However, this American scientist who didn't need to humble himself even before the president of the United States was now, thousands of miles away from American soil on Huaxia land, surprisingly swallowing his pride before an elderly Huaxian!
With this, Luo Chao became very curious about the true identity of this overweight elder, Jiang Tianming!
After scolding Nicholas Mirotic, Jiang Tianming turned his gaze toward Luo Chao.
Jiang Tianming's initially angry eyes instantly became kind and friendly upon seeing Luo Chao.
However, amidst Jiang Tianming's kind and friendly gaze, Luo Chao detected a hint of shock, thinking that Jiang Tianming must also be very curious about his identity.
After all, from his appearance, Luo Chao seemed like just an ordinary, slightly handsome young Huaxian. No one would associate Luo Chao's appearance with the versatile Soldier King of the Dragon Fang Team!
Looking at Luo Chao, Jiang Tianming asked in a calm tone, "Dr. Luo, I heard every word you said earlier. I agree with you that with my current health, only I can truly heal myself! But you mentioned earlier that I must practice Tai Chi to strengthen my body, yet I've never studied Tai Chi. Do I need to find a Tai Chi master to teach me?"
Upon hearing Jiang Tianming's words, Luo Chao couldn't help but laugh. Previously, he had thought Jiang Tianming would pose some difficult question to stump him, but it turned out he was only worried about never having learned Tai Chi and not knowing where to start!
Thinking of this, Luo Chao slightly smiled and said, "Old man, so this is what you're worried about. Don't worry. Since you don't know Tai Chi, I'll teach you!"
"You'll teach me?" Jiang Tianming's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing that Luo Chao was willing to teach him Tai Chi.
"Great, Dr. Luo, you must teach me Tai Chi today. My body feels terrible, and I can't wait to start practicing Tai Chi so I can recover soon!" Jiang Tianming sighed.
Then, as if something occurred to him, Jiang Tianming quickly added, "Dr. Luo, if you can teach me Tai Chi today, rest assured, I, Jiang Tianming, will never treat you poorly. Money, luxury cars, villas, beautiful women, I can provide as much as you want! I, Jiang Tianming, always repay my debts, and my word is my bond!"
However, what Jiang Tianming didn't expect was that Luo Chao, after hearing his words, merely smiled and said, "Hehe, old man, there's no need for that. Healing and saving lives is a doctor's duty. Even if you don't give me a penny today, I'll teach you Tai Chi!"
In fact, Jiang Tianming had no idea that with Luo Chao's understanding and skill in Tai Chi, having him personally teach Tai Chi was not something money could buy!
Still, Jiang Tianming was unaware of these hidden truths. Seeing Luo Chao unmoved by such financial temptations only deepened his admiration for Luo Chao's noble spirit!
"Young man, you're knowledgeable and talented, yet you remain true to yourself in the face of societal temptations, without losing your original aspirations. You're truly rare! A genuine talent! Our Huaxia needs more talents like you so our nation can stand proudly among the nations of the world!" Jiang Tianming beamed with a pleasant smile, constantly praising Luo Chao.
However, if Jiang Tianming knew what Luo Chao was really thinking, he might be angered to death!
Deep down, Luo Chao thought, "If there were more people like me, just forget about making Huaxia stand among the nations; it'd be amazing if the world wasn't in chaos!"
Of course, even though Luo Chao thought this way, he naturally couldn't voice it, so he feigned nonchalance and said, "Old man, you're too kind. Let's skip the small talk, and I'll teach you how to practice Tai Chi right now!"
"Great, great!" Jiang Tianming repeatedly agreed. "Dr. Luo, please begin your demonstration!"
"Then I'll start!" Luo Chao removed his obstructive white coat, took a deep breath, and assumed a Tai Chi starting posture. "Everyone, I'll now demonstrate a set of Chen-style Tai Chi. If you're interested, feel free to learn alongside!"
With that, Luo Chao began practicing Chen-style Tai Chi in the spacious ward.
Everyone present, even Nicholas Mirotic, who had previously opposed Luo Chao, raised their heads, eyes wide open, focusing intently on Luo Chao's every move and listening to his every word.
In the ward, as Luo Chao continued practicing Chen-style Tai Chi, he said, "When practicing Tai Chi, balance the entire foot on the ground. Don't put the weight on the forefoot or heel; that can lead to leaning forward or backward."
Crackling sounds!
As Luo Chao's Tai Chi practice delved deeper, his body emitted popping sounds like frying beans, and he continued, "Secondly, maintain a correct posture, shoulders relaxed, elbows slightly bent, abdomen tucked, pelvis slightly tilted, gaze level, as if a string is pulling from the top of your head. This ensures comfortable and smooth breathing when practicing!"
With synchronized hands and feet, Luo Chao's Tai Chi moves flowed seamlessly like clouds and water.
Reaching a critical move in Tai Chi, Luo Chao intentionally paused and said to the crowd, "With moves like turning the toes and the hand's want-to-rise-but-first-fall motion, they shouldn't be forced. Use the waist to drive the shoulders, shoulders drive elbows, and ultimately the hands follow. When the waist naturally moves, the toes will follow!"
Then, Luo Chao directed everyone's attention to his lower body, saying, "When practicing, keep the balance centered between the feet. Keep knees relaxed when shifting weight, powered by the waist. Knees shouldn't surpass the toes, to prevent knee injury."
"During semi-steps, bend the knees and keep the toes poised, ready to change direction. The footwork in Tai Chi involves arching paths whether advancing or retreating; the feet stay low, grazing the ground."
Continuing his practice, Luo Chao said, "In Tai Chi, ensure the body's various arcs can strike out or retract smoothly, maintaining versatility. Each move shouldn't be a soft display with no force, nor rigid without follow-through, but should instead hold potential and tension!"
"So, my personal suggestion before learning Chen-style Tai Chi is to practice Silk-Reeling Force and Posture first. Experiencing such power will make learning easier!"
