Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

"Bajiquan considers the head and feet as the universe, the shoulders, knees, elbows, and hips as the four directions, the arms in front and behind as opposites, and the dantian (lower abdomen) in the center as the origin of the style. It uses intention to guide qi, and qi to generate power. The three sections and six points are unified internally and externally, creating a powerful momentum. Power is generated from all eight directions; the whole body is the eye, the whole body is the hand. Movement is changeable, change is transformative, transformation is agile—its wonders are endless. Bajiquan places great emphasis on the practice of offensive and defensive techniques. In application, it emphasizes 'touching, shouldering, squeezing, and leaning,' seizing every opportunity, exploiting any gap, not parrying or blocking, but responding to every move."

Bajiquan is a style of boxing that emphasizes practical combat and combines fighting with training. It is characterized by its powerful and forceful attacks that open up the opponent's defenses. The spirit of Bajiquan is based on the sixteen-character mantra: "Loyalty and courage, using the body as a shield, selflessness, and taking the lead in times of danger."

"Sect Leader Yan, it seems you've grasped the essence quite well."

Xu Changgeng smiled.

"Essence my ass, you old codger, have you heard about that?"

Yan Chidan couldn't help but shout.

"Of course I've heard about it, otherwise I wouldn't have come looking for you."

Xu Changgeng shrugged.

What do you want to do?

Yan Chidan asked curiously.

"Naturally, it's because of this matter that we must unite."

Xu Changgeng laughed.

"Join forces?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chidan was taken aback.

Chapter 616 Chen Yuan's Conjecture! (Two Chapters Combined)

“That’s right, Old Yan. We, the Huangmen Sancai, along with Yiqiliu and Ziranmen, are all preparing to join forces. After all, the world is too chaotic. If we, these sects, unite, we can better protect ourselves.”

Xu Changgeng said slowly.

"The Qi Stream and the Natural Gate? Are these two gates also planning to join forces?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chidan was slightly tempted.

These sects are indeed far inferior to Buddhism and Taoism, and since they are all worldly sects, it is impossible for them to remain aloof in the torrent of this era.

The temporary alliance between the four portals may not be a bad thing.

“That’s right, those two also said it’s no problem. We’re going to call this organization the Truth-Seeking Society!”

Xu Changgeng continued.

"The Truth-Seeking Society?"

Yan Chidan was taken aback.

"Old Yan, what do you think of this name? If it's not good, we can discuss it again."

Xu Changgeng chuckled.

“That’s great. The Truth-Seeking Society is exactly what we old folks are pursuing: the word ‘truth’.”

Yan Chidan touched his chin.

Do we pursue the truth?

He really liked the name.

"A four-way alliance?"

Liu Deshui, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

I never expected that the head of the Huangmen Sancai sect would come here for the purpose of a joint effort between several families.

But this makes a lot of sense. It is indeed difficult to protect oneself in this chaotic world. Only by uniting can one have enough strength.

"Old Xu, since that's the case, I also agree on behalf of Yanwu Hall. I'll invite you two old guys over for a drink and discuss the alliance properly."

Yan Chidan naturally didn't have much of an opinion.

He felt that this matter was entirely beneficial and without any drawbacks.

"That's wonderful."

Xu Changgeng also laughed heartily.

On the other side, at the Northeast Military Academy.

"Something terrible has happened! News has come from abroad that something has gone wrong at the conference. I heard that those foreign powers are planning to hand over Shandong to the Japanese!"

A young man rushed in, his eyes filled with anger.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanqing immediately stood up, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Damn it! These bastards!"

Gao Xiang couldn't help but shout loudly.

"They really came after all!"

Chen Yuan, however, remained unusually calm.

After all, he had studied this history, and given China's current national strength, it would be too difficult to resist.

The so-called internal and external troubles.

The country was already in a state of warlordism, and the Northern Expedition was still several years away from a real success. Moreover, the fruits of victory would eventually be seized by traitors like Chiang Kai-shek.

Furthermore, the Japanese will not be peaceful in the future, so it will probably take a very long time to completely defeat them.

"Damn it, they really don't treat us like human beings."

At this moment, angry shouts rose and fell throughout the classroom.

"Fuck you!"

Zhang Hanqing clenched his fists and couldn't help but curse again.

"You're not excited at all, Chen."

Seeing Chen Yuan's calm expression, Gao Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"Getting excited won't help. Right now, we have absolutely no ability to cope. The country is in complete chaos..."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

There's no use in being anxious.

“Brother Chen, but you are too calm, as if you already knew.”

Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but ask as well.

"It's pretty much a guess. These Western powers burned down the Old Summer Palace back then. They're robbers at heart. And this world is a dog-eat-dog world, which will never change no matter what era it is."

We are still too weak. Only when we become strong can we truly sit at the negotiating table.

Chen Yuan also said seriously.

"You're a true college graduate!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiang nodded slightly.

Rough words are not rough.

"Yup!"

"Brother Chen is right. We must become strong in the future, and I hope that the Marshal can unify the whole of China!"

Others chimed in with their own comments.

These people were all young officers or lower-ranking officers of the Fengtian clique, so naturally they supported Zhang Huzi.

"How could it be Zhang Huzi? He'll be blown up by the Japanese soon."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

It was virtually impossible for warlords to unify the country.

However, the thought that Chiang Kai-shek would gain power in the future made him somewhat depressed.

This guy is no good, but without him, the reforms might not have been so thorough. After all, he's both incompetent and wicked, which is what inspired the people's unity.

"Well said, the law of the jungle is indeed a characteristic of any era!"

Guo Maochen also walked in.

He was not a student, but rather entered the Northeast Military Academy as a teacher.

He also greatly admired Chen Yuan.

This young man is more energetic and visionary than he imagined.

He naturally didn't know that Chen Yuan was a time traveler, which is why he could say such things.

"It's a pity about Guo Maochen. I wonder if we could have saved him?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Guo Maochen, secretly thinking to himself.

Of course, this was an internal dispute within the Fengtian clique.

At this time, in Guangzhou.

"Brother Liu Shuang, what's wrong with you guys?"

Li Muxuan also arrived here.

"Yes, everyone, has something happened?"

Lu Jin also looked puzzled.

"Something went wrong at the conference. They refuted the legitimate rights and interests our representatives were talking about, and then they're preparing to hand over Shandong to the Japanese!"

Liu Shuang shouted angrily.

"What? Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan was also enraged.

"……Really?"

Lu Jin was also taken aback.
