Xu Yan Understands Again, Light Swan Movement Technique

After recalling the movement technique incantation, Li Xuan approached the Bagua formation and said, "Disciple, your diligent practice these past few days has improved your speed, and your footwork has become much more agile.

"But you're still far from truly grasping the movement technique.

"Now that you've gained some understanding of the way of movement techniques, it's time for me to teach you the incantation.

"Memorize it well."

Xu Yan stopped in his tracks and said excitedly, "Yes, Master!"

"The power of movement techniques lies in lightness and speed. Lightness allows for silent movement, while speed is like lightning..."

Li Xuan spoke with the air of a seasoned master.

Xu Yan listened, lost in thought, and vaguely felt he understood how to comprehend the movement technique.

"Light as a swan's feather falling from a leaf, swift as thunder with no trace!"

Li Xuan recited the incantation he had just composed, word by word.

"Disciple, contemplate this incantation carefully!"

With that, he turned and left, hands behind his back.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan bowed.

Having composed a couple of lines for Xu Yan, whether he could grasp the movement technique now depended on himself.

However, Li Xuan believed his disciple wouldn't disappoint him.

Xu Yan's mind was filled with those two lines of incantation, and the more he contemplated them, the more profound they seemed.

He looked up and saw that his Master had already left. Just as he was about to resume his practice, he paused.

"Master said the power of movement techniques lies in lightness and speed...

"What is this? Master's footwork is so leisurely, so relaxed and carefree..."

Xu Yan observed his Master leaving, hands behind his back, his steps unhurried and relaxed, exuding an indescribable ease.

"Master's leisurely steps, was he inadvertently revealing the movement technique?

"No! Master's realm is so high that he has long returned to simplicity. He appears to walk slowly, but it actually contains the highest principles of movement techniques.

"As the saying goes, teaching by word and deed. Master just imparted the incantation to me; were these leisurely steps a form of teaching by example?

"Yes! It must be so. I must understand the profound meaning contained within Master's footwork!"

After a bout of imaginative deduction, Xu Yan felt a surge of energy.

He immediately stared intently at his Master's footwork, noticing an indescribable leisureliness, a carefree and unrestrained lightness within his swift movements!

The more he watched, the more he felt that his Master's footwork subtly embodied the principles of movement techniques.

"Light as a swan's feather falling from a leaf, swift as thunder with no trace... I'm starting to get it."

As Xu Yan watched his Master's steps, a flash of inspiration gradually appeared in his mind. The leisurely, light, and unrestrained footwork merged with the incantation.

He vaguely understood something.

Meanwhile, Li Xuan's figure had already disappeared from Xu Yan's sight.

Li Xuan was in excellent spirits. He had composed two more lines of incantation for his disciple, and soon he would receive feedback on the movement technique.

Therefore, he walked with leisurely steps, feeling free and unfettered, even wanting to hum a tune.

He had no idea that his carefree and unrestrained steps were being observed by Xu Yan, who had engaged in a bout of imaginative deduction to comprehend the profound principles within them.

Ever since Xu Yan imagined that his Master's footwork contained profound principles, while contemplating the movement technique incantation and practicing the technique, his mind was constantly filled with those unrestrained, carefree, and leisurely steps.

Combined with the incantation, his comprehension deepened with continuous new insights.

It felt as if he were just one step away from understanding a powerful movement technique.

Within the Bagua formation, Xu Yan's steps became lighter, his landings silent, his turns smoother, and his leaps imbued with a sense of lightness.

His figure moved like a phantom within the Bagua, his steps growing lighter and his speed increasing.

"Faster!

"I feel like I'm just a little bit away from comprehending the movement technique."

Xu Yan's gaze was resolute.

At a certain moment, only his Master's leisurely, unrestrained, and carefree footwork remained in his mind, gradually becoming more profound and clearer.

A realization dawned upon him.

"Light as a swan's feather falling from a leaf, swift as thunder with no trace... I'm starting to get it. Light swan feathers drifting silently, thunder lasting but an instant... This must be the Light Swan Movement Technique.

"Although I haven't fully grasped its true intent, I've at least made an entry into the realm of movement techniques.

"Light swan feathers drifting silently, disappearing in an instant – Light Swan Movement Technique!"

At that moment, an infinite wave of comprehension surged into Xu Yan's mind. His body flickered and became ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if he had teleported, arriving at another position.

He landed silently, without disturbing a speck of dust.

His figure flickered within the Bagua diagram, growing faster and lighter, changing positions in an instant.

Moreover, at such a rapid speed, there wasn't the slightest sound of wind.

He moved with a flickering grace, light as a feather, silent and unseen.

"I've finally mastered the Light Swan Movement Technique!"

Xu Yan was ecstatic.

He let out a long cry and leaped into the air, instantly appearing a hundred zhang away. With a raise of his hand, he unleashed a Dragon Subduing Palm, a fiery red dragon erupting forth and blasting a crater into the ground.

As Xu Yan's movement technique flickered, he struck with the Dragon Subduing Palm, shifting left and right, up and down, twisting and turning, changing positions in a flash. The Dragon Subduing Palm naturally followed, striking from different directions instantaneously.

With his movement technique comprehended, Xu Yan's combat power surged instantly.

"Next, I need to cultivate diligently and reach the minor accomplishment stage of the Qi and Blood Realm as soon as possible!"

Xu Yan felt incredibly invigorated.

"Your disciple has successfully cultivated the movement technique you created, naming it the Light Swan Movement Technique, and you have directly achieved mastery, making you ten times stronger than others in the same realm."

Three days after passing on the incantation to Xu Yan.

Li Xuan was sitting in a chair, idly playing with a Jade Ruyi.

Suddenly, golden light appeared.

In his mind, the profound principles of the Light Swan Movement Technique flashed through, and he instantly achieved mastery.

Li Xuan stood up directly, a look of excitement on his face.

"As expected, there's a world of difference between having the incantation and not having it.

"My disciple truly has monstrous talent; as long as he has the incantation, he can comprehend it.

"It was worth all the effort I put into devising the incantation.

"It seems I can teach him the cultivation method for the Innate Realm in advance, allowing him to familiarize himself with it and strive to break through to the Innate Realm sooner."

With a slight movement of his foot, as light as a feather and silent, he had left the small village in an instant.

His figure flickered with extreme speed, yet it carried no wind, moving silently.

Li Xuan, still playing with the Jade Ruyi, had already arrived at Xu Yan's cultivation spot.

He saw his disciple practicing his movement technique, continuously unleashing the Dragon Subduing Palm, using the movement technique to complement the palm strikes and cultivate strategies for combat.

"It's time for Master to show off his skills again!"

A smile spread across Li Xuan's face.

With a subtle movement, he silently appeared behind Xu Yan.

With his Qi and Blood Realm mastery, a hundred times stronger than others in the same realm, and his mastery of the Light Swan Movement Technique, ten times stronger than others in the same realm, Xu Yan had no way of detecting his arrival.

At this moment, Xu Yan was practicing with great excitement, completely unaware that someone was following his every move behind him.

Li Xuan kept his hands behind his back. No matter how Xu Yan twisted and turned, he remained behind him, silent and unnoticed. Xu Yan had no idea.

"Disciple, in a moment, I'll let you feel your Master's power!"

A joyful smile played on his lips.
