Lu Daguo gently touched Lin Fung's wrist, closed his eyes, and focused on feeling the young man's pulse. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, furrowed his brow slightly, and said, "Your internal strength is insufficient, and you haven't practiced much internal cultivation, right?"
Lin Fung nodded wryly and admitted, "Yes, master. I used to find internal cultivation rather uninteresting. I only practiced a set of 'Long Fist Heart Method' and thought that throwing punches and kicks was the most exciting. But now, I deeply understand that internal cultivation is an extremely important part of martial arts. My understanding of martial arts is far from enough."
Lu Daguo nodded, knowing that young people often feel impatient with internal cultivation, but it is the key to becoming an excellent martial artist. He began to impart some basic internal cultivation techniques to Lin Fung, telling him how to train internal strength and improve internal control ability. Lin Fung listened attentively, knowing that these teachings would be very helpful for his future martial arts journey.
Lu Daguo carefully took out the book from his tattered clothes, the spine of the book already worn and showing signs of years of use. He handed the book to Lin Fung and said, "This book is a set of insights and experiences I have gained over the years while wandering in the mountains and forests. It contains my understanding and insights into martial arts. I hope you cherish it and consider it as a guide for your practice."
He knows deeply that this set of heart method has extremely important value for Lin Fung, and emphasizes again, "This 'Natural Heart Method' emphasizes the natural way of the Tao, with non-action as its foundation. To truly understand and obtain the real answers, one must deeply comprehend the philosophy within, and understand its subtleties with the heart."
Lin Fung receives the heart method, overflowing with gratitude, "Master, thank you for your generosity and teachings. I will definitely cherish this gift, deeply comprehend its principles, and bring it to its fullest potential."
Lu Daguo laughed heartily and patted Lin Fung on the shoulder, "Good, good, good! My good disciple, this is our fate, and also my hope for your future. In martial arts, one must always be humble and persistent in order to achieve something."
The exchange between master and disciple continued under the ancient pine tree, as they discussed the mysteries of martial arts and the philosophy of nature. Time passed gradually. For Lin Fung, this night was not only a valuable lesson, but also an important destiny.
In the following days, Lin Fung devoted himself day and night to the training of the Mountain Ape Fist and the study of the "Natural Heart Method." He would wake up early every day and silently practice his martial arts in the courtyard at home, and in the evenings, he would focus on reading the classics of the "Natural Heart Method." As time passed, he gradually underwent different changes.
In terms of martial arts, his movements became more fluid and natural. What used to be difficult transitions now seemed effortless, as if every move and technique had merged into the rhythm of nature. His martial arts style became more fierce, full of vitality, as if a mountain ape was shuttling through the forest, constantly challenging its own limits.
In terms of internal strength, not only has there been an increase in internal power, but there has also been a significant improvement in the control of internal strength. Although it has not reached the level of Lu Daguo, it has reached the level where he can control a piece of paper with both hands without letting it move around. Furthermore, the internal strength has begun to flow through the body, and each strand of internal strength is full of power and stability. This has made his martial arts more proficient, both in attack and defense, allowing him to make greater progress in every training session.
During the process of reading "The Natural Mind Method," Lin Fung's state of mind has also undergone a noticeable change. He has become more peaceful and has a deeper understanding of nature. He has started to pay more attention to his own inner state, learning to let go of anxiety and unease, and to keep his mind in a calm state. This calmness allows him to be more focused in training, concentrating his energy on improving his martial arts and internal strength. Father Lin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised by his son's transformation. The once restless Lin Fung no longer exists, replaced by a young man who is planned, goal-oriented, and full of confidence. He sees his son's efforts and perseverance, and his heart is filled with pride.
In the past, I only knew about the Lin Fung for physical fitness, gradually understanding the inner strength and mental balance, which are key to promoting my own growth. Lin Yuan deeply realizes that cultivating both internal and external strength is the only way for a warrior to grow, and his son is walking on this path, becoming more complete step by step.
Lin Yuan feels that his son seems to be taught by a master. Although he is a little curious about his son's mystery, overall, he is very satisfied with his son's progress. He knows that this is his son's own choice and effort, and all he can do is support and encourage him to go further and become a true warrior.
One night, the day arrived when Lin Fung had made an appointment with his master. The master was going to evaluate Lin Fung's progress and decide whether to continue further instruction. At midnight, Lin Fung arrived at the old pine tree on time, and before long, Lu Daguo also arrived. Lin Fung respectfully bowed and then assumed the starting position of the "Monkey Gazing at the Moon" stance from the Mountain Ape Fist. Lu Daguo smiled and also assumed the same posture.
The two stood under the ancient pine tree, bathed in moonlight, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Lu Daguo gazed deeply at Lin Fung, his eyes filled with anticipation. Lin Fung was filled with nervousness, knowing that this moment was crucial; the master was about to test his progress and potential.
In the midst of the martial arts dance, it's like two raging winds battling, each move filled with strength and agility. Lu Daguo's figure is as agile as a monkey, both attacking and defending, his punches and kicks darting like a monkey weaving through the forest, making it hard to predict. Meanwhile, Lin Fung demonstrates his refined practice in the mountain ape style, his strikes precise and sharp, each move as nimble as a mountain ape climbing through the trees.
Their moves alternate, the scene intense and fierce, with techniques raining down and punches and kicks roaring like thunder, each strike carrying the force of wind and thunder. In the moonlight, their figures are like those of warriors, fighting with a determined spirit. Lin Fung is completely focused, his internal energy flowing more smoothly, each move a result of his diligent practice, his breath and strikes in perfect harmony, flowing effortlessly.
Lu Daguo constantly gives guidance and pointers, his voice echoing in the mountains, making Lin Fung more focused. He points out Lin Fung's boxing techniques, telling him how to be more flexible in facing the enemy's attacks and how to use internal strength more effectively. Lin Fung listens to the master's teachings, constantly adjusting his boxing style to make it more perfect.
Suddenly, Lin Fung performs a set of "Ape King's Wild Dance." Although he still needs to refine his control of internal strength, he undoubtedly displays the wildness and power of the Ape King. His boxing style is like a violent storm, fast and fierce, as if an angry ape. Each punch and kick carries an immense sense of oppression.
However, Lu Daguo easily takes on this attack. His body movement is extremely agile, like a monkey, gracefully dodging Lin Fung's punches, each evasion accompanied by a sly smile. He doesn't truly counterattack, but instead waits for the right moment in the battle.
The battle had been going on for a long time, and finally, Lin Fung stopped his punches. He was breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead. Lu Daguo walked up to him, patting his shoulder. "Not bad, your Ape King's Wild Dance is starting to take shape, but it still needs more practice. Your internal energy control needs to be more precise, and your punches need to be fiercer," he commented.
Lu Daguo continued to advise him, "Training is a long road, and there's no room for impatience. To gain a deeper understanding of Mountain Ape Fist, you need to keep practicing and thinking. Balance internal and external training, internal energy and martial arts should complement each other. Only then can you elevate your martial arts skills to a higher level."
Lin Fung nodded in understanding, knowing that this period of training was just the beginning. He would continue to work hard and pursue higher levels. This was his promise to his master and his belief in himself.
