"Still not right... The direction is correct, but how exactly should I proceed?"
"I need to compress it further..."
"..."
Inside the Great Kūkaku Training Hall, a shirtless figure wearing only a pair of shorts stood in the center of the ring, muttering to himself nonstop.
The ring was still the original one, but the spiritual markings surrounding it were no longer the same.
At first, the area around the ring had been covered in spiritual markings unique to the Shiba Clan. Those markings had been simplified from the Crane Cannon, releasing pressure inward like fireworks being launched and thereby increasing the density of Duan Mu's Spiritual Power.
However, standing in the center of the ring, Duan Mu's movements were completely unaffected. Only the flow of Spiritual Pressure inside his body felt as though it had solidified.
After Duan Mu and Big Sis Kūkaku improved it together, the pressure exerted by the ring was no longer limited to Spiritual Power. It acted on both Spiritual Power and the spiritual body. In short, its effects were somewhat similar to a gravity chamber.
After pondering for a long while, Duan Mu moved on the ring.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The wind from his fists howled as Duan Mu focused and swung both fists nonstop.
The longer the ring remained active, the stronger its pressure became.
According to Big Sis Kūkaku, the spiritual markings on the ring simulated the process of the Crane Cannon accumulating power. However, instead of firing outward, they compressed all the energy down into the ring.
Under this pressure, even with Duan Mu's physique, he felt as though he were at the bottom of the deep sea.
Duan Mu's expression barely changed. As he threw punches, his feet kept crossing back and forth.
Punch, retract, punch...
Step, draw back, step...
