Just then, the door to the training room was pushed open.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young figure walk in.
Ye Chengyun looked at the figure with some confusion.
He was just thinking that the other person had already registered, which was why they hadn't come here, but he didn't expect them to turn around and come over.
So where did he just go?
Ye Chengyun was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it and instead raised his hand to greet the other person.
The goal is to leave a good impression on the other party, making it easier to win them over later.
" Shen Heng, over here!"
The figure glanced in their direction, then closed the door and walked in.
"Why are you so late? If you're any later, the inspectors will arrive, and it will leave a bad impression!" Ye Chengyun reminded the newcomer as if he were a friend.
Fang Yunshu glanced at him upon hearing this, then quickly looked away.
He wasn't interested in people who arrived right on time.
Yu Jingming stared blankly at the scene before him.
He was initially pleasantly surprised to see Shen Heng.
Ye Chengyun's words came first, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
He glanced at Shen Heng for a moment, then at Ye Chengyun, as if he hadn't realized what was happening.
Shen Heng calmly walked to the three of them.
He nodded slightly to Yu Jingming, then turned his gaze to Ye Chengyun, noticing the man's suit and tie, and reminded him:
"Wear less of this kind of clothing when you practice in the future. If the clothes are too tight, it will make it difficult for your body to fully relax and make it harder to enter a meditative state."
"Huh?" Ye Chengyun was a little confused about what Shen Heng meant.
However, Shen Heng had already turned his gaze away.
He glanced at the other two and said:
"I am Shen Heng, and I've come here to teach you cultivation..."
Ye Chengyun's eyes widened involuntarily, and he didn't quite hear what was said next.
Are you here to teach cultivation?
When they registered, the Martial Arts Association staff said that an inspector would teach them how to train, so...
Instructing in spiritual practice = Supervisor =...
On the other side, Fang Yunshu perked up when Shen Heng said he had come to teach them cultivation.
She glanced at Ye Chengyun with some surprise, but after seeing his expression, she seemed to realize something, ignored him, and turned to listen attentively.
"... Cultivation, simply put, is the continuous improvement of one's physical fitness and the total amount of Origin Power that can be stored within the body."
Therefore, spiritual practice can be divided into two steps.
"One step is to continuously absorb Origin Power."
"The other step is to use the Origin Power absorbed into the body to temper the body."
"It's just that the tempering methods differ at different levels."
"What you need to do now is temper your entire body, to temper it to the limits of human potential, and then break through to that level. Once you reach that level, you will have reached the First Tier and become a formal martial artist."
"Once you reach the First Tier, what you need to temper is your own bones..."
While speaking, Shen Heng glanced at Ye Chengyun's condition.
After an initial awkwardness, the other person quickly readjusted and listened attentively.
Seeing this, Shen Heng didn't pay any more attention and continued talking.
"... Therefore, I will teach you two techniques today."
"One is the Five Animal Fist, used to temper the body; the other is the Heavenly Cycle Breathing Technique, which absorbs Origin Power."
"Alright, sit down now."
"Remember this well, these are the mantras for the Heavenly Cycle Breathing Technique."
"Calm your mind and focus your Origin Power."
Breathe out softly through your nose, and inhale slightly through your mouth.
Guiding the source and flow, initiating the cycle of the universe.
"With the Ren and Du meridians open and the Origin Power..."
Half a day later.
Shen Heng finished teaching both techniques and confirmed that the three of them had learned them to a basic level.
"Alright, those who haven't practiced meditation before with the Heavenly Cycle Breathing Technique will initially be able to hold their breath for a relatively short time."
"However, as you increase your cultivation, the time will gradually increase."
"As long as you cultivate diligently every day, you should be able to break through to the First Tier in two or three months if things go smoothly."
"Thank you for your guidance!" the three said, bowing slightly.
"No need, you can go back if there's nothing else." Shen Heng looked at the three of them calmly.
"Yes, thank you for your help!"
Shen Heng glanced at the three who had left, but instead of leaving immediately, he stood in the training room and waited.
A few minutes later, a figure opened the training room door again.
"Mr. Shen Heng!" Yu Jingming walked quickly to Shen Heng.
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at the young man who had once been his swordsmanship instructor.
Yu Jingming's family's martial arts school has a partnership with the Supervision Bureau.
Once a member of the Supervision Bureau completes a training session, they can obtain a Origin Crystal from the Supervision Bureau and attempt to awaken their powers.
Once awakened, you can directly join the Supervision Bureau.
Shen Heng didn't see him at the Linhai Supervision Bureau last year and assumed he had been transferred to the Supervision Bureau in another location.
But now, the other party has come to the Martial Arts Association.
Then, recalling what he said last year about his first failed awakening and how he went to teach himself, this was his second time.
In other words...
"Did you fail to awaken?"
Shen Heng frowned slightly as he looked at Yu Jingming.
He knew that not everyone could awaken their abilities.
However, he originally thought this was just a low-probability event, since everyone around him had successfully awakened their abilities.
But now it seems that he may have been misled by those around him.
All those he had access to before were people who had awakened their abilities and then began cultivating.
However, this does not mean that awakening an ability is easy; rather, only those who have awakened their abilities can access them.
But behind those who have successfully awakened their abilities, there are likely many others who have not.
In other words, awakening one's abilities may not be as simple as one imagines...
Mentioning this, the smile that had appeared on Yu Jingming's face when he saw Shen Heng noticeably dimmed, but he still forced a smile on his face.
"Well, maybe I just don't have the talent for that. But it's okay, even without awakening my abilities, I can still cultivate."
Shen Heng looked at the young man in front of him. Although the man was forcing a smile, Shen Heng could hear the barely suppressed disappointment in his words.
It is true that one can cultivate even without the ability!
Or rather, cultivation and ability are not inherently linked.
The reason no one else cultivated before was simply because those without awakened abilities found it difficult to sense Origin Power and thus couldn't cultivate it!
But now, ordinary people can also sense the Origin Power and cultivate it.
Therefore, even if the awakening of one's abilities fails, one can still continue to cultivate.
Just like those people who are registering now, they are currently only cultivating and haven't awakened their abilities yet!
However, if one lacks the ability...
Shen Heng let out a soft breath and looked at the young man in front of him, saying:
Have you ever thought about becoming one of the top performers?
