Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 47: Find a Master
Generally speaking, even if Sun Hong saw a good candidate, he would not directly ask to accept him as a disciple like he did today, but would let his disciple ask for the other party's opinion in a tactful way.

In this way, whether he succeeds or fails, there will be room for maneuver, and he will not lose face.

Moreover, throughout history, true disciples are generally carefully selected from among the disciples under the tutelage, and it is rare for someone to be accepted as a successor without any examination.

However, after seeing the talents of Chen Wen and A Bao today, he really couldn't help himself, so he directly asked to accept the man and the bear as his true disciples.

But he didn't expect that the first time he was willing to accept a true disciple, he would be rejected like this.

You know, among the martial artists who are learning Xingyiquan nowadays, there are countless people who want to become his disciples but are unable to do so.

Sun Hong was extremely angry at the time, but he was not the kind of person who would leave in disgrace after being rejected.

So, he stayed and delivered a complete cannon punch before turning around and leaving.

Sun Hong wanted to let Chen Wen know what kind of opportunity he had missed.

On the way back to the reception room, Mr. Sun walked lightly.

He was thinking, if Chen Wen came crying and begging to be his disciple, should he make things a little difficult for Chen Wen?
If we don't make things difficult for him, it will be difficult to shape Chen Wen's character in the future.

If it was difficult, he was worried that Chen Wen would just give up.

After all, thinking that talented people are hard to come by, Sun Hong decided to wait for Chen Wen to become his disciple and agreed reluctantly.

……

On the other side, Chen Wen and A Bao sat on the ground for a while before standing up.

"Hmmmm~?"

A Bao looked at Chen Wen in confusion, and asked with excitement why the old man had just turned into a big tiger.

Chen Wen turned and looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu explained: "When the teacher performed the Cannon Fist just now, he added the fist intention of a fierce tiger, so you felt like a fierce tiger was pouncing on you."

At this point, he asked, "Isn't this a bit like 'intimidation'?"

Chen Wen and A Bao thought about it and nodded, saying that they did look a bit similar.

Whether it was the punch just now or the effectiveness of the "intimidation", they all felt like they had become prey, and a sense of fear naturally arose in their hearts.

Lin Wu continued, "The Roaring Wind Tiger's talent of 'Intimidation' is somewhat similar to the intention of a warrior. As long as you master the intention of the fist, you will be immune to it. This is why I said that the teacher has a way."

Chen Wen's eyes lit up and he asked, "How do I learn?"

Lin Wu shrugged and said, "As I said earlier, I only learned the form of Xingyiquan. If you want to learn the meaning of the boxing, you can only find a teacher."

After saying that, he turned around to instruct other students.

Chen Wen thought for a while, then slowly assumed the three-body posture, imitating Sun Hong's previous exertion.

The force came from the ground, Chen Wen's body twisted slightly, and his right fist swung out suddenly.

Bang!
Chen Wen hit the air with his bare hands, making a crisp sound, but he shook his head in disappointment.

He had just learned at least 70% of Sun Hong's movements, but he failed to roar like a tiger, nor did he feel the so-called boxing intent.

Chen Wen turned his gaze to A Bao and said, "A Bao, imitate the old man's punch just now."

Po nodded and threw a clean punch.

call--!
Bang!
A Bao was stronger and had more spiritual energy than Chen Wen. This punch not only made a crisp sound, but also generated a gust of wind.

But it is still very different from Sun Hong's cannon fist.

After a series of failed imitations, Chen Wen felt a little disappointed.

Before, he thought that with the talent of "Heart of Martial Arts", he and Po could copy martial arts at will. Now it seems that martial arts is not that simple.

After that, Chen Wen and A Bao did not continue to practice Cannon Fist, but carried out basic training with A Bao step by step. However, his eyes glanced towards the reception room from time to time.

At this moment, he felt that Old Man Sun was very unkind.

If you don't want to teach, then don't teach. Why do you have to show off your skills on purpose? It really messes with people's mentality.

In the reception room, Sun Hong sat upright on a chair, sipping tea slowly.

However, Chen Wen did not enter the reception room until the tea in the cup had grown cold.

Half an hour later, Sun Hong finally lost his patience and got up to go to the training room outside to check the situation.

At this moment, Chen Wen couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked into the reception room.

The moment he saw Chen Wen, Sun Hong sat down directly, picked up the cold tea with a normal expression, and began to taste it leisurely.

Sun Hong said calmly: "Chen Wen, what are you doing in this reception room?"

"Haha~"

Chen Wen smiled and said, "Abao and I have encountered some problems while practicing Xingyiquan. I would like to ask for your advice."

Sun Hong chuckled in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Just ask Lin Wu, you are a student of his martial arts school, what does it have to do with me?
First, I didn't take your money, and second, I'm not your teacher, so why should I give you guidance?"

Chen Wen immediately understood what Sun Hong meant and said respectfully, "I am willing to be your disciple, but the inheritance of Xingyiquan is a matter of great importance and it is not something I can afford right now."

As he said, true disciples have good benefits but also great responsibilities, and he doesn't want to mislead others or himself.

For himself, Xingyiquan is just a scenery on his journey. After all, the talent he possesses is the heart of martial arts, not the heart of Xingyiquan, and the heart of martial arts is just a talent ball produced by the system.

To shoulder the inheritance and future of an entire martial arts school just to learn Xingyiquan was too much of a burden for him who hadn't even started college yet.

For Sun Hong, teaching an ordinary disciple and teaching a direct disciple require completely different efforts. If he deceives the old man, it might delay Sun Hong's search for a suitable successor.

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Sun Hong smiled, but Chen Wen's second half made his face freeze.

In his eyes, Chen Wen and Abao are just accessories.

While waiting for Chen Wen to enter the reception room, he actually considered whether it would be appropriate to directly accept Chen Wen as his true disciple?

Needless to say, Chen Wen's talent was unprecedented. He had only seen such martial arts talent in ancient books. With Chen Wen's talent, becoming a master of his generation was a piece of cake. He could even continue to perfect Xingyiquan and deduce it to a higher level.

This is also the reason why he made an exception and asked to accept a disciple.

However, does accepting disciples only consider talent?
Of course not, one’s behavior and character need to be carefully examined.

Otherwise, if one accidentally accepts a person with evil ambitions, let alone providing for one's old age and seeing him to the end of his life, it is very likely that Sun's Xingyiquan will directly become Chen's Xingyiquan, or even become a new style of boxing. Such cases of betraying one's teacher and ancestors are not uncommon in history.

Chen Wen's words made Sun Hong both angry and happy. He was angry that Chen Wen was unwilling to become his true disciple, but he was happy that Chen Wen was not a person who was blinded by profit.

After a moment, Sun Hong snorted coldly, and then said: "I just spoke too quickly before. Do you really think that you can have the opportunity to become my true disciple at any time?"

Chen Wen looked a little disappointed when he heard this, and asked, "Then can I still take you as my master?"

Sun Hong picked up the cold tea, thinking that such a genius was rare in a century, he finally drank the tea together with the tea leaves, and then hummed helplessly with a nasal sound.

Chen Wen quickly bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

At the same time, he mentally asked Po to follow him in saluting.

After listening to Chen Wen's instructions, A Bao also imitated Chen Wen's movements in a naive manner.

"Okay, no need for the red tape. You can't inherit my legacy anyway, so consider yourself my initiator today. I'll take you to meet your fellow brothers when I'm free another day."

Sun Hong stroked his beard and nodded, finally a smile appeared on his face.

Although Chen Wen was not accepted as his true disciple, teaching a talented person is one of the great joys in life.
