The forms of Qi

I was on the floor, watching the Elf smile. We hadn't even started, and the training was already being hard, although luckily I had been a professional gymnast, few things could break the mind of a gymnast willing to train. I jumped to my feet and dusted myself off.

"Shall we repeat?" I asked for.

"No, I have verified what I needed, if you had not been able to manifest the QI, I would have killed you directly; if even manifesting it you had not been able to do more than a scratch on the rods I would have abandoned you because it would not be worth training you, for Of course I didn't expect you to cut the three sticks on your first attempt, but you've reached the halfway point, which is worth wasting my time with you for now, however, training if knowing the direction only leads to failure, so now comes the "It's time for you to ask about QI, think carefully about your questions, you know what will happen if you waste my time." Was that a compliment?
