I might be the smartest man alive in this era, huh? While smiling, I keep reading the almost countless books...
In the study hall, I cross my legs and take a deep breath, trying to get a feel for this Qi, and to be honest, it was kind of easy. Well, because I never had anything like this inside my body in my past life, it's almost like having another organ in my body. Okay, the first step of Qi gathering is done; now the second step of Qi gathering is controlling the Qi inside me, and once I manage to do that...
I will be at the Qi gathering step or realm. Whatever, I will be there in cultivation...
And a while later it was almost nighttime, and I breathed out panting, and I noticed how my body was all sweaty, but, well, I had a wild smile on my face because I did it...
It was like molding a jelly, if that makes sense; if I pulled too hard, it broke, and if I pulled too little, it did not move at all. Control was important. Thankful for a guy like me, whose whole past life had been controlling himself in every way. Yeah, this control, I got the hang of it fast...
But still, it took me a day to do this anyway; now I can easily move the Qi inside my body, and, well, it does feel a little weird. It's like doing stretching with my body, and I have a feeling if I keep controlling this Qi of mine, I might get physically exhausted. It's somehow linked to my body, huh?
Ok, so now what? Qi I can sure control it, but now what? There are more than 30 books about how people just do cool shit with Qi, but none of them are written about how people do it well, other than this one called "Night Eyes," and in the book, it is written pretty much that if you gather Qi inside your eyes, then you should be able to see better in the night...
What kind of crappy stuff is this? No, explaining how it truly works; just gather Qi in your eyes, nothing else. Huh, well, at least I should try it...
I close my eyes, and forms inside my body start to pull the Qi to my eyes. I gather Qi in my eyes slowly, and then more, and then more, and then I open my eyes and look around. Sure, I was able to see a little better now, even at night... but I could not help but frown because, well, doing this wasted way too much Qi...
Not only that, but my eyes burned a little this 'Night Eyes', no wonder it's the only book about how you can use Qi here because it's shit! But again, this is not a total waste; now I understand how Qi works. At least it's like an organ that can help other organs or body parts. By enhancing them...
If I am assuming right, then, well...
I close my eyes once again and gather Qi in my eyes, but this time I only gather Qi in a very controlled way. I only input Qi gently deep inside the little nerves in my eyes... and then I open my eyes.
Wow... so it looks like my assumption was right... my eyes are so much better; I could see farther, and not only that, I could also feel that my perception is enhanced to a level even faster, and also this also did not take as much Qi as the 'night eyes,' huh? Wait, did I just make a new martial art?
Hahah ahaha I laugh a little. This was fun for sure, Qi. This new world was fun. Are you making your own martial arts? Huh? What should I call this one? Sharingan? Nah, something simple since I can look in the night; it should be something evil for sure... Anyway, I think about a name later; for now, I should test this Qi more...
Just one more test, and then I leave to head to my new house. Ah, ok, the first thing I wanted to apply this Qi to was breathing techniques, something like in Demon Slayer. If I could replicate something like that, not only would my whole body get a boost if I could do this...
And well, this time it was even easier because, well, I have always been breathing even in my past life, and this one too, so controlling Qi in my lungs was much easier than my eyes, and after a few seconds...
I let out a breath; it had a hint of blue in it, and, well, a few seconds of breathing with Qi... I felt the effects in my arms and my eyes; my whole body felt a little stronger. It was weird. It was like my one Qi breath was comparable to me normally breathing 10 to 12 times...
I stand up and move my body around a little, and yeah, I am much faster now too. I jump gently and end up doing what would be a high jump... and land on the ground for a second. My control of the Qi breathing stops, and then I start to breathe normally...
That was insane also; I felt my lungs burning up. It was now a little harder to breathe, but other than that, it was fine. Yeah, I made a new martial art. Well, at least I have a name for this one: 'Qi breathing.' Simple and clean, but this technique is not ready yet, far from it. More than once while breathing, my Qi went inside the other windpipes in my lungs, breaking the flow, but still, I was that strong... Other than that, if I might master Qi breathing, I might be able to breathe like this every day. It gives me a forever boost..'.
Yeah, this world is fun. Not only that, I think the dreams I had about becoming strong back in my past life, yeah...
I will become the strongest...
