Chapter 383: Chapter 274: Ding Xiang’s Movement Technique, Ban Xianfu’s Knife! A Technique of Absolute Excellence, Aspiring to the Earthly List! [2nd Update!]
Yan Chuan fully unleashed the intricacies of "Shadowy Charm."
Long ago, when he began climbing the cliff and explained Ding Xiang, due to Ding Xiang’s simple-mindedness, Yan Chuan easily acquired all of Ding Xiang’s insights into "Shadowy Charm" through "Mutual Teaching and Learning" and made them his own, reaching the Fifth Realm, achieving Integration.
Thereafter, as he continued to climb the steep cliff, he kept seeking people, continuously giving martial arts lectures, inspiring many to reflect and have numerous insights, constantly receiving feedback through "Mutual Teaching and Learning." Through this, Yan Chuan achieved the greatest progress in the "Ladder Cloud Jump," which he had always used, but other Qinggong techniques, like "Divine Movement Transformation" and "Wave Riding Micro Steps," also improved.
Among them was naturally "Shadowy Charm."
Thus, although Yan Chuan reached the Cang Mountain and only first encountered the secret manual of "Shadowy Charm" at Tian Jing Mansion, his skill in this Absolute surpassed Ding Xiang and even surpassed Wei Luofang, making him the genuine first.
He began to lecture at this moment.
He imparted the mnemonics.
Those who did not understand "Shadowy Charm" perhaps felt puzzled, but Ding Xiang certainly did not.
"Left spin, right spin, the world spins; gather Qi to Dantian, push forward with palms. Face north, back south, turn toward the sky, intention follows between palms. Focus Qi on Dantian, move with one Yang, collect back and forth at two points. Bow to Buddha, palms together at chest, True Qi spins through it."
"Shadowy Charm!"
"So that’s it!"
Ding Xiang reached Great Enlightenment, with the endless mysteries of "Shadowy Charm" overwhelming her mind. Initially intimidated by Ban Xianfu’s Sword Intent, resentful, and Killing Intent, she could not utilize even three parts of ten of her strength, dodging left and right, retreating step by step. Now, she finally steadied herself, her Qinggong ascended to another level, her movement technique even more profound. Suddenly, on the arena, there was light everywhere and shadows dancing everywhere.
The blade shines, shadows fade!
The blade disappears, shadows dance!
Many spectators outside perhaps couldn’t see clearly or understand, but a group of Innate Grandmasters in the sky saw clearly that Ding Xiang experienced an enlightenment, after significant progress in "Shadowy Charm." Her Qinggong and movement technique became extraordinary, surrounding her with a layer of natural Gang Qi, protecting her body and enhancing her movement technique.
Ban Xianfu wielded the ’Avici Blade,’ strike after strike, Killing Intent pervading the entire venue, but it no longer posed a threat to Ding Xiang.
Shadowy Charm!
Perpetual Transformation!
Ding Xiang was immersed in the mysteries just enlightened, endless insights pouring in, she took the opportunity to verify them with Ban Xianfu’s invincible blade skill.
Her Qinggong proficiency climbed step by step.
Among them was both her own comprehension, an outburst of her martial arts accumulation over six years, and also the foundational strength of her mentor, Wei Luofang, who devoted his life to the "Cloud Smoke Skill" and "Shadowy Charm," exploding together into the capital of Ding Xiang’s insights.
Simultaneously, Yan Chuan was outside, speaking fluently, conveying all the mysteries of "Shadowy Charm," and Ding Xiang, possessing ’Mind Reading Technique,’ received it entirely and absorbed it madly.
"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"
"The wonder of movement technique reaches such a point!"
Ding Xiang was delighted beyond words.
She once thought she had fully grasped Wei Luofang’s Qinggong movement technique, drained Elder Wei’s foundation, and had already reached the Peak in Qinggong movement technique.
Until now, she realized there are worlds beyond worlds, she had always been a frog in the well.
"Qinggong!"
"Movement Technique!"
"Technique nearing Dao!"
"Endless!"
"Various Martial Arts are vast and profound, merely this Qinggong movement technique alone is also infinite, worthy of lifelong pursuit and exploration!"
Ding Xiang was thoroughly fascinated, utterly enamored with this ethereal feeling.
"Kill!"
Ban Xianfu’s blade skill was sharp, teeming with Killing Intent in every slash.
Ding Xiang had already understood the Dao, while Ban Xianfu kept killing, killing, killing.
Ding Xiang had no need to confront head-on.
Her movement technique was equally refined to the Absolute Peak, in the gleam of Ban Xianfu’s blade, she didn’t fear a bit, moving easily and with a relaxed finesse.
"Ding Xiang’s movement technique!"
"Ban Xianfu’s blade!"
"Both are absolute!"
"With this absolute, in the ’Earthly List’ there should be their name!"
Tian Jing’s eyes shone brightly.
Five Realms Peak!
An absolute skill!
This is the admission standard for the ’Earthly List’!
Ding Xiang!
Ban Xianfu!
Merely judging by their performance in this battle, they’ve already reached the level of the Earthly List!
This battle was a Peak duel of saber skill and movement technique.
Wonderful!
Wonderful!
Too wonderful!
...
"Ding Xiang won!"
"Ban Xianfu’s blade skill at the Peak, but still not Ding Xiang’s match!"
"No, no!"
"It’s not Ding Xiang winning, nor Ban Xianfu losing, just a failed attack on the ring!"
"Ding Xiang is incredible! Qinggong movement technique has reached such a level; with this movement, Ban Xianfu can’t help her and she stands in an invincible position. With her guarding this ’Xu Character’ arena, who can attack it down?"
...
The Peak duel between Ding Xiang and Ban Xianfu was heart-shaking, the audience was shocked, and all contestants, top Heavenly Prides, felt their breath seized at their chest.
Thoughtfully reflecting.
Are they stronger than Ban Xianfu?
No, they’re not!
Then, Ding Xiang, whom Ban Xianfu struggled to take down after attacking for two hours, they naturally cannot defeat either.
Attack?
Defend?
Ding Xiang needs neither.
With this movement technique, she can attack if advancing and dodge if retreating; no one can handle her.
Xu Character Arena!
Challenging indeed!
This is also evident from the registration in the second two hours—
"Xu Character, challengers, zero."
...
When Ban Xianfu was fiercely attacking Ding Xiang, two hours passed in an instant.
Long attack, no success!
Attack failed!
This battle was unexpected, not because Ban Xianfu failed to attack successfully, but because the strength exhibited by Ban Xianfu and especially Ding Xiang during this battle was startling.
"Hidden Dragon" second VS "Chufeng" fifth!
Strong competition!
No winner decided!
During this two-hour period, more than half of the audience’s gaze was focused on the ’Xu Character’ arena.
Only after this battle concluded did they have the leisure to look at the other three challenged arenas.
