“I declare that Yao Ji has hereby passed this One Step to Heaven Test!”

The coach said with a smile, “Since you were late because you were understanding the movement technique, you’re forgiven this time. But what words did you just sing? Aiyaiyai?”

“Oh… that is the pithy formula of this movement technique!” Yao Ji answered immediately, “I’ve just learned this technique and have to chant the pithy formula to use it, which is why I chanted the words during the test.”

There is such a strange pithy formula? The coaches pondered.

“Okay, it’s late and we need to test other disciples. You can go now.”

The viewers watched as Yao Ji passed the test with his weird movement technique!

He didn’t only pass; he was only one step away from reaching the excellent rank.

It must be noted that Yao Ji, a good-for-nothing playboy who knew nothing but playing and eating good food, had seldomly passed tests!

But in front of everyone and under the supervision of the elder, he couldn’t have cheated.

How did he pass it?!

“Gongzi Yao!”

“Brother Yao!”

“Brother Yao, teach me!” When Yao Ji walked down from the field, several familiar figures walked up to him. In the Dao-Hearing Pavilion, they were the members of the four families who almost failed each test they took. Other than for Yao Ji, the other three were Yun Qing from the Yun Family, Ying Bei from the Ying Family, and Ji Changtian from the Ji Family. But today, they were astonished to see that Yao Ji suddenly revealed a movement technique that helped him pass the test and almost reached a good mark.

“How did you pass it?!” The first one who was walking up was a young master with triangle-shaped eyes. “Did you really go and learn a movement technique today!?”

“Impossible!” another young master said, “You played with us in the Thousand-Lantern Night Market yesterday. How could you master a movement technique in one short day?!”

“If you were so good, we wouldn’t have been subjected to disdain from Gui Nian and the others!”

“Of course, I’m not so good…” He beckoned at the others, telling them to lean toward him. “I found a great place in the Thousand-Lantern Immortal Market today!”

“What great place?!” The others’ interests were instantly piqued.

These playboys hated studying and were disrespectful to the academy, but none of them wanted to be regarded with contempt everyday.

Outside the academy, few people dared to slight them. But in this place full of ultimate geniuses from the eight major immortal families, it was the unspoken rule that the talented and powerful ones could lord over the others.

They had no place to complain when they were bullied.

“Have you guys heard of the Arcade Game Hall!?” Yao Ji asked in a low voice.

They walked out as they talked. The One Step to Heaven Test still had rankings to announce later, but Yao Ji wasn’t interested in participating in it. As a complete playboy, he wouldn’t lower himself to join this activity!

It was more important to go to the Arcade Game Hall and unlock new movement techniques.

Otherwise, his place on the learning machine would be overtaken by others!

It must be noted that until he left, he had been ranked No.1 on that learning machine in the Arcade Game Hall. No one had been able to overtake him!

“Arcade Game Hall!? What Arcade Game Hall?!” The others were puzzled.

“It’s on the Bright Lantern Street in Thousand-Lantern Immortal Market,” Yao Ji hummed the song and did a few dancing steps with strong rhythm. “Just like this. You’ll know later!”

“Huh-!?” They looked at Yao Ji and exchanged a look with each other, but they indeed felt a strange sense of rhythm and elegance in his moves.

They felt a very strong sense of dynamics.

Yes, dynamics! This movement technique was totally different from all the movement techniques that they had learned before!

They were wondering what kind of movement techniques could create such a sense of dynamics.

Soon, they followed Yao Ji into the newly opened High Immortal Arcade Game Hall in the Thousand-Lantern Immortal Market.

It was night, but the streets in the market were bright with lights and as lively as the day. With lights up everywhere, the place looked more prosperous than the daytime.

“High Immortal Arcade Game Hall!?” They looked up and saw this shop. Different from other shops, this shop had a sign with flashing immortal spiritual lights of all colors including red, green, and yellow, flashing under the night sky. The lights lent a dreamy feeling to the sign.

The door was open, and the entrance was covered by curtains that were as transparent as waterfalls. The fabric looked like glass but was soft to the touch and wouldn’t shatter as easily as glass.

“Wow-! There’s such a place?!” Walking into the shop after Yao Ji, Yun Qing, Ying Bei, and Ji Changtian looked around in amazement, feeling curious about each detail.

The shop wasn’t big but was brightly lit. The most eye-catching was the row of spiritual artifacts in the depths of the shop. A group of people were practicing all kinds of wondrous movement techniques on the platforms with three-by-three grids. They jumped on the platform accompanied by all kinds of music. When they did a perfect step, dazzling colorful lights would shine overhead!

“My goodness…” Yun Qing inhaled deeply and said, “These people look awesome-!”

“They are awesome?” Yao Ji said contemptuously, “They are doing the lowest level movement techniques in the shop. I, Young Master Yao, have activated the movement techniques of the second stage today!”

“I’ll show them to you later.”

“There are even better techniques?!” They looked at him as if he was a god.

“Young Master Yao, when did you become so awesome!?”

“But…” Ji Changtian glanced around and saw that all the spiritual artifacts were taken by people to practice movement techniques, and many others stood around them watching. He said, “Young Master Yao, there are no spots for us.”

“That’s easy.” Yao Ji walked toward the crowd.

“Huh?! Isn’t he the No. 1 on the Fire Power List?!” Someone immediately exclaimed in recognition. At this moment, one person just finished a session and received a score. Then, an eye-catching purple name appeared at the top of the list on the screen. [Grand Young Master Ji!]

“That’s him!” someone yelled in surprise, “Grand Young Master Ji! It’s said that he has activated the movement techniques of the second stage!”

“Do you want to see the movement techniques of the second stage?!” Hearing the exclamations, Yao Ji asked in a loud voice, “Who can lend me the spot? I’ll give him five immortal crystals!”

“Take mine!”

“Come here!”

Soon, a group of people gathered around him. The people dancing on the dance machines also stopped involuntarily and looked over in surprise. “Someone has activated the movement techniques of the second stage so soon!?”

“Let’s see what the movement techniques in the second stage look like!”

At this moment, Yao Ji stepped onto a dance machine, and his face looked proud under the light as he glanced around.

“Ahh-!” Screams sounded. People like, Yun Qing, Ying Bei, and Ji Changtian couldn’t help but join the screams.

Dong-ci-da-ci-dong-ci-da-ci. Yao Ji moved his feet casually on the Nine Palace Platform as if he was getting ready for the use of the movement techniques.

On the screen, the step directions looked different this time. Cubes floated upward, giving an even better visual experience. Meanwhile, a small 3-D figure demonstrated the steps on the screen.

When the music sounded, Yao Ji moved as if he was driven by some force. His feet slid on the dance machine as if he was a ghost, and his body swayed left and right. It was an extremely weird scene to the viewers!

“My Goodness!”

“This movement technique…!? The moves are as capricious as ghosts!”

Yao Ji chanted the pithy formula as he moved.

“Viumbe vyote vya mungu wetu na mfalme wetu.”

“Pazeni sauti ili nasi mwimbe…”

The first translation of the pronunciation in Chinese is ‘the small turtles on the left have big stomachs. Sa Beining is killing chicken, and Lily come here to wash your stomach.’ Sa Beining is a famous TV host in China]

Everyone wondered. Are these words…the new pithy formula!!??.
