I remained inside the shrine for nearly an hour, dedicating myself to practicing the first stance of the Royal-rank footwork technique.
The "Light Steps" movement pattern was deceptively complex, requiring precise coordination between breathing, muscle tension, and energy flow. Each repetition felt slightly more natural than the last, and I could sense my body gradually adapting to the movements.
The full ten percent agility increase wasn't immediately obvious during the initial attempts since I haven't mastered it yet, but as my muscle memory began to develop, I noticed subtle improvements in my reaction speed and fluidity of motion. My footwork became lighter, more responsive, with each step carrying me slightly further than before with the same amount of effort and energy spent.
