Chapter 3: Practice

River, Axile Village.

Xin finally reached the location he wanted to practice at this time. The location chosen by Xin has a cool and comfortable place. Xin preferred being in this kind of location to being in the village because there were so many people walking around that it was difficult for her to concentrate on doing anything.

"Let's start by increasing the level we have." Xin said slowly, "By doing meditation, I should be able to absorb the energy around me to turn it into my strength."

Although now Xin has become a zen master. He wasn't at any level yet in the zen master world. His current body didn't have any zen energy at all that could be used to fight or use some kind of ability. Xin is required to increase his level to be able to start his training program.

The exercise program compiled by Xin requires you to have zen energy in your body. Therefore, Xin is required to reach the first level in the world of Zen masters to start his practice.

Xin quickly found a comfortable place to meditate. It didn't take long for him to find a place under a very shady blue-leaved banyan tree and then immediately sat there while looking for the best position.

"Let's start"

Xin who managed to get into a good position immediately closed his eyes.

"What's this?"

Xin, who was just about to start his practice, suddenly found something strange in his body. Different from before, Xin, who was now reborn after participating in the resurrection ceremony, could feel all the insides of his body which was something he had never felt before.

Xin found a container that was in his current body where the container was currently locked as if by something.

"...Could it be...This vessel is some kind of zen energy storage place inside my body while the key that is pulled out is an object that must be opened by me to use the vessel to store my zen energy. Does that mean as long as I unlock it, is it possible for me to go straight to level one? Maybe...I can give it a try. It's supposed to open the lock using zen energy, right?"

Xin started to focus his mind and slowly he ordered his body through his mind to start absorbing the zen energy that was around where she was right now. Gradually the zen energy in the environment around him began to gather around Xin and enter his body. Xin begins to control the zen energy towards the key.

"Cracked!..."

"Destroyed!..."

The lock cracked and then immediately shattered due to the push made by Xin using the zen energy that entered his body.

"This feeling..."

At the moment the lock is destroyed by Xin using the zen energy drawn by him from the surroundings. Xin felt very comfortable feeling. Zen energy that previously could not enter due to being blocked by the key is now slowly starting to fill the container inside Xin's body.

It took about ten minutes for Xin to fill the container he had then he opened his eyes. Xin exhaled and then a smile appeared on her face, "I didn't expect to enter the first level so easily. You only need to open the key then you get the shelter container. It's just..." Xin chuckled softly, "It should only be at the start of this easy moment. The future will not be like this. I need to upgrade my container slowly and maybe as I approach the second level, there will be a barrier that I have to break to be able to increase my level."

"...But, at least this is enough for me to start the exercise program" Xin stood up from his seat, "It's better to start at this time since my amount of zen energy is still small and it's easy to control exercises with this amount of zen. Before that, let's collect the stones to use."
