Following Xu Fei’s guidance, the initial process of perception alone took Bai Zhan a full four hours, and he felt his buttocks were almost numb from sitting.
Just when Bai Zhan could no longer hold on, he suddenly sensed something like a gentle airflow passing by, and he immediately shouted excitedly, “I, I did it!”
Xu Fei nodded with satisfaction, as he could confirm there was no breeze just then, but this was only the first step. “No rush, take it slowly, there’s plenty more to come!”
Since it was the first day, Xu Fei patiently acted as a teacher, guiding Bai Zhan to continue sensing the surrounding true qi of heaven and earth.
They had come up the mountain at noon, and now, after such a long delay, it was getting dark.
Bai Zhan glanced at the sleeping bag in Xu Fei’s hand, but Xu Fei retorted, “What are you looking at? Do you think you’re sleeping in a sleeping bag tonight? Didn’t I just tell you it’s been confiscated?”
After Xu Fei spoke, Bai Zhan looked aggrievedly at the nearby tent, only to hear Xu Fei say, “Still sneaking glances? Don’t you know this tent is for me? You’re meditating here all night!”
Xu Fei’s words were like an unchallengeable military order for Bai Zhan, who, despite feeling helpless and confused, could only grit his teeth and agree.
After Xu Fei entered the tent, Bai Zhan thought that since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he might as well continue practising the little knowledge he had learned during the day.
So, Bai Zhan immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and continued to sense the true qi of heaven and earth around him.
Xu Fei’s clairvoyant vision saw all this clearly, especially the true qi of heaven and earth resonating around Bai Zhan, which made him very pleased. “Hmph, this kid’s not bad, he’s got some aptitude!”
Then, after entering the tent, Xu Fei didn’t sleep either but sat cross-legged on the ground with the same focus.
At his level, unless living with family where not sleeping might seem odd and cause concern, Xu Fei could entirely replace sleep with cultivation every night.
“Man, I taught that kid so much during the day, it’s time for me to catch up tonight!”
Xu Fei had planned to diligently improve his strength over the next month, so he was determined to make every second count.
This time, Xu Fei’s cultivation wasn’t aimless; he had a clear goal.
His inspiration came from the Thunder Dragon Dance Fist technique and his previous battle with Kang Kang.
According to the Thunder Dragon Dance Fist records, mastering this ancient fist technique to its peak would not only allow one to unleash the might of thunder and the grace of a dragon’s dance with each punch.
It could even mobilise a large amount of true qi to envelop oneself, forming a true qi avatar resembling an enraged vajra.
This true qi avatar, compared to a cultivator’s physical body, was stronger and larger, making it even more powerful in close combat.
During his previous fight with Kang Kang, Xu Fei, in a state of rage, had vaguely touched the threshold of this technique.
Now, Xu Fei silently pondered, combining the two elements slightly, and finally found a trace of the right path.
