Chapter 503: Chapter 332 "Mutual Teaching and Learning": Heavenly Ladder Battle! 1000-Person Battle! [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]_2
Yan Chuan’s sword showed no mercy, the sword light flashed, followed by a splash of blood——
Lady Shexiang!
A head fell to the ground!
...
[Your ’Dugu Nine Swords’ has improved, skill level +2]
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has improved, skill level +1]
...
Yan Chuan killed another formidable enemy, feeling infinite exhilaration in his heart. Seeing the progress of "Mutual Teaching and Learning," he immediately realized: "Someone is watching!"
This thought arose.
Suddenly——
"Good sword!"
A sudden shout was heard.
Xu Yang witnessed Lady Shexiang’s head fall, cut by Yan Chuan. Just as he was about to step forward for a personal duel, a black shadow leaped like an eagle. While in midair, the black robe fluttered like the wings of a black shadow, swish swish swish, causing immense pressure while continuing to gather force, getting faster and stronger.
Like a Black Eagle, swooping low, it charged straight at Yan Chuan, with five fingers forming a claw aimed at his face.
"Eagle Claw!"
"Black Eagle!"
Yan Chuan’s body swayed sideways, easily dodging this sneak attack. Without needing to check a panel, he could guess the person’s identity; it must be ’Black Eagle,’ ranked high on the [Kill Leaderboard].
Upon a closer look.
It was indeed him——
[Code: Black Eagle]
[Heavenly Ladder: 76]
[Matches: 1]
...
From his ’match count’ and ’heavenly ladder points,’ it could be discerned that his performance in the one and only ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’ match was surely superior to Yan Chuan’s previous encounter with Yang Wan. Perhaps he killed more, or perhaps he survived longer. In any case, his ’heavenly ladder points’ from that match were six points higher than Yang Wan’s.
"Eager to see how much gold content these six points truly hold!"
Yan Chuan was invigorated.
It’s just a pity that the previous ’Lady Shexiang,’ like Yan Chuan, was a first-time participant in the ladder match. The woman was clearly superior to Yang Wan, whose only previous match score was ’70.’ I don’t know how much Lady Shexiang scored, but if she scored as well, Yan Chuan would have more comparisons to draw.
Unfortunately.
But no matter, this ’Black Eagle’ will do.
Boom!
The eagle dives for prey!
First move is Eagle Claw!
First encounter is a killing move!
Bam bam bam!
Yan Chuan retreated step after step, while Black Eagle continued to pursue relentlessly. His left and right hands both executed Eagle Claws, tearing through air and piercing walls. This was clearly a cultivation technique honed both internally and externally, mysterious beyond measure, of unmatched power, and finger strength capable of shattering stones and piercing gold. It was truly a high-level ’Eagle Claw Skill,’ not something common.
Looking at this person’s physique and muscles, he must have practiced ’Golden Bell Shield’ and ’Iron Cloth Shirt,’ and his flexible movement technique, along with his bizarre claw skill made him a tyrant when close by!
"Nourish qi with divinity, transform qi into strength, command qi with intention."
"This is somewhat similar to the ’Divine Power Eagle Claw Skill’ I’ve seen before."
"Fingers clutching, power in Yang, this is the first layer."
"Transform rigidity into softness, Yin generation through Yang, this is another layer."
"Hands pulling sun and moon, accomplishment in Yin Rou, this is the highest level of ’Divine Power Eagle Claw Skill,’ and this person has already mastered it perfectly!"
Yan Chuan talked endlessly, as if speaking to himself.
Upon realizing someone was spectating and "Mutual Teaching and Learning" could still be triggered normally in a ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’ match, Yan Chuan’s old habit couldn’t be contained.
He began to give a martial arts lecture!
Divine Power Eagle Claw Skill!
This was a martial art exhibited by a genius named ’Zhao Ji’ from Bright Sun Academy during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, who did not practice it well, only reaching the first layer ’Fingers clutching, power in Yang,’ without mastering the second layer ’Transform rigidity into softness, Yin generation through Yang,’ let alone the third layer ’Hands pulling sun and moon, accomplishment in Yin Rou.’
But the person before him could transform soft and hard, unpredictable and mysterious. Even though not at the level of being called absolute, he was comparable to the peak figures in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, such as Lu Yuru before his breakthrough, or Tan Dou, or Luo Qi.
This person is not weak!
But neither is Yan Chuan weak!
Having experienced the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan was no longer inexperienced. On the sixth and seventh of the first day, Yan Chuan bellowed ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar,’ comprehending on the spot, his cultivation soaring to Postnatal Ninth Layer, greatly compensating for his shortcoming in cultivation, with several Sixth Realm Absolute Skills at his disposal. At this moment, Yan Chuan’s strength was absurd!
Should he meet Ying Jifeng, or Tan Dou, or Luo Qi on the ring again before they become absolute, Yan Chuan would no longer rely solely on ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ to avoid battle. He could fight head-on and even emerge victorious.
Against absolute figures, a mutually challenging outcome is also within reach.
For instance, Lady Shexiang encountered earlier. Although her cultivation was somewhat inferior, roughly only Postnatal Ten Layer, her dual knives didn’t lose to Ban Xianfu’s Saber Skill, barely squeezing into the ranks of the absolute, perhaps termed a ’Half-step Absolute.’
Yet such a character, such a master, was killed by Yan Chuan.
Sixth Realm Absolute Skills!
Sixth Realm Divine Skills!
Divine Skills + Absolute Skills!
Plus the Postnatal Ninth Layer, Limit-breaking Sixth Grade cultivation——
Yan Chuan achieved a magnificent transformation during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.
From being at the bottom of the ’Human List,’ to now being at the top, only a slight cultivation gap remained from the absolute figures!
At this moment, facing ’Black Eagle,’ someone at the Postnatal Peak, even slightly weaker than ’Lady Shexiang,’ Yan Chuan handled it with ease, giving a martial arts lecture comfortably——
"Eagle Claw Fist uses the Eagle Claw hand shape as the main technique, supplemented by fists, palms, and claws."
"Whether the claw shape is correct directly influences the accurate application of claw techniques and the display of the body’s Eagle Form."
"Therefore, when practicing ’Eagle Claw Skill,’ mastering the claw shape is the first step, especially to prevent mixing with Tiger Claw, Chicken Claw, Dragon Claw, and other claw shapes."
"Watch me, thumb extended outward and bent, the other four fingers together, the second and third knuckle bent tightly, each bent finger stretched towards the back of the hand, back of the hand arched, forming an Eagle Claw shape."
"This is ’Eagle Claw!’"
"Avoid spreading the four fingers or bending excessively."
"Yang Claw, Downward Claw, Reverse Claw, Standing Claw, Inverted Claw!"
"This is the ’Single Claw!’"
"Additionally, there are double claws, one claw one fist, or one claw one palm, changes come from the heart."
...
Xu Yang, several times, wanted to rush down and fight with Yan Chuan. The first time was when he saw Yan Chuan killing Lady Shexiang, the second was when he saw ’Black Eagle’ clearly falling behind.
But each time, he was beaten to it by Black Eagle.
This time, as he was about to descend, he unexpectedly saw ’South Sea Crocodile God’ stopping in the midst of battle, giving a lecture on the ’Eagle Claw Skill’ used by ’Black Eagle.’
Not only that.
Not just muttering.
But also at times drawing back his sword to transform into Eagle Claw, using Eagle Claw against Eagle Claw, showing off in the opponent’s domain.
Even for Xu Yang, as just a spectator, he could imagine how furious Black Eagle must be.
"This guy!"
Xu Yang was only in his second match of the Heavenly Ladder Competition and couldn’t figure out: "Is this a feature of the ladder? A unique tactic?"
He didn’t understand!
But the man’s explanation of Eagle Claw was indeed insightful, starting from the basics and delving deeply step by step, and by combining it with the opponent Black Eagle’s Eagle Claw, before long, Xu Yang found that the once fearsome Eagle Claw in his eyes was becoming clear and no longer mysterious.
"The claw techniques of Eagle Claw Fist mainly consist of grabbing, striking, pinching, hooking, holding, and embracing."
"Cloth Touching Pulse, severing tendons and dislocating bones, acupoint closure."
"Strikes are sharp, grabs are firm, without correct positioning, it is not a claw."
Yan Chuan and Black Eagle were both deploying ’Eagle Claw,’ one’s claw techniques were intricate and flexible, while the other’s were fast and powerful, with the force penetrating the muscle and bone.
Truly, it was a match between equals, neither yielding an inch.
Watching Yan Chuan’s explanation while observing Black Eagle’s performance, Xu Yang already had several response and counter-strategy methods in mind. Whether they could be applied, whether they would succeed, only actual combat could verify.
Xu Yang was eager to join the battlefield.
Suddenly.
At that moment——
"Whiz!"
Two flying darts simultaneously pierced the air, yet only made a faint sound——
One flew towards Yan Chuan!
And another dart aimed straight at Xu Yang, watching from the roof.
"What a fast dart!"
Xu Yang slapped the roof with his left hand, instead of dodging, he advanced, flickering forward swiftly past the flying dart, his long stick in hand sweeping away a piece of black tile——
Boom!
It went straight towards the source of the flying dart, with a boom, blasting out a woman. Xu Yang took a look——
[Code: Linjiang Immortal]
