Zeng Bonan was once the genius of Honghe No. 1 High School, and through hard work he reached Star Martial step by step.
But here, his proud efforts pale in comparison to the real gap in talent and resources.
When he chose B-Grade Body Tempering Method, he originally wanted to fight hard and shorten the gap, but reality gave him a heavy blow.
Xu Wuyi listened quietly without interrupting.
He can understand how Zeng Bonan feels.
When he chose <Hundred Refinements Furnace>, if he had not had the confidence of "Martial Dao Diligence Record", he might have doubted himself in the initial difficulties.
The difficulty of B-Grade Body Tempering Method is far beyond that of basic exercises. It requires understanding, foundation, and even luck.
Xu Wuyi thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember that when we first practiced martial arts, we learned <Basic Body Tempering Method>
How long did it take to find the feeling of Qi in the first pose?"
Zeng Bonan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xu Wuyi to ask this, he recalled, "Probably——
A week?"
"It's about the same as me." Xu Wuyi couldn't help but smile, "I was at the bottom of the class at that time, so I guess you are about the same."
"Yes." Zeng Bonan nodded with emotion.
He was indeed a genius at Honghe No. 1 High School, but if we push the time forward a little further, he was not even a genius at Honghe No. 1 High School.
Even after he was selected into the first class of high school and became the number one Life Energy Level in the first class of high school, teachers still commented that his talent was mediocre and that he got to where he is today only through hard work.
It's just that at first, the gap between everyone was not big, and he could make up for it with hard work, but now - the gap has become so big that he despairs.
Xu Wuyi looked at him and said, "At that time, we felt that one week was already very slow, and some students found it in one day. But looking back now, was that week of exploration really wasted?"
Zeng Bonan is thoughtful.
"The road to martial arts is not a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon." Xu Wuyi said slowly, "The speed of a moment cannot explain anything. B-Grade Body Tempering Method If it were so easy Entry Level, it would not be worthy of its B-level rating."
"Before I learned <Hundred Refinements Furnace>, I had to practice <Basic Body Tempering Method> more than a hundred times a day. I have kept this habit to this day----"
Xu Wuyi seemed to have remembered something and said again, "When we first played against each other in Battle Net, our attainments in <Basic Body Tempering Method> were actually about the same. What about now? Are you still practicing?"
"I----"
Zeng Bonan is a little confused. In fact, he also practices <Basic Body Tempering Method>, but the frequency is certainly not that high. He may only remember it after two or three days, and practice it a few times on a whim.
After all, there are too many martial arts to practice on a daily basis. <Basic Body Tempering Method> This kind of martial arts, which is not very efficient and has almost no gains, has long been forgotten by him in the corner.
"Keep going." Xu Wuyi solemnly said, "Don't limit your sights to short-term progress such as one month or two months. Martial arts practice sometimes requires just a bit of stupid effort. If you practice persistently, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes."
"You don't know what the future results will be. The rewards of persistence may only appear in one or two years, three to five years, ten or twenty years, or even not appear in a lifetime----"
"But, this is the only thing we can do."
"The only path to martial arts is hard work."
Zeng Bonan listened in a daze, and his clenched hands unknowingly relaxed a little.
He recalled his original intention when he chose the B-Grade Body Tempering Method. What he liked was its ability to build a solid foundation and accumulate experience.
It's only been a month now, and I'm so eager for success. It's true that my mentality is out of balance.
"I understand----" Zeng Bonan let out a long breath, and the confusion in his eyes dissipated a lot, replaced by a trace of determination, "I am too impatient. I always want to catch up with you as soon as possible, but I forget that the path I have chosen is a path that requires patience and accumulation."
He stood up and gave Xu Wuyi a solemn clasped fist salute. "Wuyi, thank you for waking me up."
Xu Wuyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Old classmate, there is no need to be like this. When the day comes when you are really confused, you might as well ask the teachers in the school, why don't you use so many resources in the university?"
Zeng Bonan nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
After seeing off Zeng Bonan who had rekindled his fighting spirit, Xu Wuyi looked at the time and entered Battle Net.
Today is the last <Body Forging Basics> class.
The consciousness sank into Star Martial Battle Net, and after the familiar sense of teleportation passed, Xu Wuyi appeared in the virtual lecture hall of the <Body Forging Basics> class.
The seats in the huge lecture hall were still full.
Although this course is coming to an end, most of the new students still maintain their original seriousness and no one left early.
On the podium, the person in charge of <Body Forging Basics>, Teacher Han, was talking about all the subtle points that may be encountered during the exercise process.
Some of this knowledge, Xu Wuyi had already understood under the guidance of Han Mo, and some of it was mutually corroborated with his own experience.
"Martial arts practice is like building a platform with soil. Every solid foundation determines the height that can be achieved in the future." Han Mo concluded at the end of the course.
"I hope you will remember the importance of the basics and don't aim too high. Today, the <Body Forging Basics> courses are all over. I wish all students a prosperous martial arts!"
After the words fell, the lecture hall was quiet for a moment, and then warm applause broke out.
Xu Wuyi also stood up with everyone and bowed slightly in the direction of the podium.
The course ended and everyone exited Battle Net one after another.
Xu Wuyi did not stop and was sent directly to [Lingyun Cottage-Jiasan].
In the bamboo house, the fragrance of tea lingered, and Han Mo was sitting in front of the coffee table as usual.
"Teacher." Xu Wuyi saluted respectfully and sat down opposite.
He did not exchange too many pleasantries, but directly stated several new difficulties he encountered while practicing <Hundred Refinements Furnace> in the past week, as well as some vague insights he had on the application of [Heart Fire], and stated them clearly and logically.
Han Mo held the teacup, listened quietly, and occasionally took a sip of tea.
After Xu Wuyi finished speaking, he put down the teacup and his eyes fell on Xu Wuyi. He still had the concise and concise style, and the key point was revealed in a few words.
The process of answering questions is still efficient and short.
In less than twenty minutes, all Xu Wuyi's questions have been answered.
He was about to bow out and leave as usual, but Han Mo rarely issued an expulsion order immediately. Instead, he looked at him and said, "I need to leave the school for a while and go to Astral Battlefield. It can take as little as one month, or as long as two months before I can come back."
Xu Wuyi was slightly startled.
Astral Battlefield----That is the front line of the battle between Federation and Alien Race. It is a dangerous place like a real flesh and blood millstone. Even if Han Mo is a Quasi-Grandmaster level powerhouse, going deep into it is by no means foolproof.
He subconsciously wanted to ask something, but when he saw Han Mo's calm eyes, he swallowed his words and solemnly said, "The student wishes the teacher a smooth trip and an early return."
Han Mo nodded slightly, said no more, and picked up the tea cup.
Xu Wuyi knew that this meant seeing off guests, so he bowed respectfully again and exited the bamboo house.
