Chapter 561: Chapter 361 Wave Riding Micro Steps, Divine Transformation! [Vote for monthly ticket!]_2
After cultivating during these days following the Sword Discussion.
Peng Fanian is reluctant to admit, but he has no choice but to acknowledge—
"Earthly List" person, perhaps, is my future!"
This is humiliating!
But Peng Fanian suddenly wakes up, realizing that it is very possible.
He recalls the strong Earthly List figures of the Great Yan dynasty, on the list, like the Iron-Armed Golden Ape Long Zhenfang of Eight Phases Mountain, and Yin Huaidao, the top of the Three Mountains West Swordsmanship of the Purple Beard Sect. When they were young, weren’t they each a renowned figure with a Heavenly Pride demeanor?
Decades ago, flourishing youth.
Decades later, renowned on the Earthly List.
But ultimately they wasted half their lives without reaching the Innate.
Peng Fanian reflects and compares, feeling anxious inside.
He doesn’t want to be like that.
points!
points!
Even 900 points!
These are neither his expectation nor his pursuit.
"What I seek is to prove the Innate Dao!"
Peng Fanian’s eyes gradually clear, his thoughts completely sorted out: "Relying solely on the Twelve Skills of Acupuncture, I’m afraid there’s no hope for becoming Innate. But Yan Chuan has many Absolute Skills, if one truly matches me, serving him for fifteen years—so what?"
It is better than climbing the "Earthly List" after fifteen years, seemingly glorious but in reality superficial.
Peng Fanian decides.
He no longer hesitates. After the first ten-day Tournament of the King City Competition ends, he seeks out Yan Chuan, seeking Absolute Skills!
...
Not just Peng Fanian.
Stimulated by the ’King City Competition’, there are also Lu Yuru and Ban Xianfu!
"Is it really martial arts dissemination?"
Ding Xiang is shocked.
She learns—
Peng Fanian obtains "Innate Skill" and "One Yang Finger" from Yan Chuan, with a contract to serve him for thirty years.
Lu Yuru obtains "Three-Point Sword Technique" from Yan Chuan, needing to serve him for twenty years.
Ban Xianfu obtains "Sacred Fire Command Skill" from Yan Chuan, needing to serve him for fifteen years.
"Does everyone have a suitable Absolute Skill?"
Ding Xiang is shocked.
She is unclear about the other Absolute Skills, but she has seen Yan Chuan demonstrating "One Yang Finger", which is an exceedingly brilliant Finger Skill Absolute Skill, a strange skill in Acupoint targeting, in the same domain as Peng Fanian’s "Twelve Skills of Acupuncture". With this Absolute Skill, Peng Fanian’s strength will surely reach a new height.
And Lu Yuru has been cultivating "Yin Yang Sword", "Four Symbols Sword", "Eight Diagrams Sword", trying to deduce a stunning swordsmanship like the "Three Heavenly Swords", which during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion was hinted by Yan Chuan, is already well known.
At this moment, she gets "Three-Point Sword Technique" from Yan Chuan. Although the details are unclear, just from the name of this Absolute Skill it can be guessed, it’s likely closely linked to Lu Yuru’s envisioned "Three Heavenly Swords", perhaps even holding a pivotal role, critically important, only then would Lu Yuru be willing to exchange twenty years for it.
As for Ban Xianfu’s "Sacred Fire Command Skill", Ding Xiang is completely unaware—
"Could it be a Saber Skill?"
...
"Sacred Fire Command Skill" is not a Saber Skill!"
"This is an extraordinary skill that takes the side-doors and unconventional paths to the peak. In terms of grandeur and depth, it doesn’t match the First-Grade Absolute Skills, but its subtlety, extraordinary victory by surprise. The movement technique is bizarre, reaching the extreme."
After the first ten-day Tournament of the King City Competition ends, Yan Chuan gathers Wang Zhengyi, Wang Ge, Ma Hongniang, and Ding Xiang, who has just reached 700 points.
A five-person team!
Is now formed!
Fu Yunzhan wanted a quick success but ultimately was slower. Even after ten days, he hasn’t reached 700 points, so this time the King City Competition can only let Ding Xiang participate.
After the first ten-day Tournament, everyone has their own thoughts.
But the one truly taking action is Yan Chuan. During the lectures, he is pondering, wondering how this group of novices who barely reached 700 points can achieve good results in the ’King City Competition’ where masters are abundant.
Thinking back and forth.
The only way is to win by surprise.
And the "surprise" is—
One is the "Sacred Fire Command Skill"!
Another is—
...
[Task Two]
[Research and Development Project Name: True Martial Seven Segment Formation (Difficulty: Geng★★★★★)]
[Inspiration: 0]
[Completing the task will gain ’Experience +25W’, ’Spirituality +25W’.]
...
"The ’True Martial Seven Segment Formation’ is strong indeed, but firstly the development difficulty is high, impossible to accomplish hurriedly. Secondly, even if created, in the short two-month ten-day Tournament of the King City Competition, everyone might not be able to train it properly, achieving seamless cooperation."
Yan Chuan certainly knows the formidable strength of the "True Martial Seven Segment Formation". In the Yitian, Zhang Sanfeng saw the Turtle and Snake Mountains before the seat of the True Martial Divine Statue, thinking that one Turtle and one Snake are the two things that possess both heaviness and spirituality, and from this deduction, created a set of exquisite, unpredictable Martial Arts.
However, the martial arts evolved from the majestic mountain forms of Turtle and Snake are by no means something that one person can wield simultaneously.
Therefore, he passed one set of skills to each of the seven disciples, each having its own subtlety and mystery. If two cooperate, then attack and defense are well-balanced, increasing the power significantly.
If three use it together, the power is twice as strong as two using it together.
Four are equivalent to eight masters, five to sixteen, six to thirty-two, seven to sixty-four top masters of the time acting simultaneously.
Seven are equivalent to sixty-four!
Seven 700-point individuals are equivalent to sixty-four 700-point individuals!
Once launched, how many people can resist?
Indeed, the ’King City Competition’ only allows teams of five to compete, but this "True Martial Seven Segment Formation" even with five can be displayed, equivalent to sixteen masters of the same level teaming up, with formidable power.
This compared to the Quanzhen Sect’s "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation", is not necessarily stronger, but at least more flexible.
"Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation" fails if missing one person, but this "True Martial Seven Segment Formation" is only slightly diminished if missing one, reducing power only a bit.
Nonetheless, the "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation" can form the "Beidou Formation", arranged by ninety-eight people, each set of seven forming fourteen "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formations", and each set of seven Beidou Formations forming a Big Beidou Formation, one normal and one unusual, mutually generating and inhibiting, forming horns, with infinite power.
This adds a magical transformation ability to the "True Martial Seven Segment Formation", enabling ordinary disciples of the Quanzhen Sect to form a grand array and battle Guo Jing, who was then a top figure of his time.
To Sects, to armies, the "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation", "Beidou Formation" is undoubtedly more practical.
Yan Chuan is currently developing the "True Martial Seven Segment Formation" to improve peak combat power for the ’King City Competition’, but this is a "Geng Five" Formation, difficult to develop in a short time, thus—
"Sacred Fire Command Skill!"
"For now, let’s use it as a stopgap!"
Yan Chuan looks at everyone, says loudly: "This "Sacred Fire Command Skill" is a summary derived from all the side-doors and unconventional paths I’ve seen at the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion and Heavenly Ladder City, and can be called the pinnacle of side-doors and unconventional paths. It can be performed by three people cooperating or by one person alone, excelling at surprising victory. Although not easily displayed, it can be used to pass a key stage. Ordinarily, it’s best to rely on one’s own skills."
The first time "Sacred Fire Command Skill" appeared, the Three Persian Envoys joined forces, and ’Golden Flower Granny’ of the Four Great Dharma Kings was powerless, even Zhang Wuji, whose Cultiivation was at Great Success, struggled to resist, making an astonishing debut, ridiculously strong.
But after witnessing it several times, Zhang Wuji was able to easily counter the "Sacred Fire Command Skill".
Therefore, this Divine Skill is best kept hidden, with surprise as the best course.
"As for combined techniques, the "Vajra Demon Suppression Circle" is ten times better than the "Sacred Fire Command Skill", but unfortunately, the cultivation difficulty of this "Vajra Demon Suppression Circle" is hundreds, thousands of times greater than the "Sacred Fire Command Skill"!"
"Vajra Demon Suppression Circle!"
Yan Chuan covets it, but considering the three Du Ku sitting for thirty years, can only look on with resigned admiration.
...
Time enters November, the ’King City Competition’ second round ten-day Tournament is about to start.
The last round, Yan Chuan watched as a spectator, unable to participate, only able to open a live broadcast room to explain. But this round, Ding Xiang breaks through 700 points, gathers five people, finally enabling team registration.
"We are all newly reaching 700 points, in the ten-day Tournament being able to win a match is success, don’t have too much burden, just let loose and fight." Yan Chuan knows that their makeshift team is too weak, and will be among the bottom in the ’King City Competition’, so he didn’t expect great results in the early rounds of the ten-day Tournament.
However—
"Two months!"
"Sixty days!"
"For the first fifty days, I will strive in the matches, explain with all my might. By the end of the last ten-day Tournament, my abilities will surely have greatly improved."
Including Wang Zhengyi and others.
If skills like "Dragon Elephant Wisdom", "Sunflower Manual", "Divine Illumination Scripture" can be developed, or even "True Martial Seven Segment Formation" completed, at that time, advancing won’t be out of the question.
But currently, it’s far from enough!
