The Eight-sectioned Brocade exercise was something Shi Feng had accidentally stumbled upon in his previous life, after becoming the Guild Leader of Shadow, when he visited an antique shop.
Originally, he had planned to test the effectiveness of the exercise. However, after the company hired a martial arts master as an instructor at the Workshop, Shi Feng gave up on that notion. It trains both the internal and external parts of the body. Internally the spirit and breathing, and externally, the muscles, bones, and skin are trained. Although the exercise did not increase his body’s strength, it refreshed his psyche and allowed him to remain calm at all times.
