Chapter 8: Introduction to the Fundamentals

n stared blankly at the gigantic restaurant before him, "Is this a restaurant This looks more like a building! It must be twenty or thirty stories tall!""Hee hee, there are 26 layers in total, each wi...At seven o'clock in the evening, after Wang Lin finished work and had dinner, he rode his tricycle to learn art.

"Knock, knock, knock," the sound of knocking woke Chen Yanyan up. He excitedly opened the door and let Wang Lin into his study.

"Master, aren't we here to learn kung fu" Wang Lin looked around. "Can we learn here There's no room to move!"

"Don't rush, a craftsman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do good work. How can powerful martial arts exist without a guiding principle" Chen Yenan sat calmly in the chair, waving at Wang Lin with his hand. "Sit down."

Although Wang Lin didn't understand at this time, he still obediently sat down. "Master, do martial arts manuals actually exist Are the stories in novels true Can one cultivate internal energy through martial arts manuals"

"Mind techniques do exist, but their main purpose is to guide people in establishing the right values and preventing them from harming others because of their own strength."

“It's like a shackle that binds a warrior's morals. If the shackle cannot restrain the warrior, they will use their own strength to gain benefits. At this point, their ethics and morality will be shattered by desire, falling into madness.”

"I see, disciple understands." Wang Lin nodded.

"Here's the martial arts secrets of our school. Take a look first, and ask me if you have any questions." Chen Yenan tossed a book in front of Wang Lin, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for meditation.

At this time, Wang Lin looked at the "Heart Method" in his hand, trembling slightly. He didn't know if it was excitement or anger. "Is this the Heart Method you spoke of Are you sure you haven't gotten the wrong one"

Chen Yen-nian opened his eyes and glanced at "No mistake, this is it."

But the book you gave me says Dragon Nation Penal Law! How could that possibly be a mental technique!

“This is our way,” Chen Yannian opened his eyes again, stating matter-of-factly, “Is there anything more effective than the law in controlling people Compared to other methods, I think the law can comprehensively control martial artists, and when it fails to do so, the authorities will naturally step in to apprehend them. I don't have to run around cleaning up messes myself, saving both time and effort. It's simply perfect.”

Wang Lin tilted his head and thought about it carefully. Well, he had to agree, the Criminal Law was definitely the most binding force in today's society.

"Okay, I'm starting to learn now!"

Wang Lin spent more than an hour reading a book and finally finished it.

He found that since his seal was broken, his learning ability and memory had been getting better and better, his spirit more and more ethereal, his thoughts clearer and clearer, and it was easy for him to immerse himself in doing one thing.

After more than an hour of hard studying, I can now recite it fluently.

"Master, I've learned it," Wang Lin raised his head and looked at Chen Yanyan.

But Chen Yenan seemed not to hear, and was still meditating with his eyes closed.

"Master!" This time, Wang Lin raised his voice slightly.

"Huh What's wrong" Chen Yanyan was startled and immediately sat up straight, looking around. Seeing no one else, he turned back to Wang Lin. "What's wrong Are you finished watching"

"Well, I'm done. Master, are you asleep" Wang Lin glared angrily at this cheap master.

"Oh, I'm getting older. I've been sleeping so much lately!" Chen Yanyan sighed.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it. "It's been over an hour already, time flies by so fast."

"Master, I have finished reading it and memorized it. What else do I need to learn" Wang Lin suppressed the resentment in his heart.

"Got it all memorized How fast!" Chen Yenan suddenly slapped his forehead. "Old, old! I forgot the most important thing. In fact, you just need to remember the twentieth rule. The rest can be simply understood."

"Master! You're not even old, you're in your prime! Don't act like an elderly person nearing the end of their life! Were you doing this on purpose! Just to mess with my mindset!" Wang Lin cried out, feeling deeply wronged.

“Young people are just quick-tempered, they need more practice,” Chen Yenan took a sip of water and continued, “Practicing martial arts is like swimming upstream, if you don't advance, you retreat. So it requires perseverance, relentless spirit, and an unshakeable determination. Understand”

Although Chen Yannian spoke with righteous indignation, Wang Lin clearly saw a glimmer of cunning in his eyes.

However, out of respect for his master, he didn't press further about "Article 20 of the Criminal Law is the right of self-defense, is this important"

"This needs to be ingrained in your bones, and you must put it into practice. Otherwise, it's easy to be labeled as a brawl." Chen Yannian's expression was extremely serious at this moment.

"Remember, the only one who can save you is yourself. Our sect has only one blemish - your foolish senior brother. And that's all we need." When it came to his senior brother, Chen Yenan flew into a rage and started cursing him.

However, upon further thought, he saw that the apprentice before him was a Awakened one, and his expression immediately shifted to one of relief.

Although you are a Awakened one, you probably won't use your abilities much during missions in the future. But what if you're not on a mission What if you encounter a robbery or someone being stabbed These things might not happen often, but it's better to be prepared just in case.

"As martial artists, we must possess integrity. When we see injustice, we must draw our swords to help others. This is the principle we adhere to."

Chen Yannian stared at Wang Lin, saying word by word, "If I knew that when you encountered injustice, you chose to stand idly by, even if you were an Awakened one, I would expel you from the sect."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but at this moment Wang Lin felt a surge of pressure coming at him. Chen Yanyan's figure seemed to grow abnormally tall.

"The disciple understands. From now on, I will definitely not disgrace the master's name!" Wang Lin stood up and solemnly bowed to Chen Yanyan.

Chen Yannian smiled with satisfaction, but deep down he sighed. "That's great, I'm going to write down all these words. If I can say a few of them during speeches later, heh heh, the scene will definitely be very satisfying. Indeed, I am the one with the most aura."

He stood up now and threw another comic book to Wang Lin. "Turn to the first page," he said. "I'll read a sentence, and you read it after me."

"Broad-minded and eager to learn,"

"Having impeccable morals and clear distinctions between right and wrong,"

"Be law-abiding and courageous in doing what is right,"

"It is joyful to help others and accumulate virtue through good deeds,"

"Diligent study and innovation, replacing the old with the new,"

"Dare to innovate, strive for excellence,"

"Cultivation, enlightenment, and self-perfection."

"The ceremony is complete. Now, go back and study this comic book carefully. Your master has poured all the essence of infinite fighting into it."

"Yes, as you wish."

"Oh my, don't get all fancy with the words, I'm not used to it. Let's call it a day here and go back for some rest."

"Remember, never start trouble and don't take the initiative to attack in any conflict. When provoked, create a situation that justifies self-defense so that the other party attacks first and you can retaliate." Chen Yannian reminded again.

I don't want to hear your defensive messages, understand

"Thank you, Master. I'll remember that," Wang Lin felt touched at this moment. Besides his parents and a few close relatives who were outside, Chen Yenan was the first outsider in the world to care about him. If one considered Master an outsider, then...

"Let's go! Let's go! Remember to close the door." Chen Yannan waved his hand and walked into the bedroom with a hint of gloom.

Wang Lin looked at his back, and his heart felt a strange pang. Wang Lin wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite smart, or else he wouldn't have gotten into a 211 university.

Although I just met Chen Yannian today, although he's a bit older and may seem disrespectful at times, he's truly genuine, unpretentious, and sincerely cares about me.

Wang Lin decided to adopt a different identity to interact with him, one that would allow both of them to feel at ease.

Well! How about making him our godson His age is just right, too. We can ask him next time we come. hadn't gone far when he saw an elderly man in a blue robe standing motionless in the middle of the road.Wang Lin didn't want to cause trouble. He stared warily at the old man and circled him from a d...
