The Heavenly Masters fell silent together.
Qian Lingyi was the first to notice Yan Chuan’s outstanding movement technique and the first to praise him. Now, he couldn’t understand what Yan Chuan was doing, "He obviously took the lead, why did he stop?"
Hui Zhenzi was also puzzled: "Who is he talking to?"
The "Mingzhu General" practiced "Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes" with considerable fire control, and what Yan Chuan explained was generally good. ’White Eyebrow Eagle King’ Yang Wang praised his own disciple and confirmed Yan Chuan’s explanation, but he was also confused: "But why didn’t he keep climbing, and stopped to explain ’Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes’? Could it be that he fancies my Mingzhu?"
Besides this, Yang Wang really couldn’t think of any other reason.
The crowd of Grandmasters was bewildered.
Only Tian Jing.
Only Jiang Bianliu.
These two were the most familiar with Yan Chuan, knowing that he was reverting to his old habits.
Tian Jing amusingly said: "Yan Chuan, coming from a small Martial Arts Hall, is the senior brother and has been teaching on behalf of the master for a long period, most nostalgic about the days of passing on martial arts at the hall. His ’desire to teach others’ is widely known. He once publicly instructed opponents in martial arts at the Guangling City Martial Arts Competition, and in the Jian Province Competition. Tian here advocated for Yan Chuan’s title of ’Innate Master’, firstly as a jest, referring to a remarkable tale between Yan Chuan and Senior Jiang, and secondly based on Yan Chuan’s tendency to ’want to teach others’. His love for teaching has surpassed being a hobby, it should be called a ’peculiar habit’. Regardless of time or place, as you all can see, ’taking the lead’ nicely, he stopped and started lecturing again."
Tian Jing’s explanation was clear enough.
Peculiar habit?
That’s just normal.
There are countless eccentric people, especially among the extraordinary talents and the gifted, they often have many amusing quirks.
For example, the fifth on the "Heavenly List," the leader of the Eight Great Vajra of Eight Phases Mountain, ’Wind God’ Lv Xuan, loves streaking, often performing the "Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg" naked. The artistry of his three-leg technique is marvelous, roaming the world, under the name of ’experiencing nature intimately to comprehend martial arts’.
For example, the third on the "Heavenly List," Qinghu Manor’s ’Qinghu Immortal’ Wu Xian, prefers feminine attire over armor, often disguised as a woman occupying the mortal world, even visiting brothels to experience the life of a brothel’s belle, flaunting musical and artistic skills, selling art, not the body. In earlier days, Wu Xian’s quirk was concealed, but after achieving the Innate state, and becoming undefeated, he handed Qinghu Manor to his brother ’Ghost God Shock’ Wu Yu, becoming more uninhibited, often appearing in public dressed as a woman, indeed a marvel.
And then, the second on the "Heavenly List," foremost of the Three Saints of Wuji Palace ’Eternal Immortal’ Wuzhenzi possesses great power, yet is slovenly and dislikes bathing. There are even rumors that this immortal loves to stand on ’Wuji Mountain’s’ highest point, relieving himself into the wind for ten feet. Any of the younger generation in Wuji Palace who catch Wuzhenzi’s eye are almost all taken up the summit of Wuji Mountain to experience this release with him.
Compared to Lv Xuan’s ’streaking’, Wu Xian’s ’cross-dressing’, and Wuzhenzi’s ’urinating into the wind for ten feet’, Yan Chuan’s quirk of ’wanting to teach others’ isn’t even peculiar, it’s just ordinary.
...
Heavenly Masters discussed.
Down the mountain, Yan Chuan lectured.
The Innate Grandmasters had sharp ears and clear eyes; although hundreds of feet apart, they could hear clearly. Yan Chuan employed the "Lion Roar" method to amplify his voice at the base of the cliff, making it loud and clear, allowing the Grandmasters to hear even more distinctly.
The Grandmasters listened to the lecture.
The feedback surged.
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ improved, Skill Level +3]
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ improved, Skill Level +1]
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ improved, Skill Level +2]
...
The mastery of "Wave Riding Micro Steps" continued to grow, and not slowly.
But more matched, the faster growth came from [Task Three: Ladder Cloud Jump]—
[Task Three: inspiration +5]
[Task Three: inspiration +2]
[Task Three: inspiration +4]
...
As Yan Chuan explained Shi Mingzhu’s "Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes", many methods and skills involving straight up and down, reverse upward and downward, high and low advances and retreats naturally absorbed the essence through careful observation. Plus, the thought and feedback from the many masters including those at the base of the mountain brought a continuous influx of inspiration.
Professionally aligned!
Rapid growth!
After fully explaining the "Chufeng" Ninth Stone Mingzhu and "Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes", once the speed of accumulating inspiration for [Task Three] slowed down, the inspiration for "Ladder Cloud Jump" had already increased to 84 points, with success imminent.
Time is money.
Without hesitation, Yan Chuan abandoned Shi Mingzhu and "Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes", turning his attention to the "Chufeng" Fifth ’Enchanting Demon’ Ding Xiang!
...
"Ding Xiang, known as ’Enchanting Demon,’ utilizes movement technique ’Shadowy Charm.’"
"Look at the dashing, reclining, flashing, leaning, falling, lying, slanting, softening; from her mountain-climbing actions, it seems this movement focuses on these eight characters."
"Dashing hits, reclining hugs, flashing dodges, leaning elbows."
"Falling empties, lying legs, slanting walks, softening maneuvers."
"Eight characters cascade, movement varies greatly."
"Combined with the stepping technique—"
"Smooth, upright, rapid, winding, raise, jump, bite, together."
"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"
"Marvelous!"
"Smooth steps strike, upright steps observe, rapid steps advance, winding steps dodge."
"Raise steps empty, jump steps leap, bite steps grip, together steps turn."
"Movement and stepping technique combined, that’s ’Shadowy Charm,’ ghost-like, unpredictable."
...
Ding Xiang was striving to take the lead, suddenly heard a loud voice from the mountain base, and listened for a moment. At first, she heard someone explaining Shi Mingzhu’s "Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes", initially halfheartedly listening, but unexpectedly gaining some insights.
