'Heart Fire... I failed again.'
Inside the training room, Xu Wuyi slowly opened his eyes and sighed to himself.
No matter how many times he tried to circulate his Qi and Blood and concentrate his Spirit according to the Technique, the so-called "Heart Fire" remained elusive, impossible to truly ignite.
He felt as if an invisible membrane separated his Spirit from his Qi and Blood.
He could sense them both, yet they could never merge perfectly to reach the critical point of "Intention and Qi Integration" and ignite the Heart Fire.
Xu Wuyi exhaled a long, turbid breath tinged with heat, his brow furrowed in thought.
He walked over to the side, sat down, and drank a Nutrient Liquid to replenish his energy.
His gaze swept over the light screen in the training room that displayed the date: August 28th.
There were only three days left until the deadline for the "Freshman Challenge."
