10 Heavenly Sealing Technique

After doing some light workouts, Tang Hao took a shower, before going into his father's study. Knock Knock, "Come in Hao er" a deep voice said

"Father, are you going to teach me our sect's secret arts?" Tang Hao asked

"Yes, but first I need to impart you with a breathing technique. This technique is called the Heavenly Whisper technique, It allows you to gather the energy of the heaven and earth and convert it into qi like in those web novels you read"

"It also allows for faster healing, and when cultivating sleep isn't required once you reach a particular stage" Tang Dong continued

"Wow I thought that cultivating was just something people made up, does that mean I can cultivate to become an immortal and ride a flying sword?" Tang Hao asked excitingly

"Well yes, in theory actually. Since ancient times only one member of our sect was able to live for over 200 years. However, legends state that Peng Zu, one of the pioneers of qigong managed to live for 800 years. Now in modern times he's considered to be a deity and is worshiped by those who wish for longevity" Tang Dong replied

"For centuries, people have stopped cultivating and only practiced martial arts. This was especially so when quirks first emerged in the world. One day a newborn baby in China suddenly had strange powers that shocked the world" he continued

"Well enough about that let's go in the basement of my study" Tang Dong said

"Wait your study has a basement?" Tang Hao said

"Once we go down, I'll impart the basics of the Tang sects arts. Once you've cultivated to a certain stage I'll teach you how to incorporate the secret arts with qi" Tang Dong continued as he ignored Tang Hao's remark

"Ok first, I will teach you how to use 3 types of hidden weapons namely, the silent sleeve dart, bone piercing needles and the golden beard needle" Tang Dong explained

"Let's start with the silent sleeve dart, as the name implies the user hides 2 darts under their sleeve on their arms. Each dart must be thin and sharp and is used by aiming at the opponent's weak spots. Though they may be small, if thrown with great precision it can be deadly and with the use of the qi or your quirk it can easily penetrate through even steel" He continued

"Next, the bone-piercing needle, this kind of needle must have a slender front, a thick back and be very light weight. They are able to reach great distances and have powerful penetration that outperforms the silent sleeve darts" Tang Dong said

"Finally the golden beard needle, these are small hair-like needles that can penetrate deep into the body and lodge inside and curl itself which causes devastating damage to the body over time. It can be made by golden thread like substances and when imbibed with qi it forms the golden beard needle. For now, this one isn't appropriate for you so we'll focus on the other two" He continued

"I'll show you how to use these, watch carefully, Hao er" Tang Dong said

"Yes, father!" Tang Hao replied with excitement

"First the silent sleeve dart" Tang Dong said, Woosh! From within his sleeve, a wooden target that was 30 meters away was hit holes could be seen.

"Next, the bone-piercing needle" he continued, Woosh! Woosh! 5 needles on each hand being thrown could be seen at extreme speed. Bang! The steel wall behind other wooden targets cracked

"Damn this is cool, I can't wait to be able to do that" Tang Hao thought

Tang Dong then collected the darts and needles, showing Tang Hao that they didn't even receive a single scratch, Tang Hao's eyes were sparkling

"Hao er, did you see it carefully?" Tang Dong asked

"Yes father, can I have a go?" Tang Hao replied

"Sure, but it takes many years of practice to be able to throw with such great precision" Tang Dong who was still talking heard a bang and suddenly turned around

"Hehe, looks like I can do it too, though it's still quite sloppy so I'll have to practice for a while" Tang Hao said out loud

Tang Dong who looked at the targets was dumbfounded, he then turned said "Hao er... You. It took me an entire 3 months just to be able to throw it properly. Yet you did it on your first try and with such precision! Thought it's not nearly as good as mine, you have a 6/10 chance of hitting your target!"

"Hmm I must be pretty good then," Tang Hao said as he proceeded to throw more needles

"Just pretty good? You're a once in a century genius and you think you're just pretty good? Do you even want others to live?" Tang Dong shouted in misery

"Oh well, I guess I'll just perfect my aim then go practice the Heavenly Sealing Technique in my room" Tang Hao said

During the evening, Tang Dong called his wife to the study. "Xue er, our son will be able to learn all of the Tang Sect's techniques and it shouldn't take more than 25 years to perfect! Maybe we should consider teaching him your Su family's sword arts once we return from the the ancestral hall back in China"

"Dong, our Hao er is really that talented? Maybe I should consider teaching him, however, he has his dream of becoming a hero we can't bring him back to China for too long, it'll affect his studies and cause him to drift from his classmates" Su Xue replied

"Your right, let's see how long it takes for Hao er to sense qi then we can continue this later. After dinner, I'll teach him how to detect qi" Tang Dong said in a serious manner

After dinner, Tang Hao sat crossed legged on his bed whilst Tang Dong sat on a chair and explained the process and told him to recite "I am the emperor of the universe! The heaven and earth shall bow before me! My name will make the gods and demons to cry! Those who know me dare not to say my name! Rise before my command and do my bidding as I see fit!" in order to activate the technique

"Hao er, you must focus and clear your mind of all thoughts. Once you have done this you'll be able to sense a faint form of energy gathered in your dantian which is located about 3 fingers widths below the navel" Tang Dong said

"Once you sense this energy, imagine it flowing around throughout your body along the 12 meridians and at your dantian imagine the energy rotating endlessly. This process should take a while, most people aren't able to sense qi even after 3 days but I believe with your talent it shouldn't take longer than 2 days" he continued

As he stopped speaking, Tang Dong closed his eyes and sat crossed legged on the floor as he recited the chant, he felt the qi from a radius of 1 km being concentrated into one place. He then tried to sense where it was all going and received a shock

"What?! All the qi from a 1 km radius is being absorbed by Hao er alone?" Tang Dong thought

"The heavens haven't forsaken me, my son is a true genius and will one day stand at the peak! But first let's see how long Hao er will take to reach my level" he continued
