Lin Dong attempts to teach Ye Linglong the "Five Shadow Steps." Despite the martial art's complexity, Lin Dong uses his "Eye of Insight" to break down the technique into three stages: Inner Qi channeling, movement coordination, and the Clone Technique. After much effort, he masters the technique, creating five shadow clones that move at incredible speed, even suppressing his power to demonstrate effectively for Ye Linglong. She is amazed by its potential for both offense and escape.

At the moment, she looked at Lin Dong, her eyes full of increasing admiration.

She stared at the ancient martial arts movement technique "Five Shadows Step" as if it were a fantastical idea, yet Lin Dong merely glanced at it once, and in such a short time, he directly learned it.

Moreover, he even summarized training notes suitable for her.

When Lin Dong returned to Ye Linglong and gently handed her the "Five Shadows Step" manual that was filled with his personal insights and suggestions for improvement.

There was a flash of incredulous light in Ye Linglong’s eyes.

She took the manual, her fingertips gently stroking the pages, as if she could feel Lin Dong’s profound wisdom and exceptional talent in martial arts that defied the heavens.

"With this, your learning will become much simpler." Lin Dong’s voice was incomparably gentle.

Ye Linglong nodded heavily, a surge of unprecedented motivation rising in her heart.

She took a deep breath and began to train according to Lin Dong’s notes.

The first step is to channel the Inner Qi into the acupoints of both Legs, a step that seems simple but actually requires precise control over the body’s breath.

But under the meticulous guidance of Lin Dong’s notes, Ye Linglong quickly found the knack.

The Inner Qi flowed like a gentle stream, slowly entering every acupoint in both Legs, bringing a wave of tingling and warmth.

The second step is the coordination of movement technique and steps.

In his notes, Lin Dong not only detailed the essential actions of each step but also included vivid illustrations, allowing Ye Linglong to visually understand and master them.

Through her efforts, the originally complex movement technique gradually became smooth and natural, her figure lightly darting around the training room, as if she truly began to have the shadows of the "Five Shadows Step."

However, at the third step, Ye Linglong encountered an unprecedented challenge.

This step required the cultivator to split into five clones while moving at high speeds.

And maintain inner peace and keen awareness of external changes, thereby achieving a realm where the body moves with the heart and the steps follow the shadows.

Even though Lin Dong’s notes were thorough, some things, as he said, could only be understood but not explained.

Ye Linglong tried countless times, each time feeling as if she was only a step away from that realm, yet somehow seemed to never be able to reach it.

Failure, time and again, in the blink of an eye over eighty-one times.

Sweat drenched her clothes, fatigue was etched on her face, yet there wasn’t a single thought of giving up in her eyes.

Through attempt after attempt, Ye Linglong gradually realized the vast gap between her and Lin Dong.

"Sigh, my talent compared to Lin Dong, it’s really far behind. Even though I study from his experience and notes, I’m still not as good as him."

Ye Linglong sighed softly, but there was no trace of self-pity in that sigh, rather a bit more determination.

"In the future, I want to be his woman. How can I be so far behind him?"

"I must succeed..."

"I’m already much better off than others, having his study notes. Others might need years to learn this, but with his notes, even though my talent is mediocre, I can learn in a much shorter time."

"Lin Dong took barely a few hours to learn and produce the notes."

"I must learn it within a few days..."

Ye Linglong told herself this in her heart, both as encouragement and to keep pace with Lin Dong.

Though her talent could not match Lin Dong, her will must be the same as his.

Next, time seemed to stretch, each second carrying Ye Linglong’s endless sweat and determination.

Ye Linglong, at the moment, was completely absorbed in the final step of the "Five Shadows Step."

This step was not only the key to her mastering the Five Shadows Step but also the insurmountable high wall in her heart.

Lin Dong’s words remained silently observing by her side, his gaze forever soft.

Yet also penetrating to the essence.

Each time Ye Linglong tried and failed, and her figure stumbled, Lin Dong would timely offer advice, his every word like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding Ye Linglong’s way.

Although the essence of the final step of the "Five Shadows Step" was indeed hard to completely convey in words, Lin Dong, with his profound martial insight and unique understanding, turned those experiences which could only be felt but not conveyed into a tangible stairway for Ye Linglong to climb.

Ye Linglong’s training was a struggle with herself.

She constantly fell, then constantly rose again, each failure deepening her understanding of the "Five Shadows Step."

She tried to perfectly merge Inner Qi and will, letting her body become like a breeze, able to change positions in an instant, leaving behind confusing afterimages.

However, the final five shadows always remained evasive like mirages, dispersing upon touch.

A day passed quietly amid Ye Linglong’s countless attempts and failures.

The surrounding air and water elements seemed to become heavy due to her efforts.

Every pant after failure sounded like a challenge to destiny.

Thousands of attempts, thousands of failures, yet Ye Linglong’s perseverance and determination never wavered.

Finally, when the night was as dark as ink and stars adorned the sky, a force within Ye Linglong seemed to awaken completely.

In one nearly exhaustive sprint, her figure suddenly blurred, followed by five nearly indistinguishable shadows that materialized around her, like five blooming lotus flowers, brilliant yet fleeting.

"I did it, I did it!"

Ye Linglong’s cheers echoed in the space, her eyes brimming with irrepressible joy and excitement.

Even though her "Five Shadows Step" still had a significant gap compared to Lin Dong—her speed only reaching five times the speed of sound, far from Lin Dong’s astounding ten times the speed of sound.

The five clones she conjured could only last for about ten seconds, but all this was unimportant now.

Because she had finally crossed that seemingly insurmountable high wall, stepping into a brand new martial realm.

At this moment, Ye Linglong’s heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and pride.

Learning the ancient martial arts movement technique "Five Shadows Step" in one day—if the Bright Clan’s John and others knew, they would probably think it’s a pipe’s dream.

Because nobody in their Bright Clan could learn it in such a short time!

John himself, considered an elite among the younger generation of the Bright Clan, had studied the Five Shadows Step for more than a year and still hadn’t mastered it...

Yet Ye Linglong, only took one day.

Of course, Ye Linglong knew well that the reason she managed to learn the Five Shadows Step in one day was entirely due to Lin Dong.

Thanks to his training notes.

Thanks to his repeated personal guidance after each failure.

Because of these, she could learn the "Five Shadows Step" in one day.

Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Indeed, you have learned the Five Shadows Step, but it’s not yet proficient. More practice is needed!"

"And the best way to practice proficiency is through actual combat."

"Come, I’ll take you to find a Demon King for you to practice in real combat."
