Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 173 - 154: Spreading Xingyi! Yan Chuan Bone Training!

Chapter 173: Chapter 154: Spreading Xingyi! Yan Chuan Bone Training!

Early the next morning.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

"Finally here!"

Huo Zhen and Shao Yancong galloped on horseback, relentlessly, and soon after sunrise, they finally reached Suanzao Mountain. Riding straight towards Dragon Tiger Peak, just about to rescue Yan Chuan, they saw—

A crowd swarmed atop Dragon Tiger Peak.

Nearly a hundred apprentices from Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, nearly a hundred martial artists from the Three Counties, with more than two hundred people in the mountains, the scene was lively and bustling.

At this moment.

The crowd surrounded.

In the center stood Yan Chuan.

"He’s alright?"

"Thank goodness!"

Huo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that he’s okay." Shao Yancong was also relieved. Only heaven knew how he felt when he saw Huo Zhen rushing for help in the middle of the night in Taikang County. He could never have imagined that Yan Chuan, who was solely pursuing the ’Secret Method Breaking Limit,’ would actually achieve ’Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough’ first, unexpectedly and extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, Yan Chuan was unharmed.

"Who could have been the bone training limit-breaker that assisted?"

Shao Yancong pondered to himself.

Meanwhile.

Huo Zhen had already stepped forward, listening intently to Yan Chuan’s voice within the encircling crowd—

"’Xingyi Boxing’ consists of ’Three Sections’ and ’Eight Requirements.’

"What are the ’Three Sections’?"

"’Tip section initiates, middle section follows, root section propels,’ these are the Three Sections."

"From a whole-body perspective, the head and upper limbs are the tip section, the torso is the middle section, and the lower limbs are the root section; for the upper limbs, the hand is the tip section, the elbow is the middle section, and the shoulder is the root section; for the lower limbs, it is divided into hip, knee, and foot sections. Meeting the requirements of the ’Three Sections’ ensures total body unity, achieving inner and outer unity."

"As for the ’Eight Requirements’—

"Top, clasp, round, quick, hug, droop, bend, straighten, these are the ’Eight Requirements’!"

"To expand, it means—

"Top, the head must be topped, the palm must be forward-topped, the tongue tip must be topped!"

"Clasp, the shoulders should clasp, the back of the hand and foot should clasp, the teeth should clasp!"

"Round, the chest should be round, the back should be round, the tiger’s mouth should be round!"

"Quick, ..."

...

Three Sections!

Eight Requirements!

"Xingyi Boxing?!"

The more Huo Zhen listened, the more surprised he became. These things seemed familiar, and after a moment’s thought, he recalled that this was precisely the essence of the boxing techniques he had seen in Yan Chuan’s manual a few days ago!

Yan Chuan was actually revealing the essence of these boxing techniques to the crowd?!

"What’s going on?!"

What does Yan Chuan intend to do?

"Xingyi Boxing?"

"Is this the boxing technique Professor Yan Chuan created after sudden enlightenment?"

Shao Yancong was also listening, his eyes filled with amazement. On the way, he heard from Huo Zhen about Yan Chuan’s situation, knowing that Yan Chuan had developed a profound boxing technique, but he had no concept of how profound. As he listened carefully, it didn’t take long for Shao Yancong to become serious, realizing: "This boxing technique is not simple!"

Indeed, it’s not simple!

Very early in the morning.

Yan Chuan teaching boxing.

He started with the ’Three Body Formation,’ the ’Five Elements Boxing,’ and the ’Twelve Forms,’ before delving into more detailed boxing techniques. He did not hide the boxing theories summarized and organized from the Hundred Schools of Boxing through ’Xingyi Boxing’—

Three Sections!

Eight Requirements!

Seven Skills!

Six Directions!

He explained them one by one.

Among the crowd, some were fully concentrated, some were indifferent, some were fervently taking notes, and some were scratching their heads.

A tapestry of humanity unfolded.

Huo Zhen was absorbed in listening.

He had previously seen many of Yan Chuan’s boxing manuals, but did not understand them. Now, combined with Yan Chuan’s explanations, he finally grasped—

"Solid Marrow Bone, Refine Spirit Root, spring in the cave of peach blossoms everywhere."

"This is the Rooting Method!"

"The so-called ’Rooting’ refers to ’refining the foundation, cultivating Spirituality,’ while ’Xingyi Boxing’ emphasizes ’deceiving roots and extracting joints’ in striking skills, it emphasizes nurturing spirit roots in ’inner cultivation and outer refinement.’

"Training in ’Xingyi Boxing’ implies understanding the soul of each form and style from the movements of the boxing. Spirit roots getting exercised, the more they are refined, the more brilliant they become, naturally leading to ’spring in the cave of peach blossoms everywhere.’

"’Xingyi Boxing’ also has its external ’root,’ which from a striking perspective allows one to stand like a tree, unmoving as a mountain, representing power, which is the ’root.’ To strike the enemy with ’Xingyi Boxing,’ one must deceive the enemy’s root, extract the enemy’s joints, which is what ’Xingyi Boxing’s’ ’deceiving roots and extracting joints’ is about.

"The ’Rooting’ of ’Xingyi Boxing’ is striking the enemy like pulling out a weed, gently uprooting the opponent’s plant.

Transparent!

Huo Zhen felt profound understanding, finding great joy. The more he immersed himself in it, the more he thought, the more vast and deep ’Xingyi Boxing’ seemed, as if it was endless, with infinite mysteries waiting to be discovered, enticing deep thought and attracting interest.

Even his own ’Butterfly Palm,’ even though pushed to Secret Martial Arts level by Taikang Academy, seemed like nothing in comparison to ’Xingyi Boxing,’ a clear deciding factor between high and low.

Unlike Huo Zhen.

Shao Yancong, having joined mid-way, did not catch everything, so he observed the scene, seeing the array of different responses from people, then shifting his gaze, he noticed a falcon perched not far from Yan Chuan, and upon closer inspection, the falcon was tilting its head, seemingly listening as well. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Yan Chuan’s martial lecture actually attracted even the birds and beasts!"

Shao Yancong marveled.

...

"Sect Leader Huo, you’ve worked hard!"

"Elder Shao, you’ve worked hard!"

As the morning’s martial lecture ended, Yan Chuan saw Huo Zhen and Shao Yancong, noting their dusty travel, he quickly saluted with cupped hands.

He understood that the two had hurriedly come to rescue him.

"It’s good that Professor Yan is okay." Shao Yancong chuckled, "Congratulations, Professor Yan, on breaking the Qi-Blood limit!"

Shao Yancong, with keen eyesight, noted Yan Chuan’s Qi and blood like a rainbow, clearly having broken the limit.

Huo Zhen also rejoiced for Yan Chuan: "Congratulations, Palace Master Yan!"

"Merely fortunate."

Yan Chuan humbly replied, then invited the two, "Please, the both of you, take a rest, and let me finish teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’ before we catch up."

Xingyi Boxing!

It wasn’t fully taught yet!

...

On this day,

the morning was a general class, Yan Chuan broadly taught ’Xingyi Boxing’ at Dragon Tiger Peak. Regardless of the New or Old Faction, whether or not they joined the Hundred Flower Palace, anyone could come and listen. There were more than two hundred listeners, a large number.

The morning was for a middle class, only those who clearly joined the Hundred Flower Palace could listen, starting with the original Duan Jiu, Luo Yi, and twenty-two others. After the morning class, it quickly surged to thirty-four people, and the Hundred Flower Palace grew ever more prosperous.

The afternoon was a small class, listened to only by Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang, Wei Quan, Che Qi, Zhong Hui, Su Ye, Peng Quan, and Huang Geng, among whom, besides Wei Quan and Che Qi, were all members of the ’Yan Chuan Team’ for the upcoming Jian Province Competition in February from Taikang Academy.

Additionally,

Wang Kuan, Jian Rong, Huo Zhen, and Shao Yancong, these four limit-breakers attended regardless if it was a large or small class; Yan Chuan didn’t exclude them, and even more eagerly anticipated their constant presence, after all, the observations and feedback from those at the limit-breaking level were incomparable to ordinary martial artists.

The ’wool’ on them was the thickest!

...

Teaching boxing by day, training boxing alongside.

Yan Chuan didn’t neglect his own cultivation.

...

Your ’Splitting Fist’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

Your ’Cannon Fist’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

Your ’Drilling Fist’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

Your ’Cross Fist’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

...

Your ’Five Elements Boxing’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

...

Your ’Three Body Formation’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

...

Your ’Twelve Forms’ has improved, from the Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

With teaching and practice, Yan Chuan received more feedback, and ’Xingyi Boxing’ continued to deepen, ’Five Elements Boxing,’ ’Three Body Formation,’ and ’Twelve Forms’ successively reached mastery.

This was progress in martial arts.

Meanwhile,

The advancement in martial arts drove the growth of Qi and blood. Yan Chuan’s Qi and blood surged like a rainbow, the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ resonating throughout his body, the limit-breaking realm quickly stabilizing. Just by the second day after breaking the limit, Yan Chuan swiftly entered the ’Qi Blood Refining’ stage of cultivation after the ’Qi-Blood limit-breaking.’

Qi Blood Refining!

Bone Training as the beginning!

With this training, Yan Chuan came to realize—

"Bone Training!"

"Truly difficult!"

...

"Body like a bow set for shooting, hand like a hundred arrows, enter and exit a steady path, closely interconnected, forging ahead courageously with one burst, rise and fall with arrow penetration, footwork unbroken."

"This is ’Beng Fist’!"

"Body like a drawn bow, hand like a hundred arrows crossing."

"’Beng Fist’ has the momentum of a boat riding the waves, its form like an arrow yet not an arrow, requiring attention to the entry and exit of the Qi."

"This ’Qi’ starts at the point of the big toe, travels up the dorsum of the foot, crosses one inch above the ankle, up eight inches past the ankle, crossing behind the spleen, up the inner thigh, into the groin, passing the pelvic bones, reaching the small abdomen, encircling the stomach, liver, and gall bladder, penetrating the diaphragm, spreading through the ribs, tracing the throat, and entering the brain, connecting the eyes, ascending the forehead, and meeting the Du Meridian at the top of the head."

On this morning, Yan Chuan was once again imparting ’Xingyi Boxing,’ delving deeper into the ’Five Elements Boxing,’ specifically detailing ’Beng Fist.’

Rehearsing ’Beng Fist’ numerous times.

With each cycle of ’Beng Fist’s Qi’ circulating within his body, the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ only resonated when the Qi traveled to the joint of the big toe on his right foot.

The Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound would erupt!

Yan Chuan’s entire body would become numbed, especially the toe joints, while the sound’s emergence would cause a tremble in his entire Qi and blood, alternating between heat and coolness, washing over his body in indescribable exhilaration.

However, the Qi and blood were being consumed rapidly.

A person’s Qi and blood constantly cycle without pause, continuously consuming and generating. During ordinary cultivation and combat, Yan Chuan could lock in his Qi and blood, preventing its escape, allowing him to persist for long periods.

But during bone tempering, and activation of the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ he was often left with deficits.

His entire Qi and blood consumption were evident.

He couldn’t maintain extended and continuous bone tempering or perform ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ for long periods.

At present—for instance—

Yan Chuan tempered and paused intermittently, calculating every bit of Qi and blood, being as frugal as possible.

The best steel is used on the knife’s edge.

He preferred to apply ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ during the execution of the ’Half-step Beng Fist,’ maximizing efficiency for bone tempering while not forgetting ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ not forgetting to collect feedback—

"The initiation of ’Beng Fist’ resembles a tabby cat climbing a tree, while its landing mimics a tabby cat pouncing on a mouse, the initiation embodies the cutting leg force, and the landing embodies the stamping force."

"Half-step Beng Fist!"

"The left foot remains forward, punching forward with a pad step without changing steps, hence the name ’Half-step Beng Fist.’"

"I gained inspiration from Guangling County’s ’Six Harmonies Fist’ Grandmaster Shang Yunsheng’s ’Half-step Cutting Fist’ many decades ago. After Grandmaster Shang Yunsheng achieved mastery, he was imprisoned and detained in a death cell, persisting in practicing his mentor Chen Zijiang’s ’Chuan Bu Jie Fist.’ While shackled and in a cramped prison cell, he adapted based on his constraints, practicing ’Half-step Cutting Fist,’ utilizing the limitation imposed by leg shackles, moving his front leg half a step forward, leading to the innovation of ’Half-step Cutting Fist.’"

"Inspired by this, I altered ’Cutting Fist’ to ’Beng Fist.’ Despite being half-step, it resulted in unexpected power."

"Beng Fist moves with the center intact, with outstretched hands like arrows charging forward; liver energy drives the power, with all five bows launching together to complete the Six Harmonies."

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"This is ’Beng Fist,’ and this is ’Half-step Beng Fist’!"

Yan Chuan completed two sets of ’Beng Fist’ and two rounds of bone tempering. His Qi and blood declined to a point where continuation was impossible—

Bone Training!

Truly difficult!
