Chapter 471: Chapter 318 Why! Why!! Why!!! [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]
"Dull Qi."
"Evil Qi."
"Alien Inner Strength."
"To me, there’s not much difference."
"Purple Mist Divine Skill" is adept at eliminating alien auras within the body. Now that I possess the "Innate Skill," which shares its lineage but is more mysterious, along with the assistance of the "Yijinjing" and the cooperation of the "One Yang Finger," refining mere Evil Qi is naturally no challenge."
Hai Character Arena, Yan Chuan sat down heavily, cultivating to refine—
"The martial skills of the world, with Qi Cultivation as the righteousness. Vast Righteous Qi, originally granted by the heavens, yet ordinary people are poor in nurturing it, rather overwhelming it by nature. The troubles of the martial artist lie in being violent, arrogant, cruel, and treacherous. Violence leads to a disturbed spirit and chaotic qi, arrogance causes the true to depart and qi to float, cruelty results in the loss of benevolence and qi, treachery leads to a vicious mind and hurried qi. These four matters are the sawing blades of Intercepting Qi. Abandon these four natures, return to gentleness and virtue, restrain your violence and cruelty, nurture your righteous qi, sound the heavenly drum, drink jade nectar, cleanse the Hua Pool, knock on the golden beam, follow through, and there will be small success."
"What is absorbed is the Vast Righteous Qi of heaven and earth entering from the outside. With solid roots, primordial qi is unscathed; between breaths, one can seize the Vast Righteous Qi of heaven and earth. Cultivate qi with qi, spread across the four greats, the clear circulates to nourish while the dull protects, all moving freely. When vertical, it passes through the meridians; when horizontal, it connects the collaterals, all thoroughly smooth."
...
Yan Chuan activated "Innate Skill," rapidly refining Evil Qi.
At first, it was slow.
As it progressed—
The "Purple Mist Divine Skill," "Yijinjing," and "One Yang Finger" were all mobilized, and the refining speed became increasingly fast.
Especially "Innate Skill" and "One Yang Finger," an absolute pair, the Evil Qi inside encountered it, like spring wind turning into rain, all dissolved, not only not harmful but also further promoting Yan Chuan’s cultivation, Qi-Blood, Inner Strength, Inner Power along with muscle and bone were all enhancing, driven by the Dantian Qi Sea, Yan Chuan rapidly progressed again, cultivation directly approaching the Sixth Layer, the Sixth Grade threshold.
Evil Qi rose together, all being refined.
Some have superlative Inner Strength, thick power, more capable of resisting Evil Qi invasion, unaffected in attacking the arena.
Some fear nothing, strong-minded, ignoring Evil Qi, bearing its erosion while still attacking the arena.
The twenty-ninth day of the Sword Discussion.
The first day of five to seven.
The second round of trials began suddenly without notice.
...
"Master Yan!"
"We meet again!"
Ma Hongniang leaps onto the arena, eyes bright and sharp, gazing at the five people sitting cross-legged on the stage—
Yan Chuan!
Wang Zhengyi!
Chen Ze!
Fu Yunzhan!
Wang Ge!
At this sight, a glance swept over, Ma Hongniang could not help but lament.
At the beginning of the Sword Discussion, this team’s apparently strongest combatant, Yan Chuan, was only ranked eighty-first on the "Hidden Dragon List."
But who would have thought, with the progress of the Sword Discussion, in just a short twenty-eight, nine days, a team, four transformations, magnificently turning into peak strong people—
Yan Chuan, movement technique!
Wang Zhengyi, Divine Power!
Chen Ze, Double-Handed Sword!
Fu Yunzhan, fast sword!
The four are extraordinary in their respective fields, only ranked Second Tier due to poor cultivation, counting only as peak forces.
"But they!"
"Are ultimately not at the peak!"
Ma Hongniang observed the four, feeling sympathetic for them.
At four to seven, the first round of trials, ’Forbidden Treasure, Absolute Surprise Weapon,’ abolished Yan Chuan’s ’Gravity Domain,’ Wang Zhengyi’s ’Peace Token,’ these two treasures that clearly could have advanced to the finals, and erased Chen Ze’s super strong power worthy of Absolute with ’Double-Handed Sword.’
That round, Yan Chuan’s team suffered a great loss in strength, team strength was weakened to an epic level, finally narrowly holding on thanks to Fu Yunzhan’s breakthrough at the last moment.
But who knew, this round’s rules and trials further targeted Yan Chuan’s team—
"This ’Evil Qi’ most tests one’s Inner Power Cultivation, Inner Strength, and Inner Power, the thicker the Qi-Blood, the more capable the resistance. The stronger the muscle and bone, the greater the endurance."
In this round, undoubtedly the Postnatal Peak and Peak of Limit-breaking have an advantage.
Yet Yan Chuan’s team—
Yan Chuan, Postnatal Fifth Layer, Limit-breaking Fifth Grade!
Wang Zhengyi, Postnatal Seventh Layer, Limit-breaking Seventh Grade!
Chen Ze, Postnatal Fourth Layer, Limit-breaking Fourth Grade!
Fu Yunzhan, Postnatal Ninth Layer, Limit-breaking Fourth Grade!
Wang Ge, negligible.
Yan Chuan’s team was already at a disadvantage in cultivation, now this disadvantage will be even more pronounced in this round.
With their cultivation, how can they match the numerous peak Heavenly Pride?
Evil Qi invasion!
Relying heavily on Inner Power Cultivation to resist, Yan Chuan and the others’ disadvantage is too great!
On the contrary, it’s Ma Hongniang, feeling her own body, a faintly golden white bone inside, frantically absorbing and refining boundless Evil Qi, with her strength not affected at all, rather under the influence of Evil Qi, this pale gold white bone is merging faster by tenfold, hundredfold than usual, originally just Postnatal ’Tenth Layer,’ ’Grade Eight Bone Training’ Ma Hongniang, her cultivation is rising rapidly, Inner Power, Bone Training, Muscle Training, Skin Training, and Muscle Training are quickly pushing towards the peak—
"In this round!"
"I am invincible!"
...
"Ma Hongniang."
Yan Chuan opened his eyes, seeing Ma Hongniang full of confidence.
He hesitated somewhat.
This person, though ranked eighty-first on the "Chufeng List," truly gained fame in this Cang Mountain Sword Discussion with the Third-Rank Treasure ’White Bone Banner.’
But ever since the start of the four to seven trials, with the Forbidden Treasure, Ma Hongniang faded into ordinary, with no longer a standout performance.
So much so, Yan Chuan hadn’t seen her in a long time, nearly forgetting her.
Who would’ve thought on the first day of five to seven, she’d be the first to attack the arena!
"Ma Fairy, this battle, I’ll take it!"
Wang Zhengyi already rested well the past two days, and even under Evil Qi erosion, still brimming with energy; when Ma Hongniang attacked, Wang Zhengyi promptly stood up—
Crackling!
With a stretch, the muscles and bones all rang together, like Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, indescribably awe-inspiring.
