Chapter 2232: What You See Isn't Far Enough

As for Wang Yiyi’s guidance, Yao Bingyuan believed in it wholeheartedly.

Except…

When it came to Talent…

After hearing Lin Tian’s earlier remarks, it was as if a seed of obsession had been planted in Yao Bingyuan’s heart; she couldn’t help turning this question over and over in her mind!

Talent determines everything!

At first glance, there’s not the slightest problem with that statement!

Yao Bingyuan also very much agreed with what Wang Yiyi said.

Yet when she recalled Lin Tian’s words just now, she faintly felt she’d grasped onto something.

Now.

Facing Wang Yiyi, the doubt in her heart made it impossible to hold back; she asked directly.

Of course Talent determines everything!

Isn’t Wang Yiyi’s terrifying achievement precisely because of her Talent?

Many people in the Martial Soul Garden were dumbfounded by the question Yao Bingyuan asked.

Lee Suxi, Yu Xiaomeng and the others all froze for a moment, eyes wide.

“Something this obvious, and Junior Sister Yao actually asked it out loud!”

Zhuge Miao Yi couldn’t help crying out in surprise. She turned to glance at Lin Tian, then said, “Cousin-in-law… could it be she’s overthinking because of what you said just now?”

Don’t you all not believe it?

Would her heart for Cultivation really be shaken by a few words from me?

Lin Tian curled his lip, speechless.

“I just hope Xiao Yuan doesn’t get the wrong idea!”

At this moment, Lee Suxi was a bit worried; she sighed softly.

By now, Lee Suxi could be said to know Yao Bingyuan’s temperament like the back of her hand.

For anything at all, as long as she’s decided on it, or as long as there’s been some suspicion brewing over time, she’ll be extremely persistent.

Receiving guidance from Wang Yiyi right before her eyes was supposed to be a good thing, a great chance to possibly take another step forward.

If something unexpected happened, that would be troublesome!

“Junior Sister Yao, saying that Talent determines everything isn’t wrong! But to be specific, Talent can be said to play the biggest role!”

Wang Yiyi nodded to Yao Bingyuan and replied, “Your Talent determines whether you can cultivate at all, and what upper limit you can reach! Talent also lets you recognize what level you can attain, so you don’t blindly charge ahead! What question do you have?”

“Sister Yiyi’s words aren’t wrong either!”

Yao Bingyuan’s delicate brows knitted together. She couldn’t help looking up toward where Lin Tian was sitting, then said to Wang Yiyi, “It’s just… Sister Yiyi, if we set aside resources and backing and only compare the self, then among Cultivation Talent, Cultivation mindset, and Cultivation Comprehension, which is more important?”

For a Cultivator, what people usually call Talent is the body’s innate ability and conditions to train in Martial Arts!

For example, in cultivating Martial Arts, some people are born with their Ren and Tong Meridians naturally unobstructed; practicing a compatible Magic will yield twice the results for half the effort!

That is the manifestation of one’s own Talent!

Under normal circumstances.

Almost no one pays much attention to things like mindset and Comprehension!

Mindset—that thing is too hard to define!

And Comprehension is also vague and illusory!

Testing a person’s Comprehension is not as solid as actual Talent, where Cultivation can proceed steadily and rapidly!

A sudden enlightenment after decades?

What use is that?

It’s already taken up dozens of years of time!

Who dares to gamble on that, who dares to waste their youth and Life span!

Thus.

In most cases, nearly everyone neglects so‑called Comprehension and mindset!

Even Wang Yiyi was a bit stunned; she blinked and said, “Mindset? Comprehension? How did you suddenly think of this question?”

The others in the Martial Soul Garden were also full of confusion.

Even Lee Suxi was stunned once more.

“Lin Tian, do you think mindset and Comprehension are very important?”

This question had arisen because of Lin Tian, so Lee Suxi couldn’t help looking toward him and asking in a low voice.

At this moment.

Lin Tian had already seen what Yao Bingyuan wanted to say.

He quietly nodded to himself.

Just now, what he wanted to tell Lee Suxi and the others was that Wang Yiyi’s claim that Talent determines everything was extremely fallacious!

At the very least.

On the path of Cultivation, he felt Comprehension and mindset were the two most important factors, followed only then by Talent and resources!

It was just that the few of them didn’t take it seriously and dismissed it.

They even thought his view was extremely wrong!

He hadn’t expected that Yao Bingyuan would actually keep it in mind!

“Master Lee, then do you feel Talent is the most important?”

Lin Tian smiled faintly and asked Lee Suxi in return.

Lee Suxi stared fixedly at the young man before her for a long while.

She suddenly felt the youth before her had become unfathomable!

Setting aside his astounding Medical Skill, that calm composure in facing anything at all was already enough to make one puzzled and moved!

From the very first moment when he healed her injuries and helped her break through to the Martial Venerate Realm, to him facing Zhuang Youxian and the others, he’d remained as steady and composed as could be!

All of this—

Only now did Lee Suxi carefully think it through.

And four words couldn’t help flashing through her heart—”the more you think, the scarier it gets.”

How old is Lin Tian?

Around twenty, right?

Would any other genius from Martial Arts City be able to do this?

The more Lee Suxi thought about it, the more shocked and stunned she became.

What exactly is his backing?

Is it really just his own Medical Skill?

Or is it Wang Yiyi?

If it were Wang Yiyi, how could he possibly treat her like this!

Anyone else, even facing an old classmate, would probably be itching to kneel and fawn over her!

But Lin Tian, on the contrary, seemed to go against Wang Yiyi at every turn!

All sorts of doubts kept swirling through her mind.

Her thoughts raced for a while; then Lee Suxi paused and said to Lin Tian, “Talent really is too important! Look… Xiao Yi is the best example!”

“Master Lee, Talent is important, but it’s not the most important! The reason you don’t understand is simply… that what you’ve seen doesn’t extend far enough!”

Lin Tian lightly shook his head and said with a smile.

He understood Lee Suxi’s mindset very well; it was nothing more than the limitations of her experience!

If she were a Cultivator, a Cultivator who cultivated as he had in his past life, she wouldn’t see it this way!

Many times.

Once you reach a major bottleneck, it’s no longer something Talent and resources can decide!

For example, breaking through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage—simply piling up resources and relying only on Talent can no longer decide everything!

At that point.

You have to depend on Comprehension and mindset!

A good mindset determines your resolve and perseverance in Cultivation.

Good Comprehension is what determines the breakthrough of a realm!

The saying “a hundred years of Cultivation, a single instant of enlightenment”—that’s talking about Comprehension!

A single instant of enlightenment is more terrifying than a hundred years of Cultivation with great Talent and vast resources!

Comprehension isn’t just about breaking through realms; it also plays a huge and decisive role in grasping Spells, Combat Techniques, and so on!

“What I’ve seen doesn’t extend far enough?”

Of course Lee Suxi didn’t understand what Lin Tian meant; her brows furrowed as she asked again in puzzlement.

“Yes. You’re only a Martial Arts Grandmaster, after all!”

Lin Tian smiled, nodding slightly as he replied.

Only a Martial Arts Grandmaster, after all?

Lee Suxi’s face froze, stunned in place.
