Chapter 417 - This worlds missing Taiji Fist! (2/2)

Zhang Ye had some thoughts.

Taiji Fist was a lost martial arts? Then how did the old people of this world keep their bodies healthy!?

Thinking about it more, Zhang Ye realized that he was the only person who knew Taiji Fist in this world! No wonder. No wonder the previous few times that Zhang Ye had used it had always left others wondering what kind of martial arts it was. At the monastery, Zhang Ye used Taiji Fist to fight with those monks. Logically speaking, those monks were also martial arts pract.i.tioners. Whether they used their own martial arts or another schools martial arts, they should have a lot of knowledge about most kinds. Yet they were shocked by Zhang Ye's kungfu. None of them could identify the martial arts Zhang Ye used by name. Also during the hijacking incident, Zhang Ye had used Taiji Fist against the terrorist who was a Muay Thai expert. Neither the terrorist nor the other pa.s.sengers had identified the kungfu that he used then either. At that time, Zhang Ye did not notice this. Thinking back, he realized the reason for all of that!

It wasn't because they were ignorant!

It was because no one had ever seen Taiji Fist in action before!

Even Rao Aimin, who was the eldest disciple of the Eight Trigram Palms, had only heard of the legend of Taiji Fist!

Rao Aimin told him, ”So that's why if you want to bulls.h.i.+t in the future, you should just say that you know Wing Chun and I might believe you, but telling me you know Taiji Fist?  Hur, why don't you claim that you know the Eighteen Devils Subduing Palms!”

That mouth of her was so vile!

Zhang Ye, ”...”

Five minutes had pa.s.sed.

His temperature had dropped to 38.3 degrees.

It was still in the range of a fever, but it was getting much better.

Rao Aimin was very caring and thoughtful. Although she always had a look of reluctance, occasionally criticizing Zhang Ye, her actions made him feel very well taken care of. She took a gla.s.s of warm water for him to drink.

After he finished drinking,

Rao Aimin would pour another gla.s.s for him.

Zhang Ye shook his head, ”I'm not having anymore.”

”.....Drink it!” Rao Aimin ordered him.

Zhang Ye could only reluctantly drink it all up before giving a burp. His mind had already wandered off, thinking about the issue of Taiji Fist.

Me, bulls.h.i.+t?

But I'm really not bulls.h.i.+tting!

I've really f**king seen Taiji Fist and I even know how to use it!

Zhang Ye could even speak incessantly about the various styles like Chen, Yang, Wǔ, Wú, Sun, He, etc, etc, etc. Each style of Taiji Fist had some differences, but all of it originated from ”Taiji Yin Yang”. He could even tell Rao Aimin about how Taiji Fist consisted of the basics: parry, retraction, press, side push, pluck, divide, elbow, shoulder, forward, backward, left, right, and balance, but he could not say all of that. Even if he did, no one would believe it, as no one in this world had even seen it before. So why would he be the one to know about it?

”Still thinking? Go to sleep quickly!” Rao Aimin was never polite with Zhang Ye. She always sounded as though she was commanding him around. Alright, actually she did this to everyone too. Zhang Ye was already used to it.

Zhang Ye tersely acknowledged.

Rao Aimin said, ”If you really want to learn martial arts, tell me what you want to learn. Even though I do not have good relations with other martial arts pract.i.tioners, nor do I have many friends in there as most of them prefer not to see me, Hur Hur, but my reputation still carries some weight. If you wish to learn something, I can recommend you. There's no need to pay school fees. You can just follow them and practice together, but I still maintain my stance that at your age, you're past the age of learning martial arts. I started at just a few years old to learn the basics. Even if most people do not start as early as me, they also begin learning in their teens. You're already over 20 now. Even if you wanted to learn butchering, they might say that you're too old for it. You should just stick to physical strengthening, that's about all you can do. And you even wanted to learn it to fight with other people? Then you might as well just continue learning Taekwondo, Muay Thai, or Karate. Those are simpler and much easier to pick up.”

Zhang Ye asked, ”Then in martial arts, which school is the strongest?”

Rao Aimin looked at him a few times and said, ”To even ask a question like that shows me how much of an amateur you are. How can martial arts be gauged as strong or weak? The only thing that can be gauged in this way are people. Even if a lot of people might look down on certain martial arts, if the person practicing it has a high standard and is well learnt, they can still be called masters.”

Zhang Ye asked, ”What about you? What's your level?”

Rao Aimin said dully, ”Me? I don't have any level, what kind of times are we in now? In this age of modern weapons like missiles and machine guns, even if you are great in some martial art, if a bullet comes your way you’ll be dead meat!” She didn't sound like she was willing to reveal anything further, ”Stop talking rubbish and go to sleep!”
