The Chronicle the Fenix Clan

A Siulian Technique

Zhonglei noticed the empty space in the tower's highest room. There was not the slightest decoration other than the haystack that Imam Lu used as a base to lay down the body and rest.

"This room has nothing. And you Imam Lu spent many years in this vacuum?" Zhonglei became pity to see the state of affairs in the room.

Imam Lu just smiled faintly, he said..

"You came to my place to beg for my guidance, didn't you? Why talk about a place to live, where I'm locked up and alienated like this"

Zhonglei then smiled at Imam Lu's words. He justifies in the heart. Then he asked,

"Then.. Are you going to give me a clue, in training at the Academy of the City of Temaram?

My understanding is very shallow. All the theories that the instructor taught me, I could not execute, be it battle techniques or magic techniques" Zhonglei said regretfully.

Imam Lu replied,

"It's not because you're stupid or unable to practice all the theories your coach teaches.

The reality.. Your shortcomings are only one. You cannot gather energy or what we call Eve shulam circulating in the air of this Continent, then process that shulam energy into energy that can perform sword techniques or order magic energy to do your wish according to the spell"

Imam Lu was silent for a moment. Zhonglei kept silent. He tried to digest the words spoken by Imam Lu, but some of the words he did not understand. Understand, Zhonglei is still a child. Said..

"You can sit as I do now" said Imam Lu. He was sitting in a position to gather the flow of Shulam energy, with a position that is often called the Lotus Position by sorcerers and swordsmen.

Zhonglei immediately sat down in the form of a lotus, and Imam Lu only watched closely.

"Your thin body makes it easier for you to do the lotus position. Now I will teach us the breathing technique or what we call cultivation"

"Cultivation? What'sthat?" ask Zhonglei astonished.

"This cultivating technique is actually a method or training to cultivate the energy that exists in this world. In our Continent all that energy is called Shulam energy.

So when you practice breathing in the lotus position like this, the relaxation process will be achieved, so you can expect the amount of shulam energy to be stored in the energy center in your center, which is then used to do sword practice or magic practice.

With the energy in your energy center a lot, as a supporting expert who has the element of wood like you, will make your profession easier if you become an alchemist or healer/healer" obviously Imam Lu.

Zhonglei shone at the explanation..

"I am willing to learn the Siulian Technique for your breathing Imam Lu" Zhonglei then bowed and called Imam Lu with the designation Master (sometimes people call this Siulian by cultivation)

The rush of Imam Lu guided Zhonglei to his feet. He said,

"I won't be your master or teacher.

Your teacher is still a teacher at the magic academy. If you build a relationship with me, I fear that your life will be difficult" said Imam Lu. He continued..

"So the relationship between the two of us is just a casual acquaintance. And you will still call me Imam Lu"

Zhonglei eventually surrendered. He said a lot of thanks, though,

"Then allow Zhonglei to kneel in honor of your kindness"

Zhonglei then knelt down, he worshipped Imam Lu three times. Satisfied with the manners the boy showed, Ima Lu then said.

An empty heart, making the head feel light. Clear mind, awaken Shulam energy, vigorously cultivate Yang energy of the body, shutting off the Ying energy of the body"

"Now repeat those words, do not move, think about all the meanings and try to do the following way of breathing" Imam Lu pointed out the Siulian technique that Zhonglei followed.

Zhonglei tried hard to keep him concentrated and not to become crumpled. Not long after that the boy fell asleep. Zhonglei fell into a deep sleep on top of the tall tower, without wearing the thick clothing where the cold wind blew into the room.

But strangely Zhong Lei was not at all bothered by the wind and cold air. He fell asleep and woke up when a cock crowed the sign of dawn was approaching.

Shamefully Zhonglei looked at Imam Lu and said,

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep like that"

Imam Lu simply replied,

"It's okay. A little more the sun will rise, and all will be bright.

I didn't want the entire Academy to be in a frenzy, when the head of the dorm announced one of the students had gone missing.

Go home, go back to the Academy. Tomorrow night I'll have you here as usual"

Zhonglei followed the instructions given by Imam Lu. The boy rushed back to the academy, and started his day as usual. Together breakfast with his friends, drink a liquid vegetable juice is tasteless, then fresh but full of nutrition every morning.

Zhonglei has been going back and forth from the bedroom in the academy to the restroom where Imam Lu was held captive for more than three months.

Slowly a noticeable change was seen in the completion of the Zhonglei academy. The Aragoroth coach was silent when he saw Zhonglei complete ten rounds of field training with two water-filled jars.

Now he carries the water-filled jars in ten rounds, with 90 pieces of water remaining.

"You are diligent, and the result of your perseverance is sweet" said Coach Aragoroth.

Nevertheless, Zhonglei had not yet been allowed to wield a weapon, whatever it was because it was considered that he had not been enough to practice the Demaram Bianglala Sword Technique.

"You still have to practice the techniques of self-ease and sword control first"

The coach of Aragoroth then gave a weight of iron encircling the two legs of Zhonglei, each leg weighing twenty catties, and in both hands also a load weighing ten catties each.

"This will help you feel lighter and more agile, when the training ends"

from that day on Zhonglei never let go of the burden on his feet wherever he went. Two days he did not visit Imam Lu, for he was still adjusting to the burden in his hands.

On the third day he crawled through the ridge, and stood under the tower calling out to Imam Lu, who then tied his body up and dragged the little boy up into the isolation room above the tower.

"Lucky you've been practicing the Siulian technique for a few months. So even though the load on your legs and hands is so heavy, you can still make a movement because outside of your consciousness Shulam energy is rushing from the Energy Center in your abdomen, he said, helping to make that burden less unsettling to you"

Zhonglei returned to his original routine, came to Imam Lu's room and practiced Siulian. The next day he returned with his initial happiness as a student of the magic academy.
