In this chaotic world of martial arts, I'll become a god by adding skill points!

Chapter 110 Genius!

The first disciple stepped forward and took a few steps, barely managing to follow his memory.

His movements were sluggish, his steps were unsteady, and he almost tripped over himself.

This elicited a few low laughs, and the disciple, blushing, retreated.

The next few people were in slightly better condition, but they were only similar in appearance but not in spirit.

The footsteps were heavy, lacking the graceful flow and ever-changing movement of drifting clouds.

Clearly, he had only memorized the movements by rote and had not been able to truly unleash the power of the Formless Skill.

It was Lin Yunshu's turn. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, recalled the illustrations in the book, and then took a step.

After all, his physical constitution wasn't too bad, and he had memorized most of the movement techniques, so his footwork was fairly smooth.

However, the flow of energy was noticeably stiff, and the transitions between them felt rather forced.

It's not fast, let alone agile; it's like walking on mud rather than stepping on clouds.

He felt he had done his best, sweat beading on his forehead, and as he stepped back, he gave Wang Anping a defiant glance.

Next was Han Li. His steps were crisp and clean, with less of the gentleness of the clouds and more of the hardness.

Although he possessed abundant strength and moved at a considerable speed, he was far from achieving the lightness and agility required for the Flowing Cloud Step.

He scratched his head, quite frankly: "Elder, this disciple is dull-witted and has only managed to simulate a rough framework."

Shen Qingshu performed much better; his movements were graceful and his steps were light and agile, with a smooth and flowing quality in his transitions.

He clearly has a deeper understanding of the gentleness and change of the Formless Skill, although he has not yet grasped the essence of the ever-changing nature of clouds.

However, it was already considered to be both in form and spirit, which drew nods of approval from many disciples.

Elder Zhou's eyes revealed a hint of approval: "Not bad, you've already captured three-tenths of the essence."

Finally, it was Wang Anping's turn.

Under the watchful eyes of many, including scrutiny, curiosity, and Lin Yunshu's undisguised jealousy and eager anticipation of his downfall.

Wang Anping walked slowly to the open space in front of the hall. He did not start immediately, but closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, as if he was savoring something.

At this moment, he was even more grateful that he had come to this holy land of martial arts. If he had continued to stay in that small place of Zhenyuan, how could he have come into contact with such magical martial arts?

Just talking about the Flowing Cloud Step, even the worst one is a low-grade martial art!

Only now did he realize that there were such amazing martial arts techniques in this world. This trip was definitely worthwhile!

After thinking it over, he began to seriously prepare for the drill!

He didn't want to hide it!

The next moment, he moved.

Without warning, without any build-up of power.

Her figure seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze, and she floated away naturally.

With the first step taken, his figure left a faint afterimage in place.

Its true form appeared a few feet away like wisps of cloud, light and silent.

Then, the steps began, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward.

Its movements are unpredictable and unpredictable, truly like drifting clouds in the sky, gathering and dispersing without end.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, seemingly stirring up the faint spiritual energy within the hall and bringing with them a cool breeze.

His steps seemed light and effortless, but every touch of the ground and every turn contained a smooth and effortless change in strength.

This aligns with the highest level described in the Flowing Cloud Step Manual: the steps follow the body, the body moves with the will, and the intention moves, causing clouds to subtly emerge.

What's even more surprising is that the footwork seems to incorporate the steady foundation of Xingyi Quan footwork and the agile and flexible movements of Wuqinxi (Five Animal Frolics).

This adds a touch of solidity and unpredictable aggression to the "Flowing Cloud Steps," making them not only graceful and unpredictable.

Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon!

After taking only a dozen or so steps, the entire Transmission Hall fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the azure figure in the center of the arena that seemed to blend into the clouds and mist.

"Minor success! This is the minor success of the Flowing Cloud Step! To be able to achieve minor success so quickly, his Formless Skill must be at least major success! How long has it been, and he's already major success?"

"Holy crap, is this really just average physical constitution?"

"Innate talent doesn't tell the whole story; perhaps he has excellent comprehension skills!"

"Yes, this can only be described as having extraordinary comprehension. Only core disciples can probably rival this kind of talent!"

Everyone was stunned!

This—this was simulated within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, solely by flipping through a secret manual using the "Formless Skill"?

This clearly demonstrates the skill and presence of someone who has mastered the Flowing Cloud Step to a minor or even major level!

Moreover, the formless internal energy contained within it is so smooth and effortless that it clearly demonstrates an extremely profound mastery of this fundamental skill!

"How is this possible?!"

Lin Yunshu's face turned deathly pale, her fingers digging into her palms as she roared inwardly.

He absolutely refused to believe it! Wang Anping must have learned similar light-body skills before! It must be fake!

Han Li's mouth dropped open, and after a long while he murmured, "Good heavens—Junior Brother Wang, this is too outrageous—"

Shen Qingshu's eyes gleamed even brighter, and he sighed softly, "Turning the rotten into the miraculous—this is the true Formless Skill!"

Wang Anping stopped and stood still, his breathing steady, as if he had only taken a few steps casually. He looked up at Elder Zhou.

Elder Zhou's usually calm and composed face finally showed a clear hint of emotion.

He stared intently at Wang Anping, as if he had discovered a priceless gem.

The demonstration just now not only showcased Wang Anping's amazing comprehension and control over the simulated characteristics of the Formless Skill, but also subtly revealed his profound and solid martial arts foundation and his ability to integrate knowledge and apply it to new situations.

Such talent and temperament make him a natural candidate for cultivating the supreme martial arts of Misty Peak!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Elder Zhou said "good" three times in a row, a rare smile on his face: "The footwork is light and ethereal, the strength is smooth and unimpeded, and what is even more rare is that it can integrate its own strengths and subtly transcend the limitations of the manual, and has already grasped the true meaning of the Flowing Clouds."

Wang Anping, your Wuxiang Gong (Formless Skill) is far more than just a basic beginner's achievement. Your understanding of this skill has reached a high level, hasn't it?

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Anping quickly cupped his hands and told the truth: "Yes, yesterday my Wuxiang Gong (Formless Skill) was fully mastered."

He knew that this sacred place wasn't like a martial arts school, where if you had talent, you should boldly show it! Because only those with high talent could obtain good resources!

Moreover, this is a sacred place for martial arts! There are many people with extraordinary talent here, so this place is nothing special!

Elder Zhou nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

He then paused, looked around at everyone, and said with a touch of emotion, "The Formless Skill emphasizes enlightenment, accumulation, and the state of mind that creates something from nothing and gives rise to all phenomena."

You should know that techniques are static, but people are dynamic.

Wang Anping's actions today are clear proof of this.

I urge you all to diligently study and practice, and not to be bound by old rules.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wang Anping again, his tone much gentler: "Wang Anping, please stay after class."

These words shocked everyone in the room.

Elder Zhou keeping someone behind for a private meeting is an extremely rare act of favor!

Recalling the comments just now, everyone understood that this Junior Brother Wang was about to soar to great heights!

He is very likely to be noticed by Elder Zhou, or even other higher-level elders, and taken in as a personal disciple!

Lin Yunshu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as a mixture of jealousy, resentment, and despair gripped his heart.

Why? Why him again! He's schemed and plotted so hard, yet he's always been trampled underfoot! He's not reconciled!

Han Li and Shen Qingshu were genuinely happy for Wang Anping, and at the same time, a strong desire to catch up arose in their hearts.

Wang Anping remained calm. He had anticipated Elder Zhou's favor, but hadn't expected it to come so quickly. He bowed respectfully, "Yes, disciple obeys."
