Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1322 - 1302: Trying to Fly Before You Can Walk

Although it was difficult to navigate in the forest, and there were two wounded people, the pace wasn’t very fast. They occasionally encountered some pursuing soldiers on the way. Luo Qianqian, stubbornly wearing the Soul-binding Golden Bracelets that Yan had melted for her, held a dagger and fought them hand-to-hand.

She sustained numerous injuries, but thanks to Yan’s presence, she recovered fairly quickly. Huangfu Yihui and Yan repeatedly remarked that Yan was brutal. What use was close combat for a young girl? If her spiritual power was strong, wouldn’t it be better to maintain a distance attack?

Yan and Huangfu Yihui were both well aware that Luo Qianqian’s ranged attack abilities were very strong. Her small bow could compete with Huangfu Yihui, who had trained for many years, often making him question if he had wasted his time learning.

However, with the guidance of three people’s language, and deliberately revealing their trails, they occasionally got tracked by the pursuing soldiers behind them. Practical combat training also enhanced Luo Qianqian’s close combat abilities during this period.

Watching the fallen armored soldier, Yann Yao frowned and looked at Luo Qianqian: "You’re still not ruthless enough. Your speed and accuracy are okay, but you’re too lenient. If you hit harder, you wouldn’t need to engage for so long and end up injured."

Seeing the bleeding wound on Luo Qianqian’s arm, Yan silently took out medicinal powder and ointment and resignedly began dressing her wound.

"It’s not my fault. There have been fewer people recently, so I’ve had to be frugal, but this light body skill still confuses me." Not expecting to achieve their level of walking without leaving traces on snow or water, she should at least be able to leap into a tree without climbing, right? But after so long, she still found it beyond her reach.

"Is it possible that your cultivation technique is not good?" Huangfu Yihui looked at Yan. This cultivation technique was from Yan, and it shouldn’t be like this. After all, even the simplest medicinal powder in Yan’s hands was much more high-level than what could be bought outside.

"Because you chose the wrong practice method." Yan calmly dressed Luo Qianqian’s wound and checked the previous ones, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Who told you the light body skill should be practiced during combat? You can’t even walk yet, and you want to fly?"

On Yan’s face, four big words were written clearly: Foolish Dreamer!

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, then quickly understood Yan’s point. During combat, it should be about application. Unlike moves, the light body skill existed for agility and survival. She had misunderstood.

"So how should I practice?" Luo Qianqian, showing no embarrassment after being ridiculed by Yan, humbly sought advice.

"Isn’t this simple?" Yan calmly picked up a stone from the ground, tossed it twice in his hand, then threw it straight at Luo Qianqian. She instinctively sidestepped, avoiding the stone, but then saw two more stones coming from the left and right.

She had a basic sense of judgment. After a moment’s thought, she ran to the left, dodging the stone from the right. Without slowing, she continued running, and Yan threw a third stone. She kicked off a tree to take advantage of the force and leaped into the air, narrowly dodging the second stone. But just as she landed, the third stone hit her leg.

"Your anticipation is good, but how do you know I won’t continue throwing?" Yan calmly looked at the disappointment on Luo Qianqian’s face: "These are just a few stones. Who among you two wants to demonstrate?"

Huangfu Yihui naturally stepped out.

Luo Qianqian silently retreated behind Yan and watched Huangfu Yihui quietly.

Yann Yao, however, had a mischievous smile flash across his face. He walked to the other side of Yan. The two exchanged a glance and then both crouched.

In the next second, like the firing of a starting gun, the two simultaneously launched stones with such speed that Luo Qianqian saw only Huangfu Yihui lightly leap, stepping on a flying stone, and in a few steps, he sent the stones flying towards him from various angles crashing down, his body remaining spotless. After the two stopped throwing, he gracefully spun in the air before landing gently.

Luo Qianqian was amazed: "You can stand on a stone?" Especially one that’s in flight? The stone was moving, not stationary. In the air, it served as a foothold, slowing slightly when he stepped on it, enabling him to kick it up and hit other stones. It looked simple, but the stones turned into astral powder remnants after colliding, proving it was more complex than she’d imagined.

The differing heights and forces all landed under his feet with no mistakes. Such observational skills and reaction speed were what amazed Luo Qianqian.

"This is just ordinary qinggong." Huangfu Yihui saw Luo Qianqian’s expression and replied with a wry smile. If this kind of problem required a cultivation technique, what would be the point of his skills?

"Huh?" Luo Qianqian looked blankly, quietly watching the three, then sighed softly: "It’s a long journey ahead."

"Back then, when we practiced, it was mostly in a more open area, learning to move other things before moving ourselves. With different cultivation techniques, speeds were also different." Yann Yao nodded calmly. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Move things?

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, then took the Soul-binding Golden Bracelets off her wrist and handed them to Huangfu Yihui. She then quietly looked in Yann Yao’s direction, stretched out her small hand, squinted slightly, with a serious expression.

A gust of wind swept through the forest, making Yan take a second glance.

Even wearing the Spirit-locking Gold, Luo Qianqian cultivated daily during her rest time. Not forgetting for a day, Ling’s astonishingly powerful spiritual power surged out, and in the next moment, Yann Yao slowly lifted into the air, stable and without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Huangfu Yihui was stunned. He would never admit that when he’d first tried, he moved a piece of fruit. Looking at Luo Qianqian’s relaxed expression, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

With a slight gesture, Yann Yao appeared in front of her, standing steadily without a hint of impropriety.

Moreover, Luo Qianqian’s complexion seemed rosier than before, even when wearing the Spirit-locking Gold.

Yan looked at Luo Qianqian’s exposed wrist and the conspicuous silver there, a look of understanding dawning on his face.

Putting down Yann Yao, Luo Qianqian looked speechlessly: "This isn’t difficult for me, okay?" For a long time now, she’s been supporting her body’s weight this way. After all, if she didn’t, like these last few days, she’d leave deep footprints, revealing their trail. Not to mention the inns they stayed, even Flying Chickens might...

"I forgot you carry restraints." Yan nodded calmly, providing an explanation to the other two.

These past few days, Luo Qianqian’s movements were noticeably stiffer than before, even opting not to raise her arm for attacks she could perform from below.
