Chapter 0021 – Four Steps Are Enough – Absolute Returns

It was said that this light skill used to be an auxiliary skill of the Heavenly Demon martial arts, but no one knew during which Heavenly Demon period it was lost. As for Zhou Pak Dao, he had actually obtained this long lost supreme light skill.

“…… The former Sect Master and his family suddenly met an untimely end, and the Heavenly Devil’s unique mastery, the Jiu Hua Demon Technique, was lost. Fortunately, the Heavenly Devil Hall was destroyed, and the Sect’s vitality was not injured, which allowed it to seal the mountain. After that, the position of Sect Master was left vacant and the Sect was thrown into chaos. If I hadn’t obtained the Four Steps of the Wind God, I’m afraid that the Sect would have fallen apart long ago.”

Simply incorporating a lightweight martial art into his own martial art was enough to allow him to sit as Sect Leader, so it was clear what a subtle martial art the Four Steps of the Wind God was.

“Where did you get the Four Steps of the Wind God?” I asked curiously.

“Heavenly Demon Book Pavilion. At that time, I was in charge of managing the Heavenly Demon Book Pavilion.” Zhou Budao replied.

“If it’s in the Book Loft, why do you say it’s lost?” I was even more puzzled.

“Because it’s not on the bookshelf.” Zhou Budao said meaningfully.

“……!” I froze.

If I hadn’t been drinking with him that day, if he hadn’t been in a good mood that day, if he hadn’t been drunk and bragging about his glorious deeds that day, I might never have known the whereabouts of the Four Steps of the Wind God.

The Heavenly Devil Book Pavilion is the largest collection of books I’ve ever seen in my life.

Ninety-nine huge bookshelves filled the entire Book Pavilion, which contained a wide variety of secret martial arts books. There was no lack of mind-blowing supreme martial arts, all of which were the precious wealth accumulated by this sect over the generations.

I strolled between the bookshelves, greedily breathing in the ancient scent of books. A glance at the bookshelves, densely packed with secret martial arts books, even if I just flipped through the titles, seven days would not be enough time.

Of course, I don’t need to search aimlessly like a needle in a haystack.

“This is it.”

I stopped at the nineteenth shelf.

This bookshelf is filled with the secrets of sound skills. Of course, I have no intention of developing any side business in music.

It wasn’t the secret books on the shelf that concerned me, but the underside of the shelf. Due to the weight of the books, one side of the bookshelf sank slightly, and a book was padded underneath in order to maintain balance.

I gently lifted the bookshelf with my inner strength and took out the book that was padded underneath.

It was an ancient secret book with four big words written on the cover:

Wind God Four Steps.

“It’s really here!” I was ecstatic.

I recalled the conversation I had with Zhou Budao:

“The Four Steps of the Wind God is not on the bookshelf.”

“And where is it?”

“That precious secret book was padded under the nineteenth shelf.”

He said that the reason he found this secret book was entirely due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was a person who demanded meticulousness in whatever he did, whether it was arranging chopsticks or folding clothes, it had to be done flawlessly. If there was a glass of water sitting in the corner of the table, he would worry that the glass would fall and he wouldn’t even be able to eat well.

In the Heavenly Demon Book Pavilion, he saw a book padded underneath the bookshelf and placed askew, so he couldn’t help but try to straighten it out, and as a result, he found this secret book.

I don’t know why this precious secret book was used as a stepping stone to the bookshelf, and neither does Zhou Baidao.

Perhaps there is some unknown secret hidden behind it.

Maybe it’s a battle for the heir apparent, maybe it’s the sins of a certain sky demon, maybe it’s someone’s ambition ……

Anyway, I got the Wind God Four Steps, and that was the biggest blessing of all.

I carefully turned the first page of the secret book.

Before the formal catchphrase, there was a small, neatly worded line that made my blood boil:

–The world is so big that four steps are enough.

That’s right, that’s what I want! As a light skill that competes for first place in the world, it should have this kind of domineering spirit of surrender.

The four steps of the Wind God are divided into four steps:

shadow step

checkmate (in chess)

medieval step

quick step

The first step, the Shadow Step, the method of sneaking and hiding.

The first glimpse of the door, can be hidden from the eyes of one person; to reach the peak, can be in the middle of ten thousand people to take the head of the general. Cultivated to the state of completion, even in front of dozens of people can instantly disappear without a trace.

The second step, the point-destroying step, the method of dodging and moving.

Used to dodge unavoidable attacks and find a silver lining in a game of certain death.

The third step, Pluto’s Step, is the method of pursuing the sudden advance.

Once this step was taken, any defense or evasion was null and void.

Hades steps as if to say:

The road to hell, I’ve opened it for you. You, are you coming with me or not?

From this, it could be seen that the Underworld Steps and the Point Destruction Steps, one attacking and the other defending, complemented each other. Whether the spear breaks or the shield breaks depends on the martial artist’s own attainments.

The last step, the quick step, the method of extreme speed.

The faster the speed, the smaller the world. Cultivated to the great accomplishment realm, it can break through the human limit and reach the realm of instantaneous speed of a thousand miles.

In a nutshell, the four steps of the Wind God are:

Sneak, Dodge, Surge, Dart.

It is enough to have these four steps when fighting someone.

I found a secluded corner and began to silently recite the mantra.

I remembered Li An’s instructions, ate the jerky I brought on time, and slept when I was sleepy. The rest of the time I spent on comprehending the Four Steps of the Wind God.

The mnemonic is profound and meaningful.

This light martial art, instead of being fixed in one move, needed to be utilized flexibly according to different situations. As such, it is more difficult to understand than those martial arts with complicated moves. Without the accumulation of my previous life, it would have been impossible for me to penetrate its mysteries.

Perhaps that is why it is lost. Every time I read it, I have a new experience, a different realization each time.

I was so immersed in it that I forgot about it.

Seven days later, I finally memorized all of the Wind God’s Four Steps’ mnemonics and initially grasped how to use it. Of course, this was only the first level of the realm, and if I wanted to go to the next level, I still needed to keep practicing.

I tore off the most crucial part of the secret book, swallowed it into my stomach, and then padded the rest back under the bookshelf. Just like that, the world’s number one lightweight skill was once again turned into a stepping stone for the bookshelf.

I don’t want anyone else to have a chance to get the Four Steps of the Wind God, that’s how selfish I am.

After doing this, I walked out of the Heavenly Demon Book Pavilion.
