Because he wanted to carefully perceive and taste the experience, Li Shi set his pace, but his chopping speed was not fast.
After a while, more villagers came over to see the excitement.
Li Shi remained indifferent, focusing solely on the experience of chopping the tree.
He continuously adjusted his body posture, as well as the angle of his chops, while experimenting with using one hand instead of two, or swapping his left hand for his right.
When he was nearly finished chopping, he walked over to the shrubs where he had secured a safety rope, picked up the rope, backed away to a safe distance, signaled the onlooking villagers to move further away, and with a slight tug, the sycamore tree obediently fell towards the direction of the rope.
At this point, the curious villagers gradually dispersed.
