After Red practiced self-taught meditation, he continued his practice with Uncle Star.
Uncle Star: Hey kid, how's your meditation going? Have you noticed any improvement in your inner senses? Including your hearing?
Red: I was just about to call you for help. Yes, Uncle, I feel there's been significant improvement in my hearing and my inner senses. My soul feels like something is moving, Uncle.
Uncle Star: It feels like your sense of hearing has begun to connect with your soul, continue to develop consistently, remember to use your strength in terms of goodness, virtue, and wisdom because it is fitting that humans are able to control and master their emotional soul and inner senses in positive things. If you can master and control your emotional soul in the form of your soul energy, then you will see what color your soul is.
Red: Okay uncle, I understand the message you conveyed to me, I want to ask you a question. Uncle Star: Okay son, what do you want to ask? Red: I want to ask you, uncle, what is your inner sense power, uncle? And what is the color of your soul, uncle?
Uncle Star: Hahahaha~ so you want to ask about that, okay uncle will answer your question, because I think it's right, but uncle can't convey this completely to you at the age of 5, you will soon be 6 years old, uncle's inner sense power that uncle has mastered and can control, there are 3 uncle's strengths as a human, namely sharp hearing like you,Vision in darkness and long distances may be too far and the Sense of Smell then the color of the soul or uncle's soul is white or can be said to be yell
After completing his self taught meditation, Red continued his training together with Uncle Star.
Uncle Star looked at him and asked, "Hey kid, how is your meditation going? Have you noticed any improvement in your inner senses, including your hearing?"
Red responded immediately, as if he had been waiting for the question. "I was just about to call you, Uncle. Yes, I feel a significant improvement in my hearing and inner senses. It feels like something inside my soul is beginning to move."
Uncle Star nodded with satisfaction. "It seems your sense of hearing has started to connect with your soul. Continue developing it consistently. Remember to use your strength for goodness, virtue, and wisdom. Humans must be able to control and master their emotional soul and inner senses for positive purposes. If you succeed in controlling your soul energy, you will eventually see what color your soul truly is."
Red listened carefully before speaking again. "Okay, Uncle. I understand what you've told me. But I want to ask something."
"Go ahead, son. What do you want to ask?" Uncle Star replied.
Red hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What is your inner sensory power, Uncle? And… what is the color of your soul?"
Uncle Star laughed softly. "Hahaha… so that's what you want to know. Alright, I will answer you. But I cannot explain everything in full to a child who is only five years old and will soon be six."
He then continued, "The inner sensory abilities I have mastered consist of three things: enhanced hearing like yours, vision that allows me to see in darkness and at long distances, and an enhanced sense of smell. As for my soul… its color is white, or you could say yellow representing light. It means I am obliged to protect those in need, offering kindness and wisdom. The essence of my soul is purity and enlightenment."
Uncle Star paused before adding, "However, this topic is very broad, son. I can only explain this much for now. When you grow older, come back and ask me again."
Red nodded respectfully. "Okay, Uncle. Thank you very much for answering my questions. When I grow up, I want to learn more about all of this from you."
Uncle Star smiled warmly. "You can learn from anyone, anywhere, and at any time. But never forget what I have told you it might help you one day."
"Understood, Uncle. I will remember everything," Red replied.
"Good," Uncle Star said. "Now, let's continue your training starting with self defense."
"Yes, Uncle. Let's begin," Red answered confidently.
Before training, Uncle Star instructed him to warm up first, as Red had earned additional points for successfully meditating earlier, indicating a calm and stable soul.
Red completed his warm up for fifteen minutes.
"How was your warm-up, kid?" Uncle Star asked.
"It feels solid, Uncle. I'm ready to continue training," Red replied.
"Good. Now we continue," Uncle Star said firmly. "Run around the house for fifteen minutes while maintaining steady breathing and hearing control."
Red obeyed immediately and began running.
As he trained, Uncle Star encouraged him from afar. "Come on, kid! You've been running for ten minutes. Five more to go! Focus on your breathing and your hearing. When you finish, come straight to the kitchen."
"Yes, Uncle!" Red replied while continuing his run.
After completing the fifteen-minute training, Red returned to the kitchen.
"Hi Uncle, I've finished the warm-up. What were you doing in the kitchen?" Red asked.
"I was just preparing some snacks," Uncle Star replied casually. "Good job. Now we continue training."
Uncle Star then gave new instructions. "Listen carefully. I will go toward the edge of the forest. Stay here in the kitchen. I will shout, and when you hear my voice, respond or come directly to me."
Without waiting, Uncle Star left and disappeared into the forest.
A moment later, his voice echoed from afar. "Red… Red… Red… If you hear me, come to me!"
Red closed his eyes and focused deeply. "Focus… focus…"
Gradually, he began to sense the direction of the voice, even though it was still faint. Slowly but surely, he pinpointed Uncle Star's location.
"I found it…" Red whispered before running toward the forest.
After ten minutes, he arrived near the river.
"I found you, Uncle!" Red called out.
But there was no response.
"Uncle…? Why are you silent?" he said in confusion.
Suddenly, what appeared before him was not Uncle Star's real body, but a shadow-like manifestation of him. It attacked Red without warning.
Startled, Red instinctively dodged several strikes. "Uncle! Why are you attacking me? It's me, Red!"
He continued to evade, unaware that it was only an illusion. Eventually, he retreated, believing something had gone wrong.
"That was really Uncle… Why would he attack me?" Red muttered anxiously. "I should return. Maybe he already went home."
When he returned, Uncle Star was already there, smiling calmly.
"Hey kid, why did you come back?" Uncle Star asked.
Red's voice rose in frustration. "UNCLE… YOU WERE HERE THE WHOLE TIME WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU?!"
Uncle Star chuckled. "Hahaha… relax, kid. It was just a small test. I was observing your potential through a shadow technique. Don't take it personally."
He continued, "One day, you'll understand the meaning of this training. For now, just remember: always stay alert to yourself, to others, and to your surroundings."
Red sighed but calmed down. "Alright… I understand, Uncle. I forgive you. But please cook something for me I've been running and escaping from your 'fake' version."
Uncle Star laughed. "Hahaha… calling it fake now, huh? Fine, I'll cook something. But nothing heavy I'm still in training mode too."
"Understood, Uncle," Red replied.
