Ye Hao, after hearing this, directly pulled Hu Yanhu and the two of them to their knees and said, "Ye Hao, along with my two junior brothers, pays respects to the two masters."

Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu quickly called out, "Disciple Xu Shaoyuan (Hu Yanhu) pays respects to the two masters."

Zhang Wuchen waved his hand and smiled, "You two are not suitable for practicing Wudang martial arts. Of course! If you don't mind being Wudang's attendants, cooking and doing chores, this old Taoist will take you in."

Upon hearing Zhang Wuchen's words, Hu Yanhu sensibly stood up, while Xu Shaoyuan wished to persist for a while...

"Hehe, what is not yours is not yours, you cannot force it, you cannot force it!" Zhang Wuchen cheerfully said.

Hearing this, Xu Shaoyuan could only stand up helplessly with cupped fists.

"Master, why aren't they suitable for practicing Wudang martial arts?" Ye Hao asked.

"Disciple, once you learn Tai Chi, you'll understand why they're not suitable for practicing Wudang martial arts," Zhang Wuchen helped Ye Hao up and smiled.

Indeed! Ye Hao's guess was spot on, the true martial arts of Wudang is Tai Chi. Of course, the real martial arts of Wudang are not Tai Chi Chuan, but authentic Tai Chi.

Tai Chi Chuan is merely a fist technique evolved from Tai Chi.

"Is Tai Chi hard to learn?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.

"It's not hard to learn, but it depends on the person. Disciple, your talent is outstanding. Although the things you learn seem varied, they all come from the same source. If my guess is correct, you are proficient in every one of Shaolin's 72 Skills. Otherwise, your internal masculine energy wouldn't be so strong." Zhang Ruochen smiled.

"Master, how did you know I mastered Shaolin's 72 Skills?" Ye Hao asked Zhang Ruochen in confusion. It seemed he hadn't demonstrated Shaolin martial arts in front of Zhang Ruochen and the others, had he?

"Only Shaolin martial arts can allow a child to cultivate to the most masculine state, and you happen to be a child." Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Ye Hao, upon hearing this, felt embarrassed. Hu Yanhu and Xu Shaoyuan were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, saying, "Boss, you're still a child?"

"Yeah! Already over twenty, and still a child, Boss, you're outdated."

"Scram!" Ye Hao glared at them and snorted.

Ye Hao also felt quite frustrated in his heart. According to their words, it seemed like neither of them were children, which made Ye Hao feel uneasy, after all, he was their boss! A boss who is still a child—it doesn't sound good if it gets out.

"Haha!" The two of them laughed even more gleefully upon seeing Ye Hao angry and embarrassed.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, "Disciple, there's nothing wrong with being a child. Once you cross the National Martial Arts Realm and reach another level, when you want children, they will be born at the third stage of National Martial Arts. This is something that can't be sought, so you need to restrain yourself, maintain your child status, otherwise, if your Yin and Yang are imbalanced, it will be very difficult to master Tai Chi."

"Yes, Master." Ye Hao nodded. He thought, now is indeed not the right time to break the child status, as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms he practiced explicitly states that unless perfection is attained, the child status should not be broken, otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the pinnacle in future cultivation.

"Disciple, let me ask you, what's the most masculine martial art within you?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

"I don't know if it's the other Cultivation Techniques in the Seventy-Two Profound Arts or the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms," Ye Hao wasn't sure, so he answered uncertainly.

"The Seventy-Two Profound Arts cannot be so masculine, you must have another masculine Cultivation Technique, right?"

Ye Hao nodded, then moved his palms, carrying two waves of heat.

Ye Hao's hands came together, and a dragon's roar was emitted.

"The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu both widened their eyes.

This martial art... is on the same level as Nine Yang Divine Skill! Although not as comprehensive as Tai Chi, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is a treasure among masculine martial arts!

"Yes, Master." Ye Hao nodded.

"Not bad, not bad at all! I didn't expect you to have learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Although I don't know where you learned it, but for you to be able to master this Palm Technique, I'm quite pleased!" Zhang Ruowu smiled.

Zhang Ruochen continued, "Indeed, this Cultivation Technique is a treasure of masculinity!"

Then Zhang Wuchen asked, "What about the other martial art?"

Ye Hao, upon hearing this, moved his hands again, as he drew a few circles, Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu distinctly felt a coldness.

Then their eyebrows started to freeze over.

Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu watched in confusion, they could not identify what martial art Ye Hao was performing with his hands!

"Crackle!"

Some snowflakes that hadn't yet frozen now began to freeze.

After watching for more than half an hour, Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu still couldn't figure out what Cultivation Technique this was.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen sighed, "Disciple, you are a person with great fortune! This martial art of yours is undoubtedly an extreme Yin treasure!"

"Hehe, I'm not too curious about great fortunes, I just want to practice Tai Chi, as Tai Chi is the national essence of Huaxia martial arts!" Ye Hao smiled.

"If you want to learn, it's straightforward. Have you ever come into contact with Tai Chi before?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

"Yes, my grandfather exchanged a few moves with me."

"You've learned the most basic Tui Shou, haven't you?"

"I have."

"Now, I'll tell you the six main points of practicing Tai Chi: First, practice clumsy force like a mad demon. Second, practice soft cotton to seal, close, and ward. Third, practice taking inch by inch and entering inch by inch. Fourth, freely posture in a lazy dragon's rest. Fifth, practice the heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys. Sixth, practice with bones, muscles, skin, and flesh."

Ye Hao, after pondering slightly, understood what it meant. The first meant that what seems like clumsy strength can unleash a powerful attack like a mad demon. The second meant to use soft, cotton-like hands to use the force of four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, or borrow strength to counter strength, while also using your hands to seal off the opponent's front, back, left, right, up, and down. Third, matching the opponent's force with equal force, without attempting to use Tai Chi to collide forcefully.

Fourth, in a free style, not focusing heavily on technique and form, appearing like a lazy dragon, but actually being as fierce as a tiger. The fifth and sixth primarily talk about practicing Tai Chi to strengthen the body and enhance qi and spleen.

"Master, I understand." Ye Hao nodded.

"Hehe, being able to understand it immediately shows that you have a basic understanding of Tai Chi. What is Tai Chi?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

"Tai Chi... does it refer to two types of forces?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled, as he really didn't understand what Tai Chi was.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head, then smiled, "I don't blame you for not understanding, though I hope you understand the essence of Tai Chi after I finish explaining."

"Please, Master, go ahead."

Zhang Ruochen stepped onto the ice bed, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Book of Changes has Tai Chi, Tai Chi produces two forms, two forms generate four phenomena, four phenomena create eight trigrams. Tai Chi is also Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth create Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang create the Five Elements, the Five Elements..."

Ye Hao sat quietly, listening, and as he listened, it seemed as if he was on the verge of an epiphany...(To be continued.
