Chapter Thirty-Two: A Test of Lightness Kung Fu

  "This matter, I cannot give you an immediate answer, I need to consider it, after returning to the village, let Zeng Lao Ge come find me, and I will discuss with him."

  Zhao Ji paused for a moment before saying resolutely.

  After Zhao Ji's decisive words, Zeng Dazhuang never mentioned the matter again. The villagers who had been listening in with their ears perked up, also pretended that nothing had happened.

  Deeper into the mountains, animals gradually increased in number, and from time to time some wild chickens and birds flapped their wings and flew up with a "whoosh".

  At this time, a group of villagers bent their bows and shot arrows, the arrows fell like rain, shooting at those flying birds, one by one the prey fell down.

  A group of villagers joined in, and the birds shot down by arrows were rarely able to survive. However, Zhao Yi and Ding Dian managed to catch live ones every time they made a move.

  Shen Xing Bai Bian is a top-notch lightness skill, and its reputation isn't just for show. Within a short distance, it can even catch birds that have just taken flight.

  In the mountains, two blurry shadows flashed and ran at extremely high speed, chasing after a small bird that was as small as a sparrow.

  The sparrow soared above the forest, flapping its wings high in flight, seemingly about to soar into the clouds and sky, when a figure climbed up, grabbed it with one hand, and caught the sparrow in his palm.

  "Haha, Brother Ding, I got it first, this round, I won!"

  With a sparrow in his hand, Zhao Ji's body landed steadily on the ground and said to Ding Dian who was still chasing after the birds in mid-air.

  In the end, when Ding Dian's figure landed on the ground, he still didn't catch that sparrow which was considered as his prey. He made several attempts but only missed by a tiny bit each time.

  "Alas, it's still a bit slow, or if I had started a little earlier, I could have caught that bird."

  Ding Dian let out a faint sigh.

  No matter how powerful the light body skill is, it's impossible to catch up with a bird in full flight, unless you make a quick move when it takes off, then you might have a chance.

  For the cultivation of Shén Xíng Bǎi Biàn, Zhao Ji was far ahead of Ding Tian, with more understanding and insight. In terms of speed and agility, he had an edge over Ding Tian, which is why he could catch the two birds almost simultaneously as they took flight.

  "At this time, actually, the Wudang Tiejian Cloud Body Technique is more useful, it's just that Song doesn't want to teach me."

  Zhao Ji said with some regret.

  "The rules of the Jianghu, the inheritance of martial arts is very strict, Song Yuqiao doesn't want to teach and can't be blamed. Moreover, martial arts value quality over quantity, one or two top-notch martial arts, if cultivated to the peak, can also become a master of a generation."

  Ding Dian explained.

  Ding Dian's understanding of certain martial arts has reached the point of simplifying complexity, and to some extent, has roughly approached the realm of a master.

  "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We'll continue hunting. Oh right, Zeng Da Ge, we've caught enough small animals. Next, we'll focus on catching large ones."

  No longer entangled in that depressing topic, Zhao Ji's attention shifted back to the matter of hunting, and he instructed Zeng Dazhuang.

  "Good."

  Seeing several villagers holding more than a hundred wild chickens and rabbits in their hands, Zeng Dashuai also felt that it was enough, so he nodded his head in agreement.

  Wild chickens and rabbits are easy to find, there are many of them in the mountains and forests, and you can encounter a lot by messing around.

  Unlike large animals such as wild boars and black bears, they are not only scarce in number but also elusive, and if you're unlucky, you can't even encounter them, let alone hunt them down.

  Fortunately, there were experienced hunters among the villagers, such as Zeng Dazhuang, who could find large animals by observing animal footprints on the ground and some damage to the environment.

  "Zhao brothers, look, this is where the wild boar has dug through, and there are hoof prints left behind. If we follow them, we can definitely find a den of wild boars."

  Hard work pays off for those who are diligent. After searching, I finally found a clue that can give everyone a hint. Zeng Dashan was overjoyed and loudly called out to Zhao Jidao.

  "Wow, it really has been rooted up by a wild boar."

  Zhao Ji glanced at him twice and confirmed it.

  Looking for the traces left by wild boars, Zhao Ji might have lacked some experience, but after confirming it, he was still able to do it. The marks left by the wild boar's digging were indeed too distinctive.

  A piece of land with sparse wild grass, was dug up by a wild boar in a scattered manner, the mud inside was all turned over, and the fresh marks were particularly obvious, indicating that it had been dug up not long ago.

  Before the traces, the messy hoof prints on the ground were still very clear. Along the direction of the hoof prints, you can find the tracks of wild boars.

  "There are quite a few of these wild boars, with four or five big ones and about ten small ones. If we can catch them all at once, it'll be a huge haul."

  After carefully identifying the messy hoof prints for a moment, Zeng Dashuai said with great certainty.

  "Great, Brother Zeng! You can see this, it's incredible."

  He gave Zeng Da Zhuang a thumbs up and Zhao Ji said with some admiration.

  Those hoof prints piled together in a chaotic mess, complex and confusing, even with Zhao Ji's keen eyesight, it was hard to tell how many wild boars had galloped past.

  "It's nothing, just some experience accumulated over the years. Study hunting a bit more and you'll be able to do it soon too."

  Although he was proud in his heart, Zeng Daizhong remained humble as always.

  "I hope so, but now, aren't we supposed to catch up?"

  Zhao said in an urgent tone.

  Becoming a great hunter was not Zhao Ji's goal; becoming a powerful warrior or even a master of the generation was what he pursued.

  A group of people didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly chased after, following the messy hoof prints left by the wild boar, chasing for two or three miles before Zeng Dashuai suddenly waved his hand, letting everyone stop.

  "That nest of wild boars should be just ahead. From now on, we need to be careful and not make too much noise, or we'll scare them away."

  Zeng Dashuai spoke in a low and cautious tone, looking around nervously as if that group of wild boars was right in front of him.

  "Alright, you all sneak up quietly, I'll go ahead with Brother Ding first. We have lightness skills and won't be discovered."

  Zhao Ji urged Zeng Da Zhuang and then called out to Ding Dian, the two figures moved swiftly, rushing out like wind and lightning.

  The movements of the two men were almost identical, both displaying the divine movement of the Hundred Changes. The only slight difference was that Zhao Ji's speed was a little faster.

  This is still Ding Tian's cultivation being much deeper than Zhao Ji, with a bonus when using lightness skill, otherwise, based on his training progress in Shen Xing Bai Bian, he might not be slightly inferior to Zhao Ji.
