Dr. Harris lead them to another room inside his room. This room had bean bags slump on the floor in a circular organization. There were no windows, only four bright lightbulbs, and the room was 17 meters wide and a length of 13 meters with a height of 6 meters.
“Everyone take a seat on the bean bags,” instructed Dr. Harris.
“Sure.”
“Ok.”
Everyone took a seat on the bean bags. Lintian thought it was pretty comfortable.
“I’ll introduce you all. This is Wei Lintian who is ranked dead last,” Dr. Harris said as he pointed at Lintian. Then he pointed at Alex, “this here is Alex Giovani who ranked 76th on the ranking list. Lastly Celyis Barosa rank 457. Normally only the top 50 or 100 gets picked but I like to have a little fun while I’m at it. This is a teaching experience after all. Furthermore anyone can take a talented kid train him to win. Not everyone can take kids like you and make them number one. Lets began by introducing yourselves. Tell your teammates a little about yourself. Alex you can start.”
“Excuse me, Dr. Harris but why is there only three of us? I thought you get to pick five?” Lintian questions.
“I only found three interesting students to train,” Harris shrugs, “the other two are with the other teachers. Alex you may begin.”
“As you all know my name is Alex Giovani. I am the seventh young master of the Giovani clan. My aim is be the strongest in the world.”
“Next how about you Celyis?”
“Umm. I’m Celyis Barosa. Umm. I am the third daughter of the Barosa clan. I like cake, cookies, and umm ice cream. Umm my dream is to become as strong as my sister.”
“Good job Celyis and now we have Lintian.”
“My name is Wei Lintian and the third son of the Tsukino family. I don’t really have a dream or a goal. Just want to pass through life.”
Dr. Harris saw a lie in Lintian’s statement but stayed quiet about.
“Ok my name is Bartholomule Harris and I am 47 years old this year. I am a researcher of theories and you all have a very interesting bodies and shouldn’t be here at a second rate school. Honestly I am a busybody and just want you three to reach your full potential.”
Lintian and Alex both giggles to themselves thinking that Harris sounds like a pedophile just now.
“Ha I’m the strongest in the world of course I would reach my full potential” yelled out Alex after his giggles.
Dr. Harris rolled his eyes.
“Anyway I want to help you along the way as best as I can. So for starters I am going to give you all your own personal training schedules for this year. Just follow it for now. Alex your attack and defense are not bad but your brain is kind of stupid no offense. You’re still only 8 so I’ll give you a break. Cultivate like you normally do and fight people more often that might help. Lintian will be your training partner. Celyis your strong, but you’re just way to shy. So for you I am going to help you overcome your fear of people. Lintian you just do what you normally do,” when he said that last line he winks. Then he taps the watch on his wrist and sent out a message to each of his kids.
Lintian opens his message. It read.
[Lintian your secret is safe with me. Your training is a bit special. Meet me at the forest behind your family’s forest in the backyard after school. I will text you the time later. I will help you hunt those demonic beasts to open up your meridian points first, but first I will teach you a martial skill I invented.]
“You two go back to class and cultivate since there is nothing I can teach you at stage one of the refinement realm. Further more i’ll give you this meridian opening method that I developed to increase your speed of opening your meridian points and cultivation speed. Study it but don’t try to attempt it. I will have to oversee you or else permanent damage may be done to your veins,” he said and toss both of them both a flash drive. “Also tell your family its time to get a companion if you don’t have one yet. You may leave now. ”
Lintian, Alex, and Celyis all got up and was about to leave when Dr. Harris said,
“Lintian you stay behind. You two go back to class.”
“Ok” they respond in union. As the other two left Lintian stayed behind.
When Alex and Celyis closed the door behind them Dr. Harris snapped his fingers and a wave of qi shot out sealing the room.

“I just set up a sound barrier. Don't worry to much. Anyway, you're only at stage two of the refinement realm with three meridian points open. That in itself is a miracle. Strangely enough it just enough for me to pass on an offensive skill to you. I notice you have an extraordinary footwork technique but lack an offensive skill to go with it. It just so happens I developed a martial technique that would be able to accompany you,” Dr. Harris said.
Lintian’s smile was as wide and open as the full moon on a clear dark night. He was excited to learn an offensive skill.
“This skill is call soul penetrating fist. Eh I know the name sounds a bit rusty but it's a good technique. Its able to directly skip the opponents defense and go for their internal organs or whatever they have on the inside.”
“Skip defense?” questioned Lintian.
“Yes, skip defense. A normal martial art punch technique releases qi at the wrist point but mine release point is the front of the fist. It requires precise timing in order to be release. This technique will allow you to damage cultivators two stages above you if you master it,” he said proudly.
“Awesome, are you going to teach me now?”
“As a matter of fact yes. Now watch carefully.”
Dr. Harris moved his fist onto his side and his qi began to fluctuate.
“First move the qi from you dantian and make a connection with your first. This will allow you to establish a road for you qi to travel.”
Then Dr. Harris moved his fist from his waste to the air in a punching motion and when he fully extended a sonic boom sound exploded in front of his fist.
“Afterwards when you punch move as much qi from your dantian through that road as your veins can carry but make sure to get the timing right. When you fully extend your arm to the point where your first can’t move any further thats when the qi should be release. Just a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of a second before your punch can’t go any further.”
“Can I give it a try right now?”
“Sure go ahead.”
Lintian got into the same pose as he did. Then he slowly built a road between his dantian and his fist. Since it was his first time it took a whole minute for him to establish the connection. He managed to get a tiny thread of qi to connect the two points together. Lintian began to move his arm forward and he also started to move a massive about of qi from his dantian forward too. Except the qi moved way faster than he expected. It was three times faster than when he was using Emperor’s step.
The qi already left his arm when he fully extended his punch.
Afterwards Lintian felt like he just ran for a whole day none stop and began grasping for air. To us average human beings it would be the equivalent of being forced to run a whole marathon nonstop without prior training.
Dr. Harris stood there looking at the gasping Lintian. So an Asura’s vein is able to carry two times more qi through the veins than an average person. Maybe more since it didn’t look like it reached a limit. Dr. Harris thought. He gave Lintian that technique without telling him how to control the amount of qi as to test Lintian’s vein. To see precisely how much it would let him carry. Normally at stage two of refinement realm the amount of qi that a person is able to release at one give time is 2/5 of the total qi that this stage can hold, but Lintian just release his whole dantian. Dr. Harris like he expected something like this would happen walks over to Lintian and injected some of his qi into him. It helps stabilize Lintian’s condition.
“Did I do something wrong?” Lintian asks, feeling like the reason he felt like this was because he messed up the timing.
“No, you did great. It was my bad. I didn't expect your veins to be able to release that much qi at one give time. The next attempt try to imagine a sphere around the amount of qi you want to release. Try it at 1/5th the amount you have. Since we are trying to get the timing down right now and not killing someone.”
“Ok,” Lintian said.
“Cultivate for half an hour until you get all your qi back and start again. It wasn’t a bad first attempt,” Dr. Harris said and fell back onto a bean bag.
Lintian began to cultivate. In his mind he was going over the timing and the sphere that Dr. Harris talked about.
