Chapter 7: Seeking a Master
ough hardship, but many people still cannot pass the final step of the inner path. This last step is like a barrier, standing firm in the heart of every breakthrough cultivator. Therefore, this final...After the door opened, it was a plain-dressed middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"Thanks, little brother. Is there anything else you need" Chen Yannan took the package and asked in confusion.
"Hello, I'm contacting you because I want to ask if you are still accepting apprentices. I have loved martial arts since I was a child and have been practicing by watching movies, but I haven't seen much progress. So, I would like to become your student."
Wang Lin knew that Chen Yannian had also been self-taught when he was young, so he wanted to use this as a starting point to enable empathy with Chen Yannian, thus increasing the probability of success.
Chen Yen-nian smiled and said, "Oh What have you learned"
"I've learned Wing Chun, Bak Mei, Praying Mantis, and Iron Wire styles, but I only learned the forms. I lack true skill." Wang Lin said respectfully.
"What is your purpose in learning martial arts"
Hearing this, Wang Lin's heart leaped with joy. The fact that he asked like this indicated a willingness to take on an apprentice.
Thinking about this, Wang Lin continued, "When I was young, I learned boxing to be cool and become a hero. Now, I just practice to stay in shape. If I encounter danger, I won't be helpless."
When saying this, Wang Lin appeared extremely sincere. Of course, this was also what he truly felt.
After all, Chen Yenan has met countless people. Speaking insincerely in front of him would only make him feel disgusted.
"Very good, I'll take you as my apprentice, but tuition is due upfront." At this point, Chen Yannian had withdrawn his smile and instead wore a serious expression.
"Is that all it takes to be your disciple" Wang Lin felt a bit incredulous. Such a powerful master took disciples so casually Had he been tricked
"Don't look at me with that expression, I know what you're thinking," Chen Yenan said helplessly.
The other day, while I was taking a walk and chatting with someone, we got to talking about delivery services. Several people praised you, which also shows from the side that your conduct is upright.
"As for me, when I take on apprentices, I only value character. Whether or not they have talent doesn't matter. As long as they practice diligently, everyone will achieve results. So, do you understand"
"Understood, understood." Wang Lin immediately withdrew his thoughts and took a step back, solemnly saying, "Master, I pay my respects!"
"Come on, our school doesn't care about these formalities. When are you going to pay your tuition" Chen Yenan rubbed his hands excitedly.
"This..." Wang Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, still feeling something was off. He was already quite materialistic himself, he didn't expect Chen Yannian to be too.
In order not to be fooled, Wang Lin decided to first try Chen Yannan's level. "Master, why don't we practice first Let me feel it firsthand."
At this moment, Chen Yanyan seemed to see through Wang Lin's thoughts. This young man was bold and meticulous, cautious yet daring. In the future, he would either be mediocre or soar to great heights.
"Before he could even finish saying 'yes', a hand chop came down on Wang Lin's neck. Wang Lin instantly went dark, but he quickly reacted, taking two quick steps back.
"Master! You ambushed me, I wasn't prepared!" Wang Lin covered his neck and shouted.
Chen Yen-nian didn't answer Wang Lin. He knew Wang Lin had learned martial arts, and although his strike was only slightly forceful...
But Wang Lin shouldn't have just felt a little pain. A normal person should have fainted by now.
Immediately, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly said: "Are you an Awakened One"
"That's right," although Wang Erpao said to himself that this was called a breaker of seals, for ordinary people, it was still easier to accept calling them awakeners. At this time, Wang Lin did not refute, but generously admitted.
Chen Yannian excitedly grabbed Wang Lin's shoulders, "Good apprentice! Hahaha, heaven has blessed me, there is a successor, there is a successor! You must be my apprentice, you will definitely carry on our Infinite Fighting Technique and make it flourish! Definitely!"
At this time, it was Wang Lin's turn to be dumbfounded. How could a disciple of an Awakener be so excited
Little did he know, Chen Yannian had been troubled for a long time because his ideas were never accepted by the orthodox school.
Actually, it's no wonder Chen Yenan was excited. Many awakened individuals joined orthodox schools of martial arts. Although he was a master of martial arts, he was still just an ordinary person. To fight against awakened individuals who learned orthodox martial arts, he wasn't even a match for them in one move.
After defeating him, the opponent looked down and said, "No matter how skilled you are, I can break through it with sheer strength."
NNd, I almost made Chen Yen-nian furious back then.
"Master Shall we continue" Wang Lin was still unwilling to accept defeat. After all, he hadn't expected his master and apprentice to engage in a sparring session that involved sneak attacks.
"Good!" Chen Yanan suppressed his excitement, and with a swipe of his hand, he slashed at Wang Lin's neck. Wang Lin parried with his arm while simultaneously throwing a straight punch.
When he was about to hit Chen Yanyan, Wang Lin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and then rolled on the ground holding his belly.
Originally, Wang Lin had been guarding against a strike to his lower legs. However, at the same time Chen Yanyan's saber sliced through the air, the other hand flashed in front of Wang Lin's eyes.
He unconsciously blinked his eyes, and unexpectedly, with just that blink, the teasing leg was already in place, hmm, it did hit the stomach.
After all, it's a master-apprentice sparring session, so I couldn't go all out. I changed the strike location from a low kick to a more controlled blow. Otherwise, things could have gotten serious enough for someone to end up in the hospital.
"Master, you're amazing," Wang Lin was now crouching on the ground rubbing his stomach. "Thank you Master for the egg!"
"The disciple surrendered, scan the QR code, pay tuition."
Chen Yanyan waved his hand and smiled, "Tuition is waived. My dear apprentice, whenever you want to practice martial arts, just come. Your master is on call 24/7. But you have to practice with your heart. If you dare not, next time I won't show mercy. Let you see what a real yin leg is."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lin only felt a chill down his spine and assured, "Rest assured, Master. I will study diligently."
"But tuition is really free It's not that I need to do something, right" Wang Lin suddenly became alert again.
"No, no, you don't have to do anything. I just want you to call yourself my disciple after you finish your studies."
"This is no problem," Wang Lin patted his chest and assured.
"When are we going to start learning" Wang Lin was already eager.
"Let's wait until the evening. You still have to work during the day."
"Alright master, I'll come over after work tonight. I'm going to deliver some packages now."
Wang Lin bowed to Chen Yanyan again, then turned and went downstairs. "Hehehe, it's perfect. I can both deliver express mail and learn kung fu without wasting time."
Wang Lin was happily thinking to himself when he heard Chen Yanyan's awkward voice.
"By the way, ahem, remember to come back after dinner, there's no meal without you at home."
Wang Lin looked back, and Chen Yannian had already closed the door, probably afraid of meeting Wang Lin's gaze.
But Wang Lin didn't think much about it, since the other party didn't even collect tuition fees, and he felt embarrassed to go to someone else's house for a meal.
The gears of fate began to turn, and from this moment on, he embarked on a path of utter ruthlessness.
Back at the delivery truck, I saw Song Wenxiao had already left. There was nothing on top of my car, and when I opened the trunk, I found the packages for Yunlan District were gone. After smiling, I hopped on my tricycle and headed to the next stop.
Looks like I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight. Well, I'll send them a message in a bit.Yuhang. Anyway, he was tired of playing around."I understand. From now on, even if I target you, it will only be you personally. I won't involve anyone else."Seeing Wang Lin nod and put away the knife...
