Chapter 875 - 873: This Shoe Has a Heart Method Too?
"Heart Method? These shoes even have a Heart Method?" Chen Tianlong widened his eyes. He originally thought they were just an ordinary pair of shoes, but didn’t expect them to be so incredible.
"Yes, these shoes may look like ordinary sheepskin, but that’s not the case. The key is the sole, which uses a super Spirit Stone. This kind of Spirit Stone is very lightweight, although compressed a lot, the weight is only about one or two ounces more than your current shoes," Lin Kaifeng explained.
"And the most amazing thing is, these shoes have no size, yet they fit anyone."
"Huh? So magical?" Chen Tianlong was surprised.
"Well, if you don’t believe me, give it a try."
Lin Kaifeng took the shoes out of the box. Chen Tianlong estimated them to be about size forty, while he normally wore a size forty-two. If so, he definitely wouldn’t be able to wear them.
With a try-it-out attitude, Chen Tianlong took the Flying Shoes from Lin Kaifeng, then tried to put them on, and discovered they actually fit perfectly. They were completely elastic, no matter how he stretched them, they didn’t feel tight.
Once he put them on, Chen Tianlong felt as light as a swallow. The material of the shoes was incredibly comfortable, making him not want to take them off.
"Well, do they feel comfortable and fitting? I wasn’t lying to you," Lin Kaifeng chuckled.
"Yes, truly amazing. And is this really an Ancient Divine Artifact?" Chen Tianlong still couldn’t believe it. In his understanding, Ancient Divine Artifacts were typically forged from Thousand-Year Profound Iron or gemstones and the like.
But this was clearly made of genuine leather, though he couldn’t quite grasp the shoe sole, which Lin Kaifeng mentioned was from a super Spirit Stone, something he didn’t quite understand either.
"Well, if you don’t believe me, you can learn the Heart Method later and we can go verify it. The Heart Method is short and easy; smart people like Brother Chen Tianlong should handle it in five minutes," Lin Kaifeng said with a smile.
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Tianlong started walking around the room.
Hmm?
This time, Lin Kaifeng was surprised. How could this guy start walking without even utilizing the Heart Method?
"Chen Tianlong, what about the Heart Method?"
"Oh, just now while you were explaining, I glanced over it, memorized it, and now it’s running," Chen Tianlong said breezily.
Lin Kaifeng’s eyes widened. He had mentioned five minutes to purposely praise Chen Tianlong’s intelligence; it wasn’t actually supposed to be completed in five minutes. It took him half an hour back in the day to integrate the Heart Method.
But now look, it wasn’t even five minutes; the man spent mere seconds. His adaptability is truly astonishing.
Lin Kaifeng couldn’t help but be in awe, believing it was right to recruit Chen Tianlong as the coach for the hundred-thousand-strong army.
The two didn’t delay any further, quickly leaving the weapon room and heading outside. Chen Tianlong eagerly ran the Heart Method and dashed towards an artificial hill about fifty meters ahead.
One second!
Whoa! Chen Tianlong nearly couldn’t stop in time and almost crashed into the artificial hill. Luckily, his quick reflexes allowed him to avoid the collision with a Ghost Shadow Flash.
"Turns out it’s true; these shoes are really incredible!" Chen Tianlong muttered after which he started running back, reaching Lin Kaifeng in about two seconds.
"Haha, do you believe it now?" Lin Kaifeng said with a satisfied smile.
"Uh-huh." Chen Tianlong nodded and chuckled, "So, no need to drive anymore."
"..."
Lin Kaifeng was speechless; actually, there was a flaw with the shoes he hadn’t had time to explain: "Chen Tianlong, these Flying Shoes have advantages, but also drawbacks."
"What drawbacks?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback and asked.
"The drawback is that they consume stamina, similar to how human motion works; it just shortens the time, but you still cover the same distance and thus expend a lot of energy," Lin Kaifeng explained. "So, unless necessary, it’s best not to use them; driving is a good option."
Seeing Lin Kaifeng grin, Chen Tianlong also smiled wryly, "I see. I thought I could use them all the time, that would’ve been fun."
"You could use them all the time, but only if your stamina holds up," Lin Kaifeng said as he led Chen Tianlong back. Today, he was to take him to the military camp to meet with the brothers and begin some preparatory work.
"So, if stamina is sufficient, could they be used indefinitely?"
"Smart, exactly. But for practitioners, stamina and Powerful Qi are the same. Without stamina, even if you have plenty of Powerful Qi, you can’t withstand opponents," Lin Kaifeng explained while leading Chen Tianlong to the garage as they planned to head to the main camp.
Chen Tianlong nodded thoughtfully, and soon the two reached the garage.
"Brother Lin, where are we heading?" Chen Tianlong, unaware of Lin Kaifeng’s itinerary, asked.
"To the military training base. It’s about time you met up with the brothers; they’ve been wanting to meet you after I told them about you," Lin Kaifeng said, smiling.
"Alright." Chen Tianlong smiled wryly but didn’t refuse since he had promised.
Thus, Lin Kaifeng’s capable assistant, Chen Lin, waited at the door with an Audi. Shortly after, Chen Tianlong and Lin Kaifeng got into the car, driving smoothly towards the training camp.
"Brother Chen Tianlong, tell me about your plan," Lin Kaifeng asked once the car was moving smoothly.
"Sure,"
In fact, Chen Tianlong had been meaning to discuss some plans with them, but he had been busy taking those young girls on outings and forgot. This time was different, as they were preparing for training. He said, "You arranged five special training squad leaders for me, right?"
"Yes, those five elites were selected based on the information on all members in the military, and they are among the best fighters in the army. Some have even reached the level of a one-star Profound Dao, and two have undergone formal military training. They seem pretty good," Lin Kaifeng said, proud of his selections.
"Oh, but I actually wanted to say they might not be the best choices. But since they’re already here, let’s make do," Chen Tianlong said lightly.
"Huh? Why do you say they might not be the best choices?" Lin Kaifeng asked, puzzled, as these individuals were all very talented.
Chen Tianlong gave a wry smile; he knew Lin Kaifeng would ask, so he explained, "Firstly, many would think those with training experience might fare better with further training, but I don’t think so; it’s quite the opposite."
"Huh? Quite the opposite?"
Lin Kaifeng initially thought Chen Tianlong’s explanation wasn’t satisfactory, as it suggested they might not be compliant or something. Yet, hearing Chen Tianlong’s explanation, it seemed more serious.
"Yes, these people may fall into the trap of their previous fields, and my training method differs from the formal military. I’m worried they’d require time to adapt, affecting the training progress," Chen Tianlong explained.
