Chapter 304: Chapter 235 Jian Province Competition Conclusion: Unrivaled Lion Roar!_2

[Miracle Item·White Horn Trumpet (Level 10): Entirely made from the white horn of a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, it can amplify sound. (Traits: Amplification, Intimidation, Constraint, Size.)]

(Cannot be upgraded for now.)

(Searching for fusible materials.)

(No fusible materials found for now.)

...

Intentional planting fails to grow, while unintentional planting enriches the shade!

The ’White Horn Trumpet’ is a product of Yan Chuan’s casual creation. He made it randomly just to spread his martial arts lecture voice farther, and during the process of upgrading the ’White Horn Trumpet’ to level 10, its four traits each proved highly useful. A single trait might not be significant, but combined, these four traits make the ’White Horn Trumpet’ exceptional.

He usually uses the ’Size’ trait to shrink the ’White Horn Trumpet’, making it easy to carry around.

Occasionally, it is used for martial arts lectures, amplifying the effect of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" through ’Amplification’.

When encountering a strong opponent, it can also enhance the power of ’Lion’s Roar’ through the ’Amplification’ and ’Intimidation’ traits.

Endlessly useful!

Truly exceptional!

Yan Chuan is even willing to let the ’White Horn Trumpet’ occupy a strengthening slot in ’Treasure Rock’ for a long time — this treasure is hard to come by.

Especially after this battle, the position of the ’White Horn Trumpet’ among Yan Chuan’s treasured items has risen sharply, becoming the second most precious item below the ’Star Stone’!

...

"Ouch!"

"Headache!"

"Isn’t that Yan Chuan? Yan Chuan has such a loud voice! It’s making my head buzz!"

"This Yan Chuan! Back in Guangling City, he stepped on my head to jump onto the stage! This time at the ’Jian Province Competition’, I don’t have to worry about getting my head stepped on again, but now Yan Chuan pulls this trick on me?"

"It’s the ’Lion’s Roar’! Wow, look at that, a single roar from Yan Chuan made thousands of people dizzy! Is this guy even human?!"

...

Around the arena, in the audience seats.

The spectators didn’t suffer much injury; Yan Chuan had controlled himself and skillfully used the ’Constraint’ trait of the ’White Horn Trumpet’ to control the target, range, and power to a reasonable degree —

Enough to subdue Wang Zhengyi.

Yet able to gather firsthand empirical data of ’Hundred Schools Horn + Lion’s Roar’ from the experts in the Eastern stands.

Simultaneously.

Yan Chuan ’involves’ the audience, not because he can’t control it; it’s deliberate —

...

"Sorry!"

"Sorry!"

"Apologies to everyone!"

"Wang Zhengyi of Guangling Academy is so strong, I had to give my all to win, couldn’t hold back even a bit. I just regret that my skills are limited, resulting in unintentional mishaps, I hope you won’t mind!"

"To express my apologies to you all, I will be teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’ here for three consecutive days. Anyone interested is welcome to listen to the lecture."

...

Victory!

Apology!

Martial arts lecture!

All in one go!

With this decisive battle, Yan Chuan earned big!

...

"Good fellow, ’Lion’s Roar’ really wakes you up!"

Sima Feng handed ten silver notes to Yan Chuan, patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, completely different from his initial cold rejection when Yan Chuan had Shao Yancong apply for a ’lecture’ during the beginning of the ’Jian Province Competition’, as if he had nothing to do with that earlier incident.

This person!

Not to be trusted deeply!

"Here is a variety of secret medicine with a total value of fifty thousand taels, which you can claim with this note."

Li Mingshan handed over a detailed list of secret medicines, and then smiled at Yan Chuan: "With talent like yours, this ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ will definitely make Jian Province shine in the presence of the world’s experts!"

Li Mingshan smiled warmly, though deeply scheming, but outwardly friendly.

"Impressive!"

"Incredible!"

"The ’Five Fists’ and ’Five Swords’ were already shocking enough, and to think you had the ’Lion’s Roar’ in your repertoire as well!"

Ni Mengtong gave a thumbs up to Yan Chuan, then handed him a list, "The winner of the ’Jian Province Competition’ can choose any surprise weapon from here, as long as the total value doesn’t exceed fifty thousand taels."

Cash!

Secret medicines!

Surprise weapons!

These are the rewards for the winner of the ’Jian Province Competition’, valued at over a hundred thousand taels.

But the rewards for first place aren’t just these, there are also martial arts secret manuals.

Jiang Bianliu was the one handing out the secret manual rewards to Yan Chuan. Elder Jiang smiled at Yan Chuan: "Since you can create your own ’Five Fists and Five Swords’, you probably don’t care much for the Fifth Grade Martial Arts rewarded in the competition. Consider the secret manual reward waived; if you have any other requests, feel free to ask me or the three lords, as you represented Jian Province in the Cang Mountain competition, bringing glory to Jian Province. The three lords certainly won’t refuse."

As Jiang Bianliu spoke, he looked at Sima Feng, Li Mingshan, and Ni Mengtong, smiling: "I’m overstepping here, please pardon me, three lords."

"Elder Jiang is an Innate Grandmaster, the face of Jian Province, and can surely make decisions regarding Jian Province matters." Sima Feng reacted quickly, first nodding to Jiang Bianliu, then turned to Yan Chuan, saying: "Whatever Professor Yan intends, just ask, and if it’s within Jian Province’s power, we shall comply."

Sima Feng’s words were half for show, but also half sincere.

The Heavenly Pride from the Fifteen States of Great Yan gather at Cang Mountain to jointly participate in a grand event; as the governor of Jian Province, Sima Feng certainly hopes that Yan Chuan and other Jian Province Heavenly Pride can shine brightly at Cang Mountain, greatly enhancing Jian Province’s reputation; at the same time, it’s a considerable political achievement for him.

Therefore—

Cash!

Secret medicines!

Surprise weapons!

Secret manuals!

The rewards for the ’Jian Province Competition’ are generous. On one hand, it’s a reward; on the other hand, it’s undoubtedly to further arm and enhance the strength of Jian Province’s Heavenly Pride.

Among them, the reward is a surface level benefit, while enhancing strength is the underlying objective.

But as Jiang Bianliu said, Fifth Grade Martial Arts isn’t enough for Yan Chuan, unable to boost his strength, thus making compensations in other areas, and doing their best to meet Yan Chuan’s needs elsewhere to ensure his strength receives another boost before reaching Cang Mountain, is indeed reasonable.

Li Mingshan and Ni Mengtong also looked at Yan Chuan generously: "Just speak up!"

Yan Chuan knows Elder Jiang intends to lend a helping hand, so since Sima Feng and the others have spoken, Yan Chuan doesn’t hold back, "The rewards for first place are already extremely substantial, I dare not be greedy, but I do have two small requests——"

...

"Oh! What a great opportunity! And you only made these two requests?"

Shao Yancong sighed.

Having returned to the Taikang Academy area after the ’Jian Province Competition’ wrapped up with Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi’s pinnacle battle.

Morning final battle!

Afternoon award ceremony!

The whole ’Jian Province Competition’ officially concluded.

Due to cult activities, the city was uneasy, and the planned celebration banquet was canceled, much to Yan Chuan’s relief as he preferred peace and quiet, returning to his residence, only to be found by Shao Yancong.

"About those two requests of yours——"

"Borrowing the venue; with your influence, casually mentioning it later should warrant no difficulty for a three-day loan. Besides, you’re borrowing to widely teach ’Xingyi Boxing’, something beneficial for Jian Province; the province should be asking you, not the other way around. Why waste such a rare chance?"

"As for borrowing access to the Jian Province Scripture Pavilion’s texts, with your relationship with Elder Jiang, a private request could achieve it too."

Shao Yancong is typically overly eager, yet Yan Chuan’s two requests: one for borrowing the venue of the Jian Province Competition to lecture for three consecutive days and teach ’Xingyi Boxing’ as an apology for ’inadvertently’ injuring thousands of spectators with the ’Lion’s Roar’.

The second request pertains to interpreting Jian Province texts.

The ’Jian Province Scripture Pavilion’ houses numerous martial arts from various schools and sects across Jian Province, comprehensive in nature and no single county or academy can compare.

Yan Chuan’s "Derivation Skill" requires accumulation; he’s engaged in numerous matches lately, garnering extensive feedback from "Mutual Teaching and Learning," yet in terms of theoretical accumulation and martial arts insight, he still needs persistent hard work, always grasping every opportunity to solidify himself.

Yan Chuan finds both requests appropriate and necessary.

Nonetheless, in Shao Yancong’s, or rather outsiders’ eyes, it seems inevitably wasteful.

But——

"I truly have no other desires."
