- 2006 February 1st
I wake up, stretch, and yawn. After doing that, I walk to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and then sit down on a chair in my house. Getting back from China was funny. I actually enjoyed my time there... well, other than that one time that guy tried to scam me, but when I did not fall for his scam, he outright wanted to rob me. Funny dude...
I walk down to my basement, whose lights turn on the second I step in, and I hear Ava's voice: "Good morning, sir. The breakfast is ready in the living room," and I speak, "Good morning, Ava. I eat later; for now, I go and train," and Ava speaks, "But, sir, you can't keep doing this every day; it's not healthy," and I just shake my head and walk to a corner of the basement and open the door. It was a white room inside, which had a big TV, good food, games, and all sorts of other things...
But in the middle of the room, there was a man who looked weak and scared out of his mind... He was strapped to a metal chair and linked to a bunch of medical machines that made sure to keep him alive and also monitored his body 24/7...
"Ah, good morning to you too. Don't worry, this is the last day, ok? I'll let you go after this one. It is the day I am sure I'll master Chi Sipho lifeforce! This is such a good thing, right, for me at least?" And with a dark smile on my face, I put my hand on the guy's face, and then... a second later, my hand glows golden, but not from the power of Iron Fist... This was the power of life force, and, well, it was like a drug to me...
I let go of the man's face, which looked like he had aged at least 3 years, and he was passed out... but still alive... Test 306 was successful! And with this, I have, in some sense, mastered Chi Sipho lifeforce, and with that, the 3 scary, powerful techniques of Chi Absorption and Chi Mind Meld are all learned and mastered in their own way...
In the past month, I have only been training with these 3 techniques other than that. I have also learned a lot about Chi... First off, having the Iron Fist is pretty much like having a cheat. If you're training in Chi, doing anything feels so easy. With Iron Fist, everything about Chi just feels like breathing to me. I mean, I should have noticed this before, even when I did not know anything about Chi. A month ago, when I first got chi, even back then, I was able to learn chi healing and chi detection with little to no effort...
And even Chi healing and Chi detection, I have improved those too. Now I can heal pretty much any cut or even a big wound on my body. Unless someone cuts my arms off, I don't have to worry about getting stabbed anymore. Also, Chi detection has improved a lot. Now I can feel everyone's Chi in a small neighborhood or about a mile, but still, it's not mastered in any sense, but still, that's good since I was mainly training the 3...
Now, about the 3: first off, Chi Absorption is not as broken as I thought it would be. Once I took someone else's Chi, and then I had to make it mine by pretty much playing a game of tug-of-war. If I win, then that someone else's Chi becomes mine fully, but if I fail? Then the Chi goes back to the person I stole it from, but still, even though this technique seems underwhelming, it's not because when I made someone else's Chi my own, I not only had more Chi to play with...
I also noticed while training with Iron Fist that my Iron Fist got stronger... Now, the next natural question comes: Can I just keep taking others' chi and keep getting stronger forever? Will my Iron Fist reach a level where I can punch through buildings? All questions, no answers. Need to do more testing...
Next is Chi Sipho Lifeforce—now this is something that took me the longest time to train and learn, and, well, unlike Chi Absorption, I don't need to make others' lifeforce mine, so just stealing someone else's lifeforce was hard to learn and train, but what scared me was how easy it was for me to just take someone else's lifeforce... and not only that, when I take lifeforce into my body, it's like a drug—that's the best way I can describe it. It feels way too good, like the best feeling ever...
Not only have I noticed my skin get better, but also my hair grew softer, and also I could, in some sense, guess my life force, and from the looks of it, I would have normally lived to 66 years old, but after taking those 3 years from that other guy, I am now pretty sure I will live 3 more years naturally. Also, I noticed how my Chi got warm when I stole that guy's life force... Other than that, yes, there is one drawback for Chi's siphon life force: it takes a lot of Chi—I mean a lot of Chi—to steal someone else's force, but it makes sense; I am stealing life force after all...
And now at the end, the most scary and possibly powerful Chi technique Chi Mind Meld... it was simply broken, no other words needed... When I used Mind Meld, it was like I was jumping into a pool of information and knowledge. I could learn anything just by focusing on it... There are no real drawbacks...
I mean, this does not even take that much Chi to use—no other tug-of-war games or anything! The only drawback I could somewhat pinpoint is that if the person's mind I am jumping into has a lot of information and knowledge, it might take more time to learn what I want from the other person because I need to pretty much skip through the person's mind to find what I want...
And that's how I learned a different complex language, which I did not know before, in mere minutes... Yeah, now I know Mandarin. I cannot only understand it, but I can also read and speak it. My speech is a little off because my mouth has never spoken this language... But still, after a day, I was able to speak Mandarin like I had lived in China for a few years...
Chi mind meld is pretty much a cheat on its own!
