Chapter 551: Chapter 356: 3 Months! [Seeking Monthly Votes!]_2
In these two cases, the effect of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" will be weakened to the greatest extent.
However, based on the large number of martial artists in the Heavenly Ladder City, even if the effect of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" is very poor, it cannot withstand the large number of viewers. With the increase in numbers, to a certain extent, quantity can make up for the lack of quality. After a match, the feedback Yan Chuan receives should not be lacking.
As for setting up a live broadcast room and doing the explanations himself.
At that time, martial artists entering the live room to listen to his explanations will pay more attention, and the effect of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" will be better. The difficulty lies in whether Yan Chuan can attract an audience and how many people are willing to listen to his explanations.
No matter how good the quality is, if the quantity is too small, it’s futile.
In conclusion.
Each has its pros and cons!
"Combining both, the effect shouldn’t be too bad."
"As long as I can go further in the ’King City Competition’, the longer I stay on stage, the better the performance of ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ will be, and my improvement can be greater!"
Now let’s see—
Whether it’s using "Mutual Teaching and Learning" for Yan Chuan to grow faster in the ’King City Competition’!
Or if the ’King City Competition’ is more intense, with stronger opponents at each stage.
But Yan Chuan has studied the ’King City Competition’ format—
"Ten-day Tournament!"
"Monthly Tournament!"
"Final!"
The ’Mo Yin Continent’s Royal City Competition’ lasts two months, with a total of six rounds of ten-day tournaments, each lasting ten days. The top eight teams successfully advancing from the ten-day tournaments will qualify for the ’Monthly Tournament’, followed by two monthly tournaments each determining the top four in their respective zones to qualify for the final. Sixteen teams from four major zones will compete in the final of Mo Yin Continent.
Yan Chuan has "Mutual Teaching and Learning", and most needs to make himself known. Therefore, in theory, he should sign up for every ten-day tournament but not advance in the first five, waiting until the last ten-day tournament to advance, thus competing throughout the two months.
Conversely, if he advances in the first ten-day tournament, there will only be the ’Monthly Tournament’ and ’Final’ for appearances, missing five opportunities in the ten-day tournaments.
But at the same time consider—
"If he doesn’t advance in the last ten-day tournament, the entire King City Competition is over for him."
Therefore, the safest strategy is to strive his hardest to advance, and as for "Mutual Teaching and Learning", it mostly relies on setting up the ’live broadcast room’.
To go further in the ’King City Competition’, Yan Chuan must give his all.
...
There are still five days before the ’King City Competition’ officially kicks off.
After reaching 700 points, Yan Chuan no longer participates in ranking matches, to avoid carelessly losing points and missing the qualification.
In the following days, he focuses his energy on martial arts lectures and teaching boxing.
Tan Valley Royal City, Eight Divisions New Army.
Among them, the 8,800 Yan Family Army soldiers have been divided into six battalions and trained properly, each with its own instructor teaching boxing and martial arts skills, which doesn’t require much concern from Yan Chuan.
Afterwards, Yan Chuan mainly trains those under Situ Fei’s leadership, but he spent much previous time in Red Moon City, then immersed himself in the Heavenly Ladder City rankings, leaving little time for teaching boxing and martial arts lectures. Mostly, he let the Hundred Flower Palace and Five Fists experts from the Yan Family Army go ahead to teach the basics to various divisions, dividing them into five battalions. Then, Yan Chuan would spend two days concentrating on each division for an hour or two per battalion to give a complete round of lectures.
With Yan Chuan’s current proficiency in all five fists reaching Eighth Realm Peak, combined with third-level "Mutual Teaching and Learning" enhancing listeners’ comprehension efficiency by 100%, the lectures on boxing by Yan Chuan were overwhelmingly effective. Even with only one or two hours of explanation, amidst everyone’s foundation, it was akin to enlightenment, leading to rapid progress.
First Realm: Beginner!
Second Realm: Basic Insight!
Third Realm: Entering the Hall!
From early July to mid-October, in a span of over three months, among the 30,000 new soldiers of the Eight Divisions, those who cultivated ’Xingyi Boxing’ and other five fists to the Third Realm numbered in the hundreds, nearing the thousand mark!
Over twenty even reached the Fourth Realm, achieving some degree of success in boxing, gaining notable strength.
Three months!
Small success!
This progress is already rapid.
But what’s even more incredible is—
...
"The eight divisions learning boxing, with gratifying progress!"
"Among the new soldiers, Wang Quan, who practices ’Xingyi Boxing’, and Duan Changling, who practices ’Tongbei Fist’, are the most outstanding. In just over three months, they’ve mastered ’Xingyi Boxing’ and ’Tongbei Fist’ with brilliant integration!"
In the commander tent, Luo Yi, the head coach of the Eight Divisions New Army, reported the progress of boxing training to Yan Chuan.
Wang Quan!
Duan Changling!
Out of the 30,000 new soldiers of the Tan Valley Royal City’s Eight Divisions practicing boxing, these two progressed the fastest, reaching the Fifth Realm in just three short months.
Unbelievable.
Clearly, just like Wang Zhengyi with "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill", Fu Yunzhan with "Evil Exorcism Sword Skill", Wang Ge with "Seven Injuries Fist", these two have a special affinity with ’Xingyi Boxing’ and ’Tongbei Fist’, making their cultivation half the effort, combined with Yan Chuan’s guidance, they picked up extremely fast and made rapid progress.
"Wang Quan is steady and capable. Coming from a farming family with three generations, he joined the military after his parents’ deaths to seek a future, being somewhat opportunistic, but not bad-natured."
"Duan Changling is reckless, having offended local nobles resulting in his parents’ tragic deaths, and enlisted out of spite. He harbors intense resentment, being notoriously hard to manage in the army, particularly after achieving success in ’Tongbei Fist’, he often defies orders and clashes with boxing instructors."
After Wang Quan and Duan Changling stood out, Luo Yi specially investigated. Wang Quan is reassuring, but Duan Changling is a headache, though both are undoubtedly talented and geniuses.
"Wang Quan is stable, keep him in the army."
"Duan Changling is reckless, so transfer him out. Group him with other unruly soldiers into a team and send them to explore and station at locations like ’Heavenly King Ridge’, ’Tiger Hunting Land’, ’Fish and Dragon Marsh’, ’Golden Carp Lake’, ’Golden Flower Gu Mountain’."
Just like the dangerous places such as ’Nanyue Lake’ and ’Fengbo Ridge’ outside Nanxiong City under Hunxi Royal City, surrounding Tan Valley Royal City are dangerous places—
’Heavenly King Ridge’, ’Tiger Hunting Land’, ’Fish and Dragon Marsh’, ’Golden Carp Lake’, ’Golden Flower Gu Mountain’!
Each with its own danger!
Both Postnatal and Limit-breaking individuals must be intensely cautious.
These five places are major threats and need strict prevention.
Given that hotheads like Duan Changling are hard to manage, simply let them temper their spirits at these five dangerous places.
Yan Chuan, with his "Mutual Teaching and Learning", has the least regard for so-called ’individualistic’ geniuses. He doesn’t lack talent.
Arrogance!
Defiance!
All are unwanted!
Yan Chuan doesn’t care.
Instead, he prefers to spend time and energy cultivating those with good character, even if their aptitude is inferior.
For example—
"The recent development trend of the Hundred Flower Palace is excellent."
"In the Xingyi Sect, Hao Meng achieved enlightenment on ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ after the Palace Master’s last boxing lecture, breaking through overnight to Limit-breaking."
"In the Eight Diagram Sect, Duan Hong diligently understood ’Dragon Roar Skill’, successfully breaking through to Limit-breaking simultaneously."
Speaking of the Hundred Flower Palace, Luo Yi smiled even more broadly and said to Yan Chuan, "Interestingly, Hao Meng and Duan Hong are a couple. They were former disciples of Taikang Academy, inspired by the Palace Master after the Jian Province Competition, hence dropped out and joined the Hundred Flower Palace. It was a bold decision as many back then thought they were impulsive, but now, this couple has reached Limit-breaking!"
Luo Yi said this with a hint of pride!
The Hundred Flower Palace!
Although this is Yan Chuan’s newly established sect, at that time in Jian Province, while its name was not insignificant, its future was uncertain. For ordinary people, the ’Martial Arts Academy’ established and supported by the court was considered more promising, with a clearer future.
Many fought their way to get in.
Upon entering, upon learning about the existence of the ’Star Gate’, they became loyal, with few leaving.
Even Zhong Hui, Yu Renjie, and Dai Pu, whom Yan Chuan initially lured from Guangling Academy, only transferred to Taikang Academy rather than resigning from the Martial Arts Academy altogether.
Hao Meng and Duan Hong dropped out and joined the Hundred Flower Palace without any backup plan, which was very risky.
But the outcome proved they made the right choice!
"The couple still admires the Palace Master tremendously and is outside the tent currently. Would the Palace Master like to meet them?" Luo Yi pointed outside the tent and asked Yan Chuan.
In the past, last year, in Jian Province, two newly achieved Limit-breaking individuals, especially in their early twenties, would be prestigious and honored.
But now, this year, in Tan Valley Royal City, even newly ascended Innates in their twenties can be seen; mere newly achieved Limit-breaking individuals aren’t much.
However, since he had spare time, and as Luo Yi brought them, Yan Chuan was glad to meet them, smiling and nodding, "Let them in."
