CHAPTER 645: CHAPTER 403: RETURN TO GUANGLING: GRANDMASTER WEI QUAN!

On another front, the management of the Tan Valley Army and the Hundred Flower Palace revolves around cultivating foundational martial strength.

"Mutual Teaching and Learning" can enhance the understanding efficiency by 100% for the listeners. This benefits even Innate Grandmasters like Wang Zhengyi and Jiang Bianliu, but compared to them, its application in lower-tier education is more significant, especially on the generally dull soldiers of the Tan Valley Army and the disciples of the Hundred Flower Palace.

Starting from July with military training and martial teaching, now in the coldest months, over the last half year, under Yan Chuan’s sessions of martial lectures and instructions, more than ninety-nine percent of the thirty thousand generals have mastered at least one of the ’Five Fists’, at the very minimum gaining a Basic Insight, and generally entering the room.

Half a year!

Third Realm!

If it were one or two, or even twenty, or a carefully selected one or two hundred from a Martial Arts Hall or an academy, this would not be surprising.

But the entire Tan Valley Army, thirty thousand soldiers, mostly deemed unattractive and untalented, in just half a year, all progressing from nothing to mastering one of the ’Five Fists’ like ’Xingyi Boxing’ to the stage of entering the room, it truly is a miracle.

This is the miracle wrought by "Mutual Teaching and Learning".

With understanding efficiency enhanced by 100%, mediocrities become geniuses, dull-witted become bright. Since basics of boxing became easier to grasp, the progress in cultivation of boxing, at least in the early stages, depends solely on personal efforts and diligence.

In other words!

Under Yan Chuan’s guidance, after half a year, even a pig could train to master the Fierce Tiger Fist. If there are those in the Tan Valley Army who still can’t measure up, without question, they are the lazy and unambitious. Such people should not continue training; they should just go move bricks, build houses, farm or plant fields, which might suit them better.

Thirty thousand Tan Valley soldiers!

Refinement turns iron into steel!

...

A moment passes.

Half a month.

"Divine Seating."

"True Essence True Seed."

Yan Chuan opens his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, as he stands up —

Boom!

True Qi surges.

Among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the ’Charging Meridian’ is cleared, ’Blood Sea’ opens, his Qi-Blood vast and majestic.

In half a month, twenty pounds of ’Honey Jade Bee Royal Jelly’ were completely consumed and refined —

"Charging Meridian cleared!"

"First Layer achieved!"

Yan Chuan stands, feeling his vibrant True Qi. In just half a month, he has become much stronger than when he first proved Dao.

Everything from True Qi, physique, to martial arts, progresses.

Additionally, using "Mutual Teaching and Learning" to deepen his "Divine Light Scripture" mastery with Jiang Bianliu, moving forward hand in hand, refining fire, concomitantly condensing a True Seed while refining and consuming Honey Jade.

Honey Jade fully refined.

True Seed formed.

Yan Chuan feels the vast True Qi within, sensing a faint fruit within his True Yuan. That is the ’True Seed,’ about the size of a thumb, containing abundant True Yuan, discrete and dormant, representing an extra condensation beyond his intrinsic True Yuan, which neither gathering nor explosively affects himself.

"With such a ’True Seed,’ during life-and-death battles, I can unleash the ’True Seed’ without harm to myself. One True Seed allows me an unharmed outburst once."

"Fleeing or preserving life, unbeatable!"

Yan Chuan is delighted.

He had assumed creating "Qiankun Great Shifting" was needed to better manage his potential and cultivate True Yuan, unaware that Jiang Bianliu and "Divine Light Scripture" took the lead in developing profound uses for potential and True Yuan.

True Seed!

Divine Light True Seed!

One can explosively battle for life and death.

Two revive the dead.

Immense utility!

Compared to the overall focus on cultivation and combat in "Nine Yang Divine Skill," "Divine Light Scripture" truly excels as a medical scripture, its miracles mostly seen in assistance and medical domains.

The two great Geng Five Divine Skills each have their uses.

At this moment, Yan Chuan can’t help but wonder about the intricacies and transformations hidden within future developments such as "Qiankun Great Shifting," "Nine Yin Scripture," and those already established like "Nine Yang Divine Skill," "Kuihua Manual," "Dragon Elephant Wisdom," and so forth.

Especially "Nine Yang Divine Skill" ——

"If Elder Jiang could derive ’True Seed’ from the ’Divine Light Scripture,’ then I, cultivating ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ to the peak of the Seventh Realm, should be able to develop similar utilities too."

Previously, Yan Chuan single-mindedly pursued high realms in "Nine Yang Divine Skill," focusing too much on the destination and ignoring the journey.

This time, inspired by Elder Jiang and the ’True Seed’ of "Divine Light Scripture," he has awakened to greater expectations for "Nine Yang Divine Skill."

During this return to Guangling, he can take advantage of the time to meditate and ponder.

Divine Light True Seed.

Innate First Layer.

These are double blessings.

With a double joy, Yan Chuan finally sets off to return to Guangling.

...

Jian Province, Guangling City.

In a civilian house, within a small courtyard.

"The ’Xingyi Boxing Manual’ says there are ten ailments in practicing Xingyi Boxing. Before we beginners practice boxing each day, it’s best to recite them once."

"Cai Jian!"

"You recite them!"

In the small courtyard, a child of about seven or eight puts his hands behind his back, lecturing a toddler of around three or four.

The toddler is young, yet he can recite —

"Xingyi Boxing, has ten ailments:"

"First ailment: crooked head and retracted neck, the posture’s not right, leaning forward and backward, the body is all ailments."

"Second ailment: open mouth and protruding tongue, eyes lacking spirit, obstruction of the meridians, unclear vision."

"Third ailment: leaning left and right, hunching back and bending waist, unstable center of gravity, inflexible stepping technique."

...

The toddler’s voice is tender and crisp, the ’ten ailments’ are quite tricky and complex for him, yet he can recite them completely. In the academy, he would be called a little prodigy.

Cai Gong sees his younger brother recite everything, grins showing missing teeth, steps forward to pat little Cai Jian’s head, putting on an old-styled air: "Well recited! From today, Third Brother will teach you ’Xingyi Boxing.’"

Cai Gong produces a low-quality "Xingyi Boxing Manual," flips through it twice, and imitates the little figures...
