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

His words were partly to demonstrate his diligence, and partly to explain why he had suddenly lost weight.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Fengqi with anticipation, hoping for praise and compliments, and even fantasizing that Yan Fengqi would transfer the Yan family warriors from Yan Qing to him.

In fact, Yan Fengqi had already received a report from his servants when he drove back and went directly to Yan Qing's courtyard.

He had been waiting here all along, just to tell his father the good news as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Yan Fengqi's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

The expected performance and encouragement did not materialize, let alone any power.

"Hmm, not bad!"

The only response he received was a nod from Yan Fengqi and a casual "not bad." Even as he spoke, the smile on Yan Fengqi's face faded considerably.

"Forehead……"

Yan Fengqi's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Yan Xuan. For a moment, he was stunned and didn't know how to continue.

"I have important matters to attend to. You stay home and focus on your martial arts training."

Yan Fengqi gently patted Yan Xuan's shoulder, then turned around, got into the car, and left.

Yan Xuan's performance this time can be said to have disappointed Yan Fengqi.

When he led his troops out last time, he gave Yan Xuan military power in the intention of delegating authority. As long as Yan Xuan performed well, Yan Fengqi did not recommend giving him more power. However, Yan Xuan's performance disappointed him.

Especially compared to his two brothers, the second son appears particularly mediocre.

Whether it's courage, leadership skills, wisdom, or even martial arts talent, he seems so mediocre now.

"Perhaps... I should let Qing'er go out and gain experience and take charge. Tianjin is a very good place."

As for Xuan'er... well, let him be mediocre.

Yan Fengqi thought to himself as he boarded the car.

He was already content with having one successful son, and it was good enough to have another son by his side.

But while he thought that way, Yan Xuan did not.

Watching his father get into the car and leave, and thinking about his father's cold attitude towards him, he felt extremely resentful.

He saw with his own eyes that his father's face was beaming with smiles after he came out of Yan Qing's courtyard.

But after seeing him, even her smile faded, and she became extremely stingy with even a word of praise.

The contrast between the two, coupled with the huge gap between reality and fantasy, made it difficult for him to accept for a while. He stood there, stunned, for a long time.

Zou Qisi did not stay for long and left the Yan family early the next morning, accompanied by Wanxing.

Yan Qing originally did not plan to go to Tianjin; he only wanted to stay at home and focus on cultivating martial arts.

The marriage proposal made him eager to get away, and since the chances of either Wanxing or Lanyue winning the martial arts alliance duel in Tianjin were slim, he decided to go to Tianjin himself.

Since he intends to go in person, there will definitely be a different setup. Wanxing will go ahead to scout and prepare, while Yan Qing himself will go into seclusion to cultivate and prepare to break through to the Transformation Realm.

After Wanxing and Zou Qisi left, Steward Cao took the Tai Chi Chuan manual and handed it to Yan Qing.

"The technique is fine. Whenever you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

Manager Cao himself knows Tai Chi, but he practices the routines and techniques, not the true essence of Tai Chi.

Therefore, even with a secret manual, he could quickly distinguish between genuine and fake manuals, and also grasp the key points within them very quickly.

It is more than enough to teach Yan Qing.

"Let's not postpone it, let's do it today!"

Just in time, Yan Qing's "Martial Arts Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike" has been perfected, and he has also reached the level of Dark Force: Mind and Intent in Harmony. Now he can practice Tai Chi in his spare time.

However, Yan Qing only wants to familiarize himself with Tai Chi right now and does not intend to directly use Tai Chi to practice internal strength. He plans to practice his internal strength to the extreme before fully entering the realm of external strength.

"Alright! Let's start with the routines."

Chief Steward Cao rarely objected to Yan Qing's decisions. Since Yan Qing wanted to learn now, he would teach him.

The routines of Tai Chi are not difficult; they are just a few moves.

After Chief Steward Cao demonstrated it only once, Yan Qing was able to follow suit and perform the same move exactly.

"The routine looks right, but the core is wrong. Next, I will explain the core of Tai Chi to you."

Chief Steward Cao watched Yan Qing go through the process, first nodding, then shaking his head.

Boxing techniques are not just about routines; the key lies in the application and training of strength, as well as the mobilization of internal energy.

"The core of true Tai Chi transmission lies in guiding Qi through movement and using Qi to propel movement; the most crucial element is the coordination of breath and movement..."

As Steward Cao spoke, his hands began to move.

"Breathe in..."

At the same time, Steward Cao's breathing became heavier with each breath, and each breath was heard very clearly by Yan Qing.

Yan Qing watched Steward Cao's movements and listened to his breathing; the combination of the two created a strange and wonderful effect.

『Inner Three Harmonies: Mind and Heart in Harmony 1881/2500』

Tai Chi Chuan: Neutralizing Force 1/7500

As Yan Qing looked at it, words suddenly appeared before his eyes, and the progress bar of the inner three harmonies of intention and mind jumped and increased.

"Tai Chi has such effects? If so, my progress can be accelerated considerably!"

Yan Qing was pleasantly surprised, something he hadn't expected. He had originally planned to rest during the day and meditate at night, thinking that he could reach the Transformation Realm in about ten days.

But now Tai Chi can also promote the progress of internal harmony, which will definitely greatly accelerate his training speed.

As for the progress bar for Tai Chi Transformation, it doesn't matter. This small progress bar won't generate any force, nor will it affect Yan Qing's plans.

"How well do you remember?"

After fully demonstrating the core essence of Tai Chi, Steward Cao looked at Yan Qing, who had a joyful expression, and asked him a question.

"I'll try typing it out!"

Yan Qing nodded, then went down to the field to begin the drill.

When Yan Qing first started practicing, his breathing and movements were not coordinated.

This is normal. Bajiquan does not have requirements for breathing, but it has strict standards for movements.

Baguazhang emphasizes the mobilization of internal energy, the rhythm of breathing, and the coordination of techniques.

Tai Chi Chuan, on the other hand, places the greatest emphasis on the combination of breathing and movement.

Changing one's breathing is not easy, especially since Yan Qing had become accustomed to the breathing of Baguazhang. Changing it all at once is not an easy thing in itself.

This is one of the reasons why practicing internal strength through various authentic methods is extremely difficult.

The movements during practice must be adjusted at any time, and the manipulation of strength must be extremely skillful. In addition, the breathing must be changed at any time. Each of these aspects requires a deep-rooted familiarity and understanding of the true teachings.

However, Yan Qing did not have such worries. His talent, "Martial Arts Proficiency!", allowed him to achieve mastery that was ingrained in his bones after practicing correctly just once, which saved him a lot of time.

P.S.: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve to everyone, and may your families enjoy good health and happiness in the new year.
