Chapter 185: Taiji Fist

Meng Yifan, holding a critical mindset, browsed through the pictures of beautiful women posted by netizens in the thread.

"This beauty's nose is clearly surgically done; it's too prominent and doesn't match her face shape. Looking at the nose alone, or the face alone, it's passable, but put together, it's very awkward. Thumbs down."

"These 'weapons' are indeed large, but they are clearly fake; they must be filled with a lot of silicone. Still a thumbs down."

"This melon-seed face is almost turning into a cone shape; it's too terrifying, it looks creepy. Is this really a beauty? Buddy, your taste is lacking."

"This one is passable, but the traces of Photoshop are too obvious. If you zoom in and look closely, it's clearly full of flaws."

After finishing the beauties, Meng Yifan left a comment: "All trash, mere superficial vanity, not worth a look."

Meng Yifan was not being argumentative; beauties also fear comparison. Among the photos of beauties posted by netizens, a few could be considered decent in appearance, but compared to the quadruplet beauties of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, they were a notch lower.

Furthermore, these beauties on the internet all had more or less traces of surgery on their faces, while those quadruplet beauties were purely natural, like a lotus rising from clear water, natural and unadorned, and they were identical top-tier beauties, which instantly overshadowed these beauties.

That netizen named 'My Great Blade Has Long Been Famished' seemed to be surfing the net constantly. After seeing Meng Yifan's comment, he jumped out directly and said: "Thread starter, you can insult me, but you cannot insult my goddess. You say my goddess is trash; if you have the ability, post one that isn't trash and let the vast number of netizens judge. I don't believe there is a beauty more beautiful than my goddess."

Meng Yifan smiled and left a comment: "Next time, I'll post some pictures, I guarantee you'll admit defeat."

Meng Yifan now had the portable space of his Space Ring. He planned that the next time he traveled to the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World, he would bring his phone and take a few photos of the quadruplet beauties, which would surely blind the titanium alloy dog eyes of the netizens.

"Fine, thread starter, let's make a bet. When the time comes, if the beauty pictures you post are not as good as my goddess, you must apologize to my goddess." Brother Blade seemed to worship his goddess very much and would not allow others to speak ill of her.

"It's a deal."

Meng Yifan read through all the comments under this thread. There were a bunch of people bragging and talking nonsense; basically, it was all trash content. Not one person seemed to truly know about the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World. Could it be that he was the only one who had traveled to the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World?

When Meng Yifan first traveled to the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World, a game pop-up appeared on his phone. He was a bit bored, so he clicked on it casually, and then he traveled directly.

According to normal logic, a game pop-up like this should be sent to many people at the same time; it couldn't possibly be recommended only to Meng Yifan, right?

Meng Yifan felt that he was just an ordinary person. Apart from having been a mercenary for a period of time, he had nothing special about him. Such a miraculous game couldn't possibly be recommended only to him.

If Meng Yifan could travel inside, others should also be able to, but why was no one commenting under this thread?

Did they not see it? Or did they see it but didn't want to make it public?

Or could it be that the people who entered the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World with Meng Yifan were all trapped inside and hadn't come out yet?

"Huh! Is that really a possibility?" Meng Yifan was able to return to Earth because he had collected a large number of Yin Souls. If other Earthlings had truly traveled into the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World, they might be unable to protect themselves and wouldn't dare to kill crazily to collect a large number of Yin Souls.

"There is another point: when I traveled to the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World, time on Earth was frozen."

"Likewise, after I traveled back, time in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World was also frozen. If there were other players, and they also wanted to return, would time freeze for them too?"

"Could it be that when other players return, I will also be staying in a frozen world?"

"Who developed this Game Panel? Why did they do this? What is the purpose? And why choose me as a player?"

Thinking deeply, it was terrifying. The more Meng Yifan thought about it, the more his scalp tingled. None of this had an answer; it all required him to explore slowly on his own.

Meng Yifan shook his head and stopped letting his imagination run wild. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road; for now, he could only take it one step at a time.

"Let me search online first to see if I can find some cultivation methods." Meng Yifan typed the two words 'cultivation method' into the search engine and hit enter.

Many web pages appeared on the computer. Meng Yifan browsed quickly, filtering out movies, TV shows, and various novels, and he actually found some cultivation methods.

"Iron Sand Palm, Eagle Claw Skill, Iron Head Skill, Great Vajra Palm, Twelve-Road Tan Leg..." In modern society, with the information explosion, there are many cultivation methods online. Not only are there move sets, but there are also master explanations, and they are basically all free. For Meng Yifan, this was very convenient. He only needed to copy and save these cultivation manuals to his phone, or download and print them out, and he could practice slowly.

In the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty World, if you want to learn cultivation methods, you either have to spend silver to buy manuals or become an apprentice. Unlike on Earth, where so many cultivation manuals are placed online, anyone who wants to learn can download them and follow along.

Meng Yifan looked at these cultivation methods carefully. With his current vision as a Third Grade Martial Artist, apart from some made-up martial arts manuals, there were still many real martial arts manuals online. For example, Iron Sand Palm and Eagle Claw Skill have many merits and can be considered Yellow Grade martial arts.

But they were not the cultivation methods Meng Yifan was looking for.

Because the most important thing for a martial artist in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty is to cultivate Blood Qi Power, condense True Qi, let the True Qi circulate within the meridians, strengthen the physical body from the inside out, and then achieve Condensing Qi into Steel, possessing incredible combat power.

Martial arts like Iron Sand Palm, Eagle Claw Skill, and Iron Head Skill only train a part of the body and do not train Blood Qi Power. Without special secret medicines to regulate the body, practicing for a long time easily leads to physical problems, or even crippling oneself.

"Huh! Taiji Fist is quite interesting." Meng Yifan used to look down on Taiji Fist, thinking it was just fitness exercises for old men and women in the park, with slow moves and no real combat effectiveness.

But with Meng Yifan's current realm, looking at Taiji Fist again, he discovered that every move and stance of Taiji Fist should be coordinated with breathing and exhaling, and the True Qi within the body must be coordinated to circulate, only then can the true power of Taiji Fist be unleashed.

Taiji Fist is a very profound cultivation method. Under normal circumstances, practicing internal arts involves sitting cross-legged and letting True Qi circulate in the meridians, but Taiji Fist takes a different path, using boxing to perform exercises and circulate Qi, which is not only for combat but also for health preservation.

It is said that Taiji Fist was created by Zhang Sanfeng. Meng Yifan is still not sure if Zhang Sanfeng is an Immortal Cultivator, but Taiji Fist indeed has its subtleties.

Unfortunately, in today's society, people's hearts are restless, and few people can put in the hard work to practice diligently.

Added to that is the thinness of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; the vast majority of people practicing Taiji Fist only learn the basic routines and have not learned the methods of circulating Qi at all, so they can only be considered laymen.

The more Meng Yifan looked, the more pleasantly surprised he was. He had just carefully scrutinized every move and stance of Taiji Fist, as well as the accompanying cultivation methods, and felt that Taiji Fist was at least a Mysterious Grade cultivation method, and possibly even Earth-grade or Heaven-grade.

Practicing Taiji Fist to a profound realm, with True Qi clearing the meridians, one can actually absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the acupoints.

This is truly miraculous; it is simply entering the Dao through martial arts. Meng Yifan was so impressed he slapped the table in admiration.

A martial artist transports Blood Qi within the meridians to strengthen themselves, while an Immortal Cultivator absorbs Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining it into Spirit Power to strengthen the Divine Soul; these are two different methods of cultivation.

Yet Taiji Fist can combine these two cultivation methods into one. Zhang Sanfeng, who created this cultivation method, is truly a genius.

From this, it can be inferred that Zhang Sanfeng followed the path of entering the Dao through martial arts. He is very likely a true Immortal Cultivator. Historical records state he lived for over three hundred years; it is unknown whether he eventually died or went somewhere else.

Meng Yifan also saw the video online of that 'Rat Tail Juice' Master Ma being knocked out by one punch, and he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

That Master Ma is just a clown seeking attention. He claims to be a Taiji Grandmaster, yet he hasn't even cultivated basic True Qi; he can't be considered someone who truly knows Taiji Fist at all.

With his level, he dares to claim to be a Taiji Grandmaster, and even open a sect to recruit students. He is truly misleading his students and ruining the reputation of Taiji Fist.

If Zhang Sanfeng knew he had such disciples and grand-disciples, he would be so angry he would have to purge the sect.
