After dinner and a brief rest, Ge Lihua took her three young disciples to the courtyard to practice martial arts.
Chu Xuyao, suppressing his inner gloom, showed a face full of anticipation. "Master, are we practicing lightness skills tonight?"
Ge Lihua nodded seriously. "Before practicing lightness skills, you need to feel your inner strength. Without sensing it, you can't practice these skills."
"Inner strength?" Chu Xuyuan said excitedly. "Is it like an extra energy in the body? I'm not sure how to describe it, but I can always feel it when I'm asleep."
Ge Lihua's cool eyes flashed with surprise. "You can feel inner strength in your sleep?"
Chu Xuyuan scratched his head, saying uncertainly, "Master, I don't know what inner strength is."
Ge Lihua then explained in detail what inner strength was. "Do you understand now?"
