186: Chapter 184: I Want to Become Your Disciple 186: Chapter 184: I Want to Become Your Disciple “If you insist on taking it that way, there’s nothing I can do.” Tangyu said with a light smile.
The beauty was slightly taken aback and a touch of indignation appeared on her face, “Hmph, you jerk, you did it on purpose.
Let go of me, you pervert.
Ah, do not let go, I was wrong, handsome hero, please let this young lady go.
I was just kidding with you, I have seen you meditating here from a long time ago, and just now doing Tai Chi there, but the way you do it is so strange.
I haven’t seen such moves before, so I wanted to test how powerful you really are.
Help me up, I know I was wrong, can’t an apology do?”
“Is that really all?” Tangyu said to the beauty, seeing through her slightly sly gaze, feeling certain that this little beauty wouldn’t give up so easily and was rather clever and spirited.
But with just these tricks she still wants to trick me?
I don’t mind playing along with her.
“Mmm, of course, why else would I have any problems with you?
We’re both martial artists, having a little spar is perfectly normal,” said the beauty.
“I see, alright then.” Tangyu said and helped the beauty up.
Right as she stood up straight she quickly adjusted her clothes, yet suddenly she threw a sweeping kick at Tangyu, very swift and powerful.
Tangyu smiled lightly, his smiling arch deepened as he easily anticipated the move.
When her leg swept towards him, Tangyu lightly leaped up, avoiding her sweeping kick.
Upon landing, Tangyu lightly hooked his foot out, catching her leg perfectly.
Her kick having missed, all her force went into her leg, and with Tangyu’s hook, her leg was flung up.
Consequently, her body once again lost its center of gravity and leaped into the air.
“Aah!” Another sharp scream escaped from the beauty, her face showing fright once more.
Seeing this, Tangyu quickly stepped forward, wrapping his arm around the beauty’s shoulder while bending slightly, forcing her into an odd shape as her body pressed towards the ground.
Her right leg was raised high, her left leg planted on the grass, her body leveled to meet her left knee at a ninety-degree angle.
At this juncture, her head was only thirty to forty centimeters above the ground.
The posture of the two was somewhat romantic and ambiguous to onlookers.
Looking at the beauty’s slightly panicked face, which appeared beautiful but also pitiful and somewhat moving.
“You choose not the best methods, and are quite elaborate in your sneak attacks,” Tangyu told the beauty.
The beauty glared at Tangyu again, understanding after another setback that she might not be a match for this man, and had no choice but to back down again, “Why did you have to take advantage of me just now?
Look, you’re taking advantage again.
However, you really are quite powerful.
Both my sneak attacks were so easily countered by you.”
Tangyu curled his lip and said, “Does that prove I’m great?
Why wouldn’t you think it’s just that you’re too weak?”
“Hah, I’m not weak at all.
I’ve been a great martial artist, you know, I’ve been training in martial arts since I was young.
I’ve learned Tai Chi, Judo, Wing Chun, Military Fist, Five Elements Fist, and also Taekwondo.
In school, I was a top-tier fighter, my proudest victory was when I knocked down eight thugs by myself.
So, it’s not that I’m weak, it’s just that you’re really powerful.
I feel like you’re even stronger than my grandfather and my brother.
Strange, how come I’ve never seen you around before?” the beauty asked.
Tangyu gave a faint smile, realizing that the beauty hailed from a martial arts lineage.
Although it was only two brief exchanges, Tangyu could tell that the foundation of this beauty was indeed solid.
It’s rare for a girl to possess such skills indicating she was a promising martial arts disciple.
“I just moved here a few days ago.
Now stop trying to sneak attack me; otherwise, don’t blame me if I really hurt you,” Tangyu said.
“Mmm, I won’t, I was just joking with you.
Why so serious?
Besides, you’re a big guy, have more patience, I didn’t really hurt you,” the beauty quickly nodded, showing no more mischief this time.
Tangyu helped her up, but the beauty did not leave.
Instead, her gaze measured Tangyu, as if studying him.
“So, handsome, what kind of Tai Chi were you practicing?
There are indeed various forms of Tai Chi nowadays, mainly Chen-style, with basically the same moves and routines, albeit slightly different in form.
But the Tai Chi you performed earlier felt so foreign and refreshing to me, unlike any routine I’ve seen and the forms felt quite unique and novel.
I always feel like your Tai Chi contains a most formidable artistic conception,” the beauty curiously asked.
Tangyu shook his head with a light laugh, the Tai Chi that is widely practiced today isn’t really the purest form of Tai Chi, it evolved from the true Tai Chi.
Tai Chi in essence has no shape or form but is an artistic conception.
From Tai Chi comes the Yin Yang, and from Yin Yang comes the Four Phases.
Tai Chi contains both Yang Yin, from Extreme Yin comes Yang, from Extreme Yang comes Yin, in harmony.
This conception gradually evolved into the various routines that are widely practiced as Tai Chi.
However, those routines can only express limited profound meanings because they are suitable for ordinary people to cultivate.
The true profound Tai Chi that evolves into profound meanings isn’t something most people can cultivate.
The Tai Chi Tangyu was demonstrating is exactly this kind of Tai Chi that can evolve profound meanings.
Every move and stance can bring forth profound meanings of Tai Chi, reaching a terrifying level of power.
This Tai Chi and those Tai Chis are fundamentally different.
A real master could feel an incredible sensation upon seeing it.
Just like this beauty in front of us, she has an indescribable charm, which aroused her curiosity in Tangyu and led her to boldly attack him.
“This is a Tai Chi passed down in my family, I can’t explain the specifics myself.
There are many styles of Tai Chi, it’s not unusual to be different,” Tangyu said casually.
The beauty wasn’t so easy to deceive.
She shook her head and said, “No, no, your version of Tai Chi feels even more profound than Chen-style Tai Chi.
Every movement seems infinitely variable and contains endless profound meanings, as if harnessing the force of nature.
“With each move, there’s boundless subtlety and absolute perfection.
Your Tai Chi must be something special.
Handsome hero, just tell me, don’t you know how curious women can be?
If you don’t tell me, I’ll keep pestering you.”
Tangyu was somewhat surprised that this beauty could perceive so much, showing that her talent in this respect was indeed impressive.
“If you insist on pestering me, I can’t help it.
All I know is that this is also a family legacy, as for any unique aspects, I really wouldn’t know.
As for the Chen-style Tai Chi you mentioned, I have not come across it.
If you insist on pestering me, I really wouldn’t mind.
“Having a beautiful woman like you sticking by my side, I could not be happier.
I believe my friends would definitely say you’ve crazily fallen in love with me and won’t leave me alone.
With such a beauty pestering me, I think our turning heads rate will be quite impressive wherever we go.
Are you sure you really want to keep pestering me?” Tangyu said with a smile.
“Uh…”
The beauty was also stunned, realizing that aimless pestering might only trouble herself, which seemed too disadvantageous.
But she couldn’t bear to let go of this opportunity, as her curiosity was intensely strong.
Suddenly, an idea struck the beauty.
She quickly went to face Tangyu and said, “I want to take you as my master.
Quickly accept me as your disciple.
I want to learn Tai Chi from you.”
Tangyu blinked, the beauty really was relentless, still wanting to take him as her master.
This put him in a bit of a bind.
From his heart, he genuinely wanted to accept this beautiful, smart, and somewhat mischievously adorable woman as his disciple.
It just didn’t seem right to refuse a beautiful woman who wanted to become his disciple, right?
But — he had just left his master, and taking a disciple so soon, without his master’s consent, might be a bit too much?
Such a dilemma.
“Hey, handsome, you have to hesitate over this?
I’m a great beauty, smart and charming, and especially talented in martial arts.
Where else would you find such an outstanding disciple like me, who’s even offering herself to be your disciple?
You won’t refuse, right?” The beauty saw Tangyu’s hesitation and felt somewhat hurt.
“Um, well, I really have to think about this.
I can’t just agree to take you as my disciple because I need to report to my master first and get his thoughts on it,” Tangyu said.
“I — why do you need to consult your master about taking your disciples?
I don’t care, just tell me whether you are willing to accept me as your disciple.
If you refuse — then I — I’ll never let you off the hook.
Anger me, and I could do anything, believe me, I dare to accuse you of harassment,” the beauty said with a snort, showing a somewhat domineering demeanor.
This beauty indeed had a bit of a wilful and fiery temper, which made her quite unique.
“Uh…” Tangyu was at a loss for words, even accusing him of harassment — this beauty really could stretch the truth.
The old saying was right: better offend a villain than a woman, and if that woman is a great beauty, you really must not provoke her, compliance is the wisest course.
From her determined gaze, Tangyu could tell she was not just bluffing.
If he didn’t agree today, the situation might really turn unpleasant.
“How about I initially take you as a nominal disciple, and once I’ve reported to my master, I can then formally accept you, would that work?” Tangyu offered.
“No way, I don’t want to be just nominal.
I want to be a formal disciple, just agree with me now.
Otherwise, I will cry, make a fuss, and threaten suicide; I will run to your house shouting harassment every day until you can’t have a day’s peace,” the beauty said resolutely.
Tangyu was truly taken aback by this beauty, clenched his teeth, and decided he had to accept her behind his master’s back.
This kind of woman really couldn’t be provoked.
“Fine, I will take you as my disciple, I’m scared of you now,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, that’s more like it, you should have agreed earlier.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, yet you hesitated, others would have jumped at it.
Um, master above, here, your disciple offers her respects.
Let’s skip the kneeling, I believe you are not one to sweat the small stuff,” the beauty finally said with a smile.
Tangyu shook his head: “I’m truly defeated by you, did I have some bad karma with you in a past life?”
“How could that be, master?
I think you have cultivated good karma for eight lifetimes, otherwise, how could you have accepted such a smart and beautiful disciple like me?
You should feel happy,” the beauty blinked and said.
