The competition schedule and rules have been discussed.
Shao Yancong handed a docunt to Yan Chuan: "Here is the catalog and introduction of the widely spread boxing techniques from the nine academies that you requested, and the secret manuals have all been collected. Additionally, I have gathered a list of participants for this ’Jian Province Competition.’ The information is as detailed as possible, down to the substitutes. Take a look, know your adversary, and be prepared."
"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Shao!"
Yan Chuan was pleasantly surprised.
These materials were incredibly helpful to him.
Back in Guangling City, during the Martial Arts Competition, Yan Chuan explained while fighting, and his gains were imnse. But that was based on his previous hosting of the ’Advanced Study Hall,’ where he had so understanding and mastery of the Eighteen Families of Widespread Boxing Techniques of Guangling Academy.
But now, with the stage expanding to the entire Jian Province, Yan Chuan’s knowledge was insufficient.
Just like in the S tournant.
How could one comntate without understanding each participating team?
Now with these materials as a foundation, this ti at the ’Jian Province Competition,’ the effect of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" will surely be maximized.
But there’s still one problem—
"The ’Jian Province Competition’ is far more formal than the ’Guangling City Martial Arts Competition.’ I’m afraid they won’t allow my pointing and nudging."
"I want to comntate, and it’s best to go through official channels."
Yan Chuan looked at Shao Yancong, with one request: "I must trouble Elder Shao with one more thing—"
...
That morning, Yan Chuan didn’t stay long at the Taikang Academy residence. After chatting with Shao Yancong and Du Zhenzong, he went directly to the ’Hundred Flower Palace’ residence to find the group of experts under his command in na.
"At the beginning of the year, I have been preparing for the ’Jian Province Competition’ and the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ and couldn’t attend to the Hundred Flower Palace. I ask for your understanding."
Yan Chuan first apologized upon seeing them, then took out dozens of secret manuals to distribute to everyone, saying, "This is the ’Cloud Whale Skill,’ a Divine Skill dedicated to cultivating Qi and blood. Here is one of the ’Twelve Main Chapters,’ focusing on cultivating the ’Foot Jueyin Liver ridian’ among the ’Twelve Main ridians.’ Once mastered, Qi and blood will double, greatly benefiting both combat and cultivation. The benefits need not be elaborated. Everyone can take it back, and those interested may cultivate it, but it should not be passed on outside."
"Cloud Whale Skill?"
"Just one of the ’Twelve Main Chapters,’ cultivating just one ridian can increase Qi and blood by even double!"
"Palace Master!"
"If all ’Twelve Main ridians’ are cultivated, how much Qi and blood can be increased?"
’Huayu’ Duan Jiu, most familiar with Yan Chuan, was a bit astonished.
Everyone also looked at Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan smiled and said, "If the entire ’Cloud Whale Skill’ is cultivated and all ’Twelve Main ridians’ are mastered, one’s Qi and blood can reach thirteen tis their current level. With such abundant Qi and blood, it’s hard to find an opponent in the world."
"Hiss!"
Everyone gasped in amazent at the news.
They were all Martial Artists and experts, naturally aware of the importance of ’Qi and blood’ to Martial Artists. It is no exaggeration to say that ’Qi and blood’ is considered the foundation of ’Martial Arts.’ For significant progress in Martial Arts, ’Qi and blood’ is crucial and indispensable.
Thirteen tis the Qi and blood?
That’s too exaggerated!
’A Cloud of Smoke’ Wang Lan quickly asked, "Does the Palace Master have the complete ’Cloud Whale Skill’ in hand?"
"Certainly, I do."
Yan Chuan didn’t hide it, nor fear others being envious, and he further candidly shared: "Honestly, the reason I am widely spreading the ’Cloud Whale Skill’ is partly because we are all one family, and I hope for the Hundred Flowers to bloom in Jianghu. But more importantly, the cultivation difficulty of the ’Cloud Whale Skill’ is so high. Each ridian and each acupoint is a difficult hurdle. It’s hard for to overco them alone, so I need everyone to cultivate together, to study and discuss together, thus promoting each other’s progress. Only then can I hope to master this skill."
So that’s how it is!
The realization dawned on everyone, explaining why Yan Chuan suddenly shared such a Divine Skill. Now it all made sense.
It’s likely not just the ’Cloud Whale Skill,’ but also ’Xingyi Boxing’ that the Master of Hundred Flower Palace might be considering with the sa intention.
But it’s unimportant.
No harm, no foul!
No matter what Yan Chuan’s motives were for widely spreading the ’Cloud Whale Skill’ and ’Xingyi Boxing,’ at least they were the beneficiaries, and that’s enough.
’Plum Blossom Sword’ Luo Yi perceptively sensed the implication, "Does the Palace Master an that it’s not just the ’Foot Jueyin Liver ridian,’ but very possibly the entire ’Cloud Whale Skill’ will be taught?"
"Of course!"
Yan Chuan nodded.
’Flying Fox’ Zhou Bin promptly asked, "How can we learn the other Chapters?"
Even with just the ’Foot Jueyin Liver ridian,’ it was quite impressive to double one’s Qi and blood, making it exceedingly rare in Great Yan and Jianghu.
But compared to the thirteenfold Qi and blood of the complete ’Cloud Whale Skill,’ cultivating just one ridian seems too lacking.
If it can be learned, one certainly wants to learn it all.
Soone asked.
Yan Chuan answered: "To learn the complete ’Cloud Whale Skill,’ it’s simple yet not simple. I will set aside two days each month in the Hundred Flower Palace for everyone to gather and exchange on the ’Cloud Whale Skill.’ Once soone masters the first Chapter, I will imdiately release the second Chapter. Including myself, if I master the first Chapter, I will release the second Chapter as well."
It sounds simple, right?
But it isn’t!
"The difficulty level of cultivating the ’Cloud Whale Skill’ will be clear once you get started. The first ’Cloud Whale Skill Exchange’ in Hundred Flower Palace is scheduled for the last two days of the ’Jian Province Competition’, on the 22nd and 23rd of next month. I hope you can persist for a month."
Yan Chuan smiled, distributing the ’Cloud Whale Skill·Foot Jueyin Liver ridian Chapter.’
...
Ti flew by.
It was the eve of the ’Jian Province Competition.’
This night.
Cheng Fengxiao arrived.
...
"Master!"
Yan Chuan welcod Cheng Fengxiao into the room.
Once the master and disciple were seated.
