The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 316 Learning from Pain
The red mist dissipated from the dense forest.

A single talisman turned into ashes and vanished.

Landing beside the tree hole, Feng Ling picked up a broken object that emitted a faint aura with a gloomy look in his eyes.

It was a transparent, oval-shaped bead, likely a support-type magical artifact.

"Damn it! I'll catch them and skin them alive!" Ji Sheng was furious. Just as she was about to close her eyes and use her ghostly secret technique again, she heard Feng Ling say calmly, "Don't waste your energy. Their injuries have healed. Neither you nor I can catch up!"

"But are we just going to..."

Seeing the icy glint in Feng Ling's eyes, Ji Sheng instinctively realized he'd overreacted and swallowed the rest of his words. Perhaps he only appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, his heart was far from at peace!
Wandering freely, wandering freely.
It's... another carefree journey!
Since Feng Ling encountered Xue Zang and Xue Beng, the two have been launching a series of attacks, relying on the power of Zhen Tian Ci and the deceit of Xiao Yao You. Their attacks are like a persistent, insidious plague, while their escapes are like ghosts running away in all directions. This has left Feng Ling with a wealth of skills but unable to effectively utilize them, and he can only passively receive their attacks.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Ling decisively dispelled the black cloud mount that had been suspended in mid-air. Immediately afterward, a dark golden light flashed on his fingers.

Within the sealed ring, in a secluded corner, a long-forgotten scroll suddenly shot out as if summoned, landing directly in Feng Ling's hand.

We must learn from this painful experience!

For the next few days, Feng Ling held the sheepskin scroll in his hands and immersed himself in cultivation.

On the first day, Feng Ling focused on theoretical study.

He not only memorized the secrets of the Free and Easy Wandering Technique in a short period of time, but also understood its basic principles and hierarchical divisions.

The Free and Easy Wandering (逍遥游) is divided into three realms. The first realm is "Sports Movement," where the practitioner's movements are so fluid and unpredictable that enemies can only watch in awe. The second realm is "Locking-Off Movement," where the practitioner can maintain a constant distance from their target, leaving no place for the enemy to hide. The third realm is the true Free and Easy Wandering. At this level, the practitioner can shrink the distance to any point within their mental focus. When this realm is reached, the Free and Easy Wandering can traverse heaven and earth, reaching everywhere, truly achieving joy, freedom, and unbridled bliss!

It can be said that the overall effect of the first level of "Free and Easy Wandering" is similar to that of the first part of "Shifting Stars." Both are equally effective in this section, primarily focusing on increasing movement speed.

However, starting from the second level of Free and Easy Wandering, Free and Easy Wandering adds a function to lock the location.

This function is incredibly powerful; it allows the user to maintain a constant distance from the enemy locked onto by their divine sense, based on factors such as their cultivation level and the strength of their perception. Then, combined with the first level of movement techniques, they can close the distance between themselves and the enemy!

It's somewhat like the saying, "If the enemy moves, I move too; if the enemy doesn't move, I'm still moving!"

Furthermore, in the middle part of the story, besides being able to ignore obstacles and move through them, the most important thing is teleportation.

While the second level of Free and Easy Wandering does not involve teleportation, it can be used to lock onto targets in certain special circumstances.

For example, when Feng Ling was locked onto by the two avalanche players, he chose to use the "Star Shift" skill to dodge the "Heavenly Thrust" skill, but the opponents managed to achieve a synchronized teleport by taking advantage of the lock-on feature!

In this section, although both movement techniques have their own unique uses, the Free and Easy Wandering technique is slightly superior.

As for the third level of the Free and Unfettered Journey, Feng Ling had never seen it, and he himself had not cultivated to the final stage of the Star Shift, so naturally he could not evaluate or compare it.

"So that's how it is! Xue Beng and the other two must still be at the second level of the Free and Easy Wandering technique, locked in! Otherwise, during our last encounter, they could have easily used Free and Easy Wandering to get right next to me, leaving me with no way to avoid it!"

Feng Ling looked up and muttered to himself, then looked down again to continue studying the cultivation details on the scroll, completely ignoring the disturbing noises around him.

"Hey, what book are you reading? I'm talking to you! Don't go anywhere! There's a cliff ahead..."

Watching the man in black fall, Ji Sheng rubbed her forehead. Just as she was about to go down to save him, she saw him being carried back by a black cloud.

"While this Free and Easy Movement Technique is exquisite, I cannot neglect my Star Shift Technique either..."

At the edge of the cliff, Feng Ling stepped down from the dark clouds, turned around and headed towards another forest path, having already figured out the general direction for his future cultivation of movement techniques.

He primarily cultivated the Free and Unfettered Wandering Technique, supplemented by the Shifting Stars Technique. The two movement techniques complemented each other, taking their essence and discarding their dross, ultimately achieving a complete fusion of the two techniques. The next day, Feng Ling would occasionally demonstrate his movements, and sometimes take a few steps back.

Ji Sheng was still ignored, which made her so depressed that she wanted to die again...

The two, one human and one ghost, guided entirely by Qin Lanqin's aura, walked slowly through the dark ghost forest, gradually approaching the place of epic inheritance.

During this time, Feng Ling became so engrossed in cultivation that he forgot to follow Qin Lanqin's guidance to plan the correct path, and almost went astray several times.

"Roar, roar!"

Deep in the dense forest, the figure in black stood still, head bowed in thought, as if the mournful wails and howls coming from behind him did not exist.

A moment later, the woman with the gold and silver hairpins, her hair disheveled and her face showing anger, landed beside the man in black.

"Hey, do you even know how to lead the way?"

Seeing Feng Ling's nonchalant expression, Ji Shengyu gripped the gold and silver hairpin tightly, gritted her teeth, shook off the blood on it, and inserted it into her hair.

Along the way, they encountered countless ghosts and monsters, and Ji Sheng was responsible for resolving all the troubles. There was a fleeting moment when she almost couldn't resist aiming her gold and silver hairpin at Feng Ling's fair neck, piercing his carotid artery, and sucking his hot, gushing blood to vent her anger!

"I understand!"

Suddenly, Feng Ling raised his eyes and his gaze shone brightly. He began to practice the first level of the Free and Unfettered Movement technique, following the description on the scroll.

Using Ji Sheng, who was standing still, as a reference point, he stepped forward with his right foot, his body rapidly moving three meters away, while maintaining the position of stepping with his right foot forward and stopping with his left.

Immediately, Feng Ling left his left foot still, withdrew his right foot, and strangely returned to the original spot!

Immediately afterwards, Feng Ling began to practice intermittently, his figure resembling a ghost!
If Xue Beng and his companion had seen this scene, they would have been absolutely stunned: the first level of the Free and Easy Wandering Technique, which they had spent about a year mastering, had actually been learned by Feng Ling in just two days.
On the fifth and sixth days, at the end of the dense forest.

"Feng Ling, can you please stop floating around me like that?"

Staring at the overlapping and appearing afterimages around her, Ji Sheng felt a little dizzy from Feng Ling's shaking. She suddenly realized that compared to her own well-behaved self, the other person should be the ghost!

"Sorry! I've only just begun to grasp the second level, and I'm still having trouble controlling the number of afterimages! Just bear with me a little longer, don't worry about me, keep pushing forward!"

Through the practice over the past few days, Feng Ling felt that he was getting into a better state. He not only mastered the first level of movement technique, but also used the second level of locking technique, locking onto the target: Ji Sheng!

"Hmph! Then you'd better keep up!" Ji Sheng glanced at him coldly, then his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and shot away, much faster than before.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ling smiled!
He waited a few seconds until the other person disappeared before taking a step.

Beyond the dense forest lies a steep canyon.

A figure sped past, but Feng Ling remained leisurely, maintaining a constant distance from the former.

Movement techniques are undoubtedly a part of strength. It is necessary to hone one's overall strength by using movement techniques, which will undoubtedly enable one to better deal with various potential dangers!

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages offer you a pure land for your souls.
