"What? That's impossible!" John exclaimed with much frustration.
When using battle arts and moving Qi throughout one's body, the powerful surge of Qi naturally flowed out of a cultivator's acupoints, surging into the air as an aura. The more powerful the Qi circulating within a cultivator's body, the more powerful the aura would be as a result.
While an aura was technically a sign of wasted Qi, there was not much that could be done about it. For all cultivators, the Qi surging through their body was powerful to a point that trying to contain it all was a waste. Not only would it require more attention to ensure no Qi escaped from their acupoints, it would also increase the attention, or soul-power, needed towards balancing their internal Qi.
