Chapter 289: Bloodline (5)
Sun Tzu, who dominated the Spring and Autumn period, said:
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles without peril.
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles without danger. Know yourself but not your enemy, and you will win one and lose one. Neither know your enemy nor yourself, and you will be in danger in every battle.
This famous saying from Sun Tzu’s Art of War perfectly matched my current situation.
Since I hadn’t grasped what level I had reached, there was no way I could exert my true strength.
But not anymore.
The moment I realized where I stood, my dantian expanded dramatically.
The limit he had unconsciously imposed upon himself was lifted.
As a result, the energy accumulated throughout his body’s meridians surged into his dantian. Moreover, the two types of inner energy stored in a corner of his body were replaced by this energy.
A perfect absorption, not a single grain of energy wasted.
Now I possessed vast and pure internal energy unmatched by anyone under heaven.
My body underwent changes as well.
My already incredibly resilient energy channels had strengthened even further.
If my previous energy channels were like plastic straws, they had now become stainless steel straws.
Bones composed of calcium now possessed strength akin to steel, while muscles and skin, made of water and protein, had become as tough as any armor.
Thanks to this, it became difficult to injure my body with attacks that did not involve qi.
