Minor Achievement in Subtle Movement

The chieftain of the Tao Clan was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. For this grand ceremony, he wore the ceremonial robes that the Tao Clan wore during sacrificial rites. However, the robes now appeared quite disheveled due to the old chieftain's overreaction.

"Clan leader, what do Subtle Movement '?"

Not every Clan Elder knew about this realm, and they asked with unease.

"Movement Technique Subtle Movement movements allows one to evade an opponent's attacks with minimal action. Therefore, in the same amount of time, a martial artist who has grasped this Subtle Movement can complete more evasive maneuvers..."

A middle-aged man spoke up; he was Tao Yunxiao's father, the youngest Purple Blood Peak expert in the Tao Clan.

"With Subtle Movement Technique, not only is it easier to evade enemies, but because you're so close to them when you evade, it's also easier to launch a counterattack! Therefore, an opponent with Subtle Movement Technique is truly terrifying!"

"And even within the realm of Subtle Movement, there are entry-level, minor success, and major success... Yi Yun can now use the 'momentum' of the cloud-based attack to evade attacks, which can be considered the minor success stage of the Subtle Movement realm!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, his expression was complex. He was very familiar with the realm of Subtle Movement, because he had studied Subtle Movement carefully back then, and it was precisely because of his study of Subtle Movement that he knew just how difficult Subtle Movement.

But now, in a twelve-year-old boy, he actually saw the initial stage of mastery of the Subtle Movement Technique, and this boy was precisely his son's opponent. How could he not be moved?

The gap between Tao Yunxiao Yi Yun was still too great. Even using the power of the Female Gu Sword, he couldn't do anything to Yi Yun!

At this moment, atop the Floating Sky Ship, Su Jie watched Yi Yun's movements and laughed heartily, "This kid... his Movement Technique Subtle Movement, tsk tsk! Xin Tong, when you fought Yi Yun last time, he had already grasped the Subtle Movement during his duel with you, right!"

"Yes!" Lin Xin Tong nodded. "Yi Yun did reach the level of Subtle Movement perception that night, but at that time, he had only touched the threshold of Subtle Movement and knew how to dodge attacks. He was not like now, when he had reached the minor completion level and could use the 'momentum' of the opponent's attack to dodge attacks."

"In just a few days, Yi Yun's progress can truly be described as phenomenal."

Lin Xin Tong carefully considered her words before giving Yi Yun an apt evaluation.

Even by the extremely demanding standards of geniuses set by those powerful Lineage, Yi Yun's progress in his Movement Technique was remarkably rapid.

An opponent who can gain insights from combat and quickly apply those insights in actual battles is quite formidable!

"Haha, I'm growing to like this kid more and more. Look at him, he's not attacking Tao Yunxiao at all, he's just dodging everything. He's enjoying the subtle realm of Subtle Movement!"

At this moment, Yi Yun was indeed enjoying himself.

He savored his Subtle Movement understanding of movement Movement Technique. This feeling was simply wonderful; he felt as if his body had lost its weight, like a light feather, able to dodge any attack at will.

He even hoped that Tao Yunxiao's attacks would be faster and more fierce, so that Yi Yun could gain more insights and solidify his mastery of Subtle Movement.

But Tao Yunxiao had gone completely mad at this point. He was truly insane. No matter what he did, he couldn't touch Yi Yun!

The Clan Elder of the Tao Clan looked extremely grim at this moment, and the surrounding audience stopped shouting.

They couldn't shout anymore. They realized that Yi Yun wasn't fighting Tao Yunxiao at all; he was actually practicing his Movement Technique!

Yes, Yi Yun actually used the fight with Tao Yunxiao to practice his Movement Technique!

This is an insult to Tao Yunxiao!

Tao Yunxiao had already sacrificed his own life force and used the forbidden power of the Female Gu Sword to fight, pushing his combat power to the extreme. But Yi Yun? If he had just suppressed Tao Yunxiao, that would have been one thing, but he actually used Tao Yunxiao's extreme attacks to hone his own Movement Technique. This was too arrogant and showed no respect for anyone!

However, they soon learned that there were even more arrogant things to come.

There's nothing that this arrogant brat Yi Yun wouldn't do. For example, right now... as Tao Yunxiao's attacks became increasingly frenzied, Yi Yun, shrouded in Sword Light, actually... actually... closed his eyes!

Close your eyes?

Tens of thousands of spectators around were completely dumbfounded!

With swords so densely packed, they couldn't even see them clearly, yet Yi Yun actually closed his eyes to dodge!? Has he gone mad?

But then, the surrounding audience began to doubt whether it was Yi Yun who had gone mad or they themselves had gone mad. They actually saw Yi Yun, with his eyes closed, easily dodge all of Tao Yunxiao's attacks, his movements as fluid as flowing water!

It could even be said that Yi Yun's movements became even smoother with his eyes closed than before.

How is that possible!?

The audience of the Lian Clan was utterly shocked, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets!

At this moment, Yi Yun had entered a very mysterious state. Yi Yun discovered that he was dodging Tao Yunxiao's attacks not mainly by his eyes, but by sensing the "momentum" in Tao Yunxiao's attacks!

Tao Yunxiao attacked with his sword, which contained Sword Qi, killing intent, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that Tao Yunxiao had infused into the sword!

All of these combined will form a "momentum," and by sensing this "momentum," Yi Yun can dodge Tao Yunxiao's attack.

Such a dodge is much faster than the eye can see!

When the eyes see the enemy's attack trajectory, the signal needs to be transmitted to the brain, and only when the brain issues a command can the body dodge. This process is already a beat too slow.

However, when the body senses the force of an attack, it can form a conditioned reflex, subconsciously making a dodging action. With the help of the "force," the dodge will be even faster.

That's why, to the untrained eye, it would seem that Yi Yun didn't dodge Tao Yunxiao's attack, but rather that Tao Yunxiao's attack pushed Yi Yun away.

It's obvious which of these two dodging methods is superior.

Since Yi Yun understood that he mainly relied on sensing "momentum" to avoid attacks, he simply closed his eyes!

After the chaotic Sword Light disappeared from his sight, Yi Yun's attention became more focused, and his perception of "momentum" became more acute.

In this way, no matter how crazy Tao Yunxiao went, he wouldn't be able to touch Yi Yun's clothes.

On the Floating Sky Ship, Su Jie stroked his chubby chin, which seemed to split in two, and clicked his tongue, saying, "That kid Yi Yun is really no good. He's clearly bullying people! Taking advantage of his Subtle Movement to bully others... That's wrong, but... I like it!!"

Beside Su Jie, Lin Xin Tong chuckled. She knew that the insights gained from this battle would greatly benefit Yi Yun's future growth, so it was naturally better to experience as much as possible. However, if things continued like this, Tao Yunxiao might be so discouraged that his confidence would collapse.

Lin Xin Tong didn't like Tao Yunxiao. In their few meetings, she noticed that Tao Yunxiao 'Lin Xin Tong gaze towards her carried a subtle sense of aggression.

Lin Xin Tong wasn't angry about this. In fact, Tao Yunxiao was such an insignificant little person that his gaze wasn't worth Lin Xin Tong's attention at all. Lin Xin Tong just felt speechless. The so-called young masters in Yunhuang had no idea how vast this world was. They didn't know what it meant to be narrow-minded, and they didn't know how big the gap was between them and the real ancient Lineage. Tao Yunxiao's aggressive desire towards her was actually a ridiculous thing.

Since ancient times, backwardness and ignorance have been twins, inseparable, Yunhuang... is a prime example.

Just as Lin Xin Tong had thought, Tao Yunxiao was truly on the verge of collapse at this moment.

He was an extremely arrogant person! Because he was young and had not seen the vast world outside, the word "cannot" did not exist in Tao Yunxiao's dictionary.

But then he encountered Yi Yun, a boy two years younger than him, whose strength surpassed his.

Tao Yunxiao didn't want to fail, so he risked expending his own vital energy and regressing his cultivation by using the forbidden power within the Ancestral Artifact. But the result was...

His opponent used him to practice his Movement Technique!

This shattered Tao Yunxiao's arrogance!

"Ah!"

Tao Yunxiao let out a frantic roar, the veins on his sword-wielding hand bulging, and he swung the sword to its fullest extent, but he just couldn't hit Yi Yun!

In full view of everyone, in front of tens of thousands of people from the Tao Clan, in front of his father, grandfather, high-ranking Tao Clan, and high-ranking members of the Brocade Dragon Guard, he was completely outmaneuvered by a child two years younger than him.

He's really going crazy!

He desperately wanted to strike Yi Yun; if he could hit Yi Yun even once with his sword, he would be willing to trade twenty years of his life for it!

However, reality is incredibly cruel.

Yi Yun's movements remained fluid and graceful, while Tao Yunxiao felt his strength waning!

The Female Gu Sword is a blood-drinking sword, and the power of the blood that Female Gu Sword Tao Yunxiao sprayed onto it is about to be completely exhausted!

"Ah!"

Tao Yunxiao let out a heart-wrenching roar, as if his heart was about to explode. Two streams of blood flowed down his nostrils, meandering like small snakes.

Firstly, he was consumed by rage, and secondly, his previous Blood Sacrifice had damaged his vital energy foundation, making his vital energy unstable.

Tao Yunxiao stopped, panting heavily, blood gushing from his nose!

Throughout Tao Yunxiao's life, he has never been as humiliated as he was today!

"Yi Yun, do you dare to take my sword head-on!"

Tao Yunxiao's eyes were bloodshot. He stopped attacking, realizing that no matter how he attacked, it would be ineffective!

But Tao Yunxiao cannot admit defeat. He must confront Yi Yun head-on, otherwise today's experience will become a lifelong demon in his heart!

Left with no other choice, he resorted to reverse psychology.

At this moment, Tao Yunxiao's hand holding the sword was trembling, and he stared at Yi Yun with intense resentment.

Yi Yun, however, still did not open his eyes; he remained immersed in the enlightenment he had just gained.

From the Subtle Movement threshold of Movement Technique to its Subtle Movement mastery, Yi Yun had much to digest and understand.

He remained immersed in his own world, seemingly oblivious to Tao Yunxiao's words. In fact, for Yi Yun at this moment, nothing around him mattered anymore.

He entered a profound state of no form, no emptiness, and no self.

But Yi Yun's reaction was, in Tao Yunxiao's eyes, blatant contempt! (To be continued~^~)
