Deft Lightness Jump Technique

“I can start by imparting you a Deft Lightness Jump technique so that you can experience it first. There’s a set of mnemonics for this technique. Based on the mnemonic, anyone can cultivate this technique as long as they have passed the Horse Stance Stage. You will know whether this technique I’m imparting to you is real or fake once you try it out!”

“Oh, I have learned a bit of the ‘Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps’ before…”

“The Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps is a body and footwork technique, not a Deft Lightness Jumping Skill. The body and footwork techniques are effective in dodging within a small area, allowing oneself to become more flexible or faster. On the other hand, the lightness skill is superior to that of the body and footwork technique. One will be able to jump even higher and run even faster, becoming as light as a swallow. He will be able to leap over roofs and vault over walls with ease too. Tramping over mountains, and through ravines, and leaping through air by walking on tides are considered trivial things too. This Lightness Leaping Skill is more valuable than normal body and footwork techniques. The highest layer of the ‘Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps’ is only to the Sixth Heavenly Layer, while the Deft Lightness Jump technique that I’m going to impart to you, which is also known as ‘Cloud Dragon’s Ten Transformations’, has ten layers at max. Once you break through to one transformation, your jumping ability will increase by one zhang [1]. If you manage to break through to ten transformations, you will be able to effortlessly jump ten zhang high. The walls of the city will not be able to stop you. An average person will not be able to obtain this even if they wanted to!”
