Lin Fung In the courtyard of his home, he buried himself daily in the practice of Tiger Roar Fist. His figure rose and fell under the sunlight, with the fist wind rolling, but despite this, his inner turmoil continued to haunt him.
Although the fist wind was fierce, the flow of internal energy was always not smooth enough. He tried to unleash the power of Tiger Roar Fist, but each time it seemed to be lacking a bit, the internal and external were not in harmony, just like the notes in a piece of music that failed to sound, making the entire fist technique chaotic.
During the process of practicing martial arts, he attempted to imitate the "Tiger's Roar Breaking Through the Sky" demonstrated by his master. However, every time he tried to produce that earth-shattering roar, he always failed to control it properly, resulting in a sharp and chaotic sound that directly collided with the courtyard wall, serving as a painful reminder with each collision.
In addition, he also attempted to use internal energy to shoot out leaves, but the experiment always ended in failure. The leaves fell lightly to the ground, like ordinary objects, devoid of any vitality.
Day after day of practice made Lin Fung less and less smooth, and the boxing technique, which had some semblance of form, ended up getting worse. The flow of internal energy became even more chaotic, and the power he could originally control now seemed uncontrollable, with each punch filled with discordant elements.
He kept trying to correct his boxing technique, but fell into a vicious cycle, with his strength and internal energy becoming increasingly difficult to control. The courtyard also became a mess due to his practice, with broken bricks and damaged trees as byproducts of his training. And when he attempted to unleash a Tiger Roar Fist, the out-of-control internal energy caused his punch to directly collide with the courtyard's wall, creating a huge roar that caught the attention of his mother, Liuxue.
Liuxue walked out and saw the dismal scene in the courtyard. She frowned and couldn't help but say, " Lin Fung, why have you been practicing here all the time? Look at this courtyard, it's all messed up." Her voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Lin Fung lowered his head. "Mother, I'm sorry. I just want to grasp the essence of the Tiger Roar Fist faster, but I always fail to release my inner strength smoothly." Walking to her son's side and looking at his sweaty appearance, Liuxue's voice was full of concern and worry. "You've already worked so hard. Don't blame yourself anymore. Martial arts practice always takes time and patience."
Lin Fung looked up and saw the grateful look in his mother's eyes. "Mom, I know, but I have always been unable to grasp the true essence of Tiger Roar Fist. Every attempt makes me feel frustrated."
Liuxue gently touched her son's face. "Child, nothing in this world comes easily. You need to give yourself more time. Although I don't understand all this fighting and killing that you men do, don't forget that maintaining inner balance is very important. This applies not only to martial arts, but also to how you treat others." She continued, "How can someone who can't even control their own heart, control their inner strength?" She then patted Lin Fung on the shoulder. "Don't be too hard on yourself. You are already very outstanding, and I am proud of you."
Lin Fung After listening to his mother's words, the pressure in his heart seemed to have eased a lot. He deeply understood his mother's care and support. At this moment, he felt reinvigorated. He was determined to continue practicing, no longer seeking quick success, but focusing on the perfection of every move and technique while maintaining inner balance.
Liuxue looked at her son and smiled, saying, "Good child, Mom believes that you will definitely grasp the essence of martial arts. In the not too distant future, you will become a legendary martial arts master." However, the next moment, she scolded Lin Fung and said, "The courtyard is not tidy, you can't sleep tonight. This is Master Liu's order!" His mother pretended to be fierce. Lin Fung immediately pretended to salute and said in a strange tone, "Disciple obeys!"
Mother left with a smile, reminding him not to forget to eat as she walked away. Lin Fung suddenly realized how hungry he was and hurried inside to have his meal. After resting, Lin Fung prepared for his afternoon training. He chose to do it in the courtyard, as it was filled with the atmosphere of nature, inspired by his mother Liuxue to seek the key to inner peace.
Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Fung placed his hands flat on his knees and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to enter a state of calm. He recalled the words of his mother and master about the concept of spiritual balance and the natural way of the Tao.
In his contemplation, he gradually realized that martial arts training is not just about the pursuit of skills and strength, but also includes the cultivation of the mind and spirit. To truly master the Tiger Roar Fist, he needed to find a balance of internal and external, just like the laws of nature.
He recalled the simple yet profound words in the "Nature's Way," constantly emphasizing the importance of one's nature and how to harmonize with nature. He pondered deeply, trying to understand these profound concepts and how to apply them in martial arts training. This process takes time, and he understood that he couldn't rush it. He also understood that inner peace is not achieved overnight, but requires persistent effort and realization. He began to repeatedly contemplate his own state of mind, trying to feel his own breath and heartbeat, as well as the presence of the surrounding natural world.
At that moment, he felt a wonderful connection, as if he could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and feel the warmth of the sunlight on his skin. His state of mind gradually calmed down, no longer anxious about the pursuit of power, but hoping to be one with nature and comprehend the true essence of the Tiger Roar Fist.
Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He felt the inner peace within himself. This time, he was ready to practice the Tiger Roar Fist again, but this time, he was no longer eager for quick success. He hoped to integrate the peace of mind into his martial arts. His body moved naturally, in sync with the wind, breath, and heartbeat. Every movement became more fluid, and every strike seemed to be a part of nature. His fist techniques became more exquisite, and each attack carried a wonderful sense of harmony. He felt truly at one with nature.
This time, he no longer feels frustrated, but instead is filled with confidence. He understands that inner peace is the true source of strength, and this strength will help him to gain a deeper understanding of Tiger Roar Fist and reach a higher level.
