First Practice

Fang Empire,

On a scorching noonday in the village of South Autumn Leaf, there lie bodies, exhausted along with their rough breathing and puddles of sweat beneath their bodies. Resting, gasping for any oxygen they can intake.

"Alright, rest is over, stand up" a stern and commanding voice of a middle age-man, having broad shoulders and fierce eyes.

"Today, we will be practicing Basic Qi Refining Technique, Move Along!" with his shout, all the trainees or in terms of power levels, the low-leveled-apprentices sat down and did a lotus position individually (sit on your but, put the back of your left foot on your right upper hips, while the right foot on the left upper hips).

"Take deep breaths and inhale the qi in the atmosphere, then allow the qi to enter your body, following the paths on Basic Qi Refining Technique" the middle-aged man continued, "Let the qi repair and strengthen your bodies, after 5 rounds of Refining, We will continue!"

After hearing the middle age-man voice, the apprentices heaves a sigh of relief, thanking the heavens for the rest they were given.

Not too far away from the training grounds, there is a boy...specifically a baby, a 5-month-old baby, watching everything that happened within the training ground.

Fortunately, because of the instructor's loud voice, the baby heard everything.

'Basic Qi Refining Technique?...hmm? What that!' eyes sparkling with curiosity, the boy wondered in his mind.

Observing the trainees' action, the boy crawled closer to the training grounds, every once in a while, the baby's body would spasm uncontrollably.

'Urgh it hurts so much!' the baby frowns with that cute and soft babyface.

As he crawled closer, the instructor noticed a weird baby watching them. If curiosity could sparkle within one's eyes, the baby's eyes would shine like the morning sun.

'Whose child is this?' The instructor wondered.

He went to the baby, carried the baby up, and patted it. "Hey, little kid? you lost or something?" the instructor asked intimately.

It seems this instructor has a soft spot for babies...wait, who doesn't?

Oddly enough the baby looked into the Instructor's eyes and shook his head left and right.

Surprised by the action of the baby, the Instructor asked "What's up?" while slowly caressing the baby's face.

"Waa~ waa? Babuu buu buu~" pointing towards the trainees the baby responded.

'Hmm? seems like this kid is interested in training huh?' the Instructor thought "They're training".

"Wreningh?" The boy tilted his head

"Yes, training, here let me show you, first they absorb the qi in the atmosphere, second..." Then unconsciously, the Instructor sat down and explained the whole training method of the Basic Qi Refining Technique to a random baby...

At first, a look of curiosity was in the baby's eyes, but after a while the, baby now nods his head from time to time, seemingly understanding what the Instructor said.

----

After a round of explaining, the trainees slowly woke up from their cultivation.

They were shocked to find that their instructor was explaining the Basic Qi Refining Technique to a baby.

'Is the instructor hungry?'

'Is he mad?'

'Why is he explaining that to a baby?'

'O my Ghad I think we need to call the doctor!'

Some panicked, thinking that their instructor got mad, while others were perplexed at the absurdity of the situation.

At the same time, the instructor finished his explanation, the trainees were now all finished cultivating.

"What are you looking at?!" the instructor shouted fiercely, the intimate and caring gentle face was now replaced by the same demon face the instructor makes at them, "GO TRAIN YOUR EXERCISES NOW!!"

"Brawwaaah whaaa!! Bawaaw!" weirdly, the baby shouted too, but because of his cuteness, the strict and rough atmosphere turned into fluffy and sweet.

"Awhh" A trainee awed, and that trainee made the worst decision of his day.

------

After being pampered by the instructor, the baby left while also patting the chest and saying "An chu~" at the instructor, the instructor replied "Your, welcome" naturally, like it was not a conversation between a baby and a middle age-man, but of bros.

The baby went home, sat down, did a lotus position perfectly, and followed the Basic Qi Refining Technique that he just learned.

In a normal occurrence, when a person is training the Basic Qi Refining Technique, the hardest and excruciating part would be feeling the Qi in the atmosphere.

Some even does not have the ability to feel the qi, some do extreme things like, applying mud on their body, or special ointments just to feel the natural qi, regularly others took one to two months of feeling and feeling and feeling again just to feel a tiny dot of qi in the atmosphere, and that just for a normal person.

While there might be some special persons who can feel the qi after 1 to 2 weeks, and in the whole continent, that person is would be considered a genius.

Except for a special baby in the planet of South Star Planet, in the Azure Sky Continent, in the Fang Empire, within the village of South Autumn Leaf, inside the living room of a dilapidated and broken down house, who after comfortably doing a lotus position, did his first refining technique...
