Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

Chapter 484 - 338: Wait, Why Should I?

As soon as ten athletes led by Su God spoke out,

The gradually fermenting topic suddenly shifted.

Many netizens who were still paying attention to this topic and wanted to know more suddenly came across the familiar names of Su God, Yang Zhen, He Jie, and others speaking up for Wang Ye, which immediately sparked their doubts.

On one side, people like Wu Yanni were verbally attacking Wang Ye, accusing him of teaching useless things like Tai Chi in training camp, while on the other side, Su God and others defended Wang Ye, saying that what Wang Ye taught provided them with very good technical references.

Who should they believe?

In this comparison,

The more powerful and established Su God,

Clearly had more credibility.

Moreover, Wu Yanni had only recently appeared in the public eye, and there was quite a bit of negative gossip about her.

So within just a few hours, most netizens gradually began to believe the statements from the athletes led by Su God,

But they were still very curious about what exactly Wang Ye taught in the training camp.

Why did athletes from both sides have different statements?

Besides, Su God did not deny that Wang Ye taught Tai Chi during the training camp. He merely stated that what Wang Ye taught was indeed useful.

Does this mean Wang Ye really taught Tai Chi in the training camp?

And according to Su God, Tai Chi even improved his performance...

Considering all the athletes’ statements, netizens’ brains were about to overheat.

[Wu Yanni’s side probably wouldn’t lie. Wang Ye did teach Tai Chi, but it’s possible he later changed the content of his teachings.]

[I doubt it. Su God’s words didn’t mention anything like that. If Wang Ye really changed what he taught, Su God would have mentioned it. It’s most likely he’s still teaching Tai Chi.]

[Nonsense, a top-level athlete like Su God would willingly learn Tai Chi from Wang Ye?]

[Learning Tai Chi from others is definitely unlikely, but learning it from Wang Ye... well, who knows...]

[Who is Wang Ye? He’s the Divine of sports. Even if he taught me Five Animals Qigong and Baduanjin, I would learn it.]

[But are these things really useful? Isn’t traditional martial arts all just hype? I remember scientific studies showing that five years of Tai Chi isn’t as good as one year of running.]

[That’s an exaggeration, buddy. Tai Chi and running don’t train in the same direction at all.]

[Then what do you say Tai Chi trains you in?]

[Well...]

[With current scientific understanding, it can’t be explained, but practicing Tai Chi can indeed make the mind clearer. My old man improved various chronic illnesses by practicing Tai Chi.]

[Isn’t there a possibility that the chronic illnesses you mentioned could also be improved by running, and perhaps even faster?]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible.]

[I can understand thinking traditional Tai Chi has no value today, but what Wang Ye teaches in Tai Chi might really contain something special?]

[Perhaps it was just Wu Yanni and others not understanding it, and the more capable Su God did. Isn’t that possible?]

[Indeed, I’m also wondering how Wang Ye could teach something useless. Honestly, with Wang Ye’s level, even if he taught us how to walk, it would have value. Those who don’t understand sports might not see it, but there’s something quite intriguing about the way Wang Ye walks, as if it contains many techniques worth studying in depth.]

[Are you crazy, buddy? You can study walking? Is he walking the red carpet, walking like a model? How impressive could it be to study?]

[You must be a crazy fan of Wang Ye.]

[I can understand, when you especially like someone, everything they do seems pleasing to the eye.]

[...]

[I can’t continue talking with fools like you, I’m out.]

Although online debates were raging, the trend of public opinion was indeed gradually leaning towards Wang Ye, given that Wang Ye originally had a fan base in the tens of millions, and naturally, they rallied around him when they caught the scent of the controversy.

Meanwhile, those athletes who had been sarcastically mocking Wang Ye suddenly found countless insults under their Weibo posts. Some bloggers who took the opportunity to criticize Wang Ye were also deleting their videos or articles, and those who couldn’t retract them in time quickly posted videos publicly apologizing.

The entire online trend seemed to change overnight.

At the same time,

Things looked different on Wu Yanni’s side.

Those who left the training camp early saw athletes led by Su God refuting them online, and countless netizens suddenly turning around to insult them,

They were dumbfounded.

They had seen Wang Ye teaching Tai Chi at the front with their own eyes; there was no way that was false.

But Su God and the others... what’s going on now?

How did they start refuting us and defending Wang Ye?

Have they all been bewitched by Wang Ye?

Athletes with Su God’s WeChat quickly went to message Su God privately,

To find out what on earth was going on.

But the replies they received were still in support of Wang Ye, identical to the statements Su God and his group posted on Weibo. Just saying that Tai Chi was useful and that they learned something.

But those who left the training camp early couldn’t possibly believe such nonsense.
