is older sister had a tendency to flatter, but who doesn't like being flattered So he jokingly said to her, "Sister, you have a good eye for faces! I didn't realize you liked traditional culture.""Hey...After work in the evening, Wang Lin sent his ID card and photo to Wang Er Pao and then rushed to Chen Yan Nian's house.

"Master, what are we learning today" Wang Lin asked eagerly as soon as he walked in.

"No rush, did you look at the secret tips I gave you yesterday"

"Master, I've read it. It completely overturned my understanding of martial arts." Wang Lin admired Chen Yanshun more and more.

"Well, martial arts are killing techniques. They use the least cost to take away other people's lives. However, now that it is a society governed by law, there isn't so much fighting and killing anymore. Martial arts have gradually become about self-cultivation, nourishing one's nature, and strengthening the body."

"By the way, Master, could you tell me what "winter training through nine frigid days and summer training through three scorching suns" means"

"Well, it's quite simple. During the biting cold of winter, martial arts training not only strengthens your physique but also tempers one's resilience against the harshness of winter. It enhances the body's ability to adapt to the cold."

And due to the vigorous activity throughout the body, breathing deepens, digestive ability strengthens, and metabolism becomes vigorous, improving physical conditions. Consequently, health levels and athletic performance will also increase.

"I see, so it means to practice diligently without avoiding harsh cold or scorching heat, persistently and continuously."

"Yes," Chen Yanyan smiled, "it's not just about martial arts. This principle applies to everything in life, and you've already done it. Now all you need to do is keep going."

Wang Lin nodded heavily. "Master, you haven't said what we're practicing today."

"Haha, I digressed a bit just now. You've learned many martial arts forms and your theoretical foundation is very solid. As your master, I won't say more about that today. I'll directly teach you martial arts moves." Chen Yannian waved his hand towards Wang Lin. "Come with me."

"Good." Wang Lin followed Chen Yannian to the balcony. Looking at the arrangements on the balcony, he deeply realized that his master was not just talking.

In the most open space of the balcony, a standing scarecrow was placed. Its neck was wrapped with tape countless times, looking like a thick choker.

"The estimator probably fears breaking the fake person's neck, right No, based on his understanding of the master craftsman, the master is probably afraid of damaging it and having to buy another one. After all, a fake person is quite expensive."

Then he looked down, uh, Wang Lin's face turned black. The fake person's crotch was already tattered, and there were traces of being beaten on it. As expected of a master, specializing in hitting people's vulnerable points.

Chen Yen-nian walked in front of the dummy, “My kung fu has only one move, very simple, but also very practical, you watch carefully.”

Wang Lin nodded.

Chen Yanyan's two legs moved forward and backward, his legs slightly bent, his body slightly bent down. His two hands were raised, his left arm's elbow level with his shoulder, his palm tilted to the right, above his eyebrows.

The right arm is bent at a 90-degree angle and placed outside the chest, holding a fifty-centimeter acrylic ruler.

"Watch closely!" As soon as the words left his mouth, a kick aimed at her groin was launched, followed by a swift retreat.

Remember, no matter whether your attack is effective or not, you must strike and retreat immediately. Imagine yourself as an assassin with only one chance to strike.

He spoke as he stepped forward again, his ruler slashing directly at the dummy's neck.

Wang Lin nodded seriously, "Just like a fatal blow."

"Almost, but there's a slight difference. You need to know that your attacks might not be fatal. In this situation, don't think about going for the finishing blow, but focus on defending against their counterattack."

When you attack, the opponent will surely be prepared. At this time, your second strike will never be faster than the opponent's first strike. Remember this.

Wang Lin suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. As long as I attack and then retreat, the opponent can't keep up with my attack rhythm, meaning my next attack will still be like the first strike."

"Besides, even if the opponent comes after me, due to inertia, their attack style would be very limited. That's when I can better predict their moves and prepare a defense counterattack in advance, or directly dodge and counterattack."

Wang Lin became more and more excited, not noticing at all that Chen Yenan's expression grew increasingly awkward.

"NND, is this kid so intelligent I just wanted to finish the fight and run away safely, but he's already thinking about counter-attacks. There's such a huge gap between us"

However, he quickly composed himself and put his hands behind his back, feigning profundity as he said, "Indeed, in my world, the enemy will never seize the initiative."

"I ask you, if during an attack, the other side reacts and begins to counter, what do you do" Chen Yanyan said as he made a mock attacking motion towards the dummy.

Wang Lin hadn't really thought about the question, "What if I concede and withdraw"

"Wrong, utterly wrong. If your opponent can react when you attack, it proves that your attack itself was a failure." Chen Yannian shook his head.

"If I, your student, attacked you, how would you counter"

"I'll use my legs to control the distance," Wang Lin said without hesitation.

"Yes, that's when it's time to talk about footwork." Chen Yanyan said as he lowered his center of gravity and leaned sideways toward Wang Lin, swinging his arm swiftly in a quick motion.

"If you attack like that, do you think your counterattack could hit me"

Wang Lin frowned and pondered for a while, but still gave up. "No, it's impossible to hit at all."

"This is the importance of steps, when attacking, you need to be diversified. The more unexpected your attack strategy is, the more effective it will be."

"Just like that," Chen Yanyan's body began to sway back and forth, coupled with the swaying of his legs, Wang Lin couldn't find any flaws at all.

"When you have free time, practice more. Pay attention to changing things up, shaking left and right, jumping up and down—try it all."

"Everyone calls us Crazy Dog Fist, but I think Crazy Monkey Fist would be more fitting."

"Besides, the space here is limited, and I can't give you too many demonstrations. I copied a few training videos from your senior brothers in the martial arts school's surveillance. I'll add my contact information and send them to you later."

"Good"

"Master, why do people call us Mad Dog Fist I don't see anything crazy about it," Wang Lin said, puzzled.

"Haha, you hit the nail on the head! The most important aspect of our school is embodied in the word 'crazy'."

Chen Yannian was very pleased. This apprentice always asked questions that made him proud, greatly satisfying his need to show off.

Looking at Wang Lin's increasingly admiring eyes, Chen Yenan was quite pleased.

"The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the horizontal, the horizontal fear the resolute, and the resolute fear the fearless. So tell me, what do the fearless fear" Chen Yannian looked at Wang Lin and asked.

"Those who are fearless of death should fear nothing, after all, they have nothing to lose."

"Wrong, the most fearful thing is not death but madness. Do you know why Because a madman doesn't even understand what life is. Think about it, would you fight to the death with a madman"

Wang Lin didn't even think before saying, "Definitely not, who would want to be seen with a crazy person"

"Yes, so the crazy ones are the most powerful. Our school pretends to be insane during battles, and we can mentally crush our opponents. Isn't that awesome" Chen Yannian chuckled proudly.

As if to say, I'm a madman, and I'm proud!

Wang Lin's sudden enlightenment struck him like a bolt from the blue. Yes, though lunatics may have physical shortcomings, their minds are invincible.

For an enemy whose spirit has been broken, I estimate they wouldn't even be able to unleash 80% of their strength.

As expected of a master, they can inflict both physical and mental blows on their enemies even during combat.

"Master, how can I become a madman"

Chen Yannian heard this, and was suddenly speechless. This apprentice had just been so clever, how could he be so stupid now

"I'm not actually crazy, I just look like it. Forget it, here's the video, you'll see."

After saying that, he took out his phone and started operating it.

"There are quite a few videos, you can go back and watch them slowly. Master still has something to say to you."

Wang Lin nodded. "Master, you say, disciple listens."

If you consider the rules to be a circle, then if you've lived inside that circle for too long, it might feel a little uncomfortable when you first encounter my ideas. This is perfectly normal.

"Remember, never rush things and don't try to break the rules all at once. Otherwise, you will only find yourself in a bottomless pit. Everything must be done step by step, naturally. Your master will also help you more in the days to come. Understood"

Wang Lin bowed deeply. "Understood, Master. Thank you."

"Well, you're too calm, that's not good. I can see this isn't your true personality. Let me remind you, wearing a mask for too long makes even yourself believe it's who you really are."

Wang Lin was taken aback and quickly lowered his head, not expecting his master to have seen through even this.

Chen Yannian watched Wang Lin's movements, shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, Master doesn't know what you've experienced before, but from now on, with Master here, I hope you can return to your true self as soon as possible."

Listening to Master's words, Wang Lin buried his head deeper. He choked back tears and said, "Thank you, Master. From now on, you are my family, yes, my godfather!"

Chen Yannian was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "You mean listen to the godfather"

"Dad~," Wang Lin imitated the tone of a young and beautiful girl from a TV drama.

"Roll, roll, if you were a woman… Bah bah bah, women aren't good enough either! Get lost, or I'll beat you up." Chen Yannan got goosebumps all over and angrily cursed.

Wang Lin burst into laughter. "Master, aren't you trying to see your disciple's true nature Little brother has shown it to you!" He finished speaking and turned his head to run, if he was a little slower, some part of his body would probably hurt again in a while.

Looking at Wang Lin's embarrassed back, Chen Yannian burst into laughter. However, in order to maintain his image and not let Wang Lin hear it, he covered his mouth with both hands.

"Brat, that's all I can do for you. If you don't take off your mask, the road ahead will be hard." be wrong!He could only look to Wang Lin for help, but he found that Wang Lin was watching them with great interest at this time, not bothering the two of them at all."Wang Lin, I owe you a personal f...
