Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

This infuriated Jia Dongxu, his chest heaving violently. He secretly plotted to slap Qin Huairu a few more times when they returned to the courtyard house, otherwise, that silly boy Zhu wouldn't listen and submit.

In stark contrast to the chaotic and disorderly scenes in the homes of their beastly neighbors, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, Chen Wenqi's family lived a harmonious, warm, and peaceful life.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten and it was still barely dawn, Chen Wenqi got up and took his younger siblings to Jingshan Park to practice martial arts. He never slacked off for a single day.

As soon as Chen Wenqi stepped into the park, he caught sight of a familiar figure, Chang Xu, with whom he had sparred a few days ago. However, this time, the elderly man who had accompanied Chang Xu was not present.

Chang Xu spotted Chen Wenqi, who had brought his younger siblings to the park to practice martial arts, and his eyes lit up instantly. He quickly strode over to greet him, his face beaming with a warm and friendly smile.

"Brother Chen Wenqi, we meet again!" Chang Xu strode forward and greeted him, his tone full of undisguised enthusiasm.

Although this kid is young, only fourteen years old, he is already a true master of internal energy transformation.

Although Chang Xu was defeated by Chen Wenqi in just one move during their last sparring session, he clearly felt that his martial arts bottleneck, which had been stagnant for many years, was showing signs of loosening.

So he came to the park early today, hoping to ask Chen Wenqi for advice on difficult questions about martial arts again.

In Chang Xu's view, although Chen Wenqi was only a fourteen-year-old boy, he possessed extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength, making him worthy of Chang Xu's humble request to learn from him.

It's important to understand that in the martial arts world of decades ago, a Grandmaster of Transformation Force would have been a highly respected and revered figure, just like the world-renowned martial arts masters such as Li Shuwen, Huo Yuanjia, and Sun Lutang. They were all prominent figures, highly respected and admired by the world.

In the past two days, Chang Xu also took the time to investigate Chen Wenqi's specific situation. His old superior showed great importance after learning about Chen Wenqi's deeds and specifically instructed him to handle the matter properly.

After a thorough investigation, they learned that Chen Wenqi's father was indeed a martyr who bravely sacrificed his life for the interests of the country and the people.

Moreover, Chen Wenqi's previous statement about the neighbors attempting to seize the house and bullying the widow and her children in the courtyard was all true. Upon learning of this, the old leader was immediately furious and filled with uncontrollable anger.

The old leader immediately issued instructions, requiring the staff below to pay more attention to the situation of the martyrs' families being bullied, and to further strengthen the protection of the martyrs' families;

Coincidentally, in Jiudaowan Hutong, there was another family with a similar experience. The parents of that family were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, but they were maliciously bullied by their neighbors who tried to exploit them to the point of starvation. They even had their martyrs' pensions forcibly taken away, and the family lived a very difficult and miserable life.

This incident happened right at the height of public outrage. After receiving instructions from higher authorities, the police station in charge of Jiudaowan Hutong immediately dispatched officers to arrest the unscrupulous neighbor who had humiliated the family of a martyr.

They plan to use this case as a model, and it is estimated that he will be paraded through the streets in the next couple of days. After the parade, he will likely be executed by firing squad as a warning to those with ill intentions.

Chen Wenqi glanced at Chang Xu, who was walking briskly towards him, and nodded slightly in response to the other's enthusiasm.

His impression of Chang Xu wasn't bad. Judging from Chang Xu's words, actions, and unique demeanor, he was clearly a soldier. Although Chen Wenqi didn't plan to join the army, he always held soldiers in high esteem.

After all, his father was once a glorious soldier who sacrificed his precious life for the country and the people.

"Brother Chen Wenqi, after sparring with you the other day, I feel that my martial arts skills have improved considerably, and the bottleneck I was previously stuck in has loosened up a bit. I wonder if you could give me some more guidance?"

Chang Xu looked somewhat embarrassed and asked Chen Wenqi in a sincere tone.

"Brother, haven't you ever heard the saying 'The law should not be passed on lightly'?" Chen Wenqi rolled his eyes after hearing Chang Xu's request, responding with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Chang Xu himself was also a martial artist, so he naturally understood the principle that "the method should not be passed on lightly." When Chen Wenqi asked him this question, he immediately felt a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face stiffened a bit.

But he had finally met a master like Chen Wenqi who had become famous at a young age, and he really didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity to improve his martial arts skills. He couldn't help but quickly think of a way to persuade Chen Wenqi to give him some pointers.

"Um... how about I just become your apprentice?"

Chang Xu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.

Although Chen Wenqi is only fourteen years old, he is a true martial arts master.

Being able to become a disciple of such a master is not shameful for him at all; on the contrary, it is an incredible opportunity.

"Well... there's no need for me to become your apprentice."

Chen Wenqi waved his hand, then abruptly changed the subject.

"However, I find you quite agreeable, so I might as well give you a couple of pointers."

"On the condition that you treat us to lunch."

"Really?"

"That's wonderful!"

Chang Xu was overjoyed, completely unexpected that Chen Wenqi would agree so readily.

He immediately patted his chest and solemnly guaranteed it.

"Don't worry, order whatever you want for lunch, it's all on me today!"

My sister has been talking about roast duck for days.

"Let's go to Quanjude for lunch."

Chen Wenqi offered his suggestion with a smile.

"Okay, no problem, Quanjude it is!"

Chang Xu agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.

Although his salary wasn't very high, it was more than enough for him to treat himself to a Peking duck at Quanjude.

"Shall we spar a few more times?"

Chang Xu, still not satisfied, couldn't help but ask another question.

Chen Wenqi gently shook his head and said in an extremely serious tone.

"No rush."

"First, demonstrate your Xingyi Quan from beginning to end, and let me see."

"good!"

Chang Xu agreed without hesitation.

To receive personal guidance from a martial arts master is an opportunity that comes along only once in a lifetime, and he certainly wouldn't miss it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he focused his mind and began to slowly demonstrate each move of the Five Elements Boxing of Xingyi, which he had practiced diligently for many years.

Chop, drill, collapse, cannon, horizontal.

He executed the five forms of the Five Elements Fist with great force, each move displaying solid skill.

In the eyes of an ordinary expert, Chang Xu's Five Elements Fist was already extremely standard, with almost no flaws.

However, in the eyes of Chen Wenqi, a master at the peak of the Transformation Realm, it was still full of loopholes and flaws.

Chen Wenqi watched Chang Xu finish his entire set of punches quietly, then gently shook his head, a hint of regret on his face.

Upon seeing this, Chang Xu quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"How is it?"

"Was there something wrong with the punches I just performed?"

"You were able to reach the peak of internal strength using this training method, which is truly thanks to your outstanding talent."

Chen Wenqi spoke frankly and pointed out the key issue without any hesitation.

"But if you continue to practice like this, you'll never be able to cross the threshold of advanced strength in your lifetime."

"What do you mean?"

Chang Xu looked puzzled and eager to know the reason behind it.

"Watch closely, I'm going to demonstrate the same boxing technique."

"Take a close look and see what the differences are between our playing styles."

Before Chen Wenqi could finish speaking, he also used the same Xingyi Five Elements Fist that Chang Xu had just used.

The methods of Xingyiquan were already recorded in the library, and several different versions were also included.

Moreover, Chen Wenqi has now reached the peak of the Transformation Realm, and he is proficient in all internal martial arts.

Therefore, this set of Five Elements Fist was just a piece of cake for him.

Chang Xu watched Chen Wenqi finish his entire set of punches with unwavering focus, and a strange, indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

Although it was the same set of moves and techniques, Chen Wenqi executed them with incredible naturalness and fluidity.

It was as if every movement was in accordance with some kind of natural law, perfectly natural, without the slightest sense of stagnation.

"Can you see the difference?"

Chen Wenqi stopped and stood still, his gaze falling on Chang Xu, and slowly asked.

"I feel... your boxing technique is much more coordinated and smoother than mine."

"It's as if every move and every stance is perfectly timed."

Chang Xu frowned, trying hard to describe her feelings.

"I can't quite put my finger on the differences in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenqi nodded in satisfaction and spoke with a hint of approval.

"Your comprehension is quite good."

"The reason I feel this way is because I have achieved a level of meticulous control over every single muscle in my body."

"As long as you can fully integrate the hidden energy into your whole body, entering the realm of transforming energy will be a natural outcome."

"You must be a soldier from the military, right?"

"I always maintain a high level of vigilance and my mind is constantly on edge."

Chen Wenqi revealed Chang Xu's past in a single sentence.

"While this state can keep you highly focused, it can also make you neglect the overall coordination of your body."

"Since its inception, the highest goal pursued by internal martial arts has been to harmonize with nature."

"It allows one to gradually enter the profound realm of harmony between man and nature through each move."
