The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 38: Dark Power Heart
Li Yuan flashed to the side of Li Hu, squatted down to check his injuries, and after finding that he was not seriously injured, he glared at him in dissatisfaction, stood up and faced Wang Yi, bowed and apologized, "My nephew was too reckless and frightened you."

Wang Yi laughed and shook his head: "Mr. Li, this is too polite. Master Yan, help Li Hu go down to have a rest." After saying that, he turned and walked into the pavilion.

"Yes, sir." Yan Zhendong came to Li Hu, bent down to help him up, and supported him as he prepared to walk towards the east wing.

Li Hu endured the cramp in his abdomen and clasped his fists with great effort, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Master Wang, I lost my sense of propriety."

Wang Yi paused slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go down and recuperate first." After that, he came to the stone table and sat down, raised his hand to take out two teacups, picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea.

Li Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed silently, and walked out of the garden with the support of Yan Zhendong.

Li Yuan walked into the pavilion, sat down at the stone table, took the teacup handed to him by Wang Yi, took a sip, and said helplessly: "Li Hu is used to fighting desperately, and he tends to go crazy during battle. He didn't mean to kill you, so I hope you won't be offended."

"I was the one who suggested the duel. What's so strange about that?" Wang Yi laughed dumbly and changed the subject: "Mr. Li, are you here today to protect me?"

"Yes, I was planning to recommend Li Hu to you, but who could have thought that this would happen?" Li Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Hu is his nephew and is considered an elite in the clan. He allowed him to join Wang Yi's guard team in order to secure a good future for him. But who knew that this kid would do something stupid at this time?
"Mr. Li is very optimistic about your nephew?"

"Among the children of the clan, this boy is the most proficient in martial arts and has a great chance of reaching the dark energy level. I originally planned to have him join your guard team so that you could give him some pointers in martial arts, but who would have thought that this boy would be so disappointing."

"Your nephew's character...I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to reach the level of dark energy..."

Wang Yi shook his head slightly. The crazy energy Li Hu displayed during the fight might enhance his combat capability, but if he did not make changes, his achievements in martial arts would probably stop here.

Li Yuan nodded in agreement. He was the one who taught him martial arts, so he knew all the flaws. "It's quite difficult... Li Hu has a lot of experience in guard training, so you can consider it."

Wang Yi pondered for a moment and suggested, "Let him join my secret guard team. His character is suitable." The secret guard team is specifically responsible for handling dirty things for him, so they must be ruthless enough.

"Secret Guards..." Li Yuan frowned. He naturally understood the significance of secret guards. After thinking it over again and again, he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, my friend, just follow my instructions."

"Okay! Then this matter is settled." Wang Yi nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Li Yuan picked up the teacup, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he thanked: "Third son has grown a lot during this period of time. This old man is very pleased. The heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen. Thank you very much, young friend."

Wang Yi chuckled and sighed, "My teacher once said: A teacher's purpose is to teach and resolve doubts. Since I have accepted Li Da as my disciple, I will naturally teach him carefully."

"Hahaha... It is a blessing for my third son to become your disciple." Li Yuan smiled heartily, feeling indescribably happy.

"I plan to go out and travel in a while."

"Traveling? Limin Commercial Bank has not yet finalized its affairs. Would it be inappropriate for you to leave rashly?"

Wang Yi looked at Li Yuan's frown, smiled, and changed the subject: "I wonder what Mr. Li thinks about the matter I mentioned last time?"

Li Yuan showed hesitation on his face. After a moment's hesitation, he still couldn't make up his mind. He shook his head slowly and said, "Regarding the merger of the business companies... I still need to think about it..."

"Okay, this matter really needs to be carefully considered." Wang Yi nodded and raised his glass to indicate.

If the two companies merged, he could just be a hands-off manager. The purpose of establishing a company was not to make money.

"Why do you want to travel? Especially at this critical stage of your business's development." "Meet the warriors of the world, see the world's situation, meet all the creatures of heaven and earth, and find spiritual touches."

"Hmm? Are you about to make a breakthrough, young man?" Li Yuan asked in a serious tone.

"I feel something in my heart... I am not far from the bottleneck..."

"Hiss...young friend's progress...is too shocking."

Wang Yi's mouth was bitter: "I have a flaw in my heart. I am afraid that it is difficult to see through this spiritual barrier... That's why I want to travel around the world."

"Huh? Flaws?" Li Yuan was puzzled. He really didn't notice this. This kid always looked calm and composed. How could he look flawless at all?
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be lying, he could not help but frown deeply and said in a deep voice: "The first level of dark power lies in the heart, which is called the heart level. Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness. The spirit here refers to the heart."

He frowned and stood up, pacing in the pavilion, and slowly explained: "Martial arts training strengthens the body and nourishes the mind. But the mind is illusory and elusive, like a flower in the mist or a moon in the water."

"Since you said that there is a flaw in your heart, it must be that you have some unfulfilled obsessions or some regrets that have not been made up. This flaw may be a stumbling block for you to break through the dark energy, but it can also become a grinding stone on your martial arts path."

Li Yuan stopped and looked at Wang Yi with a sharp gaze: "The path of martial arts is full of difficulties and obstacles. It is a constant challenge to oneself and to surpass one's limits. Your shortcomings are a hurdle on your path of martial arts. Face it, see through it, conquer it, and accept it."

"This is the process of subduing the mind and seeing one's true heart. If one can find one's true self, one can see one's true heart. With your talent, you will definitely have the opportunity to enter the level of a great master of transformation energy."

Wang Yi frowned deeply, carefully considering the other party's words.

It is easy to break a thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to break a thief in the heart!
It is not easy to subdue the monkey in your heart.

He understands the principle of finding his true self and seeing his original mind.

But understanding is one thing, and doing it is another...

He looked up into Li Yuan's eyes and asked solemnly, "How did Mr. Li find his spiritual touch?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the pavilion, raised his head to look at the rising sun in the sky, as if he could see through the dust of time and see his past, and slowly said: "The soul is touched, it is a kind of touch that is hard to describe."

"It may come from an unexpected encounter, a profound realization, or a spiritual resonance. Everyone's spiritual touch is unique because it is closely related to each person's experience, state of mind, and understanding."

He turned around and looked at Wang Yi seriously, his voice deep and powerful: "My soul was touched by a sudden realization between life and death."

As he spoke, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, as if he had returned to the moment when his life was hanging by a thread: "At that time, I competed with others for the position of deputy helmsman, but was accidentally plotted against and fell into a desperate situation surrounded by enemies. The brothers around me fell one by one, and I almost exhausted all my strength."

"Just when I was about to give up, I felt the call from my heart. It told me that I couldn't give up. If I gave up, the elderly and children in my family would be left without support, and the brothers who followed me would have sacrificed their lives in vain..."

The voice gradually became firm and powerful: "If I give up! My family, my brothers' families, and all the people I care about will be retaliated to death by the other party! So I can't give up! I must live! For myself and for the people I care about, I must live!"

"At that moment, I felt an unprecedented spiritual touch. With this, I broke through the mental barrier and successfully entered the dark energy. I also successfully led my brothers to turn defeat into victory and won the position of deputy leader of the branch."

"After that battle, my methods gradually became more ruthless, hence the nickname of Poison Monkey."

After saying this, he sat back in his original seat with emotion on his face, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the cup including the tea leaves in one gulp.
