From a pugilist to a boxing master, and then from a boxing master to a fighter, there exists a stage of promotion within the Secret Martial Club, hence the appearance of the bottleneck.
If a peak pugilist wants to advance further, they must break through their own human limits to become a boxing master. Similarly, a boxing master must break through their limits, sensing and manipulating their Qi to become a fighter.
This process varies from person to person. Some people can never break through the bottleneck in their lifetime, while others can surpass their limits in just a few months. But what is universally true is that breaking through the bottleneck requires an opportunity, falling into a state of insight.
Casio had sensed this opportunity once before, familiarity breeding greater understanding. He got directly off the patient bed, sitting cross-legged in a quiet and cool corner of the room.
After three deep breaths, his entire body's muscles relaxed completely.
