Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

"Roaming Dragon Steps?"

In a pavilion in the backyard of the Storm Club.

Lu Chao was on his feet, his head tilted back to watch the inverted figure more than ten meters above him. A flicker of amazement crossed his eyes.

He remembered what Luo Qianshan had said.

Even those at the Superpower Level couldn’t just ignore the laws of physics and gravity; they couldn’t move horizontally across the walls of skyscrapers with ease.

If they could, it would only be by relying on a short burst of explosive speed to barely achieve a similar effect.

However, looking up now, Ge Hongfeng seemed so relaxed, like an ancient pine tree hanging upside down from the glass canopy.

There was no explosive burst of high-speed movement; it was as if his entire body was simply glued to the glass.

The only hint of an energy fluctuation came from his feet, where a silvery Qi Flame was quietly swirling.

"What do you think, Lu Chao?"

Ge Hongfeng hung upside down, his hands clasped behind his back, and chuckled. He was clearly satisfied with the look of shocked amazement on Lu Chao’s face.

When it came to physical power, he couldn’t compare to Luo Qianshan.

When it came to lethal techniques, he was no match for Lei Wanjun.

But when it came to Body Techniques... even in the entire Red Maple City Circle, he was ranked among the very best!

"Please, Master Ge, teach me!"

Lu Chao took a deep breath, spoke with sincerity, and offered a cupped-fist salute.

’It would be foolish not to learn, especially when he’s being so proactive about it.’

"Heh."

WHOOSH!

Ge Hongfeng chuckled, then vanished from mid-air and reappeared right in front of him.

A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a few motes of dust from the ground.

He stroked his beard, used both hands to help Lu Chao to his feet, and nodded with a smile. "Since you want to learn, then you must learn well."

"In a moment, I will teach you the essentials of the first half. From now on, find some time each day to come here and practice. I will guide you personally."

"However..."

His tone became earnest and serious. "You must never, ever leak the secrets of this technique."

"Yes. Please rest assured, Master Ge. I will keep my lips sealed."

Lu Chao quickly agreed, his expression turning serious.

Then, after a few more instructions, Ge Hongfeng wasted no time. He demonstrated the Body Technique again while explaining the essentials of its first half.

According to him, the Roaming Dragon Steps was divided into two levels: Minor Achievement and Major Achievement.

It involved circulating Martial Arts Power through a special method, creating a unique cycle among more than a dozen acupoints. This power would then cover one’s feet, allowing the Body Technique to be performed.

Once Minor Achievement was reached, one’s feet would gain a special adhesion to surfaces like water, walls, or the glass of a skyscraper, allowing them to defy the normal laws of gravity.

To be more precise, it transformed the Martial Arts Power under one’s feet into something like nails or a floating plank, forming a special connection with objects and water. This enabled the user to treat any terrain as solid ground.

As for Major Achievement, it built upon this foundation by doubling one’s explosive speed. It also allowed the user to redirect and leverage force mid-air to some extent, making them as agile as a roaming dragon.

Lu Chao was thrilled by these effects. He quickly memorized the essential techniques and resolved to come back and practice them.

Finally, after a bit more small talk, Lu Chao tactfully took his leave with a cupped-fist salute.

Ge Hongfeng’s third disciple, Song Yan, personally escorted him out of the backyard.

"Senior Brother Lu, just let me know when you come by next time."

"Mastering the Roaming Dragon Steps won’t happen overnight. We can spar and exchange notes in the future to help each other improve."

Song Yan said with a smile as they walked.

He was about the same age as Lu Chao and clearly exceptionally talented. His Life Energy had already reached 71 points, putting him at the Elite Level.

Lu Chao smiled and agreed. He was just walking through the club’s main hall and about to leave.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached, and several figures appeared, walking toward them.

One of them, a young woman, looked rather familiar. She wasn’t wearing a martial arts uniform, but a light-colored dress, and was followed by two burly security guards in suits.

Song Yan stopped in his tracks and called out, "Miss Xu."

"Senior Brother Song, long time no see."

Xu Ling’Er nodded, her tone casual.

Then, as if noticing something, her gaze fell upon Lu Chao.

"You?"

She frowned slightly, her mind flashing back to their previous encounter on the ferry.

"What are you doing here?"

She seemed to have a prejudice against him. Her eyes were full of suspicion, and her tone held a hint of accusation.

Lu Chao raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. He hadn’t expected to see her again.

"Senior Brother Lu, you know Miss Xu?" Song Yan asked, surprised.

But before Lu Chao could answer, Xu Ling’Er seemed to recall something. She curled her lip and said coldly, "Hardly. I don’t know him well at all."

"My brother, on the other hand, got the cold shoulder for his troubles. All his good intentions went completely to waste."

She let out a cold huff, shot Lu Chao a look, and walked away indifferently.

As her group brushed past them, Song Yan could tell something was off. He quickly turned to Lu Chao, asking what had happened.

Lu Chao shook his head gently. He had a pretty good idea why.

Over the past month, Xu Fengling had invited him to dinner once.

Unfortunately, he had just taken over the Fifth Squad and was swamped with work, so he had to politely decline.

’It seems Xu Ling’Er must have misunderstood the situation.’

"I see."

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Chao’s simple explanation.

He immediately glanced around, then lowered his voice to offer a word of advice. "Don’t mind her, Senior Brother Lu. Miss Xu is just like that—a sharp tongue but a soft heart. However, if Eldest Young Master Xu invites you again, you should probably consider accepting."

"The Xu family is very influential in the Red Maple City Circle. They’re one of the main shareholders of the Jinggang Chamber of Commerce and are on good terms with the founding families of our Satellite City No. 4... Eldest Young Master Xu is also a righteous man who likes to make friends. To be honest with you, our eldest senior brother’s sponsorship actually comes from the Xu family."

He gave an awkward smile, offering his tactful advice.

Lu Chao understood.

’He’s not just thinking about me,’ he thought. ’He has his own reasons, too. He doesn’t want this to make things difficult for Master Ge.’
