The next day, the three of them walked into the dojo in the Zao family's courtyard one after another. Zhen Ye was still wearing his kimono, Ya Ye was wearing a training suit that resembled a witch's outfit, and Sei Itō was wearing a new set of casual clothes.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhen Ye asked Ya Ye to practice his swordsmanship on the side while he walked over to Sei Itō.
"What do you know about Ki?"
"It's the essence of the human body, the innate Qi, and the warm current flowing in the body that can interact with the world. This is what I know about Ki," Sei Itō said.
"Huh?" Zhen Ye was a little surprised. From this, Zhen Ye could roughly understand why Sei Itō's Ki was so strange. It was because the two of them had different understandings.
"Well, then I'll also talk about what I know about Ki," Zhen Ye said. "The Ki I know about is something that everyone's body is born with. It's scattered in the body, and it can only be drawn by special methods. It can communicate with the Ki in the surrounding world, but it's also different. This is what I know about Ki."
'Scattered in the body … This is very similar to the theory of blood circulation in Chinese martial arts, but there are obvious differences. It's similar to the concept of Nian,' Sei Itō thought to himself.
"You've also noticed the difference in our understanding of Ki, right?" Zhen Ye asked when he saw that Sei Itō was deep in thought.
"Yes, your understanding of Ki is somewhat similar to the understanding of Ki in a system of martial arts I know," Sei Itō nodded.
"Hmm? Tell me about the martial arts system you know, "Zhen Ye asked with interest.
"It's a country's martial arts system. Their theory of the operation of Ki is similar to what you said. However, they don't talk about Ki, but blood and Qi. The force that drives the blood in the body is Ki, which is what they know about Ki," Sei Itō said.
"Drives the blood in the body …" Zhen Ye fell into deep thought. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Soon, Zhen Ye came back to his senses. Now was not the time to discuss this.
"Let's talk about this first. Now, I'll talk about the general way I use this Qi." While speaking, Zhen Ye took a sideways horse stance, put his hands on his waist, and said, "Look carefully. The force comes from the feet. The rotating force generated by the circle created by the rotation drives the Qi in the body to quickly gather. Finally, it gathers on the fist and punches …"
As Zhen Ye spoke, she moved. Visible white gas rose from under her feet and rotated from the bottom to the top of her body, forming a thick Qi in front of her fist. As Zhen Ye punched out, the air exploded and waves of Qi blasted out.
"The most basic way for us to use our Ki is to be round. Only by making our body complete will our Ki be complete, and only then will our attacks be powerful," Zhen Ye said to Sei Itō as he straightened his body.
"As expected." Sei Itō had seen circles everywhere in Zhen Ye's movements, so he had already guessed that Zhen Ye's Ki usage was based on circles. When Zhen Ye confirmed it, Sei Itō's speculation was confirmed.
"It smells like Tai Chi," Sei Itō said.
"Tai Chi!?" Zhen Ye was stunned again. Tai Chi really didn't exist in this world. The fists that were circulating in the market now were purely for fighting. Therefore, it was understandable that Zhen Ye didn't know about such a fist technique.
"Yes, Tai Chi. It's a fist technique whose central idea is to use softness to overcome hardness. The concept of circles is everywhere in that fist technique," Sei Itō said.
At this time, Zhen Ye suddenly realized that the knowledge he was so proud of seemed so weak in front of Sei Itō. He didn't even know what Sei Itō was talking about, so how could he educate him?
"By the way, how do you usually store your Ki?" Sei Itō suddenly asked a fundamental question.
"Of course, it's scattered throughout the body." Zhen Ye answered matter-of-factly and looked at Sei Itō doubtfully. He wouldn't say something else that he didn't know, right?
"…" Sei Itō was speechless and didn't say anything. Should he say that this was indeed the Japanese style? Did they never store their Ki in the dantian? He remembered that in the main world, people could still come across the theory of storing Ki in the dantian. Although it was rare, it wasn't to the point where it was common knowledge to disperse Ki throughout the body.
After that, Sei Itō decisively learned from Zhen Ye. After learning some techniques from him, he walked to the side and pondered on it himself. When Zhen Ye saw Sei Itō walk to the side, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Teaching Sei Itō was really stressful.
In a corner, Sei Itō sat cross-legged on the ground, silently controlling the Ki in his body with his mind. No matter how many times he tried, although the techniques could be applied to his Ki, its essence remained unchanged. Therefore, although the power of his Ki increased slightly, he couldn't achieve the same effect as Zhen Ye just did.
"It seems that this world's Ki is unique to this world. I have to think of another way." Helpless, Sei Itō could only give up on transforming his Ki and focus on another ability in his body that was very similar to this world's Ki — Telekinesis.
The method of controlling Psychic Energy was much simpler. After trying it a few times, he could clearly feel that the power of Psychic Energy had increased. Especially when he switched Psychic Energy to the strengthening type, its power was almost the same as the punch that Zhen Ye had just displayed.
"Not bad. As long as I use Telekinesis as a transfer energy, I can use the techniques of this world. It should be the same even in the main world."
After achieving some results, Sei Itō finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't adapt well to this world, his combat power would be further suppressed in this world. At that time, if he encountered any danger and didn't have a way to deal with it, it was very likely that he would end up in a desperate situation.
After a few more days, Sei Itō continued to study the application of Ki and Telekinesis in this world. It wasn't until Zhen Ye came to Sei Itō and told him that he would go with her to the Imperial System Academy tomorrow that Sei Itō finally ended this boring cultivation.
Fortunately, the results were good. There was no longer a sense of sluggishness in the application of Ki. The application of Ki that was close to his body's Ki could generally be used quickly in battle.
The next morning, Sei Itō, Zhen Ye, and Ya Ye headed to the Imperial System Academy together. However, Zhen Ye once again looked like the first time Sei Itō met her. She looked like a little girl who was only a few years old, sitting leisurely on Sei Itō's shoulder.
The layout of the Imperial System Academy wasn't much different from other Japanese schools. Apart from the male students on campus all being strong and fierce, the female students were all of a normal standard. It wasn't like the dinosaur-like world that Sei Itō imagined.
Zhen Ye first sent Ya Ye to the Soft Sword Department's dojo, then brought Sei Itō to Fan Shi's office. Through Zhen Ye's relationship with Zhen Ye, Sei Itō smoothly obtained the qualifications to enter the Imperial System Academy. After thanking Zhen Ye, Zhen Ye brought Sei Itō to the Soft Sword Department's activity room.
At this time, outside the activity room, a delicate and pretty boy with a strong scholarly aura was staring blankly at Ya Ye, who was practicing his sword.
At this time, Zhen Ye jumped down from Sei Itō's shoulder and walked to the boy's side. She directly kicked him, causing him to kneel on the ground.
The boy first rubbed his legs, then saw Zhen Ye, who looked like a little girl, and hurriedly called out, "Department … Department head."
"Ya Ye, you came really early today," Zhen Ye said as she looked at Ya Ye, who was still practicing his sword.
"Yes, yes." The boy named Ya Ye stood up and looked at Ya Ye. "Is this the new student who joined the Soft Sword Department that the department head talked about?"
"That's right." Zhen Ye nodded. At this time, Sei Itō also came to the two's side. Sei Itō and Ya Ye looked at each other, then nodded to each other as a form of greeting.
"Let me introduce you. This is Sei Itō, also a new student this year. He's also a new member of our Soft Sword Department." Zhen Ye pointed at Sei Itō.
"This is a second-year student of the Imperial System Academy, one of the last remaining students of the Soft Sword Department, Takayuki Ya Ye." He then pointed at the delicate boy beside him.
"Hello, I look forward to your guidance," Sei Itō said politely.
"Hello." Ya Ye nodded. As a senior, he still had to be reserved.
Peng! The sound of swords returning to their scabbards rang out. Ya Ye had already finished his sword practice. When he saw the three people at the door, he quickly ran over. When he was still a distance away from the door, he stopped and bowed. "I'm a first-year student of the Imperial System Academy, Zao Ya Ye. From today onwards, I'll be joining the Soft Sword Department.
