Yang Fei broke down the Yu Step into eight major variations.

Within the eight major variations, there were eight intermediate variations each.

Each intermediate variation contained an implication of eight minor variations.

And from there, the extrapolations were endless.

He first taught the three of them the eight major variations.

Yang Fei used a paintbrush to outline the order on each footprint and label them with numbers.

Then, he had the three men follow the numbers.

Once the three men had a basic familiarity with the step technique,

Yang Fei then imparted the accompanying breathing technique and the method of circulating Essence Qi to the three of them.

However, the Yu Step was incredibly profound.

Even with the martial arts foundations of Mad Blade, Fan Yi, and Yi Long, they were still bewildered by its complexity.

They could hardly take a few steps before tripping over their own feet and rolling on the ground like tumbling gourds.

Mad Blade couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, what kind of step technique is this? It's way too difficult!"

Yang Fei glanced disdainfully at him.

"It is said that the Yu Step was the step technique used by ancient wizards to summon rain, to tread among the stars and step on the Northern Dipper, supposedly allowing communication with the Heavenly Deities."

"Although these legends may not be true, this set of step techniques can refine the body's energy into Essence Qi."

"Think about it, if you master it, how far could Core Formation to Divine Communication be for you?"

Mad Blade was overjoyed.

Fan Yi and Yi Long were both profoundly moved.

If what Yang Fei said was true,

then just this step technique alone was worth its weight in gold to martial artists.

If it had been in the past,

such peerless mental method would be the kind passed only to sons, not daughters, a unique family secret.

Nobody would have imparted it lightly to outsiders.

Yi Long felt so grateful that he was about to kneel and kowtow to Yang Fei, but Yang Fei stopped him with a pull.

"We're brothers, what's with all the formality?"

"Instead of kowtowing to me, you'd better treat me to a drink."

Mad Blade and Fan Yi were life-and-death brothers of Yang Fei.

They shared a bond as if they had one life amongst them, there was no need for formalities.

Yang Fei simply decided to give the three of them a stronger dose of medicine.

"Most importantly, the Yu Step contains a great secret, capable of breaking the Martial Arts Energy Field of Core Formation Martial Artists!"

The moment he said this, all three of Mad Blade's eyes widened in astonishment.

The strength of Core Formation God Communicating experts over Energy Transformation Masters lay in their easy oppression through the might of the Martial Arts Energy Field.

In a high-level fight, the difference could be as slim as a hair.

If one could control the movements of the other, immobilizing them,

then they would essentially hold absolute victory.

Even a monster like Yang Fei had suffered quite a bit under the Martial Arts Energy Fields of the Golden Buddha, the White Dragon Envoy, and others.

In this way, as long as they mastered the Yu Step,

Mad Blade, Fan Yi, and even Yi Long could at least save their own lives if they encountered Core Formation Experts.

The three of them looked at the Trigrams Diagram on the ground, filled with joy and excitement,

as if they had discovered an exceptional treasure.

It took Yang Fei a full four hours just to let the three men get a preliminary grasp of the eight major variations of the Yu Step.

Although they were still stumbling and occasionally falling,

they could at least walk from start to finish.

As for the remaining sixty-four intermediate variations, and the 4,096 minor variations,

and even more subtle variations that stemmed from these, they would have to be comprehended by each individual.

The Yu Step was like a mountain of gold.

The higher one's comprehension, the more they could understand, and the more gold they could excavate.

Likewise, Yang Fei also imparted the Great Stone Tablet Breaking Hand to Mad Blade, and the Great Xumi Sword to Fan Yi.

And Yi Long learned another of Yang Fei's unique skills, called the Void Bright Fist.

The Void Bright Fist evolved from Tai Chi and emphasized the illusion of emptiness and substance.

This set of Fist Technique was the only one suitable for Yi Long among the ultimate martial studies in Yang Fei's residual memories.

The three of them had learned Yang Fei's supreme martial studies and were happier than if they had won a grand prize.

Especially Yi Long, who was moved to tears with gratitude.

As for Mad Blade and Fan Yi, being Yang Fei's brothers, that was to be expected.

Yang Fei showed no qualms about them either.

This trust and brotherhood overwhelmed Yi Long with all sorts of emotions.

Yet Mad Blade had this nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right.

Yang Fei's behavior today was somewhat off.

He supervised their practice without any slackness.

This was a far cry from his usual indifferent and lazy attitude.

Suddenly, Mad Blade thought of something, "Brother Fei, when are you heading to the Dragon King Hall?"

Yang Fei gave a bitter smile, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."

"The journey to the Dragon King Hall is just to greet the Dragon King emerging from seclusion. There's no need for you guys to go."

"Bullshit, if you dare leave me behind, I'll never let you off the hook," Mad Blade exploded upon hearing this, fiercely grabbing Yang Fei's collar.

"We are brothers, brothers share one life, are you looking down on me for being less skilled?"

Fan Yi, who had been engrossed in mastering the Yu Step as if in a drunken stupor, also snapped out of it.

He walked over and took a stance next to Yang Fei, stating flatly,

"Brother Fei, we got through the formidable Alliance of Gods. What's so great about the Dragon King Hall? We can just as well turn heaven and earth upside down there."

Yi Long straightened his back.

"Brother Fei, I must go. If you leave me behind, it means you don't consider me a brother."

Yang Fei stared blankly at the three iron-blooded men and sighed.

"I'm going to the Dragon King Hall to welcome the Dragon King from his seclusion, not to fight. Why would you guys want to follow?"

Mad Blade huffed.

"No matter what, if you leave me behind, don't blame me for setting your Lanting Hotel ablaze."

"We'll go our separate ways."

Yang Fei immediately became furious and swiftly made a move, using the Monkey Steals Peach technique to grab Mad Blade's sensitive spot.

"Say that again?"

"Ow!"

Mad Blade howled in pain, but refused to show any weakness.

"Even if you crush my eggs, I'd say the same."

Yang Fei suddenly broke into a smile and let go of Mad Blade.

"That's more like it. I was just testing you guys, good brothers, brave enough."

Fan Yi and Yi Long both stared dumbfounded at the jokester Yang Fei.

All three were unable to keep up with his pace.

Mad Blade stood frozen for a moment then suddenly jumped three feet high, torn between grief and indignation.

"Little Bird Yang, I won't forgive you!"

He clutched at his crotch and charged at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei's figure flickered, activating the Yu Step with incredible agility, instantly flashing behind Mad Blade.

Mad Blade's figure also flickered, utilizing the newly learned Yu Step to chase after Yang Fei's form.

Mad Blade was a genius when it came to combat.

He may have struggled to learn the Yu Step, but when it came to actual combat, he grasped it immediately.

Incredibly, he kept right on Yang Fei's heels without missing a beat.

Yang Fei was both shocked and pleased, having just dodged two moves.

He heard Mad Blade roar with rage and lunge at him.

Yang Fei's figure darted aside, and Mad Blade, unable to maintain balance, charged towards the door.

Just then, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open.

A slender figure appeared at the doorway.

His pale golden hair shimmered in the sunset, and his eyes were as deep and tranquil as a serene pond.

Ye!

Ye wore an off-white Nike tracksuit with impeccably clean sneakers, resembling a university student still in school.

Who would have thought this seemingly gentle and peaceful young man was actually the inscrutable Divine Shrine Dragon Envoy?

Mad Blade stopped in his tracks and glared, "What are you doing here?"

Ye sighed lightly and approached Yang Fei.

His clear, tranquil eyes met Yang Fei's without a ripple.

"I heard you guys are planning to go to the Dragon King Hall?"
