Those strange trajectories that once required deliberate maintenance now came as naturally as breathing, at his fingertips!
His muscles no longer stayed tense. Instead, in a strange state of relaxation, they burst forth with even more astonishing speed and precision.
The greatest change came from his perception of the "wind"!
Fang Chen no longer merely sensed resistance. He could clearly "touch" the presence of the airflow.
As the blade swept through the air, he could feel the current being drawn along, torn apart, and churned by the blade.
