I already suspected that you would choose to do that, I will not try to dissuade to let go of your hopes or anything, but I just hope that you are aware of how difficult your path was going to be .
Losing Blood Vitality normally meant either the person was paralyzed or he was dead and even if he was not any of the two, it meant that his path in Marital Arts was crippled, at least that how it normally went, that's why I'm beginning to believe that something was wrong with your body .
I still have no answer on how you were able to breakthrough in the first place, but as I said before your breakthrough was quite rough that it kept some hidden injuries in your body as a result, those are slight injuries that is going to heal after a 3 to 4 days at most .
But it was your comprehension that I believe helped you in achieving this and I do hope that for your sake, that you would be able to continue having this high level of comprehension, otherwise if the problem of Blood Vitality or you were unable to gain a deeper understanding to Solid Rock Fist Technique, your progress might stagnant .
I'm telling you this, because even though I said that I won't try to dissuade you, I still want to advise you not to be reckless in your try to comprehend this new skill, I hope you will not ignore increasing your mastery over the Solid Rock Fist and whatever that other Technique you were using to temper your chest with .
I was hearing to the Master's lecture in silent as he handed me the Martial Skill book, I kept nodding my head, indicating that I had understood what he was saying, I somewhat already anticipated that he might go back to point at the loss of my Blood Vitality, he was attributing my success to my ability to comprehend, but in fact it, was all the work of the panel .
It allowed me to give birth to Blood Qi, even though my Blood Vitality shouldn't have been able to support that, but just as I was about to rejoice how lucky I was to have that panel in my mind, my nerves suddenly tensed at the fact that Master was able to point out that he knew of me using another technique in tempering my upper body .
" Master knew .
Of course, I knew it was clear that you were going to be tempering your whole body, connecting all your meridians like this, Solid Rock Fist was only capable of Tempering the arms and shoulders and slightly temper the chest, but the effect is almost negligible .
But your body's meridians were now intertwining with one another and connecting your whole body, the technique you used to achieve this were now intertwining with one another as well, meaning that for you to go forward, you will need to be progressing in those techniques as well, this road you are taking is The Full Body Refinement Road, what didn't you know that .
As he finished explaining all this to me, I was staring at him wide-eyed and mouth that was opened wide, he seeing my reaction, quirked his eyebrows at me and asked me if I had any clue about what he was talking about, my reply was already apperant on my face, but I shook my head to confirm his suspicions .
The expression on his face soon turned into a frown and I barely blinked then I saw him holding my hand again and start inspecting me again, after a few seconds he let go and sighed disappointedly and said :
And here I thought that Lu San tricked you into doing something crazy like he always does, your meridians have aligned themselves with each other perfectly now, any try to force that balance they had reached, will only end in your future in Martial Arts be cut off .
Out of the blue, I got hit on the back of my head, a hit that made the world turn upside down in front of me, it took me a few seconds to recover from this, but Master Chen was continuing to say :
And here I thought, you guy was bold to choose that difficult direction, but no you were just a reckless idiot, just now I was able to see that you used both the Solid Rock Fist and some other Internal Technique that seemed to be similar to it in level or even a bit better .
I also saw that your lower body seemed to have been linked with the meridians of your upper body through the use of Crouching Tiger, how tell me how come did you acquire an Internal Martial Technique and how all of this come to happen ? .
Hearing his startled tone of voice inquiry, I was at loss of what to say, I myself didn't feel that much different from yesterday, I also don't know what this Full Body Refinement was about, I indeed did a few experiments with Crouching Tiger and the Solid Rock Fist, they worked well together .
And I was indeed able to use my Blood Qi to force the energy that was tempering my upper body to be tempering my legs, thinking of creating some balance between my upper body and my lower one, through using the Ferocious Blood Refinement technique to make the tempering effect reach the designated place .
Damn, so what was happening now with me was because I did something crazy as that, now the meridians in my whole body was connected, at least the opened ones that those three techniques were using, as I reached that realization, I felt that my eyes almost fell off their sockets .
I had heard a lot of notifications sounding in my ears, while I was doing that, but I just decided to ignore all of them and focus on the matters in hand, but I hadn't expect what I did on a whim to have so much of an impact .
The Master wasn't furious, but he was indeed boiling with confusion, I wasn't the one to be blaming him, after all, I too was unable to make sense of the confusion here until lately, but even after my confusion was cleared up, I was still unable to help clear his confusion away, I was at loss of how to explain the situation .
My reaction just now told him that I was aware of what was happening, so any chances of playing ignorant about this, had now completely disappeared, so I will need to give an explanation, but how could I .
The true origin of that technique might not be disclosed, I got it by looting a dead body of someone I killed, so telling Master that would be akin to throwing dirt at his face, his reaction would be most likely unsightly, not that currently was the biggest issue here .
" Replaying to Master, I found the manual of this Internal Technique beside a pouch that someone that was being pursued had throw away yesterday on my way back, I was going to leave it there and hurry away, due to the fact that these guys who were pursuing the person who dropped this pouch and that manual had some scary auras .
" I still get goosebumps just remembering their auras, but seeing that they seemed to have not taken notice of me nor have they taken notice of the pouch and the book being thrown away, so seeing that they were a windfall that had fallen into my lap and were in my way, I collected them and skipped away from area .
" I had no clue about what the pouch was until senior brother Lu told me about its name Beast Pouch, yes that was the name Senior Brother Lu told me about, as I was fiddling with it yesterday, I was finally able to use it to .
" At least I thought so, but I only ended up storing my belongings and everything that was on me in it accidentally, I understood that it working had something to do with my Blood Qi, but I was still unable to open it and it seemed that me gaining hold of one already angered senior brother Lu somehow, so he was unwilling to tell me how to use it .
" So I'm still unable to get a clue about what was inside of it, as for the Manual, I read it through and concluded on my own that it was a Martial Technique, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I agree with Master on me being indeed reckless .
" I out of excitement about my breakthrough yesterday, I let it get into my head and tried to circulate my Blood Qi according to the meridians mentioned in that technique, but nothing happened, it was as if my tries to run it was completely futile .
" So after finding this out, I stopped practicing it, I didn't think that there was anything wrong with me, I hope master can forgive my insol... .
You reckless rascal, you really are a reckless disciple, there no need to be worried about you getting killed by others, it seemed that you will be the one who will plot yourself to death .
That was how the Master reacted to me saying this, he first looked at me a bit suspiciously and it was completely understandable, after all, even though I made sure that my story was believable, the story was in the end made up on the spot, so I might have left some loopholes here or there, that was why he looked at me in silence for a few minutes before he said this .
After he said all that, he directly hit me in the back of my head again, then seemed to have accepted some of what I told him as indeed being part of the truth, I still saw that there was some doubts that he was trying hard to bury, he then continued to say :
Where is the Manual of that Technique now, do you still have it, let me take a look at it .
I nodded my head and put the pouch directly in front of him a bit drowsily, his hit just now was almost similar in strength to the truck that hit me and brought me here .
So the booklet was among the things that the pouch sucked in, okay then .
I nodded my head and saw that he took the pouch from my hand and directly began to make the pouch throw up all of its contents, then the master saw the journal and his eyebrows arched at me, his sudden action confused me a little, but I then saw him letting go of the matter .
I was currently staring wide-eyed at what was going in front of me as if witnessing something magical for the first time, trying to act as if this was indeed my first time seeing such a scene, luckily the Master's attention wasn't on me, he was more focused on finding the booklet he was looking for .
I pointed at the booklet and told him where it was, if I hadn't already known about the content of the pouch, I might have missed out on the fact that Master just now took that pill bottle where that Blood Pill was stored in his way for reaching the booklet, even though I was aware of it, I still didn't have any intention to call him out for doing it .
In fact, I felt much more relaxed now with it gone, that Blood Pill made me remember the pill that Old Sun swallowed to get a boost of strength, but at the cost of turning him into a corpse like berserk creature, even if I hadn't put him out of his misery, he would have died after the effect of the pill run out, so he was going to die anyway and it was all because of the effect that pill had, so him taking it away without pressing me for having it was already a good outcome .
After he got the book and read what the cover said, his frown deepened and after he finished reading, he didn't do anything at first, but then I saw him throwing the book at me in frustration and I evaded to get my face blown by that book, then I heard him say while panting after almost losing my life to a book just now, he was saying :
* Of course it won't work, this Technique required the Blood Of Ferocious Beasts to be effective and the higher the grade the better the effect, so that's why it wasn't working for you .
But it seemed that you using your Blood Qi to run this Technique in the end resulted in it it not only working as intended , but it also connected all your meridians together, forcing you to take the path of Full Body Refinement, I can't decide whether you are courageous or whether you are stupid .
I thought that you already knowing what you did, will make you aware of your own struggle, but no, it was out of accident that you did this, as if your progress wasn't already handicapped enough, you went and did this, making progressing forward even more difficult, I'm beginning to feel that it's better for me to kick you out of the Dojo directly, before people throw dirt on my name because of you .
Hearing this, I was beginning to get a bit nervous, after all what he was saying would indeed be quite a problematic turn of events to me, but luckily he seemed to be joking, as he didn't even give me the chance to say anything, he said :
Seeing your confused face from earlier, I don't believe that you are acquainted with what the Path Of Full Body Refinement even meant, am I right ? .
I nodded and without missing a beat, I jumped out of my original place, I already anticipated his next attack and tried to evade it, but the moment I moved away, the strike still landed on the back of my head like before, I saw Master standing in front of me like before even though the hit I got was from the back, quite the indicating of strength .
He continued to say with a content smile on his face :
This Path you have unintentionally choose for yourself, was a path that only a few people can walk through and even more a few number of people who could be able to make a successful run in it, but those who did, were hailed as geniuses among geniuses .
Normally, the practice of Martial Arts in the initial realms of building the foundation focus more on the control of Blood Qi and how vigorous it was to allow a deep body tempering, but it was noted that to temper and refine the whole body, a lot of time will be needed to get results .
So Practitioners begin to instead focus on a certain parts of their bodies to temper and keep achieving breakthroughs towards a higher Realm of practice using that way, but those who tried to do this, ended up in shooting themselves in the foot, being not able to progress any more after completing the 5 initial realms, through this new way .
But a solution was soon found to be able to allow those who did this to continue practice, it was to use their new Blood and Energy to refine and temper the body parts they had left unrefined and untempered .
But at that stage and for those who already had achieved the completion of the 5 Realms of practice, was nothing but a superfluous measure, no strength would be gained by them doing this, their defense in those parts they began tempering might become more sturdier, yes, but their strength will not .
But this was for those who were supposedly able to become experts a must to continue going forward in their Martial Path, so as long they able to do this using this method, or using any other one, everything else would be unimportant to them, so I guess you now have a little bit more understanding to the Path you will be going through .
If you were to succeed, then you will be able to soar into heaven, but if you made the slightest mistake, then you will find yourself in a deep pit without no way out, the Internal Technique that you are using is a bit dangerous to use .
So instead I will teach you verbally the formula of the Internal method to practice the Solid Rock Fist, it shouldn't be as effective as this strange technique, but it should be much safer to use .
SO LISTEN CAREFULLY .
