Amid the clash of the two qi, Zhang Yu sensed the enhancement of the Power of Controlling the Center within them. This was his fundamental Dao method, and as his contact with the external mechanisms rose to higher levels, his Dao method naturally climbed with it.
Previously, improving the Power of Controlling the Center could only be achieved through unceasing exchanges with Origin Void and the Great Chaos, or by using the High One to contend against the Great Chaos itself, seeking out and determining the path forward from within.
