Then, he created a new Tai Chi routine with small, agile movements, high stances, smooth and rounded steps, light transitions, diverse directions of movement, coordinated footwork, and seamless opening and closing movements.
Subsequently, it developed into its own style, known as Sun-style Tai Chi.
Chapter 47 A Battle of Momentum
Meanwhile, some students in the crowd had already recognized Sun Liang.
"Isn't that someone from our school's martial arts club?"
"I heard he was the runner-up in the National Youth Wushu Competition,"
Wow, is that awesome?
"Can Senior Mingcheng beat him?"
.........................................................
At this moment, Wu Mingcheng was wondering whether or not to accept Sun Liang's challenge.
At this moment, the system's mechanical notification sounded in Wu Mingcheng's mind.
"Ding, the system has issued a random task: a small test."
The host agrees to spar with Sun Liang and must successfully defeat him, earning Sun Liang's sincere admiration.
Mission Reward: The host's Bajiquan skill will be upgraded to the Expert level, and the Beginner level Tai Chi skill will be obtained.
"Does the host accept the mission?"
Wu Mingcheng thought for a moment and decided to use Sun Liang as a test of his Bajiquan skills.
Moreover, he heard someone in the crowd say that Sun Liang was the runner-up in the China Youth Martial Arts Competition.
It is evident that he is also a master of traditional Chinese martial arts, ranking among the top young masters in China.
He could also take this opportunity to see where he stood among the current masters of Chinese martial arts.
He responded in his mind,
"accept,"
So he spoke to Sun Liang.
"Of course! I've long admired Sun-style Tai Chi, and it's an honor to be able to exchange skills with a successor of Sun-style Tai Chi today."
Sun Liang was overjoyed to see that Wu Mingcheng had agreed to the sparring match.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said,
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Mingcheng. I know I might be being a bit presumptuous."
However, very few people practice traditional Chinese martial arts at our school, and I haven't had a worthy opponent for a long time.
Seeing Senior Mingcheng practice this set of boxing techniques today, I can tell you're a master of Bajiquan.
I couldn't resist anymore; I was really itching to do it and couldn't suppress my thoughts.
Upon hearing Sun Liang's words, Wu Mingcheng thought to himself, "It seems this Sun Liang is quite the martial arts fanatic."
He smiled and said,
“I completely understand,”
Then, Sun Liang began to speak seriously.
"Senior Mingcheng, let's cut to the chase and get started."
Wu Mingcheng nodded solemnly at this moment.
"Alright, let's begin."
Wu Mingcheng took the lead, adopting the starting stance of Bajiquan.
He stood with his feet together, his body naturally upright, his arms hanging naturally at his sides with palms facing inward and fingers pointing downward, his eyes looking straight ahead.
His entire body was like a drawn bow, every part of it brimming with power.
Once the two sides engage in combat, he can suddenly unleash his bow and launch a fierce attack.
Seeing Wu Mingcheng's actions, Sun Liang felt a slight tightening in his heart and became even more cautious.
As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen only see the spectacle. What Sun Liang saw was naturally different from what the onlookers around him observed.
From this starting stance, Sun Liang could tell that Wu Mingcheng was no ordinary master; his skills must have been honed over at least ten years.
Tai Chi and Bajiquan, on the other hand, are completely opposite in their powerful and crisp movements.
Its core principles are to overcome strength with gentleness, to wait for movement with stillness, to transform straightness into roundness, to defeat the large with the small, and to overcome the strong with the weak.
At this moment, Sun Liang also began to gain momentum.
He stood upright, relaxed naturally, and looked directly at Wu Mingcheng in front of him.
Slowly raise both hands from in front of your body to shoulder level, then lower your shoulders.
Then, slowly lower and backward his elbows, leading his forearms and hands downward as well.
After both sides established their stances, they did not rush into combat, but instead engaged in a contest of momentum.
At that moment, the atmosphere at the scene froze instantly.
The emotions of the surrounding crowd were also stirred, and the entire arena fell silent, everyone staring intently at the two figures on the field.
Wu Mingcheng remained calm and composed, his eyes fixed intently on Sun Liang opposite him.
At this point, Sun Liang was also starting to struggle. If you looked closely, you would see the sweat streaming down the back of his head.
He grew increasingly nervous and was finally about to lose control, so he spoke first.
He knew that in this contest of momentum and composure, he had already lost.
Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly, having already taken the initiative before even starting the fight.
Based on the principle of using stillness to control movement in Tai Chi, Sun Liang wanted to gain some advantage at the start.

Then he spoke,
"Senior Mingcheng, why don't you make the first move?"
Since learning Bajiquan, Wu Mingcheng has gained a deep understanding of other traditional Chinese martial arts.
He knew that Sun Liang's decision to let him make the first move wasn't out of modesty, but rather to gain the initiative in terms of appearance.
So he smiled slightly and said,
"Alright, Sun Liang, now I'm about to make my move, so watch out!"
Wu Mingcheng stomped his feet hard on the ground, then was suddenly thrown a punch at Sun Liang from above.
This punch was exceptionally powerful, accompanied by a roar like a tiger and a cry like a dragon.
It used nearly half of Wu Mingcheng's strength, and he was afraid that if he used his full power, Sun Liang wouldn't be able to withstand it.
At this moment, the crowd gasped in surprise upon witnessing such a violent scene.
Sun Liang, however, was prepared and quickly executed a Tai Chi Cloud Hands move.
He wanted to use minimal force to deflect Wu Mingcheng's attack.
However, to his surprise, Wu Mingcheng's strength was immense.
The difference in strength between the two was quite large; he almost couldn't withstand the blow and was nearly knocked off his feet by a single punch.
Chapter 48 Comparable to a Master of Chinese Martial Arts
Having exhausted all other options, he could only use both hands to lock Wu Mingcheng's wrists and push him to the side.
At this moment, he saw an opening under Wu Mingcheng's arm and seized an opportunity.
He then freed one hand and slapped Wu Mingcheng's raised arm under his armpit as he threw a punch.
Wu Mingcheng seemed to have anticipated Sun Liang's move, and immediately unleashed a powerful Bengquan (crushing fist) strike, slamming it into Sun Liang's outstretched hand.
Sun Liang immediately felt a sharp pain in his palm, quickly pulled his hand back, and then took the opportunity to retreat.
The back-and-forth exchanges between the two sides excited the onlookers.
Seeing that Wu Mingcheng had gained the upper hand, everyone present cheered in unison.
"it is good,"
The female fans of Wu Mingcheng standing nearby also shouted,
"Mingcheng is so handsome!"
"Mingcheng is the best!"
"Wow, that's so cool!"
......................................................
Wu Mingcheng on the field was completely unaffected by the noise of the people around him.
Instead, taking advantage of the situation, Wu Mingcheng decided to strike while the iron was hot and finish the job, using a famous and widely circulated move from Bajiquan called "Tie Shan Kao" (贴山靠).
He moved his legs directly, then suddenly jabbed his elbow into Sun Liang's body.
