Chapter 28: Cloud Treading Technique

"Turns out, a speed of one hundred sixty meters per second is not even the limit of the new skill."

"The limit of the new skill is three hundred sixty meters per second, which is one thousand three hundred kilometers per hour! This is no longer a human supercar; it’s human lightning!"

"I am truly bowing before the screen in worship. Two months ago, if you told me that humanity could unravel the secrets of life and extend our lifespan to two hundred forty years, I wouldn’t have believed it!"

"A minute ago, I wouldn’t have believed that the human body could reach speeds over one thousand kilometers per hour without any instruments!"

"Moreover, even exceeding the speed of sound, there isn’t even a sonic boom. It seems Yi Chen has solved that issue too."

"I feel like I’m about to explode on the spot. Not being able to learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique has already left me restless, tormented every day."

"Now, there’s this new skill that allows humanity to surpass the speed of sound… Just thinking about not being able to learn it feels like I’d be better off dead."

"Exactly! Better off dead. Yi Chen is simply a demon! How could he create such an incredibly attractive skill?"

"God bless, I would exchange ten years of my life just for Yi Chen to have a whim and suddenly write down the incantations for the improved version of the Chaos Technique and the new skill."

"I would trade twenty years of my life just to learn it… Not being able to do so is driving me insane."

The audience in front of the screen, after the shock, fell into despair.

Everyone’s emotions dipped to their lowest point.

Not being able to learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique already tormented all of humanity, and now a new, highly attractive skill arrived.

It made everyone feel as though life was unbearable if they could not learn it.

"Yi Chen’s new skill is out, breaking human limits again!"

"After extending the lifespan by one hundred twenty years, Yi Chen’s new skill lets humanity exceed the speed of sound!"

"The god-like man created a skill that only a god could create!"

"It seems that humanity, which only relies on technology and not personal strength, has a chance to embark on another path of development!"

"A new magical skill that people cannot learn adds to public discontent, causing the stock market to hit new lows!"

"Why do thousands of research institutes not compare to Yi Chen alone? Just how strong is his talent?"

"The descendants of heavy criminals on the exile planet, deprived of their rights for life, saved the federal government a lot of expenses back then, but now they have put all of humanity in an extremely awkward position!"

"Learning through theft is shameful; not being able to learn from theft makes me want to die!"

Various major news websites quickly updated their front-page headlines.

The surge in traffic had the website owners grinning from ear to ear, with many announcing a doubling of salaries for all employees.

…

In the snowy field, after over twenty minutes of chasing,

Yi Chen finally spared the Lightning Ferret, ceasing the pursuit and allowing it to escape back to the cave since it had helped him test his skills.

As for whether the Lightning Ferret could escape another disaster after the Flame Mountain Tribe began to expand, that depended on its attitude.

As long as the fierce beast has some intelligence, the Lightning Ferret wasn’t very strong or highly intelligent, but it had a little.

If it knew to surrender, it could surely escape disaster during the expansion of the Flame Mountain Tribe.

If they still stubbornly tried to stop the expansion of the Flame Mountain Tribe after suffering losses, then there would be no way out for them.

After completing the tests and finding no flaws or omissions, Yi Chen called Guli and the others to return to the Flame Mountain Tribe via the same route.

“Tribe Leader, how could your speed just now be faster than the Lightning Ferret?”

Guli, mustering her courage, asked curiously.

Having listened to the Elders tell stories of Yi Chen’s miracles, she grew a bit reserved in front of him.

Rog and the others didn’t even dare to ask anything.

“The Cloud Treading Technique, a new skill I created, can greatly enhance speed.”

Yi Chen casually named the new skill.

“The Tribe Leader truly is a reincarnation of a deity…”

Admiration flashed in Guli’s eyes.

Rog and the others looked at him with even more fervent awe.

In their eyes, if Yi Chen wasn’t a reincarnation of a deity, how could he create a skill that makes a person faster than a Lightning Ferret?

As for whether they could learn it, they didn’t even dare to think about it.

If Yi Chen was willing to teach, it would be a blessing from a deity.

If Yi Chen chose not to teach, it would clearly mean that the deity believed they were unworthy of learning.

…

“Ah, these people of the Flame Mountain Tribe are just like those at the skill research institute, all useless.”

“One by one, in front of Yi Chen, they don’t even dare to speak. Even Guli only dares to ask a question. She wouldn’t dare to beg for skills or anything.”

“There’s nothing to be done; that’s the exile planet of the barbaric era. The tribe members deeply believe in the existence of spirits.”

“Under the high priest’s desperate promotion, Yi Chen is not only the leader of the tribe but also seems to hold divine authority.”

“Frankly speaking, Guli and the others are quite bold; at least they dare to stand in front of a deity.”

In the live room, the audience felt greatly disappointed.

A glimmer of hope they had worked hard to raise was shattered again.

…

Upon returning to the valley, Yi Chen went straight to his wooden house.

He did not enter a meditative state but instead set out to research a weakened version of the Cloud Treading Technique based on the original.

Most of the tribe members would only have practiced for three to four months before spring arrived.

Except for a few geniuses, in terms of realms, most would only reach the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Condensation Stage.

In this situation, the Cloud Treading Technique he created at the first level of Spirit Release was something most tribe members simply could not learn.

Even Guli and others, who had already broken through to the first level of Spirit Release, would find it challenging to grasp the Cloud Treading Technique in a short time.

To help the tribe learn the Cloud Treading Technique quickly and significantly boost their strength after spring to officially start the expansion, it was undoubtedly necessary to simplify it to the level of the Flying Blade Technique, which was easy to learn.

Creating the Cloud Treading Technique took Yi Chen two months.

However, improving a weakened version based on the original only took him an hour.

In the confused gazes of the audience in the live room, he left the wooden house once more.

Then, he ordered a message to be sent for all members of the tribe to gather in the center of the valley.

With Yi Chen’s current power and prestige in the Flame Mountain Tribe, his command was nearly equivalent to a divine command.

Men, women, and children of the entire tribe, no matter what they were doing when they received the order, immediately dropped everything and rushed to the valley center.

In just over twenty minutes, more than one thousand tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe had gathered in the valley center.

The cold winter had lasted for two months.

Thanks to practicing the Chaos Technique and having enough food, the tribe members not only didn’t look as thin and weak as in previous years, but they were full of energy and glowing with health.

Yi Chen was very satisfied with their state.

He didn’t say much and casually picked up a stone.

He began to record the incantations and energy circulation pathways for the weakened version of the Cloud Treading Technique on the stone wall.

At that moment, the audience in the live room widened their eyes, trembling with excitement.
