Chapter 722 - 441: Heavenly Pride Trapped!_2
"Senior Brother is always so humble." Ding Xiang felt even more affection. She looked at Yan Chuan: "There is no war in Tan Valley. Senior Brother has been giving martial arts lectures in the Tan Valley Army, teaching everything from ’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’ to ’Xingyi Boxing’ including five fists. The past two days, you’ve even discussed the ’Little Arhat Formation’, ’Eighteen Copper Men Formation’, and ’Twenty-four Arhats Formation’. Junior Sister dares to ask, are you planning to leave again in a few days?"The last time, Yan Chuan lectured for half a month in the Tan Valley Army, thoroughly discussing ’Five Fists’, and after teaching the ’Little Arhat Formation’ and "Dragon Elephant Wisdom", he left.
Ding Xiang guessed it would be the same this time.
Her guess was correct.
"Indeed, I have that intention." Yan Chuan did not hide it.
In the Tan Valley Royal City, he was familiar with every newly advanced innate, almost all of whom were cultivating the absolute skills he designed. It did promote Yan Chuan himself, but ultimately, it was like a pot of meat rotting in a single pot; the cake couldn’t grow faster.
Yan Chuan still needed to leave, and his first choice was still the Hunxi Royal City.
"Hunxi Royal City?" Ding Xiang was taken aback.
She had read the latest issue of the "Heavenly List" and saw both herself and Ying Jifeng on it, and noticed Yan Chuan’s ranking had soared to the eleventh position. Seeing Yan Chuan’s battle record in the Hunxi Royal City, she was puzzled: The Hunxi Royal City housed the ’Four Families and Three Sects’, and Yan Chuan had killed a Second-Rank Divine General of the Fu Family there, offending two Third-Rank Divine Generals. Under such circumstances, how could he dare go there again?
Was he not afraid of death?
"One of the Four Families and Three Sects in Hunxi, the Lishan Sect, invited me to serve as a tribute at a branch. The Lishan Sect is filled with innates, and absolute skills rain down. Such an opportunity is rare, and I want to go and see." Yan Chuan spoke the truth.
To him——
Innate Divine General!
Absolute Skill Scriptures!
This is the foundation for his "Mutual Teaching and Learning" and "Derivation Skill", significantly aiding his martial arts accomplishment and speeding up various martial arts derivations.
Lishan Sect!
A great place!
For himself, that’s one reason.
Moreover, Master Cheng Fengxiao was cultivating at the Lishan Sect’s Jiujiang Institute, practicing the "Four Seas Unification Skill". Yan Chuan wanted to visit the Lishan Sect’s Jiujiang Institute to obtain more feedback on the "Four Seas Unification Skill" from numerous innates, enhancing his own command of this Divine Skill to better help Cheng Fengxiao, so Master could comprehend better and prove Dao faster.
For himself!
For Master!
This Hunxi Royal City, this Lishan Sect, this Jiujiang Institute, Yan Chuan was prepared to visit again!
"But Senior Brother offended the Fu Family and showcased an Innate Second Layer counter-kill of an Innate Sixth Layer in Nanxiong City, escaping from the overwhelming explosive power of the Innate Twelfth Layer. I worry that not only will the Fu Family keep tracking your whereabouts, but there might also be people in the Lishan Sect who covet and become malicious!" Ding Xiang worried.
But Yan Chuan knew what he had to do.
Firstly, he had an abundant supply of ’Fire Bud Crystal’, making his strength manifest differently every day, always progressing. For instance, in the half month since he returned to the Tan Valley Royal City after the battle in Nanxiong City, Yan Chuan had already refined six Fire Bud Crystals, with his physique strength nearly catching up to the Innate Fifth Layer——
’Physique strength’, though measured against the likes of ’Innate Fourth Layer’, ’Innate Fifth Layer’ to the Innate Twentieth Layer, the so-called ’Innate Fifth Layer physique strength’ does not mean ’the physique strength of a Martial Artist at Innate Fifth Layer’, but rather means ’the physique can withstand a full power strike of the Innate Fifth Layer without breaking!’
The difference between the two is as vast as clouds and mud——
"A Martial Artist at Innate Fifth Layer without using Inner Strength, solely relying on physique, can be easily breached by any newly advanced innate, hence their ’physique strength’ isn’t even at Innate First Layer."
"But now, my ’physique strength’ approaches Innate Fifth Layer, with just my physical body, I can withstand a full power strike from Innate Fourth Layer without explosive power or life-and-death fighting!"
This is the definition of ’physique strength’!
Yan Chuan had ample ’Fire Bud Crystals’, his physique changing daily, continually improving, his power ever-growing.
"If the Fu Family dispatches innates based on my power demonstrated in Nanxiong City to deal with me, at most they’ll send out a few Third-Rank Divine Generals, and if extremely cautious, sending out a Fourth-Rank Divine General would be their utmost limit!"
Fourth-Rank Divine General!
At least Innate Fifteenth Layer!
They are not only powerful but also hold respectable statuses.
In the Lishan Sect, the entry requirement for the Nine Institutes and Ten Elders is the Fourth Rank, like Zhou Shun, who is Innate Fifteenth Layer.
Even if the Fu Family wants revenge by sending Fourth-Rank Divine Generals after Yan Chuan killed a Fu Family Second-Rank Divine General, the likelihood is minimal.
And as for Yan Chuan?
"Once I enhance my physique strength to the Innate Fifth Layer or even Sixth Layer, I can unleash explosive power, and even a Fourth-Rank Divine General won’t be able to capture or kill me."
Fire Bud Crystal!
Invincible physique!
Changing daily!
This is one of Yan Chuan’s confidences.
Furthermore.
Secondly.
"I also have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’. As long as I enter the Lishan Sect, the students in the Jiujiang Institute from Innate down to Limit-breaking can listen to my martial arts lectures, all providing me feedback."
Lishan Sect!
Jiujiang Institute!
This is a massive experience library!
’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, seamlessly and without traces, allowing Yan Chuan to reap piles of experiences, turning them into resources for growth.
With ’Fire Bud Crystal’, Yan Chuan’s physique changes daily, with hard strength constantly growing.
With ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, Yan Chuan’s martial arts accomplishment in the Lishan Sect can also change daily, with soft strength constantly growing.
With both hard and soft strength!
Who can estimate Yan Chuan’s power?
It’s impossible to grasp.
When a Third-Rank Divine General comes, Yan Chuan can rival Fourth-Rank.
When a Fourth-Rank Divine General comes, Yan Chuan can rival Fifth-Rank.
When a Fifth-Rank Divine General comes, Yan Chuan can rival Sixth-Rank.
As long as he conceals the limits of his strength well, Yan Chuan will stay safe forever.
What Yan Chuan feared was not the open threat of the Fu Family, but worry that someone in the Lishan Sect might be unfavorable towards him, worrying that some big shot in the Lishan Sect might target him.
This is an uncontrollable factor.
However, even faced with the Lishan Sect, Yan Chuan had a final method of handling——
"If things become untenable, I can just open the ’Soul Channel’ to escape using Old Wang’s ’Monkey King Avatar’!"
With Old Wang!
With the ’Soul Channel’!
Yan Chuan can leave without worries.
With so many cards at his disposal, including the three ’Hao hairs’ on his head, Yan Chuan certainly had the courage to venture into the Hunxi Royal City and the Lishan Sect!
...
Seeing she couldn’t persuade Yan Chuan, Ding Xiang quickly changed her tune: "Senior Brother, can you take me with you?"
Her ’Mind Reading Technique’ had to be within close proximity to Yan Chuan to trigger, and Ding Xiang was reluctant to part with Yan Chuan. Like this time, if she had stayed with Yan Chuan early on and consulted frequently, perhaps she could have proved Dao even earlier.
When Ding Xiang proved Dao, everyone, even Yan Chuan, felt it was too fast and unexpected, but only she knew——
"If it weren’t for his disappearance for two months, I could have been even earlier!"
With the lesson from last time, this time Yan Chuan was leaving, and of course, Ding Xiang wanted to follow. She looked eagerly at Yan Chuan: "I want to be by Senior Brother’s side all the time and often ask for guidance. Moreover, I’m now at the Innate Realm. Although I’ve just broken through, Senior Brother knows my capabilities inside out. My qinggong movement techniques are my forte, at least self-preservation isn’t difficult, and I definitely won’t be a burden to Senior Brother."
Ding Xiang dearly wanted to be with Yan Chuan.
But Yan Chuan still shook his head: "You also know the Fu Family won’t let me go. This trip to the Hunxi Royal City is full of dangers, and I can’t ensure my safety, let alone protect you. Junior Sister Ding’s qinggong is good, but when confronted with Third-Rank or even Fourth-Rank Divine Generals, it’s far from enough."
Of course, he wanted to take Ding Xiang with him.
After all, among all Heavenly Prides and all innates, Ding Xiang had the best ’comprehension’. She had an extremely high talent in qinggong movement techniques, easily grasping all of Yan Chuan’s teachings and further innovating, then returning Yan Chuan’s input after further processing.
To put it this way!
Ding Xiang felt to Yan Chuan like an ’external device’ in the field of qinggong movement techniques. Yan Chuan could input his understanding and insights of qinggong movement into this ’external device’, which then transformed it and output more multilayered and multifaceted new things, rapidly enhancing Yan Chuan’s qinggong movement techniques.
