The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2148 - 2137: As Swift as Thunder

Within the ancient Sky Inprisonment Realm.

After Ye Chenfeng had dealt with Jin Anning and the other contestants.

Now, as the master of the ancient Sky Inprisonment Realm, he could freely enter and exit this small world.

However, he didn’t do that. The preliminary round lasted ten days, and once the time was up, he would naturally be transported out. So, he decided to take advantage of these few days to properly train the Four-Star Secret Method, Thousand Thunder Flash, here.

Yun Yutang and Ling Wushuang were responsible for looking after Zhao Taiqing and Murong Xiaoyue.

In the ancient Sky Inprisonment Realm.

Somewhere within the mountains and forests.

Ye Chenfeng had long since memorized the method of the Thousand Thunder Flash in his mind.

The trajectory of Thousand Thunder Flash’s operation played over and over in his mind, and he needed to comprehend every detail in the secret technique.

After two hours.

Ye Chenfeng believed he had almost comprehended Thousand Thunder Flash. He then tried to operate the method within his body, only to feel a tingling airflow running amok inside him, making him feel out of control, and red lightning suddenly appeared beneath his feet as his figure shot out uncontrollably, completely beyond his control.

"Bang!" he crashed.

Finally, Ye Chenfeng’s body crashed into a towering tree, shattering it before his figure barely came to a stop.

Leaves hanging messily over Ye Chenfeng, he had already stopped operating the Thousand Thunder Flash method within his body. He asked in his mind, "Old Bai, Old Hei, what on earth is going on?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian said, "According to our research, the Four-Star Secret Method Thousand Thunder Flash increases the cultivator’s speed in a short time, so it’s necessary to simultaneously enhance all aspects of a cultivator’s faculties. You are not accustomed to this load, so we think that before you formally train, you need to make sufficient preparations."

"You need to find a rather wide river within the ancient Sky Inprisonment Realm immediately."

Without hesitation, Ye Chenfeng disappeared from the spot and soon appeared in front of a very long river.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian continued, "Old Hei and I have devised a training method for you: you must not operate your Spiritual Energy or use any skills, and stand directly on the surface of the lake. Once you can stand directly on the surface of the lake, you should start running on the lake’s surface, and during the running, you also cannot use any Spiritual Energy for assistance. You must adjust your own faculties until they reach a stable state, which is the optimal state for performing Thousand Thunder Flash."

No use of any Spiritual Energy? No use of any skills?

This is equivalent to asking an ordinary person to stand on the surface of a lake, which is almost impossible.

Back in the Secular World, Ye Chenfeng used Soul Force to run on the surface of a lake, which required careful control. Now, without using any strength, how would he stand or run on the lake surface?

But, since Old Bai and Old Hei had decided, Ye Chenfeng could only give it a try; after all, there were still several days until the preliminary round ended.

Ye Chenfeng calmed his mind.

Temporarily restraining the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians, his feet stepped onto the lake surface.

"Splash!" and he fell directly into the water.

Ye Chenfeng, without using any Spiritual Energy, was no different from an ordinary person, so how could he easily stand on the surface of this lake?

Ye Chenfeng, soaked to the skin.

He tried repeatedly, only to fall into the water time and again.

A day passed by in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chenfeng still couldn’t stand on the lake surface, and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian said, "Kid, you’re too impatient. Superficially, you’ve adjusted your state, but have you really stabilized your emotions deep inside?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian nodded, "The kid, Old Hei is right. It’s natural for you to have concerns in your heart and it’s not enough. From beginning to end, you’ve been thinking about standing on the lake surface, which means your emotions are hindered by it. What you need to do now is forget everything, even temporarily forget who you are, empty your mind and think of nothing."

Upon hearing this.

Ye Chenfeng seemed to comprehend something.

He immediately sat down cross-legged by the shore, slowly closing his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing, maintaining a certain steady rhythm.

He gradually emptied his mind.

As time slowly passed, he entered a state of self-forgetfulness, an incredibly clear state.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no hint of emotion in them, and he instinctively stood up from the ground.

His body’s faculties adjusted themselves to optimal condition, and when he stepped onto the lake surface again.

The moment his feet touched the lake surface, ripples spread out.

However, he didn’t fall into the water at all, and gradually, the ripples beneath his feet vanished, he really stood steadily on the water without using Spiritual Energy.

Back on the shore, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were filled with joy. He kept attempting to enter the state of self-forgetfulness, continually stepping onto the lake surface, and slowly, even without entering the state of self-forgetfulness, he managed to stand on the water—he constantly adjusted himself, as in battle one cannot afford to be in a daze, and self-forgetfulness is not suitable during combat.

Having adjusted to the point where he could stand steadily on the lake surface without being in a state of self-forgetfulness, Ye Chenfeng then needed to run on the lake surface without using Spiritual Energy for assistance.

After taking a deep breath.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly began running on the lake surface.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" sounded repeatedly.

Although Ye Chenfeng didn’t fall into the water, with each step, a part of his leg would plunge into the water before pulling out again, so his speed was slow and somewhat clumsy on the water’s surface.

Ye Chenfeng had to run as easily on the water as if on land to pass the pre-training preparation.

Therefore, he could only enter the state of self-forgetfulness again, using it to run on the lake, which yielded better results.

So, he repeatedly switched states, trying to adjust his body in this way.

Days passed by swiftly.

During these days, Ye Chenfeng kept adjusting his body, trying to run on the lake surface without being in a state of self-forgetfulness.

Running easily on the water surface without using Spiritual Energy is much more difficult than merely standing.

But after continuously adjusting for several days.

Ye Chenfeng finally found the optimal state, where on the lake surface, his feet stepped swiftly with only slight ripples forming, and his feet no longer submerged into the water.

Approaching the shore quickly, Ye Chenfeng.

Pushed his right foot against the lake surface, and lightly landed back on the shore, not having used any Spiritual Energy throughout the process, relying completely on his adjustments. After these days of adjustment, he truly felt as light as a swallow.

Now, the preliminary training preparations were complete.

Ye Chenfeng wanted to try performing the Four-Star Secret Method, Thousand Thunder Flash, once again, recalling its method in his mind.

As he operated the method within his body, a tingling sensation spread through his body again, especially in his two legs, as if an electric current was constantly passing through.

A sensation of the body losing control spread, and as Ye Chenfeng’s body swayed slightly, just as he was about to dash out uncontrollably, he quickly adjusted his state back, regaining bodily control.

Standing firmly in place, Ye Chenfeng.

The air crackled around him.

His calves and soles were enveloped in red lightning.

His body moved.

"Whoosh!" sounded in the air.

Dust rose from the ground.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure darted toward the lake surface.

A streak of red light flashed over the lake, splashing all the water up.

This streak of red light was so fast—like a speeding thunderbolt—leaving onlookers unable to catch up with their eyes.

The jets of water splashed from the lake had not yet fallen when Ye Chenfeng’s figure already appeared on the opposite side of the lake.

It’s essential to know that the lake was quite long, and even for someone at the seventh peak of the Spirit God Realm, reaching the other side in such a short time would be impossible unless they also used a movement secret technique.
