I am Really a Superstar

Chapter 962: Gaining a junior martial sister out of nowhere!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Old Rao's house.

The floor was a complete mess.

The watching Chenchen and Yang Shu were shocked from the start until the end by this battle of Rao Aimin versus Zhang Ye on the tabletop!

Chenchen immediately asked, "Aunt, did you win?"

Rao Aimin said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Ye said, "Your aunt didn't even give it her all."

"The two of you…" Yang Shu found it simply unbelievable.

Suddenly, Yang Shu thought of something before she finally managed to react. She stood up from her chair in an instant. "You are Grandmaster Rao Aimin!"

She finally recognized her!

Or more precisely, she had figured it out!

She had never seen Rao Aimin before, but had heard very many rumors regarding her. Moreover, she knew very well just how strong a Taiji Fist expert who had achieved concealed power was. But even so, he still could not beat her? Other than the opponent being a martial arts grandmaster, there was no explanation for this. Besides, everyone knew that there was only one female grandmaster in the entire Chinese martial arts world. According to the rumors, this female grandmaster had a rather close relationship with Zhang Ye!

As such, who else could she be other than Rao Aimin from the Eight Trigrams School?

Yang Shu felt extremely shocked as she never expected that she would encounter an expert who practiced Taiji Fist, nor unwittingly witness a spar between a Taiji Fist master and a Chinese martial arts grandmaster!

Zhang Ye looked at Yang Shu curiously and answered her question from earlier. "I should be asking you instead. Who are you really? And why do you know Taiji Fist?"

Rao Aimin looked at him. "Does she?"

"There's no mistaking it!" Zhang Ye affirmed.

Rao Aimin did not quite understand Taiji Fist, so she asked, "But why does her form look quite different from yours?"

"There are some differences in the moves, but it's really Taiji." Zhang Ye said earnestly, "That, I'm sure of."

Rao Aimin nodded. Since Zhang Ye was the expert in Taiji, if he said it was, then it definitely was!

Yang Shu's kung fu had indeed startled Zhang Ye!

She really did know Taiji Fist!

On top of that, her martial arts were very good and she was probably not too far off from achieving the use of concealed power!

Zhang Ye had not expected that a Taiji expert would suddenly pop out of nowhere like this!

In his previous world, there were many martial sects and styles of Taiji Fist. The most well-known ones were the Chen-style Taiji Fist and the Yang-style Taiji Fist. They specialized in different areas and had slightly different combat methods from each other. In fact, the Taiji Fist Skill Experience Books from the game ring that Zhang Ye had "eaten" were not considered Chen style nor Yang style. It did not specifically belong to any of the Taiji Fist styles. His Taiji forms were seemingly a combination of the different styles of Taiji Fist and drew upon the strengths of each to make up for the weaknesses of each. In other words, Zhang Ye's Taiji Fist covered a huge area and encompassed nearly every style. The other styles of Taiji Fist could be observed in his Taiji Fist as he knew a bit of every one of them. But as Zhang Ye was not a martial arts enthusiast in his previous world, nor learned Taiji, he did not quite understand the differences. As such, he could not tell exactly which style of Taiji Fist Yang Shu's style belonged to in his previous world. However, upon further consideration, it was not actually practical to compare the Taiji Fist styles of both worlds. After all, they were unique in their own ways and should be looked at as they were.

Zhang Ye could see this.

Yang Shu naturally understood as well!

After the two Taiji Fist experts had sparred and saw each other's moves, they knew very clearly that they both belonged to the same branch!

"Who taught you Taiji Fist?" Yang Shu did not care that Rao Aimin was here anymore and fired off, "Why is your Taiji Fist so much better than mine? Who are you really?"

Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "I am Zhang Ye, and that is who I shall always be known as."

But Chenchen exposed him. "Didn't you say that your name was Chen Zhen during the Martial Arts Conference?"

Zhang Ye's face turned red. "…Can you not bring that up?"

Chenchen laughed, "Hur hur."

Yang Shu immediately asked, "Who is your master?"

"I don't have a master," Zhang Ye answered.

Yang Shu said, "That's impossible!"

Zhang Ye returned, "And who did you learn Taiji Fist from?"

Yang Shu clenched her teeth and said, "It was handed down through my family!"

Handed down through her family?

Rao Aimin narrowed her eyes. "What is the relationship between you and the Taiji grandmaster from over a hundred years ago?"

Zhang Ye stared at Yang Shu as he had wanted to ask this question for a while now.

Yang Shu proudly proclaimed, "My ancestor!"

Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Are you serious?"

Yang Shu said, "Of course I'm serious."

Holy shit!

So this woman was the true successor of Taiji in this world!

Zhang Ye wondered, "Then why didn't you show up in our martial arts world all this time? Why didn't you open a training hall? Why did you make everyone think that Taiji Fist was lost for good?"

"I…" Yang Shu looked rather embarrassed. "I have no money to open a training hall."

No money?

Oh, alright.

That was a fair enough reason!

Curious, Rao Aimin asked, "Other than you, is there anyone else who can be a successor of Taiji?"

Yang Shu pondered for a moment and shook her head before saying a little sadly, "My parents have already passed away. I'm the only Taiji Fist successor left now." Then she looked at Zhang Ye. "He's the second person I've seen who knows Taiji Fist. And the forms, skills, and moves of Taiji that he used earlier, I, I haven't ever learned of most of them! My family never taught me them."

Zhang Ye asked, "Why not?"

Yang Shu explained, "My family lived in seclusion and had never been involved with the martial arts community. My parents' generation were not talented at martial arts and only practiced it for the sake of strengthening their bodies. Much of the knowledge that was passed down from my ancestors has been lost. There's probably only about 30 to 40% left of it."

Rao Aimin made a noise in acknowledgment. "Why does he seem more authentic than a true successor of Taiji Fist like you?"

Yang Shu pulled a sullen face, saying nothing.

Zhang Ye started to feel a little uncomfortable. If he did not make something up, there was no way he would be able to trick his out of this. He couldn't possibly claim that he had learned Taiji Fist all by himself from nothing, could he? And so, this fellow said, "By chance, I received a Taiji Fist manual and learned the fist and qi flow techniques in it by myself."

Yang Shu said excitedly, "Where's the manual now?"

"Uh, I lost it," Zhang Ye said nervously.

Yang Shu was instantly disappointed. "That manual was probably handed down by my ancestors!"

Rao Aimin said, "If that is true, then could it mean that the two of you might really be from the same martial arts branch?"

"I guess you can put it that way." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Those of Taiji are one big family. Other than the two of us, no one else in this world knows Taiji Fist." When he thought of this, Zhang Ye looked at Yang Shu in a much more affectionate way. Such an affection was really difficult to describe using words alone.

Yang Shu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Rao Aimin taunted, "Then why don't you two battle it out? Whoever wins can proclaim themselves as the true successor of Taiji, and I can help you promote your martial arts when that time comes!"

Zhang Ye had no reply.

However, Yang Shu said, "I'm no match for him."

Rao Aimin said in all sincerity, "Young people should be more confident. This rascal has not recovered from his injuries yet, so it's a great opportunity for you to wrestle back the right of being the true successor of the Taiji Fist. I believe in you!"

"Big Sis Rao. " Zhang Ye said in a speechless manner, "Can you say things that will gain you some karma instead?"

Meanwhile, Chenchen had had her fill and was getting sleepy. "Aunt, I want to take a nap."

Rao Aimin voiced her understanding. "Alright, I'm not going to deal with your Taiji affairs anymore, so settle this between yourselves." Then she led Chenchen upstairs to rest.

Seeing that, Zhang Ye said to Yang Shu, "Let's go to my place."

"OK," Yang Shu said.

...

Next door.

At Zhang Ye's rental apartment.

"It's been a long time since I've come back here, so it's a bit messy. Feel free to take a seat." Zhang Ye quickly tidied the place up a little and picked up the things that were scattered around on the small sofa and his bed.

Yang Shu did not sit.

Zhang Ye asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Yang Shu suddenly looked at him and gave him a fist and palm salute. She shouted a salutation that made Zhang Ye feel awkward. "Senior Bro!"

Senior Bro?

What Senior Bro!

Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "Please don't call me that."

Yang Shu insisted, "It doesn't matter where you learned your Taiji Fist. The two of us are still practitioners of Taiji. You said so earlier yourself that those of Taiji are one big family. And now we're the only two left in this world who know Taiji Fist. Since you're slightly older than me and your martial arts are also slightly…much better than mine, you are naturally my senior bro!"

"Just call me Zhang Ye."

"Yes, Senior Bro."

"You can also call me Old Zhang."

"OK, Senior Bro."

Zhang Ye smacked his lips. "Forget it, just call me whatever you like."

Yang Shu replied in a serious tone, "Senior Bro, now that we are the only two left of Taiji, we have a very heavy burden to bear. We are tasked with glorifying the martial art of Taiji Fist again. In the past, I always thought that I was the only person left to shoulder this heavy burden. But now that I've met you, I know that this is something that concerns both of us. My only dream in this lifetime is to make Taiji Fist become famous everywhere. I've decided that I won't be leaving anymore now that I'm here in Beijing! I know that you must have the same thoughts as me, so let's work hard, hand in hand, toward that goal!"

Ah?

Bear a heavy burden?

Tasked?

I've never had such a fucking thought!

Zhang Ye coughed and said, "I think it's better to take it slow."

"Senior Bro, can you teach me Taiji Fist?"

"Don't you already know how?"

"What I know is not complete."

"Oh, sure then."

"Senior Bro, please lend me some money."

"What for?"

"I don't have any food money."

"Uh, is 2,000 yuan enough?"

"Yes."

"Alright, here you go."

"Senior Bro, I don't have a place to stay."

"Ah? Then what're you gonna do?"

"Can I stay here at your place?"

"Stay here?"

"Yeah. Isn't your house empty?"

"…Fine."

"Senior Bro."

"Big Sis, what else?"

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to call you that."

"…"

He had gained a junior martial sister out of nowhere, but lost his wallet and apartment in the process. Zhang Ye was still reeling from the turn of events. Without knowing how, things had somehow fucking become like this!

When he first saw Yang Shu, Zhang Ye felt that she was a rash person. But it was only now that he realized his instinct was right. This woman truly considered him family!
