He spent the entire night reading the Qi Sword manual, as it was a far more complicated technique than the one he had studied before. After reading he returned to his training room.
He began to focus and organized his thoughts. Starting with a small amount of Qi from his soul, he directed it into his Qi pathways and allowed it to travel according to the technique.
During this first practice, Luke didn't hold his sword, he intended to probe the path with a small amount of Qi to identify any potential issues. This would help prevent hidden problems that could cause a sudden Qi burst in the pathways, which could be dangerous.
First, he chose to check the offensive part of the technique's Qi pathway, which was mostly similar to the basic one.
He completed it without any issues. At the same time, he directed a small portion of Qi into the defensive part of the technique's pathway, maintaining the offensive flow simultaneously.
Luke began to sense danger. He stopped the Qi circulation, but it was too late.
He felt a sharp stab in his brain, like a knife piercing through. The pain wasn't unbearable, but it worried him. Then, he noticed blood dripping from his nose. Within seconds, he lost consciousness...
This time was different from the previous one when he lost consciousness, he regained it just a few seconds later. He began to analyze what happed to him? He already stopped mobilizing Qi in his Qi pathways after he became unconscious .
He had a slight understanding of what had happened to him. To confirm his suspicion, he tried to mobilize Qi only through the defensive part of the technique's Qi pathways. The Qi started from his soul and slowly moved along the defensive section of the pathway. That's when he confirmed his doubt.
Even though he thought he had fully cleared his Qi pathways and had complete control over them, the truth was far from that. It only looked fully cleared—because it was partially true. His main and vital Qi pathways were indeed cleared, but the micro Qi pathways had not yet been fully opened.
When he first attempted the basic technique for Qi argument, he unknowingly cleared the necessary paths in the process, so he didn't notice the difference.
But now, with the advanced technique, which required mobilizing two separate Qi pathways simultaneously, the complexity increased.
Without verifying whether both pathways were fully cleared, the Qi became unstable when he mobilized it. Fortunately, since he had used only a small amount, it didn't cause any serious damage.
After his first attempt and then the second where he focused solely on mobilizing the defensive pathway—the micro Qi paths related to the defensive part of the technique had now been successfully cleared.
Only now did Luke realize that he couldn't ignore the small details and expect everything to go his way just because he was a transmigrator from another world.
Luke began to reprimand himself. 'You thought you had already conquered your Qi pathways just because you refined your soul a hundred times? Are you mad? If you hadn't checked with a small amount of Qi and had instead jumped straight into the technique like before, you would've either truly died or ended up reincarnated into another world again!'
I've been truly reckless, again and again—like some kind of force wants me dead or crippled... or maybe it's all just in my head.
Either way, I need to be extra careful from now on—I must double check my own thoughts before doing anything important that's tied to my life and future.
Without further ado, he began to mobilize both Qi pathways with a smaller volume at the same time to check, and…
succeeded.
So, he took his sword and began to infuse an adequate amount of Qi—both for offensive augmentation and defensive enhancement.
