Chapter 394: Footwork Comprehension

Today, Xiang Shaoyun was no longer seated on Jin Wo's back . Rather, he was flying by himself because he had now shifted his focus to cultivate footwork intent during the journey .

Only through constant practice and study would he increase his comprehension speed . Footwork intent was an intent that could enhance his offensive or fleeing capabilities . He had to give it sufficient training .

Devouring Ghost's demonstration had already been imprinted in his mind . Each day, he replayed the scene two times in his mind before attempting to incorporate what he had learned with his footwork, trying to gain more comprehension that way .

With his gift of instincts and visualization, his comprehension of footwork intent deepened little by little each day . Slowly, he neared the first stage of footwork intent, moving like the wind .

In the blink of an eye, two months passed . Xiang Shaoyun had finally comprehended the first stage of footwork intent . At a certain place of wilderness, a faintly discernible figure was running . His speed was ever changing, from fast to slow and slow to fast . He moved left and right in an unpredictable manner, and a series of afterimages were left in all directions, making it hard to pinpoint where his actual body was .

This person was none other than Xiang Shaoyun cultivating his footwork . In fact, he hadn't even used the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps yet . Following him not far away in a leisurely manner was Devouring Ghost . He gasped in astonishment, "Two months, the young master has taken only two months to reach the moving like the wind stage . This comprehension ability is too heaven-defying!"

One ought to know that Devouring Ghost himself had taken a very long time before he finally comprehended footwork intent one day by fluke . Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had only taken two months to understand the essence of footwork intent . It truly surprised Devouring Ghost .

Du Xuanhao was also cultivating with Xiang Shaoyun . He was still in the midst of comprehension and had touched on the edge of footwork intent . However, he had yet to obtain any success with it . It would probably be very hard for anyone to believe that a third-stage King actually had a better comprehension ability than a ninth-stage Emperor .

Looking at Xiang Shaoyun, who had successfully comprehended footwork intent, Du Xuanhao sighed inwardly, The young master is indeed a talent blessed by the heavens . Back then when he had comprehended my saber intent, he hadn't taken long either . And now, he has comprehended footwork intent in such a short period of time . It is truly hard to not admire him .

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun activated his Overlord's Nine Nether Steps . He had already grasped part of the essence of Overlord's Nine Nether Steps to unleash a portion of the footwork's actual power . Now that he was using it together with footwork intent, he reached a truly astonishing speed that was easily comparable to that of a top King .

"Haha, this feels amazing!" Xiang Shaoyun charged into the clouds and ran in the air, his excited voice reverberating everywhere .

He moved faster and faster as his footwork comprehension deepened . At the same time, his comprehension of his Overlord's Nine Nether Steps was also growing .  

What if I use the innate purple lightning to power my footwork? Xiang Shaoyun had a sudden idea as he immediately channeled lightning energy into his legs, instantly flooding them with power .

Bzzt! Bzzt!

A burst of lightning energy appeared in the sky before rippling apart like a blooming lotus, presenting a sight of boundless grace . With the support of lightning energy, Xiang Shaoyun's speed increased by about 30 percent, instantly bringing his speed up to a level comparable to a peak King's, stunning both Du Xuanhao and Jin Wo .

"H-has the young master comprehended the shrinking space stage as well?" Du Xuanhao cried out in disbelief .

The shrinking space stage was the second stage of footwork intent . It was massively different from the first stage, granting one an extreme growth of speed .

Devouring Ghost's voice rang out, "No, this is not the shrinking space stage . Rather, the young master has merely deepened his comprehension of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps . He has finally learned to make use of his unique talent and combine it with his footwork intent, achieving such impressive speed . "

Others might not know about the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, but that was not the case for Devouring Ghost . It was a footwork created by his previous master . When powered by lightning, this footwork could reach a speed comparable to lightning and would not be any slower than those cultivating the power of wind . That was why his previous master had managed to reach the third stage of footwork intent, so close yet worlds apart .

Xiang Shaoyun kept dashing everywhere in the sky, his understanding of the essence of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps increasing unceasingly . Massive amounts of innate purple lightning converged at the two acupoints in the soles of his feet, surrounding his feet with a large amount of electrical currents that filled them with power . When using the footwork intent in such a state, he had a sensation he had turned into a gust of wind .

Is this how it feels to move like wind and lightning? Wind and lightning working together, aiming for the peak together .  A new comprehension suddenly appeared in Xiang Shaoyun's mind .

He was sure that if he continued training in this manner, he would be able to push his footwork intent and Overlord's Nine Nether Steps to the peak . Suddenly, he stopped all movement, the energy around him abruptly erupting .

"The Overlord's Nine Nether Steps can not only increase one's speed, but it can also be used offensively," Xiang Shaoyun roared before lifting his foot and taking one step forward .

Bang!

It was as if the force of the world was gathered at his feet . With one step, thunderclaps rumbled and numerous electrical currents spread outward . Around him, space itself started shaking and twisting, forming a visible depression in the air, showcasing the tyrannical might of the step he had taken .

He took the second step, and as if the God of Thunder was roaring, a massive thunderclap rumbled out . This step was even more powerful than the first . If someone was near Xiang Shaoyun at this moment, they would have probably exploded outright from the impact .

Xiang Shaoyun's aura had reached the peak at this moment . He prepared to take the third step, but he was unable to complete the step no matter what . It was as if a boundless force was trying to prevent him from doing so .

"LET—ME—GO!" Xiang Shaoyun roared . The purple and silver lightning energy around him turned into a roaring dragon, and a lightning tribulation formed in the sky .

Rumble! Rumble!

Six natural lightning bolts shot down from the sky and struck Xiang Shaoyun's body . Instead of causing him any damage, the energy of all six bolts converged at his raised foot, helping him complete the third step .

Bang!

Instantly, the space within tens of meters around Xiang Shaoyun started shaking as if the sky was falling apart, filling any onlookers' hearts with fear . A massive lightning wave spread out, destroying everything in the area .

Sphhlt!

The instant the step was completed, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have been completely drained of energy . He coughed up a mouthful of blood and started swaying, looking like he was about to fall from the sky . Devouring Ghost, Du Xuanhao, and Jin Wo quickly rushed over .

Devouring Ghost was the first to arrive . He caught Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Young master, are you fine?"

Xiang Shaoyun stabilized himself, a smile forming on his pale face . "Hehe, I'm fine . I'm doing splendidly!"
