The old man shook his hand and said, "Research, my ass. I have other matters to discuss with you. Besides, in martial arts, only by comprehending it yourself can you unleash your full potential. No matter how much I teach you, I can't make you achieve complete unity of body and mind."
A master can only lead you to the door; cultivation depends on the individual. There's truth in this saying.
The things you understand by yourself are far more impressive than what others teach you, and you can wield them more skillfully.
Seeing that Chen Nan seemed to have an enlightenment, Xuan Tianji said, "Moves are fixed, but people are living. No matter what move it is, as long as you continually comprehend it, discarding the dross and selecting the essence, one day you can achieve greatness. Remember, moves are created by humans. What you need to do is control the moves, not be shackled by these rigid moves."
Chen Nan nodded.
