Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

"As expected!" Wu Feng's lips curled up, confirming without hesitation.

Another stream of information flowed in, containing the essentials of the Lesser Formless Skill.

With its formless and intangible power, it drives all the forms and techniques of martial arts, emphasizing the profound meaning of the spirit and form of the internal power circulation.

"That kid Duan Yu only learned the basics of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill. He got dizzy and disoriented after absorbing a little internal energy, but he missed the Lesser Formless Skill that was right in front of him."

Wu Feng shook his head, but considering Duan Yu's personality and experiences, it wasn't hard to understand.

This may have been a secret legacy left by Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui to the successors of the Xiaoyao Sect, which can only be fully obtained by those who are destined and capable.

Having acquired two top-tier internal martial arts techniques, Wu Feng was in high spirits.

He looked down into the bottom of the recess, where a thin booklet made of an unknown leather lay.

Picking up the booklet, the cover bears four characters written in ancient seal script: Lingbo Weibu (凌波微步).

This time, the moment my hand touched the booklet, the familiar system notification popped up:

[Martial arts manual "Lingbo Weibu" (a top-tier lightness skill) discovered. Learning requirements: Comprehension ≥ 200. Want to learn it?]

"The manual and the diagram are indeed different." Wu Feng glanced at the requirements and realized that he had already far surpassed them, so he immediately chose to "learn".

The manual in his hand transformed into streams of light and entered his body, flooding his mind with a wealth of ingenious techniques regarding footwork, orientation, body movements corresponding to the hexagrams of the I Ching, and coordination with internal energy.

[System notification: You have learned "Lingbo Weibu" (a first-class light-body skill).]

Under the Lightness Skills category in the skill bar, a new line of ethereal and otherworldly text suddenly appeared: 【Lingbo Weibu (Beginner 0/200000)】.

To even get started, you need 200,000 proficiency points and top-tier lightness skill; the requirements are indeed demanding.

Wu Feng carefully rolled up the essential diagram of the male-female image on the ground.

The diagram did not disappear after he learned martial arts, which clearly indicates that it was a special item that could be repeatedly studied and understood.

He carefully put the map, along with the previous scroll of the woman's portrait, into his backpack.

Then, his gaze fell on the white jade statue of a beautiful woman.

I walked up to the jade statue and gently touched it. The jade was warm and cool to the touch, and the carving was truly a masterpiece.

With a slight thought, he tried to put it into his backpack.

Swish.

The jade statue vanished from its original spot and reappeared in the backpack slot.

Wu Feng was slightly taken aback and looked at the item description:

[Exquisite Jade Statue (Quest Item)]: A white jade statue of a beautiful woman, crafted with unparalleled skill, seemingly imbued with the sculptor's profound emotions. You should perhaps find its owner; you might receive some unexpected rewards.

"A quest item? Find its owner... Wu Yazi?" Wu Feng's eyes widened slightly, then a playful smile appeared on his face.

This was an unexpected bonus.

I thought that clearing out this place would be the end of it, but I didn't expect that the jade statue itself was connected to a hidden quest later on.

"Wu Yazi is still alive, living in the Deaf-Mute Valley of Leigu Mountain. What reward will I get if I find him and return the jade statue?"

His mind raced. "I've already mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Lesser Formless Art. What else could he possibly give me? Could it be... triggering a hidden event involving Wu Yazi's transfer of power?"

Wu Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the still unfathomable power of Wu Yazi, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, who was ambushed by Ding Chunqiu.

Although he has his own path, if he could obtain a body full of pure Northern Darkness True Qi for free, or receive guidance, or some secret teachings from the Free and Unfettered Sect, it would be a huge help.

"It's worth the trip," he decided.

Leigu Mountain is also located in the Central Plains, which does not conflict with his plans to return to sell gold and explore the Murong family and other destinations.

There was nothing else in the cave. He turned around and walked towards the cave entrance without looking back.

Bending down, I crawled out of the narrow passage and stood back on the small, sloping platform on the cliff edge.

The mountain wind was biting, making my robes flutter loudly.

He looked up at the towering cliff above and estimated the distance.

The internal energy surged, and the newly learned "Lingbo Weibu" mental technique flowed naturally, combined with the already perfected "Tiyun Zong" lifting technique.

With a light touch of the toes on the edge of the platform, her body soared into the sky like a graceful swift!

He used the protrusions on the cliff face several times to gain leverage, his movements were agile and graceful, showing more composure and unpredictability than when he came down.

In just a few breaths, the person landed steadily on the solid ground at the top of the cliff.

The cliff remained deserted, the morning mist had long since dissipated, and sunlight streamed down. The distant shouts from the Wuliang Sect's East Training Grounds further accentuated the tranquility of the place.

"It's perfect that no one's around." Wu Feng lowered his straw hat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a blurry gray shadow and sped down the mountain ridge.

The dark blue-clad customer service representative flashed by among the trees.

Using the newly learned "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique) to travel, the feeling was indeed different.

With each step, the direction of the hexagrams in the I Ching was subtly aligned. The figure moved erratically on the official road, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, seemingly meandering, but in reality, the speed of progress was extremely fast. Moreover, the amount of true energy consumed was far less than that of running at full speed with the "Ladder Cloud Leap" technique. It relied more on a clever "momentum" to move.

His robes fluttered, exuding an indescribable elegance and grace. Combined with his current agility, it truly seemed as if he were walking on air.

[Lingbo Weibu Proficiency +210]

[Lingbo Weibu Proficiency +210]

The cue at the edge of the field of vision jumps steadily.

It is indeed a first-class lightness skill; even though it is only at the beginner level, it has already achieved good results.

Heading south, towards Dali City.

After running for about half an hour, Wu Feng stopped when he passed a clearing in the woods.

Some level 25 [Forest Bandits] spawned in the open space, in groups of three or five, perfect for practicing swordsmanship.

He took an ordinary iron sword out of his backpack and held it in his hand.

The opening stance of the "Free and Unfettered Swordplay" came to mind. This swordplay follows an ethereal and ever-changing style, with graceful movements. As the sword moves unfold, the robes flutter in the wind, truly exuding an otherworldly aura.

However, when facing an enemy, many of the turning and looping movements are somewhat redundant in pursuit of aesthetics, making them less concise and efficient than Wudang swordsmanship.

"Too much showmanship," Wu Feng thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop.

Facing a bandit charging with a knife, he moved lightly, his iron sword drawing an arc as he unleashed the "Free and Easy Wandering" technique. Several cold stars trembled from the tip of the sword, enveloping the bandit's upper body.

The bandit parried with his knife, but Wu Feng flicked his wrist, and his sword move changed to "Clouds Emerging from the Peaks." The sword blade circled around the blade and thrust at the bandit's ribs from an extremely tricky angle.

The movements were indeed graceful and beautiful, with the sword flashing like a bolt of lightning.

But Wu Feng could sense that if he had used the Soft Finger Sword to wrap around the opponent's sword, he could have easily spun it away, or if he had used the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate, he could have struck the opponent's wrist with a single strike and crippled their weapon.

This carefree sword technique has more twists and turns, but less directness.

"laugh!"

The sword tip pierced the bandit's ribs, and blood gushed out. The bandit howled in pain and collapsed to the ground.

[Defeat mountain bandits and gain 150 experience points.]

[Free and Unfettered Swordplay Proficiency +210.]

Wu Feng sheathed his sword and shook his head slightly.

It's powerful enough, but not decisive enough.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't intend to use it against the enemy anyway.

The greatest reward is to reach the highest level of mastery, which increases attributes such as arm strength, agility, and internal energy.

He no longer focused on the practicality of swordsmanship, but concentrated on transforming the essence of the sword moves he had grasped into muscle memory through repeated sword strikes.

The sword light flashed in the forest clearing, becoming increasingly fluid, and the free and unrestrained sword intent gradually merged into the moves.

Although it was flashy, with the added strength of his arms, each sword strike was powerful enough to instantly kill these ordinary bandits.

[Free and Unfettered Swordplay Proficiency +210.]

[Free and Unfettered Swordplay (Proficient). Arm Strength +3, Agility +5.]

[Free and Unfettered Swordplay Proficiency +210.]

[Free and Unfettered Sword Technique (Minor Success). Arm Strength +5, Agility +8, Internal Energy +2.]

……

Kill, sheathe your sword, and find the next target.

It's boring, but its attributes are steadily increasing.

The skill of "Lingbo Weibu" was honed through constant movement and dodging, and proficiency continued to rise.

As the sun began to set and the shadows in the woods grew longer and slanted, the bandits in the clearing had already been cleared out several times.

Wu Feng leaped and thrust forward with a move as swift as a flying immortal, piercing the throat of the last bandit before withdrawing his sword and retreating.

A familiar sense of connection spread from my wrist throughout my body, and I completely grasped all the changes in the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique, its pursuit of ultimate form and agile meaning.

【Free and Unfettered Swordplay (Great Perfection). Strength +25, Agility +30, Inner Strength +15. Sword damage +20%, Sword speed +10%. The swordplay has a slight "Deceptive" effect, which can cause the opponent to misjudge slightly.】

On the attribute panel, arm strength, agility, and internal energy jumped a little more.

At the same time, the "Lingbo Weibu" technique, which had been in use all along, also achieved a breakthrough as if it were a natural outcome.

[Lingbo Weibu (Proficient). Agility +40, Movement Speed ​​+25%, Slightly improved evasion ability, reduced resource consumption when moving through complex terrain.]
