Chapter 085: Lightweight Technique Upgrade

  This chapter and the previous one were made up for yesterday's.

  As a cultivator, Li Wenjun had many ways to kill a rabbit, but he wanted to do it without using other means, relying solely on his light body technique, just like catching a rabbit that was escaping with its life, which wasn't an easy task.

  The rabbit rushed to the front of Li Wenjun, and was the first to climb to the top of the hill. Then it galloped down the mountain at a faster speed because it was downhill.

  When Li Wenjun rushed to the top of the mountain, the rabbit had pulled further away from him. Li Wenjun took a deep breath and continued to chase after the rabbit.

  Before long, one man and one rabbit arrived at the valley. The rabbit darted into a grass nest and completely disappeared from sight.

  Li Wenjun walked to the side of the grass nest, pulled open the grass, and took a look. There was a rabbit hole here, with an entrance about the size of a bowl. The cunning rabbit had three burrows, and the rabbit had entered the hole. Now, wanting to get it out and have it accompany him in his practice, that would require some skill.

  Li Wenjun shook his head and stopped bothering with the rabbit. He thought back to the process of chasing this rabbit earlier, although it was just a matter of crossing a mountain ridge, from one side of the ridge to the other, the distance was only about 200-300 meters, but the impact on him was huge.

  Li Wenjun has been practicing qinggong for several months, from mastering the skill to now. He had used it to kill Wang Yonggui and Jiang Shan before, thinking he was quite proficient in it. However, after chasing a rabbit this time, he discovered many shortcomings.

  One of the most obvious shortcomings is that the speed is not fast enough. If it were fast enough, even a rabbit could be caught up with. The slow speed may have something to do with the limitations of the light body technique itself, but Li Wenjun believes that the bigger reason is that he has not yet fully mastered the skills of the light body technique. If the skills can be grasped, I believe that the light body technique still has great potential to tap into.

  There is still a long time to use the light body technique, and it should be reasonable to slow down the consumption of Fa Li, but Li Wenjun found that it was not so. His consumption speed of Fa Li did not slow down at all, and it remained at a normal speed, even slightly increased.

  This problem is more deadly than speed, and magic power is one of the fundamentals of a cultivator. Without magic power, he would become no different from an ordinary person. Once encountering an enemy, he could only wield his Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife like a roughneck and engage in close combat with the enemy.

  Li Wenjun sat on a rock, analyzing the various shortcomings he had discovered and trying to find ways to address them.

  After deliberating for nearly half an hour, Li Wenjun had a bit of an idea. He stood up and once again employed his Light Body Technique, running towards the top of the mountain. His speed wasn't fast; he hadn't thought of a way to counterattack yet, but as for how to conserve his magical energy, he did have a bit of an idea.

  Strictly speaking, light body technique is not flight technique, it's more like giving the cultivator a long-distance jumping ability. By borrowing force in the instant of landing and taking off, the cultivator bounces up with a relatively large speed and glides through the air for a period of time.

  Li Wenjun had been using his Light Body Technique throughout the process, constantly outputting magical power. This time, after some thought, he decided to change this approach. When he jumped to the highest point and slid down, he would cut off the output of magical power, and only resume outputting when he was about to hit the ground.

  It's easy to think of it, but hard to do it.

  It's not easy to grasp the timing accurately, it's not that you can do well just by wanting to. Li Wenjun was either ahead of time or lagging behind at first. When he glided to the highest point, whether it was ahead of time or lagging behind, the impact was not great, and at most, he could only fail to reach the normal value at the highest point. However, when he landed, failing to grasp the timing would cause big trouble.

  Advance recovery of magical power is fine, but when he's late, it makes him unable to control his body in time, resulting in a bruised nose and swollen face, which is quite normal. Sometimes, he'll even get hit by stones or scratched by thorny shrubs, leaving wounds and blood splattering everywhere, which is also a common occurrence.

  Li Wenjun simply dealt with it each time and continued to practice hard. By the end, he didn't even know how many times he had fallen or tumbled, or how many wounds had appeared on his body.

  In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Li Wenjun stood on a mountain peak, gazing at another one in the distance, his tiger-like eyes gleaming with eagerness to try. After these five days of arduous training, he thought he had grasped the corresponding skills and this time he wanted to test them personally.

  I will definitely succeed!

  Li Wenjun psyched himself up, took a deep breath, and activated his Light Body Technique. With the tip of his foot tapping the ground, he charged down from the mountain top towards the valley below. Like a wild goose spreading its wings to soar, he rose into the air, the mountain wind whistling past his ears. The gap between him and the slope grew larger and larger, and soon he reached the highest point.

  Li Wenjun accurately grasped the timing, cutting off the supply of Fa power, his body relying on inertia, rapidly advancing forward. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he again accurately seized the moment before landing and restored the supply of Fa power, his toes touching the ground, and then charged out once more.

  After a while, Li Wenjun stood on another mountain head, he looked back at the mountain head where he had just stood with joy, clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

  He succeeded.

  His success was not only in reducing the consumption speed of Fa Li, but also in discovering that using this method, the overall speed was even faster than before. This was equivalent to solving the two problems he had discovered at once, and how could he not be happy about it.

  Li Wenjun decided to find another rabbit to practice and see how it actually worked.

  After wandering in the mountains for a while, the rabbit was nowhere to be found, but he discovered a group of mountain chickens. Li Wenjun rushed towards this group of mountain chickens.

  The pheasant, frightened, let out a terrified cry and scattered in all directions. Li Wenjun rushed into the chicken coop like a yellow weasel, his movements quick and agile, chasing after a pheasant, stretching out his hand to grab it.

  The pheasant flew up, not as agile as other birds, and its flight was quite clumsy. The pheasant that Li Wenjun had his eyes on did not manage to dodge and was caught by the leg in an instant.

  The pheasant, unwilling to surrender, pecked at Li Wenjun's hand and was flung far away with a single swing of his arm. Afterwards, Li Wenjun chased after the other pheasants that had escaped further away.

  Very soon, more than a dozen pheasants in this nest did not escape Li Wenjun's poisonous hand, and they were all caught one by one. If it were placed in the past, it would be almost unimaginable, but this time, the speed of the light body technique was increased, the consumption speed of the law was slowed down, and what could not be done before became a reality.

  Li Wenjun chose a relatively fat pheasant with great satisfaction, carried it away from the flock, found a place and started cooking.
