Chapter 321: Chapter 244 Purple Beard 4 Show: Yan Chuan must not be insulted, harmed, or killed!

"Damn it!"

Gu Shiyou unleashed his true fire.

Since childhood, he had trained in the Purple Beard Sect, always considered a supreme talent, envied and marveled at by everyone. Across all of Hui State, the only ones clearly stronger than him in his age group were Yin Ye, Xu Yue, and Zhuge Zhen.

Gu Shiyou considered himself fourth.

But with the release of the "Human List", Gu Shiyou found himself surprisingly at the bottom of the "Hidden Dragon List". If the "Chufeng List" was counted, he didn’t even make the top 200.

Gu Shiyou was not convinced.

He thought the "Human List" was wrong and underestimated him.

Before the Heavenly Prides from various states gathered for the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, how were these rankings even determined?

Ridiculous!

Gu Shiyou did not accept it.

He held onto a surge of energy, just waiting to prove himself at Cang Mountain.

However.

Who could have expected.

Before even setting off, right at the foot of Purple Beard Mountain, Wang Zhengyi, ranked 105th on the "Hidden Dragon List", one rank below him, came knocking. The two were evenly matched, unable to determine a winner for some time.

Gu Shiyou was both surprised and suspicious.

Absolutely infuriating!

He refused to accept it—

"Am I really just at the bottom of the ’Human List’ standards?"

"Could there really be 100 to 200 Heavenly Prides outside Hui State better than me?"

From being one of the top, to not even making the top 100 or 200.

Anyone would feel the disparity.

With this sense of disparity and frustration, Gu Shiyou wielded his steel whip with fierce precision, showing no mercy.

However.

The more he fought, the more annoyed he became—

"The shoulder follows the elbow, the elbow follows the hand, the hand moves the wrist follows, the elbow moves the shoulder shifts, the front hand goes back to cover the elbow, hand firm, wrist flexible, elbow covered, shoulder aligned, thus the steel whip grows fiercer."

"Loose shoulder, loose elbow, loose waist, to disperse the strength of the whole body."

"Brother Wang, pay attention. This Gu Shiyou has lost his loose strength, making him unpredictable, like a mudfish."

"Shoulder is shoulder, elbow is elbow, wrist is wrist, hand is hand, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand all become separate segments."

"To be most loose, one cannot be grasped!"

"However, as long as you grasp the essence of the ’Tri-element Whip’, there is no need to fear."

"The ’Tri-element Whip’ contains the ’Five Forms’, which are ape, bear, tiger, turtle, dragon."

"The agility of the ape, the steadiness of the bear, the majesty of the tiger, the flexibility of the turtle, the spirit of the dragon."

"Gu Shiyou has already trained the ’Five Forms’ into his very bones."

"But in the ’Five Musts’, he still lacks."

"Floating Qi must gather, original strength must be fierce, tiger wrist must be firm, waist must be agile, heart must be alive, these are the ’Five Musts’."

"Heavenly Gate carries, waist veins lift, Cang Gate divides Qi into yin and yang. The abdomen speaks of yin sinking, yin gathering, yang dispersing, Eight Diagram as the root. The laws of the whole body. What are the laws of the whole body? Strength arises from the feet, also requires the Dantian. Tight five grasps, represent six joints, seven joints sinking, eight joints firm, nine joints agile, ten joints attack, eleven joints step, twelve grasps, thirteen heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, fourteen engorgement into the groove, then you achieve the logic of the whole body."

"Brother Wang!"

"Attack where they must defend!"

...

The more Gu Shiyou fought, the more stifled and agitated he felt.

He was having a good fight with Wang Zhengyi, yet those people down there were truly noisy. Every time he was about to gain the upper hand, his moves were disclosed, and Wang Zhengyi, receiving guidance, could counter and retaliate, making Gu Shiyou keep changing his techniques, failing to gain any advantage for a long time.

Truly frustrating!

If this continues, the subtle changes of the ’Tri-element Whip’ might as well be fully exposed to those people below.

"Noisy!"

Gu Shiyou couldn’t hold back any longer—

Bang, bang, bang!

After smashing three times with his whip, he shouted: "A true gentleman watches without speaking! Brother Yin, Senior Sister Xu, please make that person shut up!"

Haha!

As soon as Gu Shiyou said that, many people below burst into laughter.

This 24-year-old brute, actually said scholastic words like ’a true gentleman watches without speaking’, truly bizarre and quite funny.

However, listening to the young man across pointing and explaining the mysteries of the ’Tri-element Whip’, Yin Ye also grew impatient. Seeing Gu Shiyou seeking help, he turned to Xu Yue: "Please, Junior Sister."

"Someone has invaded the mountain, I have a duty to act."

"But, Senior Brother."

Xu Yue frowned, hesitated, and said: "The person across, I suspect, is eight out of ten Yan Chuan!"

"Yan Chuan?"

"81st on the ’Hidden Dragon List’, ’Innate Master’ Yan Chuan?"

Yin Ye was taken aback, then quickly realized: "That’s right! The ’Hidden Dragon List’ describes Yan Chuan as rather eccentric, likes to act as a mentor, and loves to point and nudge regardless of the target or circumstance."

And that person across, from the time Wang Zhengyi started fighting with Gu Shiyou, had been incessantly chattering, constantly lecturing, wasn’t that just Yan Chuan’s style?

"If it really is Yan Chuan, Junior Sister might not be able to win."

Yin Ye rubbed his fists.

’Innate Master’ Yan Chuan, first in Jian Province, 81st on the "Hidden Dragon List"!

Expert in boxing, swordsmanship.

Master of ’Five Fists’, ’Five Swords’, ’Lion Roar’ and at least twenty Absolute Skills, all of which are highly accomplished.

Qi power strong, only second to ’Unrivaled Divine Power’ Wang Zhengyi.

The only shortcoming might be cultivation, not reaching mid-grade, ranking at the bottom among the 216 Heavenly Prides on the "Human List".

Yet precisely because his cultivation is at the bottom, still able to rank 81st on the "Hidden Dragon List", this makes Yan Chuan’s martial arts accomplishment even more terrifying.

This person!

Hard to deal with!

Against Yan Chuan, Xu Yue would most likely stand little chance, requiring Yin Ye himself to step in.

However—

"Senior Brother, I am not afraid of battle."

Xu Yue smiled wryly, hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother, think again of the ’Human List’ title given to Yan Chuan and the origin of this title."

Title?

Isn’t it just ’Innate Master’—

"Innate Master?!"

Yin Ye’s pupils contracted, finally understanding.

Xu Yue nodded: "Exactly! According to the ’Human List’, this Yan Chuan once created a peak boxing skill in Jian Province, named ’Xingyi Boxing’. A leader in the province saw the boxing manual, and within days, broke through to ’Innate’, hence Yan Chuan earned this ’Innate Master’ title."
