Everyone stood up from their futons and bowed to Caden to express their gratitude before they walked out while relaxing their muscles.
Nanako was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she asked Aurora excitedly, “Aurora, have you mastered the secret of endoscopic ability?”
Aurora scratched her head and said, “It seems like it, but it doesn’t seem like it either… It feels like the bottom of a particularly deep pond. When I try to dive down, I can’t go any further every time when I feel that I’m almost at the bottom. It’s really annoying…”
After saying that, she asked Nanako, “Nanako, you look so excited. Have you already mastered it?!”
Nanako nodded heavily and exclaimed in a low voice, “I seem to have mastered the secret of endoscopic ability. It’s just like the diving that you mentioned. I always could not dive further down in the beginning, and I felt that the closer I was to the bottom of the pond, the greater the repulsive force of the water. There seems to be forces pushing me toward the water from every direction…”
“Yes, that’s it!” Aurora hurriedly said, “It’s the feeling that I can’t dive further down no matter how hard I try! I feel as if I’m about to lose my mind from the torture. How did you make it?!”
Nanako said extremely seriously, “I tried my best to dive down at first, but I couldn’t succeed even once. After that, I calmed down and assumed that my consciousness had left my body. After my consciousness left my body, it did not go back to the water immediately but went upward toward the highest place instead!”
Aurora exclaimed, “Upward to the highest place?!”
Nanako said firmly without concealing her excitement, “That’s right! It went all the way upward to the highest point! It’s like climbing all the way to a hundred-foot cliff above the lake, then stepping on the edge of the steep cliff with your heels, letting your consciousness open your arms and jump down from the cliff without any distractions!”
As she spoke, Nanako continued with a trembling voice, “I didn’t care at all no matter how fast I fell or how strong the wind was roaring in my ears. I just wanted to complete the leap! That feeling is like a needle falling from the sky and plunging into the water. There is no longer the feeling of all the resistance that I felt before, and everything became clear and enlightened in an instant!”
Aurora was stunned when she heard this. After a moment, she clenched her fists and said excitedly, “I want to try your method too!”
Caden walked up to the two of them and said to Nanako, “I made an observation just now, and it seems that Miss Ito has truly realized your endoscopic ability and mastered the complete circulation of essential qi. Miss Ito, you’re the first person I’ve ever seen getting this done at such fast speed! Congratulations!”
Nanako said respectfully, “Master Howton, it’s all thanks to your great teaching!”
Caden waved his hand and said seriously, “Miss Ito, you’re indeed extremely talented! You not only mastered the method of endoscopic ability within a short period of time, but there are three meridians in your body that are almost completely opened up. It’s just that you didn’t know how to move your essential qi before this, and your meridians were like a highway without vehicles, so it didn’t really play a real role. Now that you can circulate your essential qi, I believe that you will be able to truly breakthrough these three meridians within a few days to become a three-star martial artist. Such fast speed is truly amazing. Miss Ito, you will definitely become a top martial arts expert over time in the future!”
