As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.
Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Yilun and Lin Xiaofei walked out of the courtyard of the martial arts arena and left separately.
As Lin Xiaofei walked home, he recalled the martial arts battles he had witnessed among the inner disciples in the martial arts arena that day, and thought to himself:
Today I watched no fewer than a hundred martial arts battles, especially those between inner disciples. The fights were very exciting and I gained some insights, while also recognizing some of my own shortcomings.
The contest between martial artists at the Inner Qi Realm is not only about strength, but also about speed.
Upon careful consideration, I realize that my own strength is in no way inferior to that of a martial artist with internal energy.
Watching today's game, I realized that my own speed is somewhat lacking.
Especially seeing Li Yunguo and Chen Dihai, who leaped down from the sixteen-meter-high pavilion with such ease.
If I were to fly out of the sixteen-meter-high pavilion and use my light-footed skills, I could land smoothly, but not with the same ease.
Now, he possesses the strength of the Inner Qi Realm, as well as Inner Qi cultivation techniques, the top-tier martial skill Phantom Fist, and the top-tier sword technique Mad Shadow Sword Art, but he lacks a decent movement technique.
Although he possessed the Light Cloud Step, it was only suitable for those below the entry-level martial artist level. Once one reached the Inner Qi Realm, it became somewhat insufficient.
After returning to his room, Lin Xiaofei thought about how he needed to cultivate a decent level of lightness skill. His eyes lit up as he looked at the spatial bead.
Jiang Daoguang was still tied to the large wooden stake. Lin Xiaofei smiled and entered the spatial bead.
The instant Lin Xiaofei appeared not far behind Jiang Daoguang, Jiang Daoguang tilted his head back slightly, glanced sideways, and quickly returned to his original position, saying:
"Junior Brother Lin, you said you'd let me leave alive. Do you still mean it?"
Jiang Daoguang thought Lin Xiaofei had come to kill him, so he quickly tested Lin Xiaofei.
"Senior Brother Jiang, don't worry. The information you told me last night will keep you alive."
However, leaving here will be a bit difficult.
He walked halfway around Jiang Daoguang from behind, came up to Jiang Daoguang, and said.
"You still haven't told me if you'll keep your word."
Jiang Daoguang stared into Lin Xiaofei's eyes and said.
He had been inside the spatial bead, tied to a wooden stake, for a day. He discovered that this place was a sealed space, and he couldn't find the exit. This made him uneasy. If Lin Xiaofei wanted to kill him, no one here would know. Therefore, he needed to confirm whether Lin Xiaofei would really let him leave.
“It counts!” Lin Xiaofei said.
"Why should I believe you?" Jiang Daoguang asked.
Whether you believe it or not, you have no choice.
However, if you choose to trust me, you have a chance to leave here, don't you?
Lin Xiaofei smiled and said.
Jiang Daoguang lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said softly:
What do you want from me? Ask away.
"I lack a decent skill in light-body techniques. What suggestions can you give me?"
Lin Xiaofei said.
Before he even went to find Jiang Daoguang, he had already figured it out: Jiang Daoguang was a martial artist at the peak of internal energy cultivation, so his lightness skill must also be quite good.
He originally wanted to exchange for a top-level lightness skill within the gang, but before going, he still wanted to hear Jiang Daoguang's thoughts, since the other party had been at the Qingfeng Gang headquarters for many years and had a broader perspective than him.
"I have mastered a pretty good lightness skill called Lotus Step, which may be suitable for Junior Brother Lin."
Jiang Daoguang said.
"Lotus Steps? That's a nice name. Tell me about this Lotus Steps technique."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, and he said.
Upon hearing the name of this light-body skill, he felt that it must be a pretty good one.
Nodding, Jiang Daoguang said:
The Lotus Step: With each step, a lotus flower blooms beneath the feet. Internal energy flows in, and the movement speed is like a lotus emerging from the sea—extremely fast. Although not a top-tier movement technique, it is still a remarkable and exquisite light-body skill.
If this lightness skill is cultivated to the highest level, even becoming a second-rate early-stage master is still a pretty good lightness skill.
Of course, based on my understanding, if one can cultivate to the perfect realm, that would be enough to become a first-rate master.
..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei nodded, overjoyed. If the Lotus Step could be used to the level of a first-rate martial artist, then he wouldn't need to exchange for a lightness skill from the guild.
Moreover, after listening to Jiang Daoguang's explanation, he believed that the Lotus Step was four or five times better than the Light Cloud Step, and that it was worth practicing.
Once he cultivates the Lotus Step to perfection, his speed will be even faster, which will greatly help him unleash his combat power.
Seeing Lin Xiaofei's satisfied expression, Jiang Daoguang added:
To reach the highest level of Lotus Step, one must improve the quality of one's internal energy, that is, transform internal energy into internal force. The deeper the internal force, the faster one can perform Lotus Step, like a whirlwind or lightning.
However, only a third-rate master can convert internal energy into internal force.
Internal energy and internal force may look similar, but the power they unleash is different, and therefore their effects on martial arts techniques are also different.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, not expecting that Jiang Daoguang knew more than him. This made him realize that there was a difference between a third-rate martial artist and someone at the Inner Qi Realm.
This is equivalent to the fact that there is a big difference between him using internal energy to perform the Mad Shadow Sword Technique and the entry-level cultivator using physical strength to perform the Mad Shadow Sword Technique.
Then, Jiang Daoguang told Lin Xiaofei all about the cultivation method of the Lotus Step and some techniques.
He told Lin Xiaofei for two reasons: first, he was close to mastering the Lotus Step technique and knew it was a good light-body skill; second, he wanted to seize the opportunity to leave this place.
After all, he was only in his forties and wanted to live a few more years. He thought that if he told Lin Xiaofei everything he wanted to know, Lin Xiaofei might really let him leave.
After memorizing the Lotus Steps cultivation method that Jiang Daoguang had told him, Lin Xiaofei pondered it three times. His eyes lit up, he smiled, and said, "
"Senior Brother Jiang, you're such a kind person! Now that you've taught me a decent lightness skill, I don't need to exchange for a top-tier movement technique anymore, which saves me a lot of money."
Seeing Lin Xiaofei's happy face, Jiang Daoguang quickly said:
"Junior Brother Lin, now I've told you what you wanted to know. Can you let me leave now?"
"Letting you leave here is certainly not a problem, but we won't let you leave right now."
After all, I haven't learned the method of lightness skill you told me about yet, so who knows if what you told me is true or false? Let's talk about it after I learn it.”
Lin Xiaofei said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Daoguang nodded, agreeing with Lin Xiaofei's assessment. After all, the veracity of Lin Xiaofei's statement still needed to be verified.
"Senior Brother Jiang, considering you saved me a lot of money, I'll untie you."
However, let me make this clear from the start: here, apart from the spring water you can drink and the wild vegetables on this land you can eat, don't touch anything else.
Otherwise, once I find out, you will never be able to leave this place.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei said.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't worry, I won't touch a single one of your things."
Jiang Daoguang quickly replied.
He didn't want to stay in this deserted place any longer, so he didn't dare touch Lin Xiaofei's things and quickly made his stance clear.
