At most, they were very curious about how exactly Ouyang Feng’s Toad Skill was performed. |
They had heard of Monkey Boxing, Mantis Boxing, and so on, but this was their first time hearing of Toad Skill. |
Does such a martial art really have any power? |
It was no wonder they thought this way; after all, in their understanding, there was no such thing as Internal Energy. |
Naturally, they couldn’t imagine that Toad Skill could have such power. |
It wasn’t until Zhuo Yifan continued to introduce the Southern Emperor and gradually revealed the concept of Internal Energy that they suddenly understood, and immediately became completely excited and stirred up. |
“Next, we introduce the Southern Emperor. The Southern Emperor was originally an emperor of Dali in Yunnan, named Duan Zhixing. His famous unique skill is the One Yang Finger, which is the martial art passed down by the Dali Duan Clan. After channeling his power, he uses his right index finger to perform Acupoint Strik... |
As soon as Zhuo Yifan finished speaking, it immediately sparked a heated discussion in the livestream. |
The reason was simple: in Zhuo Yifan’s description of the One Yang Finger, it involved acupoints. |
Regarding acupoints, their first reaction was to think of Traditional Chinese Medicine. |
And there has always been controversy over whether Traditional Chinese Medicine is actually effective. |
This time, it just happened to hit a sore spot. |
“Streamer, to be honest, I believe everything else you say, but I really don’t believe in this Acupoint Striking! Modern science has yet to prove the existence of acupoints!” |
“Yeah, if these so-called acupoints really existed, then acupuncture would definitely be effective. But pardon me for being blunt, the acupuncture I’ve encountered has been useless.” |
“It’s not just that acupuncture is ineffective; those Chinese medicines are useless too. They’re all scams operating under the guise of Traditional Chinese Medicine!” |
Countless viewers were filled with righteous indignation, as if they had found an outlet, venting their resentment in the livestream. |
However, at the same time, another group of viewers immediately retorted. |
“Are all the people above haters of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Traditional Chinese Medicine is something left behind by our Old Ancestors; how could it be useless?” |
“Exactly, exactly! If Traditional Chinese Medicine were useless, then how were the ancients cured when they got sick?” |
“I have a friend whose wife almost couldn’t get pregnant. They went to many hospitals and couldn’t get it fixed, but they met an old TCM doctor who gave his wife a prescription. After three months of treatment, she got pregnant. Are you saying Traditional Chinese Medicine is a scam?” |
“I also have a friend...” |
Some viewers even started to speak from personal experience, giving examples of friends around them or themselves being cured by Traditional Chinese Medicine to refute that group of “TCM haters.” |
But for the TCM haters, it was hard for them to believe these things. |
After all, this was the “I have a friend” series; who knew if it was made up? |
Both sides stuck to their guns, and the entire livestream turned into a chaotic argument. |
“Teacher Zhuo, what should we do now?” |
Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but look at Zhuo Yifan with worry. This was her first time seeing over 20,000 people arguing in a livestream—such a big scene. She was afraid the situation would get out of control and be detrimental to Zhuo Yifan. |
Zhuo Yifan, however, looked calm and smiled nonchalantly. |
It was just an argument; it was a very normal thing. |
The more they argue, the more popular it gets! |
Negative publicity is still publicity! |
Moreover, he still had his trump card waiting to be played. |

Chapter 6: When “Internal Energy” First Appears in Wuxia |
Sure enough, as dense bullet chats flashed across the screen, Zhuo Yifan noticed that the number of people in the livestream room was increasing rather than decreasing. |
The number was approaching thirty thousand! |
This was the highest number of viewers Zhuo Yifan had ever seen in his livestream since becoming a streamer! |
You see, although he had a million followers, most of them were video fans accumulated through video edits. |
After all, tour guide commentary is a very niche category; unless they were veteran travelers, few people would consistently follow a tour guide’s livestream. |
He was also jokingly called the “most pathetic million-follower streamer” by his old fans. |
Although he still couldn’t compete with the platform’s super-streamers, the ranking of his livestream room was steadily climbing. |
Its popularity was also rising rapidly! |
Seeing more and more netizens pouring in, the livestream room might actually hit number one! |
If that really happened, he wondered how much System popularity reward he would receive! |
Zhuo Yifan felt a faint sense of anticipation. |
Of course, as the number of people increased, the bullet chats drifting across the screen became more intense, venting dissatisfaction with Traditional Chinese Medicine frauds. |
Zhuo Yifan expressed complete understanding. |
But how could Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has left such a profound mark on the five-thousand-year history of Huaxia, be ineffective? |
It’s just that good Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors are too rare. |
Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes Legacy. |
After the ancestors’ medical skills weathered the passage of time, very little has truly been passed down. |
Coupled with environmental pollution, the survival conditions for Chinese medicinal herbs have become increasingly harsh. |
Some recorded Chinese medicines have even gone extinct because of this, vanishing from the world. |
For various other reasons, doctors who truly understand Traditional Chinese Medicine are becoming fewer and fewer. |
This is why netizens always encounter scammers operating under the guise of Traditional Chinese Medicine. |
At this moment, the netizens in the livestream room finally remembered Zhuo Yifan, who had started the topic. |
“Streamer, say something! If you hadn’t mentioned Acupoint Striking just now, we wouldn’t be arguing like this.” |
“If you ask me, the streamer is just talking nonsense. There’s no such thing as acupoints; it’s all fake.” |
“I don’t know much about Traditional Chinese Medicine, but Teacher Zhuo has always been a man of his word. I believe him.” |
Seeing more and more netizens sending bullet chats calling for him, and some old fans joining in by calling him Teacher Zhuo like Wang Bingbing did. |
Zhuo Yifan knew it was time to provide a conclusion, so he cleared his throat and said calmly: |
“acupoints do exist, and Traditional Chinese Medicine is effective; it’s not a scam!” |
As soon as he said this, the bullet chats in the livestream room exploded. |
“I knew this streamer was a fraud. I shouldn’t have believed his nonsense. I’m out of here.” |
“There are no acupoints in this world. They’re just things you’ve hyped up. Stop lying to us.” |
“The streamer must be saying this on purpose to echo the acupoints in his story.” |
The moment these bullet chats appeared, netizens immediately began to retort. |
“The streamer is telling the truth. Watch if you want, and if not, get lost!” |
“Traditional Chinese Medicine has existed for so long, and you still don’t believe it? You’re truly beyond help.” |
“Teacher Zhuo just talked about so many characters; he didn’t have to mention acupoints, but since he did, he must have his reasons.” |
Looking at the dense bullet chats, Zhuo Yifan couldn’t help but say: |
“Everyone, don’t worry. Listen to me.” |
“Is the reason some of you in the livestream room loathe Traditional Chinese Medicine because you’ve all seen Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors before, but it had no effect?” |
Suddenly, a series of identical bullet chats appeared in the livestream room. |
“Yes.” |
“And Traditional Chinese Medicine medications—I sent some to a Western medicine institution for testing, and many were toxic!” |
“Unscrupulous Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors cheat me of my money and harm my life!” |
Zhuo Yifan smiled faintly: |
“That’s exactly the key point.” |
“For example, take the common dandelion. The roots and leaves have the same chemical components but different effects, which Western medicine cannot explain. This shows that while the Western medical approach of testing components is well-founded, it cannot be rigidly applied to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory.” |
“In addition, many precious medicinal herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine are now nearly extinct, so naturally, there’s no way to treat the corresponding illnesses. This is a natural disaster.” |
“Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes Legacy but lacks Systematized standard theories. Even famous ancient doctors often had their own opinions, letting a hundred flowers bloom. Today, this has instead become an opportunity for scammers. This is a man-made calamity.” |
“It’s clearly a matter of natural and man-made disasters, yet you blame Traditional Chinese Medicine and say it’s problematic. It’s like blaming the quality of wheat on a drought. Don’t you find that ridiculous?” |
At this moment, the netizens in the livestream room were stunned. |
“The streamer makes a lot of sense. As a veteran Traditional Chinese Medicine hater, I’m actually speechless.” |
“Hearing the streamer say this, why do I suddenly feel like crying?” |
“I feel bad for Traditional Chinese Medicine too. I’ll be a Traditional Chinese Medicine fan for life from now on!” |
“As expected of Teacher Zhuo!” |
Seeing Zhuo Yifan resolve the argument in just a few words, Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but admire him. She quietly sent this bullet chat, thinking that things should finally quiet down now. |
