Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 184 - 165: 8 Secret Martial Arts! Tailored!

"Master Zang, thank you for your guidance. Master Zang, take care."

"Elder Jian, Elder Shao, please wait a moment."

Yan Chuan clasped his hands to bid farewell to "Fire Refining Golden Pill" Zang Qi, then cupped his fists apologetically to Jian Rong and Shao Yancong, and hurriedly turned back inside to write feverishly.

"What’s this—"

Jian Rong and Shao Yancong almost simultaneously recalled that not long ago, at the Dragon Tiger Peak of Suanzao Mountain, it seemed Yan Chuan had similarly created "Xingyi Boxing," comprehending the "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound" and thereby breaking the limit of Qi and Blood.

Could it be!

This time—

The hearts of the two elders burned.

Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang also felt a surge of heat. "Could Master be creating another Invincible Boxing Skill?!"

Unfortunately, they were overthinking it.

"Not so!"

Wang Zhengyi shook his head, saying, "Brother Yan’s talent is unparalleled. On the way to Nanxiong City, he consecutively created nineteen different martial arts in ten days. Over seven days in Nanxiong City, he has created ten more martial arts."

He pointed to over twenty alien martial artists from Nanxiong City scattered in the valley, either sitting or lying, and explained to the two elders, "These people stay in Divine Doctor Valley mainly because they can freely browse the martial arts Yan Chuan has created and receive his guidance. They are reluctant to leave, which brings popularity to the valley."

"Self-created martial arts?" Shao Yancong frowned.

"Twenty-nine?" Jian Rong queried Wang Zhengyi, "I’ve heard that Palace Master Yan once created over twenty ’Absolute Skills’ at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, with no barriers to cultivation, even farmers could practice."

She suspected Yan Chuan had created ’Absolute Skills’!

But that wasn’t the case.

"Elder Jian, what Brother Yan created two days ago is the ’Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stone Saber Technique.’ Each form has three or four changes, totaling over forty variations. The inner strength operation emphasizes speed, each move faster than the last. If you can execute up to the tenth form, it’s already a rare speed saber in the world. If you can perform all thirteen forms, the final cut is extremely fast, beyond any mortal saber skill!"

Wang Zhengyi had copied a version of the saber manual and handed it to Jian Rong.

"Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stone!"

Jian Rong flipped through it casually, seeing that it integrated boxing techniques, boxing principles, saber skills, and inner strength operation methods, using boxing as the foundation. The saber skill’s power wasn’t immediately discernible, but it seemed sophisticated, possibly comparable to the Secret Martial Saber Skills she had encountered.

Jian Rong was curious about how powerful this saber skill would be when cultivated and executed.

Just then—

"Elder Jian, look quickly."

Wang Zhengyi pointed to a swordsman and said urgently, "This man is called ’Fan Zhong,’ one of the earliest martial artists to arrive at Divine Doctor Valley. He learned the ’Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stone’ from Brother Yan and has been studying diligently. He’s practicing the saber again now."

Everyone looked over to see the swordsman step into the open space, saber in hand. Suddenly, his right wrist vibrated sharply, and he slashed three times in succession, as fast as lightning, making whooshing sounds.

"Such a fast saber!"

Yu Jinpeng, Zhong Hui, and others were amazed.

Jian Rong and Shao Yancong also grew serious.

The swordsman Fan Zhong wielded the saber in a seemingly chaotic manner, yet Jian Rong and Shao Yancong could discern every move clearly. With each slash, cut, and thrust, he was both fierce and precise, all united by the essence of ’speed.’

Fast from start to finish!

However, keen observers could still see—

"Fan Zhong reached his limit by the ninth form. While he knows the subsequent techniques, they lack spirit. The saber speed fails to increase, only offering more variations but not significantly more power than the first nine forms."

"Even so, for him to master a Secret Martial Saber Skill to this level in just a few days is remarkable talent, reason enough for Brother Yan to pay special attention and personally guide him over the past few days."

Wang Zhengyi marveled at Fan Zhong. Seemingly young, in his early twenties, Fan Zhong was nearing the limit of his Qi and Blood. At Guangling Academy, he was considered a first-tier elite, on the cusp of breaking the limit. Previously held back by a lack of powerful techniques, over the past few days, besides the ’Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stone,’ Fan Zhong had also been listening to Yan Chuan’s lectures on various boxing techniques, progressing rapidly, with an implicit hope of breaking the limit.

"Perhaps."

"Once he comprehends the essence of the ’Flying Sand and Stone’ tenth form, he may break the limit!"

Hope glimmered in Wang Zhengyi’s eyes.

"Saber skills!"

"Breaking the limit!"

Su Ye’s eyes shone brightly. He dreamed of breaking limits. Although he had the fortunate chance to prematurely gain a set of limit-breaking bones, significantly boosting his power and making him invincible below the limit-breaking level, the cost was high. He was mocked for his buck teeth and hunched back, appearances aside, and his body—

’Sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’ were originally one.

A normal limit-breaking level martial artist, though they might emphasize bone training, would enhance sinew, muscle, and skin under the nourishment of Qi and Blood, maintaining balance to support an increasingly strong skeleton.

But not Su Ye. His ’limit-breaking bones’ were harshly taxing without reaching limit-breaking standards, consuming Qi and Blood rapidly, delaying his achievement of the Qi and Blood limit.

The stronger the bones!

The harsher the torment!

No one wanted to break the limits more than Su Ye.

Following Yan Chuan, it seemed—

"There is hope to break the limit!"

Su Ye felt a fire in his heart!

Shao Yancong knew this disciple’s intentions well. Seeing Su Ye’s expression change, he tactfully asked, "Are the twenty-nine martial arts Professor Yan created recently all on the level of the ’Flying Sand and Stone Saber Technique’?"

"No."

Wang Zhengyi shook his head for the third time but smiled this time, "There are also those on the level of the ’Tiger Crane Double Forms,’ making up over half. The rest are of the Secret Martial level, about seven."

Seven Secret Martial arts?

That’s outrageous!

But before Shao Yancong could express his shock, Huo Zhen pointed at Yan Chuan, who was writing feverishly inside, and laughed to the group, "Perhaps more than seven!"

...

Indeed not just seven!

Inside the room.

The eighth Secret Martial art took shape under Yan Chuan’s pen—

[Task Four]

[Research Project Name: Heart-shattering Palm (Difficulty: Ren★★★★)]

[Inspiration: 100]

[Completing the task rewards ’Experience +800’, ’Spiritual +800’.]

...

"Combining ’Six Sand Palm’ with ’Four Gates Fist,’ and various boxing techniques in Nanxiong City’s internal strength utilization, with Bone Energy from limit-breaking Bone Training as the foundation, mastering ’Heart-shattering Palm’ could achieve the level of Qingcheng Sect’s ’Heart-shattering Palm’ in ’Swordsmen’ where one palm shatters the heart into eight pieces!"

Piercing, intense, cruel, focused on Dark Force, focused on devastation!

This is the eighth Secret Martial art—

Heart-shattering Palm!

...

"’Heart-shattering Palm’ is said to be the eighth Secret Martial art, but only in the past half-month. Before that, Palace Master Yan had also created ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist,’ ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist,’ ’Divine Movement Transformation,’ ’Five Animals Qigong,’ ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear,’ ’Flowers Mistake Fist,’ and ’Xingyi Boxing.’ When calculated precisely, Heart-shattering Palm should be the fifteenth Secret Martial art created by Palace Master Yan!"

Jian Rong had seen Yan Chuan’s newly created ’Heart-shattering Palm’ and felt deeply moved, utterly shocked.

Secret Martial arts are rare!

The number of Secret Martial arts Yan Chuan created alone was almost comparable to the entire Guangling Academy.

Jian Rong found it hard to believe.

Yan Chuan smiled slightly, not correcting Jian Rong. Actually, ’Heart-shattering Palm’ wasn’t the fifteenth Secret Martial art; she had missed the ’Qiankun Ring,’ ’Little Yan Flying Knife,’ and ’Mixed Element Skill.’

In terms of Secret Martial art quantity, Yan Chuan alone had equaled Guangling Academy.

...

"Heart-shattering Palm, Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stone, Eighteen Methods of Leveling Stick, Shaking Mountain Thirty Palm, Wind Thunder Palm, Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber, Mysterious Trace Boxing, Sky Flipping Palm."

"Eight Secret Martial arts—"

"Four hand techniques, two saber techniques, one boxing technique, one staff technique."

"These Secret Martial arts are different from the eighteen widespread boxing techniques of Guangling Academy or the Eight Gates Secret Martial Fist Techniques of Taikang Academy, as well as from my ’Xingyi Boxing’ and the previous ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ and ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist,’ they focus more on the use of Inner Strength, more akin to ’Shadowless Kick’ and ’Butterfly Flower’ as Great Success Skills, emphasizing ’strike’ rather than ’train.’"

In Divine Doctor Valley, Yan Chuan advised Yu Jinpeng, Zhong Hui, and others, guiding them one by one.

First was Su Ye—

"You possess premature limit-breaking bones, containing Bone Energy, the most suitable for practicing the ’Heart-shattering Palm.’ Before the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ if you master this ’Heart-shattering Palm,’ even against someone who breaks the limit, you have the hope to win."

Heart-shattering Palm!

With Bone Energy as the foundation!

Below the limit-breaking level, no one is more suitable than Su Ye. This Secret Martial hand technique was specifically developed by Yan Chuan for Su Ye, incorporating moves from Su Ye and Shao Yancong’s ’Four Gates Fist,’ tailored perfectly.

"No wonder!"

Shao Yancong flipped through the ’Heart-shattering Palm’ manual, recognizing much of the essence of the ’Four Gates Fist’ within.

He previously thought it was a coincidence; now he realized it was Yan Chuan’s intention.

Yan Chuan was in the Mountain and Sea Realm, in Nanxiong City, but hadn’t neglected the upcoming ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ preparing early on. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Not just the ’Heart-shattering Palm,’ but the other Secret Martial arts might be intended for the others."

Shao Yancong speculated internally.

His speculation was correct.

After Su Ye.

Yan Chuan looked at Yu Jinpeng—

"Mysterious Trace Boxing is derived from ’Luo’s Secret Sect Boxing’ and my ’Cheng Family Boxing,’ embodying speed, sniping, concealment, hardness and softness, illusion and reality, changes, and more traits."

"Extensive variations in strength and technique—"

"Ming Energy, Dark Force, Cross Force, Opening and Closing Force, Shaking and Releasing Force, Spiral Force!"

"Transforming from clumsy to skillful, rigidity to flexibility!"

"Adhering, engaging, adhering, resisting, pushing, snapping, flicking, displacing, sweeping, lifting, hooking, entwining, striking, blocking, fending!"

"Emphasizing ’Whole Body Method’!"

"This is a thorough fighting boxing technique, attacking from the outset, with complex variations in moves and strength solely aimed at defeating the enemy. You have the Grandmaster foundation of ’Cheng Family Boxing,’ mastering this ’Mysterious Trace Boxing’ should allow you to fully display your boxing expertise."

Mysterious Trace Boxing!

Yu Jinpeng!
