Watching William Bennett’s departing figure, Olivia Bennett murmured, “I know about ‘Furious Dragon Fist’—it’s a renowned martial art within the clan, almost on par with advanced techniques, but it’s very difficult to master. He also seems to have cultivated another technique, and when combined with ‘Furious Dragon Fist,’ its power nearly doubles.”

“Yuhan-jie, David Bennett’s cultivation is higher than William Bennett’s, and he’s practicing an advanced martial art. How could he lose?”

A young girl beside her asked.

“Techniques are dead, but people are alive. David Bennett’s ‘Thirteen Viper Transformations’ is used very rigidly, and he’s only learned three moves—he’s far inferior to his brother, ‘Charles Bennett.’ In terms of combat awareness, he’s also not as good as William Bennett.” Olivia Bennett paused slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing. “Moreover, William Bennett has mastered both sets of near-advanced martial arts to a high level, and when combined, his strength already surpasses David Bennett’s.”

Hearing Olivia Bennett’s analysis, the girl beside her exclaimed, “William Bennett is actually this powerful!”

“Hehe, I heard that David Bennett’s brother, ‘Charles Bennett,’ is outstanding in the clan and ranks among the top five among the outer disciples. I wonder if he’ll help his brother get revenge.”

……

“So much trouble!”

William Bennett shook his head, left the martial arts arena, and arrived at a spacious orchard in the clan’s mountain forest.

He came here, naturally, to cultivate the most mysterious movement technique in his possession—Floating Glide.

Among the more than a hundred martial arts manuals William Bennett brought out from the Xuanwu Pavilion, ‘Floating Glide’ was undoubtedly the highest level. Its drawback was that it was only a fragment, and extremely difficult to cultivate.

“The combined power of ‘Furious Dragon Fist’ and ‘Qi Pushing Formula’ is already so strong. I wonder what kind of scene an even higher-level ‘Floating Glide’ will be.”

William Bennett was filled with anticipation.

That very day, he began to comprehend and cultivate ‘Floating Glide.’

While focusing on cultivation, the faint blue spiral halo in the pitch-black space of his left eye began to spin faster.

William Bennett felt that some of the formulas and techniques of ‘Floating Glide’ were deeply imprinted in his mind. Although understanding them wasn’t as easy as with ‘Furious Dragon Fist’ or ‘Qi Pushing Formula,’ it was still fairly smooth.

“The difficulty of cultivating ‘Floating Glide’ is at least two or three times that of a peak intermediate technique…”

William Bennett concluded after comparison.

Of course, this level of difficulty didn’t stump him.

In just two or three days, William Bennett had gained an initial understanding of the first quarter of the ‘Floating Glide’ fragment.

In a total of six days, he had basically mastered the first quarter of the ‘Floating Glide’ fragment, reaching the ‘Initial Mastery’ stage.

Generally, martial arts techniques that enhance power have four levels of mastery: Initial Mastery, Minor Mastery, Major Mastery, and Peak.

Initial Mastery: 30% proficiency.

Minor Mastery: 50% proficiency.

Major Mastery: 70% proficiency.

Peak: over 90% proficiency.

For example, with ‘Furious Dragon Fist,’ William Bennett easily reached Major Mastery.

But with ‘Floating Glide,’ in the same amount of time, he only reached Initial Mastery, and that was just for the first quarter of the fragment.

Whoosh!

William Bennett leapt, his body as light as a swallow, gliding four or five meters through the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! …

He used the branches of tall trees as leverage with his toes, feeling a sense of effortless gliding.

In an instant, William Bennett seemed to transform into a light swallow, darting and leaping through the forest.

“Even at just Initial Mastery, ‘Floating Glide’ already far surpasses the Major Mastery of ordinary intermediate movement techniques.”

William Bennett was delighted.

This showed that the level of ‘Floating Glide’ definitely exceeded advanced martial arts.

In his spare time, William Bennett didn’t forget to spend time slowly deciphering the remaining three-quarters of ‘Floating Glide.’

However, fully deciphering the latter part consumed a lot of William Bennett’s mental energy.

Ever since leaving the Xuanwu Pavilion, William Bennett spent time every day deciphering it. By now, he had already deciphered a third of the blurry content in the latter three-quarters.

In other words, half of the entire ‘Floating Glide’ martial art could now be revealed.

After reaching Initial Mastery in ‘Floating Glide,’ William Bennett didn’t devote too much energy to it, and instead resumed cultivating ‘Furious Dragon Fist’ and ‘Qi Pushing Formula.’

Because he understood that no matter how high the level of ‘Floating Glide,’ it was still just a movement technique and didn’t do much to advance his cultivation.

After practicing such a high-level martial art as ‘Floating Glide,’ when he switched back to cultivating ‘Furious Dragon Fist’ and ‘Qi Pushing Formula,’ William Bennett found it even easier and smoother.

It only took two days.

‘Qi Pushing Formula’ broke through to the third level!

‘Furious Dragon Fist’ approached peak proficiency!

At this moment, William Bennett closed his eyes and felt the surging energy and blood within his body. His physical strength was more than half again as strong as when he had just advanced to the second level.

In the space of his left eye, the faint blue spiral vortex extended from two feet to two feet nine.

“It seems my martial arts realm has already reached the peak of the second level. Just one more step, and I can break through to the third.”

William Bennett took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

You have to know, it’s only been half a month since he broke through to the second level of martial arts.

This speed is astonishing!

Of course, what surprised him most was the breakthrough of ‘Qi Pushing Formula’ to the third level.
