"The movement of the deer is something I have not personally seen and thus difficult to comprehend the true essence. But that doesn't mean I can't improvise." The moment he moved again, he felt that feeling of weight being added on his body.
He seemed to be attempting to carry heaven on his back, and this time he didn't change to another animal movement, rather took another step just like the deer.
"The deer is trying to save itself from prey with this movement. Isn't this trying to defy the heavens!" The moment this thought came into his mind, he seemed to have seen light.
The only problem was, this thinking might not be wrong, but how could he be able to accomplish this.
The mentality required for this was clearly of a mad man. Walking against the current, jumping into trouble to walk out on the other side a transformed creature.
He already knew the meaning the moment he insisted on walking forward even with the weight that seemed to be hanging on his back.
The moment he completed this step, something seemed to have been broken.
This sound of something shattering sounded in his body and he felt that weight on his body had vanished.
His figure vanished from place and appeared ten meters away the next moment.
"What was that just now?" He was shocked.
The reason was simple, his movements seemed to have lost restrains.
That was not all, the moment he tried the other moves, they seemed to be flowing seamlessly. But now could he not tell that he had only grasped the essence of deer movement in the Five Animals Boxing.
Four more moves from the other animals still remained and if he could grasp them, perhaps it might be able to allow him to become stronger.
In the distance, the sound of a fight could be heard, and Situ that had been practicing the Five Animals Boxing, moved in the direction.
From the distance, he could feel stronger pressure, it made him stop on his tracks.
The man seemed to swipe his sword across the air resulting in some sword that would occasionally force the beast with antelope-like horns to retreat, but not doing substantial damage.
To Situ, that attack was already detrimental, but that was not what he focused on rather the cultivation method is taken by the person in question also seemed to pique his interest, but he did not move.
He did everything to shield their presence as if discovering them and even escaping would be troublesome. But he did not seem that interested in running away, this was an opportunity and he was sure that this person was at least on the level of a late-stage martial artist.
Situ observed the fight, and even though he was impressed by the sword Qi, he wasn't planning on try it out when he had time in the future.
He wanted to have a stronger body instead.
"If my body becomes strong enough, can I be capable of ignoring all attacks from the enemy? Besides, a stronger body means that the foundation is more solid." He had understood the essence of body refinement.
He was indeed right, and the more pressing thing for him was to reach the peak of Body refinement.
"My current movement speed has indeed increased, but my attack is a big problem." He thought about this as his figure kept moving away from the fight.
He had already seen enough and it wasn't worth for him to take risks approaching any further as the aftermath might injure him.
