"If it really is the Yin Yang Balanced Body, it seems our Wudang's legacy has hope..."
Zhang Ruochen's words were filled with endless hope, showing how difficult it was to find a body that blends yin and yang.
"Indeed!" Zhang Ruowu also excitedly transmitted his voice to Zhang Ruochen.
Ye Hao stopped his cultivation and exhaled a breath of impure air, smiling, "Thank you for the trouble, seniors. I just woke up."
"It's good you've woken up, it's good you've woken up." Zhang Ruochen nodded, feeling grateful towards Ye Hao, though he did not express it. He preferred to repay those who helped him through actions.
Ye Hao glanced at Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu and smiled, "So, how was it? Were the fireworks beautiful?"
"Boss, it was awesome! Haha, I don't care about beautiful or not, I just know blowing up those bastards was damn satisfying. Let me tell you, I took out four or five National Martial Arts fourth or fifth level fighters with just one grenade, and those at the third or fourth level couldn't even escape."
"Yeah! But I didn't have as much fun; Hu snatched away all the crowds for the blasts. I only got to take out fifty people." Xu Shaoyuan said a bit dejectedly.
"Haha, be satisfied! The others didn't even get a single one; I finished them all myself." Hu Yanhu's eyes flashed with brilliance as he spoke.
At this point, Zhang Ruochen asked puzzledly, "What are you all talking about? This old monk doesn't understand at all."
"Hehe, Senior Zhang Ruochen, here's what happened..." Xu Shaoyuan explained the basic situation to Zhang Ruochen.
After listening, Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "What you did goes against the harmony of heaven."
"Senior, it's not like we wanted to! If we weren't ruthless to them today, they would be ruthless to our comrades in the next battle. Cause and effect, who can judge so much?" Xu Shaoyuan said helplessly.
"Ah! It's a young world out there; do as you wish!" Zhang Ruochen didn't say much more, as Xu Shaoyuan's words made sense—cause and effect, who can say who's right or wrong?
Then Zhang Wuchen looked to Ye Hao and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, are you perhaps cultivating a type of yang-strong martial arts?"
"Yes, is there something wrong with that, senior?" Ye Hao asked.
"It's very suitable. Besides cultivating yang-strong martial arts, do you also practice something that's pure yin?" Zhang Ruochen asked, trying to contain his excitement.
"Well... yes, senior, what's the matter?" Ye Hao didn't understand what Zhang Ruochen meant by this question.
"Haha, good, very good. Can you use both types of martial arts?" Zhang Ruochen asked again.
"I should be able to, although there's one technique I've just learned and am not very familiar with yet." Ye Hao referred to the newly learned technique "Frozen Tens of Thousands of Miles."
"What if I told you that Wudang has a martial art that can integrate both forms of martial arts, would you be interested in learning it?" Zhang Ruochen asked, pretending to be calm, but he was already nervous inside.
Ye Hao pondered slightly, A Wudang martial art? Fusion of two cultivation techniques? Isn't this like Yin-Yang Balance?
What Wudang cultivation technique can achieve Yin-Yang Balance? It's got to be Tai Chi, right?
Tai Chi, at its highest realm, is invincible...
Thinking of this, Ye Hao jumped off the ice bed, quickly knelt down, and said, "Ye Hao pays respect to the two masters..."
Ye Hao's decisiveness and straightforwardness stunned Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu for a moment. Then they understood and chuckled to themselves, thinking this boy was quite clever!
With that, Zhang Ruochen stepped forward to help Ye Hao up, saying, "Don't rush to become a disciple. It's not that simple to have us as your masters. Of course! With your wisdom, you are more than capable of being our disciple, but we are people of the martial world, and often our actions are restricted by it. For instance, at the end of this year, our Huaxia Wudang will compete with one of Jiepeng's top sects. If we lose, we will be mocked by the martial world; if we win, Huaxia will stand out for a moment..."
"How did this come about?" Ye Hao asked in confusion. Why would there be a competition with another country?
"What I mean is, once you join Wudang, any martial world matters that Wudang needs to address, you must fulfill unconditionally. Of course! To the extent of your strength, you won't be sent to deal with a National Martial Arts twelve-level matter when you're only at seven..." Zhang Ruochen smiled.
"Master, but why are we competing with Jiepeng?" Ye Hao was puzzled about this.
Zhang Ruochen did not stop Ye Hao from calling him 'Master,' and explained with a smile, "The competition between Wudang and Jiepeng is merely an exchange of martial arts essence between two nations, learning from each other's strengths to sustain martial arts heritage for longer."
"Then why us and not other sects?"
"Haha, every year there's a competition. It's just that the competition involves others coming to our country, visiting... to put it bluntly, it's a home challenge. If our Wudang can't compete, others will laugh at us for lacking prowess. Naturally, some might visit Huashan or Mount Heng, but those matters don't concern us."
"I see, those foreign sects act so arrogantly, daring to challenge us in profound Huaxia, they're completely clueless." Ye Hao said disdainfully.
"That's not right; other countries have their strong points too. We can't always consider our Huaxia's five-thousand-year culture history as the strongest; such thoughts shouldn't persist. Because in this world, there are others even stronger..."
Zhang Ruochen, having reached such power, naturally knew things about the Hidden Realm.
So he reminded Ye Hao not to act carelessly.
"I understand, Master, you're referring to those from the Hidden Realm, right?" Ye Hao said with a smile,
Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu were taken aback; as for Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu, they just watched as if enjoying a show. They also hoped Ye Hao could apprentice under Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu.
After all, these two were renowned figures both in Huaxia and internationally!
"How do you know?" Zhang Ruochen didn't expect Ye Hao, with such low power, to have encountered so much.
Then Ye Hao explained how he learned about the matters of the Hidden Realm and the secular world.
"Since you already know there are people from the Hidden Realm in the world, other countries may have such powerful figures too, so we should never underestimate any opponent." Zhang Ruochen advised Ye Hao.
"This young one understands."
"Hehe, senior brother, Ye Hao knows, so let's not nag him anymore. Let me tell him about Wudang's precepts! If Ye Hao can accept them, we'll take him as a disciple; if not, we owe him a favor."
Then Zhang Ruowu informed Ye Hao about Wudang's precepts.
After listening, Ye Hao directly pulled Hu Yanhu and others down to their knees and said, "Ye Hao, along with two junior brothers, pays respect to our two masters." (To be continued.
