Left and Right

Zhang Xuezhou's feeling of flying was not a delusion.

He waved his arms, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him.

"Crane Soaring!"

The Crane Soaring technique from Crane Form Fist infused Zhang Xuezhou's body, and with a light leap, his body quickly retreated backward off the ground.

The pain from his head hitting a tree brought Zhang Xuezhou to a halt.

Looking at the distance of nearly thirty meters from the starting line, Zhang Xuezhou felt the power coming from his arms.

If there are no obstacles, he should be able to fly another ten to twenty meters.

He seems to have developed a remarkable ability to leap.

However, this kind of flight can only be performed backwards.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the trees blocking his path behind him, then swung his arms, only to find that they couldn't muster any strength to fly forward.

"I think I can fly now, but I'm not flying very properly!"

Zhang Xuezhou's arms lacked feathers, unlike the "Technique Within the Clouds" which granted demonic wings the power to fly, but he still gained the ability to levitate by waving his arms.

This contains the power of Gene Fighting Technique, but it also contains a power that Zhang Xuezhou subtly exerted.

Why are you running so fast?

Following behind Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Weimeng seemed to have not yet reacted.

Zhang Xuezhou did fly a little too low; his feet barely left the ground, by about ten centimeters.

If you don't pay attention to the soles of your feet, it's quite normal to mistake Zhang Xuezhou for running.

Zhang Weimeng clearly didn't notice anything unusual.

"I'll run some more!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.

A familiar feeling welled up in his heart, and he spread his arms, flying backwards like a crane once again.

"He can run this fast even backwards! Wait, Xuezhou's feet aren't moving!"

When Zhang Xuezhou leaped backward again, Zhang Weimeng finally noticed the difference.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou stop more than fifty meters away, Zhang Weimeng rubbed his eyes hard.

"The martial arts must be that 'Flying Sheep Walking on Walls' style!"

The Gene Fighting Technique that Zhang Weimeng acquired had a rather strange name, but it was said that after mastering this Gene Fighting Technique, one would possess the ability to leap across cliffs like a goat.

Zhang Weimeng felt that learning to leap over a vault was useless; it didn't sound impressive at all.

Wang Li's mention of the exorbitant cost of blood serums, often exceeding ten million, made Zhang Weimeng feel that it was not cost-effective at all, and that cultivating the One-Finger Divine Skill was far more worthwhile.

But when Zhang Xuezhou had already reached more than 50 meters away with just his arms outstretched and his feet not moving, Zhang Weimeng felt that Gene Fighting Technique like "Flying Sheep Walking on Walls" suddenly seemed more sophisticated.

This differed from the extraordinary martial arts skills he had imagined, yet it granted him abilities that were closest to reality, repeatedly stimulating Zhang Weimeng's unyielding heart.

"Crane Form Fist couldn't possibly send someone flying fifty meters backwards. The illusion of short-distance flight only arises when using leverage to deflect force. Could this be the application of spiritual power to Crane Form Fist?!"

Behind Zhang Weimeng, Ren Anran kept thinking about Zhang Xuezhou's name, and followed slowly.

She had witnessed Zhang Xuezhou crashing into a tree, and she had also seen him leap a second time, and even Zhang Xuezhou was eager to try leaping a third time.

Like riding a scooter backwards, Zhang Xuezhou's body moved with extreme grace, flying dozens of meters backwards in a short period of time.

This might be a rather comical flying ability, and its effects aren't particularly strong, but Ren Anran felt that he was seeing a completely new combination of the Mental Strengthening Chapter and another kind of Gene Fighting Technique.

Even compared to the intimidating Mental Field Control brought about by the Dragon Tiger Fighting Technique, Zhang Xuezhou's mental power extended in another direction.

That is a transformation from the abstract to the concrete.

"Mental power is like light; it belongs to non-material energy. This kind of energy is difficult to materialize and manipulate into objects with weight. How can he control the weight of a body...?"

After figuring out how to find a low-barrier Realm Entry technique, Ren Anran felt that Zhang Xuezhou had produced a second issue that required her to expend mental energy to think and deduce.

She stared wide-eyed at Zhang Xuezhou, who was floating backwards, as numerous memories of Gene Fighting Technique she had witnessed flooded her mind.

Just as Ren Yisheng deduced related information on a blank sheet of paper, Ren Anran was also constantly making deductions.

Any force needs an external structure to be effective.

For example, physical strength requires the use of bones, muscles, tendons, and other physical parts to exert force and influence reality, while the mental strength existing in the brain is much more difficult to exert.

The energy explosion of Mental Field Control is one such example. For instance, when Ren Yisheng went into Qi Deviation, he used his mental energy to create a shockwave, which destroyed many books.

It also possesses Mental Field Control slightly inferior to an explosion; this energy can mitigate the impact of rain within a small area.

When Ren Anran felt something stir in her mind, she suddenly thought of a figure who had once looked lost and dejected on a rainy day.

"He seems to be Zhang Xuezhou; he used to have the Mental Field Control to avoid rain!"

If avoiding rain in a short time is not a useful skill, and destroying books with a burst of mental energy within a certain range is a losing proposition, then using Crane Form Fist to lift the body undoubtedly falls into the category of useful skills.

This is how the Crane Form Fist of the Five-Star Combat Technique was forcibly transformed into Gene Fighting Technique suited to him.

A standard Crane Form Fist would be ranked five stars, but Crane Form Fist that suits one's own style will inevitably be propelled forward.

Ren Anran felt that Zhang Xuezhou's current Crane Form Fist might be at the four-star level, or even possibly reach the three-star level.

This isn't because Zhang Xuezhou lacked the necessary skills, but rather because the starting point of Crane Form Fist was too low.

If Zhang Xuezhou can find a match for himself in the Three-Star Combat Technique, he will inevitably be able to advance to the two-star level.

Ren Anran pondered the connection between Crane Form Fist and the Mental Strengthening Chapter, only to find that the more he deduced, the harder it was to understand the connection that formed the bridge between them.

Just as her mind began to go blank, she heard a call coming from the communicator.

The repeated calls brought Ren Anran back to her senses.

"Hey, bro, where's Zhang Xuezhou? Who's Zhang Xuezhou? Why did Dad come to see Zhang Xuezhou? I'm forgetful, I'm not forgetful, why do you keep saying I'm forgetful? Have I forgotten something again...?"

Ren Anran responded in a daze.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the dizziness that was creeping into her mind.

"Dad?"

"Did you learn anything?"

When Ren Yisheng's questioning voice came, Ren Anran suddenly remembered Ren Yisheng's previous entrustment.

"Is that bridge the boundary technique?"

The missing piece of the puzzle in my mind seemed to have been pieced together.

Ren Anran held the communicator, but she didn't respond to Ren Yisheng's question. She just stared blankly at Zhang Xuezhou's figure drifting backward from time to time in the distance.

The contents of the Heart Incantation and the Sunflower Manual kept swirling in her mind, constantly presenting two ever-evolving possibilities.

"The Heart Incantation condenses spiritual power, resulting in an explosive increase in deterrent force. The Sunflower Manual enhances the precision of the mind, thus improving the stability of technique control!"

A withered vine and an old tree appeared in her left eye, while a verdant ancient tree appeared in her right eye.

Despite the immense difficulties Ren Yisheng, Ren Wuyang, and others faced in Realm Entry, Ren Anran saw only a path where they had to choose between left and right.
