Against The Other Gods

He came up with this theory of his own after reading so many books with many topics regarding training, cultivating and etc.

Xiao Che tried to create a state of mental where he can consciously manipulating his brain to take the information of all the things that five of his senses obtained. So he try to differentiate a few mental state that he can come up.

First, is State of Focus, this state is where he manipulating his brain to fully focus all of his senses to only one thing and didn"t get distracted easily from the other things.

Second state that he come up is a State of Awareness. In this state he wanted to manipulate his brain to work to the utmost and make all his sense to obtain information regarding his surrounding without focusing to one thing as many as he can.

And the Third state he come up to is a State of Zone. This state is a combination of State of Focus and State of Awareness. In this state, it"s more like splitting his consciousness to fully focused of one thing while keep the track of everything.

He named this state because of there is a saying "in the Zone" in his old world. If he can master this state, he can fight while focusing to his enemy to predict his movement or find a flaw in his skills. Or he can focused his mind to himself so he can control his body better to bring out his 150% of his strength. Or he can keep focusing to multiple enemies as he can still make the best decision to do in the battle making his effeciency better.

So the first state he wanted to try is state of focus as this state can help his training to give better result. It is really hard for him to fully focused to one thing while he need to cut off all the unnecessary things that can make him distracted.

It"s already a few months after he come up with his theory. It"s not like it is something easy to do. He need to practice this state as much as he can until he can control it willingly. When he train his body, he always tried to only focus to himself without getting distracted by anything.

The State of Focus that he wanted to reach is where his mind isn"t getting distracted even by his own thought. For example when he doing exercise of swinging his heavy sword 100 times, he need to focus to count his swing till 100, and not get distracted after the swing of 50 where suddenly a thought pop out of nowhere saying that his hand getting tired, or a thought about the sword getting heavier after each swing or any random thought that pop out.

When such random thought still pop out, it means that he still can"t reach a State of Focus, much less master it till he can control it willingly.

Xiao Che also tried to train the State of Awareness after he done with his training where he just sitting down not doing anything as he tried to observe his surrounding and sharpen his sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.

The more sharp his senses are, the better his State of Awareness he can applied when observing his surroundings.

The third state or the State of Zone is also Xiao Che tried when he sparring with his grandpa, Xiao Lie. At times, he will focus to himself while sparring, sometimes he focused to his grandpa to observe his movement and predict his attack and sometimes he focused to himself, his grandpa, and also Little White altogether to have a better judgement, leadership and coordination.

But of course he still can"t control the State of Zone. This Third state that Xiao Che come up with is something that he needed to do with full of consciousness, not something like instict that he wanted to rely on to enter this state.

Even though his theory of State of Zone sometimes can be entered instinctually, he still wanted this state can be mastered by doing it with full of consciousness.

So, his everyday life is so full of training that when he already done with his grandfather training he still keep training. This training of State of Mind is really taking it"s toll on his mind. Even though his body is still have energy, sometimes his mind can"t keep up and that make Xiao Che start to get tired quickly.

But he still undauntedly keep doing his "extra" training that keep burdening but also strengthen his mind at the same time.

Today, another day of training already began but with two additional person. It"s Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba. His grandfather, Xiao Lie giving his full attention to his two new disciples. While Xiao Che doing his training alone.

For the first, Qingyue and Yuanba taught about all the things regarding Profound Energy, Level, Arts and everything about it. Then they start cultivating their profound energy. Xiao Lie really shocked to the bone when he checked the originally opened Profound Entrances of Xia Qingyue.

When he counted the opened Profound Entrances, it actually have 21 opened Profound Entrances, to him Xia Qingyue is definitely number one genius regarding potential in cultivation of Profound Energy. Xia Yuanba on the other hand only have 10 Profound Entrances that opened making him only slightly better than ordinary people.

The two siblings diligently trained under guidance of Xiao Lie. Xiao Che who trained alone didn"t slacked off in his training.

Now Xiao Che who usually use his heavy sword using two hands, now he tried to swing his sword only using one hand. He tried to swing his sword without the helps of profound energy and only by purely his body strength.

One swing by one swing, Xiao Che counting the times he swing his heavy sword vertically from straight up above his head then stepped in with his right legs while swing down with his full power and stopped the heavy sword before it touch the ground splitting up the wind and cause a whistling sound. Then he straigthen his body back wile pulled the heavy sword back up above his head and swing it dow back while stepping in with his right leg.

He repeated this drill till his hundreth swing then switched his right hand with his left hand doing the same move.

Next, horizontal slash from right to left with his right hand a hundred times

Next, horizontal slash from left to right with his left hand a hundred times.

Next, diagonal slash from up right to down left with his right hand a hundred times.

Next, diagonal slash from up left to down right with his left hand a hundred times.

Next,...

Next,... Next,...

Next,... Next,... Next,...

After One and a half month, Qingyue already breakthrough to Elementary Profound Realm. With her talents and Nine Profound Exquisite Body const.i.tution Xiao Che suggested to his grandfather to let Xia Qingyue fully focused in her cultivation of profound strength.

Unexpectedly, just after another two months. Qingyue have another breakthrough ! Xiao Lie stunned by the feat of this young lady and her talent.

Xiao Che also have a decent improvement, and the weights on his body increased once more a few weeks ago.

Another one and half a month, Yuanba finally have a breakthrough to First level Elementary Profound Realm.

Yuanba, then requesting Xiao Lie to give him the weights like Xiao Che wear and also a heavy sword weapon as he wanted to be like his cool Big Brother Che. Xiao Lie granted Yuanba request. After the training for that day finished, Xiao Che talked to his grandfather.

"grandpa, can I have my heavy sword customized to fit my heigths ? And also make it heavier." Xiao Che also make a request to his grandfather.

In the past one year and a half, Xiao Che grown quite a bit in height and got muscled a little but still on a lean side. That is why he wanted his heavy sword to customized a little.

In the next day, Xiao Lie give Yuanba the weights for his wrist, body and feet just like Xiao Che and a heavy sword to Yuanba. The Heavy Sword belong to Xiao Che also was already done customized so they can still train normally. Only Yuanba have to start a new course of training.

The three kids keep training and training only Xiao Lingxi didn"t start her training as Xiao Lie didn"t let her to train yet until she was 6 years old.

"Daddy You Bully !!" shout Xiao Lingxi to her father as she felt like she got left behind by Little Che, Qingyue and Yuanba.
