บท 44: New Strength

The two were just in disbelief as they looked at each other over their words, but what Raze had been through was something that only 1st stage Pagna warriors went through. Those at the Red Brigade, just like at the temple, would learn how to use Qi, and when a core was established enough, it would get rid of the impurities from one's body, allowing them to reach the first stage. This was also the requirement for one to enter the Pagna Academy, and that's why everyone coming from a clan or respectable family trained so hard to reach this stage.

"I'm at the first stage, you're saying not only have I learned to use Qi, but I'm beyond even that? How is it possible for me to have skipped so many steps?" Raze asked.

"The only thing I can think of is the Qi pill I gave you. It perhaps was far more effective than we realized, and as you said, your body was just taking a long time to heal," Kron answered.
