Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The principle is actually not complicated. It mainly utilizes the pressure difference in fluid mechanics. When a person pushes the pedal to generate forward speed, the water flows over the hydrofoil. The curved surface above the hydrofoil causes the water flow speed to increase and the pressure to decrease, while the flat surface below the hydrofoil has a slower flow speed and a higher pressure.

This is similar to the third law of motion, which basically means that it is about using a clever trick. As long as the speed is fast enough, you can "fly" on water.

The simplest example is skipping stones, which we played as children. A flat pebble can skip several times on the water's surface before sinking, as long as you throw it fast enough and at a tricky angle.

Although the Yangtze River is wide now, the waves are relatively calm. With his current skill level, having integrated the essence of the Free and Unfettered Sect's lightness skill, he can leap several meters into the air with all his might.

If this explosive power is combined with the principle of "skipping stones", could a completely new way of crossing the river be created?

The combination of science and martial arts, even at a distance of only a hundred meters, is worth a try.

Qin Han looked at the old boatman behind him, who was holding a long and tough bamboo pole in his hand.

"Old man, may I borrow your oar pole?"

The moment he finished speaking, the Northern Darkness Divine Art within his body activated, and an invisible suction force emanated from his palm, precisely enveloping the pole in the old boatman's hand.

The old boatman was just an ordinary person. He felt a tremendous force coming from his hand, which he could not resist at all. With a "whoosh", the pole flew out of his hand and into Qin Han's hand.

How could an ordinary boatman have ever seen such incredible martial arts skills?

Losing her balance, she sat down on her bottom...

Qin Han, of course, wouldn't take someone else's things for nothing. With a flick of his wrist, a silver ingot weighing about ten taels slipped out of his sleeve and landed squarely in the old boatman's arms.

This silver was one of the travel expenses Su Xinghe gave him back in Leigu Mountain.

"Old man, consider this a gift for buying this pole."

After uttering that sentence, he stopped looking at the dumbfounded old boatman and weighed the pole in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, under the astonished gazes of hundreds at the ferry crossing, Qin Han made a move that baffled everyone.

Qin Han channeled his true energy of white and gray into his hand and forcefully threw the more than ten-foot-long boat pole forward!

"Whoosh!"

The pole shot towards the center of the river with a whooshing sound, flying at high speed above the river surface about three or four zhang away from the shore!

Just as the pole slipped from his grasp, Qin Han slightly bent his knees, and his inner energy exploded from his feet!

"Bang!"

The bluestone pavement shattered with a crack, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions. Using this powerful reaction force, he was like a cannonball, moving faster than the pole, instantly covering several meters and catching up with the pole that was still in mid-air!

This scene was witnessed by Mu Wanqing, who had just arrived at the ferry on horseback. Her bright eyes were filled with disbelief and shock!

In mid-air, Qin Han's figure caught up with the pole, his right foot seemingly stepping onto an invisible step in the air, his body rising again, and then he kicked the end of the pole!

"Bang!" A muffled sound.

The pole vaulting was already fast enough, but with this kick containing powerful true energy, the speed increased again, changing the trajectory of the bamboo pole's descent and causing it to slam into the river surface at a very small angle!

After Qin Han delivered that kick, he landed steadily on the high-speed flying pole.

"Sizzling sound of water..."

The moment the pole touched the river surface, it did not plunge directly into the water as everyone expected. Instead, with its immense speed and precise angle, it glided forward at high speed, like a skipping stone, skimming the surface and creating a long white splash!

Qin Han stood firmly on the slender bamboo pole, his arms behind his back, his clothes fluttering, and his expression calm.

The river breeze ruffled his long hair, making him seem to blend into the bamboo pole beneath his feet and the river beneath him, exuding an indescribable air of freedom and ease.

He stood on a pole, riding the wind and waves, speeding towards the huge merchant ship in the distance!

All that remained for the people on the shore was a figure standing with his hands behind his back, gradually walking away, and a legend that would shake the lives of these old boatmen!

Crossing the river on a single reed?

No, this is a pole to cross the river!

Despite the distance being less than 100 meters, this miraculous skill instantly plunged the otherwise bustling Yangtze River ferry crossing into a deathly silence.

"..."

After a brief silence, a tsunami of gasps erupted!

"My God... what did I just see?!" A porter carrying a sack loosened his grip without realizing it, and instead stretched his neck and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"A deity! This must be a deity!" Another older boatman immediately knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing in the direction Qin Han had gone, muttering incantations.

"Old Wang, get up! This isn't some kind of immortal, this young hero... this great hero must be a martial arts master, a master several stories above."

"My goodness...can people really run on water? Or are they just standing on a bamboo pole?"

"This is a true master! I've spent my whole life traveling the martial world and have seen many people who know lightness skills, but... but none of them can do this! Walking on a pole on the river as if it were flat ground!" A burly man with a steel knife at his waist, who looked like a bodyguard who had traveled all over the country, was full of excitement.

"Yes! Even top-tier masters mostly rely on using leverage to move around. Being able to lightly touch the water's surface a few times is already considered top-tier skill. But this hero... he... he's controlling it! He's controlling that bamboo pole to glide across the water! What... what kind of skill is this? It's definitely not just top-tier strength, it's a Xiantian master? Such a young Xiantian master?!" His companion's eyes were full of admiration.

"Such elegance, such poise! ​​To witness such a miracle today is truly a worthwhile trip!" A scholar who appeared quite learned exclaimed, fanning himself with his folding fan. He even took out his brush and ink to paint, intending to capture this moment...

Among the crowd, the most excited was the old boatman who had just gotten up from the ground.

First, he stared blankly as Qin Han's figure disappeared into the distance, then he looked down at the heavy silver ingot in his arms, and finally looked at the white line on the river that was gradually disappearing.

He raised the silver ingot high and laughed at the top of his lungs, as if afraid no one would hear him: "See that! See that! That's my pole vaulting pole!!"
