Chapter 52: A million points
Teacher Dongfangbo’s question successfully aroused the interest and thinking of all the students.
After more than ten minutes, the students were all talking and gave almost hundreds of answers.
Finally, Teacher Dongfang Bo spoke.
"Everyone has been exposed to a considerable amount of martial arts knowledge through the influence of their ears and eyes. Everyone has their own opinions on the essence of martial arts."
"But what everyone said is either too mystical or too abstract..."
"In my opinion, the essence of martial arts is actually one thing - to use all things in the world for one's own use, strengthen the body, and evolve life."
Dongfang Bo's rhetoric is not only for newcomers like Tang Duo and Zhou Yi who are still wandering at the gate of martial arts.
Even for junior high school students like Zhang Tai and Qu Chongzhi who have already been exposed to martial arts secrets, it is very new.
But how to describe this theory?
Too straightforward!
Sophisticated yet mysterious, high-end and classy, it’s totally out of this world!
But the more people think about it, the more they feel it makes sense.
Since starting to practice martial arts, everyone has never stopped asking for it.
Whether it’s decoctions or elixirs, isn’t this “taking everything in the world for one’s own use”?!
but......
This is how martial arts started, will it still be like this in the future?
If this is the case, the martial arts in their imagination is a little too simple.
Dongfang Bo looked at everyone and asked with a smile, "Do you think I have exposed your mysterious fantasy about martial arts?"
Everyone was speechless and acquiesced.
Dongfang Bo: "People have the Three Treasures of essence, energy and spirit, the earth has the Three Treasures of water, fire and wind, and the sky has the Three Treasures of the sun, moon and stars. Martial arts training is actually the Three Treasures and Nine Refinings. The process of the Three Treasures and the Nine Refinings is divided into a number of small stages, each of which
Each stage requires different kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as assistance.”
"The way of martial arts, to put it bluntly, is one yuan, two rituals, three talents, four images, five elements, six combinations, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine heavens, and nine realms."
"And these nine realms can actually be subdivided into three major stages."
"One yuan, two rituals and three talents are the first stage, focusing on the essence, energy and spirit of human beings; four images, five elements and six combinations, focusing on the essence, energy and spirit of the earth; seven stars, eight trigrams and nine heavens, focusing on the essence, energy and spirit of heaven."
"The human body, heaven and earth, and the universe, when you can use all their powers for your own use, the world will be at your feet!"
Dongfang Bo's words left everyone speechless.
Teachers have always been very secretive about the realm of martial arts.
The reasons given were also such as "Don't aim too high".
Just like there is no point in teaching calculus to primary school students, there is indeed no point in telling students the future path of martial arts too early.
In this regard, the entire society has even formed an unspoken rule.
Even on the Internet, there is very little detailed knowledge about the realm of martial arts.
It is said that it is to prevent martial arts power from being used maliciously, just like the ban on guns in previous lives!
If a powerful warrior does evil, the harm will be far more serious than guns and ammunition.
In this regard, this warrior society has formed a tacit understanding, and all the students are accustomed to it!
But Dongfangbo told everyone all this clearly, completely refreshing everyone's understanding.
Dongfangbo didn't pay attention to all the students' doubts.
"Knowledge is the source of all progress. No matter what efforts you make, you must first find the right direction. It is important to keep your head down and pull the cart, but it is even more important to look up and see the road!"
"Since I am your class teacher, I will also implement my ideas."
"My request to everyone is the same. Be knowledgeable first and then specialize. If you don't have any knowledge, just trying to find a way to death will only make the road narrower and narrower!"
"I will not keep any knowledge private, nor will I be secretive."
"My first request to everyone is that everyone must be proficient in at least three sword skills, three sword skills, three boxing skills, and three footwork skills every semester!"
"ah?"
As soon as Dongfang Bo finished speaking, all the students in the classroom were stunned.
Is this okay?
You must know that since childhood, teachers have always told them a truth - bite off more than you can chew!
Not only that, people often hear phrases such as "One trick can make people eat all over the world" and "One move can defeat ten enemies".
But the first lesson Teacher Dongfang Bo taught them directly subverted their thinking.
"Teacher Dongfang, our energy is limited, so it should be enough to specialize in one weapon, one boxing technique, and one footwork, right?"
Dongfang Bo: "Why would your former teacher tell you this? Are you biting off more than you can chew?"
The student who just spoke didn't say anything, but his meaning couldn't be clearer!
The teacher said, and...there won't be that many questions in the exam!
Dongfang Bo said disdainfully, "If you bite off more than you can chew, if you try one trick all over the place, it's only for mediocre people. With their meager brain capacity, they can only master that one trick."
"One trick has been used all over the world. What should I do if this trick is cracked? Do I wait to die?"
"If you don't know a few hundred million points about everything, do you have the nerve to brag that you are a genius? Remember, I said "hundred million", not "one"!"
quiet.
You can hear the needle drop.
In the classroom, you can even hear the gasps of many students.
This Dongfang teacher... is too different?
Even Tang Duo heard such a statement for the first time.
I know how to do everything, is this what a true genius should look like?
At this moment, Tang Duo couldn't help but think of some great masters in his previous life.
The fields covered by Leonardo da Vinci include drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology and cartography.
Einstein was not only outstanding in physics, but also outstanding in music. He was even able to perform with a professional orchestra.
For example, Newton was an encyclopedic "all-rounder" who had outstanding achievements in mechanics, mathematics, thermal science, astronomy, philosophy, and theology.
...
All of these are not enough.
Perhaps, everything can be understood a little bit, this is the way of true genius!
So shocking!
The first lesson Dongfang Bo taught them completely shattered everyone's three views.
Even Tang Duo was extremely uncomfortable with it!
It's normal to think about it. If there was no system and no additional abilities, Tang Duo would not be considered a genius at all.
In other words, even with the system and additional abilities, Tang Duo still hasn't changed his mind.
While everyone was shocked, Dongfang Bo dropped another depth bomb.
"Our class will be very free from now on. If you need anything, you can go to the classes of teachers Guan Yunni and Gu Zhengping at any time."
"If you encounter something you don't understand, everyone should find a solution on your own. Teachers, libraries, funds, and knowledge are all open to you. If you still can't meet the requirements...it can only be said that you are not geniuses enough!"
Everyone: "..."
Is this really the teaching model in high schools?
Are you kidding me?
Dongfang Bo: "I'll give you a week to think about it. You can decide for yourself which courses you want to take. Of course, you can also consult with the teacher. After a week, Tang Duo, you will submit the compiled information to me."
"After the materials are submitted, I only look at the results. If you don't meet the standards, you can transfer to another class yourself. I can only say that you are not suitable for Class 1 of Wushu!"
"That's it, get out of class is over."
After Dongfang Bo finished speaking, he left gracefully.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Chapter completed!
