As he said this, Elder Chen himself wasn't entirely sure about the matter. He was genuinely in the dark. In fact, if Zhang Beixing hadn't visited today and demonstrated the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade right before his eyes, Elder Chen wouldn't have even known that his Chen Family's Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade could be practiced in such a way!

Upon hearing such a vague answer, Zhang Beixing actually sighed in relief. As long as there were no immediate problems, that was fine. As for the future, with the System on his side, Zhang Beixing would only continue to grow stronger, and the influence of the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade on him would diminish over time.

He was indeed curious, however: what would his Hidden Force evolve into if he continually practiced the Eight Pieces of Brocade with the Three-in-One Resonance? What should an endlessly growing Hidden Force even be called? Would there be a qualitative transformation?

But as of now, Zhang Beixing knew none of this; he could only explore it slowly.

Realizing this, Zhang Beixing looked at Elder Chen and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Chen Taishan. Your words have put my mind at ease!"

To this, Elder Chen waved his hand. "Guidance is too strong a word; I'm merely stating the facts of the matter. Even if I hadn't said anything, you would have discovered this issue yourself before long."

"You, my young nephew, possess truly frightening talent and comprehension to have single-handedly carved out a brand-new method of practice within the martial art of Eight Pieces of Brocade and to have successfully implemented it," he continued.

"Qi, blood, and Hidden Force, all resonating as one—a Three-in-One Resonance. This old man has truly never heard of such a thing.

"But alas, such a cultivation method demands an incredibly high physical constitution. As of now, looking across all of Great Xia, you are probably the only one capable of achieving it," lamented Elder Chen.

"Otherwise, this old man would genuinely like to try practicing alongside you and test the true power of this Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade!"

Looking at Zhang Beixing, Elder Chen spoke thus, his face unable to hide his admiration and appreciation, and even a hint of respect!

After all, if his memory served him correctly, it had been only one month since Zhang Beixing learned of the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade. Anyone else might not even have memorized the sequence of the form in this one month. But Zhang Beixing had already mastered the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade and even forged his own unique path from the original foundation!

Three-in-One Resonance Internal Boxing. A cultivation method for Internal Boxing that had never appeared in history! What an insanely audacious idea! Truly, masters walk among the living, but a single misstep can send them to the grave! Perhaps this is what the older generation of martial artists often meant by 'one must be mad to achieve greatness!'

Looking at Zhang Beixing, Elder Chen was filled with countless emotions.

He felt that Zhang Beixing's proficiency in the Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade had already reached his own level... No, it had even surpassed him! After all, he himself lacked the sheer audacity and the innovative ideas to attempt something as radical as the Three-in-One Resonance!

"Chen Taishan, you flatter me. I merely stumbled upon it by chance while studying your martial arts training videos. There's still considerable room for improvement. I'll need to seek your guidance more often in the future, so please don't consider me a bother!" Zhang Beixing responded humbly to Elder Chen's words.

Hearing this, Elder Chen laughed heartily. "Young nephew Zhang, you speak too modestly. Come whenever you wish; the notion of being a bother doesn't even arise."

After speaking, perhaps struck by a sudden thought, Elder Chen sighed and slapped his thigh. "It's just a bit of a pity!"

"A pity? What's a pity?" Zhang Beixing asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"It's a pity that this Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade of yours has no connection to Rourou. It's something you comprehended entirely through your own innate talent," said Elder Chen, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Originally, I was thinking, if your relationship was indeed so close—although it would severely violate the Chen Family's ancestral teachings—I could use it as an excuse to go with the flow and finalize your marriage, having you marry into the Chen Family. But now it seems..."

"Although it's true, young nephew Zhang, that you... 'observed and drew inspiration from'—let's not say 'stole'—our Chen Family's Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade. However, you've forged a path entirely distinct from the Chen Family's original. The forms are the same, yet the core is completely different. It's like the chasm between our Northern Sect and the Southern Sect; you've essentially established your own independent school."

"In such a case, the Chen Family's ancestral tenets naturally cannot be applied to you, so this matter must be dropped."

"Alas! I just hope that you, young nephew Zhang, will treat Rourou kindly in the future and not fail to give her the status she deserves!"

Elder Chen shook his head and sighed, his face full of regret.

Zhang Beixing felt quite sheepish upon hearing these words. Good heavens, so the old gentleman has been fixated on this matter all along? No, the relationship between him and Chen Rourou really isn't what you're imagining!

Looking at Elder Chen, Zhang Beixing was speechless. He didn't even want to explain anymore because, with such matters, he simply couldn't clarify them!

I really shouldn't have agreed to that wretched girl Chen Rourou's request to come to the Chen Family with her today! Zhang Beixing thought, glaring at Chen Rourou, who was hiding in the crowd. She flinched and offered a stiff, ingratiating smile, a mixture of apprehension and a desperate attempt to curry favor.

At the same time, a flicker of self-doubt crossed his mind.
