Chapter 89: Chapter 089: Is it a Monster?
```
Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Miss, it is precisely because of your narrow-minded thinking that Huaxia martial arts are in decline. Look around Huaxia now, who still takes martial arts seriously."
"Just look at young master Zhang, how magnanimous he is. You should know, back in our days, we would have done anything to learn these martial arts, even if it meant breaking our heads."
Ye Yanran’s face turned red. She had never been lectured by Uncle Fu before in all her years.
Zhang Fan, seeing Ye Yanran being scolded, couldn’t help but smile in delight. He had just witnessed the ghostly figure of Uncle Fu, could it be that was the Butterfly Dance Step Uncle Fu mentioned? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
As a man, how could he not admire strength?
Zhang Fan almost immediately nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Uncle Fu, just how terrifying are martial arts grandmasters?" Zhang Fan thought of the scenes from martial arts TV shows where characters soared through the air and felt his blood boil with excitement.
Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I’ve heard my master say that some can shatter a person’s internal organs with a shout and smash a tree that would take three people to wrap their arms around with a single palm strike."
Zhang Fan’s eyes gleamed, damn, wasn’t that just like in the martial arts TV shows?
"Uncle Fu, quickly teach me the Butterfly Dance Step and Thunderclap Palm," Zhang Fan said, impatient.
Uncle Fu smiled faintly, "You can’t rush these things. Let me demonstrate for you first."
As he said this, Uncle Fu began to move, with his hands behind his back and his feet beginning to take action.
"Would you like to spend one hundred Spiritual Value to initiate one hour of Skill learning?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Fan immediately activated Skill learning, his gaze intensely focused on Uncle Fu’s footwork.
He saw Uncle Fu’s legs slightly lead forward, his feet slowly lifting off the ground, and in the next moment, he rapidly shifted forward. That single step covered a distance of two meters.
"The basics of the Butterfly Dance Step rely on using one’s center of gravity and inertia to accelerate the body, and the center of gravity must shift with the movement of the steps," Uncle Fu demonstrated and explained the key points of the Butterfly Dance Step to Zhang Fan.
With Uncle Fu’s explanation, Zhang Fan also began to mimic Uncle Fu’s movements and started to move.
Leaning forward with his center of gravity, striding out, calves exerting force, his feet coming down smoothly.
"Tat tat tat!"
Zhang Fan took each step with difficulty, finding it hard to move with the same leisurely grace as Uncle Fu, each step causing his calves to ache terribly.
"Hmph, it took me half a year to learn the Butterfly Dance Step when I started," Ye Yanran mumbled under her breath, smiling lightly at the corner of her mouth as she watched Zhang Fan’s clumsy steps. She had finally found a moment to strike at Zhang Fan. Hmmph, let him bully her.
Uncle Fu stopped and turned to watch Zhang Fan’s movements, once again saying, "The center of gravity is very important; you need to change the direction of your center of gravity in the instant you land, coordinating with the force exerted by your feet. This way, your body can accelerate!"
Zhang Fan tried to adjust his state, changing the direction of his center of gravity as Uncle Fu had said.
"No, don’t concentrate all your strength on your calves, or you’ll ruin your legs. Feel the shift in your center of gravity, take smaller steps, and move in the instant your body begins to shift..." Uncle Fu continued to explain.
Zhang Fan realized what his problem was at this moment—the key to the Butterfly Dance Step was the center of gravity.
This time, he didn’t exert force with his calves as he had before, but instead leaned his body forward slightly and took a step the moment before he was about to fall.
"Thud!"
When he took that step, Uncle Fu’s eyes widened.
"Yes, just like that!" Uncle Fu exclaimed in surprise.
Having received Uncle Fu’s approval, Zhang Fan took another step. In that previous instant, he had found the feeling.
```
Soon, Zhang Fan’s body, like a gust of wind, began to run wildly, with great speed that was even faster than his full-speed running, and moreover, he could feel that he had hardly expended any physical strength.
The person who created the Butterfly Dance Step, a terrifying martial arts skill, must be a genius.
Ye Yanran’s mouth hung open in disbelief as she watched Zhang Fan. Damn it, this bastard understood the intricacies of Butterfly Dance Step in less than ten minutes. That’s just too damaging to one’s morale. She remembered that when she had learned this, it had taken her almost half a year to reach the point where Zhang Fan was now.
Uncle Fu was extremely surprised; he had never seen anyone grasp the secrets of Butterfly Dance Step within mere ten minutes before.
"Stop!" Uncle Fu’s eyes shifted, and he shouted at once.
At such a speed, he suddenly remembered his own outcome when he first ran wildly like Zhang Fan.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan tried to stop but found that his legs seemed to have minds of their own. His feet stiffened, and immediately, he fell heavily forward.
"Shit!"
Zhang Fan screamed as his body flew more than four meters away, landing face-first on the ground.
Fortunately, the ground was covered with grass; otherwise, the fall would have been truly memorable.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Zhang Fan’s body rolled on the grass, his head and face covered in weeds.
Uncle Fu quickly reached Zhang Fan’s side and said slowly, "Using your center of gravity to accelerate is only the first step. The real mastery of Butterfly Dance Step comes when you can change your center of gravity at any moment."
Zhang Fan’s face fell. Changing the direction of his center of gravity instantly in all directions–how was that even possible!
Uncle Fu smiled slightly, then leaned forward and took a big step ahead. Immediately after, he stopped abruptly and swung his body backwards. In the next instant, he stepped backwards, and then moved left and right, finally coming to a sudden halt, standing still.
Zhang Fan was dumbfounded; he had just experienced first-hand how difficult it was to suddenly change the direction of his body’s center of gravity while in motion.
"This sort of thing can’t be rushed. You have to understand it gradually. The young mistress has only just managed to change her center of gravity back and forth. You should know she’s been practicing for four to five years," Uncle Fu said with a sigh.
Butterfly Dance Step embodies extreme speed, and being able to control the sudden shifts of your center of gravity forward and backward is already a significant achievement. He had been practicing since he was young, and after decades of work, he had only achieved ease and freedom, moving as lightly as a butterfly.
Zhang Fan did not believe in the impossible. He didn’t have years to spend practicing this skill.
Immediately, he started to practice again.
Leaning forward, pausing, leaning back, he repeated the practice!
Twenty minutes passed, and Zhang Fan was running wildly on the grass. Suddenly, his body came to an abrupt halt, and he stepped backward, constantly changing forward and backward.
Ye Yanran felt like she was going insane.
That bastard who had bullied her had now mastered the spontaneous change of the center of gravity in just half an hour.
Damn it, it had taken her four to five years to reach her current level.
However, when she saw Zhang Fan’s body swinging unstable from left to right, she lost all her composure.
"Uncle Fu, did you withhold some secrets when you taught me?" Ye Yanran asked with a mournful face.
Uncle Fu’s eyes almost popped out.
Shit, what he taught Zhang Fan was just a few casual remarks he made. Apart from doing a few demonstrative moves, it was the same as when he had initially taught Ye Yanran.
Damn, was this kid a monster?
