In Chen Ku's courtyard.
It was like that night at Crocodile Bay several months ago; his clothes shed from his body.
Chen Ku's form gradually shifted, and he became a two-foot-tall little ape.
Silver fur, red face, tailless, with black hands and feet.
This was the Spirit Ape.
Sitting cross-legged on the kang like a small person, he closed his eyes and breathed naturally, a special respiratory frequency emanating from him...
"This is Spirit Monkey Breathing! The true essence of organizing Force Power throughout the body!" Chen Ku exclaimed, marveling at his new state. The apprentices and masters of Medicine King Hall in previous generations had only observed apes to practice. None had directly transformed into a Spirit Ape like Chen Ku, who thus experienced a deeper and more mysterious essence within the breathing technique.
