Teaching the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method

"Master, I've done it!"

Feeling that he could control every ounce of his body's strength, even the usually composed Hong could not help but shout in pleasant surprise.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!" Teng Qingshan walked over and patted Hong on the shoulder happily. "To have grasped the Tiger Form Fist so quickly, your comprehension is truly impressive."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly." At this moment, Hong was incredibly joyful and excited. He had never expected to reach the realm of an Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster, something he had longed for, so soon.

"Becoming a grandmaster is only the beginning; there are many more challenges ahead." Teng Qingshan smiled. "Test your current punch strength. Don't use any force-generating techniques; just test your raw physical power."

"Understood, Master." Hearing this, Hong walked straight toward the Punch Strength Tester to the side.

Exhale, inhale.

Visible to the naked eye, Hong's body rapidly expanded as knotted muscles appeared, stretching his originally loose black training suit.

With his power gathered, Hong threw a punch with his right fist.

BOOM!!!

The target of the Punch Strength Tester swayed violently from the impact.

Beep~

A number appeared on the screen: 920KG.

"Not bad, you've already reached the 900-kilogram threshold for punch strength." Teng Qingshan smiled. "Having reached this step, I can now teach you the next stage of cultivation."

"Thank you, Master!"

Hearing that he would soon be exposed to more profound cultivation methods, and thinking of how Master Teng Qingshan could easily shatter a boulder as tall as himself with a single punch, Hong had long craved such power.

Returning to the villa's living room.

Teng Qingshan first taught Hong the simplest Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method.

As for this simple meditative posture, Hong mastered it completely after watching it once, and he quickly learned the required breathing rhythm as well.

Seeing that Hong had grasped it, Teng Qingshan continued, "Now you can attempt to sense the Cosmic Energy and draw it into your body to refine it into Genetic Origin Energy. Once you achieve this, I have another surprise for you."

"A surprise?" Hong was already surprised enough to be learning the method of refining Cosmic Energy; he hadn't expected an even greater surprise to follow.

"Understood, Master!" Hearing this, Hong went straight to the meditation chamber and began to adjust his state of mind according to the methods Teng Qingshan had taught him.

Once his mind entered a state of absolute stillness.

Hong assumed the posture of the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method, then released all his focus, attempting to sense the energy drifting through the universe.

An hour passed in this state of sensing.

Just as Hong was about to drift into a drowsy state.

Suddenly.

Wisps of cool energy surged in through the palms of his hands, the soles of his feet, and the Baihui Acupoint at the top of his head.

Noticing the anomaly.

Hong startled awake from his meditative state, his eyes filled with irrepressible joy. "That cool energy must be the Cosmic Energy. Continue!"

Immediately, Hong quickly adjusted his state of mind and returned to meditation in no time.

With the success of his previous attempt.

This time, Hong simply focused all his attention and quickly sensed the energy present in the room, then began to project his "guiding" intent according to the method Teng Qingshan had taught him.

Consequently, the Cosmic Energy drifting everywhere surged toward Hong frantically.

Next.

Hong guided the Genetic Origin Energy, converted through his cellular mitochondria, and began to consciously strengthen every part of his body.

This was the advantage of an Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Being able to control every muscle in their body, they would not waste a single shred of energy when strengthening their physique.

Sensing fluctuations in the Cosmic Energy near the place where Hong was in seclusion.

Teng Qingshan knew that Hong had successfully sensed and begun to absorb and refine the Cosmic Energy.

"I wonder how much punch strength my disciple will gain from his first time cultivating Genetic Origin Energy. Two thousand? Or three thousand?"

Teng Qingshan glanced toward the meditation chamber, then walked out of the villa's living room to practice his fist techniques in the backyard, waiting quietly for Hong to emerge from seclusion.

At Teng Qingshan's current level, cultivation required more of a slow, grinding process.

Slowly improving his physical fitness, gradually gaining insights into deeper levels of Fire Attribute Energy and Earth Attribute Energy, and advancing further in his domain.

These things were extremely time-consuming.

Moreover, once he reached the limit of an Apprentice, Teng Qingshan would face the challenge of how to break through to the Planetary Level.

Regarding this.

The images transmitted from the Little Cauldron did not contain a complete method for the breakthrough.

Teng Qingshan did not dare to easily attempt those scattered breakthrough techniques.

Only after finding a truly feasible and mature breakthrough method would Teng Qingshan consider advancing to a Planetary Level Martial Artist and Spiritual Telekinetic.

However, it was still a long way off before his physical strength and Spiritual Telekinesis reached their limits, so there was no need to rush.

On the lawn.

Teng Qingshan slowly practiced the Earth Element Fist Technique, the Earth Attribute Energy covering his fists becoming increasingly thick and distinct.

If one looked closely, they could even see that as this Earth Attribute Energy flowed, it faintly formed the shape of a gauntlet.

As Teng Qingshan swung his fists, this gauntlet continued to solidify, and it seemed it would not be long before it took complete form.

Time passes especially quickly when one is immersed in cultivation.

When the sun was about to set.

Hong finally walked out of the secret chamber where he had been in seclusion.

Seeing Teng Qingshan practicing his punches under the setting sun, with mysterious yellow energy currents wrapped around his fists, Hong could not suppress the admiration in his eyes.

Sensing that Hong had come out, Teng Qingshan stopped his practice. After nearly a full day of training, his understanding of the Earth Attribute Energy between heaven and earth had deepened, and the resonance between his telekinesis and energy had grown more profound.

This visible progress left Teng Qingshan deeply intoxicated.

If there were nothing else to do, Teng Qingshan could have continued practicing his fist techniques for days and nights on end without feeling tired.

But living in an era of change, how could he remain immersed in cultivation and ignore everything else?

Seeing Teng Qingshan stop, Hong immediately walked over.

"How does it feel to practice Genetic Origin Energy for the first time?" Teng Qingshan asked with a smile, looking at Hong, who was beaming with joy.

"It feels amazing! Thank you, Master, for teaching me such a miraculous method of origin energy cultivation." Hong said, suppressing his excitement. "After this session of cultivation, my physical strength has at least doubled!"

"It's good that it's effective. Go and test it now; once you're done, I will teach you other cultivation methods." Teng Qingshan was not surprised by Hong's progress.

Arriving before the Punch Strength Tester, Hong took a deep breath and then swung his right fist violently.

BOOM!!!

A dull sound, several times deeper than the one from the morning, rang out.

The punch target shook violently, as if it were about to break loose.

At this moment, a string of numbers appeared on the screen: 4251KG!

"Four thousand kilograms of punch strength, very good!"

Teng Qingshan said happily. Although it didn't compare to his own first time practicing Genetic Origin Energy, which had increased his strength by five thousand kilograms, it was still quite impressive.

After all, being able to increase one's strength by over three thousand kilograms on the first attempt was enough to qualify one as a genius.

Seeing that he had unleashed such immense power with a single punch, Hong, who was only eighteen, first showed an expression of disbelief, then jumped up on the spot in excitement, "Roar, roar, roar~"
