Yiwu City.

Under the old locust tree in the courtyard, Xia Chuan, dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and loose gray trousers, stood with a calm and serene expression.

He moved.

The attack was extremely slow, yet the force of the palm strike stirred up a fallen leaf on the ground.

The punch was as powerful as pushing a mountain, seemingly slow, yet the fallen leaves were lifted up by an invisible force, swirling around the body without falling.

As she turned, the hem of her dress fluttered slightly, and her toes touched the ground. The dew that had accumulated overnight in the cracks of the bluestone slabs was shaken into a fine mist, drawing a delicate rainbow in the morning light.

The moment he finished his stance, he slightly spread his five fingers and gently clenched them towards the void.

The falling leaves, which were fluttering in the air, suddenly froze for a moment, as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button, before falling down again, forming a neat circle at his feet.

There was no sound, no movement, but there was something indescribable lingering in the air, like the lingering resonance of a taut string after vibration.

That is "momentum".

When martial arts are practiced to the extreme, the invisible line between man and heaven and earth is gently touched by him.

Of course, this is from a boastful perspective. Xia Chuan's martial arts skills, which have reached the limits of human ability, were all obtained through his "hard work" and have nothing to do with the system.

System: The host has no shame, what should we do?

(No cultivation of immortality, no superpowers, no high-level martial arts)

Holy crap!

Suddenly, a gasp rang out behind Xia Chuan, interrupting his actions.

Deng Chao's eyes widened as he stared intently at Xia Chuan, who had turned around. His throat bobbed as he asked, "Chuan, Chuanzi, was that internal martial arts energy from the Condor Trilogy?!"

He had just seen leaves swirling around Xia Chuan, then forming a circle that stopped at his feet.

Xia Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Chao to be reading the Condor Trilogy?"

Deng Chao nodded: "Of course, the Condor Trilogy is arguably the pinnacle of wuxia novels. But what was that all about?! Could it really be... the legendary internal energy?!"

He suddenly became excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Xia Chuan like a wolf seeing a sheep, which startled the latter.

Xia Chuan quickly explained, "Brother Chao, all that talk about internal energy in martial arts novels is fake. I just happened to freeze the leaves because of the magnetic field around me. There really is no such thing as internal energy."

"Huh? What are you saying?"

At this moment, Chen He, Lu Han, Xia Nian, and Tian Yu were also drawn out by the two's conversation and looked at them curiously.

Upon seeing everyone, Deng Chao immediately recounted the miraculous scene he had witnessed.

Chen He and Lu Han stared wide-eyed, clearly incredulous. Tian Yu remained skeptical, but Xia Nian shook her head and said, "Uncle Deng, Dad likes to practice martial arts when he's at home. It's a very normal thing. Dad said it's because of the magnetic field. You have to believe in science."

After saying that, she looked at Deng Chao and shook her head and sighed, as if to say, "You are already an adult, why are you still so troublesome?"

This scene made Chen He and the other two laugh.

Xia Chuan patted Deng Chao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chao, I really don't have any internal energy, let alone any cultivation techniques. But you can try practicing my Rising Sun Technique. It's very beneficial for your health, especially for those with problems in certain areas..."

"The Ascending Yang Technique? Is that the question I've been thinking about?!" Chen He suddenly rushed to Xia Chuan's side, his small eyes widening like bull's eyes, and his hands tightly gripping Xia Chuan's arms.

Deng Chao and Tian Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the thoughts in each other's eyes, and then looked at Xia Chuan together.

Seeing this, Lu Han scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm also very interested in martial arts."

Xia Nian shook her head; the young girl didn't understand what the others meant.

Natsukawa grinned at the intense gazes of the group, "That's right, but... Brother Chao, are you guys not up to the task?"

After saying that, he swept his eyes across the four men's lower bodies with a malicious look, which made the four men smirk involuntarily.

"Well, actually, I've been interested in martial arts since I was a child." Wang Zhengyu also came over at some point, rubbing his hands together with an awkward smile on his face.

Deng Chao shook his head, blinked, and said seriously, "You're overthinking it, Chuanzi. Your brother Chao is in excellent health. It's just that I have a cousin who isn't in good health and has been asking me to inquire about any folk remedies. Of course, he's also in very good health..."

Xia Chuan remained silent, only smiling, and then looked at Chen He.

Seeing this, Chen He's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Actually, I was asking for Zhu Zhen! He's incredibly weak."

Zhu Zhen: Slander! He's slandering me!

"Oh? Is that so?" Xia Chuan looked at Chen He with a half-smile. Chen He felt a little guilty, but still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Of course, I'm a genius! Geniuses aren't just good-looking, they're physically strong too!"

Xia Chuan nodded noncommittally, then looked at Tian Yu, who seemed a little embarrassed, and teased, "Brother Yu, just for your kindness, I'll teach you how to practice."

Tian Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Chuanzi."

Then he looked at Old Wang and shook his head, saying, "Old Wang, you're obviously just pretending. You don't need to argue. I also know a little about the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation."

"One glance is enough to tell you're deficient in both Yin and Yang!"

"However, as long as you practice with me, you can still recover."

Upon hearing that he could recover, Old Wang chuckled and said, "Chuanzi is a kind person. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to 'drain' your money in the future!"

Deng Chao said discontentedly, "Old Wang, this is pure ingratitude!"

Chen He chimed in, "Chuanzi, I think we shouldn't teach Lao Wang anymore. It's better to let them both stay in the fold."

Xia Chuan nodded in agreement, ignoring Wang Zhengyu who was on the verge of tears, and looked at Lu Han, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Little Lu, we're the same age, in the prime of our lives, how come you're... tsk tsk."

Lu Han rubbed his hands awkwardly, ignoring the teasing looks from the others, and pretended to cough, saying, "Well, I can hold a plank for at least ten minutes. Of course, the main reason is that I have a movie to shoot later, and I need to know some martial arts. It just so happens."

Xia Chuan chuckled, looked at the group of guys, and said with a smile, "Alright, whether you're herding one duck or a flock, it's all the same, so let's go for it."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Nian, who was fiddling with something not far away, and called out, "Niannian, come over here and demonstrate for Uncle Deng and the others."

Upon hearing this, Xia Nian immediately ran over.

Deng Chao and the others were somewhat skeptical, but when Xia Nian's face turned serious and her demeanor changed instantly, they knew that Xia Nian, this little devil, really could do it.

So, everyone started practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

"Brothers, get up...wait, is this group martial arts practice?"
