Chapter 281: Chapter 224: Wave Riding Micro Steps, Research and Development Complete! Swift as a Flying Duck, Evasive as a Deity! [Seeking Monthly Pass at Month’s End!]

Yan Chuan’s mouth blossoms like a lotus, as he simultaneously instructs Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan, showing off in public, as if engaged in Left and Right Mutual Combat.

A fierce duel, hard to distinguish a winner.

Wang Zhengyi’s boxing technique continuously improves, and his spear skills become even more exquisite.

Fu Yunzhan’s movement technique is as elusive as a ghost, and his swordsmanship becomes more refined.

Spear thrust meets sword strike!

How could it be anything but spectacular!

Yan Chuan provides guidance, Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan only feel their own and their opponent’s strength constantly advancing, seemingly endless.

Such a fierce battle.

The fight remained unresolved for two hours.

Yan Chuan’s words flow like an unstoppable river.

The two keep dismantling each other’s moves non-stop.

Clash of techniques!

Clash of Qi Power!

It’s truly a meeting of great talents.

Thus, all three remain busy until Yan Chuan’s guidance is nearly exhausted, and Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan both realize they have not made significant progress for a long time.

Yan Chuan stops speaking, switching to focused explanations.

Wang Zhengyi and Fu Yunzhan, understanding each other, simultaneously up their intensity—

Boom boom boom!

Wang Zhengyi’s long spear shatters the earth!

Swish swish swish!

Fu Yunzhan’s Sword Qi splits the sky!

In the blink of an hour, the two are out of options, still unable to defeat one another.

At this moment.

Wang Zhengyi finally stops waiting, reaching into his bosom, triggering the ’Mirage Pearl’, immediately a thick mist sweeps over, covering the vast arena.

In the thick mist, even from outside, it is as if blind, a mass of fog where one cannot see their own fingers.

Spears clashing!

Swords whistling!

Outside, nothing can be seen, only the vague sounds of fierce fighting can be heard from within.

As Yan Chuan predicted, Wang Zhengyi’s ’Mirage Pearl’ reveals, and all the spectators can do is stare blankly.

"When the mist rises from Wang Zhengyi’s Mirage Pearl, the opponent is like trapped in a mirage, unable to distinguish reality from illusion, but Wang Zhengyi can."

"In this, Wang Zhengyi has the home advantage, unaffected, but Fu Yunzhan is at a loss. He excels in movement technique and swordsmanship, known for his speed and cunning, but in the mist, every move is detected by Wang Zhengyi, yet he cannot perceive Wang Zhengyi’s movements."

"If Fu Yunzhan has no counter strategy, losing is only a matter of time."

As if ’word follows the law’.

Just as Yan Chuan finishes speaking, from within the mist a ’dragon’s roar’ is heard, followed by a huge sound, amidst the booming, Fu Yunzhan’s treasure sword resonates, while his voice peaks—

"I concede!"

Sound arises!

Dragon’s roar ceases!

Before long, the thick mist on stage dissipates.

At this moment, the surrounding audience finally sees that the stage is already in ruins, four or five palm-sized pits, the depth of a small leg, raising billowing dust, Fu Yunzhan is kneeling with a sword, his entire clothing tattered, hair disheveled, body trembling and shivering, looking utterly tragic.

And then, looking at Wang Zhengyi.

Wang Zhengyi is standing, but his clothes are similarly in tatters, blood-stained, blood flowing, obviously not Fu Yunzhan’s, but Wang Zhengyi’s own.

A long spear pierces the ground far behind him.

Seeing this scene, one cannot imagine what exactly happened within the mist of the ’Mirage Pearl.’

But ultimately, a victor is decided.

This battle—

"Wang Zhengyi’s team wins!"

...

Yan Chuan!

Wang Zhengyi!

Both advance to the finals.

Three days later, they will compete for the championship on March 18th, a single battle to determine the outcome.

"In three days, the Palace Master will duel with Wang Zhengyi. In these days you must focus on preparation and not waste Inner Strength on us sisters."

Zhou Wen looks at Yan Chuan, worried about affecting Yan Chuan’s performance in the finals.

At this time.

In the small courtyard, inside the house.

Yan Chuan is seated in the middle, surrounded by the four sisters Zhou Yan, Zhou Jiao, Zhou Hui, and Zhou Hao, also seated cross-legged, with Zhou Yan and Zhou Hao still unconscious, Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui temporarily unable to get out of bed, but compared to the situation after the group stage that day, much improved, at least able to sit on the bed and feed themselves with both hands.

Zhou Jiao and Zhou Hui are slowly recovering.

But Zhou Yan and Zhou Hao’s condition still worsen little by little, even after taking Wang Zhengyi’s ’Wood Teeth Crystal’, they still need Yan Chuan to use the ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’ daily for stability, which takes a toll on Yan Chuan.

Among the five sisters, the relatively uninjured Zhou Wen sees all this in Yan Chuan, knowing the importance of the battle on March 18th, she wants Yan Chuan to rest for three days, adjust for three days, and prepare actively for the battle.

However—

"There’s no need!"

Yan Chuan stops cultivating, wipes the sweat from his forehead, signaling Zhou Wen to help the four sisters lie down comfortably, he smiles: "Healing injuries doesn’t consume me."

The key to the battle with Wang Zhengyi does not lie in such minor exertion of Power.

To defeat him, the first thing to address is Wang Zhengyi’s ’Mirage Pearl’!

Fortunately, Yan Chuan had witnessed this Mirage Pearl early on and has been preparing.

With the conclusion of the semifinals and the impending second bout with Wang Zhengyi, Yan Chuan’s constant research and development of two Martial Arts, narrowly and diligently, is finally complete.

One of them is precisely—

"Wave Riding Micro Steps!"

...

[Task Two]

[R&D Project Name: Wave Riding Micro Steps (Difficulty: Geng★★★)]

[Inspiration: 100]

[Upon completion, ’Experience +150000’, ’Spiritual +150000’ can be obtained.]

"Wave Riding Micro Steps, silk stockings brush dust. Shifting and flowing, gleaming radiant face. Words unsaid, Qi like orchids’ fragrance. Graceful charm that makes me forget to eat.

"Wave Riding Micro Steps" is an extremely superior Qinggong, based on the Yijing Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four Trigrams. The practitioner moves through Gua Xiang positions in a specific sequence, forming a large circle from the first step to the last.
