chi in the water? Yang Guo could train his inner force in the mountain, torrents, and tides, while Bu Jingyun trained under a waterfall, so is it really outside the realm of possibility?”

With this idea in mind, he immediately put it into practice in the swimming pool. However, it was completely different in the water than on land. Because of the water resistance, it was not easy to even walk, not to mention doing Tai Chi.

He soaked in the water for more than an hour and tried repeatedly, but he could not even move freely in the water.

[You tried training your Tai Chi in the water. This idea is interesting.]

“Interesting. What does it mean?” Wang An felt a little tired when he came out of the pool.

He returned home to rest for a while and made a nice dinner to replenish his energy.

When the streetlights came on, he walked around the neighborhood to digest his food. When he went back, he read the Tai Chi Manual again. He also wrote down some of his experiences.

When he habitually opened the Tai Chi forum, he found that there were already replies to his questions.

He had once left a question on the forum about how to better comprehend the “Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi.”

There were some enthusiastic answers and all sorts of opinions. He scrolled down and saw the Taiji Yan’s reply.

[The Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi still needs to be constantly practiced. There is no quick way to do this, and it’s not easy to describe it in words. After years of practice and hard work, you will understand it when the time is right. It would be best if you had the guidance of a great teacher.]

[I saw that you said you were in Hu An City. As far as I know, Chen Xifeng of Hu An City is a famous Tai Chi expert. You might as well ask him for advice.]

“Chen Xifeng, you really are famous. People from other cities actually know about you. It seems like you are the real thing.” Wang Anxin said.

[Chen Xifeng? I’ve heard of this person before. It seems that he charges more than 1,000-yuan for one lesson. You also have to make an appointment.]

[A lesson that costs more than 1,000-yuan? Is Tai Chi Fist so profitable these days? You’re making me want to open my own dojo.]

[He is really capable.]

Wang An was about to exit the forum when he suddenly saw the latest post.

“Have you heard of the Pulse-Seizing Fist?”

“What kind of fist technique is the Pulse-Seizing Fist? I’ve never heard of it.” Wang An, who was a little curious, opened the post.

[What is the Pulse-Seizing Fist?]

“I’ve only heard of Jeet Kune Do and the Jie School of Investiture of the Gods.”

Taiji Yan replied

[I’ve only heard of this fist technique recently. The literal meaning is that it can disable the meridians of the human body, so it’s called the Pulse-Seizing Fist.]

[Why does it sound like acupressure? Is there anything sinister about it?]

[Pressing acupoints isn’t as exaggerated as it is described in novels or movies. The so-called acupoints are a type of martial arts that causes pain or paralysis by hitting certain acupoints in the human body.]

[I recently saw a person die of a heart attack, but before he died, he kept saying that he was hit in the heart by the Pulse-Seizing.] The person who commented was a netizen with the nickname “No Hands”.

[No way. This is a society ruled by law. Who would kill someone so brazenly? Didn’t you report it to the police?]

[We’ve already reported the case. The Public Security Bureau is investigating. The man who died was the director of a martial arts school and is very famous here.]

[What kind of martial arts did that director practice? Was it amazing?]

[He practiced Eight Trigrams Palm, but he is not famous for his martial arts. He was famous for having six wives.”

[Sigh, how enviable. With his passing, what will those poor ladies do?]

[The previous poster digressed. Let’s talk about the Pulse-Seizing Fist. Do you know how many punches Director Wei received before he lost his life? He was only dealt one punch.] “No Hands” commented.

[What? One punch?!]
