The next day.
After getting up early that morning, Chen Yu began studying the two martial skills.
"Wind-Riding Art."
"Flying Sword Technique."
Both martial skills had come from the Immortal Ruins. Chen Yu started with the Wind-Riding Art.
"Qi scatters upon the wind and stops at the boundary of water. Draw the wind into your feet; let your body follow your intent. Graceful as a startled swan, treading snow without a trace-only by riding the wind can you discover its wonders..."
"Step one: sense the wind."
"Stand in an open, well-ventilated place, feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body slightly, settle your weight on the balls of your feet, and let your arms hang naturally. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Focus your intent on the Bubbling Spring Acupoints in both feet and sense the flowing wind."
"Step two: tread the wind."
"Channel spiritual power into the Bubbling Spring Acupoints, allowing it to interact with the wind beneath your feet."
"Basic step: alternate light taps against the ground with both feet. With every step, imagine wind rising beneath your soles, gently lifting your body and reducing your weight."
"Windflow step: move rapidly within a small area, taking short, quick steps. Like a breeze brushing willow branches, your path should be difficult to predict."
"Step three: race upon the wind. Mobilize the spiritual energy in your dantian to support your soles. Push off repeatedly with both feet, maintaining the interaction between spiritual energy and wind, and shoot forward like an arrow loosed from its bow."
After reading the training instructions for the Wind-Riding Art, Chen Yu nodded.
It did not seem difficult.
His home was already high up on Emerald Cloud Peak, where the wind often blew. As for sensing wind beneath his feet and having it gently lift his body during training...
