Chen Jue focused intently on practicing the Esoteric Buddhist Mahamudra and did not notice the changes to the panel.

At that moment, Chen Jue was using [Inner Vision] to observe his own internal organs directly. He discovered that, combined with his practice of the Esoteric Buddhist Mahamudra and his chanting of Scriptures and Sanskrit Mantras, the vibrating, penetrating effects of the sound waves caused the qi and blood around his heart to enter a special kind of resonance.

That resonance carried a hint of stillness, making Chen Jue's heartbeat increasingly steady, his physical heart bringing calm to his emotions.

Having practiced so many martial arts and studied the strengths of various schools in the group chat, Chen Jue knew that this effect of practicing the Esoteric Buddhist Mahamudra reflected the true meaning of the latter half of a verse mentioned in Heart-Intent Fist: "Subdue the true dragon, and the elixir can become whole; tame the fierce tiger, and life will remain secure forever."

Heart-Intent Fist had two sets of stance exercises, Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Subduing. The essence of Dragon-Subduing was to subdue the great dragon that was the spine, training it to bend and turn at will. Once the training reached the spinal marrow, one had already taken half a step into Embracing the Elixir.

Tiger-Subduing, meanwhile, meant taming the fierce tiger that was the "heart"!

The phrase "a fierce tiger in the heart" was not invented out of thin air. The heart was the human body's most important circulatory organ. During bursts of physical activity, it pounded like a fierce tiger released from its cage, its powerful beating supplying blood throughout the body and delivering energy and nutrients.

In ancient times, people also regarded the "heart" as the birthplace of the spirit, thought, and wisdom.
