Hao gave each of them a nod, and prepared himself.
He closed his eyes. Inhaled once, slow and deep.
Then began the adjustments.
Kurome's advice came first.
He shifted his weight and gently realigned his lower spine. No big movement, just a tilt of the hips and a small tuck of the tailbone.
His center of gravity settled better. His stance no longer wobbled.
It felt as if a loose puzzle piece had finally snapped into place.
Mo Xixi's tip came next.
He relaxed the tension in his left leg. The one that had been too stiff before. Bent the knee just enough. Now both legs could work in harmony.
No more awkward dipping midair.
He gave a light bounce in place.
Way smoother.
Then Tian Lu's quiet correction.
He focused inward. Guided his solar qi from his dantian through his core, flowing cleanly up to his shoulders. No pauses.
No hesitations. Just a smooth, uninterrupted path.
