Chapter 42: A Dimensionality Strike! Show Wang Dong the Big Treasure!

"Don't say it like that. The worst-case scenario is that I teach you Tai Chi," Huo Yuhao suggested.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao’s eyes lit up simultaneously!

They grabbed Huo Yuhao by the arms, one on each side.

"Class monitor, is that really okay?" Xiao Xiao asked expectantly.

"If you insist on teaching it, I suppose I could learn a thing or two," Wang Dong said, acting a bit aloof.

"It’s nothing major. Brother Lan said that within the Sacred Fire Sect, this Tai Chi can be shared freely," Huo Yuhao said sincerely.

Hoarding knowledge? That didn't exist here.

He had received the complete Tai Chi through a direct memory inheritance. If he taught it again, it was impossible for others to achieve 100% mastery. Furthermore, the more people who learned Tai Chi, the more Luck Points he would gain. Naturally, the more, the better.

So...

"There’s no time like the present. Why don't you start learning from me right now!"

"Since you insist, fine."

"That's great, Class Monitor!"

Nearby, Yan Shaozhe was so tempted by what he heard that he started wondering if he should join the Sacred Fire Sect himself. He was also quite intrigued by the *Yijin Jing* (Muscle Tendon Change Classic) technique that the demigod possessed. Moreover, judging by the teachers' intentions, they were also keen on building a good relationship with that demigod.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe could no longer hold back. He stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Junior brother, about this Sacred Fire Sect... can your Senior Brother join?"

The trio stopped what they were doing and looked at Yan Shaozhe in unison.

"Eh?"

"Why are you stunned? Are you going to turn down free Luck Points knocking at your door?" Zhuge Lan urged.

Huo Yuhao snapped back to reality and nodded repeatedly.

"No problem at all, Senior Brother!"

"When Brother Lan came last time, he said that if any Titled Douluo joined, they would be made an Honorary Elder directly. I didn't expect to use that so soon."

Yan Shaozhe’s brow twitched. It seemed that the man had predicted this long ago and was just waiting for them to walk into the trap. But with the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no way to back out now.

He feigned a relaxed smile and said, "That’s good. Otherwise, I would have had to address you as my senior."

"No need, no need. At Shrek Academy, we should still treat each other as senior and junior brothers," Huo Yuhao said hurriedly.

However, Yan Shaozhe was more concerned about the underlying implication—within the Sacred Fire Sect, the hierarchy would be different, right? Judging by the demigod's words, he was grooming Huo Yuhao as his successor. At the very least, he would end up as the Deputy Sect Master, wouldn't he?

That meant... never mind, he would deal with that later.

"Let's start practicing," Huo Yuhao said. "First, let's—"

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Xiao raised her small hand and said with a grin, "Class monitor, have you forgotten something?"

Wang Dong cast an expectant look. That’s right, that’s right!

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He had deliberately ignored it, but they were determined to remind him, weren't they?

In the spiritual world, Zhuge Lan smiled without a word. *Do not worry about scarcity, worry about inequality.* How could others skip the bitter path he had walked? Especially when the targets were his own teacher, the Dean of the Martial Soul Branch, and a level 95 Super Douluo. That made it even more worth looking forward to!

Coincidentally, Yan Shaozhe had also heard rumors about this "initiation ceremony." His expression became quite unnatural.

He struggled, "As an Honorary Elder, can we skip this part?"

"That won't do!" the rebellious disciple Xiao Xiao said loudly. "Class monitor, you said yourself that all disciples are equal. Does being an Elder grant you special privileges?"

"Exactly! No special privileges!" Wang Dong echoed.

Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and looked at Yan Shaozhe. "Senior Brother, why don't we... just go through the motions?"

Yan Shaozhe: "..."

It seemed there was no escaping it. But he still wouldn't give up, asking, "Who designed this initiation ceremony?"

"Brother Lan," Huo Yuhao answered truthfully.

Yan Shaozhe gave up completely. A sect that could casually create a name like "Sacred Fire Meow Meow Sect" was certainly capable of this. Out of respect for the demigod, he didn't even use his soul power to set up a barrier. He looked up and shouted—

"The Sacred Fire shines bright, the Sacred Fire glows, all my disciples..."

"Meow, meow, meow, meow!"

As expected of a Super Douluo, his voice was so loud that heads popped out from the entire dormitory building. Who was acting crazy early in the morning?

"What are you looking at?" Yan Shaozhe said with an imposing air. "Don't you have classes? Anyone late today will be expelled!"

*Holy crap!* Why was Dean Yan at the dormitory building?

"Understood, Dean!"

"We're leaving now!"

"Stop sleeping! *Smack, smack, smack!*"

"Thank you, Foster Father, for saving our lives!"

...

Relying on his authority as Dean, Yan Shaozhe successfully suppressed the incident. Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong beamed with joy. Watching a "newcomer" suffer the same humiliation as them was truly delightful!

Huo Yuhao, however, looked embarrassed and complained to Zhuge Lan. "Can't we cancel this initiation ceremony? It’s too offensive to people."

"If they don't even have this bit of sincerity, my Sacred Fire Meow Meow Sect won't accept them," Zhuge Lan refused to budge.

Huo Yuhao fell silent. *Sigh...*

Brother Lan was great in every way, but this peculiar sense of humor...

"Junior brother, are we ready?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

Huo Yuhao nodded quickly. "Senior Brother, practice Tai Chi with us first; we can discuss the *Yijin Jing* later. However, I can only teach the first stage for now. I’ll have to wait until I reach a deeper understanding before I can pass on the second stage."

Yan Shaozhe’s eyes flashed. Huo Yuhao knew the second stage? He had previously claimed he only knew the first. Had the demigod taught him that when he visited earlier?

His thoughts raced. On the surface, Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement.

Huo Yuhao pulled him into the shared spiritual detection and began to explain the essence of Tai Chi.

"This Tai Chi emphasizes overcoming the hard with the soft, controlling motion with stillness, using four ounces of force to deflect a thousand pounds, and striking only after the opponent has initiated their move."

"It is like flowing water, continuous and unending, containing strength within gentleness, hidden but not revealed."

"It also has the effects of stimulating potential, awakening wisdom, invigorating the spirit, and strengthening the physique."

"But to master it, the intent is what matters most."

...

After the lesson, Xiao Xiao was completely lost. Wang Dong had gained some insight and was deep in contemplation.

[Fate of Wang Dong rewritten, +150 Luck Points!]

The one who benefited the most was actually Yan Shaozhe. The "harmony of Yin and Yang" within the Tai Chi philosophy caused his long-standing bottleneck to loosen slightly!

*This thing is absolutely extraordinary!*

The combat prowess Huo Yuhao displayed might just be a side effect. Its true value lay in cultivating the body, the mind, and the spirit! In the past, they could only make slight progress through sudden enlightenment or life experiences. Who would have thought it could be cultivated systematically?

A treasure! An absolute treasure!

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe could no longer sit still. He told Huo Yuhao to continue practicing on his own and flew toward Sea God Island in a rush.

He had to tell everyone about this! Especially those stuck at bottlenecks or with inherent flaws; they needed this Tai Chi intent even more!

Seeing that things were settled, Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to rest.

[Fate of Yan Shaozhe rewritten, +12,500 Luck Points!]

This was the Luck Points for joining the Sacred Fire Sect.

[Fate of Yan Shaozhe rewritten, +5,000 Luck Points!]

This was the Luck Points for Yan Shaozhe gaining insight into Tai Chi.

The amount was unexpectedly high.

"Brother Lan, it seems this Tai Chi is very effective for Senior Brother, isn't it?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I selected it with great care," Zhuge Lan said proudly. "A bunch of people who only know how to use skill templates—what do they know about the 'Way of Nature'? They rely entirely on their innate foundations to brute-force their way through. No wonder there are so few high-end combatants."
