Chapter 404: Chapter 284: Wave Riding Micro Steps, Evading Battle Without Appearing! 【End of the month, asking for monthly tickets!】_2
This way, Yan Chuan has the condition to use "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and "One Yang Finger," first dealing with Qi Zhicai and the others one by one, leaving only Zhuge Zhen as the lone commander. Then, joining forces with Wang Zhengyi to attack from both sides, they can suppress Zhuge Zhen and secure the victory.
But Ying Jifeng is different—
He is more powerful!
Ying Jifeng’s team is also different—
The other four are also stronger!
This leads to Yan Chuan’s side—
Wang Zhengyi can’t intervene.
Yan Chuan’s "Wave Riding Micro Steps" has an advantage, but it’s not an absolute one, as he is closely pursued by Ying Jifeng and others, never finding the chance for a one-on-one confrontation against Xiao Ti, Chang Shuang, and others. Even when an opportunity for single combat arises, before a few moves decide the outcome, others would close in and resolve the situation.
The opposing team remains intact!
Yan Chuan’s pressure continues to increase.
Anyone with insight can see that even if this time Ying Jifeng still fails to take the ’Hai Character’ arena, Yan Chuan will be driven to exhaustion—
Inner Strength!
Inner power!
Physical strength!
Energy!
Mind!
In fierce clashes, under constant pressure, even avoiding battle, even without further direct confrontations, Yan Chuan will be greatly exhausted, making it difficult to participate in another battle of the same intensity in the short term.
Yan Chuan!
Already showing signs of decline!
...
"Yan Chuan!"
"The ’Hai Character’ arena!"
"This battle lasted a full two hours. Whether Yan Chuan’s defense succeeded or Ying Jifeng’s attack succeeded, the final arena master is heavily consumed, their strength greatly diminished, which makes it the best time to seize the ’Hai Character’ arena!"
"Next round!"
"Great opportunity!"
...
With the ’non-contact’ confrontation on the ’Hai Character’ arena still ongoing, although there is no clash of fists or weapons, the shadows flying around the arena create a level of excitement, intensity, and thrill that is no less than the life-and-death exchanges on other arenas.
Exquisite!
Exciting!
This battle made many viewers exclaim with satisfaction, while more strong warriors below the arena keenly sensed an opportunity—
"Chufeng" ranked twelfth ’Red Robe Gold Saber’ Sun Gui Fen!
"Chufeng" ranked fifteenth ’Ghost Shadow’ Guo Xi!
"Chufeng" ranked twentieth ’Never Suffer a Loss’ Zhang Qin!
"Hidden Dragon" ranked fourteenth ’Sangmen Spear’ Gao Changyi!
"Hidden Dragon" ranked eighteenth ’Constantly Defeated Expert’ Chai Hongshun!
"Hidden Dragon" ranked thirty-eighth ’Snow Flying Cranes’ Liu Guanlan!
"Hidden Dragon" ranked fifty-second ’Outer Heaven Jade Dragon’ Zhuge Zhen!
"Hidden Dragon" ranked seventy-fourth ’Thousand-Handed Sword Ape’ Yin Ye!
...
The two lists, "Chufeng" and "Hidden Dragon," are filled with experts yearning for the arena master, eyeing the ’Hai Character’ arena.
Not just them.
Additionally, two teams that could no longer withstand the high-intensity defense and attack on the arena were driven off—
One was the original ’Wei Character’ arena, led by "Chufeng" ranked seventh ’Cold Plum Fairy’ Ying He.
One was the original ’Si Character’ arena, led by the out-of-list genius ’Iron Fire Judge’ Peng Fannian.
On the second day, barely halfway through, two arenas had already changed hands, indicating intense battles.
Ying He!
Peng Fannian!
After losing their arenas, instead of thinking about taking them back, they set their eyes on the ’Hai Character’ arena, focusing on Yan Chuan!
...
"Martial arts can’t defeat exotic treasures!"
"Is that what it means?"
"Peng Fannian is extremely powerful; currently, he can be considered the fourth person after Ding Xiang, Ban Xianfu, and Wei Lingshan, comparable to Jing Bao on the ’Chen Character’ arena, worthy of being ranked fifth."
Yet, this kind of figure was forced off the arena by ’Chufeng Rank’ eighty-first ’White Bone Immortal’ Ma Hongniang wielding the exotic treasure ’White Bone Banner’.
Not only Peng Fannian!
Also Ying He!
An eminent "Chufeng" seventh, with four teammates either famous in the ’two lists’ or having similar strength to those individuals.
The five together guarding the ’Wei Character’ arena were nevertheless caught off guard and lost their arena to ’Chufeng’ forty-fourth ’Starry Sky’ Cai Ru’an using the exotic treasure ’Five-Colored Stone’.
"Third-Rank Blue Equipment ’Five-Colored Stone’!"
"Fast speed, a hundred shots a hundred hits; once unleashed, the opponent can’t avoid it, even Ying He finds it hard to dodge. But it has small power, only enough to injure the opponent, not deliver a fatal blow."
"Third-Rank Blue Equipment ’White Bone Banner’!"
"White Bone Forest in the White Bone Banner! Similar to Zhuge Zhen’s ’Hornet Bag’, nourishing the ’Centipede Bee Group’, but in the ’White Bone Banner’, it nourishes the forest of eerie white bones breaking limits, making up tens as many, hundreds and thousands as a forest, over a hundred white bones forming a spiritual formation, even Peng Fannian would flee in terror!"
Lu Yuru looked at the blue light on the two arenas, nearly drooling with envy.
Another two blue equipments!
Even when Ma Hongniang and Cai Ru’an were still below the arena, unable to draw a match, Lu Yuru already spotted the faint blue light on them, knowing they must possess Third-Rank Blue Equipment, not to be underestimated.
When this round came, both drew matches and attacked the arena simultaneously.
The blue equipments were finally revealed.
Lu Yuru, who had been waiting eagerly, saw these and thought—
No worse than the ’Chasing God Blade’!
No worse than the ’Hornet Bag’!
Worthy of Third-Rank, worthy of Blue Equipment!
Once they are taken out, success follows, and each easily secured an arena.
Martial arts can’t defeat exotic treasures!
Not counting the ’Hai Character’ arena Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi control with the ’Mirage Pearl’, now, including Ma Hongniang and Cai Ru’an, and previously Liu Xin’s successful attack using the ’Chasing God Blade’, there are already three arenas that changed hands due to exotic treasures.
Exotic treasures!
Show their power!
This doesn’t even count Ying Jifeng.
"This Third Prince, armed with a Fourth-Rank Purple Equipment ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’, could easily secure an arena if he wishes."
If it goes like this, the number of arenas occupied by exotic treasures might approach half.
Lu Yuru looked around and saw that apart from Zhuge Zhen’s half-broken ’Hornet Bag’, there were still several blue lights flashing on and off the arena, counting three below.
In other words, there are three blue equipments yet to show up, possibly indicating three arenas might soon change hands.
So—
"In the end, there might be as many as seven or eight arenas occupied by those who possess Third-Rank exotic treasures."
"Diligent study of martial arts!"
"Outstanding talent!"
"But in the end, they couldn’t match those who rely on exotic treasures, achieving ’One Step to Heaven’!"
Lu Yuru sighed.
Talking about exotic treasures!
Sighing over exotic treasures!
Hating exotic treasures!
Yet craving exotic treasures—
"Hate others have!"
"Hate myself don’t!"
...
Hai Character Arena.
Yan Chuan couldn’t spare any attention for the happenings in other arenas this time, being entangled, leaving him no strength and no idle moments to observe other arenas, let alone explain them.
With single-minded dedication, he avoids battle and delays.
"Wave Riding Micro Steps" is performed to the extreme, with each cycle of movement, inner strength circulates once, and his power improves again. Unknowingly, he broke through to the Postnatal Five Layer, opening the fifth meridian.
But the disparity in hard strength remains evident.
In such a confrontation.
Under such pressure.
Fortunately, there is the feedback from "Mutual Teaching and Learning" that offers Yan Chuan some solace, with various people’s reflections and insights on his "Wave Riding Micro Steps" being passed back to him.
Among them, some are competitors in the arena, each a Heaven’s Chosen Son full of spiritual energy, whose thoughts and insights are often brimming with spirituality, bringing significant rewards for Yan Chuan.
Additionally, there are Heavenly Masters, each with an innate foundation, high cultivation, high realms, and equally high accomplishments in martial arts, whose far-sighted perspectives and insights provide Yan Chuan with a substantial supplement.
Thus!
"Wave Riding Micro Steps" skill level continually grows, further refined on the Sixth Realm Refining Fire foundation, making continual small progress.
Bit by bit!
Invaluable!
"So slippery!"
Ying Jifeng was helpless.
Yan Chuan, with "Wave Riding Micro Steps" underfoot, has an enigmatic stepping technique and a cunning movement technique, confounding and never letting them catch even the hem of Yan Chuan’s garment.
Whether chasing behind.
Or locking positions from separate angles.
Ying Jifeng and others couldn’t catch Yan Chuan, unable to engage him and take the arena.
Around!
Around!
Around!
Yan Chuan focused solely on circling the arena, rendering Ying Jifeng’s "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg" completely unusable.
Chase up!
A kick!
Yan Chuan spins and moves, ending up on either side or behind.
Driving people insane!
No solution whatsoever!
