In 2016, Guo Pu was recommended by her tutor to participate in the Pingyi Spring Festival Gala, when she was six and a half years old, during a TV audition. Unexpectedly, 李士龙 (Li "Mike" Shilong), a senior breaking coach who was a judge on the show, recognized her talent and encouraged her to switch to breaking. "At that time, I found this little girl to be amazing. She sang and played instruments on the show, which was very dynamic and musical, making her particularly suitable for breakdancing. Mike later approached her family, offered to teach her Breaking for free and was confident that she would love it. Xiao Pu went to his club the very next day, marking the beginning of her journey in Breaking.

After that, she met me and started learning street dance. From the beginning, she amazed me because she learned so quickly. But her grandmother didn't want her start breaking, because "it has a true bad reputation", after achieving some success she stopped objecting and her parents were also on her side.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reels/DSH7fOBF6aS/ Asia One Interview with Royal]</ref> Soon, six months later, she and a few other boys won a group championship, which boosted her confidence in dancing. After winning the award, I discussed with her parents whether we could send her to the street dance club every day. Unexpectedly, her parents were very supportive," 李士龙 (Li Shilong) recalled. At the age of seven when she was in first grade, Guo Pu joined the Linyi 0539 Street Dance Club (沂0539街舞俱) under the tutelage of him. [https://www.instagram.com/p/DRRulPakuFe/ Docu about 10yo Pu].

"I think my year of studying electronic keyboard and piano, along with my musical sense and foundation in Chinese ethnic dance, helped Teacher Mike discover my talent. Through his teaching methods he helped me developing this aspect of me and formed my current style," Royal recalled in an interview with WDSF in January 2026.

From then on, as soon as "Xiao Guo" (little fruit) got out of school, he would throw down his schoolbag and have her parents take him to the 0539 Street Dance Club founded by Teacher Li, who did this already for seven years. “She is quite talented and has a great physique. In addition, she has studied folk dance and double-row electronic keyboard, so she has a good sense of rhythm. She is naturally gifted to learn breakdancing.” Li Shilong still can’t hide his excitement when talking about the first time he met Guo Pu. “I didn’t misjudge her. She learns very quickly. She learned the first move I taught her, the ‘three-point support,’ in just one lesson. She also learned the ‘windmill’ move in one lesson, while other children need at least two months to learn it. More importantly, she has a light in her eyes, which is especially important for a dancer.”
