Chapter 482: Chapter 323: Yan Chuan? Yama! The more enlightened you are, the more help you get, Yama achieves Enlightenment! Break break break break! [Request for monthly ticket!]_2
After a few breaths, they would arrive at the Hai Character Arena.
Situ Fei, stationed at the Zi Character Arena, was the furthest from the Hai Character Arena, but her Qinggong was exceptional, arriving almost simultaneously with everyone else.
Twelve people converged from all directions——
Ban Xianfu, Luo Qi, Ying Jifeng, Peng Fannian!
Situ Fei, Lu Yuru, Wei Lingshan, Ding Xiang, Ying He, Shi Mingzhu, Shen Xia, Jing Bao!
Seven titled as Absolute!
The Twelve Talents!
These people didn’t need to strike; just by advancing together with such momentum, it was extremely intimidating, and anyone surrounded by this would immediately be scared out of their wits.
The arena area.
A few contestants who could still maintain their sanity saw this scene and were all excited: "Finally, someone to deal with him!"
Ban Xianfu and others shone brightly in this Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, showcasing their strength to the fullest, none of them were filling the ranks with mediocrity.
With these twelve making a move, Yan Chuan is bound to lose!
"Too arrogant!"
Cai Ru’an exerted all her Inner Strength, barely holding on amid Yan Chuan’s ghostly wails, on the verge of faltering, unaware of Shen Wu’s urgent task. Seeing Ban Xianfu and the others attacking Yan Chuan together, she assumed they too couldn’t stand Yan Chuan’s cries, or couldn’t bear to see the surrounding talents almost driven insane by his shouting.
In any case!
These people ’coincidentally’ made a move!
Cai Ru’an’s anxious heart finally eased a lot.
With these twelve advancing together, how could Yan Chuan possibly resist?
There was absolutely no surprise.
Cai Ru’an was certain in her heart.
However——
"Senior Sister Situ, apologies!"
Jing Bao, originally advancing side by side with Situ Fei, suddenly burst out with a shout before reaching the Hai Character Arena, striking Situ Fei with two fists, unexpectedly not attacking Yan Chuan but instead intercepting Situ Fei.
This abrupt change was too sudden.
It seemed like a signal.
Not only Jing Bao.
Almost simultaneously——
"Brother Ban, please stop!" Peng Fannian pointed unexpectedly, halting Ban Xianfu.
"Senior Brother Luo, apologies!" Lu Yuru smiled charmingly, blocking Luo Qi.
Not only Peng Fannian!
Not only Lu Yuru!
At the same moment——
Ding Xiang employed her movement technique, full of shadowy charm, directly confronting Wei Lingshan, laughing: "Yan Chuan is my half-teacher, I ask the Holy Daughter to grant me some leniency."
Good heavens!
Of the twelve, seven were titled as Absolute, yet four chose to defect on the spot, disregarding Shen Wu’s issued task, standing in front of their ’teammates’ and siding with Yan Chuan!
Ban Xianfu, Luo Qi, and Wei Lingshan were blocked, frowning together.
Wei Lingshan angrily said: "Have you lost your minds!?"
They had all taken on the task to interrupt Yan Chuan. If the task failed, they wouldn’t be able to challenge for seven days, wasting so much time and opportunities?
This situation!
This consequence!
Ding Xiang and others defected?
"Could it be that Yan Chuan’s ghostly cries can still charm people’s hearts?"
Cai Ru’an was also startled by this sudden change, almost thinking Ding Xiang and the others were enchanted by Yan Chuan, but she quickly realized——
"Peng Fannian and Jing Bao had both sought martial arts guidance from Yan Chuan!"
"Lu Yuru and Ding Xiang were personally taught by Yan Chuan, reaching the Absolute level because of it!"
"No wonder!"
"No wonder they defected!"
Cai Ru’an was dazed by Yan Chuan’s shouting, chilled by the Yin Wind, and reacted sluggishly. It was only then that she remembered, up to this point in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan had been continuously explaining, with little rest, pointing and nudging. Among the more than a thousand contestants, though he couldn’t be said to have disciples everywhere, many indeed progressed in strength through his guidance and explanations.
Especially Peng Fannian, Jing Bao, Lu Yuru, and Ding Xiang!
Four defects!
Reasonable!
Cai Ru’an clarified her thoughts.
When Situ Fei saw Ding Xiang defect, she also snapped awake: "Almost made a mistake!"
With a thought.
Situ Fei nimbly twisted around Jing Bao’s block and, as Jing Bao pursued, swung two water sleeves, forcefully blocking Ying Jifeng and Ying He, who were about to step onto the arena. She apologized: "Apologies, Your Highnesses!"
Meanwhile, she called out: "Junior Sister Shen!"
Stopping Shen Xia, closely following in the same team!
"Oh?"
Jing Bao, initially intercepting, pursued Situ Fei. Seeing this, she didn’t have time to ponder, quickly changing direction to catch the last slip—
Shi Mingzhu!
For a moment, in the arena, Shen Xia stood with furrowed brows, while the remaining eleven split into two groups of five against six, actually clashing below the Hai Character Arena!
...
"Haha!"
"With the way gaining support, without the way losing support!"
"Yan Chuan, having made numerous allies in the Sword Discussion, reaps the generous fruit, with blessings at last!"
Up on the clouds, Yang Wang witnessed this almost comedic scene and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
The Emperor Yan, high above, set the rules and held the ultimate explanation right of the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion but couldn’t handle Yan Chuan.
Of course, Yang Wang wanted to laugh.
Tian Jing rebuked: "Yang Wang! Stop being presumptuous!"
Jiang Bianliu also frowned: "Yan Chuan is still young and with low cultivation. It’s not good for Master Yang to overpraise him!"
Both heard that Yang Wang was intentionally provoking the Emperor Yan, hoping that the Emperor would become displeased with Yan Chuan. If the Emperor harbored resentment against one of the Twelve Talents and distanced Yan Chuan from the court, it would be even better.
Yang Wang was malicious!
Tian Jing and Jiang Bianliu were close friends with Yan Chuan and naturally did not want to see Yang Wang intentionally overpraise Yan Chuan in front of the Emperor again and again.
The two spoke up.
"Haha!"
Yang Wang laughed even louder, pointing at Tian Jing and then at Jiang Bianliu, bending over with laughter: "Emperor! Look, is Yan Chuan impressive? Not only do the talents from your academy willingly help him but don’t heed your commands. Even these two Innate Grandmasters support him, unwilling to see him suffer any grievance. Given time, the younger ones, the older ones, Yan Chuan’s prestige will be high. Maybe he will surpass old Emperor Yan and don the imperial robes——"
"Yang Wang!"
Jiang Bianliu’s face darkened, suddenly flicking his body, his left palm slicing towards Yang Wang’s face, starting with a big slap, but suddenly turning the palm into a finger, making a swishing sound, actually using the ’One Yang Finger Force’, swiftly pointing at Yang Wang.
This Elder Jiang had not studied "One Yang Finger" for long, but during the Sword Discussion, listening to Yan Chuan explain "One Yang Finger", and watching Yan Chuan display "One Yang Finger", under the promotion of "Mutual Teaching and Learning", and coupled with Elder Jiang’s own cultivation proficiency, he had long practiced "One Yang Finger" to the Fourth Grade, truly strong.
If this finger hit accurately, a hole would undoubtedly be punched into Yang Wang.
"Haha!"
"You old geezer, late life Innate, dare to act rashly?" Yang Wang sneered, surprisingly not dodging, counterpointing Jiang Bianliu with his fingers.
Yang Wang, known as the ’White-browed Eagle King’, cultivated the ’Eagle Claw Skill’, his Finger Power really not weak at all.
Only a swishing sound was heard!
The two finger forces collided in the air, and Jiang Bianliu stepped back, while Yang Wang’s body swayed. A flash of red appeared on Jiang Bianliu’s face, while Yang Wang’s face faintly showed a layer of green, all disappearing in an instant.
This clash, this late-life new Innate Jiang Bianliu, which was ranked second last on the "Heavenly List", was only slightly at a disadvantage!
"One Yang Finger!"
"So the "One Yang Finger" Yan Chuan practiced was taught by you!"
Yang Wang calmed his internal True Qi, secretly amazed. He didn’t expect that Jiang Bianliu, being both of old age and a new entry, without much decent heritage, only managed to break through relying on a mere fifth-grade boxing technique.
Old age!
New entry!
Fifth-grade boxing technique!
With Jiang Bianliu’s setup, placing him second last on the "Heavenly List" by the Traveler Department was really no problem at all. Yang Wang had no issue underestimating this old man either.
After all, on the surface, Jiang Bianliu’s strength was definitely at the bottom among Innates. In the ’Underground City’, his ’Heavenly Ladder Points’ would never exceed 1100!
Far inferior to Yang Wang!
But surprisingly!
Jiang Bianliu had also cultivated the "One Yang Finger". Moreover, judging by the style of that one finger just now, his proficiency seemed to be above Yan Chuan, only slightly inferior to Yang Wang’s, which was remarkable!
Yang Wang was shocked!
A group of Grandmasters was also shocked!
But only Jiang Bianliu himself knew that his proficiency in the "One Yang Finger" was far inferior to Yan Chuan’s. He had only just broken through to the Fourth Grade by listening to Yan Chuan’s explanations, and further, during the fifth and seventh rounds, Yan Chuan primarily explained Inner Strength, greatly enhancing his "Innate Skill" proficiency.
Such——
"Innate Skill" + "One Yang Finger"!
Also adding Jiang Bianliu’s own innate proficiency, profound Inner Strength!
Moreover, the element of surprise in this initial point of attack, pre-empting by building up force beforehand!
All these factors combined allowed him to appear evenly matched with Yang Wang on the surface. If truly pursued in combat, over a dozen moves, he feared he would falter and expose his weakness, being seen through!
But on this occasion——
It’s not possible to fight!
