Chapter 60: Learned the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique in One Day?

You Yilin immediately stopped his sword in the air when he saw that scene.
Lin Qi did not notice that You Yilin had arrived and was still adapting to the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique at that moment.
He would not be able to use that practically in the battle if he could fully understand the meaning in it, even if he had learned it.
Sometimes, it would even drag him down!
Lin Qi was clear about that.
Therefore, Lin Qi, who had learned the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique, did not dare to delay.
He would practice it in his residence since using the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique in the public training area was too high-profile.
He could perform it as he wanted since there was no one else there.
Unfortunately, someone still saw that.
...
You Yilin was sure that Lin Qi had learned the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique after observing for a while from afar.
That shocked him greatly.
One had to know that the Baiyun Mantra was just the basic beginner technique.
It was not difficult to perform it. It could be performed immediately after getting to know the tactic of it.
That was why the Baiyun Mantra was used in the apprentice test, allowing new disciples to try it out.
But the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique was different.
It was impossible to achieve Lin Qi’s level without more than a year of hard training.
Perhaps some people would be puzzled when they heard You Yilin’s thoughts.
Why did it take some people three years to cultivate the Baiyun Mantra but took only one year to cultivate the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique?
It was because the Baiyun Mantra was based on the cultivator’s use of the essential Qi in his body.
Learning the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique would not be difficult as long as he found this trick and had the Baiyun Mantra as the foundation.
Learning the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique in a short period would not be that shocking if it was an ordinary being.
But Lin Qi was out of that category.
He was able to perform the Baiyun Mantra exceptionally for the first time.
That could prove that Lin Qi was a genius.
But the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique was different.
It was impossible to perform the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique with such ease without a long experience in using cultivation techniques.
That was why You Yilin was so shocked.
He was shocked, but he could not casually ignore such matters.
You Yilin immediately turned around, flew on his sword, and headed for the main branch of the Baiyun Sect.
...
There was a dedicated training room under the Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao on the main peak of the Baiyun Sect.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was carefully guiding Zhang Wu to learn the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique.
“Yes, that’s it. Use your heart to feel the aura in your body and condense this aura under your feet.”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao could tell at a glance where Zhang Wu should adjust at that moment and gave him a suggestion by looking at Zhang Wu’s action of closing his eyes and controlling the aura.
Sure enough, Zhang Wu immediately found the trick after Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao guided him.
There was a faint surge of air under his feet.
Although it was weak, it was proof that he had successfully performed the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique.
Zhang Wu happily put away the use of the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique, bowed to Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao, and said, “Thank you for your guidance, master. This disciple has understood!”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was more and more satisfied when he looked at this new disciple in front of him.
Although Lin Qi’s talent was even rarer than Zhang Wu’s, that was only the Baiyun Mantra.
Some people were born with talent in using the aura in their bodies.
However, Zhang Wu was a seedling with good aptitude. That was beyond doubt.
So what if Lin Qi learned the Baiyun Mantra quickly.
The key was to see if he learned the other techniques quickly.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao comforted himself in his heart.
Zhang Wu, on the other hand, coincidentally had the same thought.
‘Wait and see, Lin Qi. Although my Baiyun Mantra is not as good as you, I have already mastered the tricks of the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique.’
‘I will surpass you in time so that you will never be able to catch up with me!’
Zhang Wu thought to himself.
He finally had the feeling of regaining his identity as the “number one new disciple”.
He could quickly learn a new cultivation technique and surpassed other disciples after receiving the attention of the Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.
That was the treatment he deserved!
That was how his life should be!
What was Lin Qi to him? Could it be that he could learn the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique without the guidance of the Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao with just himself trying to understand the cultivation technique by himself in the public training hall?
Wouldn’t it be too absurd if Lin Qi could learn the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique that quick?
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Then, You Yilin’s voice sounded from outside the training room, “Master, it’s me, Yilin.”
The joy on Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao grew when he heard that it was You Yilin.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was a little depressed after Lin Qi rejected his offer.
The two proud disciples, Zhang Wu and Yilin, made Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s depressed mood dispersed a little.
“Yilin, come in quickly.”
“Yes.”
You Yilin gently pushed open the door with Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s permission.
You Yilin immediately understood upon seeing Zhang Wu next to Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.
It seemed that his master was guiding Zhang Wu in his cultivation.
“Junior Zhang, what are you cultivating?” You Yilin asked with a smile.
Although Zhang Wu was not as good as Lin Qi in You Yilin’s heart, Zhang Wu was still a seedling after all, and he was also a junior from the same branch. So You Yilin naturally took care of Zhang Wu.
“Reporting to senior, I’m practicing the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique.”
Zhang Wu’s face filled with pride after saying that.
However, You Yilin slightly frowned when he heard that.
Zhang Wu was practicing the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique too?
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao seemed to have misunderstood and explained when he saw You Yilin frowning, “I saw that Zhang Wu’s aptitude was not bad, and he seemed to have some experience in using the Baiyun Mantra. So I let him try it out.”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao wanted to tell You Yilin that letting Zhang Wu practice the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique was his idea.
You Yilin would criticize him with his personality if a new disciple started practicing the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique on the second day of cultivation.
He would say that the disciple was learning how to run before he had learned how to walk. It was an act of aiming for too high to You Yulin.
However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao misunderstood You Yilin’s frowning expression.
How would You Yilin not know that Zhang Wu was talented?
It was the right choice to let Zhang Wu try to practice the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique first.
However...
If Zhang Wu knew that he had lost to Lin Qi in the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique once again...
It would probably be a heavy blow to Zhang Wu.
The mentality of a cultivator was important.
It could well lead to a disaster if one’s mentality were wrong!
...
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao asked in puzzlement upon seeing that You Yilin was still frowning, “What’s wrong, Yilin? Do you have a different opinion?”
You Yilin shook his head and said upon hearing that, “Master, Yilin also thinks that it’s beneficial for Junior Zhang to practice the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique at this time, but...”
You Yilin hesitated for a moment, but he still said it out in the end.
“But Lin Qi is also practicing the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique, and...”.
“He had already mastered it today.”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and Zhang Wu’s face turned pale due to the shock when they heard that.
