Xiao Shi had mastered the Fleeting Light and Shadow movement technique. Though he was still unfamiliar with it, that would be no problem with diligent practice. He had always been quite talented at movement techniques, and his skill was on par with Ling Tian's and Fairy Meng Shang's. Now that he had mastered this technique as well, his strength had grown even greater, which was good news for Ling Tian and the others.
Hearing everyone tease him, and knowing that Ling Tian had mastered the Fleeting Light and Shadow movement technique before him, Xiao Shi was so embarrassed and annoyed that he snapped, "Hmph! Ling Tian was already a freak. It's no big deal that he mastered this technique before me. But you lot are way slower than I am."
"Hmph, I'm almost there too," Fairy Meng Shang said with an indignant snort. But after glancing at Ling Tian, she lowered her voice considerably. "Of course, I can't compare to that freak Ling Tian. Who would've thought he'd master this technique without saying a word?"
"Heehee, Ling Tian's movements are quite practiced—not a bit worse than mine. I bet he's been practicing for a long time," Silver Fox said with a sweet smile. Then curiosity showed in her eyes. "Ling Tian, have you started trying the second movement technique?"
Ling Tian shook his head. "Not yet. Electric Serpent Movement builds on Fleeting Light and Shadow, so I plan to get as familiar with Fleeting Light and Shadow as I can. That way, comprehending Electric Serpent Movement will be much easier."
"Mm, that makes sense." Silver Fox gave a slight nod, then glanced at Xiao Shi and teased, "Otherwise, you might end up like Xiao Shi, unable to control yourself and crashing into a mountain or something. That wouldn't be good."
