Chapter 426: Chapter 295 "One Yang Finger" Breakthrough! The 5th Door, 6th Realm Absolute Skill! [Seeking Monthly Pass!]_2
...
Ma Hongniang gained a lot from Yan Chuan’s pointers, vaguely gaining some insight.
However, when distracted by understanding the "White Bone Temple," the gap became even wider when facing Yan Chuan in battle, often leading to dangerous situations.
"Good, Yan Chuan!"
"Watch my ’White Bone Banner’!"
Ma Hongniang was clearly outmatched, showing a trend of defeat. She stepped back a few paces without a word and waved the ’White Bone Banner’. In an instant, over a hundred white bones surged forth.
Each of these white bones was comparable to the iron-boned peak of Bone Training, having no vital points like flesh, blood, meridians, or acupuncture points. Yan Chuan’s "One Yang Finger" could greatly intimidate Ma Hongniang, but against these eerie white bones, it was ineffective.
White Bone Banner!
White Bone Forest!
"Just the thing to counter Yan Chuan!"
Lu Yuru stared at Yan Chuan on the stage, seeing the purple light emanating from him: "The third-rank ’White Bone Banner’, the White Bone Forest regrouping. Even Shi Qingke, who is charging through the Innate Dao pathway, would find it hard to break through this White Bone Forest in one go. How can Yan Chuan withstand it? With fourth-rank purple equipment, he might be forced to reveal himself in this round!"
Lu Yuru was hopeful.
Yet, just in the next moment, he saw Yan Chuan stepping with "Wave Riding Micro Steps," shuffling through the ’White Bone Forest’. His finger skills transformed into hand techniques, and as his palms intersected, they entangled the white bones.
Left palm with Yin power, right palm with Yang power!
Moments later, the Yin and Yang power gradually reversed, becoming Yang power on the left palm, Yin power on the right.
To the average person, it seemed like Yan Chuan’s palms were simply brushing through Ma Hongniang’s White Bone Forest without any apparent danger. But how could they know that Yan Chuan’s palm power was like a millstone, slowly revolving, as if grinding, eroding away the abnormal power within each of these white bones bit by bit.
This is——
"Yin Yang Mill!"
...
"Azure Dragon Spear?"
"Double Dragon Meeting?"
Gao Changyi stared wide-eyed at Yan Chuan, with his palms moving like a mill.
In his "Azure Dragon Spear," there was a similar killer move called ’Double Dragon Meeting’, capable of exhausting the energy and physical strength of an enemy. Yan Chuan’s turning palms, like a mill, dimmed the light on each white bone, surprisingly resembling this killer move.
"He——"
Gao Changyi was bewildered!
He couldn’t figure out if this move by Yan Chuan was something he originally knew or if he suddenly realized it from Gao’s "Azure Dragon Spear."
If it’s the latter, that’s really something!
And for Ma Hongniang, regardless of where Yan Chuan learned this move, it’s remarkable: "The more intense the force emitted by his palms, the more urgent, if I continue fighting, whether I can conquer the Hai Character Arena is uncertain, but my ’White Bone Forest’ is bound to suffer tremendous losses."
Ma Hongniang immediately advanced to pressure Yan Chuan: "Let’s see what’s strange about your palm power!"
White bones formed forests!
Ma Hongniang, at the peak of Bone Training, her entire strength had piercing qualities, with a sword in hand, thrust straight at Yan Chuan’s throat, giving him no chance to continue eroding the white bones.
A slaughter unfolded once more.
"Bring it on!"
"Fighting a skeleton is really boring."
Yan Chuan laughed loudly, shouted ’Sword Come’, and began competing in swordsmanship with Ma Hongniang.
On swordsmanship!
In his life, Yan Chuan was never weaker than others!
From the "Five Mountains Swordsmanship" to "Quanzhen Swordsmanship," "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship," and then "Dugu Nine Swords" to "Evil Exorcism Sword Skill," Yan Chuan’s swordsmanship background and his understanding of swordsmanship could be considered exceptional.
At this moment, as he battled with Ma Hongniang, with a treasure sword in hand, various swordsmanship styles flowed naturally, coming easily to him.
Applying all he learned throughout his life.
At the same time, by explaining Ma Hongniang’s swordsmanship, he also promoted and enriched his own swordsmanship——
"Ma Hongniang focuses on the ’White Bone Temple’ and phenomenal Bone Training, with her inner strength having extremely strong penetration, so her ’Fuliu Sword’ focuses on deploying her penetrative inner strength."
The ’Fuliu Sword’ is agile and light, flexible and changeable, advocating the unity of man and sword, using both sides interchangeably, transitioning between Yin and Yang, advancing and retreating, looping and folding.
"Bow step, horse step, exploratory step, Ding step, kneel step, raise step, crossed step, these are the ’Fuliu Sword’ eight major stationary postures."
"Additionally, ’Four-level Style’, which is divided into Upper Four-level, Hanging, Lifting, and Embracing the Furnace! Middle Four-level, Stable Tai Mountain! Low Four-level, Ground Lying Gold!"
"Ma Hongniang!"
"Fuliu Ten Sword!"
"The head is a sword, the shoulder is a sword, the elbow is a sword, the fist is a sword, the wrist is a sword, the finger is a sword, the hip is a sword, the crotch is a sword, the knee is a sword, the foot is a sword. Every part of the body is a sword, leaving no place undefended!"
...
Yan Chuan analyzed the ’Fuliu Sword’, fully dissecting its secrets of ’Man and Sword as One’, focusing on the ’Ten Swords’, where every part of the body was filled with sword Qi, practicing the penetration strength of the "White Bone Temple," transforming into fierce sword Qi through the "Fuliu Sword," often issuing from unimaginable places——
For example, in the ’Ten Swords’, the ’hip’, ’crotch’, could emit sword Qi, who could imagine? Who could prevent it?
Hiss!
Hiss!
Even Yan Chuan suffered, avoiding several dangers only by relying on "Wave Riding Micro Steps."
Clang clang clang!
Sword in hand!
Yan Chuan fought fiercely.
He intended to use Ma Hongniang, a well-matched opponent, to exhibit his self-created sword techniques in front of people, using "Mutual Teaching and Learning" to gather collective wisdom to enrich swordsmanship, elevating his understanding of swordsmanship.
Meanwhile, he accumulated inspiration for [Task Three: Six Meridian Divine Sword].
Ma Hongniang’s ’Fuliu Ten Sword’ emphasizes the unity of man and sword, with every part of the body as a sword, which benefits Yan Chuan’s development of the "Six Meridian Divine Sword."
Regardless of strength, in the aspect of ’Sword Qi’, it offers considerable reference value.
Yan Chuan battled and explained simultaneously, stepping with "Wave Riding Micro Steps," skillfully evading and maneuvering through the White Bone Forest to duel Ma Hongniang. Initially unfamiliar with the "Fuliu Sword", he found it troublesome primarily due to the harassment of the white bones. However, after exchanging forty or fifty moves, he completely understood the "Fuliu Sword," and effortlessly dealt with it.
In the latter half, as it appeared they were dueling swords, in reality, Yan Chuan was constantly neutralizing moves, continuously pressing to make Ma Hongniang reveal the essence of the "Fuliu Sword" more vividly and straightforwardly.
Constantly dueling swords.
Constantly explaining.
On the Hai Character Arena, white bones formed forests, with Yan Chuan threading through like a Zhe Xian, indescribably elegant and unrestrained. Ma Hongniang pressed with vigorous swordplay, appearing equally sharp. An average person could not discern who had the upper hand, perhaps even thinking Yan Chuan was being forced to jump up and down to avoid defeat.
But that wasn’t the case.
However, with Ma Hongniang having the protection of the White Bone Forest, she could retreat anytime, and if the offensive and defensive roles were reversed with Yan Chuan as the challenger, she could equally defend the arena effectively.
Unfortunately!
This time Yan Chuan was defending the arena!
Two people first competed with fists and feet, then with swords, equally matched, engaging intensely for a full two hours.
Two hours later——
"Time’s up!"
...
"Whew!"
Ma Hongniang sheathed her sword and waved the ’White Bone Banner’, a mist surged, and the white bones vanished. She cupped her fists toward Yan Chuan: "Brother Yan, your swordsmanship is superb, Hongniang admits defeat!"
The battle on the Hai Character Arena was Ma Hongniang’s first strike after losing her position as arena master, and although she was defeated, during this process, through Yan Chuan’s pointers, her "White Bone Temple" and "Fuliu Sword" both improved, making the visit worthwhile and the fight not in vain.
Of course.
Not only Ma Hongniang.
Actually, Yan Chuan’s gains were even greater——
...
[Your ’One Yang Finger’ improved, Fifth Realm of Mastery → Sixth Realm Refining.]
[Your ’Five Mountains Swordsmanship’ improved, Sixth Realm Refining → Seventh Realm Transcendent.]
[Your ’Yin Yang Mill’ improved, Second Realm: First Glimpse → Fifth Realm of Mastery.]
...
Abilities in martial arts all saw some improvement, with "One Yang Finger" achieving a significant breakthrough, now recognized as an absolute.
Besides——
...
[Task Three: inspiration +5]
[Task Five: inspiration +6]
...
The "Derivation Skill" in the six ongoing research tasks saw an increase in inspiration for both the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" and the "Heavenly Six Yang Palm" due to this battle.
