Mark swapped the abilities, he was curious as to how a prodigy progress.
The Ki it simply became easier to refine in himself. The concept's of martial arts became clearer, the method he used suddenly seemed inefficient.
If the mind guides Ki and Ki the Body, wouldn't the body effect the soul?
If he is simply emptying his mind to create a vacuum for the Ki, then no wonder it is slow.
Memories, Thoughts, Senses, Emotions, Subconscious Instead, they were blocking it.
No, it is wrong. Emptiness does not refer to a blank inactive void but rather a singular, effortless focus.
The state of Samadhi. That which bhudda's walk towards in their path to higher enlightenment.
Clear the excess thoughts, don't focus on managing the body. To truly create a functional vacuum, focus entirely on the center of the Dantain while maintaining a tranquil mental state.
That is the meaning of the The Great Soulless Mental Void Technique.
[ ] refers to Dantian. It could also refer to the emptiness between Ki as it rests in the Dantain. Focus solely upon that emptiness and delve deeper until one loses themselves in the vast nothingness.
Mark's breathing was stable, long and deep.
That common method used by the majority of third rate practitioners had simply become extraordinary.
The Ki flooded the mountain top. The wind roared as the void had decended. Yuzuki felt a chill and rushed outside. The mountain top was glowing, Ki doesn't inherently glow unless gathered in great quantities.
Mark possessed no martial arts. He could only say that he only truly understood the technique than any footwork, punch, kick or weapon art. However martial arts was never a static set of moves. It was the art of self-perfection.
Mark sat in that illusionary state of emptiness and was reborn.
He had reached the state of Total Transformation yet seemed faintly more.
Mark felt a passing enlightenment yet couldn't grasp it.
The wind had slowed yet it was still ongoing.
Mark had reached point where cultivation was autonomous. It was going at a rate that makes would make a First Rate doubt their senses.
Can he slay a member of the 7 as is.
Mark switched abilities. That clarity and and ability to make great jumps in understanding had vanished.
Great Heavy Soul Arrow, Mark took a archery stance. He didn't need to however it would help visualize the result.
A soul arrow formed, it was around the size of basketball.
He pulled back and condensed the Ki ,sharpening it to a fatal edge.
The glow had reached a voilet purple hue as its brightness reached its limits. Mark imbued the faint understanding of space he had gained upon recognizing himself.
He felt right now, in this moment he could fire a arrow that could exit this realm. He envisioned the Mount Whitney and let go.
It didn't fly, but rather tore through a worm hole at blinding speeds arriving near instantly, it effortlessly pierced a hole through the middle of the mountain and disappeared.
Mark could see it through the faintly closing tear in space. He was no longer helpless but a genuine threat.

Mark wasn't proud of this feat despite it replicating a attack from a higher murim world. He recognized it for what it was, he simply had the pieces to do so.
False Prodigy was a accurate description.Mark lacked the conviction to go further with this technique. He had no true reason to go further.
He had touched the roof of the well. Thus remains complacent, he wasn't even positive he wanted immortality.
