The next morning, Chenfeng Yue and Jason Yue drove Andy to a mountain.
They parked the car outside the forest and walked inside the forest. After walking for some time they came in front of a cave.
Jason Yue explained to Andy, "this is the place where your Grandfather then I, practiced. Nobody in the family knows about this place expect Us". Andy Yue was fascinated but then a question came in his mind, "Dad !, Grandfather ! ,why three of us ? what about Sonny ? doesn't he practice too ? "
Chenfeng Yue replied, "no, he left his practice before he came here. He was supposed to be the next genius of the family but then your dad needed a helping hand in business. So , Sonny knowingly left practice and indulged in business, he suggested us to cultivate you so that in future you two can lead the business and you will be the genius in the family. ".
Andy Yue was shocked. Jason then spoke, "your brother is farsighted. He knows that you have the potential. We want your joint effort in leading the family. You two are the Future of the family ". Andy Yue was surprised and his respect for his elder brother increased.
He started practicing . He was at the begining of Qi practicing stage. After Three days of vigorous practice, He felt the accumulation of True essence in his body . This symbolized the true beginning of the essence gathering system.
At this boundary, a martial artist formed their meridians and could draw in heaven and earth origin energy through their acupoints. the energy gathered nowhere to go , the true qi or true essence will flow through the martial artist's meridians and accumulate in his Dantian.
Now to improve his cultivation, Andy Yue would need to open the dantian and constantly accumulate energy inside it.
The next two months Andy Yue practiced martial arts in the forest. He used the cave to take rest after training. He thought of nothing else, just focused on his training.
His reflexes became very quick , his instincts grew stronger. He lived in the forest , so he along with traditional martial arts training learned survival instincts and improved his hunting skills, Archery and Sword fighting.
He broke through the Qi practicing period and stepped into the Foundation Building period. He was impressed by his progress but not completely satisfied. He realized that he could Breakthrough the Foundation Building period given a few weeks but he chose not to.
Andy Yue learnt from his Grandfather that combat effectiveness is the most important in the field of martial arts.
For example, someone with a low martial arts realm but good combat effectiveness can defeat someone in a higher realm than him with low combat effectiveness. Although this is not always the case but rich combat effectiveness can put the enemy at a disadvantage.
So Andy Yue chose to hone his skills rather than making a fast break through.
Andy Yue stayed a total of four months in the forest. When he came out he was at the later stage of Foundation Building period.
He came out of the forest and found his Father waiting for him.
Jason Yue saw through his Qi fluctuation and saw that his son was in the last stage of foundation building period.
He was a little disappointed and said, "I kept a track of your training. The way you train is more vigorous than other martial artists. At this rate you should have stepped into Valley Breaking period. But you are still stuck in the last stage of foundation building period ?? is there any problem ? "
Andy Yue was calm and said, "Dad I know your concern. I have reached the threshold. If i want i can make a breakthrough. But I'll supress it for the time being. "
Jason Yue was surprised. He asked "Why ?".
Andy Yue replied, "I decided to hone my skills and improve my foundation and combat effectiveness. This process is slow but it can help me defeat an opponent in a higher realm"
Jason Yue was again Shocked. He said, "you mean...".
Andy Yue sensed his excitement and replied, "Yep, although my realm is in the last stage of foundation building period, I am confident that I can defeat an opponent upto the middle stage of valley breaking period ".
Jason Yue was overwhelmed with happiness. He looked at his son and found that his temperament was unique.
They returned to the Dragon Fortress.
