Superior master level was achieved by bringing what one already had into perfect completion in one circle. The reason why a warrior at the superior master level can control its internal energy was because of this understanding of having understood how to bring everything into one. But the higher level required another understanding. It required not limiting oneself to controlling the energy, but to be freed from it. When one finds balance to let the energy flow freely in and out of the body, this understanding would be the one to bring warriors to the supreme master level.
