Chapter 132: Chapter 114: Turning a deaf ear to the affairs beyond the window, focusing the mind solely on the readings of sages and saints!
"Hands and feet are inherently the same; why must boxing be divided into schools? In the end, both new and old factions return to the essence of boxing, and internal and external families are ultimately one family."
Jiang Bianliu was full of spirit, his eyes shining brightly, still unsatisfied, but he sensed Yan Chuan’s fatigue, so he stopped and addressed everyone on the first layer: "What we need to do is to develop stronger boxing techniques based on the work of our predecessors. Whether internal or external family, as long as we keep progressing, someday we will be strong and not inferior to others!"
Yan Chuan looked at Jiang Bianliu and then at the group of Cangwu Department martial artists on the first layer. He felt these people’s passion and the Cangwu Department’s enthusiasm for boxing and martial arts. He couldn’t help but admire, "To practice boxing, one must understand its principles. Those who delve into boxing theory are actually practicing boxing while also creating. They are the pioneers of the progress of Great Yan Martial Arts, worthy of respect and admiration!"
Burying their heads in the scrolls. freēnovelkiss.com
Delving into the principles of boxing.
These people can withstand solitude, focusing on research, even more commendable than the majority of martial arts enthusiasts at Guangling Academy.
The martial arts fool only for oneself!
While Cangwu Department, it’s for the world!
The pattern is vastly different.
On the side.
Jiang Bianliu held Yan Chuan’s hand, genuine and heartfelt: "In my early years, I’ve been researching the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill. Eight years ago, I was invited by the court to compile martial arts for Guangling Academy, further deriving Eighteen Families of Widespread Boxing Techniques from various schools of boxing, which is my proudest work. But over the years, I still want to make breakthroughs, wanting to integrate the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill of Guangling County to its utmost, creating the ultimate ’Guangling Fist’. Until recently, I saw no hope. But after hearing your martial arts lecture, I’ve realized!"
Jiang Bianliu!
Great Enlightenment!
He turned to Yan Chuan and declared: "The six layers of the Collection Room are yours to explore freely. I must now go into closed-door cultivation, organize my inspiration, and create boxing techniques. I can’t accompany you for the time being, hope you won’t mind, my friend!"
"Congratulations to Elder Jiang!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan hurriedly offered his congratulations!
...
Jiang Bianliu went into closed-door cultivation again, inspired by Yan Chuan, with inspiration flowing endlessly. This time, he vowed to create the ’Guangling Fist’.
Elder Jiang was not there.
Leaving Yan Chuan alone.
"Elder Jiang is about to create the ’Guangling Fist’."
"But my ’Xingyi Boxing’ still lacks the fire control."
Yan Chuan glanced at the progress of ’Xingyi Boxing’—
[Task Two]
[Research Project Name: Xingyi Boxing (Difficulty: Xin★)]
[Inspiration: 31]
[Completing the task can grant ’Experience +5000’, ’Spirituality +5000’.]
...
Before coming to the Cangwu Department, in ten days’ time, Yan Chuan’s ’Xingyi Boxing’ only had 9 points of inspiration. This martial arts lecture unknowingly within four hours, but 22 points of inspiration surged.
The gains were enormous!
But limited to this!
From here on, it remained difficult.
"’Inspiration’ comes from my ’accumulation’."
"I am the foundation."
"’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ and ’Derivation Skill’ are just aids."
Yan Chuan knew he had to make an effort!
And the Collection Room in the Cangwu Department was a treasure trove he longed for.
"As Elder Jiang instructed, the classics in the Collection Room can be freely consulted by Master Yan," said Zou Xiong, the Capital Affairs officer of the Cangwu Institute Guangling Branch, smiling at Yan Chuan: "Master Yan, please feel free!"
The wolf entered the sheepfold!
Yan Chuan was delighted!
...
Read the books!
But not haphazardly!
Yan Chuan read with a purpose—
"I want to develop ’Xingyi Boxing’, so I need to read all the boxing manuals in the Collection Room, the analyses and experiences of boxing experts."
"I also need to develop ’Yijinjing’, so any secret manuals about Bone Strengthening, improving aptitude, and cultivating inner strength, I need to read them too."
"Besides."
"The methods to advance to the Ten Elders level, reach the realms of Wang Kuan, Elder Shao, breaking the limit of Qi and Blood, refining Qi-Blood, I also need to find and read about them."
The last item may not be found.
Yan Chuan originally planned to ask Jiang Bianliu after discussing martial arts, as the old man was quite approachable.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bianliu directly achieved enlightenment and went into seclusion.
Didn’t get the chance!
So he had to work hard and find it himself.
But this is not urgent.
"Even if I can’t find it in the Collection Room, even if Elder Jiang can’t come out of seclusion for a while, I still have Taikang Academy and Elder Shao."
Breaking the limit of Qi and Blood!
Qi-Blood Refining!
He now had many channels and a wide network, ultimately he would find it.
...
Jiang Bianliu was in closed-door cultivation.
Yan Chuan stayed in the Collection Room, devotedly browsing various classics, treasuring every minute and second, carefully reading, chewing over, and thinking, completely unaware of the passage of time.
He came to the Cangwu Department at dusk, discussed martial arts for two hours, and it was already moonlit night.
Then read books in the Collection Room.
"In boxing, the eyes are respected, the eyes are the seed of the heart, this is ’Heart Eye Fist’."
"Steps like a cat, moving energy like drawing silk, this is ’Raccoon Cat Fist’."
"Still like a mountain, moving like a river, this is ’Banshan Hammer’."
...
Yan Chuan first looked at the boxing manuals, deliberately choosing those he hadn’t seen or encountered before, first increasing his knowledge and adding to his depth.
One volume after another!
Never putting a volume down!
Yan Chuan seldom had such an opportunity, or rather, in his twenty years of martial arts practice, and five months since awakening the ’Purple Mist Palace’, he had never read so vigorously, with countless classics, secret manuals, and boxing techniques available for his perusal.
Countless in number!
A thrilling read!
Yan Chuan immersed himself, utterly unaware of the change of day and night.
"Hiss~"
Until a sharp pain in his head, his concentration faltered, he lifted his head from the scrolls, finding himself in the Collection Room with the lamps extinguished and daylight outside.
"Is it the second day?"
Yan Chuan was in a daze.
One side, a voice suddenly rose: "Master Yan, it’s the third day’s noon!"
The voice was familiar.
Yan Chuan turned to look and sure enough, it was a familiar face, it was Zhong Hui—
One of the top figures of the Seven Star Boxing Club at Guangling Academy, just a step away from entering the ranks of the Academy’s forty elites, also a member of the Cangwu Department.
"Thank you."
Yan Chuan expressed his gratitude, rubbed his head, and smiled wryly.
It turned out to be the third day!
In other words, after discussing martial arts with Jiang Bianliu, he read continuously in this Collection Room for nearly eighteen hours.
Including the two hours of martial arts discussion.
Also accounting for the day and night of twelve hours fighting with Tu Lie and being chased around by Tu Meng in the Mountain and Sea Realm, plus the six hours of that day in the daytime.
In total—
"I’ve gone for thirty-eight hours without sleep!"
Seventy-six hours!
A full three days and nights!
Moreover, during this period, there were life-and-death battles, chases for one’s life, martial arts discussions, and studying.
Either high-intensity physical activity!
Or high-intensity mental activity!
Thrilling and exciting.
Thoughtful immersion.
This high intensity—
"I actually endured for three days and nights?"
It was a miracle!
But at this moment, his head was in pain, and fatigue besieged him, Yan Chuan couldn’t hold on any longer. He got up and went upstairs—
"Eh?"
"Where is Master Yan going?"
"Elder Wang invited you to the Academy."
Zhong Hui called to Yan Chuan from behind.
"Elder Wang?"
"Who?"
"I’ll go after I wake up."
Yan Chuan couldn’t remember who ’Elder Wang’ was, he went straight to the quiet room door of Jiang Bianliu’s closed-door training, leaned on the door, closed his eyes, and fell deeply asleep.
Guangling is full of dangers!
Only outside Elder Jiang’s door could Yan Chuan sleep peacefully.
"Asleep?"
Downstairs, Zhong Hui couldn’t go to the sixth layer, she looked at Yan Chuan sleeping distantly at the stairway in a daze. Looking at the tranquil face of Yan Chuan, she couldn’t associate him with the recent Martial Arts Competition where he defeated Guangling Academy with the ’Shadowless Kick’.
Moreover, yesterday, Zhong Hui heard from Society Leader Zhong Le, mentioning that Yan Chuan inexplicably entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, killed the renowned ’White Rock Shuang Tu’ Tu Lie, took a Sky Shattering Bow, and even blinded one of Tu Meng’s eyes.
"Is it his first time in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
"So formidable on the first try, how about the future?"
Incredible!
Zhong Hui was shocked!
Then she recalled Yan Chuan’s martial arts lecture on the first layer of the Collection Room the day before yesterday, straightforward, simple, and easy to understand. Zhong Hui spent all of yesterday thinking and digesting it, and her boxing and swordsmanship advanced another layer—
"Fu Fist Great Success!"
"Chuanlin Sword Great Success!"
She could confidently state that her current strength could easily place her in Guangling Academy’s top forty!
But compared to Yan Chuan’s achievements, she felt insignificant.
Golden Touch Yan Chuan!
Truly well-known!
"He is a formidable person!"
"Also a great teacher!"
"I heard he has been hired as a Guest Professor at Taikang Academy, about to start teaching there."
"I—"
Zhong Hui stood at the staircase, furrowing her brows in thought, her expression shifting, seemingly struggling internally, looking up at Yan Chuan, down at her treasure sword, her eyes gradually firming.
Clearly.
She had made a decision!
...
"Who first awakens from the great dream, I alone know my true self!"
Yan Chuan didn’t know how many hours he slept, but when he woke up, opening his eyes, all fatigue washed away, feeling refreshed and vigorous.
Looking back.
Jiang Bianliu was still in closed-door seclusion, not coming out.
Yan Chuan got up, bowed his fists towards the quiet room, and then went downstairs.
Just came down.
He saw.
Zhong Hui holding the sword, leaning by the stairs waiting, reading a scroll in her hand.
Yan Chuan recalled that before sleeping, Zhong Hui seemed to have come to invite him to Guangling Academy. Now, looking at the night sky outside, with stars twinkling, it was obviously deep night, and he had slept for at least half a day, Zhong Hui having waited long.
Yan Chuan went down the stairs.
Zhong Hui, upon seeing him, was delighted: "Master Yan, you’ve finally woken up after sleeping for forty hours!"
"Forty hours?"
Yan Chuan was startled, had he really slept for three days and nights?
"Ah?"
"No, no!"
"It’s four hours, my mistake."
Zhong Hui too was dizzy, quickly correcting herself.
"..."
Yan Chuan looked at the book in her hand titled ’Forty Shocking Bow Sword’, chuckling, he gestured to Zhong Hui: "You mentioned earlier, Elder Wang was looking for me? Is it Elder Wang Kuan of the ’Six Harmonies Fist’?"
"Yes, yes! Exactly!"
Zhong Hui nodded.
Yan Chuan was curious: "What does he want from me?"
Could it be to return my precious Iron Bow?
Haha!
Yan Chuan was indulging in pleasant thoughts!
Zhong Hui shook her head: "I don’t know."
Perhaps her mindset had changed, originally cool and aloof, Zhong Hui now appeared a bit silly and adorable in front of Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan smiled at her: "It’s late, I need to return to the Martial Arts Hall first, please inform Elder Wang that I will definitely visit Guangling Academy first thing in the morning tomorrow."
He now had Elder Jiang’s protection, no longer fearing Guangling Academy!
But he couldn’t go now.
After running away from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and staying at the Cangwu Department for two days——
"I ran away from White Rock Mountain on the twenty-second."
"Helped return to Guangling City on the twenty-third."
"Today is already the night of the twenty-fifth."
"The Master might have already returned."
Yan Chuan needed to check the Martial Arts Hall first.
