Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Chen Wenqi personally corrected their postures several times, and their movements showed obvious improvement to the naked eye.

"Practice this method several times first. Once you can perform each movement correctly and precisely, we'll move on to the next stage of learning."

"Brother, look how well I've practiced! Aren't I amazing?" Little Sisi looked up at Chen Wenqi with her chubby little face and asked expectantly.

"Yes, our little Sisi is doing really well, she deserves a good praise!" Chen Wenqi smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, his tone full of approval.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wenqi keenly sensed that someone was walking towards them. He subconsciously turned around and saw two figures, one old and one young, slowly approaching.

He subtly observed the two men, noticing their steady gait and silent landings, clearly indicating they were skilled martial artists.

Looking at the old man again, his demeanor was calm and dignified, his gaze deep and sharp, far beyond that of ordinary people.

Chen Wenqi already had a few guesses in his mind: this was probably some important person, and the person with him should be a bodyguard.

"Young man, the Tai Chi you just performed was truly exquisite. I apologize for disturbing you, but I hope you won't take offense." The old man had a gentle smile on his face and spoke very politely.

"You flatter me, sir. I'm just here with my younger siblings to exercise. It's nothing special," Chen Wenqi replied politely, bowing with his hands clasped in return.

The young man standing next to the old man, however, had an eager look on his face and couldn't help but say, "Young brother, you're so young, yet your skills are so remarkable. Would you be willing to spar with me for a few rounds?"

Chen Wenqi looked at the tall, upright man before him, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "You, a grown man, dare to spar with a minor like me? Wouldn't that be inappropriate if word got out?"

The man was speechless for a moment, his face turning bright red. The old man standing beside him couldn't help but burst into laughter and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Young man, don't take offense. This kid is just a martial arts fanatic. He can't help but get itchy when he sees a master."

The young man scratched his head slightly embarrassedly and hurriedly explained, "Please forgive me, young man. I was just itching to show off. Don't worry, we'll stop here and not go all the way."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenqi pondered for a moment. He himself was also looking for an opportunity to test the current level of actual combat strength.

The young man in front of me had slightly bulging temples and full of energy, clearly indicating that he was at least at the Dark Force level. Moreover, he exuded a murderous aura, suggesting that he was probably a top expert from the military.

After a moment's thought, Chen Wenqi slowly nodded: "Alright, let's spar a few times then. But let's make this clear beforehand: if you get injured during the fight, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Don't worry, young man, if you get hurt, I'll take full responsibility and won't blame you at all!" The young man immediately patted his chest and readily agreed.

When the younger siblings saw that the two were about to have a fight, they immediately stopped practicing their punches and gathered around, their little faces full of curiosity.

Chen Wenqi instructed the two to watch carefully from the side, and then followed the young man to the open space in front.

The young man first clasped his hands in a salute and loudly announced his affiliation: "Xingyi School, Changxu."

Seeing that the other party was so particular about etiquette, Chen Wenqi also returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, saying, "Wudang, Chen Wenqi."

Upon hearing the words "Wudang," both Chang Xu and the old man paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what it meant.

No wonder this young man's Tai Chi routine is so exquisite and unique, so different from the commonly circulated versions; it turns out he comes from the authentic Wudang lineage.

Judging from this, the boy's master must be a reclusive master living in seclusion on Mount Wudang.

Chen Wenqi calmly assumed the starting stance of Tai Chi, his expression composed and unhurried, showing no intention of launching an attack.

Seeing this, Chang Xu smiled faintly and, without further delay, stepped forward and launched the first attack.

He first tentatively threw a punch, and seeing that Chen Wenqi stood still, he secretly wondered: Could it be that this kid has cultivation but lacks practical combat experience?

If that punch had been thrown properly, it would have hit the opponent squarely.

After hesitating for a moment, he threw several more punches, each one aimed but never striking. Yet Chen Wenqi remained as steady as a mountain, unmoved.

Just as Chang Xu was about to ask a question, Chen Wenqi spoke first: "There's no need to test you anymore. Your punches may seem powerful, but you actually held back your strength before the punches landed. Testing you like this is pointless."

"Good heavens!" Chang Xu was shocked to hear this. It turned out that the other party had already seen through his thoughts. His attempt to test him had only made him look foolish.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. How could someone who had cultivated to the level of Dark Force not see through such a little trick? It was just that the boy's age was too deceptive.

"Then you'd better be careful!" Chang Xu said in a deep voice. This time he no longer held back, but he still kept three-tenths of his strength to avoid accidentally hurting his opponent.

He threw a punch with a whistling wind, aiming swiftly at Chen Wenqi's chest. However, Chen Wenqi remained calm and composed, casually shifting his body slightly to the side as if taking a leisurely stroll, and easily dodged the attack.

Chang Xu became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. At first, he thought that even if Chen Wenqi possessed hidden strength, he was still just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and his practical combat experience would certainly be insufficient.

So he only used 30% of his strength at the beginning, but after several moves, he realized that he had greatly underestimated Chen Wenqi's strength. So he gradually increased his strength, from 50%, 70%, until now he has used 100% of his strength.

The punch was thrown with a whooshing sound, as fast as lightning, and its power was extremely terrifying.

However, Chen Wenqi simply sidestepped slightly and used the "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail" move to easily deflect Chang Xu's thunderous attack. He even used the force against Chang Xu, sending him flying.

Chang Xu felt a tremendous force suddenly strike him, and his body was lifted into the air uncontrollably before crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wenzi and her little girl Chen Wensi immediately clapped their hands and cheered, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Chen Wenqi.

The old man standing to the side was even more shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief—with just one move, this young man had knocked down Chang Xu, a top-level imperial guard at the peak of internal strength, to the ground.

Chang Xu gasped, clutching her aching lower back as she slowly stood up. Her gaze toward Chen Wenqi was filled with the same shock and disbelief.
