Synopsis

The chapter details the monks' rigorous training, including muscle lengthening exercises, led by Mu Yul, and morning training with sand pouches. Mu Jin surprises everyone by demonstrating the energy accumulation art, a technique usually achieved after much practice, which he seemingly mastered quickly. It's revealed that Mu Jin's family's breathing techniques may have helped and he explains he was simply "trying things out". This display earns Mu Jin further recognition, while the group also learns about the efficacy of the muscle lengthening technique.
