Chapter 392: Chapter 278: 2nd Tier Green Equipment ‘Avici Blade’! 3rd Tier Blue Equipment ‘Chasing God Blade’!! 5th Tier Orange Equipment——_2
Too weak!
We haven’t even figured out Yan Chuan’s details yet.
Not just Wei Lingshan.
Many skilled contenders and strong teams also expect Dai Xiangfeng and Hu Fenglan to gauge Yan Chuan’s strength, and at the very least, exhaust Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi’s energy, so they can take advantage in the following rounds.
When Wang Zhengyi activated the Mirage Pearl, everyone thought he was trying to buy time to last the full two hours.
But in the end—
"Won?"
"How did they win?"
"Could it be that the ’Mirage Pearl’ has other powers?"
"Or perhaps, within the mist, did Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi use other means?"
Everyone was surprised and curious.
Xiao Zhi rushed to the slowly awakening Hu Fenglan and quickly asked, "Senior Sister Hu, what just happened?"
All academies are one.
Although Xiao Zhi and Hu Fenglan were not from the same Martial Arts Academy and didn’t know each other before, addressing her as Senior Sister according to their age isn’t wrong, bringing them closer.
Hu Fenglan’s injuries looked serious but in reality, Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi knew their limits and hadn’t struck fatally. Hearing Xiao Zhi’s question, she could only smile bitterly, "I don’t know."
She was indeed too confused.
Even though she thought it would favor Wang Zhengyi and Yan Chuan within the mist, she felt she could handle it even with her eyes closed.
But she was caught in the mist, her shoulder suddenly struck by a heavy object, causing her to fall to the ground, and before she could stand, a palm wind came down, collapsing her Protective Gang Qi, and she was captured on the spot.
Hu Fenglan recalled, still in a fog.
Dai Xiangfeng had the same experience: "One hit, one fall, one slap, one toss, and I was out!"
He didn’t get a chance to showcase any of his martial arts skills.
Stifled!
Truly stifled!
"What?"
Xiao Zhi felt stifled just hearing it.
They lost without even knowing how, what kind of situation was this?
Yan Chuan!
Wang Zhengyi!
Are they really so bizarre?
Xiao Zhi turned her head to look at the ’Hai Character’ arena, and saw the mist gradually dispersing, revealing Yan Chuan and four others in the center.
Wang Zhengyi held the Mirage Pearl in hand.
As for Yan Chuan, he picked up the ’White Horn Trumpet’, his gaze sweeping across, this time locking onto the ’Chou Character’ arena—
"Barefoot Immortal!"
"Luo Qi!"
...
"Luo Qi cultivates a strange skill, his big feet step across the land, and besides Qinggong, he’s best known for the ’Jade Ring Twelve Demon-Slaying Swords’!"
"Though this skill is named ’Sword’, it’s actually a fist and feet skill, its foundation being the ’Jade Ring Step’ Luo Qi is currently performing."
"The ’Jade Ring’ in ’Jade Ring Step’ refers to a stepping technique resembling a small climbing stance, with the bent front leg and groin forming an arc similar to a ring, hence named Jade Ring after the ring-shaped jade ornament."
"When used in stepping techniques, it’s called ’Jade Ring Step’, when used in hand techniques, it’s called the Grinding Plate Strike or Grinding Plate Hand, and sometimes in certain hand technique situations, it’s called ’Waist Cutting Sword’."
"The ’Jade Ring Twelve Demon-Slaying Swords’ evolved from the ’Jade Ring Step’ and ’Waist Cutting Sword’, constantly enriched, finally forming a profound martial art, integrating fists, eyes, movement techniques, and steps, a pinnacle achievement of fist and feet skills."
"Sneakily display Grinding Plate Strike Middle Hall!"
"Grapple Eye-Punching Waist-Cutting Sword!"
"The ’Waist Cutting Sword’ gets its name from using the right palm heel to strike the enemy’s waist when employing this move. Both ’Jade Ring Step’ and ’Waist Cutting Sword’ were originally called ’Grinding Plate’. A grinding plate is a main component of a stone mill, with a stationary bottom piece and a rotating top piece during milling. When employing ’Jade Ring Step’ and ’Waist Cutting Sword’, the lower body uses a bow leg to hook the enemy’s leg, and the upper body twists left with hand movements."
"Now look at Luo Qi."
"’Jade Ring Step’ is mastered with ease, ’Waist Cutting Sword’ deftly employed, without using his bare feet, just with his hands, he can slay all the world’s demons!"
"Luo Qi!"
"Truly powerful!"
...
Each round, Yan Chuan would choose to explain either a showdown between powerful opponents, like Ding Xiang and Ban Xianfu, or interest-aligned matchups, like the Zhou Family Sisters challenging Peng Fannian, or biased ones, like Yashan Three Monsters fighting Wei Lingshan.
This time it was the first situation.
On the ’Chou Character’ arena, the challenger was the 15th ’Ghost Shadow’ Guo Xi from ’Chufeng’, though a woman, she trained the bold and vigorous ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’, her spear resembling numerous ghostly shadows, hence called ’Ghost Shadow’.
Guo Xi fighting Luo Qi fiercely!
One is 15th in ’Chufeng’!
One is 4th in ’Hidden Dragon’!
Their ranking differs by over ten places, but currently, no obvious strength gap is visible.
Of course, this also relates to Luo Qi being unarmed, or rather, he hasn’t used his bare feet yet.
But even so, both are formidable.
Since they are equally matched, Yan Chuan doesn’t need to ’side’ with anyone.
He can freely explain Luo Qi’s ’Jade Ring Twelve Demon-Slaying Swords’ or Guo Xi’s ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’.
Speaking passionately.
Speaking immersed.
Even Yan Chuan’s own boxing, spear techniques, and so on were rapidly improving.
With various martial arts being developed—
[Task One: Washing Marrow Scripture (Ji★)]
[Task Two: Nine Yang Scripture (Geng★★★★★)]
[Task Three: Six Meridian Divine Sword (Geng★★★★★)]
[Task Four: Dragon Elephant Wisdom (Geng★★★★★)]
[Task Five: Kuihua Manual (Geng★★★★★)]
[Task Six: Divine Light Scripture (Geng★★★★★)]
...
Inspiration growing in various ways.
Heavenly Masters watching from above.
Brilliant talents listening on the stage and below.
"Mutual Teaching and Learning"!
Countless thoughts, infinite insights feeding back, Yan Chuan gained immensely.
The myriad classics he read in Jian Province, what he saw and heard on his journey from Jian Province to Cang Mountain, including the martial arts secret manuals he rifled through in Tian Jing Mansion practiced by the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion contestants, or various descriptions, these accumulations, these learnings, now became the nourishment for Yan Chuan’s growth, coupled with the vast feedback from "Mutual Teaching and Learning", constantly elevating Yan Chuan’s martial arts accomplishment to another level, and another level!
Yan Chuan engulfed.
Enjoying it all.
Not far away.
On the ’Shen Character’ arena, the 3rd ’Three Heavenly Swords’ Lu Yuru from ’Chufeng’ stood with arms crossed, having teammates handle the incoming challengers, no need for her to act.
She occasionally looked towards Yan Chuan, her eyes faintly glowing with a strange light.
If someone could share vision with Lu Yuru, they would see a world full of colorful splendor in her eyes.
Flashes of white light.
A mix of green light.
Occasionally blue light appeared.
Rarely, a few purple lights glittered.
But the brightest of all was the orange glow in the sky.
"Orange light!"
"Orange equipment!"
"Fifth-Rank Odd Weapon!"
"Could it be the Yan Emperor’s Treasure?"
Lu Yuru felt her throat dry.
This was her first time being in the same place with so many treasures, alas, each treasure was unattainable for her.
Not to mention Fifth-Rank Orange Equipment, even Fourth-Rank Purple Equipment wasn’t available to her.
She dared not look too much to the heavens, where heavenly masters gathered, purple and blue equipment were plenty but beyond her reach, similarly, those masters wouldn’t use their treasures against her, completely unrelated.
But the numerous competitors below were different, all possible opponents to be thoroughly understood.
Lu Yuru glanced—
On the ’Chen Character’ arena, the newly successful challenger Liu Xin radiated blue light, no surprise, the ’Chasing God Blade’ she wielded was a Third-Rank Blue Equipment.
The currently revealed ’Third-Rank Blue Equipment’ was only Liu Xin’s ’Chasing God Blade’.
As for Ban Xianfu’s ’Avici Blade’, though it looked intimidating, it merely shone green, merely Second-Rank Green Equipment.
"Second-Rank Green Equipment, standard for Heavenly Prides."
"Third-Rank Blue Equipment, a marvel."
Judging from ’Chasing God Blade’ and ’Avici Blade’s performance, one could roughly tell the standards and power levels of Third-Rank Blue Equipment and Second-Rank Green Equipment.
Yet blue light appeared around, clearly, there were other Third-Rank Blue Equipment hidden, not yet revealed.
Lu Yuru envied.
She didn’t even have a blue equipment at her side.
But elsewhere, even with blue equipment, even with blue lights, they were generally dispersed across different individuals.
But the ’Hai Character’ arena was different—
...
