The next day, Wang Bin was woken up by the alarm clock. He quickly washed up and went for a run.
After completing a ten-kilometer run, Wang Bin once again approached his master, Li Zhengguo.
The moment Li Zhengguo saw Wang Bin, he had a feeling that Wang Bin had grown significantly stronger. It was hard to believe such a change could happen in just one day. He couldn't imagine how Wang Bin managed it.
Curious to test Wang Bin's strength, Li Zhengguo decided to skip the usual push-hands practice and go straight into a sparring session.
Wang Bin knew his master's skills were top-notch, though he wasn't sure exactly how high. With his current abilities, he couldn't gauge his master's strength.
Since his master's skills were far superior, Wang Bin decided to unleash his full potential.
"Please, Master, guide me!"
After bowing respectfully, Wang Bin launched a Diamond Palm attack towards Li Zhengguo.
Li Zhengguo noticed that Wang Bin's speed had increased significantly. Although he deflected most of Wang Bin's power with his punches, he could still feel that Wang Bin's strength had noticeably improved.
Moreover, he observed that Wang Bin's moves were more fluid and explosive than before.
After over twenty moves, Li Zhengguo had a good grasp of Wang Bin's current strength. However, to help Wang Bin, he didn't immediately use his ultimate moves to defeat him. Instead, he neutralized Wang Bin's attacks one by one, occasionally counterattacking to help Wang Bin understand the weaknesses in his techniques.
After fifty moves, Wang Bin felt it was enough and stepped back with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Could you please help me correct my Tai Chi?"
"Alright!"
Li Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction, speaking few words.
When Wang Bin demonstrated his Tai Chi, Li Zhengguo was once again astonished. It was remarkable that Wang Bin had improved his Diamond Palm so much in just one day, but his Tai Chi also seemed stronger than before.
Although Wang Bin's Tai Chi was still at the first level, his strength and agility attributes were at the peak of a second-rate expert, with agility even reaching the level of a quasi-first-rate expert.
Thus, his attributes compensated for his familiarity with Tai Chi. However, ultimately, his Tai Chi level wasn't as high as his Diamond Palm. After just over ten moves, Wang Bin's techniques were full of flaws, and he was left only defending against Li Zhengguo's frequent attacks, unable to counter.

Just as Li Zhengguo was about to stop, Wang Bin had a sudden inspiration: why not combine Crossing the River on a Reed with Tai Chi in a sparring match with his master?
As soon as the thought occurred, Wang Bin didn't hesitate and immediately used the lightness skill Crossing the River on a Reed.
In an instant, Li Zhengguo felt a blur before his eyes, and Wang Bin's figure suddenly vanished, while he sensed a force coming from the left rear.
Startled, Li Zhengguo quickly turned, facing Wang Bin with even greater speed. With a swift pull and push, he not only neutralized Wang Bin's punch but also sent Wang Bin flying back.
Wang Bin staggered back five or six steps before regaining his balance.
"Not bad, catching me off guard! However, you must understand that in Tai Chi, the greater the opponent's force, the easier it is for us to counter, and the more severe the opponent's injury. Your surprise attack was good, but you mustn't be careless, especially when facing a master. Never go all out; always maintain a balance of attack and defense to remain undefeated!"
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"
Wang Bin hadn't expected that even with Crossing the River on a Reed, he still wasn't a match for his master. It seemed his master also possessed impressive lightness skills, even faster than his.
If his master had used inner strength earlier, Wang Bin might have suffered serious internal injuries.
"By the way, was that a lightness skill you used just now? Which one was it?"
"Master, it was Crossing the River on a Reed."
"What, you actually know Crossing the River on a Reed? That's a Shaolin secret technique. Well, it makes sense. You already know Shaolin's Diamond Palm, so it's not surprising you know Crossing the River on a Reed too!"
It's considered extremely fortunate for someone to learn even one Shaolin secret technique, but he never expected Wang Bin to know Crossing the River on a Reed as well. And judging by the situation, both techniques were quite proficient. Honestly, even at nearly seventy years old, indifferent to many worldly things, he felt a twinge of envy towards Wang Bin.
"Let's continue!" Li Zhengguo wanted to understand how well Wang Bin had mastered Crossing the River on a Reed, so he asked Wang Bin to come at him again.
"Alright!" Wang Bin agreed and attacked once more.
This time, Wang Bin didn't limit himself to combining Tai Chi and Crossing the River on a Reed. Instead, he blended three martial arts together, sometimes using Tai Chi, sometimes Diamond Palm, and occasionally employing Crossing the River on a Reed to dart around Li Zhengguo.
Even so, Li Zhengguo remained at ease, and Wang Bin couldn't touch him at all.
After all, his skills were far superior to Wang Bin's. If he wanted to injure Wang Bin, he could do so at any time. But to train Wang Bin, he merely defended against Wang Bin's attacks.
As Li Zhengguo continued to help Wang Bin train, a group of over twenty teenagers dressed in white Taekwondo uniforms ran over from a distance. Leading them was a man in his thirties, seemingly their coach.
These people shouted slogans as they ran, occasionally performing a flying kick, drawing the attention of passersby who stopped to watch, some even taking out their phones to record.
Jin Bo was the coach of this group of teenagers. A few months ago, he came from Korea to H City in China to open a martial arts school. Having won many competition trophies in Korea and promoted his school, he quickly attracted many parents to send their children to learn from him.
A few days ago, while out for a run, he noticed that Chinese restaurants and businesses liked to have employees exercise in the morning, doing things like calisthenics, singing, and even organizing group runs. Seeing this, he thought of his martial arts school.
He figured he could imitate these Chinese business owners by taking his students out for a run in the morning, wearing uniforms with the school's name, to expand the school's reputation.
For this run, Jin Bo selected twenty-six students with good performance and brought them to Emerald Lake.
This place was popular for morning exercises and night runs, and he thought it was an ideal spot.
Indeed, his foresight was proven right. Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention, with even joggers and morning exercisers stopping to watch, greatly satisfying Jin Bo's vanity.
"Wow, look over there, two experts are sparring!"
"Wow, they look pretty impressive!"
"Impressive my foot, no way they're as good as our coach!"
"Exactly, the coach could kick them into the lake with one move!"
Seeing Wang Bin and Li Zhengguo sparring, Jin Bo was also taken aback. He quickly realized this was a great opportunity to boost his reputation, so he led his students, shouting slogans, towards Wang Bin and Li Zhengguo.
