"Then listen carefully, first of all, you can't tell anyone what I said today."

Hearing him say that, Ji Feng cautiously asked, "Can I tell my sister?"

“I mean you can’t just tell anyone, understand?” Su Yi emphasized the word “just” and said, “It means you shouldn’t show off to everyone. Practicing kung fu requires composure. Remember, this is for self-cultivation, not for showing off.”

Seeing Ji Feng nodding vigorously, Su Yi continued, "Secondly, you must not use the kung fu I taught you to do evil, and you must not fight or be violent. In other words, you must not use kung fu to deal with ordinary people unless absolutely necessary." Su Yi continued.

"Are these the only two, Master?" Seeing that Su Yi remained silent, Ji Feng asked, "What about acts of heroism?"

Su Yi rolled his eyes at him helplessly and said, "Of course it's okay to do something righteous, but you also need to be careful not to overdo it. First, consider whether it's necessary to use your skills. That's up to you to figure out."

“Okay, Master, I’m sure I can do it. Now start teaching me.” Ji Feng said impatiently.

"Let me make this clear first: if you break my word and use the skills I teach you to do bad things, don't blame me for cleaning up your house." Su Yi reminded Ji Feng first, and then said, "What I'm going to teach you is a mental technique, but before you learn this technique, you must first learn a set of movements. Watch carefully, I'll demonstrate it for you."

Su Yi walked to the open space next to him and gestured for Ji Feng to watch carefully. Then he demonstrated a set of movements for him. This set of movements was a contortionist style similar to yoga, with many of the movements being highly difficult and requiring extremely strong joint flexibility. Su Yi admitted that if he were still the same person before his transformation, he certainly wouldn't have been able to do it so easily.

"Master, this is too difficult." Ji Feng said, feeling a little weak, after seeing the movements Su Yi demonstrated, which completely challenged the limits of human joints and muscles.

"This is something you have to learn. Learning kung fu definitely requires hard work. If you can't do it, you should give up as soon as possible."

Hearing Su Yi say that, Ji Feng was afraid that he would stop teaching him, so he quickly said, "I can do it, I can endure hardship." However, thinking about Su Yi's terrifying actions just now, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Would his body be disassembled into parts if he did that?

"From now on, you must do this set of movements every morning and evening until you can feel a warm current flowing through your body as you perform these movements. Only then can you begin learning the mental cultivation method. Of course, even after you learn the mental cultivation method, you cannot abandon this set of movements; you need to practice both simultaneously. Remember, at first you may feel a warm current while performing some movements, but you must feel a warm current when you perform all the movements before you can begin practicing the mental cultivation method. When that time comes, come and let me check, and I will continue teaching you the mental cultivation method."

"But these movements are really difficult. I'm afraid I can't do them. Master, you are amazing. You can even do those twisted movements. How are your joints so flexible?"

“Although you are not as strong as you used to be, you can still do it if you try your best. I will now help you do these movements one by one. There are eighteen movements in total. Let’s do the first one now.” Su Yi said, walking to Ji Feng’s side and starting to help him with the movements one by one.

Even the first and easiest move was a mess for Ji Feng; his movements were all jumbled and off when he tried to do it himself. Su Yi had to guide him step by step to get the move right.

"Master, it hurts, ah..." Ji Feng's face was covered in cold sweat as Su Yi forcibly twisted his joints, but Su Yi's hands were like iron clamps gripping his hands and feet, making it impossible for him to break free. He could only be forced to perform one movement after another.

Then, from Su Yi's house came a series of pig-like screams, from the initial shrill cries to heart-wrenching screams to... a powerless hoarseness...

"Alright, that's barely enough to meet the requirements. Now do it a few more times to solidify it, otherwise I'll have to help you do it again next time." When Su Yi had Ji Feng complete each movement to the required standard, the poor guy was already lying weakly on the ground, his clothes soaked with cold sweat as if he had just come out of a sauna.

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, weakly saying, "Master, can I rest a little longer...? My whole body feels like it's falling apart. Can you take a look at me and make sure I'm still whole?"

Su Yi chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, which resulted in another groan from Ji Feng.

"Get up quickly and do it one more time. You don't want to suffer the same pain again tomorrow, do you? If you consolidate your skills now, it will be much easier for you to do these kinds of movements in the future."

Thinking about it, Ji Feng realized Su Yi's words made a lot of sense, so he had no choice but to drag his aching body and repeat the movements several more times. Su Yi watched from the side, surprised that Ji Feng's memory was actually quite good; he only needed to correct a few mistakes before he was already doing a decent job. Of course, while Su Yi was correcting him, Ji Feng couldn't help but howl a few more times...

"Alright, that's about right. Remember, do it at least once every morning and evening. Once you can feel the warmth in all your movements, I can start teaching you the mental techniques."

At this moment, Ji Feng had already slumped onto the sofa, simply nodding and refusing to make any further movements.

Yesterday, after returning home, Su Yi was thinking about Ji Feng's problem. Actually, he had considered how to teach him from the beginning. Now that his consciousness was connected to the Kosei, he checked. Because the initial modification was only successful on those connected to the Mother Nest's brainwaves, this method was definitely no longer feasible. Moreover, the existence of the Mother Nest was Su Yi's biggest secret, and he couldn't just reveal it to anyone.

After consulting with the Kosei, Su Yi found a result that satisfied him through its search. This was data collected by the Yuga people from a relatively remote planetary civilization. The physical structure of the inhabitants of this planet was 95% similar to that of Earthlings. Most importantly, although the humans on this planet were few in number, they were extremely powerful. While their brain development hadn't reached the level of the Yuga, it was still at least 25%, much higher than that of current Earthlings. According to the data, the inhabitants of this planet, called Wuda, had physical attributes similar to humans in infancy. Their strength stemmed from the fact that the entire race universally practiced a unique mental cultivation method—the Wuda Mental Cultivation Method.

However, the effectiveness of the Wu Da mental cultivation technique, which had been modified by the Kosei ship to suit the human body structure, was slightly reduced. Even so, the effect was reduced compared to the Wu Da version; on Earth, it would still be considered abnormally powerful.

However, because of his previous initial modification experience, Su Yi was still somewhat uneasy about the Mother Nest's modifications to the cultivation method. But after being assured that this cultivation method would not harm Earthlings, he finally felt relieved and decided to teach it to Ji Feng.

Therefore, today, he taught Ji Feng the movements he had prepared to accompany the mental cultivation method. This was just the movement part; after Ji Feng practiced, Su Yi connected with the Mother Nest and confirmed everything was normal. When Ji Feng began learning the mental cultivation method, he would definitely have to come to the Mother Nest for testing.

On this day, after completing his routine training in manipulation techniques, Su Yi arrived at the school.

Today is the day of the graduation party for Class 2 of Senior Three, also known as the "farewell dinner".

Su Yi was casually dressed in a black T-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers. Since it was still early, and students who lived further away would arrive some time later, many boys went to the playground to play soccer.

It's clear that even though the college entrance exams have only been over for two or three days, everyone's complexions look much rosier, no longer the paleness of senior high school students. Everyone seems to be having a very comfortable time at home.

Su Yi used to be a key player on the class's soccer team, but in the final year, very few students still played, and he deliberately avoided contact with his classmates, so they became somewhat estranged. However, the relaxed atmosphere without pressure made everyone very excited and at ease, so after Su Yi joined in, everyone quickly cheered and shouted together again.

Su Yi's current physique is abnormally strong compared to ordinary people. Even with his deliberate attempt to keep a low profile, the opponent's goal was repeatedly breached. The goalkeeper's frustration stemmed from having to constantly run to retrieve the ball, eventually leading to an agreement for goalkeepers to take turns.

After playing for a while, Su Yi also lost interest. After all, this felt a bit like bullying someone, with no challenge whatsoever.

He then walked out of the playground and wandered around at his own pace, looking at the scenery before him. Perhaps, the scenery before him would have to endure the erosion of time for a long time to come, eventually becoming blurred and indifferent.

A group of people, mostly girls, had already gathered outside their classroom. Many of them were taking photos with cameras, and Su Yi noticed that An Jing was among them.

"Su Yi." Su Yi looked up at the voice and saw a girl named Zhang Na from his class calling him. This girl was one of the more lively girls in their class, and quite pretty, so she got along well with many people. Before the incident at Su Yi's family, Su Yi and she were also on good terms; there were even rumors among the students that Zhang Na liked him. However, Su Yi gradually distanced himself from his classmates and rarely spoke to her anymore. Today, for some reason, she took the initiative to call him, walked up to him, and said generously, "Let's take a picture together to remember this moment."

Actually, Su Yi was a good student and handsome back then. He was the most popular boy in the class and the object of many girls' secret crushes. Therefore, as a memento of their high school days, quite a few girls wanted to take a photo with him today. However, because of Su Yi's aloofness, probably only Zhang Na could openly say so.
