"Grandmaster, I prefer martial arts to my family," the young man replied respectfully.
"The Di Youwen Family?" Garon was slightly moved. This was a very famous family. They were one of the top ten families in the Confederation and often appeared in the newspapers. The family was one of the founding fathers of the country and had great power. They were considered a giant in the South. He didn't expect someone from this family to be his disciple.
"When did you join the White Cloud Gate?" Garon frowned.
Simon was shocked. He knew that there was a misunderstanding and quickly explained.
"Teacher, Yuan Reis joined us when Keling and I were working together to take care of the sect. It was after the battle between you and Andrela. He joined us as an ordinary student then. I found out that he had great potential, so I suggested it. Then something happened and he became my disciple. "
"Oh?" Garon didn't expect it to be so early. He glanced at Yuan Reese. The young man's eyes were deep, but there was a hidden determination. His gaze was sharp and unwavering. It was obvious that he was a person with a strong purpose.
"There are so many sects out there, but you chose the White Cloud Gate. Is there a reason?" He asked directly, not hiding his suspicion.
Yuan Reese was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered.
"Yes, I'm good friends with Sister Felicity. She was the one who introduced me here to learn martial arts."
"Oh, Felicity." Garon was stunned. He immediately recalled the noble and naughty girl. "It's normal if it's her. How is she now?"
"She's fine. She's just locked up at home and can't go out," Yuan Reese replied gently. This young man seemed to be gentle and weak no matter what he said. He was also very handsome and didn't look like a boy at all. If it wasn't for his Adam's apple, people would probably think that he was a girl in disguise.
He looked at Yuan Reese and Qi Lina. The girl was cold and the boy was gentle and beautiful. Both of them had the same determination in their eyes. He didn't know if their apprenticeship represented their family's interests or their own wishes more.
"You're in good spirits. If you work hard, you should be able to achieve something before the age of twenty. Let's see if you can persevere. " Garon nodded in satisfaction. No matter what, one of them represented the complete surrender of the local forces, while the other represented the strength of the top external forces. The White Cloud Gate would not have any problems with just these two people. This was especially true for Yuan Reis. As one of the top ten families in the Federation, he had also joined the White Cloud Gate. This was a form of recognition for the entire White Cloud Gate and Garon.
"Grandmaster, since you're here, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it." Yuan Reese lowered his head respectfully.
"What is it?" Garon was in a good mood at the moment, so he nodded and agreed.
"It's about the key elements of martial arts. What is the most important thing for a martial artist? What is the key factor that determines a martial artist's progress? "Yuan Reese went straight to the point.
Not only Garon, but Simon and Curling were also slightly surprised. The fact that Yuan Reese could ask such a question meant that he was extraordinarily mature.
Garen carefully sized up this beautiful young man. From his eyes, he could see a strong will and perseverance that was unstoppable.
No one spoke for a while in the martial arts hall. Only the faint sound of breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
Yuan Reese tried his best to maintain eye contact with Garen. Although he looked relaxed, he was actually under immense pressure. Every time he breathed, he felt as though he was carrying a heavy burden. Sweat slowly seeped out from his temples and slid down his face.
He had once had eye contact with his uncle, who was a lieutenant general, and experienced the pressure of power. However, it was not as terrifying as it was now. He had also faced the family leader, who was a councilor, but it was not as heavy as it was now.
Unlike them, when he faced his grandmaster, Garon, there was also a terrifying sense of threat.
Yuan Reese had goosebumps all over his body. It was as if there was a bottomless abyss in front of him and he would fall into it if he tilted his body.
"Your family did not support you to come here and become a disciple, right?" Garon suddenly asked.
Yuan Reese was shocked. He bit his lower lip.
"Yes, they strongly objected to it. I sneaked out."
"This …" Simon and Curling were slightly shocked.
Yuan Reese was backed by one of the top ten families in the federation. It was not an ordinary family.
"Didn't you say that they agreed to let you come here?" Simon was a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, master." Yuan Reese lowered his head helplessly and apologized. "I was too stubborn." Actually, he didn't really plan to join White Cloud Gate. He just wanted to have some fun and take it as a distraction. He didn't expect Simon to take a liking to him. After a casual chat, the two of them unexpectedly hit it off.
Simon didn't say a word and directly promoted him to be his disciple.
Anyway, he did not know the importance of the relationship between a disciple and a master. Yuan Reese did not value this relationship too much. The two of them started to teach the White Cloud Gate Mammoth Secret Technique without knowing what was going on.
When Yuan Reese gradually realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. After learning the White Cloud Gate Secret Technique experience and taking the Quenching Pill, he could no longer break away from this relationship.
Just as he and Simon were about to break off their relationship, Garen's reputation outside had also spread to this place.
Their relationship as master and disciple had become a situation where they could not back down.
Thinking of this, Yuan Reese looked up and exchanged glances with Simon. Both of them were speechless.
If Yuan Reese left now, it would be equivalent to betraying the sect. Rosetta's ending had already frightened Simon. Even Yuan Reese, who had just found out, quickly requested to be brought over to meet Garon.
Garon smiled and did not seem to care.
"Regarding your question, I can tell you my answer. However, every true martial artist will have their own answer. "
"Grandmaster, please go ahead." Yuan Reese collected his thoughts and said seriously.
"For a martial artist, I think there are two most important factors." Garon said slowly.
"First, talent. This is the so-called talent of the body. The better the talent, the faster you can learn martial arts and the more time you save, so that you can reach a higher level in the future. "
The few of them nodded and expressed their understanding.
"Secondly, it's Spirit." Garen raised a finger to emphasize.
"No matter if it's a martial arts enthusiast, a martial artist, or even a Grandmaster of Combat, spirit is very important." Garon was a little emotional. "For example, the gangsters on the street who fight. Usually, before a fight, if they are scared out of their wits, wouldn't they end up defeated? "
Looking at the few of them, they did not seem to understand. He continued to explain.
"When two normal people fight, they have the same strong physique, the same strength and speed. If one party is mentally weak, he will lack confidence and will be in a defensive position. If the other party is mentally strong, he will constantly take the initiative to attack. This way, as long as there are no major accidents, the winner will always be the mentally strong one. "
"I kind of understand." Yuan Reese frowned slightly.
Garon glanced at the young girl beside him who also seemed to understand. Both of them had good understanding. Curling obviously understood as well. Only Simon scratched his head and did not understand.
"What about the level of a martial artist?" Yuan Reese asked.
"The pursuit of a martial artist is to condense one's own spirit and challenge the limits of the human body to reach the level of a Grandmaster of Combat." Garon explained calmly. "Spirit is the product of the fusion of spirit and strength. Martial arts that contain spirit all have a strong personal style. They all have different uses. Some spirit can oppress the enemy. Some spirit can disturb the enemy's spirit. Of course, I haven't seen many Grandmasters of Combat, so I don't know much about them. "
"Then for the level of a Grandmaster of Combat, what is the importance of spirit?" Yuan Reese continued to ask.
"It's too early for you to ask this question." Garon looked at Yuan Reese who was sitting in front of him. This young man who was not even 15 years old was able to talk freely under his pressure. He was indeed a good seedling.
"But I can tell you about it."
Garen said with a gentle tone of appreciation.
"If your spirit is weak, you won't be able to react quickly to the opponent's attacks and various changes. If your spirit is weak, you will be hesitant when making a choice. One wrong step will lead to many wrong steps. If you continue to be hesitant about your choice, your reaction will become slower and slower. No matter how strong you are, you will be greatly weakened. "
He added, "If your spirit is not strong enough, you will not be able to react quickly enough and may hesitate. Many times, the initiative is the moment. If you lose it, you will lose. This is the importance of spirit and spirit. "
"That's why many masters will use their spirit to suppress their opponent before a fight. If they are suppressed by their opponent, their chances of winning will be very low. " Garon looked at Yuan Reese who seemed to understand and continued, "Some masters lack spirit and will use other methods to attack their opponent. For example, using tricks or words to provoke them. "
"I understand." Yuan Reese nodded, "That means that if the difference in strength is not too big, if your spirit is suppressed, you won't be able to use your strength and there is a high chance of losing."
"Then how do I condense my spirit and strengthen it?"
"That depends on you. There are too many ways to strengthen your spirit. What you need to do is to find a way that suits you." Garon did not point it out directly. Looking at the four people in front of him who seemed to be deep in thought, he smiled slightly.
"From now on, the White Cloud Gate will be managed by Simon and Curling. If you have any questions, ask them together today."
Curling and Simon looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"Teacher, please teach us."
The two of them slowly got into the starting position of the White Cloud Gate.
Yuan Reese and Chilina stood up and pushed back.
"Let's do it together. Let me see how much you have improved." Garon sat with his legs crossed and did not move.
