Chapter 283: Chapter 225 New Mission: Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill! [Beginning of the month, asking for monthly pass!]

"Innate Skill" is on the agenda.

Regarding inner strength, the path is clear, with no other desires in the short term.

"From ’Mixed Element Skill’ to ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’, and then onto ’Innate Skill’ in the future, from Huashan to Quanzhen, my inner strength is pure and profound, already far surpassing my peers. In terms of utilizing inner strength, I should put in more effort."

A technique like "Dugu Nine Swords" is all about skill and doesn’t require high inner strength, meaning that having advanced inner power doesn’t significantly enhance "Dugu Nine Swords".

"My inner power grows more profound."

"My inner strength becomes increasingly robust."

Based on this, Yan Chuan needs one or two divine skills that can fully utilize his inner power and strength, in addition to "Dugu Nine Swords".

Many times, breaking through with force is the true path.

Not only him.

Wang Zhengyi has been waiting for his ’tailored’ skill. Given Wang Zhengyi’s situation, he also needs such a supreme skill.

Thus, after successfully developing "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and another supreme skill specifically designed to counter Wang Zhengyi’s "Mirage Pearl", Yan Chuan already had plans for the two open task slots.

The first: "Innate Skill".

The second—

...

"My inner strength is pure and robust."

"Wang Zhengyi’s divine power is unrivaled."

For such martial artists, many suitable martial arts exist—for example, the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", which is fierce and domineering.

For example, "Dragon Elephant Wisdom", which cultivates dragon elephant divine power.

For example, "Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill", which trains to become unbreakable.

For example, "Great Vajra Hand", "Great Vajra Finger", with fierce hand techniques and deadly finger techniques.

These are all divine skills renowned for their strength and divine power, logically suitable for Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi.

However, these divine skills—

"First, the grade is too high."

For example, "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" and "Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill" are at least ’Geng-level three stars’, on par with "Yijinjing" and "Wave Riding Micro Steps". If one were to develop them, it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Whether for Wang Zhengyi or himself, there is no immediate need.

"Secondly, the difficulty of cultivation is not small."

For example, "Great Vajra Hand", "Great Vajra Finger" or other skills among the Shaolin Sect’s seventy-two absolute skills, like "Great Vajra Palm", "Big Stone Breaking Hand", "Breaking Vow Blade Technique", "Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Skill", etc., are all forceful styles, with grades around ’Geng-level one star’ or ’Geng-level two stars’. Though less than "One Yang Finger", at most equal, the development difficulty is secondary, being within Yan Chuan’s acceptance range, but the cultivation difficulty is not small—

"To master Shaolin’s absolute skills, one must either have outstanding talent and comprehension, profound and unfathomable understanding of Buddhism, or inner strength that is divine, or undergo long-term practice, contemplation, and constant honing."

These are either mysterious or hard to achieve in the short term.

Divine skills are indeed divine skills, absolute skills are indeed absolute skills.

But they are not the most suitable for Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi in this situation.

"I drank over a thousand jin of Monkey Wine, having boundless strength."

"Wang Zhengyi, for some unknown reason, through some fortuitous encounter, has unrivaled divine power that continues to grow."

Based on this divine power.

Yan Chuan suddenly had an inspiration, discovering a divine skill that couldn’t be more appropriate.

"This is it!"

Yan Chuan immediately established a new task—

...

[Task Two]

[Development Project Name: Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill (Difficulty: Geng ★)]

[Inspiration: 0]

[Complete the task to receive ’Experience +50000’, ’Spiritual +50000’.]

...

"Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill!"

This is the signature absolute skill of the Tianzhu expert Nimo Star from "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The Buddhist scripture says: When Shakyamuni was the Crown Prince, one day he went out of the city, and an elephant blocked the way. The Crown Prince lifted the elephant by its foot and threw it into the sky, after three days it fell back to the ground, striking the earth and creating a deep valley, now called ’Elephant Throwing Valley.’

This is naturally a fable, fabricated by Buddhism and monks to describe the inconceivability of Buddhism.

But there are masters in Buddhism who independently researched and created or summarized and deduced this, eventually producing a "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill", which allows one to use immense power to throw objects, thus named.

This divine skill is divided into two parts, the upper part ’Power Training’, trains the ’Divine Power’ of ’Elephant Throwing’. As the saying goes, ’An able woman cannot cook without rice’, wanting to ’Throw an Elephant’, without strength, without divine power, is extremely difficult.

But having only brute force is also insufficient; what’s needed is the ’Skill’ to use divine power. It’s necessary to combine brute force with leverage, add skill to transform it into true ’Divine Power’.

Thus, the lower part of "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill" is ’Skill Training’, training the skills to integrate and unleash immense power, enabling one to throw ten-thousand-jin stones with thousand-jin force effortlessly.

If Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi practiced this "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill", few could match their brute strength.

This is it!

...

The task was newly established, and Yan Chuan glanced at the four current development tasks on the "Derivation Skill" panel and smiled immediately—

"Task Three is completed!"

Since the "Jian Province Competition", Yan Chuan has been developing the "Dugu Nine Swords".

To more quickly develop the "Dugu Nine Swords", after completing the peak boxing skills like "Baji Fist", "Tongbei Fist", and "Tai Chi Boxing" one after another, Yan Chuan began crazily developing various sects’ swordsmanship.

After the first two rounds, the "Five Mountains Swordsmanship" of the ’Five Mountains Sword Sects’ was already nearly developed.

From the first day of the third round, Yan Chuan began developing swordsmanship from the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect—

"Quanzhen Swordsmanship"!

"Mutual Destruction Sword Skill"!

"One Qi to Three Pure Ones"!

These are all swordsmanship from the ’Quanzhen Sect’.

There is also a set of "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", not only sharp in technique but also emphasizing ethereal grace, precisely the swordsmanship of the ’Ancient Tomb Sect’.

Quanzhen!

Ancient Tomb!

All four swordsmanships are extraordinary, all at the Xin Level Five Stars, on par with "Purple Mist Divine Skill".

After the two sects’ swordsmanship, there remain endless swordsmanships that can be developed.

But Yan Chuan did not seek to be greedy and complete everything.

Starting from the ninth day of March, he began developing the "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship" based on "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship".

This is the combined attack swordsmanship described in the seventh part of "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture" created by the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Lin Chaoying. The original technique required a man to use "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and a woman to use "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", their dual swords combined, producing immense power.

Little Dragon Girl learned the ’Left and Right Mutual Combat’ from the Old Naughty Zhou Botong, mastering divided attention afterwards, could also use it alone. Although the strength was not as great as two people together, the speed was several times faster than two people using it together, and the power was exceptionally strong, even the Jin Lun Dharma King, who had cultivated "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" to the tenth layer, wasn’t a match, which indicates something.

The subtle brilliance of this swordsmanship level can also be seen from the difficulty level on the "Derivation Skill"—

[Task Three]

[Development Project Name: Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship (Difficulty: Geng ★)]

[Inspiration: 100]

[Complete the task to receive ’Experience +50000’, ’Spiritual +50000’.]

...

Jade Maiden Pure Heart!

Geng-level One Star!

Slightly inferior to "One Yang Finger", not weaker than "Dugu Nine Swords"!

Logically, the development difficulty of this swordsmanship should not be less than "Dugu Nine Swords", and it should be about the same, but it is actually not, much shorter.

This, on the one hand, is because Yan Chuan, after successively developing "Five Mountains Swordsmanship", "Quanzhen Swordsmanship", "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", and "Dugu Nine Swords", his understanding of swordsmanship is becoming increasingly profound, many sword techniques and sword theories can be used effortlessly.

But there is also a very important factor—

"The ’Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship’ was created based on ’Quanzhen Swordsmanship’ and ’Jade Maiden Swordsmanship’, having already developed these two swordsmanships, developing ’Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship’ is naturally twice the result with half the effort."

Don’t judge this swordsmanship by the mere six or seven days it took to complete, judged by its subtlety and power, it’s truly in no way inferior to ’Dugu Nine Swords’.

This swordsmanship is defined as ’Geng-level One Star’, but if two people use it together, its power is less than ’Dugu Nine Swords’, but if one grasps ’Left and Right Mutual Combat’, one person simultaneously using "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", its power can even surpass "Dugu Nine Swords".

Even "One Yang Finger", before being cultivated to the second rank and the third rank, before "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" reaches the eleventh layer, is less potent than this "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship".

Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship + Left and Right Mutual Combat!

This is the perfect match!

Even Lin Chaoying, the founder of this swordsmanship, might not have imagined that one day, one person could use it alone.

Therefore, after the success of developing "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship", Yan Chuan naturally didn’t think twice and proceeded to develop the "Left and Right Mutual Combat Technique"—

...

[Development Project Name: Left and Right Mutual Combat Technique (Difficulty: Geng ★)]
