Chapter 329: Chapter 248: Incompetent and Playful!

This time, Yan Chuan’s harvest at the foot of Purple Beard Mountain wasn’t just the ’Qi Yun Mountain Sixty-four Sword’ and ’Purple Beard Mountain Sixty-four Sword’.

Additionally.

There was also——

"Derivation Skill!"

"Inspiration!"

...

[Task One: Inspiration +8]

[Task Two: Inspiration +13]

[Task Three: Inspiration +11]

[Task Four: Inspiration +6]

...

Wang Zhengyi and Gu Shiyou in a fierce battle.

Yan Chuan first fought the ’Purple Beard Four Talents’, then the ’Thousand-Handed Sword Ape’.

After the three battles at the foot of Purple Beard Mountain, Yan Chuan couldn’t stop talking, and hundreds of Purple Beard disciples listened to the lecture, causing Yan Chuan’s "Derivation Skill" inspiration to soar.

[Task Two] is Swordsmanship.

[Task Three] is Boxing.

These two tasks had the most inspiration growth.

But Yan Chuan guessed that ordinary disciples of the Purple Beard Sect couldn’t provide so much feedback and inspiration. In the forest at the foot of the mountain at that time, many masters of the Purple Beard Sect must have been hidden.

These masters were also spectating, listening to the lecture, thinking, and providing feedback. Only in this way could Yan Chuan gain so many benefits.

The strange large-scale growth of "Derivation Skill" inspiration was a major reason why Yan Chuan speculated that there must have been strong enemies lurking at the time.

"This Purple Beard Sect!"

"Each one is so sneaky?"

Yan Chuan’s impression of the Purple Beard Sect was greatly diminished.

Hidden and revealing!

Sneaky!

It’s hard not to leave a bad impression.

However, no matter what, no matter how the Purple Beard Sect was, at least this trip to Purple Beard Mountain was very fruitful for Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan was in a good mood.

...

Tap, tap, tap!

The steed roars westward!

The wind blows to the west, the people and horses travel east.

After Yan Chuan and his three companions left Purple Beard Mountain, they traveled eastward, passing directly through the Xiping County within Hui State. They did not detour to Xiping City, but instead crossed straight over, veering slightly southeast, heading directly to Pingyu City in Xiang Province.

In Xiang Province, Pingyu City in Pingyu County has a Pingyu School——

"In the tenth year of Hongwu, July, the Traveler Department listed Martial Arts Academy rankings, and Pingyu School ranked ninety-ninth!"

"Just on the way, let’s take a look!"

...

Great Yan, Ci State.

There is a Cang Mountain, extremely treacherous and extending for countless miles, with thirty-six major peaks and seventy-two minor peaks, with countless smaller hills. It is known as the ’First Mountain of Great Yan’!

Long before the Great Yan Buwu, the Ministry of Works initiated large-scale constructions on the various peaks of Cang Mountain. After more than ten years of construction, the peaks of Cang Mountain become filled with palaces and pagodas everywhere. At the beginning of this year, all government offices of all levels in the Capital City, along with an entire royal palace, moved to Cang Mountain, situated on various peaks.

As one of the Six Ministries, the ’Traveler Department’ occupied a ’Book Box Peak’.

The fissures on the cliff of ’Book Box Peak’ seem to be split with knives and axes, forming layered boxes. From Songgu Path, they resemble the book boxes used by scholars, thus named, and listed as one of Cang Mountain’s thirty-six major peaks.

"The exotic peak resembles a book box, containing myriad heavenly writings. Unfortunately, the unique scholar doesn’t recognize it, hanging on a high ridge for ages in vain."

During this period, Book Box Peak was extremely busy.

Flocks of carrier pigeons constantly flew in and out, bringing intelligence from many domains and regions, including the Mountain and Sea Realm beneath the Fifteen States.

Vast!

Complex!

Ordinary people simply can’t organize it.

Fortunately, the ’Traveler Department’ had already established an effective system, with plenty of staff to quickly and efficiently sort out all kinds of intelligence from various places.

The fifteen All-Knowing just needed to sit high in the hall, making the final decisions.

This year, on March 1st, the Traveler Department released the "Weapon List·Heavenly List".

Not long ago, on April 1st, they released the "Weapon List·Human List".

In the past two months, there were few changes in the "Heavenly List".

But the "Human List" was different.

In less than a month, many battles occurred over the rankings on the "Hidden Dragon List" and "Chufeng List", known for their high-profile heavenly talents.

These disgruntled out-of-list geniuses also challenged those on the list.

For a time, the entire Great Yan was in disarray.

Although the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ had not yet started, the young martial artists under thirty were already fighting fiercely.

Originally, the "Human List" consisted of 216 heaven-prides who participated in this Fifteen States competition.

However, in less than a month since the "Human List" release, only from the intelligence gathered by the ’Traveler Department’, over thirty percent of those on the list were defeated by young geniuses from outside the list.

From beyond the top hundred.

To around twenty or thirty.

The "Human List" heavenly talents all had defeats.

Fortunately, the Traveler Department had anticipated this situation, thus when releasing the "Weapon List·Human List" this time, they explicitly marked it as a ’trial version’.

The real first edition, to be finalized after the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, would be officially confirmed around July.

By then.

Not only the "Human List".

The "Earthly List", which includes the 108 strongest postnatal and limit-breaking martial artists of the Fifteen States of Great Yan, would also be released at the same time.

Additionally, the revised "Heavenly List" would also be issued simultaneously.

In this way——

"Heavenly List"!

"Earthly List"!

"Human List"!

The three lists would be released together, all set for July, and all designated as the inaugural edition, the first issue.

And the "Human List" (trial version) was the ’bait’ thrown out by the ’Traveler Department’—— fre.eweb(n)ovel\.c om

"If there wasn’t a Fifteen States competition, we wouldn’t know each academy still harbored so many young experts!"

"If the ’Human List’ wasn’t released, we wouldn’t know that outside the Martial Arts Academy, there are so many wild heavenly talents in the world!"

Tian Jing reviewed briefings of daily intelligence, seeing the fiery competition in the "Hidden Dragon" and "Chufeng" two lists, and felt a moment of emotion. He casually flipped through them, just to make sure he was aware.

What he truly focused on, however, was the young friend he met back then at Suanzao Mountain in Jian Province——

"On April 13th, at Purple Beard Mountain in Hui State, Yan Chuan went to the Purple Beard Sect, ranked twenty-second in the ’Sect Ranking’, to challenge the ’Chufeng List’ ninety-seventh ranked ’Thousand Mechanism Sword’ led by Xu Yue in the ’Purple Beard Four Talents’ and the ’Hidden Dragon List’ seventy-fourth ranked ’Thousand-Handed Sword Ape’ Yin Ye, winning both battles."
