"Remember, the essence of the Hungry Wolf Fist lies in speed, precision, and ruthlessness, just like a famished wolf. Once it targets its prey, it will never let go until it devours the opponent completely."
"Wrong, wrong. I'm teaching you the Hungry Wolf Fist, not the Stupid Wolf Fist. Wolves are intelligent animals that understand coordinated combat and tactics. They are not animals that seek death. Movement within stillness, wisdom within ruthlessness, swift and accurate, fierce and sharp—that is a hungry wolf."
"Bell, go demonstrate the moves for Xiao Chenyu and teach him."
At Heart of Fire Villa, in the courtyard, the transplanted cherry trees were already flourishing with lush branches and leaves. Even though it wasn't the season for cherry blossoms, the willows were still green and the pink, with petals fluttering.
More than ten days had passed, and Xiao Chenyu had integrated into the atmosphere of Heart of Fire Academy, practicing his fist techniques in the courtyard every day.
Seeing Xiao Chenyu practicing, Bell, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan all recalled their own days of practicing fist techniques.
Although this fist technique was considered a basic one, only students of Heart of Fire Academy understood that foundational ultimate skills were extremely important for new students; they were, in essence, the cornerstone of Spirit cultivation.
Only by mastering the basic fist techniques could they understand the development direction of their Spirit, comprehend its characteristics, and ultimately have the chance to achieve the realm of Human-Spirit Unity.
However, for those who had never practiced martial arts, even these foundational ultimate skills were extremely difficult to cultivate. Otherwise, Bell wouldn't have had to practice thousands upon thousands of times just to barely get started.
Seeing that Xiao Chenyu still hadn't grasped the essence of the Hungry Wolf Fist, Xin instructed Bell to practice with Xiao Chenyu.
Bell's Cat Form Fist had already reached mastery, enough to guide Xiao Chenyu in understanding the meaning of the words 'form' and 'intent'.
"Godfather Senior Brother, please guide me!"
Xiao Chenyu stopped his Hungry Wolf Fist posture, cupped his hands, and respectfully saluted Bell.
Since that night when he became a disciple, Xiao Chenyu had never called Bell by his given name again, instead addressing him as Senior Brother Sheng or Godfather.
What is a teacher? A teacher for a day is a father for life.
What is a godfather? An elder brother is like a father; a guiding senior brother is a godfather!
"Boss Xiao, please don't call me that. It's a bit embarrassing."
"Godfather, if you're uncomfortable, then I'll call you Godfather, and you can call me Boss. We'll call each other what we wish."
"Sigh… let's just practice our fists."
Bell paused, and the Cat Form Fist posture naturally formed:
"Boss Xiao, practicing is not a game. Please earnestly grasp the true meaning within the fist technique."
"The so-called 'form and intent' is the combination of physical action and inner intention, emphasizing 'Form-Intent Unity, Human-Spirit Unity'. Boss Xiao, you must see yourself as a true hungry wolf to unleash its power."
"These are the exact words my teacher told me. It's just that I am a tiger and you are a wolf, but the principle is the same."
Xiao Chenyu's expression also became serious. He was currently the least talented among his teacher's disciples. If he didn't maintain a proper learning attitude, he would be finished.
