After Qiang Shen left his house, he started running with all his strength and in 10 minutes he arrived at the Houhai Lake near the Jingshan Park, at that time there were several people, he looked for a quiet area but when he did not find, he climbed a tree close where the branches hid it perfectly and started the first cycle of the breathing method.After he finished the first cycle of breathing and started again, Qiang Shen manage to feel a strange presence, it had no form or essence, it did not seem hostile but harmonious and he felt that it was enveloping it. When he realized, his conscience was inside his Dantian and when he checked his surroundings he did not recognize what he saw.
In his past life, when he arrived at the third realism and started his way with the Dao of the sword, his Dantian seemed an infinite field with buried swords, and each time he understood more of the Dao more swords were showing their complete form, as if they recognized with their equal, as if they had their own conscience. But on this occasion it was all different, first he saw that above him there was an object that looked like a giant pendulum and around his person, he saw that they were what appeared to be six vortices and in the center there was a stone feather on a pedestal. When Qiang Shen try to approach one of the vortices he could not touch them, he hit against what seemed to be a force field.
-----------------------------------------------------
While Qiang Shen"s consciousness was inside his Dantian, a strange phenomenon was happening in the outside world. As if they were being attracted by something, storm clouds began to appear in the sky above Lake Houhai and were expanding throughout the capital, then those same clouds were beginning to form a kind of spiral and without anyone noticing, it started raining.
------------------------------------------------------
Qiang Shen was completely silent. He didn"t know why or how but that presence that he had felt, was beginning to enter his body and one of the vortices began to shine with a sky blue tone and began to form an image within that vortex, but Qiang Shen could not discern what image it was.
----------------------------------------------------
When people outside saw the rain falling from these strange clouds, people who were in the vicinity of Lake Houhai saw an even stranger phenomenon, when the drops of rain were falling, it seemed that the water of the lake were throwing water . You could see clearly how drops of water were coming out of the lake and when they reached a height that they calculated was 5 meters, it seemed as if they were hitting something and they disappeared, it was a strange spectacle to see while some drops fell, others rose, It was like watching a dance of nature.
After thirty minutes of seeing that phenomenon, the people of the surroundings saw how it ended, it did not take two minutes before they could feel the last drops of rain fall. When people saw that the show was over, they began to withdraw without realizing that a thin layer of fog began to appear.
----------------------------------------------------
The next morning, more specifically at 5 am, people living around the lake and getting up early, realized that the dense fog was covering the whole area of Lake Houhai throughout the night, little by little It started to disappear.
After a period of twenty more minutes had pa.s.sed, the dense fog finally disappeared and Qiang Shen finally finished the first cycle of breathing and opened his eyes. Qiang Shen did not know how many times he repeated the first cycle of breathing, but they were enough to have finished completely tired and fainted for at least a month, however he felt completely full of energy and completely happy. He had completed his first nucleus of natural energy.
After he had finished cultivating, he realized that each of the vortices was the s.p.a.ce of a natural energy core of each of the main Daos, and the one he had just generated was the natural energy core of the Dao of the water. The image that had been generated in that vortex was that of a small lake with extremely blue water almost turning black. He understood that the more extreme natural spiritual energy of Water he absorbed, the better his understanding of the Dao of Water he would have but he does not know where to find a place with extreme natural energy of Water. You could continue to absorb natural water energy from the environment as he normally do, but his understanding would be progressively slower, but as the dichi says: getting a little is better than nothing.
Immediately after he reacted, he got down from the tree where he was and returned home as quickly as he could. His happiness was not anything else for having completed the first nucleus of natural energy, it was also because immediately after having stopped in his cultivation, a series of techniques appeared in his head. These techniques had fluid movements, sometimes they were calm and others were aggressive but always with constant movement. It seemed that these techniques were created trying to imitate the characteristics of water as a basis.
After Qiang Shen returned home, he took a bath, but this time, he felt the drops different when they fell on his body. Every drop he felt was as if a wave of energy were spreading through his body. He realized that he really understood a little the essence of what Water was.
After he finished bathing he put on his school uniform, breakfast with his parents, updated the training of Qiang Xun and went to the 4th South Middle School.

That day, the beautiful Miss Zhen Lin was back in the school nurse"s office. It had been a few days since she returned to work. She was hospitalized 4 days of which 2 days she was unconscious and after she was discharged, she was three days off from work and in those days, the police was visiting her and asking her if she remembered anything of what happened but she could not remember nothing, however every day she had the same dream, she was in a foggy place surrounded by monsters that looked like zombies, then she felt extreme heat and then when she felt that she was going to die, she saw that a man was kissing her but she did not know who It was and when finally saw the face of that person, it was the image of a young man from his school.
"I"ve fallen in love with him unconsciously" she thought "no, it"s impossible, I"m older than him for almost 8 years, I must be imagining things" he thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
That night, while Qiang Shen was cultivating at Lake Houhai, a woman inside a hotel in Beijing was watching TV, started to hear a voice shouting at her and went to see what was happening.
