The boxing segment concluded.
Huo Xian was filled with doubt, his eyes betraying his astonishment.
However, remaining in the program, he maintained an awkward yet polite smile: "Ting Yu, are you interested in joining our Martial Arts Association?"
Su Yu was taken aback, then replied with a hint of helplessness, "But I haven't practiced martial arts..."
He never expected the other party to be so direct and immediately invite him to join the Martial Arts Association.
Still, practitioners of martial arts were indeed straightforward. They wouldn't beat around the bush like scholars.
"It's alright, a tall building starts from the ground. With your talent, I believe you can achieve something in martial arts within five years," Huo Xian said with a smile.
In fact, Huo Xian had already taken a liking to Su Yu before. Su Yu's song "Huo Yuan Jia" had truly saved the Martial Arts Association. At that time, the association's reputation had hit rock bottom. Although not as significant as the backlash faced by traditional Chinese medicine, without positive guidance, the Martial Arts Association's reputation would surely have been affected.
It was Ting Yu and Jiang Nan who showed everyone the true spirit of Wuxia.
Now, seeing Ting Yu's astonishing martial arts talent, Huo Xian was even more eager for him to join the Martial Arts Association.
Although martial arts emphasize the importance of "childhood training," with practicing from a young age being the best option, Su Yu's age was considered quite advanced for martial arts. However, his displayed talent was too immense. In Huo Xian's view, if Su Yu dedicated himself to practicing martial arts, with his talent, he could even shine in national competitions within five years.
"Your talent is so great, not practicing martial arts is a waste of it." Seeing Su Yu still looking troubled, Huo Xian couldn't help but grow anxious.
The audience, seeing Huo Xian's genuine interest, further recognized Su Yu's martial arts talent.
However, his fans knew that this person not only possessed astonishing martial arts talent but also excelled in other areas.
"Hahaha, the Calligraphy Association said the same thing. Ting Yu not joining the Calligraphy Association is a waste of talent!"
"The Poetry Association also said that. After all, Ting Yu once stood against so many cultural figures and crushed the entire scene!"
"The Opera Association says they are familiar with that statement!"
"Damn, I'm so envious. Is this the treatment of a genius? All sorts of associations are fighting over him?"
"These are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying is that Ting Yu's main profession is already close to reaching the pinnacle on the world stage!"
"This man is too outstanding, simply unparalleled!"
"I just want to ask, is there anything he *can't* do?"
"Speaking of which, Ting Yu can definitely be considered the most formidable in the entertainment industry."
"It's a shame that the entertainment industry also produced Jiang Nan. Although he doesn't match Ting Yu's versatility, he is also astonishingly talented!"
Indeed, as the audience said, this man's performance was too comprehensive; he was excellent in every aspect to an envious degree.
He seemed to be good at everything, with exceptionally high talent in all areas.
In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, only Jiang Nan could be remotely compared to him.
But in terms of overall talent, Jiang Nan was still far from catching up to the formidable Ting Yu.
"Thank you for the invitation, Senior Huo Xian. However, I currently only wish to achieve results in music."
Su Yu ultimately declined Huo Xian's invitation.
Of course, this was also within the audience's expectations.
Su Yu was just one step away from the pinnacle in music, so he would naturally focus more on music, and other matters would have to wait until later.
"What a pity... what a pity. You have the best martial arts talent I've ever seen. Come visit the Martial Arts Association when you have time. We have Tai Chi, as well as Huo Family Fist and Yong Chun, among other styles. Even if you don't join, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body." Huo Xian said with regret.
Although he was straightforward, he wasn't foolish. He was aware of Su Yu's achievements in music, so he could only let it go for now.
However, he hadn't given up entirely; he still wanted Su Yu to learn about martial arts first, hoping to pique his interest.
"Okay, I'll definitely visit the Martial Arts Association when I have the chance, Senior Huo Xian. We can have tea and practice martial arts." Su Yu couldn't help but smile, and he performed a martial arts practitioner's clasped-hand greeting to Huo Xian.
The small interlude between the two had exceeded the time allotted for this segment.
The host, receiving instructions through his earpiece, was being urged by the production team to move on to the next item.
Finally finding an opportunity to interject, the host quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Haha, it's incredible, our Teacher Ting Yu possesses such high talent in martial arts. However, compared to his martial arts talent, isn't Teacher Ting Yu even more astonishingly talented in music? The audience can't wait to hear Teacher Ting Yu's new song. Now, let's welcome the popular singer Gong Ju Ren with our warmest applause to bring us a wonderful performance!"
Television programs are different from online live broadcasts. If there are fixed time slots and delays occur, it will affect the subsequent programs.
Huo Xian, not being from the industry, naturally didn't know this, which led to the minor interruption.
"Haha, I wasn't considerate enough. Let's listen to the song first, and we can chat privately later." Huo Xian also realized that his invitation for Su Yu to join the Martial Arts Association had delayed the program's progress.
"Alright." Su Yu nodded in agreement.
He suddenly realized that, without him even noticing, he had already interacted with several associations.
The previous Opera Association went without saying; the old president treated him as a savior of the Opera Association. Then there were the Poetry and Calligraphy Associations. He had unknowingly become an honorary vice-president of these two associations, although it was just a nominal title, it was not something an ordinary person could achieve. And now, receiving an invitation from the Martial Arts Association, it seemed that Su Yu was indeed quite popular within official organizational bodies.
...
The stage props had been set up.
Similar to the previous "Ming Yue Tian Ya," there was a tavern setting.
Outside the tavern were prop rocks.
Surprisingly, Su Yu did not return to his seat but walked directly towards the backstage.
"What's going on? Is Ting Yu leaving already?"
"That shouldn't be the case. As an important guest, he should at least stay until the end of the program."
The audience was confused by Su Yu's actions.
However, in the next second, they saw Su Yu and Gong Ju Ren emerge from the backstage together.
At this moment, Gong Ju Ren was dressed in plain ancient attire, with a sword at his waist and a hairpiece on his head, his long hair flowing, giving him the appearance of a young heroic swordsman from ancient times.
Su Yu had also changed into ancient-style clothing and held a flute in his hand.
Only then did the audience realize that Su Yu had gone backstage to change his outfit.
Although he didn't have a hairpiece, this ancient attire, combined with his handsome face, also gave him the aura of a graceful young scholar.
Upon reaching the center of the stage, Su Yu and Gong Ju Ren exchanged glances. Gong Ju Ren's eyes clearly showed excitement.
Gong Ju Ren was now considered a seasoned performer on stage, capable of handling any large stage with ease.
But this time was different, because Su Yu was going to accompany him!
