'Cultivation is an abstract form of martial arts; each one has different traits and different energy. No one can have the same energy and this energy gives life to all living things, this energy is what we call Qi.'
Implied the 4th book.
'Qi is an important part of martial arts; without this, you cannot cultivate. To learn martial arts, you must have the right body for it.'
4th book implied.
“So how do I learn martial arts?” Asked Sung Kang to the 4th book. Then the third book butted in and said,
'You already know one martial art; I can feel faint Qi on you already, this itself is already weird. Who taught you, child?'
The 3rd book implied, looking suspiciously at Sung Kang.
“You mean “flow arts”? said Sung Kang nonchalantly.
'What is that technique? I have never heard anything called “flow arts” 3rd book was not convinced and just snorted thinking it was just a puny technique to just defend oneself and not for killing.'
'Flow arts? I see… That is a good technique.' 4th book implied.
'What? 4th you know what this technique is? Tell me 4th.' 3rd book shocked and asked 4th book to spit out what he knows.
'I know just a bit about it I’ll tell you later 3rd, now Sung Kang where did you learn this and who taught you? 4th book asking urgently about it to confirm his suspicions.'
“It was a long time ago; I was still selling juice when I was still a child at our local playground. There was this lady that always sat down by the tree and would watch me make my juice, she looked hungry and I thought she was homeless so I gave her my lunch and the juice that I wasn’t able to sell or the excess of my stocks. I continued to give her food and drink for 1 month when suddenly she disappeared from the playground, she probably went somewhere. It was about 1 week after her disappearance my stall got thrashed and destroyed by the local gang and stole all my money when I got to get more fruits for my stall.

I was also beaten up a bit when I walked home. The woman came back and when she saw what happened to me, she got angry and just walked away. I don’t know what got into her but the next day she came back with a lot of money and gave it to me. She then told me that I learn self-defense to fight back when there is trouble and so I did. She taught me how to fight for about 3 years until she left and never came back. I still haven’t seen her to this day, I wonder how she’s doing.” Sung Kang wonders in nostalgia.
“Satisfied with my story?” Sung Kang, asking the 3rd and 4th book.
'Just to be sure, what did that woman look like when you saw her?'
Asked by the 3rd book unable to hold back his curiosity.
'Yes, I would like to know that as well.'
4th book agrees with the 3rd book.
“I couldn’t tell from her face because she wore a really big and deep hood and her jacket was very long, so long it covered her body. But she was a very tall woman and she had weirdly long fingers and her hand was huge as well.” Described Sung Kang.
'Tall woman…huh...and long fingers? Hmm... hmm...' the 3rd book thinking deeply.
'Do you see anything unique about that woman? '4th book asked with worrying anxiety.
“Hmmm… something unique ey… Ah! She had a huge tattoo that cover her whole arm… I think I was a tattoo of a red dragon with a lot of wings? I think…”
3rd and 4th books stopped floating and dropped on the ground. They were shocked beyond words and in awe when they heard from Sung Kang. They didn’t believe it, no they refused to believe it. It was simply impossible and unheard of.
'4th… that’s… her, isn’t it?' 3rd book was shivering in fear.
'3rd… ye...yes… that’s her…it’s her alright.' 4th book was still from shock and just agreed.
'“Who was it? Who taught me Flow arts? Do you know her?” 'Sung Kang curiously asked the 2 books on the ground.
'That is complicated to answer and it would take a long to explain the whole thing.'
'We suggest that you cultivate and get stronger to survive the first waves.'
The first and second floating books have awoken and answered Sung Kang.
