14: Zhuyan's Demon Subduing Fist

Teacher Jiang originally thought that Zhang Fan had a certain talent in Static Meditation, which was why he reached the third level.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan, who is only 18 this year, has been practicing Static Meditation for a full 12 years!

12 years!

This means Zhang Fan started practicing Static Meditation at the age of 6, which is really a bit… exaggerated!

Children are different from adults; their minds are active, their nature is lively, and their energy is abundant.

Being too young is not suitable for practicing Static Meditation, as it suppresses one's natural instincts!

Generally speaking,

After passing through the rebellious period of adolescence, students gradually begin to learn about Static Meditation in high school.

But Zhang Fan…

"It seems your foundation is very good!"

Jiang Shengnan regained her indifferent expression: "Let's start directly!"

"Before we officially begin Qi Refining, you need to understand two concepts!"

"One is the method of Food Qi!"

"The second is the method of Qi Refining!"

"Do you know the difference between the two?"

Once Static Meditation reaches the initial stage of body stillness, one can basically begin Qi Refining!

Many newcomers are at this stage!

"Of course, I know!"

Zhang Fan nodded: "The method of Food Qi refers to the method of absorbing Congenital One Qi!"

"Currently, there is only one method of Food Qi—the Five Hearts Facing Heaven method!"

"However, a person's appetite is limited; at most, they can only eat so much in one meal!"

"The same goes for absorbing Congenital One Qi; once the body is saturated, it cannot absorb more!"

"This is where the method of Qi Refining comes in!"

"The method of Qi Refining allows the body to quickly refine and absorb Congenital One Qi!"

"While strengthening the physique, it also allows Titan Warriors to absorb more Congenital One Qi!"

To make a simple analogy:

The method of Food Qi is like how to eat a meal.

The method of Qi Refining is like quickly absorbing the food eaten, thereby increasing one's appetite.

These two methods are essential techniques that any Titan Warrior must master!

The method of Food Qi is currently recognized as having only one—the Five Hearts Facing Heaven method!

There are many methods of Qi Refining; they differ greatly depending on the form after transformation!

"Your foundation is very solid!"

Jiang Shengnan rarely praised him: "Since that's the case, you should know the Five Hearts Facing Heaven method, right?"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Zhang Fan nodded.

"Show me!"

Jiang Shengnan's tone was indifferent: "If there are any problems, I will correct them!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan sat cross-legged, bringing his left foot to the root of his right thigh and his right foot to the root of his left thigh, achieving both soles facing upwards.

Both palms faced upwards, naturally placed on his legs, thus achieving four hearts facing upwards.

The Baihui acupoint on the crown of the head was considered the head's heart, naturally facing upwards, completing the Five Hearts Facing Heaven!

"Your movements are very standard!"

Jiang Shengnan nodded: "Next, clear your mind and enter a state of meditation!"

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, listening to his own breathing; this was the listening breath method!

With each inhale and exhale, his brain gradually emptied, and his mind completely relaxed.

He quickly entered a state of self-forgetfulness, muddled and unaware of himself.

"Sense carefully, and you will find that the surroundings are filled with a large number of white light spots!"

"These white light spots are precisely Congenital One Qi; capture them through breathing!"

Jiang Shengnan's voice, like a mesmerizing melody, quietly echoed in Zhang Fan's mind.

Muddled, Zhang Fan, upon hearing these words, began to sense carefully.

Indeed, he discovered that dense white light spots were suspended around his body.

There were so many white light spots, filling the air, forming a white ocean.

Seeing these white light spots, a strong, instinctive desire arose deep within Zhang Fan.

The desire to consume them!

Thus, driven by instinct, Zhang Fan suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled sharply.

Carried by the air, a large number of white light spots surged into Zhang Fan's mouth, and with a swallow, they successively entered his throat, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.

The moment the white light spots entered his lungs, a sense of satisfaction originating from the depths of his soul spontaneously arose, causing Zhang Fan's body to tremble.

How to describe it?

It was as if his body was extremely, extremely thirsty, as if he hadn't eaten anything for decades!

Suddenly eating something, the feeling of satisfaction, joy, and fullness was indescribable.

His body went wild!

Every cell transformed into a hungry wolf, frantically devouring the white light spots surging into his body!

His cells were quietly undergoing earth-shattering changes, and even his DNA was subtly altering.

On a macroscopic level, his bone density was increasing, his muscle toughness was strengthening…

His life level was evolving!

Zhang Fan was in a daze, his body instinctively inhaling and exhaling the white light spots.

With each inhale and exhale, the white light spots, representing Congenital One Qi, entered his body through his mouth and nose.

This is called Food Qi!

The whole process was similar to breathing air!

From Teacher Jiang's perspective, she could clearly see streams of white light spots entering Zhang Fan's mouth and nose, and then entering his internal organs.

"This efficiency…"

Jiang Shengnan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "Is this really his first time using Food Qi?"

All cultivation begins with Static Meditation!

Ordinary newcomers, due to their inadequate Static Meditation practice, often have their minds wander easily!

Therefore, during the Food Qi process, they frequently get distracted, leading to extremely low Food Qi efficiency!

Low efficiency directly results in a very slow Food Qi speed!

It's like a child eating, distracted and taking half a day to finish a bowl of rice.

Zhang Fan did not have this problem!

His meditation was very thorough, and he was completely focused, so his Food Qi efficiency was very high, completely unlike a newcomer's first attempt at Food Qi!

This left Teacher Jiang very puzzled; even if Zhang Fan came from a prominent family and had been trained as a Titan Warrior since childhood, with a very solid foundation.

But it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

She didn't know that Zhang Fan, as a transmigrator, had aspired to become a Titan Warrior since he was a child.

For this day, he had exercised his body, diligently practiced Static Meditation, and made all necessary preparations!

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife for ten years without unsheathing it; now that it's finally drawn, it will surely cut through iron like mud!

Time quietly flowed by; unconsciously, two hours passed, and Zhang Fan opened his eyes.

Just now, he felt his body was finally "full" and no longer absorbing the white light spots.

Zhang Fan knew that his body was saturated and could no longer absorb more Congenital One Qi!

"2 hours and 18 minutes!"

Jiang Shengnan glanced at her watch, her tone as indifferent as ever: "Good aptitude!"

The "appetite" of a Titan Warrior often indicates the aptitude for Titan Transformation!

The more exceptional the Titan Transformation, the more exaggerated the "appetite" for absorbing Congenital One Qi!

Zhang Fan absorbed Congenital One Qi for over two hours with super high efficiency!

His "appetite" was incredibly astonishing!

This indirectly indicated that his Titan Transformation must be of the highest caliber!

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher!"

Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.

"Food Qi is complete; let's begin Qi Refining!"

Jiang Shengnan said: "There are many methods of Qi Refining, and all of them were created by demigods!"

Zhang Fan nodded; the methods of Qi Refining aim to refine the saturated Congenital One Qi within the body!

To this end, the lofty demigods developed a series of Qi Refining methods!

Different Qi Refining methods are tailored for different Titan Transformations, with vastly different effects!

For example, Dragon-type Titan Transformations have the specialized "Eight Heavenly Dragon Forms," and Bear-type Titan Transformations have the specialized "Black Bear Vajra Fist."

"Senior Zhang Xuanling, based on his Golden Zhu Yan Transformation, developed the "Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist," which is suitable for the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation!"

Jiang Shengnan said: "Your transformation is the Golden Zhu Yan, so the "Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist" is the most suitable Qi Refining method for you; I will teach it to you now!"

"Teacher Jiang, I know the "Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist"!" Zhang Fan said with a smile.
