But some Traditional Chinese Medicine haters who had been “victimized” remained relentless and found a new angle to argue from.
“Although the streamer has a point, it actually proves that Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed in decline!”
“No matter how many reasons there are, they can’t cover up the fact that Traditional Chinese Medicine is no good.”
“Even if Traditional Chinese Medicine is real, the acupoints the streamer mentioned can’t possibly be real! With all the scientific experience in Western medicine from dissection and lab tests, how come they can’t prove the existence of acupoints?”
“Exactly. If you ask me, the streamer is just telling stories. There are no acupoints; they simply don’t exist.”
Looking at these bullet chats, Wang Bingbing felt a bit wavered again.
Traditional Chinese Medicine was just a derivative topic.
The existence of acupoints was the key issue.
How could something invisible and intangible be proven to exist?
Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but look up at Zhuo Yifan.
She felt a faint sense of expectation; she always felt that Teacher Zhuo was a bit different today.
At this time, the bullet chats in the livestream room became increasingly restless.
“That One Yang Finger must be something the streamer made up. How could such a martial art exist in the world!”
“I thought everything the streamer said was true, but it seems he’s just telling stories. Where in the world is there an Acupoint Striking Cultivation Technique?”
“No way, right? No one actually thinks that striking someone’s acupoints can defeat them, do they?”
Zhuo Yifan saw these bullet chats as well.
However, he wasn’t flustered at all; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh.
After taking a sip of water, Zhuo Yifan looked into the phone camera and said in a clear voice:
“Everyone, acupoints truly exist!”
“Acupoint Striking can indeed be used as a means of attack to defeat an enemy.”
“However, to achieve this, one more thing is needed!”
For a moment, the netizens in the livestream room looked at Zhuo Yifan’s confident expression, half-believing and half-doubting.
Some netizens couldn’t help but become curious.
“What exactly is that thing the streamer mentioned?”
“Stop keeping us in suspense!”
“As long as the streamer says it, I’ll send a rocket immediately! Please remember my ID!”
Zhuo Yifan was very satisfied with this effect. He looked into the phone camera, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, and said:
“The name of this thing is—”
“Internal Energy!”

#7Chapter 7 Holy crap! Is it this awesome after gaining internal energy?
Chapter 7: Holy crap! Is it really that awesome to have Internal Energy?
Internal Energy! Two simple words that left all the viewers present completely bewildered.
“Internal Energy? What is that?”
“I know there’s an Internal Energy concept in mechanics, but can that thing really be linked to acupoints? They have nothing to do with each other!”
“...”
Lines of bullet comments kept scrolling across the screen.
Wang Bingbing also looked puzzled.
After all, this timeline had no concept of Wuxia Internal Energy; they only knew of the internal force in physics.
No matter who it was, hearing that Internal Energy was related to acupoints would leave them bewildered.
Zhuo Yifan looked at the bullet comments scrolling on his phone, smiled slightly, and spoke:
“Everyone, don’t be anxious.”
“This Internal Energy is not that internal force!”
“My Internal Energy is also known as Dantian power.”
“You can all touch your stomachs. The position between two and three inches below the navel is where the so-called Dantian is located.”
As he spoke, Zhuo Yifan touched his own Dantian to demonstrate to everyone, then continued:
“Whenever we breathe, the Dantian moves along with it.”
“And those who practice martial arts generate a sense of Qi at the Dantian through long-term training.”
“Then, by controlling this sense of Qi to flow through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, constantly generating and strengthening it—that is Internal Energy!”
“Every time a cycle is completed, the Internal Energy increases. The application of Internal Energy becomes more like an extension of one’s own arm, following one’s wishes.”
Under Zhuo Yifan’s vivid description, the viewers in the livestream finally grasped the concept of Internal Energy, but they were still half-skeptical about his words.
“Streamer, is this Internal Energy really as mystical as you say?”
“It can even flow through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians? That’s too fake!”
“I don’t quite believe it either, but the streamer sounds logical and well-grounded; it seems like it might actually be a thing.”
“...”
Wang Bingbing also widened her eyes, looking at Zhuo Yifan with curiosity and confusion, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
Zhuo Yifan ignored this; he just needed the viewers to understand the concept of Internal Energy first.
As for whether the viewers believed it now, it didn’t matter; as he continued his explanation, they would believe it sooner or later.
Thus, Zhuo Yifan continued on his own.
“Once a person manages to Cultivate Internal Energy, they are no longer an ordinary person!”
“There have been people who, in the depths of winter when the world was covered in silver, walked at extreme speeds on half-a-meter-thick snow, yet left no footprints.”
“There were even those who could leap ten zhang in a single step, soaring into the air from flat ground, unlike ordinary people.”
“Infuse a withered leaf with Internal Energy and throw it with force, and it can pierce metal and armor, taking an enemy’s life!”
“A sword move containing Internal Energy, once thrust out, unleashes Sword Aura, making sand fly and stones scatter, with a chilling Killing Intent!”
“...”
Under Zhuo Yifan’s description, the image of a Martial Forest expert possessing Internal Energy appeared before the viewers.
Countless viewers were shocked!
“Holy crap, is it really that awesome after having Internal Energy?”
“Leaving no footprints on snow, killing with a plucked leaf? Damn, even anti-Japanese war dramas wouldn’t dare film like this!”
“Streamer, stop talking, just start the class! I’ll pay the tuition, teach me Internal Energy!”
“...”
The viewers were in an uproar, yearning for the Internal Energy Zhuo Yifan spoke of.
Regardless of whether Internal Energy truly existed, it was awesome, and that was all that mattered.
Not to mention, Zhuo Yifan made it sound so real.
Zhuo Yifan smiled and shook his head:
“It’s not so simple to Cultivate Internal Energy; it not only requires specific training methods but also needs to be paired with a Cultivation Technique. It cannot be achieved overnight.”
“However, once you succeed, you will be reborn!”
“In the ancient Jianghu, even seemingly frail women or small children, as long as they have sufficient Internal Energy, can easily kill ordinary strong men!”
“They are all known as those not to be provoked in the Jianghu!”
“And when an Internal Energy expert uses Acupoint Striking, they can make people unable to move, freezing them in place. To regain movement, either someone else must help unseal the acupoints, or one must use their own Internal Energy to break through them.”
“These are all basic common knowledge in the ancient Jianghu...”
Zhuo Yifan, like a storyteller, described the power of Internal Energy to everyone, leaving the viewers increasingly shocked.
Especially hearing that an Internal Energy expert could use Acupoint Striking to render someone immobile, they were left speechless.
Of course, some viewers revealed lewd smiles.
If you can’t move after being hit by Acupoint Striking, wouldn’t that mean... hehehe!
Just then, Zhuo Yifan suddenly said: “Everyone must know something about Bodhidharma, right?”
“It is said that Bodhidharma once broke a reed by the river and threw it into the water, then leapt onto it. The reed was like a small boat, carrying Bodhidharma across the river. This was actually a display of Lightness Skill driven by Internal Energy!”
Hearing Zhuo Yifan say this, the viewers couldn’t help but believe it even more.
“Good heavens, so this is the truth behind crossing the river on a reed! I thought it was just a legendary story!”
“Holy crap! When I read this story back then, I thought it was fabricated. Hearing the streamer say it, is it actually real?”
