Chapter 49 Spiritual Training
"That day was the day before I was going abroad to participate in the World Series."

“The family held a farewell party for me. Everyone was very happy and proud of me.”

"My cousin was just drunk and said something out of jealousy."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly became very angry, as if my whole body was ignited by anger."

"My heartbeat is getting faster and faster, my blood pressure is getting higher and higher, and both sides of my forehead are bulging. It seems that the monster hidden deep in my body is about to come out!"

"Then, I and the monster truly became one..."

Fang Cheng sat on a stool with a solemn expression, listening to Goro Majima telling stories of the past.

This is also the first time that Goro Majima demonstrates the so-called "transformation".

The frenzy state will cause a person to completely lose their reason, and become like a wild beast with only a desire to destroy.

During this incident, he accidentally beat his cousin so badly that he was on the verge of death, and also hurt several relatives and friends who tried to dissuade him.

Fang Cheng could imagine how chaotic and tragic the scene was.

It was through an hour-long battle that he slowly consumed the strength of "Crazy Majima Goro".

Then they used the strangulation technique to suffocate him and make him unconscious, and only then did they succeed in subduing him.

"How did you finally come to your senses?"

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It was a distinguished guest that Grandpa invited to help."

Majima Goro answered.

"My mind was in a mess at the time and I couldn't remember exactly how I was knocked down."

"When I wake up, I will be lying on a hospital bed like I am now, unable to move..."

As he said this, Goro Majima let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Being a disabled person for more than two months gave me some long-lost peace and I thought of a way to relieve my symptoms."

"As long as it is forcibly restrained or exhausted and falls into a coma when it transforms and goes crazy, the monster will lurk for a long time."

"This way, I can take a breath and be a normal person for a while..."

Listening to Majima Goro's words of trying to make fun of himself, Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked:

"Didn't you go to the pharmaceutical company?"

"them?"

Majima Goro was stunned when he heard this, and then explained:
"I can't even confirm whether the company actually exists, and the drugs are regularly sent by people from different addresses."

As he spoke, his expression looked complicated.

It seems to be mixed with regret, hatred, fear, or cowardice?

Choi Sooyoung finished translating for her fiancé and added:

"Mr. Fang, those people have mysterious origins and are not on the same social level as us. If we take some things too seriously, we will only cause more trouble."

Fang Cheng nodded, suppressing his doubts.

Unable to stay in Japan, Goro Majima took his grandfather's advice and decided to go to Xia Country to find a way to completely cure his chronic illness.

Because compared with other fighting schools, the martial arts philosophy of the Xia Dynasty focuses more on self-cultivation, curing diseases and prolonging life, and pursuing peace and tranquility of mind.

It’s a pity that after traveling everywhere and looking for famous teachers, I still couldn’t find a true master.

On the contrary, as time went by, his condition began to relapse and gradually worsened.

Goro Majima could feel that the monster had returned.

Seeing that he could no longer hold on, he found the Global Elite Fight Club.

At the same time, he vented his manic emotions and released the pressure in his heart by beating his sparring partner.

While waiting for Zheng Haokang to arrive, he wanted to use the fists of this world-class boxing champion to beat him up so as to defeat the monster in his heart again.

Afterwards, seeing Fang Cheng's unusual behavior, he shifted his target to him. "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry. It's my fault for putting you in danger."

Goro Majima struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Choi Soo-young quickly held him down with both hands.

Seeing that his opponent's mental state seemed to have completely returned to normal, listening to his sincere apology.

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, considered his words, and responded:
"Mr. Majima, if you want to curb the monster in your heart, you don't necessarily need to look for an external opponent. Perhaps you can try to treat yourself as the real opponent."

"I used to be filled with all kinds of negative emotions, but every time I challenged my physical limits, these negative emotions became the nourishment that helped me overcome difficulties and reach another peak..."

"This is the wonderful thing about human beings. When your mental willpower is strong enough, you can often unleash potential that you can't even imagine. But when you surrender and give up mentally, you may not even be able to unleash 10% of your normal strength..."

Fang Cheng spoke slowly, trying his best to express in words the spiritual insights he had gained from doing pull-ups in the rainstorm.

Upon hearing this, Majima Goro frowned and thought deeply, as if he had realized something:
"My grandfather also told me that practicing martial arts is not only for strengthening the muscles and bones and strengthening oneself, but also a form of spiritual self-cultivation."

"Based on what I know about Xia Nation's martial arts philosophy, the mental state you entered should be the state of accidentally touching upon the unity of man and nature."

Fang Cheng smiled when he heard this, and thinking of the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life, he also said:

"If we use the Xia language, your crazy state is actually called being possessed by a demon. You need to work harder to hone your willpower."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

As former rivals, after talking about martial arts, they discovered common interests and their relationship became much more harmonious.

Goro Majima also asked Choi Soo-young to take out a photo hidden in her wallet and hand it to Fang Cheng.

The one above is a boy with a delicate appearance and thin body.

According to Goro Majima, this is a photo of him participating in his first competition when he was fifteen years old.

Fang Cheng commented that except for not being handsome enough, he looked normal in other aspects.

When Goro Majima heard this, the bitter smile on his face became even uglier.

Although the two had only known each other for a short time and needed an interpreter to communicate, they had similar interests and chatted for nearly an hour without realizing it.

Choi Soo-young couldn't help it and forced her fiancé to have a good rest before ending the conversation.

Fang Cheng looked out the window and saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye.

I wish Goro Majima a speedy recovery and promised to visit him again in a few days to continue discussing martial arts issues together.

Walk out of this hospital door.

Fang Cheng thought back to the secret revealed by Goro Majima, and his emotions were in turmoil.

I can vaguely dispel the fog that shrouds this world, but I cannot fully peek into the scene within.

Looking at the slightly hazy sky, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

If I could learn Japanese, communication between the two sides would be smoother and more convenient, and I should be able to get more useful information.

Maybe you can also master a new skill.

With this thought in mind, Fang Cheng opened the panel.

Look at the "Cooking" skill enhancement reward that was just upgraded this morning.

[Knife flower, can enhance the sensitivity of fingers, good at using various fine knife techniques]

If it is replaced with a foreign language skill, what kind of special strengthening effect will it have?

As he was daydreaming, Fang Cheng suddenly felt inexplicably touched.

It was as if at this moment, there was a pair of eyes behind me secretly observing me.

He couldn't help but look back.

Out of the corner of my eye I just caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the window of the hospital building.
