Ledinjin explained how he did the breathing wrong. He explained how he was simply breathing out. He needed to calm down. As he explained all this stuff how he was going to raise his power then drop his breath. He just stared. "I cannot sense Ki." He'd said bluntly as he did this. He was unsure how him doing this was going to help him. Though he still got into a stance. He'd breath in and out trying to control his powerlevel. Still, he didn't feel any different. He'd keep breathing in and out waiting for something to happen as he did what he was doing breathing in and out. He'd close his eyes trying to be as calm as possible as he tried to lower his powerlevel with this techquine Ledinjin was showing him. Hopefully, it worked.

Well, that answered the inquiry! Ledinjin sucked his lips in and frowned. His examples weren't helping him with just flaring up energy and lowering it. However, the guy did seem to be getting an idea of it.
"Alright, so you can't sense your energy or anyone else's," Ledinjin asked, which sounded more akin to a statement. He stood up and walked over to a small rock face, only about ten feet taller above them and put his hand on it. He told him, "So, we've all figured out you're stupidly strong at this point, much like myself. However, let me challenge you to something: On your first go, with what I've taught you so far, I want you to hurt your knuckles on this wall without knocking it off the mountain top. You can do this, as at one point, you weren't as strong as you are right now... You had to work up to this point!"
It was a weird way of training. Get better at being weaker. Ledinjin's training with Vicarous was meant to maximize the amount of power they were gathering by at their most minimalistic levels! Their unnamed guest had yet to realize this, and as such, he'd have a difficult time doing this.
Ledinjin tapped his knuckles on the wall, telling him, "I'll be your control. If you are too amped up, I'll block your punch for the wall. No need to cause an avalanche and endanger anyone down below us."

"Yah." He'd say to Led as he basically asked if he can't sense energy. That was what he just said after all. He wondered if the guy had cotten in his ears or something. Maybe he was old and needed a hearing aid. Ledinjin then asked him to do something. He wanted him to punch this wall without breaking it. That seemed pretty hard. Guess Ledinjin did have a point. He could not control his overflowing power at all. How could he fight anyone way weaker than him? Yanwang grunted this was going to be a challenge but he was up for it. Anything to keep him from not being bored to death. He'd raise his hands looking at the wall as he tried to think how he was going to this.
Doing a normal punch was not going to work. It'd be way too strong. Yet, he could just not throw a punch or a really light one. That was not suppressing his power. Yanwang edged closer and closer to the wall. He'd stop him if he was too amped up. He'd nod as his fist coiled back. He'd bring his arm back running at the wall. He'd swing his arm down as it'd clip the side of the wall. He thought this was a good plan. The only problem that he realized mid punch was that he'd fall and hit the ground with his fist breaking the mountain they were standing on. Hopefully, Ledinjin had this covered. He really didn't think about stopping.

Yanwang took the challenge up... Poorly. He brought his hand up and ran at the wall, aiming to clip it. The Arcosian stepped into Yanwang's space, his leg sliding in between Yanwang's as he brought his left forearm up to absorb the shock from the punch! It was certainly powerful, Ledinjin's arm pushing down a bit and the rocky ground beneath cracking around them. Vic had to leap into the air to avoid the tremor, floating above and giving the hairy guy a frown of disapproval.
Ledinjin frowned as well. Shaking his head and stepping out of Yanwang's space, "That was way too strong, guy. You're not trying to harm the mountain with this punch! I said, 'On your first go, I want you to hurt your hand on this rock face.' Hurt your hand, as in you limply punch. This was too much of a challenge, clearly, so..."
The Arcosian walked away from the rock face and to the side with a swift pause. His hand raised, he posed, "Let's go with something easier. I want you to punch my hand and not move it. I want you to envision me not moving at all as you jab... 'Be like a bird's feather,' is a phrase to apply here. You had the right idea to graze it, but you were carrying your weight far too much with that sprint before."

Ledinjin had got in the way just in time blocking his punch. He'd was surprised how strong he was but still, he had failed the challenge had been given. How else was he suppose to do it? He could not hold back. It was not his talent. He fought with everything he had. This guy wanted him to the exact opposite. Fire and Oil did not mix and this was exactly that. Yanwang looked up as Ledinjin explained he wanted him to punch his hand and not move it. Ledinjin was pretty strong but still. He wanted him to do a jab. "I guess," Yanwang said kinda bored. That was no fun at all. Yanwang grunted, he was gonna do it cause he had nothing else to do but still. He was not happy about it. He'd throw a jab forward trying not to push Ledinjin hand down still he was using his full power. He didn't know what it meant to really hold back. He was never trained and it was showing by the frustrated look on his face.

It was so clear that the hairy guy didn't wanna continue this for long. That boredom was what showing, mixing with frustration as he jab forward! Ledinjin's hand moved. He shook his head.
"You're bored and frustrated," Ledinjin spoke aloud, making the obvious clear, "I get that. In fact, boredom often times leads to your energy getting erratic! Think about nothing... Literally nothing."
He waved his hand once more. The challenge wasn't over! Vic, meanwhile, was getting impatient himself. He sat cross legged in the snow, arms crossed as well. He complained, "I don't think he's gonna learn it boss. It's like watching a mechanical limb not operate because it's wired in one little manner!"
"You took some time to learn this trick as well, last I checked," Ledinjin retorted with a smile! Vic narrowed his eyes with puffed cheeks before turning away and lying down on his side. He may as well continue enjoying the view! Vic did make a point, though. This guy was struggling to grasp what they were trying to get him to do. Perhaps he needed help loosening up?

Ledinjin knew he was bored. Not that he did a good job to hide it. Still, he didn't get the point. He didn't understand why he was still even doing this. He sucked at it. Why do things he was at? Clearly, it was not important. Yanwang crossed an arms sitting in the snow. He was going to have to listen to this now? How he doing his dumb training wrong. He told him to think of nothing. Yanwang pouted and sat there. He needed to do something. It didn't help that Vic was letting him know how much he sucked at it. Why was he bad at it. Annoyance had slowly burned into anger. His tomato skin and turned red. He opened his eyes breathing in hard. He hit his limit.
“This is so stupid.” Yanwang got to his feet huffing and puffing. He was throwing a temper tantrum. When he was strong as he was he so used to just understanding the thing. He could create anything he wanted. He could do whatever he wanted. Now without the ability to do that he had nothing. His fight tightened, his teeth clenched. That Hera thought he knew what he was talking about. He’d show him he was the bigger guy. Ki surrounded his arm it turning jet black as his Fujin bag inflated. It was filled with stone and mortar that was about to swing with all his force. He swung his bag around it suddenly weighed a Ton as he swung it down at Vic.
“I swear you think I can't do it. I don't need to do it. It's stupid. Who cares if they can sense me I'll just beat them up. I don't care if I can beat them I can run. I don't need to know how to control my Ki. I don't need or want that nonsense. I wanna learn something useful. I wanna beat the bad guys. I'll throw them right into the ground and beat them right up…” Yanwang roared out at Vic as the bag came down but something was staying his hand. He’d frown after yelling this as his energy seemed to calm down a bit. He was starting to lose steam. He was thinking of the grave. He was thinking of Koban, Nashi, and Yogu. He had failed them. They were dead and he was doing anything to bring them back. He had lost. This was just another failure. The weight crashed on his shoulder. The Fujin bag inches from Vic would become filled with Pillows making any impact to him not nearly as powerful as it was before if Ledinjin even let it hit him at all.
Yanwang hit the ground as his fist slammed into the snow. He didn't feel any strength. He felt empty. He felt tired. He felt Ice longed to face. Slowly freezing tears. He had hit the low. “I wanted to be like Koban or Yogu or Nashi but my own person. I lived under other people shadow. Now that their shadows are gone I'm nothing. I'm a just dumb kid.” He sniffs looking down. He was done. He could not do this. All this he put in his back he could not handle it. He could not go revive Koban, Nashi or Yogu. It was going to kill him to do it. Why had they all left? Why did everyone who he needed the help up disappear? He thought the Kai was going to help him but she was gone too. How was he supposed to revive them? He’d have to fight and claw for the dragonballs. He had all this responsibility on his shoulders. Why couldn’t someone else have it? Yanwang just laid there looking up at the sky not looking at Led or Vic. He just sat and thought of nothing.

"I warned you it was going to be boring," Ledinjin retorted. He looked back to Vicarous to ask, "I did mention that, right?"
"You did mention tha-"
Vic stopped immediately, seeing the hairy guy rush at him with great anger! He was annoyed that Vic was rubbing it in, and so much more. He felt useless and abhorrent to do anything to help Koban! In this angry display, he was about to throttle Vicarous with a hefty blow. At this point, Ledinjin's body and antlers doubled in size, power, and speed to catch up to the hairy guy. The weapon was a energy-empowered bag of sorts and was being used as a flail.
Before the blow could be done, Ledinjin grasped a hold of it and, in his deepened voice, roared with a commanding one, "What you are doing now is precisely why keeping your energy down low is important! Now sit!"
The bag, once full of some hard object, softened greatly in Ledinjin's burly hand. The guy fell to his knees, dread encompassing his energy. The Arcosian released it. This training partner of theirs spoke, saying they wanted to be like Koban and two others, although they knew they weren't. Courage to stand on their own didn't exist, in their eyes.
"If you didn't believe in yourself in the first place, you'd not be here trying to better yourself..."
The old Arcosian knelt down in the snow in front of them and put his hand to the boy's chin, aiming to make him look Ledinjin in his eyes. He pointed with the other hand and elaborated, "You need to understand something right now: For one, their deaths are not on your head! They paid the ultimate price so there would be a better tomorrow, for those who'd been held by their own guilt to act. You are not Koban. You're- You're..."
Ledinjin paused a moment, giving a blank expression when he was trying to remember this kid's name... He didn't actually give it, did he?
"... I'm not gonna lie, I never got your name. What is it?"
Ledinjin is now in Brute Form! His PL is 97,120.

Yanwang sat in the snow as Ledinjin spoke trying to talk to him. He'd went to lift his head up but Yanwang just moved his head getting up. He explained that these deaths were not his fault. "I know. If I had been their though. Nothing would have changed that was what hurts even more." Yanwang grimaced. He was not strong enough, he just would have gotten in the way. He would not have saved them. He was trying to make him feel better. While that was nice he was still glum. He didn't know what he wanted to do. The man asked him what his name was. "Yanwang." He'd say before getting up. He'd grab his bag flinging it over his shoulder. "Thanks for your time but i'm going to head out. I think I need some time to think." Yanwang confessed. He really didn't know what to do. Plus he needed to cool off. He really lost his cool with Vic. He felt bad for it. Still, he knew it was best he just stayed by himself for a bit. He'd need to do something to just not focus on fighting or training. So Yanwang began to climb down the mountain leaving the two to their training.
Fun Thread. I'm gonnna exit!

Finally, the man gave his name, after agreeing with Ledinjin's statements: Yanwang. At this point, he was aiming to leave.
"Yanwang," Ledinjin uttered, "Take care of yourself. If you need assistance with something, whatever it is, come to these mountains again. I'll be there swiftly... Vic, let's get back to it!"
"Yes sir," Vic said energetically. He looked Yanwang and told him, "If ya learn how to chill out, I can show you a few things later!"
Ledinjin and Vicarous both powered down as Vic rushed over to a cliff Ledinjin approached. They begun to scale down it and get back home, as at this point, they needed to stow away from prying eyes. This, though, meant that they had to take a very long way back... Which also meant Vicarous had to climb more rocky walls of mountains! At the end of it all, Vicarous was left dead tired and hoping for some of Gufi's good ol' fashioned soup for warming up.
Indeed! Let's do this again some other time. :D
