On the other hand, inside the Wutan city,
One of the courtyard houses,
Shen Yue was arranging items inside, and Shen Han was helping her, while they didn't notice their baby lying on the bed was looking at them with a thoughtful look on his little chubby face. Anyone would notice if they observed his expression; it doesn't match his current age.
He is none other than Eero, who reincarnated in this dimension as a newborn baby.
'My name in this dimension is also Yi, Shen Yi. It seems I have a deep relationship with this name.'
Shen Yi's thoughts drifted as he observed his parents, and then he noticed a lot of different colored particles floating around his body.
'Also, it looks like I am a genius, as I can sense the dou qi from birth. How can I practice at this age? Although my neurological system isn't developed yet, I can't waste my talent. I have to find a way.'
Another thought flickered in his mind, and then he started thinking about the ways to practice with his current few-days-old body; after a while, an idea popped up in his mind.
'Wait, I can use the force technique to strengthen my body. I know the dou disciple stage is just building the foundation by toughening the physique using dou qi.'
He observed his little body's uncoordinated and chaotic movement; because of his undeveloped neurological system, his four limbs are flying in different directions at once.
'If I can control my fingers and toes movement, then I can collect and redirect the limb force, stack it, and scatter it toward the whole body. The more my limbs move chaotically, the more I can stack the force in my whole body and pressure my bone and muscle. It will eventually end up in micro muscle and bone injury, then my body will automatically absorb dou qi and repair it, which will result in body enhancement and dou qi absorption like a cycle.'
He came up with a perfect plan in his mind.
Shen Yi was sure that his plan would work because everything on this continent is connected to dou qi. Even the physical fitness of a few-day-old child like him is higher than that of six- or seven-year-old children on an ordinary planet without any dou qi or other types of energy.
Although non-talented adult humans on this continent can't absorb dou qi, their physical fitness still rivals that of a sixth- or seventh-star dou disciple because of living in a dou qi environment for years.
Shen Yi hurriedly prepared himself and started focusing on controlling the movement of his fingers and toes, which was the first step in his plan.
…
The sun and moon cycle continued, and a few days passed.
After unremitting efforts, he could finally control the movement of his finger, but not independently; instead, he could move all his fingers and toes at once.
'Well, it's enough to redirect the force,' Shen Yi thought while lying in his mother's embrace; she was talking and playing with him. He would laugh a little looking at her, resulting in making her very happy.
After putting him down, Shen Yue left and started getting busy with homework. She was very proud of her son, who doesn't make trouble even when he is hungry; he just drinks and sleeps.
After seeing his mother isn't paying attention to him, Shen Yi started the first experiment. As his limbs started moving irregularly, he started redirecting the force back from his limbs toward his torso section.
After just two force redirections, he felt a mild pain in his joints and pressure on his chest and internal organs; he hurriedly stopped redirecting the force and released it out from all four limbs. The toes and fingers straightened because of the power flow.
'I didn't expect such pain after only two redirections; next, let's see how much time it takes to heal this pain.'
He thought and then contained his thoughts about pain and tried sleeping; soon his eyes closed and he drifted into deep sleep.
Just when he slept, the chaotic dou qi in the room drifted toward him at an alarming rate, seeping into his physique and massaging his muscles and bones gently.
A few hours later, deep at night, he opened his eyes, and a surprise flashed through his face as he didn't feel any pain and something warm and strange was flowing through his whole body and bones.
'Is this dou qi? I didn't expect my body to absorb so much on my first try.'
He thought as he observed the changes in his body, although he can't see the dou qi, but he can sense it; the dou qi in his body is warm and white without any color; it's different from the chaotic and colorful dou qi energy outside in the atmosphere.
'I remember dou disciples only absorb non-attribute dou qi because they haven't practiced any exercise; only after reaching dou practitioners can they practice exercise and give their qi cyclone an attribute.'
He thought and felt very satisfied with the result, then he glanced at his mother and father sleeping on either side of him.
'They are sleeping; I should try moving my body and controlling this dou qi. Maybe it will help me avoid the undeveloped neurological system and help me control my body fully.'
He thought and then tried to control his limb; the next moment he was surprised as he easily moved his limbs one by one, then he tried to move his upper body quietly, and the next moment he instantly sat up.
'What is happening here?'
He thought and then realized something.
'Wait, it seems I have an outrageous affinity with dou qi. There can't be any other explanation besides this for my current situation.'
He then moved his limbs and started redirecting, gathering, and stacking the force in his whole body.
'One, two, three, four, five… eight, it seems this is the limit; before, I redirected the force of only two movements.'
Shen Yi thought to himself, feeling the force of pressure build up in his body after eight movements reaching the previous level when he just redirected two movements.
Then he released all the force out through his four limbs equally and then endured the pain and slept back peacefully.
…
The next morning, the chirping of birds and the bursting noise of the crowd outside sounded in his ear.
Shen Yi's ears shook, and he opened his eyes directly.
'First Star, Dou Disciple achieved. I really didn't expect it to be so soon. It's been only a day since I started practicing, and it wasn't even called practice. It was just moving my hands and feet.'
He fell speechless after noticing the changes in his body; all the meridian passages in his tiny body are opened up by the dou qi, and even the bones, muscles, dantian, and acupuncture points are nourished, and his physical fitness increases more than ten times, rivaling that of a five- or six-year-old child.
It is the sign of reaching the first star of the Dou disciple realm.
Although he can't fully utilize his first-star strength at this age, it's outrageous for a baby like him to have such strength.
Slowly an evil smile materialized on Shen Yi's chubby face. Thankfully, his mother was busy with her housework while his father was outside the home, or they would have had a heart attack if either of them had seen such an evil expression on his face.
