Chapter 1050: Chapter 962 Lin Tai Chi
Chapter 1050 -962 Lin Tai Chi
This scene is terrifying!
So many people watching!
Many in the audience, who initially thought this segment might just be a comedic act, began to feel nervous. Do you have to be so serious?
Of course.
Most people didn’t believe it.
“There must be a twist coming up, it’s probably just for laughs, right?”
“The production costs for this segment seem pretty high.”
“Right.”
“They can’t possibly be doing a whole Tai Chi Chuan routine.”
“In fantasy novels, there are dragons too. If this episode is going for a fantasy theme, are they going to make Xian Yu play a Dragon Rider?”
“Old rascal should die!”
Old rascal: “I didn’t expect to be dragged into this.”
Chatting continued.
And so did the nonsense.
The expression on the audience’s faces was:
I’ll quietly watch your performance.
Yes.
Even though the scene was very serious and felt real, the majority of the audience still thought this part was just part of a variety show script,
definitely, there would be some bizarre twist!
Maybe Xian Yu suddenly acts cute or goofy?
Or perhaps the production crew had Xian Yu rehearse a sequence of moves, add some special effects, and even possibly include a wire-hanging stunt, presenting it as a martial arts film.
While everyone was casually chatting.
On the martial arts stage.
Xian Yu, with a serious expression, faced the camera and made a gesture of clasping his fists.
The Tai Chi Salute!
Instantly, the audience was dazzled!
At the same time.
A drumbeat sounded!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The rhythm of the drum was slow, each beat hammering down as if striking everyone’s hearts!
“Is there background music too?”
“Could it be a new song?”
“This seems very serious.”
“It doesn’t seem like a goofy song.”
While the comments flew rapidly, an arpeggio interrupted.
Then followed a melodious, winding flute melody that echoed back and forth.
It stirred something in the audience’s hearts!
It sounded beautiful!
The intro was too beautiful!
It felt inexplicably exhilarating!
It was indeed a very normal reaction, as the intro they were hearing came from the song “Mr. Strong Man!”
Crafted by Lin Yuan!
Tracing back its origins:
It was the melody of the ancient tune “The General’s Order!”
The song was adapted by Huang Zhan.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
The original tune was the famously renowned “The General’s Order” from Earth!
Huang Zhan’s talent was unquestionable.
Under his adaptation, “Mr. Strong Man” was considered a classic by countless people!
You should know.
The year this song was released on Earth, it skyrocketed to extreme popularity!
Therefore.
Just with an intro.
The audience’s attention was already captured!
Suddenly.
Lin Yuan moved.
At the same time.
A bold singing voice arose: “Pride! Demeanor! Facing! A thousand! Heavy! Waves!”
It was Xian Yu’s voice, easily recognizable by everyone, followed by the others from the Yu Dynasty in chorus, repeating the same lyrics:
“Pride facing a thousand heavy waves!”
“Passion like the glow of the red sun!”
“Courage as firm as iron, bones as strong as steel!”
“Heart as vast as a hundred thousand zhang!”
“Vision as long as ten thousand li!”
“I strive to be a strong man!”
Amidst the singing, Lin Yuan’s movements were fluid like a landscape painting, each motion seemingly carefree yet full of intention; especially when his hand formed a fist and suddenly struck the air with the force of a thousand jun, fiercely landing in the empty space!
Solid stances as if immovable by any force;
Slow movements as if shedding all heavy forces;
Focused gazes as if the entire world aside from himself had vanished.
Motion!
Stillness!
Open!
Close!
Whether a straight shot, a downward shot, or an upward shot!
The camera kept switching angles in its shots.
Blue Star’s eyes were piercing, his body like a soaring dragon or a startled swan!
The unique aesthetic of Tai Chi almost broke through the screen, with each segment of music perfectly matching the movements!
Under perfect synchronization,
there was an indescribable sense of awe!
Blue Starian people had never seen a Tai Chi-themed TV series.
Had they seen such series, they would have recognized Lin Yuan’s movements as bearing the unique charm found in Wu Jing’s and even Jet Li’s Tai Chi TV series, and might even mentally substitute the aesthetics of Tai Chi performed by Jet Li and Wu Jing.
“Be a good man”
“Strive every day”
“Hot-blooded men”
“Shining brighter than the sun”
The song continued, still exquisitely synchronizing with the movements; indeed, Tai Chi could adapt to many types of classical music.
This song “Mr. Strong Man” didn’t have classical lyrics, but the lyrics matched the feel of martial arts and the melody was extremely classical, fitting without any issue. This was also why many Tai Chi performances liked using this song as their background music. Lin Yuan had hesitated over choosing a different song, but after much consideration, this one was the most popular and most likely to catch fire—he wanted the greatest impact!
He succeeded!
The audience’s eyes widened!
Their adrenal glands secreted wildly.
The barrage became dense in an instant, exploding, as nobody knew how the Blue Starian people would react upon seeing such Tai Chi for the first time. Lin Yuan’s movements seemed to captivate their souls!
“Ah ah ah ah!”
“Is this Tai Chi!?”
“Is this Tai Chi Chuan!!?”
“Insanely cool!”
“So they’re really practicing Tai Chi!”
“No special effects!”
“They’re actually fighting!”
“This is Tai Chi Chuan!”
People who had seen “Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer” certainly understood what Tai Chi Chuan entailed.
In Chu Kuang’s martial arts novels, all impressive martial skills were detailed, giving readers infinite room for imagination about what these skills felt like and the artistic concepts they conveyed.
Everyone of course had imagined what Tai Chi was like.
If before this, readers had thousands of imaginations about Tai Chi Chuan, now, all imaginations were unified!
Tai Chi had finally established its true form in their hearts!
What Xian Yu practiced was Tai Chi Chuan!
The true Tai Chi!
Everyone’s scalp tingled, hearts raced, and even their complexions turned flush!
The singing suddenly soared,
piercing eardrums and hearts, reaching the Heavenly Spirit Cover:
“Let the ocean and sky pool energy for me
To tear apart heaven and earth,
To forge my ideals,
See the mighty blue waves,
And vast sky expanding with soaring spirit,
I am the man who must be strong,
Stride forward, chest out,
Let us all be the pillars of society
…”
The climax of the song arrived!
Lin Yuan was in his element!
Every move like the “White Crane Spreads Wings” or the “Parting Wild Horse’s Mane”;
“Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg” or “Turning to Display the Lotus”;
There were also “Step Up, Seven Stars” to “Bend Bow, Shoot Tiger,” the strong Tai Chi style captivating everyone; with each punch and kick, the natural artistic conception resonated with the music, the song resounding to the skies:
Be a strong man!
Be a strong man!
With my full fervor!
Shine out a thousand points of light!
Be a good man!
Brighter than the sun!
The background music included shouts from the Yu Dynasty, which are commonly used exclamations in martial arts, placed in the song not only without awkwardness but also pushing the atmosphere to a burning climax:
“Hey!”
“Ha!”
“Hey!”
“Whoa!”
The shouts brought a rhythmic feel!
The scene suddenly changed again!
This time they employed martial arts filming techniques, showing everyone from the Yu Dynasty practicing Tai Chi Chuan, storming into Black Wind Guild. Each person showcased different Tai Chi movements. With their dazzling moves, they saved the girl who was in trouble at the start, leaving hundreds from Black Wind Guild on the ground, and the guild leader’s voice trembled in agony:
“What kind of bizarre boxing is this?”
“Rootless, with boundless natural techniques.”
People from the Yu Dynasty spoke in unison, the camera switching from one side to another, a classic montage transition, one side showing Lin Yuan finishing his performance at Wudang View, the other side showing Xian Yu standing in Black Wind Guild like a master in profound serenity, accompanied by two forceful and endless phrases:
“Tai Chi!”
When this shot ended, a close-up was given to the black and white Tai Chi pattern behind Lin Yuan.
The space transformed.
In the space of Tai Chi, Lin Yuan’s legs split front to back, one hand forward, the other back, suddenly flipping into a fist!
At this moment,
all the audience went mad, this was no longer just a variety show, Tai Chi was embodied by Lin Yuan, they were witnessing real Tai Chi—
Tai Chi truly exists in the world!!!

ps: Some classic movement descriptions referenced Jet Li (movies), Wu Jing (TV series), and Zhang Weijian’s Tai Chi-themed TV series; everyone can search for these videos on B Site or imagine for themselves, probably having seen such TV series. The song choice might be unexpected, but its original theme is “The General’s Order”; I really love this melody.
