Chapter 12

The ten people spread out, each striking the pose they remembered.

"Not bad!"

Lin Cheng's gaze swept over, first looking at Lu Ren, who had the best innate talent, and couldn't help but nod secretly.

Although Lu Ren's Turtle-Snake Great Stance was still a mess, it was the best among the ten.

He looked at everyone one by one, keeping the performance of everyone's first stance in his heart, then took a big step forward and pointed out each one.

"Keep your chest in and back straight!"

"Sink your Qi into your dantian."

"Your tendons and bones should be loose yet tight."

"Don't deliberately hold your breath."

After one round, he went to point out the group of disciples who were practicing punches earlier.

After everyone had been pointed out, Lin Cheng shouted to the backyard: "Sun Tao, come here!"

The man in white appeared soon after. Lin Cheng pointed at him and said: "This is your Senior Brother Sun Tao. From now on, he will lead you to get started."

After saying this, he strode away directly.

Everyone looked at each other. Lin Cheng actually wouldn't continue to teach them the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, but would have this Senior Brother Sun Tao do it. One tael of silver only bought such a short time of guidance.

"Don't think about Master teaching you. Before you get started with the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, Master won't come to teach you again. This is just the outer courtyard; Master usually comes once every half month.

If it weren't for the fact that ten of you came at once this time, you wouldn't even have seen Master's face."

Sun Tao seemed to understand the thoughts of Xu Yang and the others and explained immediately.

"Senior Brother Sun, how can one be considered to have gotten started with the Turtle-Snake Great Stance?" someone asked.

Xu Yang looked over and found that the one asking was the youth with Bing-Upper innate talent who ranked second. He remembered this person's name was Zhang Yong.

Sun Tao laughed: "When you feel strength rising from the ground, and your Qi and blood boil like boiling water while standing, the Turtle-Snake Great Stance is considered to have been started."

He was responsible for leading new disciples in the outer courtyard to get started, which naturally included answering various puzzles or martial arts common sense.

"Generally, how much time does it take to get started?" This time the question came from Lu Ren.

Sun Tao looked at him and said: "Those with excellent talent might take three to five days. If it's bad, it's possible they won't be able to get started in a lifetime."

This statement made several people's faces change drastically.

"Senior Brother Sun, does talent refer to innate talent?" Luo Dehu asked.

Sun Tao shook his head: "No. Martial dao talent isn't just innate talent. Besides innate talent, there is also comprehension. I know you checked your bones at the Huang family, but I want to tell you that while innate talent is important, comprehension cannot be ignored.

Weiyuan Hall doesn't check innate talent because there are too many examples of people with good innate talent who didn't become martial artists.

Alright, you don't need to ask these useless questions now, but first learn the Turtle-Snake Great Stance."

Everyone's heart sank. Those who originally relied on their innate talent immediately put away their little thoughts.
