Martial arts, also known as Chinese martial arts.

What is Chinese martial arts?

Some might say that martial arts that only kill enemies and are not performed are called Chinese martial arts.

Initially, martial arts practitioners and some people promoted martial arts only to strengthen the country and the race. Later, the government stepped in to establish the National Martial Arts Academy, which unified the various schools of martial arts, such as Xingyi, Tai Chi, Bagua, Tongbei, Mantis, Bajiquan, Chuojiao, Hongquan, Tiexian, Piguazhang, Tantui, wrestling, and many other martial arts, under the name of "National Martial Arts".

In the past, there were several masters of Chinese martial arts, but in this era of advanced technology and the decline of Chinese martial arts, it is unknown whether there are any masters of Chinese martial arts now.

In the world of Chinese martial arts, Bajiquan is known as "the art of Taiji bringing peace to the world and the martial art of Bajiquan settling the universe."

"Beyond the Nine Provinces are the Eight Yin, beyond the Eight Yin are the Eight Hong, beyond the Eight Hong are the Eight Extremes." Here, the Eight Extremes represent the farthest reaches. The name Bajiquan (Eight Extremes Fist) also implies that disciples of this school must cultivate the power of Bajiquan to the farthest realm.

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 (vital energy), and qi to generate power. The three sections and six points (of the body) 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 "attacking, shouldering, squeezing, and leaning," seizing every opportunity, exploiting any gap, not blocking or parrying, but responding to each move.

Yang Zhuo was willing to exchange Bajiquan because Bajiquan was too famous. It could kill and injure people. Some martial arts evolved purely for the purpose of killing.

Yang Zhuo didn't kill people for the sake of killing; he only did it out of desperation.

When Yang Zhuo woke up the next morning, his parents had already gone to work, and there was breakfast left for him on the table.

Seeing the breakfast on the table, Yang Zhuo clenched his fist and thought to himself: Mom and Dad, I will definitely make sure you live a good life. You will be proud of me in the future.

After breakfast, Yang Zhuo headed to school, where Wang Qiang was waiting for him at the entrance, as usual.

"Zhuozi, what's going on with you? How did your grades improve so quickly, and you've already made it into the top ten?" Wang Qiang asked Yang Zhuo with great curiosity the whole way.

Yang Zhuo shrugged and said in a pretentious manner, "I've already said it, I used to hide my true abilities in exams, but now I don't want to hide them anymore, so my grades are naturally better. This is just the beginning, and my grades will get even better in the future, just you wait and see."

Wang Qiang was speechless. Although Yang Zhuo's words sounded a bit far-fetched, Wang Qiang couldn't help but believe them somewhat.

Besides this explanation, Wang Qiang couldn't find any other reason to explain why Yang Zhuo's grades had improved so quickly.

He just couldn't understand why Yang Zhuo had been hiding his true abilities all along.

When the two arrived at school, Yang Zhuo went to the playground as usual to start exercising. Although Yang Zhuo's physical condition was not bad before, he would get tired after running for five or six minutes. But now he had been running for ten minutes and did not feel tired.

This is the benefit Yang Zhuo received from acquiring the basics of Bajiquan.

In ancient times, most martial artists practiced martial arts to improve their health. For example, Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi and Shaolin Kung Fu were originally designed to help people improve their health.

Therefore, Yang Zhuo naturally gained a good physique from mastering Bajiquan.

After running for more than half an hour, Yang Zhuo then got into a stance and started practicing Bajiquan. Bajiquan emphasizes practical combat, whether it's injuring or killing people. As a martial art that cultivates both internal and external skills, Bajiquan emphasizes the combination of internal and external, which means cultivating both internal and external aspects. This also made Yang Zhuo start breathing in the morning air while practicing Bajiquan, and his body and mind began to merge with nature.

After completing a round of boxing, Yang Zhuo gained a deeper understanding of Bajiquan.

Back in the classroom, Yang Zhuo's energy and spirit drew attention from almost all the students, with some female students even secretly watching him.

Many girls couldn't help but think: Yang Zhuo didn't look this handsome before, how come he looks so handsome and energetic today?

They didn't know that Yang Zhuo looked handsome today because of his energy and spirit, plus the effect of practicing Tai Chi.

People who practice martial arts are generally considered to be very masculine, and Yang Zhuo was no exception. After practicing Bajiquan, Yang Zhuo's energy and spirit were raised to a level higher than that of ordinary people, which is why he appeared so energetic. And since opposites attract, the stronger Yang Zhuo's masculine aura was, the more attention he attracted to girls. So, as soon as Yang Zhuo entered, he received the attention of almost all the girls.

Chen Sihan was no exception. Yang Zhuo caught her eye as soon as he came in, which made her wonder why Yang Zhuo looked so energetic today. Was it because he did well on the exam?

"Why do you look so energetic today? Tell me, are you up to something bad again?" Yang Zhuo had just sat down when he heard Chen Sihan's voice in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhuo looked up at Chen Sihan and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Chen Sihan was staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for his reply.

"Well, I'm just happy because I did well on the exam. Good things happen, and good exam results are one of the four great joys in life," Yang Zhuo coughed and said softly.

However, seeing Chen Sihan like this, Yang Zhuo really couldn't imagine what it would feel like to hold Chen Sihan in his arms. He really wanted to experience it.

Just as Yang Zhuo was imagining what it would feel like to embrace Chen Sihan, the system suddenly issued a task.

Task Name: Embrace Chen Sihan.

Mission Requirements: As the host of the system, a future academic genius and all-around prodigy, you should not keep your thoughts buried in your heart, but boldly act on them. Go for it, young man! Use your courage and wisdom to gently bring your goddess Chen Sihan into your arms.

Task reward: 50 exchange points.

Mission failed: Randomly strip the host of one skill.

Task duration: seven days.

Upon seeing this task, Yang Zhuo was dumbfounded. What was this? Was he being asked to force himself on Chen Sihan? Although Chen Sihan usually cared for him, Yang Zhuo knew it was because she was kind to him. But kindness didn't mean she liked him. So he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he forced himself on Chen Sihan.

However, Yang Zhuo estimated that he would have two possible outcomes. First, Chen Sihan would cripple him, and they would become strangers from then on. Second, Chen Sihan would be very angry and think he was a villain, and they would become strangers from then on. In any case, as long as he used force, there would be no possibility for them to be together in the future.

Damn, this task is really a pain in the ass...
