Energy training has extremely arduous methods. Even just sitting still requires a great deal of effort. Ma Lin was attempting to do something similar.
The book on energy training that Xiaoqing had given him was still useful.
He controlled his reactor to sense and explore the Origin Power, discovering various fluctuations, forces, and masses, interacting with them, approaching them, understanding them, studying them, destroying some, evading some, absorbing some.
He seemed to be able to perceive the existence of an energy universe.
Only with the reactor could he discover it.
There was an area in the energy universe that strongly repulsed him, attempting to enter it would cause physical discomfort.
But by using the disciple's training method, both his body and reactor could adapt to this uncomfortable feeling, and then he would slowly make progress.
