Chapter 490: Chapter 327: The Final Day, Chen Ze Proving Dao! [Vote for monthly tickets!]_2
The hidden surprise weapon saved until now, won’t be hidden anymore, won’t be spared. A valuable surprise weapon is used as a disposable weapon, just to capture an arena, just to sustain a battle on the arena.
Slaughter!
Brutality!
Only the Hai Character Arena, only the Yan Chuan Team, are free from disputes. Whenever a "two lists" strong contender assaults the arena, they are almost always attracted by the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele], forgetting to attack the arena and focusing on comprehending [Misty Rain Map].
He remains quiet.
Yan Chuan glances at the other eleven arenas, seeing familiar faces, and each person’s absolute skills, backgrounds, and even their character traits flash in his mind.
days of Cang Mountain Sword Discussion!
Yan Chuan has seen too many martial arts, witnessed too many heavenly prides, and on this last day, looking back, it feels like the day before yesterday.
He sees Luo Qi’s big feet radiating faint light, sneakily displaying the Grinding Plate in the central hall, Grapple Eye-punching Waist-cutting Sword, the "Jade Ring Twelve Demon-Slaying Swords," mighty and unparalleled.
He sees Tan Dou rising with the Heavenly Gang Sword, winning with speed, prioritizing speed, excelling at using speed to overcome slowness, slow to overcome delay. The sword strikes so stealthily, the sword emerges like lightning and returns like burning, the "Heavenly Gang Swordsmanship" is fearsomely formidable.
He sees Wei Lingshan consecutively using three killer moves of the "Natural Skill": ’Soul Chasing Life Stealing Kick,’ ’Double Complete Hand,’ and ’Iron Leopard Protection Skill,’ attacking swiftly, changing unpredictably, and defending invincibly.
He sees Ying Jifeng demonstrating the "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg" —
Float, limp, trip, scoop!
Circle, smear, stomp, poke!
Lifting, pointing, shaking, kicking!
Delivering the leg with rapidity, leading the lower leg with the thigh, concentrating power in the foot, suddenly launching swift strikes, extending and bending rapidly, bouncing like marbles!
"Great leg technique!"
Yan Chuan praises enthusiastically!
At some point, Ying Jifeng managed to reach the state of refining fire with the "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg," advancing one step further at the end of the path, finally in the last day of the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, reaching the absolute level.
Looking at others—
Ban Xianfu, Peng Fannian, Situ Fei, Lu Yuru, Ding Xiang, Jing Bao...
More or less, their strength has all improved.
"This is—"
Yan Chuan realizes.
If as expected, this should be the gains from each of them comprehending the [Misty Rain Stele] and [Misty Rain Map].
Unknowingly, their martial arts skills have improved.
Some people even made significant breakthroughs.
Peng Fannian guards the arena, calm and composed, a Judge’s Pen piercing, pointing, stabbing, poking, his footwork flows smoothly, easily fending off the siege of five attacking teams, standing unyielding alone, his "Daoist Taiyi Xuanmen left and right hand point poke thrust press grip push spin squeeze alternating attacking enemy’s meridians types skills" have undoubtedly increased significantly again on the foundation of newly entering the Sixth Realm, becoming more exquisite, more refined.
Jing Bao performs fists, with flow as the core, closure as support, determining power with momentum, pushing force with flying, turning closure into attack, catching off guard, going with the flow, going with the momentum, going with nature, her "Shunshi Sect" has clearly become a system of its own, furthering her position at the absolute level, her strength rises again and again.
Peng Fannian.
Jing Bao.
Ding Xiang.
Situ Fei.
Each has been improving, each have made advancements.
Even though currently influenced by both ’Demon Barrier’ and ’Evil Qi’, and even though the conditions of these people have somewhat declined, Yan Chuan knows them too well, comparing before and after, he can easily see the comparison of their strength on the last day of the Sword Discussion with the early stages, he can see their progress, where their progress is, and on which days the progress was the most rapid.
A glance across the eleven arenas.
Each a heavenly pride!
Each an absolute skill!
A matchless fight throughout the Sword Discussion!
Countless information, countless images flash in the mind, unspeakably inexplicable perceptions circulate in the heart.
Yan Chuan continues to watch, the scene continues to emerge.
In such a mysterious state, Yan Chuan finds himself in many perceptions, many feelings, unwittingly, he is lecturing martial arts again—
"Peng Fannian—"
"Jing Bao—"
From each one’s absolute skills to hundred schools martial arts!
From combat style to training method!
From fist and feet to movement technique!
From external skill to inner strength!
During the Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan lectured incessantly, saw too much, perceived too much, at this last day, he is also organizing, using the martial arts lecture, using "Mutual Teaching and Learning", Yan Chuan aims to integrate these forty-nine days of gains, refine, purify, and integrate into several of his main absolute skills—
Such as "Wave Riding Micro Steps"!
Such as "One Yang Finger"!
Such as "Dugu Nine Swords"!
Such as "Lion Roar"!
Integrating these absolute skills, for a more systematic organization.
And there are inner strengths—
"Yijinjing"!
"Innate Skill"!
Also expanding, retrieving, pushing to depths, widening, deeply pushing through, to enhance his comprehension and understanding of "Yijinjing" and "Innate Skill".
Absolute skills!
Divine skill!
Side by side progress of combat power and cultivation!
"Pop~"
In a trance, Yan Chuan seems to hear the sound of a bottle cork being opened, he becomes delighted, this is not the mundane sound of ’uncorking a bottle’, this is clearly the celestial sound of ’breaking the bottleneck’, ’enlightenment breakthrough’.
"Did I comprehend?"
"Am I breaking through?"
Yan Chuan is overjoyed.
But this joy carries confusion, regardless of how mysterious it seemed before, to put it simply, he was merely organizing and summarizing. During and after this process, his martial arts accomplishment could indeed improve somewhat, but ’breakthrough’, ’enlightenment’, that seems exaggerated, it’s not quite that attainable.
In puzzlement.
Yan Chuan withdraws his gaze from the other eleven arenas and looks at his own Hai Character Arena, seeing, to everyone’s attention, the focus is not on him, but—
...
"Junior Brother!"
Yan Chuan returns to his senses, the unintermittent ’rustling’ sound is actually coming from Chen Ze, seeing him enveloped by misty rain, with wisps of white smoke rising above his head.
Only then does Yan Chuan realize—
"Turns out the one about to enlighten and breakthrough, is not me, but Junior Brother!"
Yan Chuan is pleasantly surprised.
He had placed ’experiences’ on Chen Ze, actually thinking more of ’the thief not leaving empty-handed’, never expecting Chen Ze to truly gain some real insight from the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele].
It was purely buying a notion with experiences.
Yet he didn’t expect, this excellent junior brother would indeed fulfill expectations, actually comprehending something genuine on the last day of the Sword Discussion.
See now!
At this moment!
Chen Ze’s breakthrough movement is astonishing, seeing this movement, afraid it’s not—
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Yan Chuan’s heart beats rapidly, seeing the white smoke over Chen Ze’s head, he unconsciously recalls when Tian Jing broke through, with ’qi-blood smoke reaching the sky and through the earth’!
Sky-reaching and Earth-penetrating!
Heaven and Earth Two Bridges!
Just as the ’qi-blood smoke’ is not simply profound qi-blood, ordinary people, even if they have abundant qi-blood, are by no means able to break through the body and reach externally; the qi-blood cannot be released outside the body naturally would not form the smoke phenomenon.
Only when ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’ in certain practice reaches perfection and is fully tempered, then the human body is somewhat integrally united, the qi-blood can penetrate out!
Qi-blood smoke!
Both an anomaly, and it represents a realm!
"Once one steps into the ’qi-blood smoke’ realm, it signifies that ’Muscle Training’ or ’Bone Training’ or ’Muscle Training’ or ’Skin Training’ must be perfect in one area."
"After that, on this foundation, the qi-blood flows freely, internally and externally communicating, this is commonly referred to as the ’Innate’ realm."
Extreme power training!
Limit-breaking Tempering!
Innate Qi Cultivation!
This is one path, for example, Tian Jing, for example, Jiang Bianliu, they all ascended from ’limit-breaking’, from ’Body Refining’.
But there is another path, that is, when inner strength reaches postnatal peak, the Twelve Main Meridians all get through, and a Dantian Qi Sea is opened up, then expand the Dantian Qi Sea, reinforce it, reaching no further possibility, to break through limitations in one swoop, penetrating Heaven and Earth Two Bridges; inner power can surge out of Dantian Qi Sea, through the Twelve Main Meridians, extruding over the head, merging with heaven and earth!
This equates to the ’Qi-blood Smoke’ realm in Body Refining, ’Qingyun Ganlu’.
Qingyun floating!
Ganlu descending!
Heaven and Earth communicating!
Innate achieved!
Did Chen Ze prove the Dao?!
