Chapter 79

Second-level Postnatal Martial Artist!

With the internal energy converging into the qi sea, both the meridians and the dantian qi sea had expanded more than twice their original size, and the internal energy had become three to four times stronger than before. Chen Dasheng could clearly feel that he had broken through, advancing to the realm of a second-level Postnatal Martial Artist.

In just one month, he had broken through one level after another, transforming from an ordinary person into a second-level Postnatal Martial Artist. The cultivation he had achieved in one month surpassed what others had gained through a lifetime of hard practice. If this news spread in the Chinese martial arts world, it would undoubtedly cause a huge storm.

Clasping his fists, they crackled with the surge of power, but it was hard to estimate just how strong he had become. Looking down, he noticed his body had grown again, the giant form now standing over thirty feet tall, like a small mountain. Chen Dasheng couldn't help but be amazed; at this rate, how could he possibly control it?

With a thought, his form rapidly shrank, instantly shedding the giant form and returning to his normal size. The internal energy was abundant, and his blood and qi surged, as if he had taken a stimulant. Chen Dasheng felt an excess of energy, truly wishing to find someone to fight right away.

Compressing from a thirty-foot giant to his normal size, the internal energy could only be described as vast. Chen Dasheng had to perform two rounds of Tai Chi to calm the surging internal energy.

Finding some clothes, he took out his phone and checked the time. Unbeknownst to him, it was already past seven in the morning, and the outside world had already brightened.

"Indeed, when you immerse yourself in cultivation, time flies by in a blink!" Chen Dasheng sighed and directly flashed out of the Qiankun Bracelet.

Outside, it was indeed already daylight. Chen Dasheng was covered in sweat and quickly ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Hmm..."

"Heya..."

After the shower, Chen Dasheng heard Liu Yunshi's voice coming from the balcony. The sound was like someone struggling to defecate or lifting a heavy object, a sound of extreme effort.

"So early, this girl is already up?"

With a hint of curiosity, Chen Dasheng walked into the living room and looked out onto the balcony. To his surprise, he found Liu Yunshi practicing boxing on the balcony.

Needle at the Bottom of the Sea, Flashing Back, Turning and Blocking Punch, Closing and Sealing.

In a T-shirt and shorts, her hair fluttering, she formed a beautiful scene on the morning balcony. Each move, though seemingly strenuous, was performed with a semblance of form. Chen Dasheng realized it was his own Tai Chi.

"Is this girl stealing my techniques?"

Chen Dasheng frowned, standing at the edge of the balcony without immediately calling out to her, as being disturbed during practice could easily lead to injury.

Only after Liu Yunshi finished her strenuous routine did Chen Dasheng walk over. "Girl, what are you doing?"

"Ah!"

Liu Yunshi, hearing the voice, turned to see Chen Dasheng standing behind her, and was startled. After a long moment, she said, "What are you doing, scaring me like that?"

"I'm asking you, were you just secretly learning my boxing techniques?" Chen Dasheng asked with a serious face.

Seeing Chen Dasheng's stern expression, Liu Yunshi swallowed hard and weakly replied, "What? I can't? Can't others learn your boxing techniques?"

Chen Dasheng stared intently at Liu Yunshi, took a deep breath, and seemed to be suppressing his frustration. After a while, he sternly scolded, "Do you know how dangerous that is?"

"Seeing how skilled you are, I wanted to learn. But you wouldn't teach me, so I had to practice secretly!" Liu Yunshi had never seen Chen Dasheng so angry before. Realizing she might have caused trouble, she immediately put on a pitiful act.

Seeing her pitiful expression, Chen Dasheng felt helpless and tried to soften his tone. "Tai Chi is an internal martial art. Without guidance, practicing alone can lead to serious injury. If you become disabled, what will you do with the rest of your life?"

"It can't be that serious, right?" Liu Yunshi's face, covered in sweat, immediately showed fear. Disabled? Just from practicing boxing?

"Do you think so? Internal martial arts are not like ordinary techniques. A slight mistake can damage your organs, and in severe cases, lead to paralysis or even death. Don't you watch TV dramas? It's just like going into a trance!" Chen Dasheng put on a serious face, though he was exaggerating to scare Liu Yunshi.

He didn't know if it was that terrifying, but practicing internal martial arts without guidance was definitely harmful, and Chen Dasheng was certain of this.

"Really? After practicing, I felt so sore all over. Am I going to be disabled?" Liu Yunshi was clearly scared, her face showing anxiety as she grabbed Chen Dasheng, her voice trembling, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"How was I supposed to know you were secretly practicing?" Chen Dasheng was speechless. Seeing Liu Yunshi clinging to him, looking like she was about to cry, he quickly reassured her, "Alright, let me check you out!"

Liu Yunshi immediately calmed down. Chen Dasheng took her hand and pretended to take her pulse. "Nothing serious, just normal physical exhaustion!"

"Really?" Liu Yunshi's eyes still showed a hint of worry.

Chen Dasheng nodded solemnly, though he was actually a bit surprised. This girl had secretly learned his Tai Chi, and though not perfect, she could complete a full routine. Her physical condition had improved significantly.

Liu Yunshi patted her chest, still shaken, and glared at Chen Dasheng. "It's all your fault for not teaching me, making me practice blindly. If I become disabled, will you take care of me for the rest of my life?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Liu Yunshi realized they were inappropriate, and her face turned red.

Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes at Liu Yunshi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't practice blindly anymore. If you really want to learn, I can teach you."

"Really?" Liu Yunshi's eyes lit up.

Chen Dasheng nodded solemnly. He had already made this decision. This girl had achieved such results from practicing blindly, showing she had talent in this area. The Tai Chi he had learned was derived from public Tai Chi, and there was no harm in passing it on to Liu Yunshi. Girls should learn some martial arts for self-defense.

"But you have to agree to a few conditions!" Chen Dasheng said.

"What?" Liu Yunshi's joyful expression faltered at the mention of conditions.

Chen Dasheng said, "First, you must not tell anyone else about me teaching you martial arts."

Liu Yunshi nodded without hesitation; this condition was easy to meet.

"Second, after learning martial arts, you must not show them to others unless absolutely necessary. You must not bully others, especially not use the skills I teach you against me." This girl was a tough one, and when she got angry, she would bite anyone, which Chen Dasheng found a bit intimidating.

Liu Yunshi gave Chen Dasheng a glare and then said eagerly, "Is that all? I can do that. Teach me quickly!"

"For now, that's it. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know." Chen Dasheng sighed. "Watch me do it once, then follow me."

"Okay!"

Liu Yunshi nodded eagerly, her face full of excitement. She had initially thought Chen Dasheng would make some unreasonable demands, but it turned out to be so easy.

Chen Dasheng walked to the center of the balcony, kicked Hu Bugui to the side, and began practicing Tai Chi.

Each move was natural and fluid, even affecting the air around him, causing the plants on the balcony to sway. Liu Yunshi watched in amazement; this Tai Chi was far superior to her blind practice.

After completing the routine, Chen Dasheng was only slightly warmed up. With his current strength, the effects of practicing once were much weaker.

Turning to the stunned Liu Yunshi, Chen Dasheng said, "Did you see clearly? Now you try, and I'll correct any mistakes."
