Xue Daoyong smiled slightly and said, "When a martial artist enters the realm, their Inner Qi leaves the body."
"After Qi Condensation, Inner Qi can be condensed. Upon entering the second layer, one must harmonize the processes of [Qi Condensation], [Meridian], and [Body Casting], allowing the condensed Qi to naturally form a cycle throughout the body. Look, just like this."
The old man's robe fluttered, and a stream of condensed Qi orbited around him.
Li Guanyi reached out to touch it and felt a clear sense of repulsion, as if placing his hand into a storm. Xue Daoyong said, "This is [Defense]. The circulation of Inner Qi throughout the body can, to a certain extent, avoid most hidden weapons and cause arrows to deviate. It is the foundation of the third layer's Qi Condensing Armor."
"[Attack] is much simpler," he said.
Xue Daoyong held a wooden stick, from which Qi Radiance surged forth.
This was a hallmark of post-Qi Condensation.
