“Your name is Muyang, right? I can see that you’ve put a lot of work into your physical foundation. Not many of those martial arts practitioners in the Earth are able to train their foundations as solid as you.”
Korin dodged as he spoke in a flat tone. With many years of experience, he was able to see through Muyang’s foundation with a single glance. A hint of amazement arose in his heart. However, he also saw what was lacking in him.
Then Korin shook his head, “The foundation is perfectly polished, but you’re not yet able to use the ki in your body properly.”
“Because you don’t know how to restrain yourself, the ki in your body is like a firefly in the night, revealing your actions and intentions from a long distance. Well… it’s probably due to the overall deterioration of the Earth martial art practitioners. It’s not your fault.”
Korin strolled around, making a sharp comment on the situation.
Muyang stopped and looked at Korin seriously; he was impressed by Korin’s comment. Just like what Korin said, even schools that knew how to practice Ki Based Technique were scarce in the Earth, so how could they perfectly manage to converse the ki?
However, this problem was not unsolvable. This charming Korin in front of him was undoubtedly a mentor in this matter. So, Muyang was going to be subtle and said, “Immortal Korin, please teach me the technique of converting the ki.”
“Hahaha, this is no need to rush. When you know how to use the ki in your body, the convergence is a natural progression.” Korin yawned, wandered around Muyang, and nodded, “To be honest, your Heavenly Sky School Ki Based Technique is unique. After all, it is a secret technique inherited from ancient times, and it is somewhat different from the current one. You just haven’t practiced it to the fullest.”
“You must be a little tired from climbing Korin Tower all the way up from the bottom. Take a good rest and figure it out on yourself… starting tomorrow, I’ll officially teach you how to practice the technique.”
After that, Korin waved his hand, then shook his crutch and headed downstairs.
Muyang stayed and watched as Korin walked down the stairs. It was clear that through a simple test, Korin had already felt his pulse, and staring from tomorrow, the normal training would begin.
This excited him a little, but after the excitement, a wave of exhaustion swept over him. So, he simply lay down on the floor and exhaled, snoring softly soon after.
Honestly, he was exhausted.
……….
The next day, the sky was clear.
Korin took out a bag of dry flour from his inventory and let Muyang eat a little bit of it, indiscriminately with the spring water before officially began his training later.
Upon chewing the sticky and tasteless flour dough in his mouth, Muyang’s whole face became bitter.
Although this flour could fill his stomach, it was tough to swallow. He never knew Master Roshi spent three years under this difficult condition.
From that point of view, he had to be admired!
Barely filling his stomach, Muyang walked up to Korin full of energy.
Korin looked at him, “Oh, you’ve already eaten. Let’s start practicing now.”
“Please teach me!” Muyang said seriously.
“Haha, not a problem.” Korin narrowed his eyes as if he was smiling.
“I studied your history last night, so I’m going to divide your training into three steps.”
Korin said that, while raising his three fingers, “The first one is to address the mistakes in your move. Without guidance from a brilliant teacher, you have so many unnecessary moves and too many flaws within your movement.”
“Luckily, it’s not deeply rooted yet. So, it will be easy to fix it for now. Otherwise, it will difficult to change.”
Korin whispered.
Muyang listened attentively, expressing his agreement. Having read the original story, he knew that the extra movements would definitely be a subject that Korin would focus on correcting.
That’s why Muyang was prepared from the beginning regarding this subject. In fact, martial arts training was definitely a process from complex to simple to reduce the unnecessary excess consumption in the battle.
This point was always clear to Muyang; it was just that he had never met a good teacher who could effectively instruct him before.
Although Isaac was a good and renowned martial arts practitioner, his guidance was still not as good as that of the real “senior brother” Korin.
It was fair to say that there weren’t many people on the entire planet whose knowledge was above Korin.
“Second, Ki Based Technique training. The Heavenly Sky School Ki Based Technique is very good and quite clever, but its essence hasn’t been brought out to you yet. So, the next step is to make up for the shortcomings in this part. When the Ki Based Technique is perfected, then your strength will also increase greatly.”
“Third, the convergence of ki. This is a rather general concept; what exactly counts as the convergence of ki is different for everyone. Different people have different sensitivities to ki. Perhaps you think you have converged your ki, but it is still exposed to some people’s eyes, so I will not enforce this subject.”
“No, please train me with the strictest requirements, Immortal Korin.” Muyang earnestly pleaded. If he couldn’t even meet Korin’s highest requirements, how could he stand on top of the strongest in the future?
The fact that his power level never broke the one hundred mark in battle must be due to something was lacking in his training.
This lack wouldn’t be in movement, but rather in some sort of particular requirement. His development of the physical aspect had reached its limit for the time being.
So, would the training or the control of the ki bring him into a completely different level?
The Heavenly Sky School training technique was different from the Turtle School since the beginning. Muyang couldn’t just apply it rigidly because he understood the original story, he wanted to improve from Korin.
Korin’s eyes flashed with appreciation, stroking his beard and nodding, “Good, then. I’ll train you with the strictest requirements as you wish, but let’s face it, my training is quite difficult.”
“I’m ready for it, so please don’t worry about it, Immortal Korin.”
“Very well.”
Korin nodded and looked at the tough-looking young man before him. He pulled out a bell from somewhere and attached it to his body.
After doing that, Korin picked up the kettle on top of the stone table with his crutches like he did yesterday. Then, he said, “The next thing you’re going to do is snatch the kettle that I hang on top of my crutch. You can use any tactic you want, for example, try to snatch it, whether when I’m asleep or distracted. Just grab the kettle from my crutch, and you’ll be considered passed.”
“Because it is the first stage, I will have a bell tied to my body, and I will not take this bell off. After you can snatch this kettle from my crutch, you can proceed to the second stage of your training, which is to snatch the bell and the kettle again. After that, you can proceed to the third stage.”
“As for how the third stage of training will be done, wait until the second stage is completed. Maybe the first two stages alone will take a long time.”
Muyang was slightly stunned; this was different from when Korin trained Son Goku. In the original story, when Son Goku snatched the kettle, Korin didn’t have a bell tied to his body.
Perhaps because he hadn’t reached Son Goku’s level, that was why Korin lowered his training difficulty.
The first stage was never shown in the original story. The second stage was the original Son Goku’s training technique.
“Immortal Korin, let’s get started!”
After understanding Korin’s plan, Muyang nodded towards Korin, then prepared to grab the kettle.
