CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 415: RETURN FULLY LOADED! _2

"First-time Kill!"

"Divine Skill, Invincible!"

Yan Chuan steadied himself, unleashing a full force attack. Centering on the "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill," he supplemented with both the "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar," engaging in a fierce battle with the Golden Vulture, not losing to Chen Ze moments earlier.

Meanwhile, Chen Ze was not idle—

"Senior Brother!"

"I’m here to help you!"

Chen Ze shouted powerfully; the four swords and two sabers conjured a waterfall of blades and a river of swords. The two attacked in tandem, suppressing the Golden Vulture’s sharp edge, causing it to become enraged and flustered.

With Chen Ze joining forces, Yan Chuan created even more variations. Beyond the three ultimate Eight Realm skills, he also utilized either the "Quanzhen Swordsmanship," the "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship," or the "Positive Yin Swordsmanship," synchronizing perfectly with Chen Ze, thereby significantly enhancing the power of Chen Ze’s Three Heads and Six Arms, and four swords and two sabers.

"Coarse!"

The Golden Vulture fully sobered up, letting out a wail, thoroughly suppressed and beaten, unable to resist anymore.

...

"Punch to attack, grab to seize, sever tendons and dislocate bones, acupoint closure, flexibility, spirit and form like an eagle; this is ’Eagle Claw!’"

"The Earth Dragon Scripture is beneficial in attacking the bottom; the whole body lies firm on the ground with solid wisdom; when stretched, it can bend, but can also stop, bent like a crouching tiger, stretched like a soaring dragon; one can move without leaving a trace, the stretching and contracting concealed; the body is as strong as iron, technique as tight as a rope; majestic like a tiger and leopard, quick like an eaglet. This is ’Drunken Boxing!’"

...

"Punching with fists, clawing back with Eagle Claw, double fists like rain, swift and crisp like a whip, this is ’Eagle Claw.’"

"Body drunk, but spirit not; intentions drunk, but heart not. This is ’Drunken Boxing.’"

...

Yan Chuan, battling the Golden Vulture with Chen Ze, handled the fight with ease. He had time to give a martial arts lecture, talking about ’Eagle Form,’ ’Eagle Claw,’ and ’Drunken Boxing!’

The Golden Vulture is naturally apt for cultivating ’Eagle Form’ and ’Eagle Claw.’ For ten years, it consumed countless Wine Worm Fruits, often in a state of Drunken Life and Dream Death, making ’Drunken Boxing’ quite fitting.

Yan Chuan focused on teaching boxing, but it wasn’t just to teach boxing. More importantly, he wanted to use the teaching to inspire the Golden Vulture to think about its own cultivation. Through "Mutual Teaching and Learning," he aimed to receive feedback, to understand the insights the Golden Vulture gained over the decade aided by the Wine Worm Fruit —

The speed was seventy miles, with a heart feeling free!

"Speed!"

"[God Slaying Feather]!"

Yan Chuan obtained feedback —

[God Slaying Feather]!

The speed secret technique of the Golden Vulture was originally nameless. Through understanding gained from feedback, Yan Chuan boldly named it, believing the name to be quite fitting: "Wings represent speed! God Slaying represents lethality! With its wings, the Golden Vulture executes this technique, embodying both speed and destruction, killing gods and defeating Buddhas in its path!"

Building upon its own talents, living a life of Drunken Life and Dream Death for a full ten years, and benefiting from the Wine Worm Fruit, the Golden Vulture had long escalated this innate secret technique to the Geng Level Skill tier, with a depth of mastery at least at the Seventh Realm, combined with its innate talent, it was outrageously fast.

Alien Beast!

Beast King!

Their minds lacked agility, and in cultivation, they relied heavily on time and innate talent to progress, lagging far behind humans in cultivation growth and skill enhancement.

However, the Golden Vulture was different.

With the aid of the Wine Worm Fruit, its cultivation and skill enhancements far surpassed those of humans.

It was the same decade of arduous cultivation.

Huang Wuniang spent three cycles of three years, taking ten years from basic Innate cultivation to achieving the Innate Third Layer, barely reaching the Seventh Realm in the "Thousand Snake Swordsmanship."

In contrast, the Golden Vulture had achieved Innate Nine Layers! The "God Slaying Feather" between seven and eight realms wasn’t easy to determine, but its power began at the very least in the Eighth Realm.

Strong!

Too strong!

Not only was the Golden Vulture powerful, but its progression speed was astonishing.

Its entire cultivation seemed casually achieved while comprehending various secret techniques.

"First Secret Technique—"

"[God Slaying Feather]!"

"Second Secret Technique—"

Realizing more hidden secrets in the Golden Vulture’s defense through the feedback gained from "Mutual Teaching and Learning," Yan Chuan named this secret technique —

"[Xuan Tie Body]!"

From sinew, bone, skin, and membrane to its feathers, the entire body is as firm as Xuan Tie. This was not Yan Chuan’s illusion; it was indeed a secret technique the Golden Vulture realized by absorbing the Wine Worm Fruit, enabling it to achieve [Xuan Tie Body] by consuming various minerals and through battering its own body, resulting in astonishing defense!

This method!

This technique!

Naturally formed, rough and domineering, yet plain and blunt. Compared to Yan Chuan’s "Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill," it had its marvels, benefiting Yan Chuan greatly.

As for the third secret technique—

"If one day I ascend as Green Emperor, I shall share blossoming with peach blossoms!"

This secret technique was the Golden Vulture’s insight into the way of life bursting forth from observing the blooming and fruiting of the Alcohol Worm Tree, eventually forming. Yan Chuan named it [Green Emperor Secret Skill], where the body is enlightened, and life force within is endless. This paralleled the marvels of Yan Chuan’s "Nine Yang Divine Skill," especially the "Divine Light Scripture."

"’Drunken Boxing’ emphasizes the coordination of the eyes, hands, body, legs, and steps."

"Eye technique includes looking, gaze, sight, and glance."

"Hand Skills encompass jabbing, covering, chopping, stabbing, clawing, taking, plucking, and grabbing."

"Movement technique includes leaning, colliding, squeezing, and brushing."

"Leg technique involves hooking, hanging, winding, clipping, lifting, kicking, flicking, and wrapping."

"Stepping technique includes lifting, dropping, advancing, retreating, shuffling, striking, turning, covering, etc."

"By combining [God Slaying Feather], [Xuan Tie Body], [Green Emperor Secret Skill], let’s reconsider ’Drunken Boxing’—"

...

Yan Chuan lectured on Drunken Boxing, integrating three major secret techniques, while he himself was improving—

[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has improved, Skill Level +1]

[Your ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ has improved, Skill Level +1]

[Your ’Divine Light Scripture’ has improved, Skill Level +3]

...

Inner Strength improvement is not easy.

Enhancing Absolute Skill is no simple task.

Whether it is the Seventh Realm "Nine Yang Divine Skill," the Sixth Realm "Divine Light Scripture," or the Eighth Realm "Wave Riding Micro Steps," every point of Skill Level at the moment is extremely difficult.

Yet at this moment, during the intensive engagement with the Golden Vulture, there was improvement. Even if it was by a tiny amount, Yan Chuan was joyous.

A fierce battle!

Exhilarating!

Yan Chuan and Chen Ze both thoroughly enjoyed the fight, especially Yan Chuan, who fought and lectured simultaneously, revolving around ’Drunken Boxing,’ ’Eagle Form,’ and encompassing the Golden Vulture’s [God Slaying Feather], [Xuan Tie Body], [Green Emperor Secret Skill], along with Chen Ze’s "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship," "Positive Yin Swordsmanship," "Anti Yin Yang Saber Technique." Yan Chuan would lecture on whatever he observed, following no fixed method, doing as he pleased.

Mutual Teaching and Learning!

100% understanding efficiency!

Even if the language was a barrier, under the aid of body movements, the Golden Vulture could achieve a partial understanding, providing some feedback.

If conditions permitted, Yan Chuan would have continued lecturing.

However, after a whole hour since bursting—

"That’s enough!"

A True Seed, energy almost depleted.

Without the support of Burst Seed, it would not be easy for Yan Chuan to withstand the collisions of the Golden Vulture. He could easily become a weak point. If he faltered, Chen Ze alone might also be inadequate.

Therefore—

"Retreat!"

Yan Chuan commanded decisively, stepping "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and shifting to "Spiritual Turtle Step," rocketing head-first with Holy Fire Order Divine Skill—

Boom!

Double elbows crashed, sending the Golden Vulture flying to collide against the wall, tumbling down.

Yan Chuan!

Chen Ze!

Seizing this opportunity, they leapt up swiftly, making a stylish escape from the mountaintop.

This battle, a complete victory!

This campaign, returning with abundant gains!

...

"Phew!"

"Old Wang! This Golden Vulture was too strong; my junior brother and I almost couldn’t handle it!"

Yan Chuan led Chen Ze to regroup with Wang Zhengyi. Reflecting on the Golden Vulture, he still found it formidable.

"I’m not Innate, and can only roughly estimate the strength of these Innate Beast Kings. It’s definitely inaccurate." Wang Zhengyi apologized repeatedly, smiling apologetically at Yan Chuan: "I’ll pick a weaker target next."

"That sounds good."

"Even if we’re sweeping through, despite the allure of treasures, we must balance tension and relaxation, and act within our means."

Yan Chuan chuckled and then unfolded his sleeve: "Come, divide the spoils!"

With a thought.

Hundreds of Wine Worm Fruits piled up, an impressive sight.

"So many!"

Wang Zhengyi’s eyes brightened.

He had long recognized the ’Alcohol Worm Tree’ and the ’Wine Worm Fruit,’ long coveted, long yearned, but his insufficient strength prevented him. Even if he proved the Innate Dao, in the short term, it was impossible to steal the Wine Worm Fruit under the watch of the Golden Vulture.

He thought he would have to wait longer.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chuan and Chen Ze suddenly arrived, allowing him to enjoy the spoils earlier than expected.
