"Thank you, Wang, for telling me this. I know I have been doing nothing. But you know what? I am tired of blaming others for my own actions. I don't want to live like this! I want to feel good about myself... I want to achieve something on my own," I speak words that sound a little more honest than I wanted them to...
"It's fine; everyone makes mistakes. It's what you do after. You can go back to drinking or quit and wake up. I still don't believe you or like you; I never will, but if you want to change, Xiù, I believe in you. After all, you do have the blood of the Yang family." Wang spoke in an amused tone as he stood up and slowly walked away. He seemed to have a lighter heart, and I did not realize that Wang had left a smile on my face...
The gentle air hits my face, making me break out of my thoughts and think about something more important...
'Ah, ok, now that I know moreo, the next thing is to test this body and see the changes that my "full body foundation" has brought to me. I also can feel the air around me, the Qi in the air; it's much easier to sense now. Not only that, I feel lighter and stronger; also, the Qi in my body seems more stable than all the things I know till now. Ok, then, let's truly start testing.'
I stand up and look at the tree behind me, and without a second thought, I throw a punch at the tree fast. My fist hits the tree, and the tree does not move, but there were cracks on the outer bark of the tree... I look down at my fist and mutter, "Strong and tough, huh? That barely hurt." And then I dashed, moving as fast as Id. I did not test or know how fast I was moving, but I knew I had more stamina than before for sure. But I did realize one thing: before, when I used Qi breathing, I was not as fast as this. Right now I am not even using Qi breathing, but I am able to run faster than when I was using Qi breathing before...
Now what will happen if I start to use Qi breathing? I stop moving and close my eyes and take a deep breath, and a second later I breathe out and open my eyes. My body gets stiff; my hands, arms, and whole body seem ready to explode with power... and I bend down and grab a stone and throw it with all of my force...
Swoosh!
The stone moves fast to a tree trunk and gets stuck inside the trunk it cut through. The tree trunk before getting stuck in it. How did I know? Because I could easily see that far, it seems Qi breathing has also gotten better overall. Even my eyesight has gotten better to a limit—nowhere near how good my eyesight is when I use Qi eyes, but still, since Qi breathing was supposed to only be a simple technique to make my body a little stronger with the least effect, this is pretty good...
I look at a tree next to me. Before, I could only crack the outer bark. I wonder what would happen if I punched the tree now.
Bang!!
The tree shakes as I punch it hard. There were cracks going out from the outer bark to the inner part of the tree, and the leaves shook and fell down on me, but I quickly dashed to the left, and I just realized how fast I was while using Qi breathing. I only took 3 steps, but I was already away from the tree...
So Qi breathing, to sum it up right now, is like a 2x or maybe even 2.5x on my power and strength. My whole body gets a 2x boost when I am using Qi breathing. This is way more effective than I thought it would be... But again, 'full body foundation' is also pretty much made for Qi breathing. In a sense, my body right now is the best for Qi breathing to work at its fullest power...
Not only that, the most powerful part about this is because of 'Full Body Foundation.' I pretty much can use Qi breathing any time in less than seconds, and no one will be able to know... I am even using Qi... This is all great, but I still need to grow more. This world is filled with too many unknowns...
But I do wonder one thing: what happens if I use Qi breathing and Qi Sight at the same time? Before, I could not do it because of the Qi control problem, but now, since Qi is pretty much everywhere in my body, I could possibly use both of the techniques at the same time...
I sit down on the grass, crossing my legs under me, and I close my eyes and take a deep breath... And a second later I breathed out and opened my eyes, and the world was different; it was beautiful but also felt so slow? I could see a butterfly's wings flapping with ease. I even felt like if I started to run, I could catch that butterfly...
I stood up and moved fast. It was so different. I realized how useful it was to use Qi Sight while I was running at fast speeds. This help with my sight was useful. I could jump over things before I reached them, pretty much dodging most of the things in my way as I kept moving faster! I jump and grab a tree branch and swing off it like Tarzan!
And I jump from tree to tree with ease since everything around me is clear and I can see way before me. I have an easier time running and doing whatever this is... I land on the ground and breathe out and stop using Qi breathing and Qi Sight...
'Hmm, I also seem to have more Qi now, and my Qi is also regenerated faster than before. Before, only using Qi breathing was making me tired, but now using both Qi breathing and Qi Sight has not left me tired..'.
'Breathing through and stepping into the next realm of cultivation was the right step... it's more important than anything, but still I don't know how I am comparable to another Foundation realm person... anyway, the next step should be to make more Qi techniques. I'll use all the knowledge I have from my past life...'
"I will achieve something in this life."
