"Ah-Dai, I discovered this place not long ago, its as if heaven is helping me, and its perfect for you to practice here. Come on, lets go up." As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Ah-Dais waist and gently descended onto the largest reef rock, the sound of waves crashing against the rocks was constant, todays weather was sunny but the waves here were unusually big.

  "Ah-Dai, theres a special spot on this reef. Its naturally formed, and for some reason, the waves that have passed over other reefs will create an enormous impact force here. Ive set up a large wooden stake there. Soon, Ill tie you to the stake with your arms free. You need to follow my instructions on how to cultivate your internal energy, transforming it into explosive energy, and constantly counteract the impact force of the seawater, trying not to let it crash against your body. Understand? This way, you can both train your body and practice the Life-Death Decision. Look, its right there."

  Ah-Dai looked in the direction Owen pointed, and indeed, among the large reefs, there was a vacant spot. The seawater formed huge waves after passing through other reefs, constantly impacting the front reefs. Years of impact made the reefs closest to the sea surface appear with a large depression. In the center of that vacant spot, a wooden stake about one meter in diameter stood still, no matter how the seawater impacted it.

  "Ah-Dai asked hesitantly: "Uncle, how did you stand the wooden stake there?"

  Owen smiled mysteriously and said, "Under the sea water, there is a large reef. Uncle used his true energy to drive the wooden stake into the reef, so it can stand firm. Today is your first time, just do your best. If you cant resist the waves, then let them wash over your body." After finishing speaking, Owen took Ah-Dai and jumped down. The broken part of the wooden stake had a protruding area that was just right for Ah-Dai to step on. Owen took out the rope he had prepared beforehand and tied Ah-Dais body to the wooden stake while frequently waving his palm backwards. Although the impact force of the waves was very strong, they couldnt reach within three meters in front of them.

  "Ah-Dai, watch closely how Uncle is doing it, you try slowly by yourself. Two hours later, Ill come to pick you up." After finishing speaking, Owen lifted one foot onto the wooden stake and his body shot upwards towards the sky, landing on a nearby reef rock, after several ups and downs, he disappeared from Ah-Dais line of sight.

  Boom, a huge wave slammed into Ah-Dais body, and he felt like his whole body had been hit by something heavy. He didnt have time to adjust and hurriedly used his inner energy to push out with his palms. Normally, Ah-Dai rarely had the opportunity to use his inner energy in combat, and he had no experience with it. The energy he released was scattered and couldnt be concentrated, so it could only reduce the impact of the waves, but not block them. Fortunately, the waves werent continuous, and after a few big ones, there would be a brief pause before they came again, giving Ah-Dai a chance to catch his breath. Ah-Dais palms kept waving out, and the waves were like an expert helping him practice using his inner energy. Two hours felt so long for Ah-Dai now, although he couldnt block the water from hitting his body, he still persisted in his efforts, again and again. Ah-Dai was almost knocked unconscious by the waves several times, but he still held on. With a loud crash, Ah-Dai finally used up all his remaining energy and could only cover his face with his hands, letting the waves keep washing over his body.

  Owen didnt go far, he hid behind a reef and watched Ah-Dai constantly fighting against the waves. Ah-Dais performance obviously couldnt satisfy him. With Ah-Dais current Shengsheng Douqi realm, he could have done much better, but his application was not good. This childs comprehension was really inferior. Sighing, Owen stood up and jumped onto the wooden stake, pulling down Ah-Dai who was already somewhat dizzy, and carrying him on his shoulder to the reef.

  The sun was high in the sky, Owen placed Ah-Dai on a flat surface, his hands grasped Ah-Dais upper body, and with a burst of internal energy, he infused it into Ah-Dais body. With the external force pouring in, Ah-Dai suddenly felt invigorated, clearing up somewhat. Owen said in a low voice: "Concentrate your spirit, sink your breath to the Dan Tian, and circulate your Qi through the hundred meridians."

  Ah-Dai felt his entire body as if it had fallen apart, and he couldnt describe the unbearable pain. His soft and weak body was unable to exert any strength. Owens palms continuously transmitted a warm heat flow, which made him feel slightly better. He barely managed to borrow Owens true energy to absorb the remaining energy in his body, and gradually entered a meditative state.

  Until the afternoon, Ah-Dai finally woke up, and Owen had been guarding him by his side. The deafening sound of the waves kept rising, "Wake up, eat something first." He said, handing Ah-Dai a basket of steamed buns and salted fish. After several hours of rest, Ah-Dais vital energy had basically recovered, but his body was still sore, and all the muscles in his body were soft and weak. Taking over the basket, Ah-Dai wolfed down the food, eating being Ah-Dais favorite thing to do, also the best way to replenish his energy.

  "Your performance today was very disappointing, you know? With your skills, you should have been able to hold on for two hours, but instead... You forgot what I taught you? Wheres the mental state of being unshaken even when faced with a collapsing mountain? Just one wave and you forgot everything, wasting too much energy at the start. And do you think you can really counter the waves with your current level? Your aura is so scattered, how can it withstand the impact of the waves? If it were a single strike, at least you could block the waves heading towards you and conserve energy. Think about it yourself." Having said that, Owen picked up the basket and walked away without looking back.

  ADai sat alone on the reef, the taste of steamed buns and salted fish still lingering in his mouth. Since coming here, Owen had rarely scolded him, even when he did something wrong, Owen would patiently guide him. The sudden severity made ADai somewhat unacceptable. He patted his own head and muttered to himself: "It seems that I am really too stupid." What does it mean to concentrate all ones strength on a single point? ADai kept pondering the meaning of this phrase until nightfall before returning home.

  Ouwen had already prepared dinner and when Ah Dai came back, he threw out a sentence, "Im going to see your Uncle Xier," and left.

  Ah-Dai knew that Owen wouldnt really get angry with him, it was just his own incompetence that made it hard to say, and he secretly vowed to work harder to meet Owens standards. After finishing dinner, he didnt waste a single moment, not even thinking deeply, and directly entered a meditative state. As he cultivated the vital energy, Ah-Dai continued to ponder the meaning of "Transcendence in One Strike".

  The next morning at dawn, before it was light, Ah-Dai got up. He quickly made breakfast and then went to Owens room and knocked on the door, "Bang, bang, bang, Uncle, get up, Ive made breakfast."

  The door opened and Owen walked out wearing a coat, "How so early? Ah-Dai."

  "Uncle, I didnt meditate last night, I just sat there and finished the 27 cycles a bit faster. Lets eat quickly, then you can come with me to the rocky area, I want to try out that one-hit breakthrough you mentioned."

  Ouwen smiled slightly and said, "Alright, lets eat first. Cultivating skills isnt just about bitter practice to make rapid progress, comprehension is also very important. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, but it cant make you a top-notch master. In your free time, think more about the application of Dou Qi, it will be very beneficial for you."

  "Uncle, Ah-Dai knows hes stupid, but Ill definitely work hard and try not to disappoint you."

  Owen patted Ah-Dais shoulder, "Alright, Uncle wasnt mad at you yesterday, and its not your fault either. Yesterday was your first time facing this kind of practice after all. Does your body still hurt?"

  "Ah, my shoulders are still a bit sore," Ah Diao muttered, "but other than that, Im much better."

  Owen smiled and said: "If it werent for the quick recovery of your vital energy, you might not have been able to get out of bed today. Its almost dawn, lets eat first and then set off."

  Although its already May, the seaside in the early morning still has a bit of chill, and the salty sea breeze keeps blowing against Ah-Dai and Owen. Owen turns his head to Ah-Dai and says: "The weather is a bit cool, can you take it? Remember, use three parts of your strength to store seven parts, so that when your first strike ends, the power of your second strike has already been fully stored, in order to achieve the level of endless circulation."

  "Ah, stupid! Three parts gather and seven parts release? But I didnt think that way yesterday! Uncle, isnt the meaning of "one strike" to concentrate all your potential together, compress it, and then suddenly release it? How did it become three parts gather and seven parts release?"

  Owen was stunned, he didnt think Ah-Dai understood it that way, but Ah-Dais explanation also made sense. He smiled and said: "What you said is a world-shocking blow, not a penetrating attack. Ah-Dai, youve made progress, now you can think for yourself. Uncle will tell you, the difference between a penetrating blow and what you call a world-shocking blow is that a penetrating attack doesnt necessarily require full force, as long as the power released can solve the problem, its enough. Their commonality lies in condensing the true energy within the body into one stream, compressing it to the limit, and then releasing it outside the body, forming an unstoppable column of true energy."

  Ah-Dai looked at Owen with a silly expression, scratching his own head.

  "Owen continued, Ah-Dai, you must remember that a move like "One Strike to Rule Them All" cant be used lightly. Because once you unleash all your power and potential in one strike, if it doesnt completely defeat the enemy, youll inevitably have a period of time where you cant counterattack, leaving yourself open to being slaughtered. So unless absolutely necessary, dont do that, got it?"

  At this time, they had arrived at the reef group, and the sea breeze had obviously increased. Ah-Dai said: "Uncle, lets go down now, you tie me up there, Ill try."

  Owen shook his head and said, "The wind is too strong, the water was cold this morning. How about this, you show Uncle what you were thinking of as a world-shocking move yesterday." Yesterday, he had already noticed that Ah-Dai was always thinking about something, and the reason he didnt bother Ah-Dai was to give him some space to think quietly. Today was the time to test the results.

  "Uncle, didnt you say that One Strike to Move the World is useless? Then why should I still practice it?"

  Ouwen smiled and said, "Its not useless. The difference is just in the application of the aura, you try using your World-Shaking Strike first and let Uncle take a look, then Ill help you correct it."

  "Give it your all, youve already cultivated your Vital Energy to the fourth level, it should have some power. The target is that boulder in front of us." As he spoke, Owen pointed to a small boulder about three meters away from them, behind which was the vast ocean.

  ADai nodded, took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the reef where he was standing, and thought about his thoughts again yesterday. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and activated the circulation of the true energy in his body.

  A faint white glow appeared around Ah-Dais body, Ah-Dai steadied his horse, clenched his fists and held them at his waist, using his spiritual power to control the rising of the Dan Tians Dou Qi, slowly gathering it without any reserve towards his right fist. The true energy within his body was continuously condensed under his desperate urging, ignoring the consequences. The white glow around his body suddenly converged, and Owen could clearly see that Ah-Dais true energy had reached the chest area and was moving towards his right fist.

  ADais right fist lit up, and the pure true energy throughout his body was fully condensed. He took a deep breath, using his mental power to strongly compress the pure true energy gathered in his right fist. Although the light dimmed, Owen was shocked to discover that ADais right fist had condensed explosive power.
