Seeing that his scheme had worked, the old man from Kusagakure immediately chose to flee.
Yet Ye Chen, who had still been "learning to walk" moments earlier, abruptly quickened his pace.
Like an ordinary person, he began running swiftly on his own two feet.
His running movements were still crooked and unsteady, as though he might fall at any moment.
But his course was perfectly clear: he was heading straight for the old man from Kusagakure.
As Ye Chen kept running, he grew faster and faster, his steps increasingly steady.
Ye Chen was like a disabled person who was deaf, blind, and cut off from all his senses.
At first, he needed time to adjust to this entirely different body.
When Ye Chen had watched the original story, Rock Lee had likewise countered Genjutsu by shutting off his senses when he encountered it.
Because he had practiced Taijutsu for so long, using his body had already become instinctive.
Thus, after shutting off his senses, his ability to move had not been greatly restricted.
Ye Chen, however, was different. He was not a Taijutsu specialist.
After shutting off his senses, he needed some time to familiarize himself with his body.
Fortunately, his exceptional talent allowed him to familiarize himself with his body far faster than an ordinary person.
Coupled with the system's precise "positioning" function, Ye Chen's target remained perfectly clear, even though his steps were unsteady.
The old man from Kusagakure wanted to flee? Naturally, Ye Chen would not allow it.
That was why he quickened his pace and gave chase.
As he kept running, he discovered to his surprise that his control over his body was improving rapidly.
That was also why he ran faster and more steadily with every step.
Ye Chen had never expected this desperate measure
