Looking at the sweaty summer, Guan always likes it from the bottom of his heart!
Sometimes he was even a little jealous, jealous that the old man could have such a grandson!
"You kid, you really work hard! Now that the dust has settled and the world is at peace, can't you take a few days off?" Old Guan smiled and poured himself a cup of tea!
Xia Tian swung his hand, and there was a crisp sound like a whip. After the sound, he stopped and looked at Master Guan!
"Old man, have you ever encountered a situation where you tried your best but couldn't make any progress?"
Mr. Guan was stunned by Xia Tian's sudden question, then he smiled kindly and asked back!
"You've been practicing boxing since you were a child, have you never experienced this feeling?"
Xia Tian thought carefully for a moment and shook his head affirmatively, "No!"
Hearing such a firm answer, Mr. Guan looked at Xia Tian with strange eyes and asked, "Not even once?"
Xia Tian tilted his head and recalled, "The coach would tell us how many times we needed to practice each movement today, and then we would rest after practicing. I didn't feel anything."
Listening to Xia Tian's explanation, Guan Lao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"It's true that repetitive training over and over again can form muscle memory, but after so much repetitive training, don't you feel anything?"
Xia Tian thought about it again and shook his head, "No! If there is any, it's just that I feel that I'm playing better and more powerfully."
Hearing this, Guan Lao waved his hands as if he had collapsed and said, "That's enough, freak! It's enough that I know you are so powerful!"
"Swearing? Personal attack?" Xia Tian pretended to look at Guan Lao viciously!
Looking at Xia Tian who had a face full of criticism, Old Guan no longer looked like an elder and raised his middle finger high at Xia Tian!
"The feeling you're talking about is called the bottleneck period. This period is very tiring. Many people who learn martial arts choose to give up because they can't make any progress during the bottleneck period!"
When Guan Lao gave him the middle finger, Xia Tian didn't get angry but laughed instead. He reached out to grab Guan Lao's finger but the other party dodged it!
"What is this bottleneck period you mentioned? Is there any way to break through it quickly?" Xia Tian sat down next to Master Guan!
Mr. Guan shook his head and said, "No, it depends on personal understanding. Some people are fast, some are slow, and some people may never get out of the bottleneck period in their entire life."
"Is it really that mysterious?" Xia Tian took out a cigarette from Guan Lao's pocket and lit it!
"Fire..." Xia Tian stretched out his hand!
"I didn't bring it, how about you rub two sticks together to make fire?" Guan Lao held back his laughter!
"Old man, I find you are not cute anymore!" Xia Tian looked resentful!
Mr. Guan chuckled and took out a lighter from the bandage on his arm.
After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Xia Tian exhaled a beautiful smoke ring!
"Please continue!"
Seeing Xia Tian's extremely unrestrained performance, Mr. Guan was particularly happy!
Because in Xia Tian, he saw the family love he had never seen before.
"It's hard to describe. How should I put it? It's like when we all practice running together, why do some run fast and some run slow?"
Xia Tian answered without thinking, "It's because of good natural qualities, or because of a different growth environment!"
Master Guan nodded and said, "Then why is it that among such a group of people, after practicing for a period of time, some people come out on top while others fail?"
"Just because I don't have the talent!" Xia Tian replied as a matter of course!
But the next second, Guan Lao slapped him on the head with a neither light nor heavy slap!
"Hey little brat, use your brain. Talent is just a stepping stone. What really determines whether you are made for it?"
Xia Tian shrank his neck when he was slapped, and at that moment he suddenly thought of the martial arts realm that Master Guan had talked about.
There are only a handful of people who can reach the realm of perfection, but do those who are rejected from the realm of perfection just have no talent?
Not necessarily!
After pondering for a moment, Xia Tian tentatively asked, "Understanding?"
Mr. Guan nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's the understanding, just like your current state."
"I always feel that there is a certain move that you can perform better, but I can't find the way. But one day you will find that door, but some people can't do it in their entire life!"
As Mr. Guan answered, Xia Tian’s eyes widened!
He looked at Guan Lao in disbelief and asked, "Did you figure it out?"
Mr. Guan smiled and nodded, "It's just a little bit. Encountering a bottleneck period is not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing."
"Because once you break through the bottleneck, you will have a qualitative leap!"
Xia Tian has always been very convinced by what Guan Lao said.
Now that everyone has said all, what else is there to say?
Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Xia Tian patted his butt and stood up.
"Go on, strike while the iron is hot. It's the bottleneck period, right? That's interesting!" Xia Tian laughed.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the system's task completion notification sound rang in Xia Tian's mind.
The general meaning is that Xia Tian has completely understood the true meaning of Tongbeiquan's power, and the mission is completed.
Then it was the same old stuff, the same old stuff, and Xia Tian had gotten used to it.
But this time is different from the past. In the past, when the system gave tasks, Xia Tian would resist from the bottom of his heart.
Now I have a little desire and expectation.
Until the three words "grabbing hands" were imprinted in Xia Tian's mind.
Only then did Xia Tian happily sit down next to Mr. Guan.
"Not practicing anymore?" Old Guan smiled and handed over a cup of tea.
Xia Tian shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you treat me like a donkey? I know what tiring is, okay?"
Mr. Guan didn't say anything, but continued to add tea to Xia Tian with a smile on his face.
"Old man, do you know anything about grappling techniques?" Xia Tian asked after he had solved his dry mouth.
"Exam?" Old Guan looked at Xia Tian with interest.
Xia Tian quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
"Do you need to ask me this? You should have a deep understanding of this."
"Can I understand that?" Xia Tian replied.
"Have you forgotten your Uncle Dong's Eighteen Black Dragon Moves? And most of the ground locks in wrestling and mixed martial arts are derived from grappling techniques." Old Guan gave Xia Tian a kind look.
Xia Tian, who already had all the grappling techniques in his mind, instantly understood what Master Guan meant.
Now that Xia Tian has firmly believed that all the fighting techniques in the world originated from China, he no longer feels the disbelief and shock he felt at the beginning.
But for some reason, he just wanted to hear someone confirm his ideas, so he asked Mr. Guan this question.
Mr. Guan did not disappoint him and pointed out the key point in one sentence, which made Xia Tian feel an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart.
"Okay, it seems that I don't need to explain it to you anymore. You should go home quickly. When Ran wakes up, she will look for you everywhere."
As Mr. Guan spoke, he stood up first.
Xia Tian said "oh" and stood up as well.
"Xiaotian, take the army's affairs to heart, they are big things." As they were about to part, Mr. Guan suddenly said this.
