CHAPTER 675: CHAPTER 418: 100 LI!

Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, they have strength.

Wang Zhengyi controls the Iron-Armed Monkey Group, with hundreds and thousands of monkeys as his eyes.

The three join forces!

Sweep across Nanyue!

Yan Chuan is not in a hurry to join the Lishan Sect, nor is he eager to return to the Tan Valley Royal City. He enjoys his time at Nanyue Lake, sparring and competing with various Beast Kings and exploring and utilizing countless rare treasures.

Rare treasures, enhancing cultivation.

Innate Beast Kings, honing martial arts.

At Nanyue Lake, Yan Chuan seems to have returned to the beginning, just like the time in the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall in July two years ago when he awakened the ’Purple Mist Palace,’ following a similar rhythm—

Practice martial arts!

Spar!

Teach boxing!

Sitting at the Martial Arts Hall, constantly improving, finding joy in it.

This time it’s similar, only the training content has changed from the ’Tiger Form Boxing,’ ’Crane Form Boxing,’ and a series of ’Cheng Family Boxing’ to unimaginable Divine Skills like "Nine Yang Divine Skill," "Divine Light Scripture," "Six Meridian Divine Sword," and "Wave Riding Micro Steps."

The opponents have also changed from the elites of Guangling Academy and the old school martial masters of Guangling City to the various Innate Beast Kings of Nanyue Lake.

The students he teaches boxing to are now the Iron-Armed Monkey Group instead of the Martial Arts Academy disciples.

The third-level "Mutual Teaching and Learning," teaching people and teaching beasts is the same.

Yan Chuan has long fused ’professor’ with ’martial arts’; teaching boxing is practicing boxing, giving a martial arts lecture is practicing martial arts, becoming skilled and adept.

But improving cultivation is much more challenging.

After proving the Dao and reaching the Innate Realm, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and sinew, bone, skin, and membrane are incredibly difficult to cultivate.

On one hand, the Internal Cultivation Methods must be superior, and fire control cannot be too shallow.

On the other hand, rare treasures are indispensable; having them or not makes a world of difference.

Yan Chuan wants to make vigorous progress in the Innate Realm; mere hard work is the lowest approach, while active pursuit and contending with the grand Dao is the highest approach.

Contend for treasure!

Contend for life!

Everything begins from Nanyue Lake!

...

"Closed door cultivation for three months, finally mastered the tenth sword of ’Golden Wind Fifteen Swords,’" Baili Bikon Technique "also has significant progress, whether in movement technique, speed, or swordsmanship lethality, I am no longer the same."

"Silver Armored Horned Python!"

"Replenishing Essence Mushroom!"

"This time, I will surely suppress the Beast King and seize the Replenishing Essence Mushroom!"

Baili Changjing strides meteorically toward the depths of Nanyue Lake.

Nanyue Lake.

Wanxi Mountain.

The Silver Armored Horned Python curled up in the cave, licking its newly grown scale armor.

Suddenly.

"Monster python! Come out!"

A loud shout from outside the cave.

The Silver Armored Horned Python shuddered, but soon calmed down—

The sound is wrong!

Its eyes suddenly turned sinister and fierce, like a flood dragon suddenly leaping out—

Whoosh!

What a great python!

With shimmering silver scales, a horn on its head, resembling a flood dragon.

As soon as it came out, seeing Baili Changjing, it was first dazed, then recognized—

"Hiss~"

What nonsense!

Turns out it’s not that killer!

Does it really think anyone can bully me?

The Silver Armored Horned Python, good at hopping even without feet, folded and coiled, instantly attacking Baili Changjing.

Baili Changjing held his sword, full of confidence—

"Golden Wind First Sword, Gentle Breeze!"

"Golden Wind Second Sword, Evening Wind!"

"Hmm?"

"Something’s wrong!"

"Golden Wind Seventh Sword, Cold Wind!"

"Golden Wind Ninth Sword, Gang Wind!"

Baili Changjing frowned. He originally intended to use this Silver Armored Horned Python to verify ’Golden Wind Fifteen Swords’ from start to finish. However, unexpectedly, while his own progress was considerable, the Silver Armored Horned Python also learned some tricks—

"Good at hopping without feet, entering the hole when seen, folding and coiling, curving and stretching naturally."

"Snake Head Fist?"

"Snake Head Palm?"

"Snake Tongue Palm?"

"Snake Head Finger?"

"Snake Tongue Finger?"

Baili Changjing, well-read in identifying martial arts of the world, noticed that compared to previous fights when the Silver Armored Horned Python relied solely on its combat instincts, this time it had more techniques, using every part of its body as a weapon, and vaguely, in the head-shaking, tail-wagging, tongue-swallowing, and tongue-extending movements, one could see hints of fists, palms, and finger changes, doing as it pleased—

Shrewd and sinister!

Acupoint hitting!

"Is this ’Snake Fist’?"

Baili Changjing was startled.

Keep fighting!

Keep watching!

The more he fought and watched, the more astonished he became—

’Snake Head Fist’ was fast and agile, with ease of movement!

’Snake Head Palm’ was easy to launch and retract, faster, primarily attacking in close range with short bursts and high lethality!

’Snake Tongue Palm’ was strong and powerful, with greater attack range, striking far and wide with high lethality, and the Power Skill changes were many. In addition to Direct Force stabbing, it could chop, slice, cut, sweep, press, and slap.

"Poison Snake Covering!"

"Poison Snake Strike Pearl!"

"Poison Snake Stabbing Acupoint!"

The Silver Armored Horned Python attacked consecutively, shocking Baili Changjing. This Beast King had tough skin and thick flesh, with scale armor for protection, an extremely strong physique. Initially, it could exert terrible abilities just based on instinct alone, and before his swordsmanship improved, Baili Changjing was not even a match.

Now, seemingly mastering ’Snake Fist,’ the Silver Armored Horned Python finally unleashed the terrifying power of its strong physique completely.

In terms of martial arts—

In Baili Changjing’s view, Snake Fist was actually ordinary.

However, even such ordinary martial arts exhibited power similar to ’Grand Ancestor Chang Quan’ in Qiao Feng’s hands, posing more than twice the threat to Baili Changjing.

He originally thought that after significant progress in swordsmanship, he could crush the Silver Armored Horned Python. Who knew that this creature seemed enlightened, with even more significant improvement!

Baili Changjing gradually fell behind, secretly resenting: "If only Uncle and Big Brother were here, this wouldn’t have happened!"

He began to harbor thoughts of retreat.

But then—

"Hiss~"

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The Silver Armored Horned Python suddenly emitted sharp hisses, and out of the cold pool ahead suddenly leaped a giant crocodile, splashing water and charging towards Baili Changjing.

"Green Water Crocodile?"

Baili Changjing was shocked.

Another Innate Beast King!

He was puzzled—

How can there be two tigers on one mountain?

There’s already a Beast King, the Silver Armored Horned Python, in Wanxi Mountain. How can there be another, the Green Water Crocodile?
