Apollo raised the wooden sword in front of him. With his eyes closed, he began following the process from the Sword Serpent Transformation technique.
To reach the beginner stage, he had to feel the sword and become familiar with it. He had to make it an extension of himself, not just a simple weapon.
However, for the beggar, this was an easy task. With his mastery of the Simple Sword Technique, which allowed him to turn any weapon into a sharp sword, he immediately made the wooden sword a part of him.
Then came the second part: visualization. He had to visualize the mythological Great Serpent within the wooden sword. Apollo needed to engrave this image using Qi.
There were two types of Qi, which he had learned about on the first floor of the library: Unrefined Qi and Refined Qi.
Unrefined Qi referred to the Qi in the outside world. This Qi mingled with the air and was filled with impurities.
