Chapter 4 - Fetus [More wuxia shit]

I always read at 200% zoomed in with the theme on dark, makes the chapter longer, I don't have to squint and the "dark" theme makes it easier to get immersed.

(Find the option to change theme at the botom of the web page)

The time passed from when power surged from my head and heart, to getting a message saying [Dantian unlocked], was only around five seconds. However they were a very eventful five seconds.

Many good things happened in those five seconds.

The first one was:

When Tenketsu were forming on my meridians, they each came with the same seal like blocakage that I had arond my dantian, yet the poweres from HH (heart and head) completely bypassed them.

No, more like went through them. Each one of the blockages are now more sturdy than before but they no longer block the meridian path itself, only the tiny hole that lets chakra out.

I'll have to clear them later. Second good thing was when the HH powers slamed into my sealed dantian.

If I was a normal baby the seal blokage around the dantian would be left untouched. The HH powers would just barely clear away the blockage and dissapate after it used up its energy. However; I had already grined away half of the seal already so the HH energy only had to use hlaf of its energy to clear away the blockage. What hapened next was like oil meeting fire; fire being my chackra and oil being the HH power.

As soon as the HH power touched my chackra it was instantly dyed blue and I got the:

+2 Chakra

After that all my chakra was pulled towards the tenketsu poin in the middle of my dantian, as if drawn in by gravity. The chakra instantly disappeared into it and I felt it pulse throung my chakra network itslef, not through the chakra network but the chakra network itself.

The chakra in the network was once again drawn to dantian tenketsu (temp name) and pooled into my dantian, this time in an even greater quatitiy.

[Dantian unlocked] +2 Chakra

Vitality Unlocked

+1 Vitality ...Welp thats what happened.

All in 5 seconds.

I really need to meditate this time.

Oummmmmmmmmm~

----------

Daily rotine has been altered.

Moving on.

----------

How do you deal with big changes?

You just deal with it.

Week 32. It really feels like I'm shedding my old self.

The final remains of the Lanugo have been cast off, and circulation in my body seems to have improved with the completion of the chakra network. Skeletal muscles are growing even stonger and the bones themselves are hardening even more.

The body fat I'm burning into muscle are also showing some changes; from time to time they will ripple, as if it's semi-solid, causing the spaces between each muscle fibre decreases.

This means that not only do I avoid looking like a buff monster baby, but my muscles have become more tough and exposive.

Also since it makes me slightly smaller I waste less energy keeping warm. The changes with my muscle may seem miniscule to the outside but as a 40cm long fetus; it makes a differnce. ----------

Week 33.

On Earth I could open and close my pores with each step, or play with them to the beat of music. There was no tiredness caused by opening them and it only tooka split second for them to close. Unfortunately I'm nowhere near that level. Opening my pores has a slight delay from when I will them to open to when they open, closing pores even slower. It's also very tiring and needs alot of concentration, nothing like the almost subconcious control I had over them in the past life. However it's barely at a satisfactory level for what I want to do next.

I want to clean up my waste a bit.

However I should first explain a bit about how pores affect your body.

----------

Your body is like a car underwater and your pores the door.

It's diffiult to open the doors when the car is in the water because the water pressure is sealing it closed.

There are two ways to open the doors.

The smart one is to let water into the car so that the pressure difference outside the car and inside the car is less.

Now imagine the water is Qi/Ki and the car you body. That was the old way of opening your pores, with cultivation and shit.

Unfortunately, neither me nor my teacher had mysterious inheritances from unknown "grandpas".

So we had to open the doors the stupid way.

Brute force

If the person inside is strong enough to offset the water pressure then the doors open fine no?

Do you even lift bro?

Now lets imagine the person in the car as a substance called "force" or "hidden force". You might have heard of them in wuxia novels?

Hidden force is not just something like pushing or pulling; it's an invisible and intangible substance that is cultivated through martial arts, and is only useable to those who have control over their pores.

Don't question it too much.

Hidden force is very useful, although not as much as Qi if the stories are anything to go by. It can't heal injuries by itself, you can't bind swords with it and you can't accend to immortality with it (probably).

However you can add it to your attacks to make them more devestating. If used correctly you can use them to set broken bones, and close injuries when used with the correct knowledge. I refuse to make a Jedi joke

Elementry use of force is simply circulating it around your blood stream to lessen bruises.

It can also do lots of other stuff to your body, including cleaning up your waste a bit...

----------

It's basic courtesy not to make mess or trouble for your host no?

Right now all my waste is going to mother to deal with. Not only that but because I'm always working myself to the brink in training I probably consume more than other babies.

I don't want to stop my training thus I decided that I should at least deal with my waste.

This was a technique I was taught in my past life. It might be better to call it a trick as it has no name.

My teacher said it's what martial artists developed when there was too little food to sustain their practising.

The effects are less wate = less wated food = less food needed = can continue practice.

The trick can also be used in a variaty of other situations: when a martial artist is marching to war and wants to keep their condition good, or even when a martial artist is pregnant they would somethimes use this for the benefit of the baby and mother.

I keep saying martial artist because it's a trick that only those with good control over their pores and Hidden force can use.

----------

The first part of it is a way of eating that efficiently destroys your food and turns it into enregy.

When the food reaches your gut you place hidden force onto it. I won't go into how you control force because it's a pain but anyway; you place force on the food.

As long as you don't will it the force will not disturb your food because it's intangible.

At this point you have to make sure your pores are completely closed.

Next you have to will your force to integrate with the food so that it's not on, but one with the food. Once possession of the food is complete you open you pores swiftly at the same time. This creates a vacuum like occurance and the force, as if gas, rushes to the openings (pores) without you willing it at all.

The force is already intergrated with the food. where the food goes the force goes, and where the force goes the food goes. Of corse the food can't go to the skin like the force but it will go as war as it can: slamming into the insides of your gut the food will get dispersed and broken down, good for digestion.

However if it were only that then it would be a bit disappointing no?

When the hidden force is forceably (lol) drawn to the pores it also takes a little of another intangible energy with it. It's got no name but my teacher, myself plus everyone else who sense it belive that is is something that's normally broken down through the digestive system and only shows itself as glucose or something. The intangible energy thats drawn away with the hidden force is the raw form of glucose... maybe?

Again.

Don't question it too much. That nameless energy is the core of the second part of the trick. ---------- Unlike Hidden force cultivated through hard work, this unnamed energy from food doesn't stick around for long. If you just leave it alone it will dissipate into your body as energy, rejuvenating and stimulating ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) the body slightly. Which is good and all but my aim is to eliminate waste right now. Once the unnamed energy reaches the pores with the hidden force I hold it there by closing my pores and putting hidden force and the unnamed energy into a stasis like condition. Of course little bits of the energy will dissipate but like I said it's not a bad thing. At this point you just need to hold the two intangible buddies where they are, near the skin, and wait for food to digest normally. Once all the usefull stuff has been absorbed you are left with the waste, shit and piss. This is where you use the unnamed energy. You can't move the unnamed energy by it's self so I have to push and pull it with Hidden force. To destroy waste you do nearly the exact oposite of step 1. I first open my pores, slowly so as not to create suction. I decide on where I want to destroy, piss or shit. Just like how I moved the hidden force onto the food in part one I slowly move the hidden force and unnamed energy towards a destination. Once the hidden force and energy are moving I slam close my pores much like I flinged them open in the first stage. Slamming close my pores create an effect like breathing out, exept inside. If that makes any sense at all. The slamming close of the pores give the slow moving energies the push they need and they hit the waste. Hidden foce will break the waste up a bit but the real stuff happens when the unnamed raw energy hits the waste; it's like some sort of chemical reaction, both the unnamed energy and whatever waste it turn into something like pure energy that gets sucked up by the body. The pure energy is much like the unnamed energy except it cannot be touched or guided, not even with hidden energy. But the effects of the pure energy on the body is simmilar to unnamed energy, maybe slightly less. However the biggest benefit to me and my mother right now is not the pure energy but the decrease is waste. On Earth I could decrease waste by at least 80%, sometimes even as much as 90%. Although I'm no where near that level I converted a lot more waste than I thought I would: about 10% - 15%, which is good for a first try. My first try on Earth resulted in only a mere 5% decrease in waste. I think it's easier playing with hidden force and the like in the womb because I'm completely supported, most likely I'll have to retrain myself a bit in the cot. But that's for the future. Right now I should be editing my daily shedule Havn't done this in a while... Oummmmmm~ ---------- Week 34 More twitching and urges. First it was my lungs then movement, hicups, hearing and now my eyes this time. Did they twitch a bit before? That was just me seeing light I think. Whatever. Eyes occasionally open and close without me willing it. Honestly I don't know how far ahead I am in development anymore. Opening and closing eyes is soooo week 30. I think I'm pumpkin sized. ---------- Week 35 At this point I could be birthed early with little to no long term problems. I am rapidly gaining fat, and just as rapidly converting it into muscle. I was slightly worried that I would become buff baby but the muscles are condensing more often and show signs of a quantitative change. I'm not too worried. With around five weeks untill normal babies are born my head is gradually rotating downwards towards the birth canal. Things are starting to feel real... I need to meditate, no use panicing now. Oummmmmm~ ---------- Week 36 My bones have been storing calcium have become even stronger, the bones on my head are not fully fused to allow flexibility during birth. I should be happy my bones are becoming stronger still, however no matter how stong they are they can't defend me from the hurt of being abandoned. I don't want to be hated... Did I over do it? Did I hurt my mother with my training? My emotions are jumping. Maybe because my birth is close my legs are starting to kick more and I'm running out of room in the womb. But I can't help but see it as me being nervous. I know it's illogical. Hating my nervousness. Beating myself up over it. Telling myself it's illogical. It's a vicious cycle. It's claustrophobic It's scary. I can't even meditate. My legs feel week even though ther're kicking. Stop. Stop Please stop... ---------- Week 37 I am full term. I'm scared I can feel it. I'm scared I will be born soon. I'm scared I relised for the first time how small I. I'm scared.
