Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 105 - 95 Vajra Eight Steps, Ancient Times

Thud, thud, thud,

Jiang Hao dashed away, stepping lightly over the water surface.

Watching him leave, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this evil cultivator everyone was talking about was actually a polite and reasonable person.

Then, Chen Yi looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, pressing it against his forehead:

[Vajra Eight Steps]

Following this, countless footprints and diagrams of meridians and acupoints as intricate as constellations appeared in his mind.

Chen Yi pondered over them, only to be shocked to discover that this so-called ancient Light Body Skill,

Was the exact same as the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada that he had been practicing!

Of course, the Vajra Eight Steps contained in this Jade Slip and the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada that Qi Ying taught Chen Yi were very different.

The Eight Steps Chasing Cicada leaned more towards the controlled release of power and a certain understanding of speed, while Vajra Eight Steps focused more on the circulation of meridians and the transformation of Vitality and Blood Power through special routes, leading to various amazing states.

For example, lightness, speed, shifting of body weight, and so on,

After seeing the martial method behind the Vajra Eight Steps, Chen Yi had a sudden epiphany.

It compensated for what was missing in the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada skill he had learned before.

Previously, Chen Yi could only explosively release power. When running on land, each step he took made him feel like a small bomb, creating a large pit.

On the other hand, someone like Jiang Hao was capable of leaping tens of feet away with a slight touch on the water surface. Chen Yi didn't even dare to think about ever accomplishing that.

While Chen Yi could barely hover over the water, the overall effect looked like a row of mines exploding, utterly clumsy.

As for the understanding of speed contained in the original Eight Steps Chasing Cicada, Chen Yi had only gained a slight grasp of it.

Now, with Vajra Eight Steps,

The moment Chen Yi incorporated this circulation technique of Vitality and Blood Power into the stepping method of Eight Steps Chasing Cicada,

It caused it to undergo a qualitative change.

Half a day later,

On the water, a figure clad in linen was lightly and swiftly leaping upon the water surface. In the blink of an eye, he had covered the distance of several dozen feet.

The water ripples he left behind were as negligible as a small fish blowing a bubble on the water surface, scattering quickly, and then melting back into the water.

The Light Body Skill: Vajra Eight Steps and Eight Steps Chasing Cicada were perfectly fused together!

Chen Yi could now switch effortlessly between states of lightness, speed, weight, and ruthlessness,

When he was light and quick, his movements required unparalleled little effort,

This moment, as he looked out on the seemingly limitless Spirit Mist Marsh, he even had the confidence to abandon the boat beneath him, relying only on this Light Body Skill, and crossing the water surface to return to the island.

Of course, this was just a thought. Chen Yi wasn't actually going to do that.

Meanwhile, when using the 'heavy' steps, Chen Yi could pool his Vitality and Blood Power into his feet. Each step was like an explosion.

With each stomp, the waves surged higher with a loud crash,

If there were any fish unfortunate enough to pass within half a yard radius beneath Chen Yi's feet, they would certainly be shocked to death.

While executing this 'heavy artillery' stepping method, Chen Yi felt that this should be the original method of the Vajra Eight Steps,

Because when he performed the 'heavy artillery' stepping method, despite the intense exhaustion of Vitality and Blood,

His speed was not only faster, but his power was even greater too,

Especially during a fight with an enemy, floating past lightly like a sparrow is of no use at all. He would end up just like Jiang Hao, shattered by a single fist,

However, if he used this 'heavy artillery' stepping method, with the weight of the Vitality and Blood Power rushing forth like cannonballs, even without using a special fist technique, this power would be enough to finish off body cultivators of the same level in seconds,

Moreover, while practicing the Vajra Eight Steps, Chen Yi could only faintly feel the connection between the star-like acupoints when practicing the 'heavy artillery' stepping method.

Perhaps, as Jiang Hao had said, the origins of the Vajra Eight Steps was not simple. It may involve higher levels,

And the key to unlocking it may lie in the 'heavy artillery' stepping method,

It refers to concentrating the full force of the body's Vitality and Blood Power in the legs during the stepping method,

In theory, if Chen Yi's body mass and power increased to a certain level one day,

He could shatter the space beneath him with one step.

Of course, it was not solely due to Chen Yi's talent that he could practice the Vajra Eight Steps to this level in such a short time,

It was because he was already practicing the Vajra Sutra, and with the understanding and inclinations of two worlds towards this martial method, that he was able to master the core of this stepping technique in the shortest time.

...

Two months later,

Chen Yi silently finished consuming a Red Blood Carp King,

His technique for catching Fish Kings was increasingly sophisticated. With his Dragon Capturing Hand, catching the Fish King was as easy as Chen Yi simply raising his hand and opening his five fingers,

It was as if the Fish King was suddenly flung towards him from a distance, aiming to rest in his hand, a peculiar sight.

Apart from that, Chen Yi had also mastered the Vajra Eight Steps,

He could now glide over the water surface as light and nimble as a leaf.

Although his speed couldn't compare to a Fish King, it was already faster than ordinary fish.

At the same time, Chen Yi could also use Wave Stacking Strength in the Vajra Eight Steps. When using the 'heavy' step, each stomp delivered a power greater than a punch stacked with six types of strength,

This step could perhaps become a hidden trump card for Chen Yi,

Especially recently, Chen Yi had been practicing converting between 'light' and 'heavy' steps,

Once Chen Yi was capable of freely switching between the different Vitality and Blood circulation methods in these two steps,

He would be able to chase someone down with extreme speed and lightness, before suddenly bursting forth with the "heavy artillery", delivering a swift kick,

Whether it's biting back while escaping or dealing a sudden blow while ambushing, the effect was bound to be impressive.
