Time flies, and Feilbolai has unknowingly been training in Elysium Tower for over twenty days.
During these twenty days, Master Kangqiao has not appeared even once, and every day he has been accompanied by the Wanderer to practice at Tower Spitze.
As the month-long vacation is about to end and Feilbolai is set to return to school, his desire to see the Grandmaster again grows stronger. After finishing his training one day, Feilbolai couldn't help but complain to the Wanderer: "Master Kangqiao is a fraud. He promised he would personally teach me martial arts, but he hasn't shown up for over twenty days. This is really unbecoming of his status."
As soon as Feilbolai finished speaking, Fei Er Kang Qiao stepped out and appeared before him, sternly saying, "Who is talking bad about me behind my back?"
Seeing the elder, the Wanderer quickly bowed respectfully, but Feilbolai, not understanding the etiquette, looked up and said, "I said it; that's just the way it is."
Master Kangqiao smiled helplessly and turned to the Wanderer, saying, "You can go now; I'll call you if I need you."
The Wanderer complied and left Tower Spitze. Only the old man and the young man remained inside.
At this moment, Master Kangqiao's expression softened a bit as he slowly said, "You remind me a bit of my younger self—this is something you don't share with your father, who always hesitates in everything he does. Your boldness suits my character."
Upon hearing this, Feilbolai grinned proudly and replied, "Then when will you teach me martial arts, Grandmaster?"
Master Kangqiao's expression turned serious as he said, "Don't call me grandpa; I'm not that old yet."
Feilbolai then asked, "What should I call you then?"
"Call me Kangqiao like your father does."
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate? I'm still young, my bones are even stronger than yours. If you keep calling me grandpa, I won't teach you martial arts."
Feilbolai hesitated and pouted a bit, but quickly responded, "Alright then, I'll just call you Master Kangqiao in my heart, and save two words by calling you Grandmaster out loud. Grandmaster sounds prestigious and doesn’t make you seem old." Changing the subject, Feilbolai hurriedly urged, "Grandmaster, it's time to fulfill your promise. When will you teach me martial arts?"
Kangqiao shook his head with a helpless smile, realizing that this kid had a higher emotional intelligence than he had imagined. He then said slowly, "Then today I'll teach you a few moves."
Upon hearing this, Feilbolai couldn't hide his joy and laughed. However, Master Kangqiao's expression turned serious as he asked him, "Do you know the origin and function of the Elysian Spire?"
Feilbolai shook his head.
Kangqiao Elder continued, "To practice martial arts well, you first need to understand the origin and function of the Elysian Spire. Let me start with its origin. On Mars, where we live, there are two energy gathering sites: one is located on Ghost Star Mountain at Mars Alliance School, and the other is Elysium Planitia. Both of these energy gathering sites have a Golden Tower built to collect energy."
Feilbolai asked, "I've been at Mars Alliance School for a few years; how come I've never heard of a Golden Tower on that mountain next to the school?"
Master Kangqiao replied, "That's because you're uninformed. That Golden Tower is even more magnificent than ours in Elysium. The Tower Spitze of that Golden Tower is a huge metallic dome that shines brightly from afar. This Golden Tower absorbs energy from the sky and is said to have a very strong energy gathering capability. In contrast, the Elysian Spire gathers energy from underground. Because there is immense energy hidden underground in Elysium Planitia, our Golden Tower is designed to absorb underground energy; their functions are similar. As long as you are fortunate enough to practice inside this Golden Tower, it will increase your internal energy and open up both your tangible and intangible meridians."
Feilbolai asked in confusion, "How can there be intangible meridians in the human body?"
Master Kangqiao answered, "The intangible meridians in the human body cannot be seen by the naked eye of an ordinary person. Moreover, ordinary people themselves do not have any energy within them to speak of intangibility. These intangible meridians only become apparent after you cultivate internal skills for some time. When you first came to the Golden Tower, your intangible meridians were almost nonexistent; there was no visible energy aura around you. Through your more than twenty days of training in the Golden Tower, they have started to take shape now. This is the effect of your cultivation in the Golden Tower."
Feilbolai continued to ask, "I’ve also practiced for quite some time in the Golden Tower at Mars Alliance School but haven’t seen the effects you mentioned."
Master Kangqiao smiled and said, "The Golden Tower of Mars Alliance School is mainly for students to learn. Its energy gathering capability is too weak. However, having it is better than not having it at all."
Feilbolai understood, "Oh, I see."
Master Kangqiao continued, "What I just mentioned about the Golden Tower's function is only in relation to practitioners. It has many functions that you cannot imagine, such as light communication, the Time Tunnel, and quantum conversion—all of which rely on the Golden Tower. You could say that the Elysian Spire is a core secret of the Fair Tribe. If it weren't for your father's handwritten letter, I would have certainly expelled you; you wouldn't be able to stay in this Golden Tower."
Feilbolai asked in confusion, "What? The Golden Tower is related to quantum as well?"
Master Kangqiao explained, "To put it simply, we Martian beings are carbon-based life forms that rely on breathing air and consuming food to sustain life. However, if you have already gathered immense energy within you, air and food only serve as auxiliary support; you can survive without relying on them and do not need to depend on your physical form. Your soul can attach itself to any tangible or intangible entity, drawing upon your own powerful energy to absorb other energies for survival. If you can cultivate to this level, you will be able to survive long-term in the vast universe. Of course, reaching this point requires your long-term and arduous cultivation."
Feilbolai was astonished to learn that one could survive without air and food. It seemed he needed to work hard on his cultivation to reach the level Master Kangqiao described.
Feilbolai asked, "How many years of cultivation does it take to survive solely on energy?"
Master Kangqiao replied, "That depends on your own fortune. Without further ado, today I will teach you a set of Fair Fist techniques; this will cover the basic routines. If you want to improve your punching speed and attack power, it all depends on your future self-cultivation. As the saying goes: 'The master leads you to the door; the practice is up to you.'" After saying this, Master Kangqiao began demonstrating punches—
One could see Master Kangqiao's punches were as fast as lightning, with wind swirling around his feet, exuding a powerful aura as he moved fluidly through leaps and jumps in a seamless manner, leaving Feilbolai dazzled and secretly impressed. After finishing a set of punches, Master Kangqiao showed no signs of fatigue or breathlessness, demonstrating his high internal strength. Then Master Kangqiao began demonstrating at a slower pace while Feilbolai followed along with the movements.
