782 Second stage of Qi (2/2)
'The second stage of Qi, was this what Lucy was using on her weapon. Is that what happened, when she cut Peter? Her own Qi was the force I could see, the casting around the sword having attached itself to Peter, making it impossible for him to heal.”
After the explanation was done, it was time for the demonstrations, and surprisingly Chris was quite the gifted teacher. He would press his hand against Quinn's backs and sense what he was doing with the Qi. Whenever Quinn would do something wrong or stray, Chris was able to correct him.
A few times, the other energy inside Quinn tried to attack Chris, but if it ever did infect him, then he would do what he had done before, getting rid of the Qi. Quinn had asked if he could do the same with the second stage, but apparently, what he was doing was more inclined with Qi's third stage.
Still, Chris said he shouldn't even think about learning the third stage until he had mastered the second stage. Although many could learn the second stage, the third was a little different. He didn't go further with explanations other than that.
After a couple of days of hard work together, Quinn had finally shown some progress, and the two of them were getting on quite well. When talking, both of them would avoid questions about each other's past, and they seemed to respect that.
Why should one tell them about the other, if the other was keeping secrets, and soon they learnt to respect each other.
Finally, after Quinn had successfully coated his gauntlets in Qi, he was ready on the third day.
”I knew you were good.” Chris said. ”To learn this in three days, I mean I guess we had nothing else to do, and I am a great teacher. ”
It was true; without Chris, Quinn would have never been creative enough to figure out any of this independently.
”What now, the third stage?” Quinn asked.
Chris shook his head, like Quinn was a fool for asking such a question.
”Knowing how to use the second stage while standing still, and knowing how to use it in a fight are two different things.” Chris picked up his weapons and went to walk out of the cave, while Quinn followed.
They went to a certain area that had many broken tree's and craters in the ground. It looked like a bomb had gone off in the area and completely cleared all the jungle and greenery.
”ARGHHHH!!” Chris shouted at the top of his lungs. The shout itself was amplified with Qi, and bird-like beasts flew in the air from a distance.
Soon, the sound of large footsteps was heading their way. Chris went off to the side and sat down crossed-legged on the floors, and started to eat an apple again.
”Show me what you learnt, my great disciple.” Chris said.
When the loud footsteps grew closer, a large beast had jumped into the area they were in, shaking the ground as it landed. Using his Inspect skill, Quinn could see it.
