Adding Points! Movement Technique Perfected!

"Bought it!"

He chose to redeem it without the slightest hesitation!

[Contribution points -30, current balance: 12 points]

The electronic manual for the Gale Movement Technique downloaded to his terminal in an instant.

Dongfang Yueming immediately immersed himself in it, committing the movement technique's qi circulation routes, footwork variations, force-exertion techniques, and everything else to memory!

Once he had fully grasped the essence of the movement technique, the panel refreshed again!

[Character: Dongfang Yueming]

[Realm: Body Tempering - Skin Tempering Realm (Jade Skin) (gains 2 points daily)]

[Cultivation methods: Basic Skin Tempering Method (perfection), Layered Wave Skin Tempering Method (perfection)]

[Martial arts: Basic Thirteen Fast Saber Forms (perfection), Gale Movement Technique (0/3, not Entry)]

[Points: 871]

Entry requires 3 points, a little more than the Basic Fast Saber. Looks like there's something to it after all, Dongfang Yueming thought as he looked at the panel.

But since it's a perfect match for my saber technique, its power definitely can't be lacking!

He could hardly wait to bring this movement technique to perfection with points and see what astonishing effect it would produce when combined with his perfected fast saber!

"This movement technique should be good!" He was extremely satisfied with his choice this time!

"Let's begin!" A sharp light flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes, and he didn't hesitate in the least!

"Add points!!"

Hum!

Three points vanished in an instant! A strange understanding of how to mobilize qi and blood, shift his center of gravity, and move swiftly within a confined space surged into his mind like a tide! The muscles in his legs also seemed to become more supple and springy!

The panel refreshed!

[Martial arts: Gale Movement Technique (0/9, Entry)]

[Points: 868]

Entry!

Dongfang Yueming felt as though his body had become much lighter, and he gained a completely new understanding of moving his feet and controlling his center of gravity!

Unable to contain his curiosity, he immediately tried it out in the cramped dorm room!

Following the initiation-level movement techniques in his mind, he shifted his feet and tried to dart sideways to the left!

However...

"Bang!"

Expectations were plump, but reality was skin and bones! His feet stumbled, his center of gravity slipped out from under him, and he fell uncontrollably toward the wall beside him!

"Holy shit!"

Dongfang Yueming was startled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and with the powerful bodily coordination and resistance to impact granted by the Jade Skin Realm, he managed to steady himself before hitting the wall, though his posture was rather awkward.

"Phew... this movement technique really is tricky!" He rubbed the shoulder that had nearly hit the wall, still shaken. "No wonder the comment section was full of wailing. The way you exert force and shift your center of gravity is completely counterintuitive! If I weren't thick-skinned and tough-fleshed (Jade Skin Realm), that would've left a mark!"

But this minor setback only fired up his competitive spirit even more!

"The harder it is to practice, the more powerful it'll definitely be at perfection!"

"Keep adding points!!"

Boom!!

Nine points burned away! More techniques for varying his steps, guiding airflow, and maintaining balance while moving at high speed flooded into his mind! His control over his body improved once again!

[Martial arts: Gale Movement Technique (0/15, Minor Accomplishment)]

[Points: 859]

Minor Accomplishment!

He had the feel for it now! Dongfang Yueming's eyes lit up, and he tried again!

This time, he could clearly feel how much smoother it was! His moving feet stirred up a faint whisper of wind! Though there were still occasional moments of stiffness and unsteadiness, he no longer fell so easily!

"Now this is getting interesting!"

"Major mastery! Charge!!"

Whoosh!!

Fifteen points transformed into a surging torrent of insight! The mysteries of the movement technique unfolded before him layer by layer! How to burst into astonishing speed with the slightest force, how to deceive an opponent's eyes while dodging and weaving, how to adjust his center of gravity at the limit... everything suddenly became clear!

[Martial arts: Gale Movement Technique (0/30, major mastery)]

[Points: 844]

The Gale Movement Technique at major mastery had already given him speed and agility far beyond those of ordinary people! He felt that if he used it with all his strength now, an ordinary Skin Tempering Realm martial artist probably wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow!

But this was not the end!

"Perfection! What I want is perfection!!"

An unprecedented light burst from Dongfang Yueming's eyes!

Boom-!!!

Thirty points, like the final fuel, detonated completely!

In an instant, Dongfang Yueming felt as though his body had broken free of some kind of restraint!

Wind! It was as if he had become the wind!

He no longer had to execute the footwork deliberately. Instead, he moved as he pleased, his body following his thoughts! His whole body seemed weightless, light to the extreme!

He advanced and retreated like lightning! He turned exactly as he wished!

Even within a tiny space, he could shift and move! Within inches lay the ends of the earth!

[Martial arts: Gale Movement Technique (perfection)]

[Points: 814]

He'd done it!

Dongfang Yueming's eyes snapped open, filled with an indescribable confidence and unrestrained ease!

With a thought, his figure vanished from where he stood!

The next moment, he had appeared at the other end of the dorm room!

Another flash, and he was back where he started!

The entire process was as fast as a ghost and utterly silent! It was as though it had merely been an illusion!

"Good! Good! Good!" Dongfang Yueming couldn't help praising it three times in a row!

The Gale Movement Technique at perfection was simply miraculous! Its speed and the strangeness of its variations far exceeded his imagination!

He even had a feeling that if he combined the perfected Gale Movement Technique with the perfected Basic Thirteen Fast Saber Forms...

That power...

Just thinking about it made his blood boil!

"I really did make the right choice with this movement technique!" Feeling the lightness and swiftness within his body that moved according to his will, Dongfang Yueming curved his lips into an extremely satisfied smile.

Now, he not only possessed ultimate defense (Jade Skin) and ultimate saber-drawing speed (perfected fast saber), but also ultimate movement speed!

Weaknesses? No such thing!

He was now a hexagonal warrior with no obvious weaknesses (budget version)!
