Chapter 275: Chapter 221: Jian Province Top 8! Yan Chuan Ranked 1st!

"Round Four, Group A, Match Six—"

"Wendeng Academy team three wins!"

...

The qualifiers in Group A were fierce—

Chen Qiang and Niu Gu were severely injured.

Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui narrowly won the match, but due to their severe injuries, forced actions worsened their conditions by at least double, requiring a lengthy recovery process, increasing the difficulty of treatment.

However, they made it through!

Securing a spot in the Top Eight guarantees a prize of up to ten thousand taels, undoubtedly a windfall. More importantly, the qualification for the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ allows entry into the Top Eight, giving the Zhou Family Sisters eligibility to participate, offering a broad stage with great opportunities.

Of course, all this requires them to recover from their injuries.

Healing is not easy!

Yan Chuan carries a heavy burden on his shoulders.

...

Yan Chuan’s courtyard.

The five sisters of the Zhou Family—

Eldest sister Zhou Yan and youngest sister Zhou Hao are unconscious.

Second sister Zhou Jiao and fourth sister Zhou Hui are bedridden.

Third sister Zhou Wen staggered, unable to walk steadily.

The five sisters in great distress!

Wang Zhengyi visited the five and paid particular attention to Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui, who showed prowess on the stage today. Upon leaving, he looked at Yan Chuan with admiration: "With injuries like those, you still managed to coach them!"

Zhou Jiao’s right hand and arm were injured.

Zhou Hui’s inner strength could not be utilized.

Yet, under such circumstances, Yan Chuan taught each of them swordsmanship, enabling both women to defeat two opponents fully breaking the limit of Qi and Blood.

Remarkable!

Unbelievable!

Wang Zhengyi was curious: "Besides the Five Basic Sword Series, are you hiding other sword arts?"

Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui!

Today, they did not seem to use the Five Basic Sword Series.

They looked like it.

But it wasn’t.

At least not among the Five Basic Sword Series Yan Chuan had displayed earlier.

"Technically, yes."

Yan Chuan smiled and said, "Zhou Jiao’s right arm and hand can’t move, so I taught her an extreme sword art derived from the ’First Base Sword Series,’ called ’Unrivaled, First Extreme Sword.’ The sword moves are intricate and value inner strength. Zhou Jiao, after practicing it, can barely execute one move against one person given her condition."

Zhou Jiao!

Unrivaled, Ning’s One Sword!

As for Zhou Hui—

"It’s not ’Dai Sect How.’"

Yan Chuan shook his head: "What she used is called ’Mutual Destruction Sword Skill.’ As Brother Wang saw, Zhou Hui’s inner strength was insufficient, resorting to a life-for-life fighting style, risking everything for a chance at survival. This style is a desperate strategy. Even though I lent her my inner armor, the danger remained high. Fortunately, Niu Gu lost his composure, and Zhou Hui ultimately prevailed."

Mutual Destruction Sword Skill!

This sword skill originally belonged to the Quanzhen Swordsmanship, embodying the principle of ’mutual destruction.’ If an opponent is formidable, leaving one’s life in peril, this sword path becomes a last resort, with every move aggressively targeting the enemy’s vital points. Although superior in swordsmanship, it bears the same reckless spirit as a rogue.

Based on the sword theory from the Quanzhen Sect’s ’Mutual Destruction Sword Skill,’ Yan Chuan ingeniously combined the ’Break Sword Style’ and ’Breaking Saber Form’ from ’Dugu Nine Swords’ with this sword skill, developing a ’Special Supply Sword Skill’ for Zhou Hui. This sword skill proves unbeatable against Chen Qiang and Niu Gu.

But it only applies to these two and only in their present state. In a few months, when Chen Qiang and Niu Gu learn new tricks and evolve, the power of the ’Special Supply Sword Skill’ would greatly diminish.

What delighted Yan Chuan even more was that through this ’Special Supply Sword Skill,’ Zhou Hui’s encounter with Niu Gu led her to an epiphany, as her swordsmanship transcended ’Mutual Destruction Sword Skill’ and ’Special Supply Sword Skill,’ revisiting the source and understanding elements of the ’Break Sword Style’ and ’Breaking Saber Form’ within this sword theory.

Dugu Nine Swords!

Unmatched!

Just a glimpse of its essence could significantly enhance Zhou Hui’s swordsmanship mastery.

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

Once she recovers, her progress in swordsmanship and strength will surely give her a big surprise.

"By evaluating Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui’s conditions, aligning with Chen Qiang and Niu Gu’s martial styles, a ’Unrivaled’ set and a ’Special Supply Sword Skill’ can be custom-tailored!"

Wang Zhengyi was amazed.

Whenever he thought he fully grasped Yan Chuan’s capabilities, Yan Chuan would surprise him even more.

Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui!

Custom-tailored!

Their performance today was evident to all.

Wang Zhengyi was now increasingly eager: "How is the martial art Yan Brother is customizing for me?"

...

"Don’t rush, don’t rush."

"Good things are worth the wait."

After ’Yijinjing’ and ’Dugu Nine Swords’ were successively developed, Yan Chuan lacked only ’Wave Riding Micro Steps,’ freeing him to design a vigorous martial art to fully unleash Wang Zhengyi’s Qi Power.

But unfortunately—

The first slot available after ’Yijinjing’ was used by Yan Chuan to create a martial art to counter the ’Mirage Pearl’ that Wang Zhengyi possessed.

The Geng-level martial art, challenging to complete, occupied a task slot.

The second slot available after ’Dugu Nine Swords,’ Yan Chuan intended to develop a martial art for Wang Zhengyi, but then came the affair with the Zhou Sisters. Adding to the situation, Wang Zhengyi brought out the ’Wood Teeth Crystal’ to save Zhou Yan and Zhou Hao, compelling Yan Chuan to develop the ’One Yang Finger’ for rescue, also a Geng-level martial art, taking another slot.

Wang Zhengyi wants Yan Chuan to craft a martial art for him?

He probably doesn’t realize that if not for his two diversions, Yan Chuan might have started that process much earlier.
