For the first time,
Master Wushu brought Shams along in the session of the younger ones for their basic lessons.
[1] Meditation
[2] Breathing exercises
[3] Ki condensation
Each student was concentrating on accomplishing each lesson given by Master Wushu.
They are all wearing their training attire and scattered on their own spot as they take their own form in trying to meditate and have more control over their own ki.
"Try dig deeper in your inner conscience and allow yourself to tap that force within you and the energy that surrounds you. Combine those two as you gather and absorb it within you. Control the flow as you guide it within you. Then contain it as long as you can without losing control over it." Master Wushu reminding the younger ones.
There were so much focus and conviction from each of them to accomplish it perfectly without delay.
"If you fail to keep it within you. Keep practicing until you succeed." Further reminded by Master Wushu.
While everyone was trying their to best to keep going at it,
Shams suddenly asked Master Wushu, "Then what I do next? Because I think I have reached my small container for it."
A surprised look was painted all over Master Wushu's face. He did not expect Shams to easily control the circulation of his own ki and be able to fill his own dantian with so much concentrated ki.
"Oh yeah, right! Dantian … I have filled my dantian already and I have been playing with my ki as I connect it with my meridians. The connecting vessels for my own ki have been constantly dealing with the circulation of my ki after filling up my dantian. Should I keep refining my ki, master?"
Master Wushu was completely astonished from the query of Shams.
At his young age, he could already refine his own ki without any intense training.
Meaning, Shams could potentially have extreme powers once his ki developed and harnessed properly.
It gave Master Wushu more inclination to teach Shams earlier and include him more often.
The others were too immersed in their own meditation and attempt to gather the natural energy of their surroundings.
"Little Ryoku, focus the excess ki from within and release it from your palm without letting it go." Master Wushu instructed Shams so he could see the potential that the little one has.
When Master Wushu thought there would be no more surprises but unfortunately he witnessed another stupefying scene.
All of their eyes were closed from the deep concentration that all of them are currently in.
Only Master Wushu could see the amount of ki that Shams has gathered and controlling at the moment.
"Little Ryoku, you can stop gathering ki now and you can relax. Try calming yourself as you try stabilizing you own meridian channels." Last reminder of Master Wushu to his youngest disciple.
"Yes, Master!" Shams' reply.
Unknown to Shams, he has just showcased an unbelievable potential in front of Master Wushu and has no idea to what extent his cultivation may achieve if it just exhibited such tremendous potential.
It gave Master Wushu the intention to even research further the case of Shams and the extreme developments that he has been showing lately.
Hours after, everyone was dismissed and Master Wushu assigned Hawks to look after Shams.
=====================
[-By the entrance of the Forest-]
Hawks is accompanied by Shams, Billy, Rankuza and Maya.
"H-hawks, aren't we supposed not allowed to go here in the forest on our own?" Rankuza stuttered in telling Hawks about the rules of Master Wushu.
"Don't be sissy, Rankuza! We will just practice for an hour here. We are not in a deep, deep forest. We are just practicing by the entrance of the forest, not inside." Hawks retorted Rankuza's concern.
"At least here we can go all out with our practice without worrying about getting reprimanded by our senior or Master Wushu." Billy pointed out one of the reasons he agreed with Hawks.
Maya was silent as she held Shams' hand.
Shams was observing the three argue…
'We have one chubby boy, one dark-skinned with glasses and a haughty bossy one. Instead of utilizing the time we have. Here we are wasting it!' He shook his head while watching the three argue further than practicing.
"Isn't this your idea?" Hawks mentioned Rankuza's previous statement.
"H-how did this became my idea?" Rankuza got curious how it became his fault.
*** Flashback ***
[-By the outer part wall of the school-]
After eating lunch,
Yuri gave the younger ones to get some certain herbs that can be picked up just by the outer part wall of the school.
As they were picking up herbs, including Shams who tagged along to avoid irritating Hawks further since he was assigned by Master Wushu to Hawks' care.
"Why are we doing this kind of silly stuff?" Hawks complaining about the task given to them.
Billy was even sweating a lot due to the heat of the sun.
"Stop complaining and let's just finish this." Maya lectured Hawks.
"I want to practice what I have learned and go all out. Don't want to go all out as well and see how much you can do after all the lessons we had with Master Wushu? Isn't it great to see if we really can put into practice the things we have learned from Master Wushu?" the words of Hawks made the others silent and contemplate.
Until… Rankuza spoke, "Well, the entrance of the forest is few meters away from here. If you want to go all out, I bet it will be the best space to really go all out." Rankuza nonchalantly expressed his thoughts while picking up the herbs.
When he was done picking up the herbs needed, Hawks and the others were looking at him with a smile on their face.
"Guys, why are you looking at me like that?" nervously asked by Rankuza while holding the herbs which Yuri asked them to procure.
*** End of Flashback ***
"I was not expecting for you guys to really go for it. How I wish I just kept it to myself…" Rankuza airing out his regret about sharing his thoughts.
"Let's start! Before someone could notice us gone." Hawks signaled the others to begin.
"Here, if you are not practicing with us then kindly hold little Ryoku!" Maya handed over Shams to the upset and nervous Rankuza.
As Maya started to position herself from a certain distance …
Shams watched the others aside from Rankuza who is holding his hand.
"Don't forget, gather then release the excess combined energy with your own ki." Uttered by Hawks.
Then a smile formed on their faces.
Altogether, the three of them released an impressive form of energy which surrounds their entire body.
"Woaaah!" Shams could not contain his amusement.
"Time to go all-out. Let's see how much we have learned!" Hawks declared.
