"Captain … Brothers, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed our First Battalion Team 1!"
As the victorious side, Cheng Chumo's side was naturally filled with joy and cheers, but as the defeated side, the First Battalion Team 1 was completely silent. After Lin Feng stood up from the ground, his expression was gloomy and his mood was complicated as he walked over to the First Battalion Team 1 members. He cupped his fist and said to Di Zhangsun and the others with a face full of shame.
The few of them were speechless, obviously they still hadn't recovered from their shock. Di Zhangsun took a step forward, patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said:
"Don't say such discouraging words, it's normal to have wins and losses in a competition. Cheng Chumo does have some ability, if I wasn't afraid of others saying I'm bullying the weak, I would have gone up and exchanged a few moves with him! You were a bit impatient just now, but you can't be blamed, Cheng Chumo must have had a breakthrough just now, or he suddenly realized something. "
Di Zhangsun was worthy of being a "veteran" who had been in the army for many years and had rich battle experience. He could see the changes in Cheng Chumo at a glance, and he was also quite interested in the magical method of neutralizing strength that Cheng Chumo displayed just now. If it wasn't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, he really wanted to bring Cheng Chumo up to the stage and fight him personally.
Hearing Di Zhangsun's high evaluation of Cheng Chumo, Lin Feng felt a bit better in his heart. After all, no matter if it was realm strength or experience in the army, Di Zhangsun surpassed them by a large margin. Even he looked at Cheng Chumo in a different light, which meant that Cheng Chumo was indeed very strong, and at the same time, it also meant that Lin Feng's loss just now wasn't unjust!
"Borrowing strength and neutralizing strength, turning defeat into victory! This kid from the Cheng family has really been enlightened, I have a whole new level of respect for him! "
Below the stage, Li Er also came back to his senses at this time, looking at Cheng Chumo who was surrounded by people on the stage, and said with a face full of emotion.
After sighing, he turned his head and looked at Li Zexuan, and couldn't help but say:
"You really got it right, brat! Could it be that you already knew that Cheng Chumo could defeat Lin Feng? "
Li Zexuan turned around and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. Before this, Cheng Chumo and Lin Feng had never fought each other. I don't know how to calculate, so how can I know that Chumo will win? There are winners and losers in every competition. I was just lucky and guessed correctly! "
"You're still hiding things from me, kid. Speaking of which, you're from the Celestial Master Path of Mount Longhu. How do I know you don't know how to calculate?"
How could Li Er not hear Li Zexuan's words? He pointed at Li Zexuan and scolded jokingly.
Hearing this, Li Zexuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He thought to himself, 'Although I'm a Taoist priest in this life, a Taoist priest isn't the same as a fraud.' 'Who says that a Taoist priest must know how to predict the future?'
Seeing that Li Zexuan didn't speak, Li Er recalled the situation in the ring and couldn't help but ask: "Just now, Cheng Chumo defeated Lin Feng in the ring with Tai Chi, right?" “
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and replied: "Most of it!"
In fact, strictly speaking, Cheng Chumo was able to defeat Lin Feng not purely by relying on Tai Chi. A large part of the reason was that he had figured out Lin Feng's martial arts when he was being beaten at the beginning. It could also be understood that this guy had an epiphany in the ring. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to counter Lin Feng's fast punches and turn the force invisible!
This was Cheng Chumo's own luck, and it could only be found by chance!
"Tai Chi! This Tai Chi seems to contain the truth of Taoism. It must be the condensation of your master's life's work, but you taught it to the teachers and students of Yanhuang College. How can the head of the Celestial Master Path forgive you? "
Li Er frowned and couldn't help but ask.
He had heard of Tai Chi before and had seen people practice it, but he didn't take the slow punches seriously. Today was his first time witnessing the power of Tai Chi in actual combat. Cheng Chumo's brilliant performance in the ring had completely subverted Li Er's understanding of Tai Chi!
It turned out that Tai Chi wasn't a slow and powerless punching technique. It could be fast or slow, and it could borrow force to fight force. It could turn force invisible, and it could defeat the strong with the weak!
This made Li Er's attitude towards Tai Chi become more serious.
However, he subconsciously thought that this exquisite and peerless fist technique came from Spiritual Master Ling Xu. After all, Li Zexuan was still too young. No one would think that he could create his own martial arts, let alone such an exquisite and peerless martial art!
"Your Majesty thinks too much! Tai Chi isn't the technique of the Celestial Master Path. Moreover, when my master was alive, he often told me that the foundation of martial arts is to strengthen the body. Since ancient times, it was because of the bigoted views of the various sects that countless martial arts in the Central Plains were lost.
Good Kung Fu should be carried forward. Practitioners of Kung Fu are also inheritors of Kung Fu. My master once warned me not to cherish Kung Fu. As long as it's someone with a pure character, I can pass on Kung Fu to him and strengthen his body! In my opinion, the teachers and students of Yanhuang College are all people with a pure character. Therefore, I taught Tai Chi to them before! "
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and spoke without thinking.
His words didn't admit that Tai Chi was created by Spiritual Master Ling Xu, but he also didn't deny it. It was an ambiguous answer. Even if Li Er knew the truth later, he couldn't do anything to him!
Of course, the main meaning of these words was to show Spiritual Master Ling Xu's noble sentiments and broad mind. As for whether Spiritual Master Ling Xu had said these words, presumably no one other than him would know, and there would be no way to investigate!
When Duan Zhixuan heard Li Zexuan's words, his face couldn't help but be filled with respect. Looking at his appearance, he most likely believed Li Zexuan's nonsense!
Li Er frowned again. It wasn't the first day he knew Li Zexuan, so he subconsciously thought that Li Zexuan's words must be mixed with a lot of exaggeration. However, there were some things that he couldn't say without evidence. He could only settle for the next best thing and change the topic.
"But Tai Chi is so powerful, yet you so casually taught it to so many people. Even though most of the teachers and students in Yanhuang College are pure people, no one can guarantee that there are no black sheep among them. If they use the kung fu you taught to do evil everywhere, as their 'master', it will be difficult for you to absolve yourself from the blame!"
It was said that heroes used martial arts to break the rules. After seeing the power of Tai Chi from Cheng Chumo today, Li Er couldn't help but worry about Li Zexuan's move of teaching Tai Chi to all the teachers and students of the Academy. He was worried that these students would become unstable factors that would affect the stability of the Tang Empire after they left the Academy!
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. The main purpose of teaching Tai Chi to the teachers and students of the Academy is to strengthen their bodies, not to make them invincible in martial arts. Besides, even if I wanted to, it's impossible!
I only taught them moves and routines, but Tai Chi focuses on the meaning and not the form. Only people like Chumo who have a unique or deep understanding of Tai Chi can increase their strength because of Tai Chi!
It's rare for one in a thousand people to be able to understand the meaning of Tai Chi! Moreover, these kinds of people were usually not vicious and evil people!
Besides, when the Tang Empire clears the strong enemies around and the country becomes more and more stable, those martial arts masters will have to abide by the law no matter how strong they are. Otherwise, under the pursuit of the Imperial Court, they will die! Heroes using martial arts to break the rules is only for troubled times. Under prosperous times, there has never been such a saying! "
Hearing this, Li Er thought about it seriously and finally nodded and said, "What you said just now is not without reason! I didn't expect you to see it more clearly than I do! "
In fact, Li Zexuan's last sentence, "Heroes using martial arts to break the rules is only for troubled times. Under prosperous times, there has never been such a saying", made him feel the same way. As long as the Tang Empire was strong enough, the people could live and work in peace. Who would have nothing better to do than to rebel?
"Your Majesty praises me too much, I dare not!"
Li Zexuan hurriedly said.
Li Er waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Alright! I won't pursue this matter anymore. You brat, don't pretend to be innocent. Continue to watch the competition. I want to see how far the V Battalion that you took over can go! "
