Chapter 504: Chapter 333 ’Lady She Xiang’ requests to add you as a friend—[Request for monthly pass!]
"So it’s ’Linjiang Immortal’!"
Yan Chuan!
Black Hawk!
Xu Yang!
Linjiang Immortal!
These four are top-ranked experts on the [Kill List], now encountering one another.
"Linjiang Immortal!"
"Come fight!"
Xu Yang burst into a shout, stepping into the air, wielding an iron staff to attack Linjiang Immortal.
Yan Chuan, with Linjiang Immortal caught off guard, is suddenly attacked by a flying dart. Without time to use the Eagle Claw, he flicks his body, wielding a sharp sword, effortlessly breaking the hidden weapon with the ’Arrow Breaking Style’. Far from being annoyed, he is delighted—
[Your ’Dugu Nine Swords’ has improved, Skill Level +1]
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has improved, Skill Level +1]
...
Since stepping into the Sixth Realm of Absolute Skill, progress has been difficult, but surprisingly, he can advance in this ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’, which makes Yan Chuan truly delighted.
Opponents in the ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’ come from thousands of miles apart, and here martial arts lectures can also trigger "Mutual Teaching and Learning," yielding feedback.
So—
"If I come here for a few matches every day, choose ’Thousand-Person Battle’ for each match, and have thousands of different people listen to my martial arts lecture every day," with ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ triggered, how much progress could I make?"
In reality, there’s no such opportunity.
But here, in the Heavenly Ladder Competition, it’s entirely possible.
Others might come here to hone their combat skills or to experience the Hundred Schools Martial Arts.
But for Yan Chuan—
"For me," ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ is the greatest goal!"
For example, right now.
He with Black Hawk, Xu Yang with Linjiang Immortal!
Four top experts!
A duel in pairs!
The four are fiercely battling on the street, with countless people spectating from all sides.
Competitors in the novice arena might not be too skilled, but they at least have limit-breaking strength. They come from the Mountain and Sea Realm, from all over, and their martial arts cultivation and environmental exposure vary greatly. When Yan Chuan lectures to these people, he often gains more inspiration and diverse feedback, substantially enhancing his progress.
"It’s a pity the ’Thousand-Person Battle’ is too intense. If only everyone could sit down and earnestly listen to my martial arts lecture, with each match having a thousand martial artists from different backgrounds listening," with ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, how much progress could I make?"
Don’t dare to imagine!
Just the thought is exciting!
Unfortunately—
"Thousand-Person Battle!"
"Too intense!"
"Can’t stop at all!"
...
"Eagle Claw!"
"Or grab, or capture, or hook, or pinch."
"But, learning fists is easy, flowing energy is difficult."
"’Eagle Claw Skill’ absorbs grappling techniques; its Power Skill often manifests as strong within soft, with power transmitted from the waist and shoulders to the Eagle Claw."
"Watch me!"
"Watch Black Hawk!"
Yan Chuan teaches ’Eagle Claw Skill’, demonstrating Eagle Claw himself, while forcing Black Hawk to display more variations of Eagle Claw techniques.
Both of them—
One robust and forceful, with waist force flowing through the hands.
One with dense, quick hand techniques, forceful and crisp.
"Strike with fists and palms, return with Eagle Claw grasp, fists dense as rain, quick and crisp like a whip!"
"When practicing Eagle Claw Power Skill, it must coordinate with breathing, achieving ’opening exhale and gathering inhale’, ’exhaling to exert, inhaling to store’, ’exhaling to release, inhaling to absorb’."
Mao Xiaoliu spectates the battle of the four experts on the street, enjoying the spectacle, but mostly watching the ’Eagle Claw Skill’ duel between Yan Chuan and Black Hawk.
Through Yan Chuan’s explanations and combining the ’Eagle Claw Skill’ of the two, Mao Xiaoliu indeed gains insights, noticing how Black Hawk uses short, rapid breath exhalation to express strong force when exerting Gang Energy.
Meanwhile, the Power Skill of the ’South Sea Crocodile God’ constantly changes during movement, adapting to the situation.
Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant!
Originally, the duel between the two was already colorful, but with Yan Chuan’s explanations, it became even more enlightening, indescribably thrilling.
Mao Xiaoliu listens intently, feeling the mastery of ’Eagle Claw Skill’ improving, with ’Eagle Bloodline’ within him impulsively stirring, showing signs of refinement.
Originally, he only wanted to check his cultivation progress at the ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’, to hone himself, but unexpectedly encounters a peculiar person explaining while fighting in the "Thousand-Person Battle".
"I’ve really hit the jackpot this time!"
Mao Xiaoliu is overjoyed.
Watching.
Learning.
Suddenly.
The ’South Sea Crocodile God’, with a swipe of Eagle Claw, breaks Black Hawk’s face, leaving five claw marks, scaring Black Hawk away.
Running away is fine.
Once he turns tail and shows his back to Yan Chuan, he’s practically seeking death.
Such a large opening on the back, Yan Chuan simply cannot resist—
"Shh!"
With a sword in hand, using Wave Riding Micro Steps, effortlessly bypasses all of Black Hawk’s maneuvers, and runs him through on the spot.
Black Shadow!
Killed!
After finishing Black Hawk.
Yan Chuan reverses the long sword, pointing the tip to the ground, and says aloud to the surroundings: "I am ’South Sea Crocodile God’, love teaching martial arts, dislike killing, enjoy making friends. If willing to listen, there’s no need to step forward, just pay attention. If you trust me and encounter martial arts difficulties, feel free to come forward, and we can exchange ideas."
Heavenly Ladder Competition!
Thousand-Person Battle!
This isn’t just about strength, endurance, but also strategy and calculation.
Such words from Yan Chuan in the expert field would probably be met with doubt.
But in this novice field, most people have only participated in three or five matches, and they are straightforward.
Such as Mao Xiaoliu.
Upon hearing ’South Sea Crocodile God’ offering advice, without a second thought, he leaps forward—
"Crocodile God!"
"Me me me!"
Mao Xiaoliu rushes forward and asks Yan Chuan: "’Eagle Claw Skill’, besides claw shape, claw technique, Power Skill, also includes stepping technique, leg technique, movement technique, jumping, etc. I’m decent at practicing them individually, but I always feel there’s an issue with overall coordination. Watching Crocodile God and Black Hawk demonstrate ’Eagle Claw Skill’, I feel there’s something wrong in my cultivation. I wish to seek your guidance."
