155: Chapter 155 Live Stream "Parkour": Traversing City Rooftops

155. Livestreaming "Parkour": Shuttling Between City Rooftops

Section 1: Parkour Preparation: The Leap from Training Grounds to City Rooftops

In the smart conference room of Taiji Villa, Chen Wu's team and staff from the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau gathered around a massive 3D city model, discussing the details of the "traditional martial arts Light-Body Parkour Livestream." The model displayed the "Ancient Street Rooftop Cluster" in downtown Taihang Mountains, where twelve Ming and Qing-style roofs were interconnected. The highest rooftop stood at 15 meters and the lowest at 8 meters, with gaps between them ranging from 1.5 to 3 meters. This site preserved traditional architectural features while being perfectly suited for demonstrating light-body techniques, making it the best location chosen by Chen Wu's team after screening ten urban areas.

"This parkour session isn't just about 'showing off'; it's about the 'urban combat application' of light-body techniques," Chen Wu said, pointing to the gaps between the roofs in the model. "We've practiced wall-jumping and light-body techniques at the training grounds; now we need to apply those skills in a real-world scenario. In future confrontations with the Spirit-Devouring Organization, we will likely need to pursue or evade them across city rooftops. Parkour is the best practical combat exercise." He also specifically marked several "danger points": "The tiles on this roof are slippery, so we must remind the martial arts fans to use the 'Stepping on Stone to Borrow Force' technique. This 3-meter gap requires the 'Light-Body Leaping Step.' The smart System will calculate each fan's Qi Energy parameters in advance and recommend the appropriate jumping method."

The technical team from the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau then presented the "Parkour Safety Guarantee System." An "Invisible Qi Energy Protective Net" would be installed along the edges of every roof—invisible to the naked eye, it would instantly deploy to form an elastic buffer layer if a fan slipped. Fans would wear "Qi Energy Positioning Bracelets" to monitor their location and Qi Energy status in real-time; if Qi Energy levels dropped too low or danger arose, the bracelet would automatically sound an alarm and initiate a rescue. They even deployed "Airbag Rescue Vehicles" on the ground to ensure absolute safety. "We will also install 360-degree panoramic cameras on the roofs to allow global audiences to experience the parkour process through a 'first-person perspective'," the technical head added. "Online viewers can also use the 'Cloud Parkour' System to simulate the experience in a virtual environment, enjoying the fun of light-body parkour."

Upon hearing the news, the enthusiasm of global martial arts fans far exceeded expectations. Within just 24 hours, 5,000 fans submitted applications. After a triple screening process consisting of a "Light-Body Foundation Test," "Acrophobia Assessment," and "Emergency Response Evaluation," 20 core parkour members were selected. They were divided into four groups of five, with Chen Wu, Grandmaster Yang Mingyuan, Lu Feng, and Hamid serving as group leaders. Among them, Wang Lei from Shanxi, Amir from Egypt, and Li Mengmeng from Yunnan (bringing along Xiao Juan, who could now jump walls independently) were successfully selected. Mr. Zhang, who had previously rushed the stage, also made the cut thanks to his "stable Qi Energy control." He posted excitedly on the traditional martial arts APP: "From impulsively rushing the stage to participating in parkour, traditional martial arts has taught me not just techniques, but also calmness and persistence!"

The day before the event, the 20 members arrived early at the Ancient Street Rooftop Cluster to familiarize themselves with the site. Wang Lei stood at the edge of an 8-meter-high roof; though he felt some fear of heights, he followed the "Qi Energy Heart-Stabilizing" technique Chen Wu had taught him, taking deep breaths to circulate Qi Energy in his Dantian, which soon calmed his nerves. Amir attempted small jumps between the roofs, his "Pyramid Slope Sprint" technique blending with light-body movements to make his landings exceptionally stable. Xiao Juan held Li Mengmeng's hand, practicing "Light-Body Tiptoe Steps" on lower roofs. The green lights on her smart sensory shoes flickered with her footsteps, her small figure moving across the rooftops like a nimble little bird. Chen Wu watched the members' performance and nodded with satisfaction: "In tomorrow's parkour, we won't just show light-body techniques; we will show the 'stability' and 'courage' of practitioners of traditional martial arts."

Section 2: Livestream Starts: A Light-Body Feast Between Rooftops

The next morning, the ancient streets in downtown Taihang Mountains were packed to capacity. On the ground, spectators held banners reading "traditional martial arts Light-Body Parkour." On the rooftops, the 20 parkour members were dressed in uniform "Light-Body Martial Attire," with colorful "Qi Energy Streamers" tied to their waists (which helped judge airflow and improve jumping stability as they fluttered in the wind). In the air, three drones circled, capturing the parkour action in real-time. The global livestream's "Multi-Perspective Channel" launched simultaneously, allowing viewers to switch between "Leader First-Person Perspective," "Member Follow-Cam Perspective," "Panoramic Overhead Perspective," and "Cloud Parkour Virtual Perspective." 198 billion viewers gathered across screens to witness this "traditional martial arts Feast on City Rooftops."

"The traditional martial arts Light-Body Parkour Livestream begins now!" Following Zhang Qiming's announcement, Chen Wu led the first group out. Standing at the edge of a 10-meter-high roof, his Dantian Qi Energy surged upward through his yongquan points, while dai vessel Qi Energy formed a thin layer of light-body energy around him. With a light tap of his toes on the tiles, his body rose like a feather, tracing a graceful arc through the air. He easily cleared a 2-meter gap and landed on the opposite roof. As his Qi Energy buffered the landing, the tiles didn't make a sound. The global livestream's "Qi Energy Analysis" panel displayed: "Jump height 1.2 meters, landing buffer efficiency 98%, light-body Qi Energy application rate 95%, approaching the practical combat level of 'Cloud Leaping Step'!"

The bullet chat exploded instantly: "So cool! This is true light-body parkour!" "Lighter than normal parkour!" "Teacher Chen's landing is so stable!" Wang Lei followed closely behind. He took a deep breath, and Qi Energy erupted from his legs. Though not as light as Chen Wu, he relied on his "solid wall-jumping foundation" to steadily clear a 2.5-meter gap. As he landed, his dai vessel Qi Energy naturally dispersed the force. He smiled at the camera and said, "Practicing on construction scaffolding wasn't for nothing! This rooftop parkour is easier than I thought!"

The second group, led by Amir, showcased the "Fusion of Light-Body Techniques and Regional Skills." When jumping between roofs, he integrated the "Slope Force-Borrowing" from the Egyptian traditional martial arts Team. By lightly tapping the slanted tiles, he could adjust his direction mid-motion, even performing an "aerial turn" across a 3-meter gap to avoid obstacles on the roof. The smart System's "Technique Rating" showed: "Force-borrowing application rate 90%, direction control score 88, overall score far exceeding other group members!" Egyptian viewers watching the livestream filled the chat with praises: "Amir is amazing!" "traditional martial arts knows no borders!"

The most heart-wrenching yet surprising was the third group led by Li Mengmeng. Xiao Juan was the only child in the group and the youngest parkour member. When she stood at the edge of a 10-meter-high roof, the audience on the ground held their breath. "Don't be afraid, just do as we practiced. Let the Qi Energy surge from the soles of your feet, like you're stepping on cotton," Li Mengmeng encouraged from the side. Xiao Juan nodded, closed her eyes, and recalled the feeling of wall-jumping training. With a light tap of her toes, her body leaped lightly. Though her jump height was only 0.8 meters, she steadily cleared the 1.5-meter gap and landed on the opposite roof, not forgetting to give a "peace" sign to the camera. The global livestream chat was instantly flooded with messages like "Xiao Juan is so brave!" and "A future light-body Great Master!" Technical Department data showed that at this moment, the global audience's "emotional resonance" reached 98%, a new high for the livestream.

The fourth group, which included Mr. Zhang, demonstrated "steady and solid progress." Although he lacked the natural talent of other members, he relied on his "one hour of Qi Energy training every day." Every jump was exceptionally cautious. His smart bracelet's "Qi Energy Warning" never sounded, and he was even able to use "Hard Energy pulls" to help stabilize teammates when they almost slipped. Chen Wu gave special praise during the livestream: "Mr. Zhang's progress proves that traditional martial arts light-body techniques don't rely on talent, but on persistence. As long as you keep your feet on the ground, anyone can 'fly' on the rooftops."

Section 3: Sudden Crisis: Spirit-Devourer Pursuit Drill on the Rooftops

Halfway through the parkour, as Chen Wu led the first group to the "Ancient Street Center Rooftop" (at a maximum height of 15 meters), the global live broadcast screen suddenly switched—the intelligent System simulated a "Spirit-Devouring Puppet Ambush." Three virtual Puppets glowing with a faint black light appeared from the other side of the roof, closing in on the team members. This was a "sudden crisis segment" pre-designed by Chen Wu's team to test the members' ability to apply light-body techniques in actual combat.

"Everyone attention! Use 'Light-Body Leaping Step' to pull away and use rooftop obstacles to evade!" Chen Wu's voice reached every member's ears through their bracelets. He took the lead in demonstrating—facing the Puppets' pursuit, he didn't resist head-on but stepped on the eaves of the roof, jumping rapidly. Every step landed precisely on the load-bearing parts of the tiles, and he occasionally used "Wall-Treading Qi-Exchange Energy" to adjust his direction, keeping the Puppets from getting close. The virtual Puppets' "Spirit-Devouring Energy attacks" grazed his Qi Energy Streamers but were blocked by the invisible protective net, posing no threat.

Wang Lei's reaction was also exceptionally fast—he used the chimney on the roof as cover, circled behind a Puppet, and used the "landing buffer from wall-jumping training" technique to land steadily at the Puppet's side. Although he lacked offensive capabilities, he bought time for other members to escape. Amir led his team to "leap lightly" from the 15-meter-high roof (with an air cushion rescue vehicle waiting below), organizing a "Ground Containment" immediately after landing to form a pincer attack with the members on the roof. Under Nurse Emily's protection, Xiao Juan hid in the rooftop attic and used "Light-Body Tiptoe Step" to help deliver "Qi Energy Supply Bottles," her small figure appearing remarkably calm amidst the crisis.

The most surprising person was Mr. Zhang—previously noticed for his impulsiveness, he now showed amazing "emergency response": when a Puppet approached Xiao Juan, he didn't panic but quickly calculated the distance between roofs, used "Light-Body Leaping Step" to jump to the Puppet's side, and then used "Hard Energy Push-Block" to lead the Puppet in the opposite direction. Although he almost lost his footing, he successfully protected Xiao Juan. Chen Wu couldn't help but praise in the live broadcast: "Mr. Zhang's growth is the best proof of the traditional martial arts principle 'train the heart before the energy'—when the heart is steady, one can make the right choices even in a crisis."

The crisis drill lasted for 10 minutes, and the three virtual Puppets were successfully "contained" by the team. When the intelligent System announced the "end of the drill," bursts of cheering erupted on the roof. Wiping sweat from his forehead, Wang Lei said to the camera: "That was so thrilling! I was more nervous than encountering an emergency at a construction site. Luckily, the daily light-body training wasn't in vain, otherwise, I really wouldn't have dodged the Puppets' pursuit!" In the global live broadcast's bullet chat, viewers were full of praise: "So realistic!" "This is true combat-oriented training!" The Technical Department's "Crisis Response Score" showed that the average success rate of the 20 members reached 85%, with the "Light-Body Evasion Rate" as high as 90%, fully proving the practical value of parkour training.

Section 4: Universal Interaction: The Global Carnival of 'Cloud Parkour'

The parkour broadcast featured not only the brilliant performance of the on-site members but also the "cloud participation" of global viewers—the "Cloud Parkour" System developed by the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau allowed viewers who couldn't be present to experience rooftop parkour simultaneously in a virtual scene. The System would generate personalized virtual characters based on the viewers' "Qi Energy basic data" (detected via the traditional martial arts APP). Viewers could simulate techniques like "Light-Body Leaping Step" and "Stepping on Stone to Borrow Force" through their phone's gyroscope or a controller to complete virtual parkour tasks and even team up with other viewers to participate in the "Global Cloud Parkour Competition."

In Amir's hometown in Egypt, a group of children gathered around a tablet, using the "Cloud Parkour" System to simulate parkour on the ancient street's rooftops. Ten-year-old Karim, relying on his Qi Energy foundation from "daily Stance Training," achieved a "Light-Body Qi Energy Application Rate" of 70% with his virtual character, successfully completing a "3-meter gap jump" task. He shouted excitedly: "I want to be like big brother Amir and do real rooftop parkour!" Nurse Emily in London, during her hospital break, led her colleagues in a "Cloud Parkour" team and integrated "light-body techniques" into rehabilitation training: "Through simulated parkour, patients' arm range of motion has significantly expanded, and their moods are much more cheerful!"

The data for the global "Cloud Parkour" was exceptionally bright: during the broadcast, the number of participants exceeded 50 million, and 30,000,000 viewers completed virtual parkour tasks. Among them, 80% of viewers stated that "through Cloud Parkour, they better understood the practical value of light-body techniques," and 60% expressed a desire to "sign up for offline light-body training." Zhang Qiming of the Traditional Martial Arts Protection Bureau announced during the broadcast: "In the future, we will launch the 'Traditional Martial Arts Light-Body Parkour World Tour' in 100 cities worldwide, giving more people the chance to experience rooftop parkour. Simultaneously, we will upgrade the 'Cloud Parkour' System to include more combat scenarios like 'Spirit-Devouring Puppet Pursuit' and 'Team Cooperation,' allowing everyone to participate in combat-oriented traditional martial arts training."

As the parkour broadcast neared its end, the 20 on-site members formed the giant characters for "traditional martial arts" on the highest roof of the ancient street. Drones in the sky synchronized their formations to spell out "Light-Body Protection," while virtual characters from the global "Cloud Parkour" formed the phrase "Global Traditional Martial Artists" across the screen, transcending national borders. Chen Wu stood in the center of the roof and said to the global live camera: "Today's parkour isn't to prove whose light-body technique is superior, but to tell everyone—traditional martial arts light-body techniques are not myths, but skills that can be integrated into life and used in combat; traditional martial artists are not isolated individuals, but a united global family." He raised the Qi Energy Streamer in his hand, "Whether on real rooftops or in virtual scenes, we are using the way of traditional martial arts to protect ourselves, protect others, and protect our shared home!"

Section 5: The Afterglow of Parkour: A New Starting Point for Light-Body Legacy

As the sun set, the rooftop parkour broadcast on the ancient street came to a Perfection. The 20 members left with a wealth of gains. Wang Lei planned to teach "rooftop parkour techniques" to his fellow construction workers for "high-altitude work safety training"; Amir prepared to start "Desert Rooftop Parkour" training with the Pyramid Traditional Martial Arts Team to adapt to his hometown's combat scenarios; Xiao Juan held the "Light-Body Martial Attire" signed by Chen Wu, vowing "to become the strongest light-body girl and protect the children in the mountains"; Mr. Zhang, through this parkour, completely shed his "impulsive" label and became a volunteer for the "Light-Body Training" section of the traditional martial arts APP, helping other martial arts fans improve their skills.

The final image of the global broadcast lingered on a panoramic view of the ancient street rooftops—the afterglow of the setting sun spilled over the tiles. Although the 20 members had departed, they left behind countless "light-body imprints": some were afterimages of Qi Energy Streamers, some were light trails from the intelligent System, and some were the cheers of the audience echoing over the ancient street. Neatly arranged text scrolled through the bullet chat: "Rooftop parkour shows true skill, light-body combat protects all; global traditional martial arts join in, bravely shoulder the duty to protect civilization!"

198 billion viewers lit up their screens simultaneously, forming a "Light-Body River of Light" that crossed national borders, intertwining with the sunset of the ancient street and illuminating the new starting point of the traditional martial arts light-body Legacy. Chen Wu stood at the edge of the roof, looking at the distant Taihang Mountains, as the Four Symbols Qi Energy in his Dantian slowly circulated. He knew that today's urban rooftop parkour was only the beginning of the combat-oriented application of traditional martial arts light-body techniques. In the future, with more city tours and upgrades to the Cloud Parkour System, traditional martial arts light-body techniques would no longer be "myths from Wuxia novels" but "protective skills" that everyone could master, shining even more brilliantly on the path of opposing the Spirit-Devouring Organization and protecting human civilization.

When the martial arts fans left, their "Light-Body Declarations" remained on the rooftops of the ancient street—some wrote in chalk, "Light-body technique isn't flying, it's the courage to keep one's feet on the ground"; some drew a bird spreading its wings; others left their "Cloud Parkour" scores, promising to compete again next time. That urban rooftop, carrying the light-body technique of traditional martial arts, also became a "New traditional martial arts Landmark" of Taihang Mountains City, attracting countless people to come and feel the charm of traditional martial arts: "Even with feet on the ground, one can fly."
