Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 85: The Tank Exploded
Faced with Li Xiaoren's question, Tang Zheng smiled without saying anything.
Are you kidding? Even a good person like Ouyang Luoluo couldn't help but roar at the contribution to the academy made by this method, and he urgently added a school rule for this purpose.
If Li Xiaoren, an instructor who was old-fashioned and just disliked him, knew about this, Tang Zheng didn't dare to bet that he would kill him with a palm on the spot.
Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't answer, Li Xiaoren was too lazy to waste time with him and directly threw the "Cloud-Stepping Step" martial arts book in his hand to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng took the somewhat worn-out copy of "Stepping on the Clouds" and began to read it impatiently.
Starting from the first page, Li Xiaoren filled the blank spaces of the original text with long annotations in particularly neat small calligraphy.
Some annotations are based on explanations of the more obscure descriptions in the original martial arts books.
Some annotations are based on Li Xiaoren's explanation and elaboration of the circulation of star power in "Treading on the Clouds" and some key points and difficulties encountered in the performance of martial arts.
…
Tang Zheng didn't care. He just found a place to sit down and read slowly page by page.
"These five hundred academy contributions are well spent!" Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he reviewed the "Cloud-Stepping Steps" martial arts book with Li Xiaoren's annotations.
If the previous "Treading on the Clouds" martial arts book was compared to a book written in very obscure classical Chinese, then now, after Li Xiaoren's annotations, it has become a bilingual version of classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese, with an additional reading notes version.
The more Tang Zheng read , the easier it was for him to understand. The urge in his heart to try practicing the Cloud-Stepping Steps became stronger and stronger, and he could not suppress it anymore.
Just like this, Tang Zheng held the "Cloud-Stepping Step" martial arts book in his hand, muttering to himself, while stars rose up and star power circulated. Sometimes he frowned in deep thought, and sometimes he looked happy.
More than an hour had passed, and Tang Zheng had already understood the operation of the star power of "Cloud-Stepping Steps" and some obstacles encountered in performing martial arts.
He gently closed the martial arts book in his hand and put it aside. Purple-gold constellations rose up behind him. He took one step, two steps, and began to try to actually perform this martial arts footwork.
If there were outsiders present now, they would definitely think that Tang Zheng's actions were very strange and ridiculous.
At this moment, he was just like a fledgling that had just landed and was about to learn to spread its wings and fly. Occasionally, a star force flowed between his legs, gushing out, and he jumped several feet high. Occasionally, he accidentally slipped and fell face first into the mud.
"The star power condenses, accumulates in the shin veins, and flows to the feet, making one walk as fast as flying..." As Tang Zheng tried, he reviewed the tricks of the Cloud-Stepping Step in his mind.
"Hiss, this feels a bit like the working principle of a car's internal combustion engine before the time travel!"
"The star veins in my legs are like a cylinder, the star power is the fuel, the star power operating circuit is to push the piston to do work, and my entire foot joint is equivalent to the crank-connecting rod mechanism, which finally converts the star power into kinetic energy and outputs it continuously. I can go from a speed of ten or twenty yards to two hundred or three hundred yards, and finally surpass a Ferrari on foot, with my back covering a Porsche!" Tang Zheng pondered over the idea of realizing the Cloud-Stepping Step that Li Xiaoren had annotated, and suddenly thought of the principle of the internal combustion engine system that had driven an era in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng began to slowly control his star power, following the star power operation method in the Cloud-Stepping Martial Arts Book, and slowly performing this special footwork martial art in accordance with the operating rhythm of the internal combustion engine.
With the idea of internal combustion engine as a comparison, and Tang Zheng's abnormal control over star power.
Gradually, Tang Zheng felt that the star power was flowing more and more smoothly in the star veins in his shins, and streams of star power continued to surge towards his ankle joints and soles of his feet with impact.
"It's moving, it's moving, my engine is started!" Tang Zheng suddenly felt his footsteps had a huge momentum, and even his feet started running involuntarily.
Li Xiaoren had been watching coldly from the side. When he saw Tang Zheng finish reading the martial arts book, he started to try to strike while the iron was hot and practice the Cloud-Stepping Step. He shook his head slightly.
Based on his many years of experience in practicing martial arts himself and guiding students in practicing martial arts, he knew that most students would find it difficult to fully comprehend and understand the contents of a non-guided martial arts book when they first received it.
Even with the instructor's explanations, only about 10% of students with higher comprehension abilities can do it. As for those who can achieve some success on the spot, they are even rarer and can definitely be called martial arts geniuses.
In recent decades, there have been only a few martial arts geniuses in Yisu Academy who could achieve this. Currently, among those still , only Leng Zhan can do it.
Li Xiaoren felt that with Tang Zheng's talent, it was already good enough for him to fully understand and comprehend the contents of the martial arts book. If he could also try to simulate the star power circulation circuit of the Cloud-Stepping Step, it would definitely be an extraordinary performance.
So, when he saw that Tang Zheng was really slowly working out the general outline of the star power circuit of the Cloud-Stepping Step in his body, he couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.
"This guy's talent is only slightly inferior to Leng Zhan. If it weren't for his unknown origins, he really deserves to be trained vigorously." Li Xiaoren looked at Tang Zheng struggling , sighed secretly, and was about to speak to stop Tang Zheng from continuing.
When practicing new martial arts, the most taboo thing is to be impatient and try to get the best result. If you are not careful, your star power will get out of control, causing damage to your star veins, then the gain will be counterproductive.
However, before Li Xiaoren could open his mouth, he heard Tang Zheng let out a weird cry of excitement. He couldn't understand what he was shouting, "engine", "start" and other nonsense...
But the next moment, Tang Zheng actually started running. The star power continued to pour into his legs and gushed out from the soles of his feet. As Tang Zheng's speed became faster and faster, silver rays of light gradually appeared at his ankles, which was extremely cool.
Seeing this astonishing scene, Li Xiaoren's poker face was also moved. He murmured in surprise: "This... How is it possible? It took me more than a day to achieve this step, but he only took less than two hours to successfully perform the Cloud Step? Could it be that his talent is even more terrifying than Leng Zhan?!"
Although Li Xiaoren couldn't believe it at all, Tang Zheng was having a great time, running at full speed. His figure had become a little blurry at the high speed, reminding him that this was the fact!
"Bang——" But soon, Tang Zheng, who was running very happily, made a slight explosion sound under his feet, and the whole person flew out. After being thrown far away, he fell straight to the ground, like a rolling gourd, rolling more than a dozen times before stopping.
"Puh, puh, puh!" Tang Zheng spat out several mouthfuls of sand with a depressed look on his face, and sighed, "Fuck, my skills are totally inadequate. I haven't even run one stop yet and the engine has already exploded..."
