Chapter 83: Chapter 77: Knowledgeable and Well-Learned: Yan Chuan! [Thanks to the familiar gaze, big boss, for the 10,000 reward.]
"Brother Cheng, someone to carry on the legacy!"
In the stands, Luo Liang had been watching the arena where Yan Chuan and Wei Quan were fighting. Seeing Wei Quan defeat eight people in a row, witnessing Yan Chuan first instruct opponents then guide Wei Quan, with the boxing skills of both visible to the naked eye, Luo Liang couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Someone to carry on the legacy!
Not just Yan Chuan!
That Wei Quan, eighteen or nineteen, able to practice ’Copper Bridge Iron Horse’ and ’Tiger Form Boxing’ to such a level, and outside the academy, in the Martial Arts Hall, his talent truly isn’t bad.
And it’s heard he’s only been practicing martial arts for three years.
"Three years!"
"With this level of achievement."
"If nothing unexpected happens, in another decade, your Cheng Family Boxing’s third generation will be fully matured."
Luo Liang was deeply envious.

At that time, three generations under one roof, truly splendid.
Pity his family’s ’Secret Sect Boxing’, as it is now, the inheritance is already broken. With him as the head, below there is not one who becomes notable.
So sad, so regrettable!
"Brother Luo, in your prime, no need to worry too much."
Cheng Fengxiao’s words were pale, not knowing how to comfort.
He actually knew Luo Liang’s mind best at this moment, because just four months ago, he and Luo Liang were in the same situation. If it weren’t for Yan Chuan’s enlightenment, bringing with it great progress for Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang, and Wei Quan, how could ’Cheng Family Boxing’ be much better than ’Secret Sect Boxing’?
"Sigh!"
"Still, you, my old brother, are open-minded, passing both the Martial Arts Hall and Cheng Family Boxing to this big disciple of yours, and this big disciple is promising."
"What about me?"
"My eldest son, obedient indeed, but just dull, unenlightened."
"Second son, smart indeed but rebellious, entered the academy early, not learning my ’Secret Sect Boxing’."
"If only I had known before!"
"If only I had known, I should have passed the boxing to Shisan from the start! Though she’s a different surname, though a girl, after all, Wanhua is her aunt. With her talent, with her temperament, if I had wholeheartedly taught her ’Secret Sect Boxing’, how could I worry about having someone to succeed!"
Luo Liang also regretted.
There was once an opportunity, a good disciple once placed before him, yet he did not cherish it; it was only after losing it, only now, that he felt deep regret.
But it was too late!
Shisan?
Indeed not bad.
Cheng Fengxiao thought of that child, then looked at Yan Chuan on the arena, also somewhat regretful: "Sigh! All these foolish things done!"
Thinking back to these eight years.
Felt as if enthralled.
Simply lost his mind.
Cheng Fengxiao shook his head, returned to his senses, looked down again, only to find that it was no longer Wei Quan on the arena but had changed to Yan Chuan—
"Posture harmonious, adept and unrestrained!"
"To achieve this, the body, waist, and legs, hand skills must cleverly combine, especially the waist must be flexible."
On the stage, Yan Chuan could clearly be heard instructing his opponents while fighting.
His words were powerful and resonant.
On the high platform three zhang above, the eyes and attention of the elders were also drawn.
Beside Cheng Fengxiao and Luo Liang, Kang Sheng, one of the Songhe Five Elders, leaned toward Cheng Fengxiao and jokingly asked, "Master Cheng, your disciple is truly interesting, having the leisure to instruct opponents during competitions, in all my years, I’ve never seen anything like it."
"This inferior disciple loves to teach, allowing Senior Kang to laugh."
Cheng Fengxiao turned and cupped his fist.
Kang Sheng waved his hand: "Not laughing, not laughing, look at us old fellows, who would laugh at you? It’s envy that can’t come fast enough, to be able to teach such a disciple makes us truly envious!"
Kang Sheng’s words were not false.
Living to their age, the most desired is nothing more than a disciple who can inherit the legacy!
But when counting, under whose door does anyone compare to this disciple of Cheng Fengxiao!
"Can’t compare!"
"Can’t compare indeed!"
Kang Sheng sighed.
Off to the side.
Another person, Duan Jiu, known as ’Huayu’, adept with swordsmanship, was one of the eight fierce figures in Guangling County, collectively called the ’Guangling Eight Fierce’.
Among the eight fierce, Huayu ranked first!
At this time.
Duan Jiu cast a glance at the stage below, then looked at Cheng Fengxiao: "Brother Cheng’s disciple is young, yet what he has learned is extensive. Not only is the Cheng Family Boxing exquisite and superb, evolving and innovating his own ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’. Even in the niche ’Character Gate Fist’, he actually has profound attainment, remarkable!"
Duan Jiu is fierce but not foolish.
He too was amazed at a junior like Yan Chuan, unexpectedly possessing a grandmaster’s demeanor, especially at this time, a decade after Great Yan Buwu, for such a character to emerge from the old school, was indeed incredible.
"He is very diligent."
What could Cheng Fengxiao say?
He knew nothing!
Character Gate Fist?
This boxing style, among the eighteen boxing styles of Guangling Academy, is considered niche, with few practicing it, and even fewer understanding it.
But Yan Chuan—
"Force bounces and shakes, energy coils like silk, swallowing and floating naturally; qi must sink, skill must be pure, the subtlety shocks the spirits."
"Li Yijun, the energy route of ’Character Gate Fist’ can be divided into coiling silk power, shaking force, inch force, heavy strength, etc."
"Look at me, hands reach the feet follow, energy rises from the feet and releases from the legs, five toes grip the ground, energy sinks, footwork stable as if nailed, this is ’Character Gate Fist·Heavy Strength’!"
"Using qi to drive force, soft first then hard! Rises from the feet, releases from the legs, directed by the waist, all limbs exerting together, this is ’Character Gate Fist·Shaking Force’!"
"Releasing force like spring thunder! Sharp and crisp! This is ’Character Gate Fist·Inch Force’!"
...
Look at that, look at that!
Listen, listen, listen, listen!
This explanation! This guidance! Penetrating to the core!
Those who don’t know might think it a Guangling Academy professor of Character Gate Fist giving a lecture!
Simply ridiculous!
"Inch Force."
"Shaking Force."
"Heavy Strength."
Duan Jiu listened, carefully chewing over the words, considering in his mind, moments later, he said to Cheng Fengxiao: "Do not laugh at me, Brother Cheng, your disciple’s analysis of the Character Gate Fist’s strength, even I can benefit from it."
He sighed!
Entering Jianghu, time pushes years.
A new generation replaces the old.
He, over forty, with fierceness waning, looking at these newcomers, old, old!
In the arena.
On the high platform.
For the sake of face, to openly admit, like Duan Jiu, that oneself was instructed by a junior, learning from the teachings of a junior, there was no one else.
However, those who learned something were not only Duan Jiu.
Even.
Even Luo Liang.
Even Cheng Fengxiao.
Both of them gained something!
Besides—
"His name is Yan Chuan?"
At the center of the stands, Wang Kuan stood alone, hands behind his back, looking down at the arena, sighed: "A good seedling, what a pity!"
...
Below the arena, all eyes focused.
In the stands, the elites gathered.
Yan Chuan first instructed then acted, with continuous profound explanations of ’Character Gate Fist’, his voice loud, and among those listening, correct and thoughtful feedback constantly returned—
[Your ’Character Gate Fist’ has improved, skill level +5.]
[Your ’Character Gate Fist’ has improved, skill level +10.]
[Your ’Character Gate Fist’ has improved, skill level +22.]
[Your ’Character Gate Fist’ has improved, Third Realm: Entering the Hall → Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished.]
[Your ’Character Gate Fist’ has improved, Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery.]
...
[Task One: Inspiration +1]
[Task Two: Inspiration +4]
...
Inspiration!
Skill Level!
Both rapidly increasing!
Even the ’Character Gate Fist’, which Yan Chuan had not deliberately cultivated or pondered over, during the previous sessions at the Advanced Study Hall, and this arena competition, gained various feedback, passive growth in skill level, and unknowingly had already reached the Fifth Realm, Integration!
Yan Chuan!
Truly learned!
