Chapter 728 745: Guidance and Comprehension
Of course, Lin Mu knew that even if he put in all his effort, he wouldn't be able to harm Grandpa Su because this old man, just like the old man at home, had strength so formidable it was almost abnormal!As he faced Lin Mu, who rushed over like a shadow, Grandpa Su remained steadily in place, but just as Lin Mu's fist was about to hit him, Grandpa Su seemed to see Lin Mu's move and effortlessly dodged it with a tilt of his head!
"Damn, even with such speed, he can dodge so effortlessly. Truly abnormal, just like the old man!" Lin Mu exclaimed inwardly.
After dodging, Grandpa Su's skinny figure moved suddenly, and an invisible force erupted from his bones!
Bang, bang, bang! A series of dull hitting sounds! And each clash was excruciating for Lin Mu!
It must be said, Grandpa Su's body was too tough! And tough in an abnormal way, facing Grandpa Su head-on for a few moves felt like hitting a steel plate!
No matter how he struck, the pain would never be on the steel plate, and the more force he used, the more painful it became for himself! Now, Lin Mu had that feeling! Fighting against such a worldly master was practically a death wish!
In just a few seconds, over twenty moves exchanged at high speed made Sophie dizzy watching from the side!
Sophie basically couldn't see how the two were attacking each other, she couldn't even see their shadows clearly, appearing here one moment, and then jumping to another place the next!
The fighting frequency got faster and faster, and Lin Mu started to feel at a loss for what to do! It wasn't that he wanted such a fast pace, but he was being led by Grandpa Su. Grandpa Su's attack frequency was so fast that Lin Mu had to increase his defensive frequency!
A series of attacks made Lin Mu feel like he was a child battling an adult in front of Grandpa Su, easily manipulated and toyed with by Grandpa Su!
The rhythm of the confrontation was completely controlled by Grandpa Su, who sped up when he wanted to and slowed down at will, completely dizzying Lin Mu!
Grandpa Su tested dozens of moves, and finally stretched out his arm, which bent like a long snake, bypassed Lin Mu's defense, and subdued him with a throat lock!
"What a superb technique!" Lin Mu couldn't help but exclaim.
In the earlier fight, Lin Mu was keenly aware that even though he seemed to have fought Grandpa Su for dozens of moves, if Grandpa Su really intended to subdue him, it could have been done within the first ten moves!
Amazing!
Grandpa Su's strength far exceeded Lin Mu's expectations before the fight began, he was too formidable!
"Grandpa is amazing!" Sophie cheered from the side.
"Grandpa Su, indeed formidable, the junior truly admires you from the heart!" Lin Mu sincerely praised.
"Hehe, your skills are not bad either, better than I expected. I've basically found your breakthrough point!" Grandpa Su said, patting Lin Mu's shoulder.
"Really?" Lin Mu's eyes flickered. If he could find his breakthrough point, it would be another big boost to his own strength.
"Yes, come on, let's go inside and chat slowly, make a cup of tea to enjoy!" Grandpa Su said.
Entering the living room, Grandpa Su picked up a teacup and took a light sip, then said, "Lin Mu, actually, if you want to break through, it's very simple, you just need to do one thing!"
"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.
"Forget all the moves you've learned. The moves you've learned are deeply imprinted in your mind, and it is these moves that restrict your instinctive performance. Lin Mu, a true master always adapts to the situation, there are no fixed moves in combat. If you want to break through, you must forget the moves you've memorized and rely on your instincts to perform!" Grandpa Su said.
"Forget the moves? But these are all remembered; saying to forget them is impossible," Lin Mu said perplexed.
"Haha, of course, what I mean by forgetting is not truly forgetting the moves, but in combat, don't use the learned moves. To put it plainly, don't use fixed moves in a duel, use more exploratory and free improvisation, have your own fighting moves, rely on the body's natural reactions. With your abilities, if you become proficient in natural reactions, it will be a major breakthrough for you, and your level will reach another tier!" Grandpa Su explained earnestly, sparing no effort.
After listening to Grandpa Su's words, Lin Mu nodded, seemingly understanding a point that Jinge had mentioned!
In every fight, indeed, he always used fixed moves without exploratory reliance on his own experiences!
Grandpa Su's words seemed to be an awakening call in a dream!
What Grandpa Su said was correct, moves are inflexible, no matter the moves, there are ways to counter them!
If an enemy encountered happened to know how to counter those moves, then it'd be over!
A true master uses moves instinctively, no matter what, no one can have learned them because these moves are improvised, changing according to the opponent's changes, not even knowing oneself, so others definitely can't have a counter unless they meet someone more skilled!
"Martial Arts, when you reach a peak, will have infinite variations, with your own unique insights. Otherwise, where does the so-called supreme martial arts peak come from? Martial arts forms were surely created by someone, so when you reach a peak, you can create your own, have your own methods for moves, and when they are passed down, they become what are now called martial arts manuals." Grandpa Su continued.
Lin Mu nodded, feeling Grandpa Su's words had great enlightenment, "Indeed, who created martial arts? Surely the supreme martial artists who reached a certain peak, and the martial arts they created were based on their own freestyled insights and then processed, recorded, and became martial arts manuals. Otherwise, the martial arts manuals can't appear naturally; all the manuals were created by martial artists!"
Lin Mu admired Grandpa Su's insights immensely; such a simple issue seemed to have never crossed his mind. Truly, the simpler the matter, the harder it is to think thoroughly!
No particular move instructions, just a matter of a few words, and Lin Mu was enlightened!
At Lin Mu's level, he had already perfected learning in terms of moves, so instruction on moves could never lead to a breakthrough! What Lin Mu needed to break through was not the move, but his own Heart Demon! With Grandpa Su's insights, Lin Mu had found a direction, making a breakthrough much easier now!
It seemed like this trip was not in vain; Grandpa Su was indeed a great master of martial arts!
To be precise, he probably had surpassed the peak of martial artists because he already had a unique understanding of martial arts!
After discussing martial arts, Grandpa Su started talking about Sophie, which perhaps was Grandpa Su's most concerned topic!
"Lin Mu, you've been in Wancheng for quite a while; how is your relationship with Feifei progressing?" Grandpa Su glanced at Sophie and asked Lin Mu.
