"Don't say it like that. At worst, how about I teach you guys Tai Chi?" Huo Yuhao suggested.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes instantly lit up!
One on the left, one on the right, they grabbed onto Yuhao's arms.
"Class monitor, can you really do that?" Xiao Xiao asked expectantly.
"If you insist on teaching, then I guess I can learn a bit too." Wang Dong replied with a slightly proud tone.
"What's the big deal? Brother Lan said this Tai Chi can circulate freely within the Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect." Huo Yuhao explained earnestly.
Cherishing knowledge like a miser? That didn't exist here.
He had direct inheritance of the memory, which was why he possessed the complete Tai Chi.
Of course, passing it on a second time couldn't ensure one hundred percent mastery.
But the more people learned Tai Chi, the more Fortune Points he would gain.
Naturally, the more the better.
So…
"Rather than choosing another day, it's better to just start now! You two can learn from me right here!"
"Since you insist, then fine."
"Yay! That's great, Class monitor!"
At the side, Yan Shaozhe was deeply tempted as he listened, even considering whether he should also join the Holy Flame Sect.
That semi-divine being's body-tempering scripture—the Muscle Transformation Manual—was also something he had been thinking about.
Besides, judging from the teachers' attitudes, they clearly intended to establish good relations with that demi-god existence.
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, coughed lightly, and asked:
"Little Junior Brother, about this Holy Flame Sect… could Senior Brother also join?"
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao all froze at once, turning to look at Yan Shaozhe together.
Eh?
"What are you in a daze for? Free Fortune Points delivered to your door—don't waste it!" Zhuge Lan urged.
Yuhao snapped back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"No problem at all, Senior Brother!"
"Last time Brother Lan came, he mentioned that if a Title Douluo joined, they'd be made an Honorary Elder right away. I didn't think we'd use that rule so soon."
Yan Shaozhe's brow twitched slightly.
So, that person had already foreseen this—just waiting for them to take the bait, huh.
But once the arrow was nocked, there was no turning back.
He put on a casual smile and said, "That's good then. Otherwise, I'd have to call you Senior, Little Junior Brother."
"No, no! Here at Shrek Academy, we'll still address each other as Senior Brother and Junior Brother." Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands.
But what Yan Shaozhe focused on was the hidden implication—inside the Holy Flame Sect, titles and positions would be judged separately, wouldn't they?
That demi-god being clearly treated Huo Yuhao as a successor.
At the very least, he'd be a Deputy Sect Master in the future, right?
Well… he'd think about it later.
"Let's begin cultivation." Huo Yuhao said. "First we'll—"
"Wait a second!" Xiao Xiao raised her little hand, smiling sweetly. "Class monitor, aren't you forgetting something?"
Wang Dong cast an expectant look. Yes, yes!
Yuhao: "..."
He had purposely tried to skip over it, yet they insisted on reminding him, huh?
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Brother Lan only chuckled without speaking.
It wasn't about scarcity, but inequality.
The hardships he himself had gone through—how could others just skip them?
Especially when the subject was Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department Dean, Yan Shaozhe, a Level 95 Super Douluo.
That made it even more worth anticipating!
Coincidentally… Yan Shaozhe himself had heard some rumors about this "initiation ritual."
His expression grew rather unnatural. He struggled a bit and said, "As an Honorary Elder, surely I can be exempt from this part?"
"No way!" the rebellious Xiao Xiao cried out.
"Class monitor, didn't you say all disciples are equal? Elders can't have privileges either!"
"Right! No special privileges!" Wang Dong chimed in.
Huo Yuhao could only look helplessly at Yan Shaozhe.
"Senior Brother… how about we just… go through the process?"
Yan Shaozhe: "..."
So, no escaping after all.
Still, unwilling to give up, he asked, "Who designed this initiation ritual anyway?"
"Brother Lan." Yuhao answered truthfully.
Yan Shaozhe completely gave up.
A person who could whimsically create a sect name like "Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect" really was capable of anything.
And out of respect for that demi-god being, he didn't even use spirit power to muffle his voice.
He just tilted his head back and shouted—
"Holy Flame shining bright, Holy Flame blazing high, all disciples of mine…"
"Meow meow meow meow!"
As expected of a Super Douluo, his voice was so loud that the entire dormitory building stirred awake.
Who was going crazy yelling like this so early in the morning?
"What's all this racket?" Yan Shaozhe roared with imposing momentum. "Not going to class? Anyone late today will be expelled on the spot!"
Holy crap!
The Dean himself had come to the dorms!?
"Understood, Dean!"
"We're heading out right now!"
"Stop sleeping already! Clap clap clap!"
"Thank you, Godfather, for saving my life!"
…
By relying on his authority as Dean, Yan Shaozhe successfully covered up the matter.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong grinned in delight.
Seeing a "latecomer" suffer the same embarrassment as themselves was so satisfying!
Huo Yuhao, however, looked embarrassed, complaining to Zhuge Lan in his heart.
"Can't we just cancel this initiation ritual? It's way too weird."
"No way. If they don't even have this bit of sincerity, then my Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect won't accept them." Zhuge Lan remained adamant.
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Sigh… Brother Lan was perfect in every way, except for this mischievous taste of his…
"Little Junior Brother, can we begin now?" Yan Shaozhe asked.
Huo Yuhao quickly nodded.
"Senior Brother, let's practice Tai Chi first. The Muscle Transformation Manual will come later.
"But for now, I can only teach you the first stage. The second stage has to wait until I comprehend it myself."
A glint flickered in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
Huo Yuhao could teach the second stage?
Hadn't he previously said he only knew the first?
It must've been that demi-god who personally guided him just now!
Thoughts raced through Yan Shaozhe's mind, but outwardly he simply nodded.
Huo Yuhao then brought him into the shared Spiritual Detection and began explaining the essence of Tai Chi.
"Tai Chi emphasizes stillness overcoming motion, softness countering hardness, using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, striking later yet arriving first.
"It also flows like drifting clouds and flowing water, continuous and unbroken, blending hardness and softness, hidden yet present.
"It can awaken potential, enlighten wisdom, strengthen the spirit, and fortify the body.
"But to truly grasp it, the key lies in the artistic conception."
…
After a round of teaching—
Xiao Xiao was left utterly bewildered.
Wang Dong gained some insights and was still pondering deeply.
[Altered Wang Dong's destiny, +150 Fortune Points!]
Yet the greatest beneficiary was Yan Shaozhe.
The concept of "Yin-Yang Harmony" within Tai Chi actually loosened the bottleneck that had long hindered him!
—This art was definitely no ordinary thing!
The combat strength Huo Yuhao showed was merely a side effect.
The true essence was in cultivating the body, mind, and spirit!
In the past, one could only rely on sudden enlightenment or life experiences to make progress.
But now—it could actually be trained systematically!?
A treasure!
An absolute treasure!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he grew.
Unable to restrain himself, Yan Shaozhe left in a rush, flying straight toward Sea God Island.
He had to tell everyone about this!
Especially those stuck at bottlenecks or with flaws in themselves—they needed this Tai Chi conception most of all!
Huo Yuhao, seeing that things were about right, also told Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to rest.
[Altered Yan Shaozhe's destiny, +12,500 Fortune Points!]
That was for joining the Holy Flame Sect.
[Altered Yan Shaozhe's destiny, +5,000 Fortune Points!]
That was for comprehending Tai Chi.
An unexpectedly high return.
"Brother Lan, this Tai Chi seems to have quite the effect on Senior Brother." Yuhao commented.
"This was handpicked by me." Brother Lan said with pride. "All those people who only know how to copy skill templates—what do they understand about the principle of Dao following Nature? Relying purely on innate talent to force their way through… no wonder there are so few true experts at the peak."
