The Legend of the Sword of Freedom
Martial Arts Training

In the afternoon as Tang woo said, he would teach the children martial arts. The five children had already gathered in front of the house and were just waiting for instructions from Tang woo.

"Well, as I said, I'll start teaching you from now on. So don't you have to talk anymore now attack me with all the power you've got."

All speechless at Tang woo's words, they didn't understand why to do that.

"Why shut up? quick attack!"

"But seishou if we attack simultaneously with your Qi energy will-"

"I won't be hurt by your weak attacks."

Tang woo was profiling the children with his words that seemed to belittle them. The five started to use Qi energy and attacked Tang woo's stomach simultaneously. The wind wave was created from its fifth strike and it blew away the sand of the ground below. A lot of dust is pouring into the air.

But the attack had absolutely no effect on Tang woo, the children were quite surprised by it because even though they were very weak compared to Tang woo but they did not expect that harming him alone could not even be done.

"Why is this, I'm like hitting a metal" Ru Tsung said as she held her right hand as well as the other children, they felt the impact of the attack they made.

"Why are my hands hurting, what are you doing seishou?" ask Hao ma.

The dense Qi energy wrapped around Tang woo's body. Alvitar felt familiar with the Qi energy he was seeing.

'That was the same as I had seen that night, ' Alvitar thought.

'It was indeed the same but compared to that time I felt his Qi energy become much stronger.'

Different from Alvitar, the other children did not know about it because they had never seen Tang woo train before.

"That's seishou how Qi energy can be this dense." Yeonhee said as she watched Tang woo, she thought how to do that.

"This is the second stage in martial arts, the basic training of Qi Energy and this technique is called Body Arts This technique is a technique that uses Qi energy like the armor used to the body, which is used by the body, and this serves as a protector from outside attacks. Although this was not entirely absolute as it was still impenetrable let alone an attack exceeding the Qi energy itself."

"So how to make the Qi energy become like that seishou armor?" asked Alvitar who was already preparing with the Qi Energy in his body.

"Use more Qi energy and get yourself used to it then consider Qi energy as part of your own body. With that you can do whatever Qi energy can do. So now make an Arts body like I just did. Just focus and do as I said before."

"Good seishou!"

The children answered in unison, and next they began to practice with great focus in order to be able to control Qi energy like using body parts themselves.

Liey Gong started to move his Qi Energy, he slowly made that Qi energy move and gather at one point. The previously messy Qi energy started to be well directed. However the moment Liey Gong wanted to make Energy Qi wrap around his body the order of Energy Qi instantly changed and fell apart again. Liey Gong's face was filled with sweat he did not give up and did the same thing back.

Unlike other children where directly concentrate to make energy balanced and can be used effectively.

Alvitar used his imaginary to control the Qi energy. Alvitar is now more adept at using the ability to concentrate his mind and can easily enter into his own subconscious so that he can realize anything he sees. In his mind Alvitar was like playing back the footage he saw. He recalled exactly how Tang woo used his Arts body.

Different from the way that Liey Gong used it, Alvitar did not apply that concept to controlling Qi energy at one point. He simply let the Energy Qi enter and be absorbed into the body and did not leave it open and chaotic. Gathering Qi energy at one point was a difficult way because gathering all the energy at one point should require a strong understanding of Qi energy itself.

Right after absorbing the previously messy Qi energy, Alvitar then used the concept of deployment where he spread out all the absorbed Qi Energy and made that Qi Energy spread throughout the body. And with that understanding Alvitar managed to create the Body Arts as Tang woo taught.

Tang woo and Fenti were quite surprised by what he saw.

"What is this, he uses mana to coat his body as well. Combining Arts body and coating mana magic, how can a user of martial arts do this."

Tang woo was completely confused by Alvitar's actions.

"That could be. Combining mana magic and energy Qi martial arts simultaneously, he actually had a high match towards martial arts and magic elements. This may not be fair to others but this kid is really talented."

Fenti he was attracted by the natural talent possessed by Alvitar.

"So about talent huh, then the genealogy of his original family might be the remains of the nobles of the western Empire. Did you find anything while saving him Fenti?"

"As you already know I only found the necklace on her neck and her name when the baby other than that I didn't find anything else."

"So yeah, I've never seen a western noble use a necklace like that so from the genealogy of the noble family where this child is."

While thinking about it, Alvitar started to open his eyes and he immediately realized that the previous effort he had made was successful. Alvitar looked at his entire body which was like it was coated in something like a stream of spiritual energy.

"Seishou Arts body you mean like this right?" alvitar asked with a face of enthusiasm.

"Yes, you did very well by combining two different elements to coat your body."

Alvitar did not understand what Tang woo said about the two elements in question.

Fenti suddenly got into the conversation.

"Is there something wrong Seishou?"

"No, I'm just making sure so can you explain how to do that?"

"Alright seishou, as uncle seishou said before. Qi energy is used just like its other limbs, other limbs work on the influence of the brain which stimulates the commands on the limbs to move as desired. So I made myself absorb all the Qi energy that was present, and spread it throughout the body."

Tang woo and Fenti fell silent listening to Alvitar's explanation, they didn't expect a child to seem capable of thinking like this. Because the concept previously described by Tang woo was to assume that Qi energy was one of the limbs, the, so Alvitar gives orders from the brain to make Qi energy absorbed into the body and spread but not only Qi energy is stimulated. The flow of mana in Alvitar's body also feels the command from the brain and directly out and make mana to wrap Alvitar.

He did not know if his action was to combine at once combining two opposing energies to submit to the command of the mind, it would create a layered defense and could be stronger than the Arts body.

The previous Qi energy was still irregular energy released by martial arts users, but only to that extent. The martial arts user only used Qi energy and had not as a whole absorbed it into the body and if the body Arts were used it would make the Qi energy work to its full potential.

"With such thoughts you might be fit to become a martial arts scholar. Being able to instantly understand what I'm saying, you're really talented for this."

Tang woo praised Alvitar's genius, then they saw other children who still could not use the body arts.

"You're the first to finish this, I'll teach you the next method. For now let your brother concentrate I will teach you this technique firsthand."

Soon after, Fenti came to bring a pile of remaining trees to Tang Woo and Alvitar.

"Alvitar punch the tree trunk using the Qi energy you created and use the body arts to coat your hands."

"Good seishou."

Alvitar began to execute the command and punched the logs underneath. But his attack did not make the tree trunk crumble and only dealt a small amount of damage. Alvitar did not give up he continued to do it repeatedly but still did not incise the appropriate results.

"Enough."

Tang woo ordered Alvitar to stop punching it.

"Do you know why this tree trunk didn't break when it hit your fist?"

"Because it's hard and not like wood in general."

"Not your answer is wrong, but it is true that this wood is three times stronger than wood in general because this is the rest of the trees from the magical forest. But that doesn't mean it's indestructible. Look at this technique well."

"Combat arts."

"Flower's fist."

Right after that Tang woo directly punched the rest of the tree with his right hand. And then the tree shattered into small pieces. Tang woo held back as little of his strength as possible so as not to cause any major effects. Because he had already reached the third realm and the fifth Awakening in could destroy that area if it did not hold back its strength.

"A technique moreover is seishou? destroying trees is like knowing."

"This is the basic technique of fighting martial arts users Combat arts, if you previously spread the Arts body throughout the body now make the energy spread it to gather at one point that is the hand you want to use to do the fist."

Alvitar closed his eyes and focused on gathering all that Qi energy to gather at one point. This might be a difficult technique for Liey Gong but Alvitar's understanding was higher than his. and before long Alvitar opened his eyes again and prepared to punch the tree with hands that were layered with Qi energy.

"Combat arts."

"Flower Fist!"

Alvitar mimicked what Tang woo taught managed to destroy the tree easily, although it was not completely destroyed like what Tang woo showed.

"Once again you use mana and Qi energy at once, try to use Qi energy alone, to reduce your body's burden."

"OK seishou I'll try."

Alvitar tried to use only one element but could not at all, which was as if he was clinging to the Qi energy he had.

"Sorry seishou, I can't let go of his mana as if it's bound by my Qi energy."

Alvitar has not been able to control mana because it has never been taught before.

"Huh..forget about it let it continue like that but strengthen your determination combining mana and Qi energy will make your stamina quickly drained so your own limits opponent."

"Good seishou!"

They all ended up running that training for two weeks using their bodies endlessly and crossing the line on themselves.
