The Eight-diagram Fist was also known as the Swimming Pisces of the Eight Trigrams, which was divided into the upper, middle and lower levels.

The Elder Mo said that if one could learn the Eight-diagram Fist to its limit, one's abilities would be able to squeeze into the ranks of experts. But speaking of it, it was easier said than done.

Every boxing style had its own quintessence. If one didn't touch the quintessence, how could one dare to say that they practiced it to the extreme?

However, everything was done from the most basic to the most basic. Becoming an expert in one night was something that could only happen in a dream.

Under Liu Bing's pressure, Elder Mo could only fulfill his promise and teach me specific moves. Starting from the simplest set of punches, I watched Elder Mo's movements without blinking, trying my best to absorb it. Unfortunately, Elder Mo's speed was really too fast, and before I could even see it clearly, the set of punches was already over.

I am so ashamed that I didn't even see Elder Mo's movements clearly.

Liu Bing seemed to have noticed the change in my expression, as she walked over and hugged onto Elder Mo's arm and said: "Grandfather, I think you just don't want to teach Ye Fei. Your actions were so quick that even I couldn't see it clearly, let alone him. Grandfather, when you were teaching Third Uncle, it was not like this.

These words, only Liu Bing would dare to say it, I absolutely do not dare to say it.

Elder Mo said: "You were the one who thought so highly of Ye Fei, which was why I felt that you were biased. Back then, when I taught you Third Uncle, I did it even faster than this. Bing Bing, go drink tea in the pavilion, then I'll teach Ye Fei. "

Hearing that, Liu Bing could only go to the pavilion and sit down.

Elder Mo looked at me and said, "Ye Fei, a martial arts practitioner's talent is extremely important, it accounts for at least half of them. If a person's talent is dull, no matter how hard he works, he wouldn't achieve much, do you understand?"

I didn't complain at all in my heart. Elder Mo must have seen many geniuses in the Martial Arts in his lifetime, and even he himself was a genius. This might have been the reason why he felt that my talent was ordinary.

I nodded. "I understand, Elder Mo, but I will work hard."

Elder Mo laughed, put both hands behind his back, and said meaningfully: "I think that for a genius of the Martial Arts, he must first have half of his Inherent Skill, then have 30% of the opportunities, and only this last 20% should be for perseverance and hard work. Of course, the ratio of opportunities and talent can be swapped, but not perseverance. With many opportunities and ordinary talents, one can also become an expert.

These words could be said to be a slap in the face, but after thinking about it carefully, Elder Mo's words made some sense. People with high talent would usually be able to learn it easily, but people with average talent would never be able to learn it. Even if you put in ten times more effort than others, or even more, it wouldn't help.

But even if Elder Mo's words made sense, I still felt uncomfortable. Then, Elder Mo spoke out: "Ye Fei, I feel that your talent is very average, Bing Bing is even better than you."

If Elder Mo was being tactful, then those words were straightforward. In an instant, my face turned hot and I became extremely embarrassed. I even felt that Elder Mo was looking down on me.

Liu Bing who was sitting in the pavilion suddenly frowned, she stood up and walked over, and said: "Grandfather, you … "You're going a bit too far. If you want to teach, then teach. If not, then don't hurt others. Seriously."

Elder Mo replied without a care: "Bing Bing, grandfather is speaking the truth. With Ye Fei's talent, even if he were to learn for ten years, he wouldn't be able to learn Eight-diagram Fist. In my opinion, why don't we give up as soon as possible? Grandfather taught him other Martial Arts s, he does not expect to become an expert, but it is fine to be on guard. "

This sentence was akin to a fierce slap on my face. My entire face was burning with shame. For a moment, I wanted to walk away. I didn't want to learn. But after thinking about it, I still gave up on this impulse. What kind of person was the Elder Mo?

Thinking of this, I braced myself and stood still. I didn't say anything.

However, Liu Bing was angry, wrinkled her nose, and curled her lips: "Grandfather, you're going too far! Ye Fei, let's go. I'll find someone else to teach you another day. Oh right, don't forget to take away those jars of wine. " Saying that, Liu Bing pulled me.

Elder Mo's face was calm, neither angry nor happy.

I hesitated before saying, "Liu Bing, forget it. If my talent is average, it would be the same if I could get anyone to teach me. Elder Mo is a rarely seen expert, getting his guidance is also my honor. Don't get involved in this matter, I still want to learn from him. "

Liu Bing said angrily: "Ye Fei, are you stupid? Don't you understand that I don't want to teach you? You have a thick face, but I can't stand it. If you don't want to leave, then stay here, I'll leave first. " With that, she shook off my hand and walked out. When she reached the entrance of the backyard, the Uncle Fu just happened to come by.

At this time, the Elder Mo smiled and glanced at me, then said: "Ye Fei, there are eight sets of fists at the lower level of the Eight-diagram Fist. I'll teach you four sets first, and see how much you can digest."

After saying that, Elder Mo completed another three sets of punches, causing me to be completely confused.

In the end, Elder Mo let me think about it myself, and then Elder Mo went to the courtyard in front. After about half an hour, Liu Bing came over with a smile. She walked over to me and said, "Why didn't you leave earlier?"

It's better to learn something than to learn nothing.

Liu Bing nodded her head, but suddenly the corner of her mouth raised, revealing a smile, and said: "Let me tell you something, grandfather was praising you just now."

Praise me?

I say, stop trying to make me happy, my aptitude is ordinary, Elder Mo is praising me?

Liu Bing said in all seriousness: "Just now, Grandfather said these words were on purpose to agitate you; he wants to test your mental endurance. He said that if you practice martial arts one time, you will inevitably face all kinds of shocks and torments. He said that actually, your aptitude was not the best, but it is not that stupid either. After which, she curled her lips.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in my heart. "Really? Did Elder Mo really say that?"

Liu Bing rolled her eyes at me and said, "How could I lie to you? "You can continue to train. I'll go cook a few dishes for you and have a drink with grandpa tonight." Then, Liu Bing left, her back showing incomparable happiness.
