"What a 'national matter, it is our duty to do so'!"

The light in Mr. Gu's eyes flashed, and he said with emotion: "You can put national affairs above personal safety. This alone is enough to prove that the old man is not wrong about the person!"

"Gu Lao's words are serious," Chen Yuan said seriously: "China is in a troubled period. It is the time for us to contribute to the country. The 'Shadow' organization harbors evil intentions and is full of evil. It is causing harm to the Chinese martial arts world. All our Chinese warriors can benefit from it.

Punish him."

"Well said," Mr. Gu nodded approvingly.

His voice fell silent, and he continued: "However... this task is top secret. Currently, the only people in Linda who know about it are you, me, Dean Lu Fengwu, and Principal Gu Jiancang. Once you know it, you must not tell others.

Including your parents, otherwise once the plan is exposed, I am afraid it will bring disaster to your life."

"I understand." Chen Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "When will we start executing the plan?"

"Don't worry," Mr. Gu muttered: "Su Qingxuan has just suffered a setback, and he is like a frightened bird at this moment. It may not be that easy to gain his trust. In addition, although your strength is acceptable, it is not enough to support this task.

To start the 'Plan', you have to wait at least until your cultivation reaches level F."

"F-level..." Chen Yuan murmured, looking thoughtful.

Mr. Gu raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "What, are you having difficulty?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "There is one thing I have never been able to figure out."

"My cultivation has long reached the point of breakthrough. I have clearly felt several signs of imminent breakthrough before, but after trying several times, I am always stuck at the bottleneck. After much thinking, I still can't find the reason."

"Want to know the reason?" Gu Laowei smiled.

"I think." Chen Yuan nodded seriously.

"Let me give you an analogy," Mr. Gu returned to the couch and sat down, and said slowly: "Although an artificially ripened fruit tree can grow luxuriant branches and abundant fruits in a short period of time, its foundation is fragile and its successors are weak.

, in the long run, they grow much more slowly than trees that grow naturally. On the contrary, those trees that take root in the soil from the seedling stage and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, although their early growth is not as good as artificially matured trees, over time, their roots will

Taking shape, one day it will surpass the former and leave it far behind."

"This principle is also true for you. It only took you just three months from 'emerging' to 'radiant'. Although your cultivation speed is much faster than others, your martial arts foundation is still shallow, and your strength has increased to

To a certain extent, it will naturally encounter bottlenecks and become unsustainable."

After listening to Mr. Gu's words, Chen Yuanshen agreed.

He straightened up, half-kneeling on the couch, bowed respectfully to Mr. Gu, and said sincerely: "Please teach me, Mr. Gu."

Mr. Gu smiled and waved his hand, and said calmly: "In martial arts, everyone will encounter problems of one kind or another. As you just said, your strength has reached or even exceeded the F-level standard. To break through the bottleneck, it is nothing more than

Four words 'lay a solid foundation'."

"Lay a solid foundation." Chen Yuan recited it silently and listened carefully.

Mr. Gu paused for a moment, then continued: "Since you started practicing till now, you have put almost all your efforts on the cultivation and strengthening of the techniques. As a result, your actual combat ability has been greatly improved, but on the basis of 'martial arts'

But it is completely blank. Without a 'step-by-step' process, it is naturally difficult to achieve 'what will happen when conditions are ripe'. If you want to solve the current predicament as soon as possible, you must devote more time and energy to the practice and consolidation of the 'martial arts foundation'.

When the martial body is strong, the Dantian is stable, the acupoints are wide open, and the Qi channels are connected, then if you try to break through, you will be able to achieve it in one fell swoop and there will be no more obstacles."

"I see……"

After listening to Mr. Gu's words, Chen Yuan was suddenly enlightened.

In his inherent concept, the concept of cultivation is to become stronger and stronger again.

As long as the strength is enhanced, all problems will be easily solved.

In this way, the prerequisite for "becoming stronger" is ignored, which is to have a solid and reliable foundation in martial arts.

No matter how strong you are, it has become a "tree without roots and water without a source" and it is difficult to make further progress.

Part of the reason for this is that there is no explanation of "ancient martial arts theory" in high school courses.

The more critical reason lies in Chen Yuan's own lack of emphasis on the foundation of martial arts.

After listening to Mr. Gu's words, he suddenly realized that he had made misunderstandings in cultivation, and also understood Mr. Gu's good intentions in insisting on classifying himself into the "Xuan" class without any hesitation in offending others.

Thinking of this, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and guilt quietly arises.

Seeing the change in his expression, Mr. Gu had already roughly guessed what he was thinking.

He said in a slow voice: "If you understand the past, you can't remonstrate, and you can chase after what has come. Let the past things pass. As long as you can discover your own problems in time and clarify the direction of future cultivation, breaking through the realm is just a 'ripe thing'

That’s all.”

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, I know what to do." Chen Yuan nodded heavily and said with firm eyes.

Mr. Gu smiled happily and said: "Okay, after talking for so long, it's time for the old man to go into seclusion. After you are divided into classes, your college life will officially begin. Cherish every day of your practice in Linda."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "Mr. Gu, when will you be able to leave seclusion?"

"You can't say for sure, it could be three months at the earliest, or half a year at the earliest." Mr. Gu sighed and said, "My injury is quite special. I have to concentrate on resting without distracting thoughts. This 'exit' is a special case.

After today, until the end of the first semester of my freshman year, I’m afraid you and I won’t be able to see each other again.”

Seeing that Chen Yuan looked guilty, he added: "In the past few months when I am away, you must work harder and practice harder, and strive to break through to F level as soon as possible. In addition, you must keep in mind that you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you must not worry about it."

When people are fighting, focus more on yourself. I hope that the day the old man comes out of seclusion, he will see a brand new you."

"Yeah, definitely."

Chen Yuan said with an moved expression, "Students must remember the teachings and not dare to neglect them for a moment."

"Go." Mr. Gu waved his hand and closed his eyes slightly, seeming very tired.

Chen Yuan stood up gently, walked slowly to the door, looked back and took a deep look, then turned and left.

…

…

When I left the "Guwu Academy" office building, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The sky was dark, dotted with stars, and a crescent moon was hidden among the clouds, shedding a faint moonlight.

The breeze gently blew through the woods on both sides, rustling the leaves.

The cicadas sing loudly on the trees in the summer night, adding a bit of life to the quiet campus.

Chen Yuan walked alone on campus, crossing the campus paths and heading towards the dormitory.

After a conversation with Mr. Gu, the remaining "knot" in his heart has been completely resolved.

The chaotic thoughts during this period were finally sorted out.

Chen Yuan finally understood that Mr. Gu had assigned himself to the "Xuan" class so that he could avoid unnecessary disputes, concentrate on training, and lay a solid foundation. As for the "misunderstandings" that occurred during the period, it was Dean Lu and Gu

It was caused by poor communication between Lao and Fu Changming.

What worries him right now is the matter of sneaking into the "Shadow" organization and acting as an undercover agent.

In fact, even if Mr. Gu didn't say anything, Chen Yuan understood why the other party chose him.

Ever since he was trapped in "Blackwood Town", Mr. Hong has proposed to introduce himself to Su Qingxuan more than once.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to invite "Fu Bo", a veteran of the "Shadow" organization, and Su Jin'er, Su Qingxuan's granddaughter, to pave the way for his "plan".

However, due to the sudden outbreak of the "monster tide", the first "recommendation plan" ended in failure.

Two months later, Mr. Hong struck again.

And appeared in front of him as a formal member of the "Shadow" organization.

From Mr. Hong's words, Chen Yuan learned that he had received "special care" from Su Qingxuan and that he was intentionally trained as a "preparatory successor."

After thinking for a while, he realized that this must be the result of the joint efforts of Uncle Fu and Mr. Hong.

Needless to say what happened next.

After five years of official preparation and careful deployment, Mr. Hong's second "recommendation plan" failed again, and a group of "shadow" organization members were imprisoned as a result.

Chen Yuan was not sure whether Su Qingxuan and his men would take action against him again.

But he can confirm that when Mr. Hong sneaked into the "Silent Night Jungle", he must have understood that this trip was extremely risky.

The reason why he "does it even though he knows it is impossible to do" is probably because he received some kind of instruction.

From this point of view, he does have the value for Su Qingxuan to "focus on".

Therefore, it is obviously much easier to infiltrate the "Shadow" organization by yourself as an "undercover" than for ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan was filled with emotion.

Mr. Gu can entrust such an important task to himself, obviously because of his trust in himself.

As a Chinese warrior, no matter how great the risk is, he is bound to succeed or not.

The most important task at the moment is to first lay a solid foundation according to the guidance of caring for the elderly.

Wait until you break through to level F, and then carefully consider things related to the "mission".

…

Unknowingly, Chen Yuan had arrived downstairs in the dormitory.

I swiped my fingerprint at the door and walked up the stairs.
