All-rounder Artist-Chapter 1046 - 960 Fun Travelogue

The people of the Yu Dynasty looked worriedly at Lin Yuan.

Under the camera.

Lin Yuan stood with his feet together, all joints and muscles relaxed, breathing naturally.

This was an extremely peaceful state.

Suddenly.

Lin Yuan moved.

His feet stepped half a step to the left, shoulder-width apart, and his arms slowly raised forward to shoulder level.

The elbows were slightly bent, giving the impression of being neither fully bent nor straight, palms facing down, legs slightly crouched in a horse stance, upper body straight, eyes forward…

The beginning of Tai Chi!

The people of the Yu Dynasty exchanged glances.

They didn’t understand, merely thought the movement looked good and rather intimidating.

They were, after all, laymen just watching for fun.

Those in the know observed the technique.

Taoist priest Songbai and a few Taoist priests around him exchanged looks, their expressions seemingly surprised.

The nearby experts were also momentarily stunned.

The first movement was very professional.

It aligned perfectly with the principles of biomechanics.

However, it was just the beginning, so no one spoke.

…

Lin Yuan was completely focused.

When he truly began to perform Tai Chi, he felt as if all the movements were deeply ingrained in his mind.

Second form.

Third form.

Fourth form.

Lin Yuan’s every movement, its essence, and purpose, were crystal clear in his mind. Although he continued to move, his mind stayed calm and his breathing was naturally steady and comfortable.

Ward Off.

Rollback.

Press.

Push.

Pluck.

Split.

Elbow.

Lean.

Gentle and slow.

Seamless and coordinated.

Clear distinction between void and solidity.

Integration of hardness and softness.

The requirements of Tai Chi movements were to neither float nor be stiff, externally soft and internally hard, with complete emission of power, elastic, not using brute force but rather leveraging energy, emphasizing the clever use of skill.

Unconsciously.

Lin Yuan had performed many moves in succession.

Sometimes his palms moved forward, parting to draw circles before sitting back;

sometimes shifting his weight forward to his right foot in a bow stance, palms thrusting forward, elbows close to the ribs;

then in a blink, he shifted his weight to the left leg in a left bow stance, right palm turning upward;

between breaths, he again shifted his weight to the right leg, bending his knees to squat.

Like “White Crane Spreads Its Wings.”

Like “Part the Wild Horse’s Mane.”

“Twin Peaks Through the Ears, Like Sealing and Closing.”

All of Lin Yuan’s movements were so smooth and harmonious, pleasing to the eye.

…

People of the Yu Dynasty.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Chen Zhiyu murmured, “Why does it look so good?”

Sun Yaohuo’s eyes gleamed, “Do you remember the descriptions of Tai Chi in ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer’? I feel like the junior’s movements completely match the Tai Chi described in the novel. Could it be that Tai Chi, this martial skill, wasn’t just fabricated by the author Chu Kuang?”

Jian Yi was shocked, “How is that possible?”

Xia Fan whispered, “Why not?”

Jiang Kui seemed thoughtful, “It represents true Tai Chi!”

Wei Haoyun muttered, “Although the movements aren’t fast, they have a leisurely feel, yet there is an inexplicable beauty to them. Could this really be the Tai Chi Chuan described in the novels?”

“It looks… so cool!”

Zhao Ying Ge’s eyes turned heart-shaped, completely love-struck, unable to resist the charm of Tai Chi!

Laypeople still didn’t understand.

However, even laypeople watching Tai Chi could feel a sense of “unexplainable awesomeness,” because the movements were indeed visually appealing!

These movements fit perfectly with everyone’s concept of the beauty of martial arts!

…

Wudang View.

The Taoist priests widened their eyes!

Taoist priest Songbai’s eyes suddenly sparkled!

A Taoist priest next to Taoist priest Songbai said, “Senior brother, why do I feel goosebumps? This martial skill seems very close to some of the martial concepts in Taoism, yet it’s unlike any martial arts passed down in our Taoism!”

“Of course!”

Taoist priest Songbai’s voice trembled slightly, “Tai Chi was originally a concept proposed by Taoism. The Tai Chi Diagram has been passed down for so many years, yet no one had thought that a martial art could be created around the concept of Tai Chi!”

Taoism has existed since the spring and autumn periods.

In the world’s known classics, “The Book of Changes” includes the concept of Tai Chi.

Additionally, works like Zhuangzi also introduce Tai Chi.

This is a philosophy that has been passed down from ancient times.

Now it had been turned into a martial art by Chu Kuang.

Today, Admirable Fish personally demonstrated it at Mount Wudang!

Most of the elders at Wudang View had practiced martial arts from a young age.

They weren’t the reclusive experts described in novels, nor did they mythologize traditional martial arts.

But this didn’t prevent them from recognizing the powerful aspects of Tai Chi!

“Neutralizing force!”

“Borrowing force!”

“Emitting force!”

This was a very health-enhancing practice.

Its practical effectiveness wasn’t clear, but it was definitely professional!

Since it had health benefits and conformed to real combat principles, it wasn’t just Admirable Fish trying to attract attention with fabrications!

Suddenly.

Taoist priest Songbai suddenly felt as if he had found a treasure!

…

Expert group.

The experts were shocked!

If the people of Wudang View included practiced martial artists.

Then the expert group was almost entirely made up of people who had studied martial arts and even movement for half a lifetime!

They could even appreciate the subtleties of Tai Chi better than the Taoist priests of Wudang View!
