Eye of the Storm

Chen An’nian’s arrogance didn’t last long.

“Originally, I wanted to wait until you had a better understanding before practicing, but it seems unnecessary now,” Li Shaodian said, squinting his eyes and smiling as he held the collection of poems in his hand.

“Starting today, you will run three laps around the mountain carrying this stone.”

Chen An’nian’s face instantly fell.

“Master, isn’t this a bit sudden?”

“Sudden?”

Li Shaodian countered, “After reaching the Three Opening Apertures, many people believe that opening more apertures is the only way forward. But have they ever considered if their physical bodies can withstand it?”

“An’nian, you must remember that the physical body is crucial, it is the foundation.”

“The opening apertures method can help you progress, but it is the physical body that determines how far you can go.”

Li Shaodian’s words carried great weight.
