Creating Your Own Era
Techniques to lighten the body

After practicing archery for an hour, the Sun had already started to rise.

"rong'er, I'll teach you the body lightening technique." Yuchi Xue, wearing white fur, smiled as she looked at her son.

"Yes" said Rong.

Even though he had trained to the point where his waist and back were extremely painful, because he had practiced the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the nine heavens], the regeneration speed of his body was extremely high. Right now, his mind was clear, fresh, and full of energy.

“In close combat, footwork is as important as sword technique!” Yuchi Xue said solemnly. “When two people engage in a battle, one with better footwork and agility can make it difficult for opponents to injure them, while they can easily injure opponents.”

Rong nodded.

Close combat did not just mean standing there like idiots, waving swords and swords at each other. It was constantly changing positions like an unexpected shadow. In his past life, he had seen expert taekwondo and karate. All of those most elite competitors greatly appreciated the footwork, and their footwork was excellent, capable of making ten consecutive enemy blows miss, or at least their strength was drastically reduced.

The importance of foot movements is arguably higher than attacking techniques! As she has been tormented by illness in her past life, Rong thoroughly and eagerly enjoys watching the competition, which makes her understand the importance of footwork in the taekwondo and karate competitions.

In this world where spirits and monsters abound, the basics are still the same.

body lightening techniques are one of the most important things.

“ I will teach you a body lightening technique known as [Wind Shadow Step],” his mother said. “Do not be fooled by his mediocre name. This is a collection of extremely amazing body lightening techniques.I am the only one who knows about it in our Lou clan, and even among the five regions, it is considered to be the highest type of body lightening technique. Once you start learning this technique, you will understand how to dodge and move in a narrow area, while also learning how to escape easily.”

“First, read the six basic movements carefully.” By flipping his hand, his mother made a thick yellow book appear out of nowhere.

Rong accepted it and started reading it carefully.

This book describes the [Wind Shadow Steps] and its six basic movements. The six movements were extremely beautiful and profound in their movements and uses of their strength and energy.

“Do not just stare at him.” Xue pointed to a distant area. "Look over there."

Rong turned his head and looked at the wooden pillar. There must have been thousands of wooden pillars there, and all of them had different heights and different distances from each other. On top of these wooden poles were a number of beast robes, thousands of which decorated the area like ropes.

"It was known as the Thousand Star Array," Xue said. “Through the use of the thousand-star Array, within ten years, you should be able to reach the 'Ruwei' stage of the wind shadow step, If not for the Thousand Stars Array ... you may have to spend a hundred times that time.

“Technique [wind shadow step] has three stages.”

"First, the basic stage."

"Second, advanced."

"Three, one with the world."

xue looked at rong. “Actually, all techniques, be it lightening body, sword, spear, or whatever, can be divided into these three stages. For example, the 'advanced stage' of a sword technique is often described as 'one with a sword'.”

"Have you memorized the mysteries of the six basic movements?" ask xue.

"Yes." Yeah." Rong nodded.

Xue then walked towards the Thousand Stars Array, then pointed to one of the extremely short pillars. "Go stand on this pillar."

"Yes." Yeah." Rong easily jumped onto the wooden pillar.

He immediately felt shaky. The pillar was not very large, and there was only enough for one leg. Fortunately, after practicing the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], he had an excellent balance. This was the only reason why he was able to stand up stably.

“Listen to my command.Whichever of the six basic moves I ask you to use, that's what you use, ” Xue said. "Step 'forward'!"

Rong immediately tried to advance and step on top of another pillar in front of him, but when he hit the beast leather rope and, slipping, he fell to the ground.

“Remember, every time you move in the Thousand Star Array, you must not step on any animal skin. Once you do, you have to start all over again, ” said his mother.

Rong gritted his teeth.

He refused to believe it would happen again.

He once again jumped onto the short pillar, and then, using the 'forward' movement, he avoided passing through the beast skin and moved to the next wooden pillar. However, he had used too much strength. His body swayed for a long time before he could stabilize himself with that one leg again.

“Remember, your movement should be like a nail, plugging the nail down with each step. When you land on the pillar, you should be glued to it!” his mother said “Each step should not be too small or too big. It should not be too light or too heavy. Just now, you lost your balance. If this is a life or death fight, you will be stabbed to death by an enemy who will find weakness in your attack continue. Movement 'forward'!"

"Step 'forward'!"

"Step 'dodge'!"

"Step 'jump'!"

"Step 'backward'!"

"Step 'withdrawal'!"

"Step 'turn'!"

Xue snapped giving the order.

Actually all the techniques to relieve the body rely on these basic movements. But the difference between different techniques is like day and night in terms of skills. Some will make you move as fast as lightning, while others will make you nimble and graceful as the wind, or perhaps unfathomable as a spirit.

Each footwork technique has its own mystery, and will certainly have different effects in combat.

“Aduh!” He had yet to jump high enough, and his back had touched the beast leather rope, causing him to be unable to land on the wooden pillar. He crashed.

Not saying a word, Lou Rong climbed back onto the pillar.

“Aduh!” His knees haven't bent enough.

“Aduh!” He had used too much power.

……

“Mother, how long will I train like this?” Rong has fallen many times.

“rong'er, start from the shortest pillar and move through 1008 wooden pillars, then jump down from the highest pillar! you must not touch the skin of any animal on the road! ”

“If you can finish this within the time it takes someone to take ten breaths, then you will master the ‘dasar’ level of this footwork.” Yuchi xue laughed.

Rong was stunned when he heard this. "What's? In ten breaths? In such a short time.Even in running on flat ground, I will not be able to do it in ten breaths.” 1008 wooden poles, all of which must be passed. That's a distance of a thousand or more meters. It took a while for him to travel that distance at full speed.

"Later, rong'er, when you have finished mastering the first level [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], you will be able to travel a thousand meters on the ground in ten breaths." Xue laughs.

"But ..." Rong fell silent.

"Move in the Thousand Stars Array as if you were on the ground .. Only then will you master the 'basic' stage'."

"Then what about the second stage, 'continued'?" Rong couldn't help but ask.

Xue pushed one of the animal skin cords nearby, which began to collide with the skin of the other beast. Soon, the thousand plus beast skins were all swinging and hitting each other in a completely wild and chaotic manner.

“The second stage, the 'advanced' stage, requires you to once again start from the lowest pillar and move through the 1008 pillars, then jump down from the highest pillar, in the span of ten breaths, and then jump down from the highest pillar, without touching the skin of any animal. However ... for the 'advanced' stage, all animal skins will attack each other. ” xue looked at Lou Rong. "Once you can do that, you will master the 'continued' stage'."

“But but but... how is it possible? If all the animal skins swayed, how would I avoid them? There would probably only be a split second for me to avoid the beast skin and also jump onto the wooden pillar. And in such a short time.” Rong found this too difficult, very difficult.

"That's why I said that with the help of the Thousand Star Array, you should need ten years to reach the 'continued' stage of the [Wind Shadow Step]," Xue said. "From now until lunch time, you will continue to train here in the Thousand Star Array."

"Then what about the third stage, 'one with the world'?" Rong couldn't help but ask.

Xue looked at Rong and laughed. “It was on a completely different level. Once you reach it, you will understand. ”

“How strong is it? I can at least explain it, "asked Rong.

"good. If I had to explain..Even the ten thousand arrows that rained down on me at the same time wouldn't be able to hurt me at all.” his mother looked at her son.

"Ten thousand arrows at once?" Lou Rong instantly imagined a thick bunch of countless arrows raining down, but none of them could touch her. It's unimaginable. After all, the human body occupies a certain amount of space. If countless arrows filled the sky, logically, there should be no way to avoid them. ”

mother smiled. “Do not despair. Most of the peak Houtian experts from the various tribes were only able to reach the first 'basic' stage."

"The Xiantian life form can usually reach the second 'advanced' stage."

“Most Zifu Students are able to reach the third stage 'one with the world'. But of course, some extremely talented Xiantian living beings were able to reach the level of 'one with the world'. like your father!" mother said.

"Dad?" Rong was surprised and pleased.

“your father has reached the level of 'one with the world'. And even in swordplay, which is harder to train than body lightening science, your father has reached the level of 'one with the world'." his mother laughed. “That is why your father is the undisputed number one expert of the Western region of the Lou clan. That was why it amazed all the countless tribes. ”

rong's heart became proud of his heroic feeling. Whatever his father could do, he himself could definitely do it, especially since he had [Nuwa Painting] and the wisdom of his past life!

"continue!"

"Step 'forward'!"

"Step 'turn'!"

"Step 'jump'!"

Rong carefully flashed across the Thousand Star Array, occasionally falling over.

……

After lunch.

After eating until full and resting for a while, Rong was pulled to the training ground once again by her father. Spring afternoon The sun is very beautiful, and the rays are very comfortable.

"Dad." Lou Rong looked at her ice-like father, wearing a blood-red beast fur. His heart was filled with admiration. His father had even killed Diremonsters like Dragonsnakes. In terms of strength and skill, his father had reached a very high level. Even some Xiantian sentient beings came asking to be his father's disciples and learn his sword techniques.

His father had nine main disciples, three of whom were Xiantian living beings. But his father taught only nine of his students once every month.

But Rong? He will be taught every day!

“From today onwards, I will teach you how to use the sword.” Yichuan looked at his son and said in a cold voice, "The sword is not a bow, nor is it like a body lightening technique."

“Archery training only needs someone to get used to it. Once one's strength increased and his vision improved, naturally, one would be able to shoot even stronger arrows!”

“Although the body lightening technique is important, it is still additional... To kill an opponent, you still have to use your sword in the end!”.

“The sword is considered a short weapon! They are light and agile, with two sides. Its use was more precise and profound than a spear either by slashing, stabbing, cutting, scraping, or knocking, one could easily kill an opponent. Sometimes, someone who trains incorrectly can even hurt himself. It was the truest weapon of war.” Yichuan looked at his son.

Rong could feel his blood boiling, and he was extremely excited. Eyes shine. "Dad, what kind of sword technique will I learn?"

“Swield technique? Wait a few more years!” Yichuan said coldly.

"Wait a few more years?" Rong's confused.

Yichuan said coldly, “The sword move was born by your body! If you want to use the sword well, then first of all, you must control your body well. First, you have to practice boxing. Once your body and arms are very agile and can fully control your strength, then your body will be ready to learn the sword technique!”

"But just preparing your body is not enough."

"You must also prepare your 'mind' to learn the sword!"

Seriate..
