Purple Mist Dao Master
Chapter 285 - 226 [Experience: 806500]_2

Chapter 285: Chapter 226 [Experience: 806500]_2

"Martial Arts Grade."

"Martial Arts Accomplishment."

Both are critical factors that influence and determine a martial artist’s strength and skill.

Yan Chuan currently has a very high martial arts grade and is quite accomplished. However, what he currently lacks are the "inner strength," "inner force," "sinew, bone, skin, and membrane," and other physical conditions.

This requires hard work!

The path of martial arts is long and arduous, and Yan Chuan still needs to work hard!

...

"Practicing martial arts is not easy."

"Fortunately, I have the ’Purple Mist Palace.’

Yan Chuan glanced at the panel—

...

[Experience: 806500]

[Spiritual: 898360]

...

During the ’Jian Province Competition,’ as more and more Xin-level and even Geng-level martial arts were created, Yan Chuan accumulated more and more ’experience’ and ’spiritual,’ gradually approaching the one million mark.

’Spiritual’ is not to be mentioned for now.

In terms of ’experience,’ once it reaches one million, one of the four functions of the ’Purple Mist Palace’ can be upgraded—

"Derivation Skill!"

"Treasure Rock!"

"Mutual Teaching and Learning!"

"Daoist Cushion!"

Over the past half year, since last July, there was even an upgrade. Yan Chuan personally experienced the magic of the ’Purple Mist Palace.’ The four functions are all crucial, having played a decisive role in Yan Chuan’s growth.

Now, as ’experience’ approaches one million, the ’Purple Mist Palace’ is about to be upgraded again.

"Just waiting for the four research and development tasks on the ’Derivation Skill’ task list to be completed, the ’experience’ will easily break through one million!"

At that time, when the ’Purple Mist Palace’ is upgraded, Yan Chuan’s progress speed will definitely be upgraded significantly.

Yan Chuan is delighted.

Highly anticipating it.

...

Yan Chuan is looking forward for ’experience’ to break a million and the upgrade of the ’Purple Mist Palace.’

Others are different.

More people in Yingze City are looking forward to the finals three days later, anticipating the pinnacle duel between ’Innate Master’ Yan Chuan and ’Unrivaled Divine Power’ Wang Zhengyi.

They are looking forward to—

Whether it will be Yan Chuan’s ’Unparalleled Fist and Sword’!

Or Wang Zhengyi’s ’Power Shattering Mountains’!

Yan Chuan excels with vast martial arts knowledge and astonishing creativity. From boxing to swordsmanship, he is at the peak, proficient in all, with unfathomable martial arts accomplishment that has yet to be fully revealed.

While Wang Zhengyi’s ’divine power’ is evident to all, Yan Chuan may not fear him, but Wang Zhengyi still possesses a ’Mirage Pearl,’ mysterious and elusive. Under the enveloping fog, no one knows how terrifying Wang Zhengyi is.

In the clash of two strong opponents, determining the stronger remains uncertain.

Everyone is naturally anticipating it.

Not only the spectators, even Wang Zhengyi himself, as one of the protagonists, is preparing actively and anticipating the upcoming pinnacle battle—

...

"Yan Chuan seems like an extrovert, but he hides a lot. I can’t see through him."

Wang Zhengyi shook his head.

Though his trump card is not as simple as it appears, it’s not just ’divine power’ and ’Mirage Pearl.’

But Yan Chuan?

"Five Major Boxing Styles!"

"Five Basic Sword Forms!"

"’Tai Chi Boxing’s ’Four Ounces Move a Thousand Pounds,’ unafraid of your strange strength."

"’Dai Sect’s Calculation’ can account for the enemy’s position, martial arts sect, body shape, weapon size, even the height of sunlight. It’s extremely complex calculations, and once figured out, a sword thrust will never miss."

"All your martial arts, from the ’Six Harmonies Fist’ to the ’Fierce Dragon Technique,’ are all within his calculations, not to mention the ’Xingyi Boxing,’ ’Twelve Forms,’ and ’Alligator Form Boxing’ learned from him."

Wang Kuan enumerated Yan Chuan’s exposed skills—

One ’Tai Chi Boxing,’ nullifying Wang Zhengyi’s ’divine power’ advantage.

One ’Dai Sect’s Calculation,’ accounting for all of Wang Zhengyi’s ’martial arts.’

From the outsider’s view, all Wang Zhengyi can rely on is a ’Mirage Pearl.’

However—

"Yan Chuan acts meticulously, when you met in the first round, you had already exposed the ’Mirage Pearl.’ With this month’s time and your understanding of Yan Chuan, he likely already has a way to counter it."

Wang Kuan frowned, "The ’Mirage Pearl’ advantage can also be disregarded."

Based on Wang Kuan’s analysis, the three strategic advantages that Wang Zhengyi possesses vanish before Yan Chuan.

"You need to have a strategy in mind."

Wang Kuan’s injuries have fully healed. Although his current strength doesn’t match up to Wang Zhengyi, he is older and considers matters thoroughly. He has thought over every aspect of the battle between Wang Zhengyi and Yan Chuan for his son.

But the more he lists and compares, the more he feels that Wang Zhengyi’s chances of winning are slim, and that Yan Chuan is unfathomable.

"He is like an abyss, bottomless at a glance. Even when you throw a stone down, it remains silent and unanswered."

Wang Kuan recalled Yan Chuan, remembered every little interaction with him, every bit Yan Chuan showed in this ’Jian Province Competition,’ holding respect and admiration for Yan Chuan. Though knowing Wang Zhengyi isn’t that kind of person, he couldn’t help but advise, "In this battle with Yan Chuan, you may use strategies, expose more of your trump cards, but regardless of the outcome, do not harbor hostility towards him. I have a good relationship with him, and so do you. Growing together in the future is the right path."

Wang Kuan was close to figuratively throwing the phrase ’cling to thick thighs’ at Wang Zhengyi.

Wang Zhengyi wasn’t upset by this; instead, he smiled and said, "Yan Chuan and I appreciate each other; I’m even relying on him to tailor a divine skill for me. Don’t worry, Dad, the arena is the arena; I don’t care about winning or losing."

Winning or losing?

He truly doesn’t care!

Because even his father believes Yan Chuan will win, but Wang Zhengyi knows his own strength best—

"This battle!"

"I have an eighty percent chance of winning!"

After narrowly escaping death at ’Nanyue Lake’ and having such extraordinary encounters, if he couldn’t even contend with Yan Chuan, he might as well wash up and go to bed.

This battle!

Victory is assured!

...

"This battle!"

"Victory is assured!"

The esteemed members of the Mianran Divine Sect waited until the flowers withered to finally receive the news of action tonight. Xiong Ji was somewhat excited and shouted, then hurriedly asked, "Of the Jian Province Four Masters, which one did we get?"

Yan Chuan!

Wang Zhengyi!

Liu Qifeng!

Fu Yunzhan!

These are the four acknowledged most powerful and first-tier talents of this ’Jian Province Competition.’

The four sects conspired to hunt down the heavenly prides, and the allocation of these four was the most concerning aspect, which is why Xiong Ji immediately inquired about whom the Mianran Divine Sect obtained.

"Which one?"

The Mianran Divine Sect’s Mirror Holder, Qin Wushan, glared at Xiong Ji, furious, "Because Xiong Gaogong did not discipline his subordinates properly, giving the other three sects a pretext, our sect was severely targeted in the allocation, and we were assigned Yan Chuan!"

"Yan Chuan?"

Xiong Ji simply pretended not to hear Qin Wushan’s accusation, grinning widely, "Yan Chuan is great!"

After cheering.

Xiong Ji immediately reacted, "Eh? No, Yan Chuan is the head of the four masters, universally acknowledged as the strongest. Why does Qin the Envoy look so displeased that we got him?"

This idiot!

Another Mirror Holder, Liao Ai, remarked coldly, "Think of Yan Chuan’s nickname!"

Yan Chuan’s nickname?

What is it?

"Shadowless Kick?"

"Chatterbox?"

"First Sword of Jian Province?"

No!

No, no, no!

"Is it ’Innate Master’?!"

Xiong Ji’s eyes widened as he slapped his forehead, "Yan Chuan is known as the ’Innate Master,’ having a deep relationship with Jian Province’s new Innate Jiang Bianliu. Taking action against him might provoke Jiang Bianliu and the wrath of the innate. Too many variables."

This Yan Chuan is not easy to deal with!

"Damn it!" Xiong Ji cursed, "The three sects are treacherous, handing us a hot potato!"

Qin Wushan glanced at Xiong Ji, mockingly saying, "Now you’re being obedient? We were assigned Yan Chuan, and we’re supposed to naively charge at him?"

This?

What does it mean?

The ’Jian Province Four Masters’ were divided among the four sects. Given the Yan Chuan we received, if we do not hunt him, the quality of the ’sacrifices’ would be inferior compared to the other three sects, potentially leading to blame from the sect or even the Divine Master afterward.

This is not acceptable, right?

The esteemed members hesitated.

But they misunderstood.

Liao Ai smirked coldly, "We do not want Yan Chuan, but no one said we’ll give up on the other three of the ’Four Masters.’"

This, this, this!

"Didn’t the four sects conspire—"

Xiong Ji was dumbfounded.

Qin Wushan clasped his hands in prayer towards the east, with a devout expression, "Heaven and earth, nine mountains and nine seas, only Mianran Divine!"

Four sects?

What four sects?

Conspiracy?

There’s no such conspiracy!

"Conspiracy is conspiracy!"

"Battle is battle!"

The third Mirror Holder, Yang Bing, casually tore apart the ’Four Sects Conspiracy List’ in his hand, laughing lightly, "Our targets are—Wang Zhengyi! Liu Qifeng! Fu Yunzhan!"

The Jian Province Four Masters!

Aiming to capture three!

As for Yan Chuan, let the other three sects scramble for this tough nut!
