"Tang Language, weren’t you curious how I achieved that rapid movement just now?"

Having ample experience dealing with Lin Wan, Chen Lusi changed the subject and suddenly said, "Do you want me to explain it to you?"

Tang Language, upon hearing this, immediately set aside her age and hesitations, her eyes slightly lighting up, "Sure!"

"Meow." The white cat gently nudged Chen Lusi’s pant leg and then lay down on the ground, turning its head to the side as if it couldn’t bear to look.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at Tang Language’s clear and naive... no, untainted eyes, nodded, and lightly waved his right arm.

Flesh twisted.

A cold gleam appeared suddenly.

"I was in a hurry to find someone, but the Shrinking Earth Talisman is a directional talisman, and I couldn’t use it to go to a place I’ve never been."

Chen Lusi lightly waved the flesh-formed blade of his right arm and explained, "At that time, if I wanted to use the Shrinking Earth Talisman to find someone, it was impossible. Even if I could sense where Catherine, the core of the Anomaly Realm, was, I could only walk there, which was too slow.

So I came up with a makeshift solution by drawing the Shrinking Earth Talisman and then using my Authority Ability... to activate the talisman, targeting the direction of my slashing for rapid movement."

"Simply put, it’s forcibly triggering the effect of the Shrinking Earth Talisman, but not going to a designated place. The specific movement was based on my subjective perception. Initially, I had to draw the talisman in the void, but after using it a few times... I found that even if I didn’t draw the talisman, as long as I recalled the Shrinking Earth Talisman during the moment of slashing, I could move swiftly.

Like this..."

Chen Lusi raised his right arm and smashed it forward with force.

Crack——

Accompanied by the layered fragmentation of space.

Chen Lusi’s figure vanished instantly, reappearing in the distance.

Tang Language’s hair stood on end.

But before she could panic and cover her head.

The second sound of shattering immediately followed.

Chen Lusi reappeared in front of her, then released the Authority Ability, "Currently, my rapid movement can’t match the Shrinking Earth Talisman, where you can ignore distance as long as you’re in the country and have been to the location.

Though I haven’t genuinely experimented, I estimate the maximum distance of this rapid movement is no more than two kilometers... But the advantage is convenience, without as many restrictions as the Shrinking Earth Talisman. Moreover, unlike ’First Line,’ which can only move quickly in a straight line, it’s relatively more flexible."

"Oh... oh, I understand now..."

Tang Language came back to her senses, her curiosity dissipating, only daring to feign composure in response.

As for the age issue earlier, that had long been forgotten.

Seeing her in this state, Chen Lusi smiled, then turned to look at the slowly repairing space and suddenly asked, "I once heard Si Yujie say, when condensing a Stone and placing the soul in the Stone, the Spirit within becomes like a tail to some extent?"

"Yes."

Perhaps recalling Chen Lusi’s lifting of the Authority Ability, or thinking of what he had said in the elevator earlier. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Tang Language slowly calmed down, then whispered, "Do you have that feeling? ...How many souls did you put into the Stone?"

"About half?"

Chen Lusi recalled the situation at that time, unsure, "As for the feeling... the Spirit within is indeed more fluid and convenient to draw, but that’s it; I haven’t noticed more changes, is this normal?"

"Half!? You’ve just touched the threshold of Zhan Kan!!!"

Tang Language was somewhat incredulous, her voice suddenly raised, no longer hesitant, "And you’ve just advanced! You can already slash space into pieces, yet there’s no more change!"

Chen Lusi turned his head, "So, is this normal?"

"It’s not very normal, rather, with such a large Tier span, I’ve never seen it!"

Tang Language shook her head, "Generally, most Empowerers progress step by step, with ample time at each stage for the individual to familiarize themselves with their changes, then naturally allow the Stone within to accommodate the soul, ultimately completing the metamorphosis.

But you directly jumped from bleeding to the Late Stage of Che Xin, without a familiarization process, essentially transforming first, then going back to familiarize, which definitely takes some time. Naturally, there is no real feeling.

You should first try out the current techniques you know, confirm your present abilities, perhaps then you’ll have a real feeling... Complete the above steps, then try further to adapt to the new abilities brought by your Tier change, experiment with new techniques, spend a month or two, then it will probably be complete.

Wait, something’s amiss, you can skip this step... Space has been slashed by you, you’ve first adapted to new techniques, then confirmed what the old techniques could achieve, the sequence is reversed as well..."

"..."

Chen Lusi heard this and had a thoughtful expression, then said, "Actually, I’ve used old techniques... against Catherine and that Tretyakov, but I still don’t have a real sense of what they can achieve."

Tang Language muttered, "You call that against? That’s called a chase..."

Chen Lusi heard this, looking at Tang Language, who was physiologically three hundred years old but psychologically a young girl, suggested, "Why don’t you fight against me and try? You use techniques to obstruct me as best you can, then I try to close in on you? Let me confirm once more?"

"Me? No way." Tang Language was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously.

"I won’t hurt you."
