Chapter 514: Chapter 338: Lu Yuru’s Excitement! Unique "Wisdom Eye"! While Others Are Drunk, I Alone Am Sober!
Training Ground.
Commander’s Platform.
Yan Chuan knew that Wei Lingshan and others had arrived. Being a "crowd-driven performer," he became even more enthusiastic in his teaching when these people came—
"The ’Liangyi Posture’ will be covered here."
"Next, we’ll discuss the ’Four Symbols Stance,’ the third of the Ten Major Stances within the ’Three Body Formation.’"
"This stance emphasizes ’head center descending to the dantian, palms inward returning to the dantian, soles upward returning to the dantian, the three centers merging into the dantian.’
"At this point, one must consciously avoid common mistakes within ’Xingyi Boxing,’ ’Three Body Formation,’ and the ’Ten Major Stances.’ I have summarized them as the ’Ten Illnesses’—"
"Tilting the head and shrinking the neck, the posture is not correct; leaning forward or backward, the entire body becomes ill, this is the first."
"Opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue, eyes lack spirit, the Ren and Du meridians are not open, vision is unclear, this is the second."
"Leaning left and right, hunchback and arched waist, unstable center of gravity, inflexible stepping technique, this is the third."
"Chest out and abdomen protruding, straining clumsy force, Qi is difficult to sink, mind and body suffer damage, this is the fourth."
...
Yan Chuan has been teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’ for ten days, starting with the ’Three Body Formation’ and moving from the ’Basic Posture,’ ’Liangyi Posture,’ to today’s ’Four Symbols Stance.’ The ’Ten Major Stances’ have already reached the third stance.
In a short ten days, beginners naturally find it very difficult to quickly grasp three stances, even with step-by-step progression.
But Yan Chuan, relying on "Mutual Teaching and Learning," is fearless, advancing at a rapid pace. Outsiders only think Yan Chuan is hastily imparting ’Xingyi Boxing,’ such as Wei Lingshan—
"Teaching the ’Four Symbols Stance’ so quickly? This half-hearted approach is better not taught at all!"
Wei Lingshan had also researched Yan Chuan’s self-created and widely spread ’Xingyi Boxing,’ gaining understanding of its ’Three Body Formation,’ ’Five Elements Boxing,’ and ’Twelve Forms.’
Based on her understanding of this boxing art and considering the actual level of the 8,800 soldiers under Yan Chuan, ninety-nine percent of them dreaming of mastering a ’Basic Posture’ within ten days is a fantasy.
Ten days to progress from ’Basic Posture’ to ’Liangyi Posture,’ and then to ’Four Symbols Stance,’ is sheer madness.
"Even for someone like me, during my early martial training, at the level of a recruit, I could at most achieve this," Wei Lingshan compared herself, saying that even for an unparalleled talent like herself, if she started practicing ’Xingyi Boxing,’ it would take at least ten days to master these three stances.
None of Yan Chuan’s soldiers exceeded the limit, the strongest barely reaching the limit of Qi-Blood. Given their cultivation, talent, and martial arts accomplishment—
"Three stances in ten days?"
"Dreaming!"
Wei Lingshan wouldn’t believe it even if it killed her.
Others didn’t think too much, but they also felt Yan Chuan’s method of teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’ to the soldiers was overly optimistic.
Only Yan Chuan—
"Three stances in ten days!"
"Ten stances in a month!"
"Ordinary people take at least three years to master all ’Ten Major Stances,’ but with the aid of ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ if there are hidden talents among my 8,000-plus soldiers, with an efficiency boost of 100% in understanding, mastering the ’Ten Major Stances’ in a month is not impossible!"
Yan Chuan taught ’Xingyi Boxing’ in the army, first to improve himself through "Mutual Teaching and Learning," second to enhance the overall combat power of his subordinates, and third, to screen for hidden boxing geniuses in the military.
Mutual Teaching and Learning!
This is a sharp weapon!
...
"’Hidden Dragon’ sixth, ’Yama’ Yan Chuan!" once Yan Chuan finished teaching, many came forward, Peng Fannian clasped his fists and congratulated Yan Chuan: "Congratulations, Brother Yan, on achieving sixth!"
"Brother Peng, you’re flattering me."
"Before you, the third ’Judge’s Pen’ of the ’Hidden Dragon,’ I am insignificant."
Yan Chuan waved his hand.
At the beginning of the month, the ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Young Phoenix’ lists were rearranged. Wu Yibai remained first on the ’Hidden Dragon,’ the newly advanced ’Double-Handed Sword’ Chen Ze ranked second on the ’Hidden Dragon,’ third was ’Judge’s Pen’ Peng Fannian, fourth ’Avici Blade’ Ban Xianfu, fifth ’Vajra Leg’ Ying Jifeng, and sixth was Yan Chuan, with the title ’Yama,’ just behind two innate and three titled Absolute masters, advancing significantly beyond Wang Zhengyi, Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, Tan Dou, and others.
The Traveler Department gave Yan Chuan a lot of recognition.
Especially with the title—
"I am the Judge, you are Yan Jun."
"I am the Military Leader, you are the City Lord."
"I am always one step beneath Brother Yan everywhere!"
Peng Fannian laughed heartily.
Though joking, he was actually happy. Being ranked behind two innates and first among the titled Absolute masters on the ’Hidden Dragon List’ undoubtedly acknowledged his strength.
Martial Artists train diligently.
Achievements may vary; being recognized and acknowledged is most satisfying.
Peng Fannian was pleased.
Everyone present felt quite good; with the ’two lists’ rearranged, as part of the group who performed best in the Sword Discussion, their rankings saw improvements or slight adjustments but remained at the forefront.
Everyone was happy.
However, among all the heavenly prides present, whether it was Peng Fannian, the third of the ’Hidden Dragon,’ or Situ Fei, the first of the ’Young Phoenix’ with the Three Absolute Skills, none made it onto the first issue of the ’Earthly List’ published at the beginning of the month—
"Don’t flatter yourselves!"
"A third, a sixth, just standing out among the juniors. The ’Earthly List’ has a hundred and eight spots, who among them isn’t stronger than you?"
Wei Lingshan pursed her lips, showing disdain for their pretenses.
This time, she was ranked second on the ’Young Phoenix,’ climbing the ranks, only just below the first place consecutive champion Situ Fei, her prowess exceptionally strong.
However, after the Sword Discussion, Wei Lingshan’s focus was beyond the younger generation. With the release of the ’Earthly List,’ her ambition is first to make it onto the ’Earthly List,’ then to prove the Dao and attain innate status, smoothly achieving these goals, striving to break through to innate within two years at most.
"’Earthly List’—"
Yan Chuan and Peng Fannian exchanged glances, both sighed with a bitter smile.
Talents emerge with each generation!
Each leads their era for several hundred years!
Despite their intense battles in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, the fame of ’Yama’ Yan Chuan, ’Judge’s Pen’ Peng Fannian resonating across the Fifteen States of Great Yan, they are unmatched for a time.
