Chapter 626: The Beauty in Violence

To be seated between Ai Xiaoyu and De Fulei felt not bad indeed… There was a faint smell of sweetness wafting.

“Could it be that this guy saved the Milky Way in his past life? Could the legends be true!”

“How did Snow Li fall for such a guy!”

“F*ck, to think that they were in each other’s embrace. The thought just infuriates me!”

Zhang Shan silently thought that they might not be able to take it if there knew that Oli was Olivios’ fiancé. This Wang Zheng was indeed very bold.

Wang Zheng honestly could not care less. The Professor was here already

Was he considered Elite Academy X’s longest standing Professor?

With a beard like Confucius, he also possessed snow white eyebrows.. It should not be dyed right?

This old man was full of energy. His face flushed red and looked like he was in great physical health.

He looked around at the crowd of students, there were quite a number of new faces. “Let me bring you through the physical education class today.”

He wrote a big “Qi” word on the board. This was an ancient word with origins from Earth. Apart from those from Earth and the Solar System, many did not know this word. Meaning, only Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan could recognize it.

Even though Zhang Shan studied physics, he was passionate about calligraphy. He himself had also enjoyed practicing it in his free time.

The rest looked blank, oblivious to this word.

“This was the first step which mankind had grasped to realize the power of mysterious energy. ” Li Poshan said while point at the word.

“Humans are unique creatures, who can control two kinds of power – the body and the soul.” Li Poshan pointed at his head, obviously not talking about the brain.

“Atlanteans originated from Earth, but they chose another path, which was to concentrate on the development of the soul. However, they finally realised it was a dead end, and fortunately backtracked on their path. The nourishment of both the soul and body is required for one to develop to the pinnacle. The transcendence of the spirit is illusory. Only the transcendence of the body is truly real.”

Li Poshan made everyone feel muddle headed the moment he started speaking….. What had physical education have to do with all these semantics?

Nonetheless, Wang Zheng knew too well what he was trying to express. In other words, he finally found a true Professor.

Atlanteans were supreme in their development of their spirit and soul, but why were they still unable to communicate with the universe?

Their bodies could not handle this evolutionary step. This unique ability had long disappeared from their genes, similar to the lost natural instincts of an animal. Their power had been rechanneled through scrolls instead.

Humans were different. Although spiritually lacking compared to Atlanteans, they were able to communicate with nature. That was also because of their genetic abilities to utilize Ability X.

How strongly one could communicate with the universe was related to one’s physical strength. With spiritual enhancement came physical enhancement, due to a heightened sense of motivation. One’s ability to tolerate and become at peace would also increase to attain a natural inner balance.

To be able to attain inner balance meant progressing down a path to becoming a true god!

Now, Wang Zheng was lacking the determining factor — he did not have the training methodology to do so.

Standing on the stage, Li Poshan was explaining the existence of Qi. “The more you believe in its existence, the more apparent it becomes. The human body’s first step of progress towards the peak is to practice Qi, and that is exactly what I am going to teach.”

“Professor, are you being serious? We have to be accurate and fierce in battles. Whatever you call Qi, what has it got to do with our Ability X? We just want to strengthen our Ability X!”

Someone said, apparently baffled by Li Poshan’s logic, especially after hearing that it originated from Earth. What era were they in… to fish out ancient teachings from Earth. What a worthless place this was.

Li Poshan smiled faintly, “why don’t I just demonstrate.”

Casco stood up and moved forward. This 2.36 meter muscle packed man would have been even more unimaginable with Ability X. What he craved was real power, Qi was just for child’s play.

Li Poshan retrieved Casco’s statistics on his professor skylink. Casco said “Sir, is it alright if I speak freely right, you won’t kick me out of your class just because I challenged you right…?”

Although he was extremely well developed, he was not stupid and could tell that the professor was threatening him.

Li Poshan laughed, “What? Of course not. To question is the most basic skill any student should possess. Now, I have a volunteer to demonstrate the existence of Qi with.”

Casco was stunned, “What? You want to fight me? Nah then I’m not doing it. I can’t afford your medical bills if your old limbs break.”

Li Poshan exploded in laughter. “Of course not, how can you fight an old man like myself, just stand still and try to fend off my attack.”

“Haha, okay you can take your frustration out on me, just don’t faint from exhaustion.”

Casco lifted his hands. Shaking his head lightly, Li Poshan went forward and pushed his palm outwards, his silver hair shining.

Bang…

Casco shot outwards like a round being fired out of a cannon, creating a gigantic hole in the wall:

Everyone was left speechless. A small portion of the audience was not too alarmed. How else could he have become a professor? For him to strike without having practiced in a long while, he was ruthless. The only thing was that his logic behind Qi was difficult to understand.

With dust clouding his face, Casco quickly made it back to the classroom, bowed at Li Poshan politely and returned to his seat.

Without Ability X, he could send Casco flying at this old age… what the heck was he actually teaching?

Could one immediately become stronger after learning to control this strange power..

Wang Zheng could immediately sense the energy waves coming from Li Poshan. It was indeed Qi. Even though it was not considered a high level of mastery, it was immaculately applied.

“This is the power of Qi, it will not lose to Ability X if you can fully grasp it. Moreover, there will not be a clash of these two abilities. Instead they complement and strengthen each other.”

He was able to convey this much more convincingly after the demonstration.

Wang Zheng lips curled up into a faint smile. Listening to Li Poshan’s explanation on this difficult topic, the concept sounded foggy to others. Wang Zheng was fooled by his father when he was young, Li Poshan was much more knowledgeable in comparison.

The others were frantically taking down notes, they could not immediately figure out all the questions in their head after the demonstration.

Just like those who had been raised to understand western medicine, there was no way they could fully understand traditional chinese medicine just like that.

Li Poshan was very patient. His textbook was enlightening, it depended on fate whether one could understand what he was talking about. Like Ability X, these were not easy concepts to comprehend.

“Look at your body, I will now show you the eight acupoints. These will be the source of your Qi,” Li Poshan said while pointing to the graphics.

These eight points were largely similar to what Wang Zheng’s Dad had pointed out in the breathing methods which he had passed down. This adjusted breathing methods would be used to channel Qi.

The longer you sustained the breathing technique, the better the results would be, it was the basic foundations of Qi mastery.

Maybe… he really did save the Milky Way in his past life.

Everyone else in the classroom was frowning, fully wrecking their brains. Zhang Shan looked nonchalant. He was an Earthling and was not new to these concepts. Many humans still preserved these ancient teachings and techniques.

To hear about ancient earth civilization in Roland Garros really made Zhang Shan a little proud. This was glory felt for his mother star.

Li Poshan was pleased with the students response. This was teaching attitude, he was not afraid of being questioned, but wanted his students to have the heart to learn. To have seven or eight in a hundred to be able to grasp his teaching would have satisfied him. Breathing techniques could help sufficiently in foundation building and speed up the learning of higher level techniques, and even propel gifted individuals onto another level.

But…

In this strict classroom environment, there was a lad whose mind was elsewhere, smiling to himself.

Li Poshan elaborated more on the breathing technique. It might be difficult at the start, but could be mastered with persistence. To practice breathing everyday would drive away fatigue and enhance mental capabilities.

Wang Zheng no doubt believed in this. His acceptance was strong and the breathing technique he learned had been a direct reason for this. How else would he have understood the Old Merchant’s strange teachings. All of this was because of fate.

The others got more muddle headed as the class progressed, although their desire to grasp these concepts were very strong.

However, Wang Hao noticed Oli did not seem to be entangled. She was a habitual hard worker, and did not see this as an obstacle in learning.

Thinking about Oli’s strike, this was not just a usual fighting routine, it was not possible without underlying strength.

Although Wang Zheng was young, he could be considered a master in Qi applications. In terms of concepts and understanding however, he was a rookie. Bonehead was not the best teacher and would also hit him if he did not understand.

This was learning based upon violence!
