Chapter 26: Minimalist Marine Six Styles – Simplified Shave

[You have thoroughly analyzed the theoretical foundation of Shave in the Marine Six Styles. After studying the technique performed by a hundred Marines and incorporating concepts from the lightness steps of your previous life, you have developed the Minimalist Marine Six Styles: Simplified Shave.]

[Marine Six Styles Shave involves stepping on the ground over ten times in an instant, using the reaction force's explosive speed for swift movement.]

[Minimalist Shave, however, utilizes the energy generated from Qi training to create an instant burst underfoot, producing the same explosive movement through reaction force.]

Ordinary Marines, when stepping on the ground with Shave, are propelled forward by the reaction force, building power with each impact. They accumulate multiple steps to compress and release all the rebounding energy in an explosive burst, launching themselves forward. This technique is complex and challenging to master.

However, with Minimalist Shave, a Marine only needs to gather and release Qi underfoot, achieving the same result without the need for multiple steps. This drastically reduces the difficulty level, making the technique far more accessible.

The downside, of course, is that the Qi method requires one to have developed Qi within the body. For ordinary Marines, cultivating this Qi would require mastering the Qi and Body Exercises to a high level. Only then would they produce enough internal energy to attempt Minimalist Shave.

But for Chiba and Hina, who had already awakened their inner particles and had a powerful Qi circulating within, the technique was natural. With their mastery of Nine Turns Wuji Xiantian Kung Fu, the Qi in their bodies was dense and potent, perfect for unleashing powerful Qi-driven Shave steps.

Chiba stepped outside the lab, focused his Qi on his soles, and released it in a flash.

Boom!

With a loud blast, the ground beneath him cracked, scattering gravel in all directions as Chiba propelled himself forward, covering a hundred meters in an instant.

Chiba frowned slightly. The speed was impressive, but the force left a sizable crater behind, and the energy consumption was considerable.

Still, he knew that with practice, he could reduce the Qi required for each Shave while retaining the same explosive speed.

With that settled, Chiba turned his focus to another technique: Moonwalk.

Returning to the lab, he delved into the next study, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

[You have thoroughly analyzed the theoretical foundation of Moonwalk in the Marine Six Styles. After studying the experience of a hundred Marines and incorporating the ancient concept of unity between man and nature, you have created a Minimalist Marine Six Styles: Simplified Moonwalk, also known as Electro-Light Dragon Step.]

[Moonwalk allows a Marine to perform rapid steps mid-air, using the reaction force to maneuver while airborne.]

[Electro-Light Dragon Step, however, harnesses Qi to resonate with the Qi of heaven and earth. The practitioner merges with the natural flow, moving through the air as effortlessly as a fish swimming in water. At its peak, the practitioner's speed rivals that of lightning.]

With this understanding, a new knowledge framework solidified in Chiba's mind, forming a complex yet elegant technique for Qi manipulation.

Following these principles, Chiba channeled his innate Qi through his body.

Suddenly, he felt as though he'd entered an extraordinary state. The air surrounding him, though seemingly chaotic, pulsed with an underlying frequency. He adjusted his Qi to vibrate in sync with this rhythm, and soon his body began to feel weightless, floating gently off the ground.

Chiba extended his limbs, feeling as if he were swimming through the air. He took a step forward, pushing against the air beneath his feet like a fish's tail flicking through water, propelling him smoothly forward.

Emerging from the lab, he continued to adjust, synchronizing with the stronger outdoor airflow, which required him to modify his Qi vibrations more frequently. He adapted quickly, each step honing his control over the Electro-Light Dragon Step.

As he moved, a visible white film began to form around his body. With careful focus, he molded the film into the shape of a dragon—a three-meter-long form with five claws that reduced air resistance and allowed him to glide through the air more smoothly.

With each step, he surged forward several meters, like a silver dragon slicing through the sky. Though his speed was moderate now, he knew it would increase significantly with further cultivation.

And once he advanced his Observation Haki, his sensing abilities would amplify, enhancing his Electro-Light Dragon Step even further.

Finally, with a flicker of silver light, Chiba returned to the ground, just as Peacock arrived.

Today, Peacock looked particularly striking. She wore a sun hat over loose, vibrant orange hair that spilled onto her chest. Her rose-red dress highlighted her curves, revealing a tantalizing amount of skin above and leaving her legs on display below.

At that moment, Peacock's beautiful face was filled with shock. Her peach blossom eyes were wide, fixed on Chiba with disbelief.

"You—you…" Peacock's mouth hung open, and she pointed her whip at Chiba, at a loss for words.

"Was that Moonwalk? No, no, it can't be… Moonwalk doesn't look that effortless."

She took a step closer, studying him with awe. "You were floating like you were strolling through a garden, as if you were swimming in the air. And that dragon-like film around you… How did you do it? Did you eat a Devil Fruit?"
