Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

Moreover, she had already sensed from the brief exchange that Yan Qing's internal energy was extremely pure. She was two realms higher than him, yet she almost suffered a fatal blow.

This was unbelievable to her, and she was also amazed that Yan Qing's internal energy was so powerful, far surpassing anyone she had ever met.

"Mr. Yan, I apologize for what happened yesterday. I was short-sighted and failed to recognize your great talent."

Although she was amazed by the sheer power of Yan Qing's Ming Jin, which she had never seen before, Gong Ruomei made no excuses and immediately apologized sincerely after the fight.

This is Gong Ruomei's pride and magnanimity; she was able to accept Yan Qing's excellence immediately and apologize for her initial disrespect.

"Mr. Gong, you're too kind. I'm no match for you even in a single move."

Yan Qing shook his slightly numb arm, feeling the change in the other party's strength the moment they made contact, and said nonchalantly.

Gong Ruomei marveled at the strength of his Ming Jin (manifested strength), while he was impressed by the strength of the opponent's Hua Jin (transformation strength). He never intended to be invincible in Ming Jin, but instead aimed directly at Gong Ruomei.

"..."

Yan Qing's answer left Gong Ruomei speechless. She hadn't expected that Yan Qing had targeted her directly from the very beginning.

"That's right. To have mastered Ming Jin to such a level and to attempt to practice four top-tier techniques simultaneously, he should have this mindset and deserves it."

However, in just a moment, she accepted Yan Qing's idea of ​​making her his target. After all, if one's vision is short-sighted, it is impossible to lay the foundation for invincibility.

"In that case, I will now teach you Baguazhang."

Gong Ruomei suppressed her thoughts and stopped mentioning the test, instead preparing to get down to business.

However, when she looked at Yan Qing, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

At this point, Yan Qing's image in her mind had undergone a complete transformation.

When they first met yesterday, she thought he was a playboy whose body had been ruined by wine and women, but now she regards Yan Qing as her equal.

She even admired Yan Qing's courage, after all... she knew the difficulty of practicing the three true teachings at the same time, but she never thought of trying it.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Yan Qing smiled. After half a year, he was finally going to formally start cultivating his internal strength. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

As the two talked, Wanxing and Lanyue, who had been waiting on the side, began to walk out of the courtyard. Even Jiang Shi, who had been standing behind Gong Ruomei, silently withdrew from the courtyard and stood guard at the gate.

"Mr. Yan, do you know anything about Baguazhang?"

In the courtyard, after everyone had left, Gong Ruomei spoke first.

"I'm not used to you calling me 'sir'. You should be older than me, so just call me by my name, Yan Qing. I don't know much about Baguazhang, and I've deliberately avoided trying it."

"Well... you can call me by my name, or you can call me Ruomei. Since Yan... Yan Qing, you don't know much about Baguazhang, I'll start by demonstrating the basics."

Gong Ruomei's impression of Yan Qing had completely changed, and she now considered him to be on the same level as herself, so she became much more casual.

She could understand why Yan Qing didn't learn about Baguazhang, as this was to ensure the authenticity of Bajiquan at the Mingjin stage.

"Baguazhang is composed of four main parts: palm, footwork, body, and weapons. Its essence lies in the cultivation of both internal and external strengths, and the combination of movement and stillness. We'll put weapons aside for now and start with palm, footwork, and body..."

As she spoke, Gong Ruomei began to demonstrate the most basic Baguazhang in front of Yan Qing, while explaining it to him.

"The basic palm techniques of Baguazhang are the eight mother palms. In terms of technique, it emphasizes pushing, supporting, leading, guiding, moving, hooking, chopping, and advancing. In actual combat, it emphasizes 'using the palm as the method and movement as the application,' integrating kicking, striking, throwing, and grappling into one..."

"The basic footwork consists of the 'mud-walking step' and the 'swinging step' that involve walking in circles, requiring the movement to be fluid and steady while seeking change..."

"The movement requires twisting, wrapping, drilling, and flipping..."

As she spoke, Gong Ruomei had already demonstrated Baguazhang once, and explained its palm techniques, footwork, and body movements in detail.

Yan Qing listened intently, taking in every word the other person said.

"Yan Qing, why don't you give it a try?"

After Gong Ruomei demonstrated the Baguazhang technique once, she signaled Yan Qing to go down and demonstrate it once.

"good!"

Yan Qing nodded in agreement without hesitation and then began practicing Baguazhang.

Although he had only watched Gong Ruomei demonstrate once, Yan Qing showed no signs of awkwardness when he tried it himself.

Yan Qing, who was practicing Baguazhang, no longer had his usual lack of energy and spirit, nor the fierce power of Bajiquan. Instead, he became extremely smooth, and even his aura became three parts softer.

Baguazhang is not only highly practical, but also extremely entertaining. Although Yan Qing's performance lacked Gong Ruomei's ethereal quality, it was still quite graceful and natural.

Gong Ruomei was not surprised that Yan Qing could learn it after watching it only once. After all, Yan Qing already had a foundation in martial arts, and he was the kind of genius who could cultivate Xingyi Quan to the true meaning and Bajiquan to the ultimate level of Ming Jin. It was not surprising that he had this ability.

"Hmm, it seems you've mastered the basic routines of Baguazhang. Now, I'll begin teaching you the true essence of Baguazhang."

However, Gong Ruomei did not teach Yan Qing the practice and fighting methods of Baguazhang, but instead jumped directly to the true teachings.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing immediately perked up.

Boxing techniques are divided into routines, training methods, and fighting methods.

There are many different routines and fighting styles vary from person to person, but the training methods include breathing techniques and mantras.

Ordinary people practice boxing by first practicing stance training to develop strength, then practicing routines to develop visible strength, then practicing techniques to develop power, and finally practicing fighting techniques to develop neutralizing power.

Martial arts masters in this world usually don't just practice one style of martial arts. Take Chief Steward Cao as an example. He mainly practices Xingyi Quan, and he also practices Mantis Boxing. In fact, he is quite proficient in Bagua Zhang and Tai Chi.

However, only Xingyiquan is the true transmission; the others are just routines and fighting techniques learned.

Whether a technique is truly passed down or not depends on the training method. The breathing techniques and mantras of a true master are often the core of a skill and the most crucial part for cultivating pure internal strength.

This part often has extremely strict requirements in terms of inheritance, such as passing it down to men but not women, or only to the sect leader.

However, Gong Ruomei has now started teaching directly without making any demands.

"The true essence of Baguazhang lies in the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Hands, which are derived from the eight mother hands of Baguazhang. Each hand has eight variations, totaling sixty-four hands..."

"And these sixty-four palm techniques contain sixty-four breathing variations and sixty-four incantations..."

"Now I will explain it to you one by one, so please watch carefully..."
