Enlightenment

Just as Xing Tao was about to fall, a strange feeling surged into his heart.

"What's this!?" Xing Tao suddenly realized, "Could it be that fully unleashing the power of a cheetah requires imitating the movements of a cheetah!?"

Thinking of this, he immediately got down on all fours, using both his hands and feet, and his speed instantly increased significantly, escaping before the tiger could react. The tiger could only helplessly watch Xing Tao's back as he let out a deafening roar.

At this moment, Xing Tao, still running forward, wasn't sure if the tiger would follow him.

The trees on both sides were rapidly retreating, and Xing Tao seemed like a phantom, continuously dashing through the forest. Now, with his imitation of cheetah movements, he could perfectly demonstrate the cheetah's maximum speed.

The maximum speed of a cheetah can reach 120 kilometers per hour, and there are even records of some cheetahs reaching 146 kilometers per hour at their limit.

And the cheetah power used in Xing Tao's qi system was the most outstanding top cheetah, with a maximum speed reaching 150 kilometers per hour.

What kind of concept is this speed? It already exceeds the speed limit of highways (the speed limit on highways in China is 60-120 kilometers per hour). This speed means running 41.67 meters per second, almost four times faster than the world's hundred-meter champion Usain Bolt.

And for ordinary animals, such as horses, the fastest purebred horses can reach a maximum speed of only over 70 kilometers per hour in short sprints, which means Xing Tao is still twice as fast.

Don't underestimate this doubling of speed. When the speed reaches a certain level, even if it's only 10% faster, it's a huge difference. If placed in a hundred-meter race, this 10% difference is enough to make you watch the opponent's back getting farther and farther away.

And what's the concept of this doubling of speed? It means that in a sprint race, when you've just adjusted your state and pace, the opponent is almost at the finish line. As for Xing Tao's almost four times the maximum speed of a human, it's even more unbelievable.

In fact, in Jin Yong's martial arts world, the fastest light-footwork can only be a bit faster than horses in short sprints, and even slower than horses in long-distance running. In the original works, when Qiao Feng and his father competed in light-footwork, they only covered a little over a hundred miles in two hours. Even if we take the extreme 199 miles, Qiao Feng's speed would not exceed 25 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the world record speed for the marathon on Earth is only 21 kilometers per hour, plus Qiao Feng was walking on mountain roads, and he had twice the time. Thus, Qiao Feng's long-distance speed was only slightly slower than that of an ordinary horse; as for short sprints, he was at most 10%-20% faster than a horse's maximum speed.

So, now Xing Tao's cheetah speed is almost invincible throughout the entire world of Jin Yong's martial arts. Such speed is even like a ghost to people in the martial arts world.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

After running forward for more than twenty seconds, Xing Tao finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his speed slowed down. At this moment, he had already shaken off the tiger by two li (about 1 kilometer).

"Cheetahs are indeed famous for being long-distance running novices, they can't hold on after running for more than twenty seconds!! With the cheetah power I've gained, I'm almost at this level. In this respect, I'm far worse than cattle, horses, and donkeys!" Xing Tao said to himself, "Next time, if my qi luck reaches it, I must exchange for an animal with good endurance. By then, I'll combine the advantages of two beasts and directly kill that tiger!"

"But it's a bit regrettable. Why do I have to imitate all the movements of a cheetah!?" Thinking of all the conditions for fully unleashing the power of a cheetah, Xing Tao felt a bit annoyed. Have you ever seen anyone running on all fours while running? If others saw it, they would definitely call you crazy.

"But forget it, I don't care. I still don't know where I am in this deep mountain and old forest, especially now that it's dusk, the time when all kinds of wild animals are active. Now the power of the cheetah is my last card to save my life!" Thinking of this, Xing Tao closed his eyes, constantly recalling the inexplicable state he had entered into several times.

At this moment, a scene appeared in his mind:

A cheetah silently staring at a grazing antelope in the distance, then lowering its body, slowly approaching the antelope.

When the distance between them was close enough, the antelope, sensing something, stopped eating grass and looked around alertly.

At that moment, the cheetah suddenly jumped out of the bushes and pounced on the antelope at lightning speed. And the antelope also started at that moment, its hind legs pushing to the side, its whole body instantly leaping to the side.

At the same time, the cheetah

 twisted its waist, its tail drawing a graceful arc, and its whole body instantly changed direction along with the movement of the antelope.

Despite several changes in direction, the antelope couldn't shake off the cheetah, and the distance between the two was rapidly closing!

Finally, when the cheetah was close to the antelope, its left paw lightly tapped the antelope's hind leg. Immediately, the antelope lost its balance and fell to the ground. At the same time, the cheetah quickly followed up, pressing down the antelope's forelimbs with its forelimbs, and then accurately biting the antelope's throat.

The antelope struggled hard, but everything was in vain. In just a moment, the antelope suffocated to death.

At this moment, Xing Tao finally opened his eyes, a red light flashing in them as he exhaled, "This is the instinct of a cheetah hunting. As long as I can grasp it, I will have a certain capital in this 'Smiling, Proud Wanderer' world!"

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again, continuing to simulate the cheetah's hunting in his mind.
