The Geng Metal Sharp Qi Formula was a Metal Element Internal Cultivation Manual. It drew upon the killing austerity of western Geng Metal and its fierce, cutting sharpness, with bone tempering, qi condensation, gathering sharpness, and forging an edge as its core principles.
Practitioners drew qi into their bodies, circulating the art to cleanse and open their meridians, transforming and nurturing it into unstoppable Geng Metal True Qi. Applied according to their cultivation, it could condense qi into an edge capable of cleaving metal and sundering jade.
This internal art followed a fierce, relentless path. Its true qi circulated like sabers and swords, producing fast, precise, ruthless attacks. It excelled at breaching defenses and piercing armor, overcoming strength with sharpness and pressing forward without retreat.
This manual demanded a keen spirit born in the heart, an unstoppable edge. Yet, recalling Yan Yunkun and the others, Zhao Feng felt they clearly fell short, lacking that spirit. Thus, although the art was powerful, Yan Yunkun had never unleashed its full combat potential.
But Zhao Feng also saw that excessive rigidity made this art liable to snap. It needed a method for guarding the heart and securing its gates to achieve balance and keep its edge concealed.
He thought of the Rock-Steadfast Thick Earth Art, which focused on steadfast defense. Fusing and practicing it together with this Metal Element art would be a match made in heaven.
Zhao Feng immersed his entire mind in the art and began trying to circulate it according to its mnemonic instructions and diagrams.
Only in the early hours of the following morning did a white light flash through his mind.
