The old professor was very surprised; the young man's words in front of him were insightful.

This was far better than his few students who only knew to act like silent bugs.

"Besides these, what else does Tai Chi Boxing need to focus on?" The old professor decided to test Lin Hai further.

Lin Hai smiled; it seemed the old man still didn't believe him.

"Too rigid is easy to break, but too soft loses the essence of Tai Chi."

"If it's for practical needs, Tai Chi Boxing also has very fast techniques, combining movement and stillness like Yin-Yang, with both offense and defense, these are the key points."

The old professor nodded to himself; the young man in front of him was quite impressive.

If... he could have him as a student, practice Tai Chi Boxing together and discuss it, it should be good.

"Young man, do you practice Tai Chi Boxing?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "My personality is not suitable for practicing Tai Chi Boxing; I walk the path of strength and dominance."

"Oh, it's a pity seeing your talent; Tai Chi Boxing can strengthen the body, but most importantly, it nurtures the mind, providing exercise for both mind and body."

Speaking, the old professor paused: "Young man, would you consider learning Tai Chi Boxing with me?"

"Haha, let's forget it, besides, your skills aren't strong enough to teach me."

Lin Hai spoke frankly, not thinking much of it.

"Ungrateful, Professor Chen is renowned in the National Martial Arts Association, taking you as a student, yet you are unwilling."

"Really unappreciative."

"Humph, judging by his appearance, he looks like a scavenger; what insight could someone like that have?"

A few students looked at Lin Hai with disdain, secretly mocking him, thinking he deserves to be poor forever, being a student of the old professor, not to mention learning something, the key is the network Professor Chen has accumulated over the years, which is enough to make them navigate society smoothly.

Lin Hai squinted his eyes slightly, not bothered to argue with such students.

"Humph, only knows how to use his mouth." The student with an unimpressive appearance seized the chance to add harsh comments.

The old professor furrowed his brows; his few students had decent talent but poor disposition.

He truly liked Lin Hai; his foundation seemed good, and this understanding of Tai Chi Boxing was something none of the students around him had.

"Not impetuous, calm and composed; such temperament for scavenging is too wasted." The old professor shook his head, the more he looked at Lin Hai, the more pleasing he found.

"Young man, would you consider it?" The old professor asked tentatively again.

Lin Hai politely declined: "Sorry, old professor, you truly can't teach me."

"Nonsense, talk about bragging; do you yourself practice Martial Arts?" The unimpressive student felt very envious, jealous, and hateful seeing the old professor cherishing Lin Hai.

Lin Hai didn't even bother to lift his eyelids for such people, calmly responding: "I know a little about Martial Arts, but it's just superficial."

"Humph, since it's superficial, shut up and don't embarrass yourself here." The female student added harsh words again.

"However, old professor, since it's fate to meet today, I can correct your mistakes in Tai Chi Boxing."

Lin Hai had no interest in talking nonsense with the female student.

The old professor's eyes showed excitement; he was indeed a Martial Arts enthusiast, so he said: "Good, I look forward to it, young man, do your best."

"Hehe."

This chuckle from Lin Hai caused the few students to frown again.

"The breath is distant." Lin Hai closed his eyes, slowly raising both arms to start the initial pose.

"A calm heart and peaceful spirit, without impetuosity, forgetting external matters."

Lin Hai muttered words, with hands moving slowly.

To an outsider, these movements, Tai Chi Boxing, all seemed the same.

But in front of the old professor, Lin Hai changed; it was as if just closing his eyes, one couldn't feel his presence.

"This level of insight..." The old professor's mind started to be amazed.

"Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds!"

Suddenly, Lin Hai let out a deep shout, both arms suddenly exerting force, giving a feeling as if casually pushing with both hands could easily knock over a small mountain.

The old professor's eyes shone with radiance, staring intently at Lin Hai.

"This..."

He questions himself, knowing fully well he couldn't achieve this.

As Lin Hai's moves proceeded in an orderly manner, in the old professor's focused eyes, it was as if Lin Hai no longer existed, only Tai Chi, within the earth and sky, in the campus small square, slowly moving.

"This... this... this is Tai Chi Boxing!"

The old professor's internal shock was beyond words, eyes wide open, afraid of missing any detail.

"Alright, let's stop here."

Lin Hai finished half a set, unwilling to perform any further.

If it weren't for the good nice of this old professor, he wouldn't have bothered teaching him.

"What's this, one look can tell it's inadequate."

"Haha, someone on such a wild path, how could they compare to Professor Chen?"

The students started mocking aloud.

"Silence!"

The old professor's temper flared, glaring at the students.

The few students timidly dared not make another noise.

"What do you understand?!"

After the old professor spoke, he ignored those restless students and focused entirely on Lin Hai.

"Young man, oh no, Master."

The old professor corrected himself.

This title left a few students shocked.

Master?

"May I know the esteemed name of the master?" The old professor very politely asked with hands clasped.

"Haha, I am no master, just call me Lin Hai."

Lin Hai replied with a smile.

However, the old professor's next words shocked everyone around him.

"Master, please accept this student."

After speaking, the old professor very respectfully bowed deeply to Lin Hai.

"This... how could it be!"

Liu Sangui's eyeballs almost popped from shock.

Professor Chen actually acknowledges a scavenger as a mentor?

What's happening? This is too unscientific!

"I do not take disciples, and your aptitude is not good."

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked again.

The illustrious honorary deputy chair of the National Martial Arts Association, Professor Chen, seeks mentorship, yet the opposite side is unappreciative and says such a thing?

Everyone was speechless, thinking Lin Hai is either too bold or too foolish.

Professor Chen's face showed deep disappointment and sigh.

Lin Hai's Tai Chi Boxing, only he can discern its absolute master-level, even higher standard.

This level, in all of Huaxia, is almost like a rarity.

If he could receive guidance from such a sage, his own skills would surely improve rapidly.

But alas, the person wasn't interested in accepting him as a student.

However, upon second thought, such a sage indeed has high standards.

Lin Hai felt it wouldn't be nice to beat down the elderly, so he said: "But, since I pick up trash with my sister at school, if I have time, I could give some tips."

"What!" Once again, the students were shocked, feeling Lin Hai's arrogance.

However, what shocked them even more happened next, as Professor Chen was overjoyed like crazy: "Really? That's great, here is my contact information, Master Lin."

Nearby, Lin Mengru was also stunned.

Brother Lin's performance was beyond her imagination; the usually lofty Professor Chen actually treated him with such respect and courtesy.
