But right now, Li Pan really couldn't control the vigorous energy within his body, unable to achieve the realm of releasing and retracting it at will, with movements that followed his heart's desire. He tried to swing his palm down to slap the floor; sometimes it would make his hand throb with pain, but sometimes he could crush bricks and stone like tofu, even leaving a shallow palm print on a steel plate. Although he couldn't control the force, this energy was certainly real.
"Damn... who would've thought Inner Strength is actually real..."
What surprised Li Pan even more was that when he tried to calm his qi in parallel, deeply regulating his breath, trying to enter the state of meditation he had reached last night, he succeeded on the first try!
