Chapter 407: Chapter 286: Not Good! Someone is Proving Dao! [End of Month! Vote for Monthly Ticket!]
Ying Jifeng’s mastery of leg techniques—
Floating, Limping, Kicking, Lifting!
Circling, Brushing, Stomping, Poking!
Lifting, Pointing, Shaking, Kicking!
When unleashed, they’re rapid!
His legs employ the five forces: soft, pliable, hard, brittle, slippery, all thoroughly embodied.
"Soft Power, when the enemy advances, I retreat; when they retreat, I advance, following their momentum, borrowing their strength."
"Pliable Power, not exerting blunt force, not rigidly obstructing; free and relaxed when untouched, but when contact is made, force erupts from within, able to topple walls and break barriers."
"Hard Force, advancing forcefully, clashing, crashing, lifting, countering with firmness."
"Brittle Energy, channels the entire force through legs and feet, featuring both Ming Energy and brittle energy."
"Slippery Force, an elusive force, adapting to changes, subtle as turning the wheel, leaving the opponent with no opening to attack."
Ying Jifeng’s transformation among the five forces is enough to handle all changes.
Yan Chuan counters with "One Yang Finger," using the index finger to strike acupoints, the finger can be slow or fast; slow is elegant and graceful, fast is as swift as lightning, yet the finger lands with pinpoint accuracy.
Relying on movement technique, in the perilous struggle with Ying Jifeng, he uses this finger technique to approach and strike Ying Jifeng’s acupoints, either closely or from afar, attacking and retreating, truly a supreme method for defeating the enemy and protecting oneself.
The Fifth Realm’s peak "One Yang Finger" has long achieved great success, capable of projecting force through the air to injure, with enormous power.
"One Yang Finger" fiercely clashes with "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg"!
Fifth Realm against Fifth Realm!
Geng Wu against Geng Wu!
In the situation where Ying Jifeng intentionally suppresses his cultivation and controls his inner strength, the two exchange moves back and forth, truly a match between worthy opponents, relying solely on the intricacies of their martial arts, without any other influencing factors.
What they are competing with are purely martial arts skills!
"Such sharp finger techniques!"
Ying Jifeng was secretly amazed seeing the "One Yang Finger."
Just one technique, "Wave Riding Micro Steps," is already enough for Yan Chuan, with his cultivation nearly at Postnatal Peak and after breaking through the Limit-breaking Peak, to reach the top tier of the "Hidden Dragon" and "Chufeng" lists, even promising to enter the "Earthly List" ranks.
Adding this, no less accomplished than Ying Jifeng in the "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg," "One Yang Finger"—
"Given time!"
"The ’Earthly List’ will certainly have his name!"
Ying Jifeng understands clearly now, what he definitively surpasses Yan Chuan in is only cultivation.
However—
Martial Arts Accomplishment is Martial Arts Accomplishment!
Cultivation is also crucial.
"No matter how deep the martial arts, if cultivation falls behind, unable to break through to Innate, it’s all in vain."
Below Innate!
They are all ants!
"Once I breakthrough with ’Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg,’ Innate will be within reach."
"As for Yan Chuan!"
"Postnatal Fifth Layer, Innate is still far off!"
Ying Jifeng’s thoughts shift, and his leg techniques become more ferocious.
Unfortunately, the two quarters of an hour pass in a blink, as he still relishes the fight—
"Time’s up!"
"’Hai Character’ arena! Successfully defended!"
...
"How was it?"
"Too strong!"
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads.
At the start, for the first half an hour, Yan Chuan only used "Wave Riding Micro Steps" to evade the fight, which already put considerable pressure on him, eventually forcing him to use "Shadowy Charm" to extricate himself and rescue the situation, thereby defending the arena.
Later, Yan Chuan faced Ying Jifeng’s "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg" with "One Yang Finger," and although it was mainly an exchange of skills, the profound leg techniques of Ying Jifeng did indeed pose significant pressure.
"In a direct confrontation, I can’t last beyond a hundred rounds!"
Inner Strength and Inner Power!
Sinew, Bone, Skin, and Membrane!
Ying Jifeng’s cultivation completely overwhelms Yan Chuan in every aspect, and even though Yan Chuan has considerable accomplishments in boxing, finger skills, swordsmanship, etc., once they clash, with fists and feet colliding, and strength against strength, the ensuing vibrations leave his hands and feet numb, how could he continue to fight?
"Top ten of ’Hidden Dragon’!"
"Top ten of ’Chufeng’!"
Even the top twenty, their cultivation is not lacking either.
This is the realm Yan Chuan finds difficult to reach and cope with.
But precisely—
"The next round’s three teams—"
...
"’Red Robe Gold Saber’ Sun Gui Fen, ranked twelfth in ’Chufeng’!"
"’Ghost Shadow’ Guo Xi, ranked fifteenth in ’Chufeng’!"
"Twentieth in ’Chufeng,’ ’Never Loses Out’ Zhang Qin!"
On the second day of the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ the ninth hour, in the afternoon round, the three teams drawn for the ’Hai Character’ arena, all led by those ranked in the top twenty of the ’Chufeng List’!
Yan Chuan!
In danger!
...
"’Red Robe Gold Saber’ Sun Gui Fen!"
"Ranked twelfth in ’Chufeng,’ her strength is not necessarily weaker than Ying Jifeng’s. We’ll not fight her!"
As soon as they entered, Wang Zhengyi quickly deployed the ’Mirage Pearl’ to conjure a thick fog, avoiding the fight.
But Yan Chuan was in no hurry to use the ’Vajra Pet,’ nor urgently performed combos: "Sun Gui Fen, though strong, cannot break the ’Mirage Pearl’; let her wander in the fog on the stage, hopefully ensuring a peaceful transition through the hour."
’Vajra Pet,’ no rush!
’Big Handprint,’ no rush!
"There’s no need to hastily dispatch Sun Gui Fen, simply wait. If Guo Xi or Zhang Qin afterward have ways to break the ’Mirage Pearl,’ it will inevitably be another tough battle. There’s no need to invite unnecessary strife."
Wang Zhengyi quickly caught on.
If they could drag through an hour, it would count as a successful defense, there’s no need to see Sun Gui Fen enter vertically and exit horizontally.
Just wait it out.
"Yan Chuan!"
"Do you have the guts to disperse the fog, what kind of hero are you, hiding and skulking?"
In the fog, Sun Gui Fen couldn’t see her hand in front of her face, constantly moving, searching, and challenging, yet stayed with her teammates, never separating.
Wang Zhengyi remained vigilant.
Yan Chuan couldn’t be bothered to respond.
He took out the ’White Horn Trumpet,’ stood at the edge of the arena and fog, scanning the other eleven arenas, quickly focusing on Ma Hongniang, the arena master of the Si Character Arena who had just used an exotic treasure to successfully defend.
The Si Character Arena was like a forest of white bones.
And as for the challenger—
