Chapter 185: Chapter 166: The Civet Practices Martial Arts, Starting with the Tiger Form Eight Skills!

"Brother Yan, you have great talent!"

Wang Zhengyi watched as Yan Chuan passed on his newly created secret martial arts techniques to Su Ye, Yu Jinpeng, and others. It was then that he realized these techniques weren’t created on a whim or with sudden inspiration but were meticulously tailored.

This was like a writing assignment with an additional layer of difficulty.

Wang Zhengyi was full of admiration.

Yan Chuan smiled, "This is a minor pursuit; one’s own strength is the fundamental."

The starting point for creating each secret martial arts technique was not for Yu Jinpeng and others, nor for the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ but for—

"Experience!"

...

[Experience: 10010]

...

"Another ten thousand!"

Yan Chuan returned to his room, opened the panel, beaming with joy.

A month ago, when Yan Chuan created ’Xingyi Boxing’ at Suanzao Mountain, his ’experience’ broke ten thousand for the first time. After that, when Yan Chuan upgraded "Derivation Skill," the experience was cleared.

After creating ’Xingyi Boxing’ and upgrading "Derivation Skill," Yan Chuan cultivated for ten days at Suanzao Mountain to stabilize his realm and tried bone tempering.

Ten days later, he entered the Mountain and Sea Realm with Wang Kuan and others and, after his defeat at Woniu Mountain, continued training there for another three days.

Only after that did he travel with Wang Zhengyi and Huo Zhen to Nanxiong City—

Ten days on the way.

Eight days of staying.

Altogether, it was exactly one month.

Now.

It was already the eighteenth of the first month.

Thanks to one successful ’Task Four’ after another, ’experience’ easily exceeded ten thousand.

"Which one should I upgrade next?"

Yan Chuan hesitated briefly between "Mutual Teaching and Learning" and "Treasure Rock"—

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level One): Your explanations will enhance listeners’ comprehension efficiency by 50%, and listeners’ understanding and thoughts will be fed back to you, granting you corresponding ’experience’.]

["Treasure Rock" (Level One): You can upgrade item levels by ’Spiritual’, nurturing treasures. Currently, the number of items that can be upgraded: 2.]

...

Both have their advantages.

’Spiritual’ can upgrade ’miracle items’. Ever since Yan Chuan awakened ’Purple Mist Palace,’ from Du Hanfeng to Wu Qi, then to Wen Wu and Yuan Shicai, to White Rock Shuang Tu, then the three major night limits breakthroughs at Suanzao Mountain, without the many treasures strengthened by "Treasure Rock," especially the ’Golden Silkworm Silk Armor,’ he would have died countless times.

"Treasure Rock," renowned for its wartime exploits!

Yan Chuan now suffers from having only two enhancement slots and is further troubled by miracle items being unable to break through level 10. If "Treasure Rock" could be upgraded, perhaps the enhancement slots would increase, and the levels of miracle items could also rise. These are undeniable benefits, combining them with the tens of thousands of ’Spiritual’ in Yan Chuan’s stock would immediately form combat power and increase combat power.

For instance, at Woniu Mountain, where the stationed Du Head of the Black Armor Army had a fourth-grade limit-breaking, and the rare alien beast ’tiger cat’ hiding in the mine, after the breakthrough of "Treasure Rock," Yan Chuan might be able to handle them easily.

This is an ’external path protection,’ immediate impact!

As for "Mutual Teaching and Learning," its enhancement of Yan Chuan’s strength is much more gradual, requiring time and valuing the occasion. Still, "Mutual Teaching and Learning" aids in enhancing Yan Chuan’s martial arts accomplishments, representing real martial arts realms, incomparable to external things.

"Treasure Rock!"

"Mutual Teaching and Learning!"

"Both have their strengths!"

Yan Chuan hesitated for a moment and then suddenly smiled, "After upgrading ’Derivation Skill,’ I can accumulate enough experience in just one month. Why bother hesitating?"

With a broadened mind.

Yan Chuan made his decision—

"Upgrade!"

"Mutual Teaching and Learning!"

Currently, he was in Nanxiong City, establishing this Divine Doctor Valley. Guiding the martial artists of Nanxiong City while enhancing himself, with the upgrade of "Mutual Teaching and Learning," Yan Chuan would gain even more.

By the return journey in February, ’experience’ should break through ten thousand once again; upgrading "Treasure Rock" by then and passing through Woniu Mountain might also help him tackle the alien beast ’tiger cat’ there.

None of it would be wasted!

"That’s the one!"

Experience consumed!

Decisively upgrade!

...

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level Two): Your explanations will enhance listeners’ comprehension efficiency by 75%, and listeners’ understanding and thoughts will be fed back to you, granting you corresponding ’experience’.]

(To upgrade to the next level, 1,000,000 experience points are needed.)

...

[Experience: Each 1 point can enhance one’s martial training focus for a quarter-hour, greatly accelerating one’s cultivation progress. Each 100 points can enhance a listener’s martial training focus for a quarter-hour.]

(Current daily cap for ’experience’ acquisition: 100)

...

"’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ associated with ’experience,’ as the former upgrades, so does the latter!"

Yan Chuan was pleasantly surprised.

With the upgrade of "Mutual Teaching and Learning," comprehension efficiency increased from 50% to 75%, and the daily ’experience’ obtainable increased from 10 to 100 points. The most delightful part was——

"Previously, ’experience’ was solely for personal use!"

"Now, ’experience’ can be used for others!"

Although using it for others consumes a hundredfold of one’s own, it isn’t just ’self-sacrifice’ or ’self-loss for others’ gain’: "I have "Mutual Teaching and Learning." By enhancing a listener’s focus through ’experience,’ I can receive even more feedback."

Like Zang Qi, who previously practiced the ’Fire Dragon Fist.’

When Yan Chuan guided him, if he used ’experience’ to enhance Zang Qi’s focus, bringing him into a state of absolute focus, and then ’teaching’, the feedback Yan Chuan would receive, his grasp on ’Fire Dragon Fist’, would surely be faster, maybe even reaching the Fifth Realm in just one battle.

"’Experience’ aiding others?"

"No, no, no!"

"This is the wonderful art of ’stealth learning.’"

"From this day forth, I’m not just the ’male version of Wang Yu Yan,’ but also ’Gusu Murong Family’!"

"’Return the favor with their way’."

"Brilliant!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

Yan Chuan laughed heartily, overjoyed.

...

"In the past few days, we’ve discussed the practices of hand training, step training, essence refining, and intent training in ’Xingyi Boxing’."

"Today, we talk about ’training endings’."

Within the Divine Doctor Valley, Yan Chuan began to teach ’Xingyi Boxing.’ This was his daily morning practice, from the first light of dawn to when the sun was high, continuously speaking, practicing nonstop.

Today, it had reached the practice of ’training endings.’

In the valley.

In the courtyard.

Yu Jinpeng, Zhong Hui, and others were all listening to the lecture.

Wang Zhengyi and Huo Zhen were also present.

Jian Rong and Shao Yancong also attended.

Moreover.

There were youths from Nanxiong City, like the young swordsman Fan Zhong, like the irritable elder brother Zang Qi, and several martial artists, approximately ten individuals. Most of them were grassroots martial artists from Nanxiong City, with neither family backing nor sect inheritance, practicing a bit of martial arts learned from who knows where, diligently honing their skills. Once they achieved a minimal level, they sought out additional martial arts techniques from various channels for further practice.

Over time, they gained negligible skills.

From Yan Chuan’s perspective now, these individuals weren’t strong. Apart from a few, most were at the level of Guangling Academy elites or even ordinary research students.

However, considering their status as ’grassroots,’ they had indeed been sifted out from the masses. The true ’grassroots’ had long been eliminated, either returning to farming or labor, or meeting a violent death in the wild.

In view of life and death!

These individuals were giving their all.

Now, in the Divine Doctor Valley, Yan Chuan widely disseminated martial arts, disregarding background. To these people, it was like manna from heaven, and they cherished it immensely.

Unafraid of the audience, Yan Chuan started teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’—

"What is ’training endings’?"

"Firstly, we must clarify, what are ’endings’? In my ’Xingyi Boxing,’ the term refers to the extremities of the body’s blood, flesh, sinew, and bone, collectively called the ’four endings’."

"Hair is the blood’s ending, the tongue is the flesh’s ending, nails are the sinew’s ending, and teeth are the bone’s ending."

"The practice of ’training endings’ is essentially practicing the ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’. This ’training’ entails both ’tempering’ and ’application’."

"It’s often said, ’angry hair stands on end, tiger whiskers bristle’, referring to one’s outward expression under extreme rage. But in boxing principles, it emphasizes ’as the heart quivers, the four endings unite, and inner strength emerges’."

"The opening and closing of pores can facilitate smooth blood circulation and abundant strength; the tongue touching the palate can generate saliva and keep one grounded, not parched; clenching fingers and toes can channel qi into the sinews and empower the limbs; clamping the teeth can connect the spirit to the bones, resulting in a fortified body and forceful strength."

"Utilizing the four endings, a person may transcend their usual state."

"While practicing, one must achieve hair ready to pierce the crown, tongue poised to pierce teeth, nails set to penetrate bones, teeth set to sever tendons, bearing the might to push mountains and overturn seas, possessing the ferocity to swallow wolves and engulf tigers, the four endings united, qi concentrated and strength solidified, with a steady lower body and valiant exterior, daunting opponents."

"It’s difficult to grasp through mere speech."

"Let’s take ’Tiger Form’ from the ’Twelve Forms’ as an example."

"In the ’Tiger Form Eight Skills,’ the first move is ’Tiger Pounce,’ with a mind like gunpowder and fists like bullets, a spark of intuition, and no bird can escape. This move emphasizes ’speed’."

"How to achieve ’speed’?"

"How to balance ’tiger form’s’ ’majestic’ and ’ferocious’ attributes while being ’speedy’?"

"At this point, it’s necessary to utilize the ’four endings’."

"The body as a bowstring, the hand as an arrow, a twang of the string, and the bird falls—a display of wonders!"

"The four endings!"

"Move like this!"

"Train like this!"

...

On the open ground, Yan Chuan was like a tiger—

Tiger Pounce, Tiger Support, Tiger Lean, Tiger Claw, Tiger Head Hugging, Tiger Leaping Mountain, Tiger Swinging Tail, Tiger Claw Kicking!

These are the ’Tiger Form Eight Skills’!

Also one of the essences of the ’Tiger Form Boxing’ within ’Xingyi Boxing’s’ ’Twelve Forms,’ specializing in the art of ’Tiger Pounce,’ also known as ’Tiger Pounce Complete Form.’

Yan Chuan combined ’training endings’ to perform the ’Tiger Pounce Complete Form,’ exuding a tiger’s majesty and ferocity.

"Meow~"

"Roar~" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

With angry eyes and a stiff neck, he suddenly noticed outside the courtyard a raccoon cat leaping from a tree. With pounces and leaps, it was clearly imitating Yan Chuan, practicing the ’Tiger Form Eight Skills.’

This raccoon cat, it’s familiar to Yan Chuan. It often wandered around in the Divine Doctor Valley. Yan Chuan frequently saw it during martial arts instruction, previously paying no mind, but this time, a sudden epiphany struck Yan Chuan—

"Experience!"

’Experience’ was intangible, through the mysterious connection formed by "Mutual Teaching and Learning," it landed on the raccoon cat’s head. With 100 experience points consumed, the raccoon cat’s expression instantly brightened, entering an extremely focused state, fixated on Yan Chuan’s teachings, dedicated to practicing the ’Tiger Form Eight Skills.’

Imitate the tiger, follow the movements!

The raccoon cat practiced the tiger form!

There was an indescribable fluidity, with the ’Tiger Form Eight Skills’ on the raccoon cat, it seemed to manifest many novel changes.

"Tiger Form!"

"Tiger Form Boxing!"

"Tiger Pounce Complete Form!"

While performing, Yan Chuan observed, simultaneously receiving feedback from the raccoon cat practicing boxing, indistinct yet profound, delicate yet fascinating.

Without realizing it.

Progress was being made.

Until——

Your ’Tiger Form Eight Skills’ has received an upgrade, Fifth Realm of Mastery → Sixth Realm Refining Fire.

Xingyi Boxing!

Twelve Forms!

Tiger Form Boxing!

Tiger Form Eight Skills!

First to break into the Sixth Realm!

"Sixth Realm Tiger Form!"

Yan Chuan’s eyes sparkled, realizing that combined with the newly upgraded "Mutual Teaching and Learning" and ’experience,’ he seemed to have discovered the fastest and most effective method to enhance ’Xingyi Boxing,’ especially the ’Twelve Forms’ in the shortest period!
