Sky Dance Technique

Mu Yang sat still for a moment, then channeled the energy within his body. With a whoosh, he entered an Acceleration Space, its primary color scheme a muted grayish-white.

The flow of time here was twice as fast as outside. At his current state, Mu Yang could maintain the Acceleration Space for three hours, which equated to six hours inside. Exceeding this limit would lead to mental fatigue.

Training within the Acceleration Space offered two benefits: doubled time and replenishment of the body's expended energy. It also had a calming effect, allowing for undisturbed practice and deeper immersion into understanding.

After the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, Mu Yang had gained a more nuanced understanding of the martial arts scene on Earth. Generally speaking, there were quite a few masters on Earth. The sect leader of the Maple Leaf Style, Master Xiulin of Dolin Temple, and Elder Nali of the Qianhe Style were all top-tier experts. Compared to them, Mu Yang still had a long way to go.

This was a gap accumulated through age and experience, impossible to close in a short time. However, in terms of pure Battle Power, Mu Yang was confident he would catch up to them soon.

Vast, empty, and white.

Inside the Acceleration Space, a strong and agile figure was performing basic exercises. He jumped with all his might, each leap nearly touching the "ceiling" above.

"9997, 9998, 9999, 10000!"

Mu Yang completed over ten thousand kicks and upward jumps consecutively. He stopped only when his legs began to ache and swell. Wiping the sweat from his face, his eyes showed determination, and he immediately started throwing punches.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The thin air vibrated with the impact of his fists. The violently oscillating air compressed against itself, emitting dull thump-thump sounds. It was a pity Mu Yang wasn't using any weighted equipment, otherwise, his training could have been even more effective.

He took out his Energy Detector and tested himself. The data displayed on the lens filled him with motivation.

97!

That's right, in just a few days, Mu Yang's Battle Power had reached 97!

Of course, this was his peak data during a full power-up. In terms of Battle Power alone, this number was not low; it had reached the standard of top martial artists on Earth, making him a force to be reckoned with in any style.

However, at this point, Mu Yang also noticed a problem: as Battle Power approached 100, the limitations of Earthlings began to appear, and the growth of subsequent Battle Power showed a clear trend of slowing down.

After several days of continuous testing, Mu Yang became increasingly certain of this. A Battle Power of 100 was a chasm blocking Earthlings, something that couldn't be overcome solely through physical training. Very few people had managed to cross this hurdle, and each one was an extraordinary martial artist.

And for Mu Yang, this hurdle had to be crossed!

A mere 100 Battle Power was far from enough; he needed to become stronger.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his mind. Mu Yang knew that the training time in the Acceleration Space had reached its limit. He calmed himself, adjusted the Ki within his body, and with a swoosh, his body vanished from the white Acceleration Space.

Returning to the outside world, the profound mental fatigue was even more jarring than the soreness from his muscles' prolonged exertion.

With a bang, he collapsed and fell asleep. After about six to seven hours, Mu Yang woke up, his mental fatigue completely gone. Next, he would begin practicing "Ki." Mu Yang's control over Ki was still very crude, mainly because he hadn't encountered any more advanced Ki cultivators yet.

"Perhaps I should go and try my luck at Karin's Holy Land..." Mu Yang mused.

But before that, he had a few things to do.

Karin's Holy Land was tens of thousands of miles away in the Northern Hemisphere. If he relied on walking, it was impossible to say how long it would take. Moreover, simple physical training wasn't as necessary anymore. Therefore, Mu Yang wanted to study the Sky Dance Technique. If he could soar through the sky, his speed would increase significantly.

The Sky Dance Technique was a secret skill of the Crane Style, but in reality, it wasn't a particularly profound technique. Its principle was simple, mainly focusing on the manipulation of internal Ki, though it was quite difficult to master.

Condensing the Ki in one's body and releasing it in the form of palms or fingers was a Ki Blast. By changing the approach and releasing Ki bit by bit through the soles of one's feet, circulating it around the body to counteract gravity, one could overcome Earth's gravitational pull and levitate.

High-speed flight using the Sky Dance Technique was similar to the "wave rider" technology from Mu Yang's previous life on Earth. By precisely controlling the shock wave surface, one could gain greater propulsion.

Mu Yang recalled the scenes from the original work where Gohan taught Videl the Sky Dance Technique. Compared to Videl, Mu Yang's foundation was clearly much more solid.

The unfortunate part was that the original work didn't reveal the details, leaving him to explore it himself.

After several failed attempts, before long, he managed to control a subtle stream of Ki flowing down his thigh towards his feet, and then release it evenly through the soles of his feet.

During the release, Mu Yang's body truly began to levitate little by little. As he wobbled and floated four to five meters off the ground, looking down at the green earth from above, Mu Yang's heart became exceptionally calm.

Then, carefully adjusting his posture, he steadily flew higher.

At this moment, the azure sky was flawless like a mirror. Below him was a lush and dense primeval forest, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and ancient trees densely packed. A sense of ethereal vastness arose within him.

Floating.

This was only the most basic part of the Sky Dance Technique; the next step was flight. That required diffusing Ki into all parts of the body, a step up in difficulty from simple levitation.

And for high-speed flight, it was even more crucial to precisely control the shape of the shock wave surface, turning resistance into potential propulsion.

Mu Yang gradually mimicked the training methods of Videl from the original work. Two days later, he could truly soar through the sky at will.

"The Sky Dance Technique is considered complete. Next, I'll head to Karin's Holy Land."

Mu Yang estimated that if he could climb Karin Tower and receive guidance from Korin, his strength would leap forward significantly, enough to cross the first chasm blocking his path.

Of course, his journey to Karin's Holy Land wasn't just about learning more advanced cultivation methods from Korin; it was also about obtaining Earth's miraculous healing medicine – the Senzu Bean.

In the early stages of the Dragon Ball world, Earth possessed many strange and unusual items, and the Senzu Bean was one of them.

In the early Dragon Ball saga, the Senzu Bean didn't appear to have much value, merely preventing hunger. However, in the later stages, it was an undisputed life-saving treasure, not only rapidly restoring stamina but also instantly healing any injury. It was a pity that in the later Dragon Ball sagas, the production of Senzu Beans sharply decreased, making a single Senzu Bean as precious as a gem, only to be used in critical moments.

But currently, the Senzu Beans hadn't been squandered by Yajirobe, and Korin still had a large stock.

"Let's go..."

Flying in the sky, Mu Yang let out a long cry and increased his altitude. However, as his vision broadened, just as he was preparing to fly north, an area resembling a paradise in the distance suddenly caught his attention.

It was a region shrouded in a light barrier. Mu Yang's expression turned somewhat astonished. "So it was right here all along. The place I've been searching for is actually right there!"
