In the practice hall, the previous rostrum spanning over 100 square meters has been taken down and reced with an expansive arena of the same size.


    This arena will serve as the primary location for future students to engage in mutual learning and even acquire martial arts skills from their master.


    Before the arena lies a practice field that features solid wooden flooring. Currently, over a hundred futons are neatly arranged here, and students must sit cross-legged on these futons while attending ss.


    Nanako Ito and Aurora were brimming with excitement, hardly sleeping at all the previous night.


    Their passion for martial arts runs deep, but they have never had the chance to learn authentic martial arts techniques.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Every practitioner of external kung fu dreams of mastering true qi to cultivate both internally and externally, and these two are no different.


    However, amidst their excitement, both of them felt a wave of nervousness. They had never truly practiced martial arts before and were unsure how to channel Qi to the dantian and navigate the meridians, fearing they might struggle to grasp the techniques.


    Just as the two were feeling uncertain, Xion approached them with a smile and asked, “Miss Ito and Miss Aurora, why do you both look so down?”


    “Xion!” The two eximed upon seeing her. Aurora then sighed and shared, “Xion, Nanako and I are quite worried that we won’t be able to keep up. How long did it take you to get started?” Xion pondered for a moment before responding, “In the beginning, it took me over a year just to perceive the meridians and the dantian. After that, it took another year to learn how to circte true energy from the meridians to the dantian. In total, that’s about three years.”


    “Three years?!” Aurora’s face fell in disappointment. “I heard this trainingsts only a maximum of six months, so Nanako and I might not even have enough time to begin…” “That can’t be true!”


    Xion reassured them with a smile, saying, “With both of your talents, I’m confident you’ll do just fine.”


    Nanako Ito replied cheerfully, “We’re just worried that we might not have the talent to perceive what’s inside. Is that truly a matter of talent?”


    Xion thought for a moment and exined, “Perceiving the internal is not as mystical as it sounds. It’s not like you can literally see inside your body; rather, it’s about developing a sense. Ordinary senses are attuned to external stimuli—like the wind, sun, or temperature—allowing us to perceive them intuitively. When ites to true qi movement, however, you need to cultivate your internal senses first. This feeling can only be understood through experience and cannot be easily articted. Once you discover the path, you may one day grasp the deeper intricacies.”


    Continuing, Xion drew aparison, “This sensation is akin to how ordinary people perceive ventriloquism. Are you familiar with that?”


    Nanako instinctively responded, “I’ve seen it on TV; it seems like you can speak using your belly, right?”


    “Exactly,” Xion replied. “It’s actually a specialized vocal technique. This method is quite distinct from regr speech, as it requires controlling your breath through the abdomen, which closely resembles the feelings experienced during martial arts training. When people witness ventriloquism, they often find it astonishing because they don’t understand how someone can produce sound from their abdomen. Moreover, without guidance, it’s rare for anyone to discover the true essence of this technique on their own.”


    “However, for those who grasp the principles behind it, mastering ventriloquism bes quite essible. It’s simr to the difficulty in understanding how to circte true energy through the dantian and meridians.”<fn9bce> Newest update provided by find[?]ovel</fn9bce>


    “To simplify further, think of riding a bicycle. Before bicycles were invented, no one could have envisioned that a two-wheeled vehicle could bnce while being ridden, making it challenging to learn. Finding the right point to maintain bnce is tricky.”


    “Yet, this challenge is often like a thinyer of window paper. If you can’t find the method, you may never break through it in your lifetime. But once you do find the way, it can lead to a moment of profound realization!”
