Chapter 697

He was not only a gifted martial arts genius, but also a role model who inspired other Shaolin disciples to work hard in their cultivation. Night descended silently on the Shaolin Temple, and the courtyard under the starry sky was quiet and serene.

Li Zhou and Fang Yang sat together on a stone bench, resting for a moment and enjoying the tranquility of the night.

Suddenly, Li Zhou turned to Fang Yang, his eyes flashing with a probing light.

"Fang Yang, I have always been very interested in your understanding of martial arts. As a martial arts master, you must have a unique understanding of this art, right?"

Li Zhou asked full of curiosity.

Fang Yang nodded with a smile and said gently.

"Actually, I have a very deep research and understanding of martial arts. In my view, martial arts are not just a fighting technique."

"They are also a way of physical and mental cultivation. Through the training and practice of martial arts, we can reach the realm of unity of body and mind, and cultivation of both inside and outside."

Li Zhou listened with great interest and asked with a face full of expectation.

"Then can you tell me about your feelings when practicing fist techniques? I want to understand how you perfectly combine body and technique."

Fang Yang looked at Li Zhou with a smile and said affectionately.

"When practicing fist techniques, I will concentrate my mind completely on every cell of my body. My heart is as calm as water, feeling everything around me."

He reached out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched the cold stone slab on the stone bench.

"I will realize that my body and the surrounding environment are connected."

Li Zhou listened quietly, watching Fang Yang with focused and expectant eyes.

He exclaimed.

"This realm is like being in nature, integrated with all things in heaven and earth."

Fang Yang nodded in agreement.

"Yes, when my fists and feet rise and fall, I can feel my connection with the natural world. Every breath is like communicating with the earth, and power flows through my body."

Li Zhou was fascinated and couldn't wait to start asking other questions about practicing fist techniques.

"Then how do you improve the techniques of fist techniques?"

Fang Yang answered with a smile.

"The key to improving fist techniques lies in constant practice and correction. In every training session, I will carefully observe every subtle detail of my movements."

"And constantly correct and improve. Only through constant effort and practice can fist techniques be made more perfect."

Li Zhou asked with longing.

"What else? I want to know how to master internal energy."

Fang Yang explained with a smile.

"The mastery of internal energy requires the coordination and unification of the whole body. My breathing, movements, and mind must be integrated into one. Only by concentrating my attention can I use and release internal energy in a balanced way."

Li Zhou listened with great interest and couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning.

"Brother Fang Yang, your martial arts attainments are truly admirable. I also hope to reach such a realm like you."

Fang Yang smiled and patted Li Zhou's shoulder.

"Brother Li Zhou, there is no shortcut to the path of martial arts. As long as you keep working hard and persisting, I believe you will also find your own realm."

The two of them communicated with each other, and time passed quietly.

The Shaolin Temple courtyard under the starry sky fell into tranquility again. Li Zhou lay on the bed and fell into a dream. His dream began peacefully and beautifully; he was on a vast and boundless grassland.

The green grass was like a carpet, and the breeze blew, setting off waves.

In the distance, a rainbow swept across the sky, beautiful and mysterious.

However, the scenery suddenly became eerie.

The sky gradually darkened, and the grassland turned into a desolate desert.

Li Zhou felt his body bound, walking with heavy steps.

He was eager to find a way out and wandered in the desert.

Just then, Fang Yang's figure suddenly appeared before his eyes.

He stretched out his arm to signal Li Zhou, "Follow me."

Li Zhou felt infinite power and energy surging within Fang Yang's body.

He followed Fang Yang through the desert and found a small well in the vast desert.

"Jump in." Fang Yang looked at Li Zhou affectionately and said.

Li Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally jumped into the well resolutely.

The next moment, he found himself in a fantastic and mysterious world.

This world was made of dreamy clouds, colorful and beautiful.

Li Zhou looked around, and clouds of different shapes floated freely in the air, like a beautiful painting.

And Fang Yang closed his eyes, earnestly recalling the state of his martial arts practice during the day.

He tried to find a better way to improve his strength.

He was immersed in thinking about the realm of martial arts, gradually forgetting everything around him. The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the room, and the room was filled with a fresh atmosphere.

Li Zhou and Fang Yang woke up at the same time, and they put on their clothes and went to the washroom to prepare for a new day.

Just as they were tidying up, Li Zhou suddenly leaned over to Fang Yang and whispered.

"Fang Yang, in my opinion, you are really amazing; nothing can stump you."

His voice was full of respect and admiration.

Fang Yang nodded with a smile and said gratefully.

"Thank you." He was already used to others' praise and compliments, but Li Zhou's sincere expression made him feel warm and satisfied.

The two looked at each other, and firm determination flashed in their eyes.

"Fang Yang, I had a strange dream yesterday."

Li Zhou asked confusedly. Fang Yang looked at Li Zhou and frowned slightly.

He had never seen Li Zhou with such a nervous and confused expression, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He asked curiously.

"You had a strange dream last night? Tell me, what kind of dream was it?"

Li Zhou's voice trembled slightly, but he still tried hard to recall the scenes in his dream.

He looked at Fang Yang with nervous and confused eyes, trying to convey his feelings to him.

"In the dream, I was in a strange and ancient ruin. A heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the surroundings, as if time had stopped."

His tone was full of unease and confusion.

Fang Yang listened quietly and nodded from time to time to indicate that he understood the scene Li Zhou described.

"And then? Did anything else strange happen?" He encouraged Li Zhou to continue his narration.

Li Zhou took a deep breath, trying to tell Fang Yang more details.

"In that ruin, I felt myself being pulled by some force toward an ancient and mysterious building."

"When I stepped into that building, I saw a huge scroll, and on the picture was a scene from an ancient legend."

His tone trembled, and his eyes revealed deep confusion about that scroll.

Fang Yang listened attentively and nodded from time to time to indicate that he understood. Li Zhou had not completely gotten rid of the trouble of last night's dream, but he knew he had to stay focused now.

He carried the camera on his shoulder, feeling it emit a faint red light.

It shone on his face, giving a sense of science fiction.

The two continued on their way to the practice location. Fang Yang followed the Abbot to the stream, a breeze blew, bringing the gentle rustling sound of leaves.

The stream was crystal clear, shining with silver light under the sunlight.

The trees by the stream were lush, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, a peaceful and beautiful scene.

Fang Yang and other disciples gathered by the stream, communicating with each other about their insights and experiences in practicing martial arts.

The sound of their conversation kept coming, full of an atmosphere of mutual learning and discussion.

"Senior Brother, how do you think we can better improve our internal energy?"

A young disciple asked Fang Yang for advice.

Fang Yang answered with a smile.

"The improvement of internal energy requires constant tempering and cultivation. In addition to practicing basic skills on time every day, you must also pay attention to adjusting your breathing and maintaining body balance."

He pointed to an old tree next to him.

"Look at that tree; it has grown for decades to form such a strong trunk and lush branches and leaves. Our cultivation is the same; it requires patience and persistence."
