150: Chapter 150 The scene of the meet-and-greet: The streets were packed with people, yet everything was in perfect order.

The Gathering in the Morning Light: The Beauty of Order in the Arrival of Thousands

As the morning light at Taiji Villa just crested the peaks of the Taihang Mountains, a winding line had already formed on the main road at the foot of the mountain. 5,000 lucky martial arts fans, dressed in uniform "traditional martial arts Guardian" t-shirts and holding their exclusive entry QR codes, were moving in an orderly fashion toward the villa entrance, guided by staff and volunteers from the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau. Although the streets were "crowded," there wasn't a hint of noisy congestion; there was only the excited whispering of the fans and the sound of smartphone camera shutters. Even the air carried the faint fragrance of the "Qi Energy Health Tea" exclusively supplied by Taiji Villa.

"Please open the 'traditional martial arts Meet-and-Greet' APP, show your entry code and health certificate, and proceed to the corresponding area after passing through the intelligent security check." The broadcast at the entrance played on a loop. Six "Qi Energy Security Scanners" were operating simultaneously—these were devices specifically developed by the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau. They could not only detect dangerous items but also perform a quick check of a fan's "Qi Energy Base Value" through palm contact, generating an exclusive "traditional martial arts Experience Report." When Amir from Egypt was queuing with his 10 children, the scanner screen displayed the prompt: "Qi Energy Purity 78%, suitable for experiencing basic Stance Training." The children clutched their reports, excitedly chattering around Amir: "Teacher, we can practice Stance Training with Master Chen Wu!"

On both sides of the entrance, 10 successors of Taiji Villa, dressed in traditional Taiji robes and holding "Taiji Welcoming Swords," greeted the fans with the opening Move of the "Taiji Thirteen Forms." Every time a fan passed security, a successor would lightly tap the tip of their sword, releasing a wisp of pale green Qi Energy that formed a miniature Taiji diagram on the fan's shoulder. This was not only a traditional welcoming etiquette but also served to briefly enhance the comfort of their Qi Energy. "This is 'Taiji Welcoming Energy,' which can help everyone relieve the fatigue of the journey." The display board behind the successor explained the etiquette. Fans stopped to experience it one after another. Nurse Emily from London said with a smile: "I felt tired just after getting off the plane, but after being enveloped by this Qi Energy, I felt much more comfortable instantly. The etiquette of traditional martial arts is so thoughtful!"

The global live broadcast of the "Entrance Perspective" recorded this scene in real-time: the long line moved in an orderly fashion like a dragon. The intelligent security scanners processed 30 people per minute, and the traditional welcoming etiquette seamlessly integrated with modern technology without any congestion. The live chat was filled with exclamations like "So much order!" and "I envy the fans at the site!" Data from the Technical Department showed that the entry efficiency was 20% higher than expected. All 5,000 fans entered the designated area in just one hour, far exceeding the average entry time for similar large-scale events.

Old Zhao, with his fellow workers from the construction site, held a banner reading "traditional martial arts Benefit the People" and took their seats in the "Worker Fan Zone." Looking at the fans from all over the world around him, he said excitedly: "I've never seen so many people who like traditional martial arts in my life. Look at that child from Syria; he is practicing the Stance Training taught by Teacher Chen, just like us. This is the power of traditional martial arts!" His fellow workers nodded one after another and took out their phones to film the scene, preparing to send it to the colleagues at the construction site who didn't make it, so they could also feel this excitement.

Stance Training Challenge: The Shock and Surprise of Thousands Practicing Together

At 9 a.m., the first core segment of the meet-and-greet, the "traditional martial arts Stance Training Challenge," officially kicked off in the intelligent training ground. 108 intelligent stances were crowded with eager fans. The big screen on the sidelines displayed the "Challenge Leaderboard" in real-time, divided into three lists: "Fastest to Standard," "Longest Duration," and "Steadiest Qi Energy." Chen Wu and Hamid stood on the main stage and explained the rules to the fans through the global live broadcast: "Everyone, adjust your posture according to the prompts of the intelligent stance. Once you meet the standard, the data will be automatically recorded. Whether you are a 6-year-old child or a 78-year-old elder, as long as you persist, you have a chance to make the leaderboard!"

As soon as the challenge began, cheers erupted from the sidelines. Li Mengmeng from the mountains of Yunnan led 3 children to be the first to stand on the intelligent stances. Although the children's movements were immature, they were exceptionally serious. The sensor points of the intelligent stance quickly lit up green, and the screen displayed: "Standard time: 1 minute 20 seconds, first in the children's group." Li Mengmeng hugged the children excitedly and said to the camera: "They didn't dare to practice Stance Training in front of strangers before. Now that they can make the leaderboard, I am so happy!"

The most amazing one was 78-year-old Taiji grandmother Zhang Guilan. She had practiced traditional Taiji Stance Training for 50 years. After standing on the intelligent stance, the flow of her Qi Energy was so steady that the intelligent device even issued a "Steadiest Qi Energy" prompt. The screen showed her "Qi Energy Stability Rate: 98%, exceeding the level of professional traditional martial arts students." Chen Wu walked up to her specifically and said with a smile: "Grandma, your Stance Training is even steadier than when I first learned it. Can you share the secret with everyone?" Zhang Guilan replied with a smile: "What secret? It's just practicing every day. Once the heart is set, the stance is naturally steady. The 'Body Upright, Qi Sinking, Heart Set' taught by Teacher Chen is the same as what our ancestors passed down. It is all truth."

The lens of the global live broadcast swept across the training ground. The scene of 5,000 fans practicing Stance Training at the same time was breathtaking. The green lights of the intelligent stances flickered like a sea of stars, and the pale green Qi Energy intertwined above the training ground, forming a huge Taiji Qi Energy diagram. In the live chat, fans who were not present sent "Virtual Stance Training Check-in" messages. The "Global Joint Practice Data" from the Technical Department showed that 8 million online fans were practicing Stance Training synchronously with the live broadcast, and the number of people practicing Stance Training globally exceeded 8.05 million, setting a new record in the history of traditional martial arts.

When the challenge ended, the leaderboard was settled: the children's group led by Li Mengmeng won the "Fastest to Standard Team Award," Zhang Guilan won the "Steadiest Qi Energy Individual Award," and Old Zhao and his fellow workers won the "Most Perseverant Team Award" with an "Average Stance Training Time of 30 Minutes." Chen Wu presented the signed "Stance Training Manual" and "traditional martial arts Guardian Badge" to the winners. Old Zhao took the badge, his voice trembling with excitement: "Thank you, Teacher Chen. We will definitely take more fellow workers to practice Stance Training when we go back, so that traditional martial arts can benefit more people!"

Story Sharing and Ancient Artifact Exhibition: Emotional Resonance and the Warmth of Legacy

At 11 a.m., the "Fan Story Sharing Session" kicked off on the main stage. 10 fans took the stage one by one to convey the power of traditional martial arts through their stories. The fans in the audience listened with tears in their eyes, and many people took out tissues to wipe the corners of their eyes.

When Hamid pushed his Qi Energy wheelchair onto the stage, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. He spoke in not-so-fluent Chinese about how the children in the refugee camp became brave through practicing Stance Training: "Before, the children were afraid of the dark and the sound of gunfire. Now they say, 'I know the Stance Training taught by Teacher Chen, and I can protect myself.'" He raised the Qi Energy sensor bead in his hand: "This was given to me by Teacher Chen. I will take it with me and teach more children to practice traditional martial arts, letting them know that no matter how difficult the days are, there is hope." The fans in the audience raised their hands one after another, wanting to donate traditional martial arts equipment to the children in the refugee camps. The Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau announced on the spot: "We will launch the 'traditional martial arts Hope Project' to provide free traditional martial arts teaching and equipment support for children in war-torn areas around the world."

When 65-year-old Wang Jianguo took the stage with the "Xingyi Fist Manual," Grandmaster Yang Mingyuan walked onto the stage to unfold the manual with him. On the yellowed pages, his father's annotations were clearly visible. Wang Jianguo choked up and said: "My father once said, 'Practice martial arts, first learn to be a person.' I didn't understand it before. Now, after watching Teacher Chen's live broadcast, teaching everyone to practice Stance Training and talking about martial ethics, I finally understand the meaning of this sentence—traditional martial arts are not used for showing off, but for being a person and for protecting." Yang Mingyuan picked up a pen and added on the manual: "Legacy continues, martial ethics lasts forever," and announced that this manual would be collected in the "traditional martial arts Museum" for permanent exhibition. Wang Jianguo bowed deeply with excitement: "Thank you, Sect Head Yang, thank you, Teacher Chen. My father's wish has finally been fulfilled today!"

Meanwhile, the "traditional martial arts Ancient Artifact Exhibition" area was also bustling. 20 ancient artifacts brought by fans were neatly displayed, and curious fans surrounded each exhibit. Zhang Wei from the United States used a 3D-printed energy technique model to demonstrate the "Xingji Collapse" from ancient manuals to everyone. Yamada from Japan explained Chen Wu's Stance Training Moves in both Chinese and Japanese in front of his own hand-drawn comic display board, attracting a large number of overseas fans to stop and watch. The most popular was the "traditional martial arts Interactive Experience Screen," where fans could use their fingers to "copy" the Moves from ancient manuals on the screen, and the intelligent System would provide real-time comments. Many children played happily, and parents said with a smile: "Learning traditional martial arts this way, the children are even more serious than playing games!"

In the live chat of the global broadcast, messages of emotional resonance flooded the screen: "Hamid's story made me cry!" "Grandpa Wang's manual is so meaningful!" "traditional martial arts are not just skills, but a spiritual Legacy!" Data from the Technical Department showed that the global viewership of the story sharing session exceeded 120 billion. Within half an hour of opening the donation channel for the "traditional martial arts Hope Project," it received 5 million yuan in donations from around the world, fully demonstrating the cohesion of the fan group.

Sudden Interlude: Warm Protection in Order

At 2 p.m., just as the "traditional martial arts Sparring Arena" reached its climax, a sudden interlude broke the rhythm. Carlos, a fan from Brazil, suddenly felt dizzy due to low blood sugar while sparring and nearly fell. The surrounding fans immediately gathered around, but there was no panic. Some handed him water, others brought sugar, and volunteers pushed the "traditional martial arts Emergency Vehicle" to the scene immediately. The "Qi Energy Health Porridge" and intelligent blood glucose meter equipped on the vehicle could quickly alleviate the symptoms of low blood sugar.

Chen Wu also walked over quickly and used the "Soft Energy Nourishment" from the Fusion Energy Technique, gently pressing on Carlos's wrist: "Don't worry, use the breathing method I taught before, inhale slowly, and sink your Qi to the Dantian." Carlos adjusted his breathing according to the prompt, cooperated with the health porridge, and recovered his energy after a few minutes. He said embarrassedly: "Thank you all so much. I didn't have time to eat in the morning to rush here. I didn't expect everyone to be so warm-hearted." The Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau immediately broadcasted to the whole venue: "Additional 'Energy Supply Stations' will be set up in all areas, providing free health porridge and snacks. Fans, please pay attention to replenishing energy in time."

This interlude not only did not disrupt the order but made the atmosphere at the scene even warmer. Fans reminded each other to "remember to eat snacks," volunteers took the initiative to deliver meals to the elderly with limited mobility, and even the children took snacks and shared them with strangers around them. The lens of the global live broadcast recorded this heartwarming scene. The live chat was full of exclamations: "So much love!" and "This is the unity of traditional martial arts people!" Many viewers said: "From order to mutual aid, this meet-and-greet let me see the best side of traditional martial arts."

After the interlude, the sparring arena continued. Carlos returned to the stage to spar with Chen Feng using Xingyi Fist. This time, he was in full spirits, incorporating the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into traditional martial arts. Although he was eventually defeated by Chen Feng, he won applause from the whole audience. Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your Moves are very creative. traditional martial arts need this kind of Fusion. We can communicate more in the future!" Carlos nodded with a smile and immediately expressed his intention to join the "traditional martial arts International Exchange Group" to contribute to the global Fusion of traditional martial arts.

Global Group Photo: The Perfect Conclusion of Thousands of People's Carnival

At 5 p.m., the meet-and-greet reached its final climax—the "Global Fan Group Photo." 5,000 fans at the scene stood in the Martial Arts Arena to form a huge Taiji diagram. Fans in each area held up small flags representing their countries or groups: the Chinese "Worker traditional martial arts Team" held up banners, the children from Egypt held up pyramid models, and the medical staff from London held up "traditional martial arts Rehabilitation" signs. The scene was spectacular and warm.

3 drones took off and formed the words "traditional martial arts Guardian" in the air. At the same time, the avatars of 8 million online fans around the world appeared in the blank space of the Taiji diagram through holographic projection technology, forming a "traditional martial arts Family Portrait" covering the whole world. Chen Wu stood in the center of the Taiji diagram, holding the inheritance grass, and said to the camera: "Today, we gather because of traditional martial arts. Tomorrow, we will walk together because of the Legacy—no matter if you are a fan at the scene or a friend online, you are all guardians of traditional martial arts, and we are all one family!"

All the fans at the scene shouted in unison: "traditional martial arts Legacy, Guard the Future!" The sound resounded through the Taihang Mountains, and even the birds in the mountains were startled, circling above the Martial Arts Arena, as if cheering for this grand event. In the live chat of the global broadcast, 180 billion viewers sent "Go traditional martial arts!" at the same time. A colorful river of light formed on the screen, reflecting the Taiji Qi Energy diagram at the scene, becoming one of the most precious pictures in the history of traditional martial arts.

After the group photo, the fans left the venue in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos—everyone consciously put their trash into environmental protection bags, and many people took the initiative to stay and help clean up the venue. Old Zhao took his fellow workers to help the volunteers collect the t-shirts and said with a smile: "We will come again next year, and we will bring more fellow workers!" Hamid received a new Qi Energy wheelchair donated by the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau. He pushed the wheelchair and practiced Stance Training one last time in the training ground with the children before leaving reluctantly.

As the sun set, Taiji Villa gradually returned to tranquility, and only the "traditional martial arts Guardian" banner on the Martial Arts Arena was still fluttering gently in the wind. Chen Wu stood in the center of the intelligent training ground, and the Four Symbols Qi Energy and Leyline Qi Energy at his Dantian resonated. He knew that this crowded but orderly meet-and-greet was not only a carnival for fans but also a new starting point for the Legacy of traditional martial arts—when traditional martial arts become a bond connecting people's hearts around the world, and when martial ethics become everyone's code of conduct, the light of traditional martial arts will eventually illuminate every corner of the world.

The final scene of the global live broadcast remained on the Taiji diagram in the sunset—the holographic projected fan avatars gradually dissipated, the fans at the scene left in an orderly manner, and the inheritance grass bloomed in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, with its eight-colored petals shining with a faint light. A line of neat text scrolled in the live chat: "Thousands gather in Taiji, order shows civilization; hearts connected by traditional martial arts, carry on the Legacy and Move forward!" This line of text was not only a summary of this meet-and-greet but also an expectation for the future of traditional martial arts, shining with warm and firm light in the afterglow of the Taihang Mountains.
