CHAPTER 648: CHAPTER 404 NEWS OF CHENG FENGXIAO, YU JINPENG, AND JIN YUTANG!_2

Three Body Formation!

Five Elements Boxing!

Twelve Forms!

"Xingyi Boxing!"

"So that’s it!"

Wei Quan achieved Great Enlightenment, and a long howl shook the sky—

"Hands must not leave the feet, feet must not leave the hands, hands and feet cannot leave the body. Separately they are myriad methods, together they unify as one Qi."

"Three turns, nine twists, it’s all one movement."

"Master!"

"I’ve understood!"

Xingyi!

Hands and feet!

Wei Quan understood!

The next moment, Yan Chuan also moved—

He gracefully yet swiftly exerted the Finger Snapping Divine Ability during Wei Quan’s enlightenment, when his Qi-Blood reached its peak—

Bang bang bang!

Since the ’Jian Province Competition’ and ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, Jian Province Martial Artists have had a concept of breaking the limit.

Yu Renjie and Dai Pu were both shocked and envious when they saw Wei Quan—

"Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough!"

"Wei Quan is going to break the limit!"

Even though they knew Yan Chuan was powerful, they never expected that with just a few pointers upon his return, Yan Chuan would allow Wei Quan, who had been unable to find a breakthrough, to achieve sudden enlightenment and be on the verge of breaking through momentarily.

Such skill!

Truly deserving the title of ’Innate Master’ of the past!

They knew that during a Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough, a mentor’s Bone Energy assistance was required and assumed Yan Chuan was currently exerting his power.

However.

It was not.

"Hold it back!"

Yan Chuan shouted explosively, using the Finger Snapping Divine Ability, and across the air, he scattered Wei Quan’s peak Qi-Blood, which was about to reach the Limit-breaking Level moments ago!

Enlightenment ended!

Breaking the limit failed!

The ruinous path—

Was his master!

Yan Chuan!

...

"Senior Brother."

Chen Ze, who had been watching, in contrast to Yu Renjie and Dai Pu’s shock and confusion, smiled, understanding his elder brother’s actions.

Not just Chen Ze.

Even Wei Quan himself felt puzzled and bewildered when Yan Chuan interrupted and halted his breakthrough, but memories soon returned, and he realized—

"So it’s that!"

"Under Master’s tutelage, there shall be no Middle Method Breakthrough with enlightenment, no Lower Method Limit Breaking through drugs, only the Upper Method Breakthrough, ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’, that is the rightful path!"

Wei Quan remembered that at the Jian Province Competition earlier in the year, his senior brother was about to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough at the master’s direction, but was also interrupted by the master.

Everyone was puzzled then, but afterwards, the master’s Absolute Skill stunned the world, making countless people desire to place their children under his guidance.

"Disciple will surely not disappoint Master’s high hopes!"

Wei Quan echoed what his senior brother had said in the past, eyes filled with anticipation, he voluntarily extended his hands to Yan Chuan.

"..."

This action almost threw Yan Chuan off; he hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh and scold, "Your memory isn’t bad at all."

Good memory.

Quick reflexes.

This third disciple of his is indeed a clever one.

Yan Chuan laughed, immediately grasping Wei Quan’s offered fingers, with a slight shake, causing Wei Quan’s whole body to tremble involuntarily, like a puppet on strings—

"Yes yes yes!"

"This is it!"

Wei Quan shouted inwardly with excitement, closed his eyes, and quietly comprehended.

The onlookers observed that Wei Quan’s tremors were initially large, but as Yan Chuan subtly exerted Fa Force, the amplitude diminished until finally, Wei Quan stood there while all his bones lightly resonated into one—

"Mhmm mhmm mhmm mhmm..."

...

"Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!"

"Marvelous skill!"

Back during the Jian Province Competition, Chen Ze saw Yan Chuan using this technique to train Yu Jinpeng and was amazed by him, a Heavenly Person at that. Seeing it again now, up close, it still felt unbelievable.

The deep, dull sound produced by Yan Chuan shaking Wei Quan’s fingers, akin to a distant thunder rolling across the skies, was unmistakably the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’!

"How is this possible?"

Yu Renjie, Dai Pu, and others were beyond shocked.

They, of course, knew the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’; after all, it was a skill desired by even Limit Extreme Martial Artists below breaking limits.

It is a state achieved after reaching the peak of boxing and attaining the Transformation Realm—

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

The ultimate in boxing!

Pursued without having reached the Limit-breaking.

Why has ’Xingyi Boxing’ spread so widely?

Precisely because it contains Secret Techniques like the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’, which the Eighteen Widespread Boxing Techniques of Guangling Academy lack, hiding the secrets to breaking limits.

However, the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound within Xingyi Boxing requires one’s own practice and comprehension.

To do what Yan Chuan did, employing an outsider’s identity to create ’Lei· Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound’ by shaking someone else’s body, is simply absurd; unheard of!

Yet now!

Before their eyes!

Yan Chuan indeed accomplished it—

"Mhmm mhmm mhmm mhmm..."

Yan Chuan shook Wei Quan, causing resonant sounds within Wei Quan’s body to coalesce into an authentic ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’.

Thus, for nearly half an hour, Yan Chuan finally stopped, leaving Wei Quan with his bones feeling as if they were falling apart, weak and limp, without any strength. Had Yu Renjie not been quick to support him, he would have collapsed on the spot.

Though lacking strength, Wei Quan’s expression was one of extreme exhilaration—

Yes yes yes!

Just like this!

Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough?

Not even a dog would want it!

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

This is truly the trademark of the ’Yan Sect’!

Grateful to the point of tears, Wei Quan had no way to express his feelings; he thought of the stagnation at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, the rapid progress under Master’s guidance over the past year, the solitude and struggle of managing the hall alone for nearly a year, and at this moment, after the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’, Wei Quan’s emotions erupted, and he collapsed, kneeling, choked with excitement, kowtowing and worshiping: "Master! Disciple missed you!"

...

"Good or bad, you’re the head instructor of the Martial Arts Hall, aren’t you ashamed!"

Yan Chuan helped Wei Quan up, chiding him for being embarrassing, but in his heart, he was somewhat moved by Wei Quan’s unabashed longing, recalling how more than a year ago, when his master went out with the escort agency, he too had the same longing and worry as Wei Quan now.

Times change.

Yet this scene, this moment, felt like a cycle, a kind of inheritance, strangely moving.

Yan Chuan helped Wei Quan up, asking, "Has your grandmaster returned recently?"

"He came back once in July, inquiring about the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion," Wei Quan wiped his tears, telling Yan Chuan, "Grandmaster was very happy to know Master had made a name at Cang Mountain, and even took me out drinking. But he left the next day, saying he’s still got things unresolved in the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Still in the Mountain and Sea Realm?

Yan Chuan shook his head, yet he understood his master. Compared to the flourishing martial world, filled with experts and opportunities in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Fifteen States of Great Yan indeed held little appeal. Besides the sentiment of one’s homeland, almost everything was overshadowed by the Mountain and Sea Realm. After witnessing its vastness and excitement, Great Yan seemed increasingly dull and unappealing.

"Are your two senior brothers also over there?"

Yan Chuan asked again.

Wei Quan replied, "They are mostly in the Mountain and Sea Realm, wanting to establish a foundation there, hoping that the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall and the Hundred Flower Palace can grow and thrive. They occasionally return, stopping by Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall to lend support and backing Che Qi in Suanzao Mountain."

Saying this, Wei Quan took a few steps with Yan Chuan, avoiding the view of others, pulling out a Jade Gourd and a small apricot-yellow banner: "This ’Green Blood Gourd’ was a gift from my grandmaster, containing seventy-two Green Blood Swords, to be fed with a drop of blood daily. In critical moments, it resonates with the mind, autonomously protecting the owner, slaying enemies, even unstoppable by limit-breaking. This ’Xinghuang Banner’ was given by senior brother, able to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, when faced with danger, it can be deployed, keeping even a Limit-breaking Seventh Grade at bay for three-quarters of an hour."

Green Blood Gourd!

Xinghuang Banner!

Wei Quan treasures them greatly; it is precisely these two treasures that give him the confidence to manage the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall.

"Not bad."

Yan Chuan looked over them, nodding continuously.

These two are Second Rank Treasures. Though not on par with the ’Golden Tower’, ’Golden Stick’, ’Chasing God Blade’ and other Third Rank Treasures that emerged in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, they are indeed quite suitable for Guangling City, for Wei Quan, for the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall.

Moreover—

...
