Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 196 - 54: Merging Technique Within the Thousand-Step Mist
Jiang Kui used his eyes to ask Ji Feng a question, to which Ji Feng rolled his eyes, "How should I know how to calculate it?"
Ever since he was responsible for recording the situation of trainees in this challenge, he had never encountered a trainee like Lin Chen.
He had seen others who walked further and faster than Lin Chen, but he had never seen anyone using a serpentine movement like him.
Some trainees relied on strong willpower; even when their minds were blurry, they could persist for a long time, with the furthest enduring up to three hundred steps.
But Lin Chen, having already walked six hundred steps, had far surpassed the strongest trainee in terms of step count.
Yet, in terms of distance, it was still less than half of the others.
Forget it, how to calculate Lin Chen’s score should be left for the higher-ups to worry about; all I have to do is record it.
Six hundred steps, seven hundred steps...
When he reached nine hundred steps, Lin Chen stopped.
Has he finally reached his limit?
Jiang Kui and Ji Feng, seeing Lin Chen stop, speculated in their hearts.
But in the next moment, the two saw Lin Chen’s movement and their eyes widened.
Lin Chen took out a book from his clothes.
"Gale Leg Technique."
The four big characters were clear to see, and the two exchanged glances again, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Was it what they thought?
Lin Chen took out the Gale Secret Manual, given to him by Hall Master Zhao yesterday, but he had only glanced at it roughly. The reason he took it out now was to make up for the only shortcoming in his abilities.
A deficiency in leg technique.
He didn’t know whether practicing the Gale Leg Techniques now would help him continue walking here, but he had to try; perhaps it would offer some insight.
Lord Jiang also mentioned that in every test, you should give your all to achieve the best ranking.
He had been walking for so long without anyone stopping him, which indicated that this time the test was not about time.
It was very likely that the criterion this time was to see how far he could go under extreme pressure.
Though the mist was thick, unable to see his own fingers when outstretched, if he raised them to his eyes, he could still see them.
With the secret manual placed before him, Lin Chen read carefully.
He was actually cultivating a technique at this time, and it was a new technique!
As a Grade-Entering Powerhouse, Ji Feng had also progressed from being a trainee, and no trainee carried a secret manual with them once they had begun practicing a technique.
Only those who had not yet encountered or had just encountered the technique, unfamiliar with it, would carry it for convenient reference. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Ji Feng didn’t know what to say anymore, and Jiang Kui had a similar expression. Lin Chen had mentioned that his Iron Bone Skill and Clear Wind Palm had reached Perfection, lacking only a leg technique, so the Gale Leg was what Lin Chen intended to cultivate as his leg technique.
Instead of being shocked that Lin Chen was cultivating a technique at this time, they were actually astounded that he could still maintain clarity of mind.
After a cup of tea’s time, Lin Chen placed the secret manual back into his clothes.
Thanks to having practiced the Flying Swallow Technique, Lin Chen’s comprehension of the Gale Leg Technique was smooth. He began adjusting his breathing rhythm, inhaling and exhaling according to the Gale Leg Techinque’s formula, directing Qi Blood to surge towards his legs.
The Gale Leg Technique emphasized "fierce" and "fast!"
In summary, it was incredibly swift and violent.
Lin Chen did not intend to practice the Gale Leg Technique here, but he did find some inspiration in its secret manual.
Leveraging forces!
What made the Gale Leg Technique so incredibly swift? One must know that when a body is airborne, its explosive power is limited, relying purely on its own force.
How can the kicks in mid-air be executed, one fiercer than the last? Apart from special explosive power, another reason is levering forces.
Each kick sets up the momentum for the next one.
The left foot steps on the right foot, ultimately stepping onto the moon.
Though the description is somewhat exaggerated, the true meaning of the Gale Leg Technique is precisely this.
"Since each step forward encounters enormous resistance, can I transform this resistance into a driving force, using it to advance?"
Lin Chen slightly lifted his foot, and at that moment, the trembling of his right leg was several times more exaggerated than before.
He aimed to achieve resonance with the pressure through the tremors.
Whoosh!
As he planted his foot, Lin Chen staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.
Failure!
However, Lin Chen’s eyes shone brightly; though he failed this step, his staggering forward had propelled him two steps ahead.
At the moment when the pressure landed on his legs, the terrifying pressure helped push him forward.
Leveraging forces!
This path was viable; it just needed more attempts.
Thus, Jiang Kui and Ji Feng witnessed an astonishing scene.
Lin Chen stumbled along, every step making the swaying of his body seem like he was about to fall, yet he narrowly maintained his balance.
After a cup of tea’s time, Ji Feng recorded: "Walked seven hundred ninety steps, stumbling..."
Half an hour later.
Ji Feng’s figure flickered, appearing beside Jiang Kui, and couldn’t help but write on paper: "How is he sustaining for so long?"
Jiang Kui remained silent for a moment, taking the pen and writing: "Perhaps because Lin Chen follows the Extreme Martial Arts Path and has cultivated the Iron Bone Skill to Perfection."
Jiang Kui couldn’t find any other explanation.
