Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 613 Lightness Skill and External Skill
As soon as Yaro finished speaking, Bevan immediately suggested:
"Teacher Yalu, you once said that it is difficult for people to imagine things they have never seen before. Why don't you demonstrate to them what lightness skill is?"

"Demonstrating light-footed skills?"

Dorothea's eyes lit up, and she cast an expectant look at Yaro.

She was also curious as to why the so-called "lightness skill" deserved such a detailed explanation from Teacher Yaluo.

Yaro glanced back at Bevin, but hesitated for a moment.

He knew that Bevan wanted him to demonstrate the 'Dragon Swimming Technique'.

The Swimming Dragon Body Technique does resemble light-body skills, but no matter how similar it is, it is ultimately not.

After all, no one knows the exact extent to which the nature of internal energy can change, how much impact it can have on the outside world, or whether it can replace magic for spellcasting...

Martial arts are currently in dire need of development, and Yaro is short of skill points and time is tight. Therefore, many things may only be left with a general direction, waiting for them to improve them later.

If you go in the wrong direction, you don't know how many wrong paths you'll have to take before you find the right one.

He glanced at the women and, seeing the expectation in their eyes, could only explain:
"Well, lightness skill... it's not that it can't be demonstrated, but there's a small problem."

"What's the problem?" Bevan asked.

"My internal energy cultivation method is the 'Eight Extremes Method,' while they will be practicing the 'Wuwei Technique.' The different cultivation methods they learn will result in different characteristics of their internal energy..."

"Therefore, my lightness skill is not suitable for them to practice."

“I’m worried that my demonstration of light-body skills will mislead them.”

Yarrow's explanation is reasonable.

Let's not even talk about how everyone's magical talents are different.

Different exercises target different organs, and each organ has a different function. Exercises centered on the heart, which is composed of cardiac muscle, and exercises centered on the liver, which stores various nutrients, will definitely produce different internal strength.

Moreover, different techniques have different underlying principles.

Just like trucks that prioritize load capacity and race cars that prioritize maximum speed both have engines, but the materials and structures of their engines are certainly different. This is a change brought about by the underlying concept.

"Teacher, could you demonstrate it and then point out which parts are common and which are different?"

Bevin had no ulterior motives; he simply wanted to spread his teacher's fighting philosophy.

— People-oriented, combining offense and defense.

Yaro thought about it for a moment, didn't see any problem, and nodded in agreement.

"What you said makes sense."

After saying that, Yaro walked to the center of the field, turned around, and looked at everyone.

"Lightness skill, as its name suggests, is a martial art that reduces one's own weight, but its main kinetic energy still comes from the leg muscles..."

This statement is actually somewhat one-sided.

In fact, martial arts that primarily rely on physical strength and secondarily on internal energy should be classified as 'external martial arts,' which are considered low-level martial arts.

Techniques such as "Lifting and Leaping Skill", "Deer Spirit Skill", and "Leaping and Leaping Skill" can all be classified into this category.

True lightness skill should emphasize both 'body' and 'qi'.

Just like the "Heaven-Mending Technique," the body generates qi, and qi nourishes the body, in a continuous cycle until the limit is reached.

However, these girls haven't even entered the door yet. Just like when you learn math, you first learn that you can't subtract 3 from 2. Only after you have fully mastered addition and subtraction will you be taught negative numbers.

'Body' and 'Qi' both require strengthening the body first, which is the '2 minus 3 is wrong' principle of light body skills.

Yaro's leg skills come from the "Cat Walking Fist Tree Climbing Technique".

The Cat Walking Fist Climbing Tree consists of three parts: pounce, leap, and climb.

'Pounce' refers to the legs, 'scramble' to the waist, and 'climb a tree' refers to the head.

This legwork also became the footwork foundation for many subsequent skills.

Skills such as Instantaneous Movement, Fiery Sword Technique, Crescent Moon Sword Technique, and Swimming Dragon Body Technique all incorporate elements of the Cat Walking Fist Tree Climbing technique, with the footwork essentially being an extension of the "pounce" movement in Cat Walking Fist Tree Climbing.

And it was precisely because of this that Yaro's basic legwork underwent a silent transformation. He gestured for his apprentices to look at their feet, and slowly raised his heels.

"This is normal tiptoeing."

Continue lifting your heels up.

"This is like a ballet ballet, landing on your toes. Well, you might not be able to see it clearly because of the shoes, but you can look at my hands, like this... supporting the ground with the palms of my five fingers."

This looks a bit like a fingertip push-up, the only difference being that you're using your toes here.

Seeing this, the group didn't find it difficult at all.

Bevan even started standing on his tiptoes.

Then... he twisted his ankle.

Fortunately, he was doing this intentionally, focusing all his attention on his feet. He stumbled but regained his balance and did not twist his ankle.

However, his actions also attracted the attention of others.

Yaro asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

"I don't feel...good."

Bevin looked at his feet with a sense of unfamiliarity.

"I'm starting to doubt... is this even my foot anymore?"

"Shouldn't the legs be stronger than the arms?"

Why do I feel that, apart from my big toe, the other toes in my feet are so weak?

Seeing Bevin's bewildered look, Yaro couldn't help but laugh:

"This is because most of us don't usually walk with our toes pointed up!"

Upon hearing this, Bevan looked up and asked curiously, "Teacher, if that's the case, then why did you specifically bring this up?"

"Because one of the signs of mastering light footwork is being able to support one's body with the pads of one's toes."

This step sounds difficult, but if you replace it with your hands, you can hook your fingers into the gap and lift yourself up.

It is indeed not easy to hook your fingers through a gap and suspend your body, but it is not impossible. Many mountaineering enthusiasts in my previous life were able to accomplish this.

"As for the reason..."

Yaro looked at the women.

Have you ever paid attention to the lower legs of animals? Especially the hind legs of cats?

The reason Yaro specifically mentioned cats is because his beginner 'leg skills' teacher was a big black cat.

Therefore, the leg techniques he mastered could not escape the power generation pattern of a cat's hind legs.

The girls fell silent.

They may have all seen cats, but no one has ever noticed a cat's hind legs... Some may know, but dare not step forward.

Yaro didn't care. It was just a starting point, and it was also a reminder to those who were interested that, if possible, they could pay attention to how cats use their hind legs to exert force.

Yaro continued his demonstration, saying:

"A cat's hind paws are actually equivalent to our paws, and a cat's hind paws are actually just our front paws."

"The way a cat stands on its hind legs is actually the same way we stand on tiptoe."

"Many people unconsciously tiptoe when running at full speed because this action can enhance elasticity, better store and release energy, and enhance speed, agility and explosiveness."

"But this kind of imitation is still superficial. Without regular training and accumulation, the entire forefoot cannot exert any power."

"And the first thing to do in light footwork is to develop the strength of the forefoot, making it as powerful as a cat's claws, and to imitate the walking techniques of a cat."

Based on their walking characteristics, humans in the past divided mammals into three categories: digitigrade, plantigrade, and hoofed.

The goal of light-footed external skills is to transform humans from plantigrade to digitigrade.
