chapter 11 Mansel Zhu lost his courage

The spiritual energy on Earth was getting thinner and thinner. This is not because the Earth entered the industrial age and the technological age. This current situation is caused by the state of affairs from thousands of years ago, which involved important secrets about cultivators on Earth. For cultivators, spiritual energy is essential for training. A thining spiritual energy translates to an infinitely increasing difficulty for cultivation. Thus, most cultivators now are in the Qi Training Stage. Very few have truly reached the Foundation-Building Stage. Canyn Gilbert is also a cultivator in the Qi Training Stage, but he is already at the ninth level which is the peak of the Qi Training Stage. Just one more step forward and he will enter a very critical step for a cultivator to build their foundation. Some people say that if a person hasn't entered the Foundation-Building Stage, they are not considered a true cultivator. This shows the importance of the Foundation-Building period. But when Canyn is training, he can form a whirlpool of spiritual energy. If other cultivators see it, their eyes will pop out in surprise. In general, most people do not describe spiritual energy as a burst of energy, rather most depict it as a strand or two. As for the whirlpool of spiritual energy, that is unthinkable. But at this moment, Canyn can create a spiritual energy whirlpool as he is practicing. One can only imagine how big the difference is. After practicing for about two hours, he finally stopped. Longer practices do not always give better results. Each body has its absorption limit. If one exceeds their body's limit, not only will it be of no help in improving their cultivation, their foundation could be damaged as well. "Seal" Canyn felt the seal in his body and looked a little dazed. This seal was his master's handiwork, and it had only one purpose, which was to stop Canyn from progressing too fast. Canyn has a body that is very compatible with Toaist training innately. It is a very advanced and useful cultivation physique. People with this physique are born cultivators and are extremely favored by God. They don't even need to deliberately practice to improve, the spiritual energy in the atmosphere around them can be absorbed slowly and unconsciously, nourishing the body. If they practice actively, it will form a whirlpool of spiritual energy and they will make rapid progress. This is also the key reason why Canyn can form a spiritual energy whirlpool when practicing even though the spiritual energy on the Earth is very thin. If it weren't for his master's seal, the spiritual whirlpool formed during his training would be much larger than it is now. The reason why his master sealed Canyn is very simple, that is, so as not to let him progress too fast. Others couldn't go faster even if they wanted to, he was forced to slow down. Truly, comparing yourself to others can be maddening. "Master said that the legendary ninth level of Qi Training is not the true perfection. There are four more levels in this stage: the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. And they are demanding for practitioners to train. I have an innately Taoist-training compatible body and even have a seal to control my speed of cultivation to ensure my foundation is solid. How come I still don’t feel the existence of the tenth level at all?" Canyn muttered to himself, a little confused. "It seems that it's not over yet." He firmly believed in his master's words. His doubts quickly dissipated and he became determined again. Then, Canyn took out his suitcase and rummaged through to find a box. After opening it, he saw several quaint books inside. He took a deep breath and started to look through them. His cultivation speed was limited, and he didn't have to work hard to improve his cultivation unlike others, so Canyn spent more time on other aspects. The medical skills of the Immortal Doctors sect are one of them, but there are others, and Canyn was also learning them. For example, there are some on magic, talismans, and even ghosts and god arts. Canyn read up on a wide range of topics, and there are probably no cultivators today that can be his match. After spending two hours on the books, Canyn ended his practice. These miscellaneous subjects studies were completely under his own control. All he needs to do now is to continuously deepen his understanding and gain proficiency. Only now, Canyn had finished his homework for the day and had fallen asleep. Although he had slept, Mansel Causey couldn't sleep, or more like, he didn't dare to sleep, he wasn't sleepy at all. After returning from the studying community, Mansel summoned almost all his brothers, and hundreds of them all gathered in his base camp. Canyn was very powerful and Mansel felt that he was extremely dangerous. But thinking of how he felt so restricted by others, he became very unhappy. Mansel set his alarm to after twelve o'clock He wanted to test if the pill works. If it doesn’t work, he will kill Canyn. If it works, all the more, Mansel will kill Canyn. However, although the idea is good, reality is cruel. When noon arrived, Mansel Causey, who was fine at first, suddenly convulsed all over his body. It was as if countless ants were biting his body violently. The intense pain made Mansel almost faint. Mansel even gave up keeping his image as the boss around here and rolled on the ground screaming in pain in front of all his younger brothers. His savage look, painful screams, and haphazard rolling, all made the bunch of young men stunned. Especially Forney and Gannicus, who subconsciously swallowed their saliva and drained of colors, looking very pale. Ten minutes later. It took ten whole minutes for the pain to disappear from Mansel's body. By this time, Mansel had no strength left in his body. He was lying on the ground motionless, still trembling and shivering slightly. "Quick, why are you standing still? Serve the boss!" Forney yelled and was the first to rush forward. Mansel was given a bath and then massaged. After a full hour, he returned to normal. But after returning to normal, his mindset has completely changed. It’s not that he was unwilling to cause trouble for Canyn now that the pill was effective. Rather, there was no thought of causing trouble to Canyn at all. Because Mansel realized that if he was to be tortured by that kind of pain all the time, it would be more terrifying than death. Moreover, he recalled Canyn's words, this is only one percent of the real pain. Mansel's scalp went numb when he thought of this. He must never provoke Canyn again. He must never provoke him again. Therefore, Mansel ordered everyone to look at the photo of Canyn taken by Forney and Gannicus, so that his subordinates could remember him clearly. "If anyone dares to provoke this person again and cause trouble for me, I will kill him with my own hands and feed him to the sharks in the sea." He said through gritted teeth. Forney and Gannicus were trembling, ultimately they were the cause of all of this. The two of them are truly worried that if the boss gets angry, he might make them disappear completely from this world. "As for the two of you, come with me to meet him tomorrow and apologize." Mansel must express his attitude. Besides, these pills cause an attack every month. He must get the antidote. He didn't want to experience such pain again. And after a group of younger brothers dispersed, not to mention how shocked they were. Mansel couldn't sleep at all. Thinking of that kind of pain, he shuddered. Canyn got up and ran directly to Tokai University. He didn't run to exercise. As a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Training Stage, ordinary exercise is of little value to him. Canyn was just trying to throw a few punches. It was a way to maintain combat effectiveness. Although it was a holiday, many people were exercising at the playground. This was a bit beyond Canyn's expectations. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health. There was no other way, Canyn could only do the next best thing, not using spiritual power, but relying on physical strength to punch. Although this does not help much in practicing boxing, it can help him familiarize himself with it so the trip is not wasted. "Young man fight well." An old man in sportswear was also boxing at the same time. He noticed Canyn, stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't help but step forward to talk to him. "I was just fooling around, forgive my shortcomings," Canyn said with a shy smile. Canyn has always respected the elderly. Because his master is also an old man. "You're not just messing around, you're a real expert, I can see that," the old man said with a smile. Canyn smiled shyly again. Although he did not use his spiritual power, his innate Taoist-training compatible body had a very strong sense of the movements. In his hands, any martial arts can hardly be considered a secret. Once you grasp it, you will be able to master it easily and at the same time, be considered a master. In addition to cultivation, there are ancient warriors and a group of people on Earth who are called superhumans. These are people with supernatural powers. Boxing skills, even palm skills, footwork, sword skills, knife skills, stick skills, etc., can be mastered by all three groups of people. Ultimately, it's just that the energy supporting these boxing and palm techniques is different. Cultivators use spiritual energy, ancient warriors have internal energy, and superpowers have Yuan energy. "I see you've dabbled in a lot, what do you think of Tai Chi?" Omarr Leigh couldn't help but be very interested when he saw Canyn being so shy. "There are many types of Tai Chi. It is said that Sean Zimmerman created them. But he only promoted Tai Chi and it became well-known. The history of Tai Chi is very, very long. Up to now, there are many different schools of Tai Chi, but unfortunately, basically, none of them can truly carry forward the essence of Tai Chi, which is to use softness to overcome hardness. This concept is well known, many people are aware of it, but very few truly master it. However, in my opinion, this also doesn't constitute the essence of Tai Chi. The essence of Tai Chi is more than just Yin and Yang, it involves the way of Yin and Yang." Canyn said with a smile, and then stopped, there was no need to continue. "That makes sense. I didn't expect that young man, you have such a deep understanding of Tai Chi. It opened my eyes." Omarr said sincerely. "No, forgive me for my shortcomings" Canyn smiled shyly. "However, I see that your Tai Chi does not belong to any school, but it still gives me a familiar feeling. Young man, can you tell me where you learned your Tai Chi?" Omarr asked. This was his real purpose "Familiar old man, give it a try and let me see." Canyn was quite surprised and said with a smile. "Hahaha, good lad, if there is anything wrong, please point it out." Omarr laughed, inhaled, concentrated, and started to move.
