Chapter 74: Chapter 71 Advanced Study Hall Closes: Time Flies! [1700 First Orders Bonus Chapter! 4000 Words Mega Chapter!]_2
Or a top-level boxing technique like ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’.
In short.
Once a breakthrough is achieved, Yan Chuan’s strength can greatly advance.
Mastery in boxing techniques is never solitary.
Take Che Qi for example.
He mainly studies ’Hu’s Stabbing Foot’, but for the past month focused intensely on ’Horse Stance Training’, and with advances in ’Horse Stance Training’, ’Hu’s Stabbing Foot’ has been nourished and has also made great strides forward.
Another example is Wei Quan.
His ’Tiger Form Boxing’ is only at the Third Realm, yet his ’Horse Stance Training’ has broken through to the Fifth Realm. On this foundation, not only has his ’Tiger Form Boxing’ progressed rapidly, but even at the Third Realm, the power exerted far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Don’t underestimate his recent defeat to Lu Jun; after all, he is a third-level research student at Guangling Academy, an elite comparable to Yan Chuan in July.
The fact that Wei Quan can contest for dozens of rounds already shows his foundational strength.
Yan Chuan operates on a higher level, but the principle is the same.
However, in these two months, the greatest achievement belongs to the progress of [Task One: Yijinjing]—
...
[Task One]
[Research Project Name: Yijinjing (Difficulty: Geng★★★)]
[Inspiration: 8]
[Completing the task can yield ’Experience +150000’, ’Spiritual +150000’.]
...
"July, August, September."
"Today is October 7th."
"In just over three months, [Task One] gained 8 points of inspiration, of which 6 points were during the time I established the Advanced Study Hall, significantly accelerating progress."
Altogether, Yan Chuan has only been running the Advanced Study Hall for two months—
Two months!
points of inspiration!
An average of 3 points per month. At this rate, the remaining 92 points would be completed within two and a half years at most.
Still a bit slow.
However, now, the Advanced Study Hall is being forcibly closed, and based on normal reasoning, the progress might fall behind again.
But fortunately—
"No fear if the Advanced Study Hall closes. In just over ten days, the ’Martial Arts Competition’ will happen, when all the heroes gather, it will be my grand opportunity to shine with ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, and the progress of [Task One] will surge upward."
Martial Arts Competition!
October 24th!
Countdown, only seventeen days left!
...
It’s also good that the Advanced Study Hall is closed.
With not many days left until the Martial Arts Competition, Yan Chuan can allocate more time to prepare for this event.
For this grand meeting, Yan Chuan has two goals—
"First is ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, to simultaneously gain feedback to increase martial arts accomplishment and acquire inspiration to expedite [Task One: Yijinjing]’s progress."
In which.
"Mutual Teaching and Learning" requires no special preparation.
[Task One] is already there, no need for Yan Chuan to fuss over it.
But such a grand meeting is rare for gaining inspiration, not only for [Task One]; Yan Chuan also wants to raise difficulty for [Task Two]—
"Usually, [Task One] is occupying my time, hard to complete, so I dare not set too high a difficulty for [Task Two], from ’Seventy-two Skills’ to ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’, from ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ to ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist’, from ’Divine Movement Transformation’ to ’Five Animals Qigong’, all within my abilities, can be completed within ten days to half a month, and benefit either my strength or the management of the Martial Arts Hall."
"The cost-effectiveness is very high."
"But during this Martial Arts Competition, solely developing ’Gui Level’, ’Ren Level’ martial arts would be too wasteful."
"The ’Geng Level’ difficulty of ’Yijinjing’ is not considered."
"But between ’Geng Level’ and ’Ren Level’, the ’Xin Level’ martial arts can be planned.’"
"The difficulty of the task ’Derivation Skill’ is divided into ten levels: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, each level ranked with five stars.
’Gui Level’ includes ’Seventy-two Skills’, ’Tiger Form Boxing’, ’Iron Wire Fist’, and ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’.
’Ren Level’ includes ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist’, ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’, ’Divine Movement Transformation’, and ’Five Animals Qigong’.
Going further up.
"In the ten levels, what rank is the third from last, ’Xin Level’ martial arts?"
"’Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber’?"
"’Qingcheng Basic Sword’?"
"Or ’True Heart Skill’?"
Yan Chuan is not sure, this needs to be tested.
But no rush.
Seventeen days are sufficient for him to develop another martial art technique, to support his second goal in the Martial Arts Competition—
"Martial Arts Competition!" frёeωebɳovel.com
"Besides ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, besides ’Derivation Skill’, it’s also about my ’Grandmaster Path’."
"The new era is not like the old days."
"Now, I no longer need to wander south and north, challenging everywhere like the old grandmasters."
"In the Martial Arts Competition, gathering the experts from all over the county."
"As long as I triumph over the competition, the ’Grandmaster Path’ will be clear, achieving the Grandmaster Realm!"
Grandmaster Realm!
No absolute strength!
Depending on the era, there can be strong and weak.
The strong are immortalized through history.
The weak shine only briefly.
There’s always a mountain higher than another.
"Guangling County is just the starting point of my Grandmaster Path, not the end!"
Yan Chuan is confident.
He glances at the "Derivation Skill"—
[Task Two]
[Research Project Name: Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear (Difficulty: Ren★★★)]
[Inspiration: 99]
[Completing the task can yield ’Experience +700’, ’Spiritual +700’.]
...
"Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear!"
This is a research task set by Yan Chuan, based on ’Cheng Family Boxing’ and ’Cheng Family Spear’, ultimately rated at ’Ren Level Three Stars’, two stars higher than ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ and ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist’.
In ’Cheng Family Boxing’, there is originally ’Cheng Family Spear’, but since it’s derived from boxing, its rating, which Yan Chuan has practiced and roughly assessed, is only around ’Gui Level Five Stars’, comparable to ’Iron Wire Fist’, ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’.
Even Yan Chuan later created two peak boxing techniques of the Cheng family, raising the ’Cheng Family Spear’ one or two notches, it is hard to surpass the ’Gui Level’.
Weapons!
Spear Technique!
These are very important!
Facing swords, spears, and halberds bare-handed is inherently disadvantageous.
Moreover, Yan Chuan has the ’Red Tassel Spear’, and ’Treasure Rock’, so he needs to leverage his advantages to the fullest.
Therefore.
A systematic spear martial art is absolutely necessary.
Thus ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’ came into being.
Since September 17th, after successfully developing ’Five Animals Qigong’, Yan Chuan plunged into the development of this spear technique, taking a total of twenty days, and today it is about to reach completion.
"With the development of this spear technique complete, my martial arts foundation is considered initially formed, henceforth, it’s just about touching up, supplementing other weak areas based on fist and feet, weapons, and qinggong."
Yan Chuan flips through the historical treatise "Martial Arts Scripture", reviewing the essential techniques of the eighteen schools of spear fighting in it, and ponders deeply.
"The martial arts research in ’Derivation Skill’ never comes out of nowhere; it is the gradual accumulation of Yan Chuan himself, where once knowledge in various fields is sufficient, through ’inspiration’ and then ’enlightenment’, sorting and creating a system, only then it is formed."
Therefore, reading, contemplating, practicing, rehearsing, and observing various schools, are all indispensable.
Yan Chuan already has very rich experience in creating martial arts, by the time of ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’, he is already adept.
The past twenty days.
Also benefited from the Advanced Study Hall with its disciples of the Hundred Schools, carrying the Hundred Schools Martial Arts, accumulating inspiration smoothly.
Inspiration grew day by day.
Progress improved day by day.
Finally.
Today.
[Task Two: Inspiration +1]
...
[Task Two]
[Research Project Name: Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear (Difficulty: Ren★★★)]
[Inspiration: 100]
[Completing the task can yield ’Experience +700’, ’Spiritual +700’.]
...
’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’, development complete!
...
Cultivation!
Cultivation!
Cultivation!
Since the closing of the Advanced Study Hall, Yan Chuan has more time dedicated to research and cultivation.
Regarding cultivation, after the successful development of ’Five Animals Qigong’, Yan Chuan’s strength has been rising ever faster.
The internal energy condensed from ’Five Animals Qigong’ bloomed and circulated within his body, nurturing it like spring rain, not only healing hidden injuries caused by cultivation but also nourishing his qi-blood, muscles and bones, skin, and even the five internal organs and six hollow organs, strengthening him from within to without.
Body healthier!
Foundation more solid!
In this condition, with a better spirit, the progress in boxing techniques accelerates.
Coupled with secret medicine, Yan Chuan’s qi-blood, advancing rapidly with each day!
...
Time flies.
As if the closer it gets to the Martial Arts Competition, the faster time passes.
On the night of October 1, Cheng Fengxiao and Yan Chuan, as master and disciple, teamed up to kill a black-clothed man, resulting in Song the Chief of Huiyou Escort Agency dying tragically at home.
By noon October 2, Cheng Fengxiao opened the ’Star Stone Star Gate’, initially entering the ’Mountain and Sea Realm’.
On the afternoon of October 3, Tian Hu and Lu Qing provoked the Advanced Study Hall, and Yan Chuan, transformed into ’Wang Yu Yan’, gained fame with precise predictions.
On October 7, Che Zheng visited, and the Advanced Study Hall went out of business.
After that, Yan Chuan stayed at the Martial Arts Hall, not stepping out, akin to closed-door cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
It’s already October 20.
And in Guangling City, by October, it has become completely lively.
