He raised his voice as he said, "This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can ask around, but I doubt you will find anywhere else where they are teaching the breathing technique for free. So you have to cherish this opportunity."
"Now what do you have to say for yourself?"
They looked back at him confused.
He sighed and said, "Say, Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you, teacher."
He shouted at them, "Louder."
They shouted back, "Thank you, teacher."
"Let me see your dedication. Speak louder."
"Thank you, teacher."
He still wasn't satisfied, "If you don't mean it, then don't say it."
They raised their voice to the limit, "Thank you, teacher."
He saw that many of them had strained their throats to thank him. He had also confirmed that they were grateful through the notifications of karma. So he was satisfied.
He said, "Good. I am teacher Red. I hope that you will appreciate my time and effort. Let us begin."
He gave them mats to sit on. Then he propped up the blackboard and began lecturing them on the mana breathing technique on the board.
He explained each diagram and the steps in a slow and easy-to-understand manner. Then he asked them to practice it while offering them corrections.
Normally, those who start training start with physical exercise. But he skipped that because it will be counterproductive to exercise on an empty stomach.
It is not that he is forgoing physical training completely. His plan is to begin physical training after they learn the breathing technique.
He also chose the water mana breathing technique because it is the easiest to learn with the fastest cultivation speed.
He did that so that they would learn faster and show results quicker. That way they will be grateful to him, and word will spread about his dojo quickly.
The lecture lasted two hours. They learned a lot, but they were still far from using the breathing technique.
It will take a while before they can use the breathing technique despite his great teaching because not only are they uneducated and can't read, but they also don't have a good understanding of human anatomy.
The inability to read is not a major problem. As long as they listen to him and understand what he is saying, then they will be able to learn the breathing technique.
But the lack of understanding of the human anatomy is a big problem. It is a problem that even the trainees in the training facility of the Dyson family have.
Most of the trainees he trained with learned with the trial-and-error method. If they are executing the breathing technique correctly, they will feel a cool sensation spread out through their bodies. That's how they learned.
They were unlike him, who knew about the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, bronchi, alveoli, etc. He knew exactly how to execute the breathing technique based on the instructions, so he was able to learn quickly.
The trainees at the training facility learned the breathing technique and used it to break through to the fourth transformation in at most two years.
These kids are not him or the trainees in the outer court, so it will take longer for them to show results. Fortunately, he doesn't have hope that they will learn quickly. He only hopes that they will appreciate what he is doing for them.
As long as they appreciate what he is doing for them, he will earn karma from them every class. If they learn something from his class and make good use of it, then it will be good for him and then.
After the class, he sent them away and told them to tell others. Then he began his own training with the sledgehammer and metal block.
The sounds of collisions rang out again and again in the yard. It rang for hours, stopping once in a while before resuming.
Now that he is using the advanced version of the mana techniques, each time he strikes the metal block, he has to not only use the recoil to ignite all the strength in his body, but he has to use some of that recoil for himself.
By using some of the recoil for himself, he can amplify his power. The cost of this greater power is that it places a greater burden on his body.
At least with his own strength, he can control it well, and the only source of stress is the recoil from smashing the sledgehammer into the metal block.
But using the advanced fighting technique causes his body to bear a strength that is greater than his and also bear a bigger recoil. After all, the greater the action, the greater the opposite reaction will be.
This increase in the quantity of the stress also causes the nature of the stress to change.
The basic fighting technique only pushes the body to reach its full potential. Every inch of the body is coaxed into producing power for the body to use.
This is tiring and causes every part of the body to be sore as the muscles all over the body are exercised. This is painful, but the stress of the advanced technique is more serious.
The advanced technique causes the body to bear a power that it can't produce. So the muscles of the body quickly reach their limit and go beyond it in no time.
If the exercise doesn't stop there, the muscles will begin to tear. This tear is damage to the muscle fibers. It is painful and can have negative effects if not managed well.
If the posture and movement during the exercise are wrong, the tear will affect tendons and ligaments. They could be damaged, which will cripple the body.
This is where the movement technique comes in. It ensures that movement is smooth and efficient. It ensures that practicing the fighting technique doesn't damage the body.
As for the damage to the muscles and the rapid depletion of stamina caused by practicing the fighting technique, the breathing technique will help to alleviate, if not solve, it.
