The smile on Sun Wuben's face disappeared. He turned around and looked at the distant mountain in silence.
"You're right. Normal martial arts practice can be done inside the dojo." Sun Wuben's voice seemed to come from the horizon. "It was indeed my, Sun Wuben's, original idea to let you come to the forest to practice like this."
"Why?"
Tien Shin's eyes shone with a fierce light.
"Do you remember what I said about life levels? In martial arts practice, there are three life levels: mortal, immortal, and divine." Sun Wuben's voice was distant, but his mind was thinking about the cultivation methods of masters in the world of Dragon Ball, who could break through the level of ordinary warriors and reach an unimaginable realm. "In this world, there are very few people who have transcended mortality and become immortals through martial arts cultivation. You can count them with ten fingers. You two are the first people I, Sun Wuben, have instructed in cultivation. I don't want you to be like everyone else in the future and become martial artists who are no different from ordinary martial arts masters."
"You think you can become immortals by playing with monkeys in the mountains and fighting with bears for honey?" Tien Shin sneered.
"Even if there aren't millions of martial artists in this world, there are at least a hundred thousand of them. Why are there only so few who can transcend mortality and become immortals? With your knowledge, you naturally don't understand. Other martial artists don't understand either. Perhaps the only one in this world who understands this logic is me, Sun Wuben."
Tien Shin and Dumpling wanted to laugh, but they didn't, because this was not the first time Sun Wuben had said such arrogant words in the past few months.
"Because they practice martial arts only know how to train their bodies, or in other words, to refine their bodies." Sun Wuben said in a low voice.
"Is martial arts not about refining the body?" Tien Shin snorted.
"Refining the body is not wrong." Sun Wuben said indifferently, "But according to my research, I finally came to a conjecture. Martial arts practice is short-term. Low-level martial artists practice the body, long-term martial artists practice the mind. The body is a stepping stone. Although indispensable, it can't be regarded as everything in martial arts. I've taken you to fight lions and tigers. Compared to the training in the training room, you should be able to imagine the difference. "
"Martial artists who can truly break through the boundary between immortals and mortals all have a true heart of martial arts. The reason why I've been training you all these days is naturally to cultivate your heart of martial arts. This is something that can't be achieved by doing repetitive movements in the training room."
"Martial heart of martial arts?"
Tien Shin's brows furrowed, and Dumpling bit his fingers.
"Martial heart of martial arts?" Dumpling asked.
"Different people have different martial arts hearts. Every martial artist who can truly stand out will have their own martial arts heart." Sun Wuben said in a low voice, "Whether you and Tien Shin have it or not, I don't understand. But I can only take you to practice like you are now."
"Stay away from the mortal world, avoid the colorful temptations and life of the city, and be close to nature, not away from it!"
"Fight tigers and wolves, fight eagles, temper your heart of martial arts in the midst of life and death. Find passion and joy in battles and games. Become stronger in passion and joy. Stimulate your spirit, will, soul, and body in the midst of life and death! Instead of wasting one's heart for martial arts in the boring repetitive practice of machines, gradually losing one's passion and the joy of cultivation. "
Images emerged in Sun Wuben's mind. They were the cultivation methods of the Monkey King, the number one expert in the world of Dragon Ball.
"If you are not suitable for martial arts, not suitable for this kind of life and death battle, not suitable for finding the joy of fighting in this kind of life and death game, and still have the hot-blooded desire for battle, even if you have a strong desire to become stronger, so what?"
"Who knows how many martial artists in the world have a strong desire to become stronger, or more than 99% of martial artists want to become stronger, but how many of them can succeed?"
"Martial arts is the same as anything else. Without a strong heart, you can't make fast progress behind closed doors."
"But martial arts cultivation requires passion and a pure, pure heart, or the heart of a child. In this world, although I haven't seen real immortals, according to my guess, real immortals may have some or other problems, but they must have a pure heart. "
Sun Wuben was very emotional. The experts in the world of Dragon Ball, whether it was a lecherous old man like Master Roshi, a cold joke king like Kai, or the God of Destruction, Supreme Kai, Grand Kai … all of them were very self-centered. Their behavior and hobbies were very ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but they didn't care about it at all. No matter how the world changed, they would do as they pleased.
"These days, I took you to play all over the mountain. A lot of cultivation was like children playing house. Did it make you feel ashamed?"
Tien Shin and Dumpling's faces turned a little red. Those games really made them feel a little ashamed.
"I've seen some very good Wu Tian talents, but they often care too much about the opinions of the outside world. They even feel that cultivating martial arts in this era is like being kicked in the head by a donkey. Some simple cultivation methods are too shameful. So, although they like martial arts very much in their hearts, they can only cultivate secretly and don't dare to do it openly. They abandon everything and devote themselves wholeheartedly to it. What great achievements can this kind of cultivation have?"
"I'm quite satisfied with your performance. Although it's embarrassing, you still completed it to the letter. You even found passion and joy in it. You started to like those battles and games, longing for battle. This shows that your martial heart suppressed all other distracting thoughts."
"Remember, only by abandoning all distracting thoughts and not being influenced by the opinions of the outside world can you bravely forge ahead and break through the gate between immortal and mortal. This is also the most important part of the martial heart. I'll stop here today. Tomorrow, you can continue to cultivate by yourself. You can continue to train in the forest, or you can go back to Sunwu's Dojo to cultivate."
Sun Wuben sighed and walked forward. The cultivation method in these months was not only the martial heart. There were many things that Sun Wuben summed up based on the cultivation experience of Warrior Z in Dragon Ball and Sun Woo-ryu's knowledge of cultivation. Those were the things that could really make people reborn and reach heights that other martial artists could not reach. It was just that Sun Wuben was not prepared to expose them.
"What you can't get is valuable. I've taught them enough." Sun Wuben sighed in his heart. How could he not see that Tien Shin and Dumpling did not agree with him?
"Go back to the dojo?"
Tien Shin's eyelids twitched. "You mean …"
"I know that you are not convinced by my guidance, and I've already taught you at this stage. The rest is up to you. You can use your own methods to your heart's content. You can think of the right way to cultivate." Sun Wuben's figure disappeared into the forest.
Tien Shin and Dumpling looked at each other, and then their faces surged with excitement.
"Dumpling, what are you going to do?"
"Go to the dojo. Tien Shin, what about you?"
"Of course I'm going to the dojo too, haha …"
…
On a forest road, two figures were walking side by side.
"I didn't expect you to really let go." Mia sighed softly. She was also present when Sun Wuben was talking about the martial heart to Tien Shin and Dumpling, but she was hiding on the side.
"Aren't you afraid that they'll go the wrong way and let your efforts go to waste?" Mia said with a smile.
"If I just wanted them to become ordinary martial artists, then naturally everything would be arranged. But if they really want to walk their own path, they have to let go. Just like the martial heart, everyone has to find a way to cultivate that suits them." Sun Wuben smiled. "Besides, so what if they're wrong? It's their own choice. Only when they feel the pain will they believe in certain principles and finally be firm on the right path. It's better to make mistakes now than in the future."
"Just like me, I don't believe in the principles you've said at all." Mia smiled sweetly. Indeed, Sun Wuben had talked to her about the martial heart, but Mia didn't think it was very useful. Not only that, but Mia didn't agree with everything Sun Wuben did after he dropped out of school. She just couldn't do anything about it.
"You'll believe it in the end, but …" Sun Wuben sighed. "I'm afraid it'll be too late."
"Impossible." Mia snorted. It wasn't clear whether she was saying that she wouldn't believe it or that it wouldn't be too late.
"Well, sister, you can go back. It's time for me to really start my own cultivation." Sun Wuben said. In order to guide Tien Shin and Dumpling, Sun Wuben's own cultivation had been delayed too much.
"Well, let sister see how your cultivation will go. I hope you're right." Mia flew out like a Big Bird and disappeared into the forest in a few flashes.
