CHAPTER 678: CHAPTER 419: BLACK BUTCHER PROVES DAO!_2

Among those watching were not only the Baili family’s own members, but also the Master of the Fire Cloud Restaurant, Black Butcher, and his two disciples who had not yet left after organizing the banquet.

The three master and disciples were also watching and listening—

"Facing the enemy is like being burned by fire, attack and advance without hindrance."

"Boxing Three Joints Invisible, if you see the shape and shadow, it is not true skill."

"Rise like the wind, fall like an arrow, knocking down is not fast enough."

...

This is ’Xingyi Boxing’.

"The Three Tops, Three Clasps, Three Circles, Three Poisons, Three Holds, Three Hangings, Three Curves, Three Straightenings, this is the ’Three Body Formation’."

"What are the Three Tops, the head pushes upwards with the grandeur of rising to the sky, the head is the master of the whole body, pushing upward makes the three later stages easily passable, arm Qi reaches up to the Mud Pill to nourish the spirit. The palms push outward with the strength to push mountains, then Qi penetrates the whole body and power reaches the limbs. The tongue raises up, with the image of a lion’s roar swallowing an elephant, it can guide the ascending kidney Qi downwards returning to the Dantian to strengthen life, this is called the Three Tops."

"What are the Three Clasps, the shoulders must clasp, so the front chest is broad, Qi Power reaches the elbows. The backs of hands and feet must clasp, so Qi Power reaches the hands, piling steps strengthen the force. Teeth must clasp, so the muscle and bone tighten, this is called the Three Clasps."

...

This is ’Xingyi Training Method’.

"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"

Black Butcher’s eyes sparkled with endless joy and excitement. He didn’t know which level of Martial Arts Baili Changjing’s distinguished guest’s ’Xingyi Boxing’ belonged to, even if it was just an ordinary Earth-level Secret Scripture, it was still a great opportunity according to Yan Chuan.

In the pursuit of Martial Arts—

Secret manual!

Method!

These are certainly important, but after all, they are dead.

Having a secret manual, having a method, those are not enough, you must also have a Master to guide you consistently.

Two people cultivate the same volume of Earth-level Secret Scripture—

One has a Master!

One trains by themselves!

If the two people’s age, aptitude, and other conditions are the same, then, undoubtedly, the former will progress faster.

And Masters also vary in quality, there are differences between the wise and the mediocre, between those who can teach and those who cannot.

Black Butcher has managed the Fire Cloud Restaurant for years, stuck at the Peak State for a long time; he has prepared banquets many times for Baili Qingfeng and various Innates of Nanxiong City, and even foreign Innates have come by reputation, specifically naming him to cook.

Being close to the water first to obtain the moon.

Relying on his Divine culinary skill, and the love from the Innates, Black Butcher can occasionally consult with those Innate Divine Generals who enjoy the food happily, feeling like he has made great progress at those times.

But the road from Peak State to the Innate Realm is too long—

Dantian expansion!

Qi Sea fortification!

Touching the Limit!

Divine into Dantian!

Qi and God Combined!

Sky-reaching and Earth-penetrating!

True Qi Origin!

Black Butcher has struggled, his resources from managing the restaurant are not poor, and he’s able to occasionally consult with Innate Grandmasters, his conditions are not bad. But even so, he still remains stuck at the ’Dantian Limit’, stuck at the ’Divine into Dantian’, ’Qi and God Combined’, unable to break through.

Even with Innate guidance, Black Butcher is still confused.

The Innate is indeed powerful!

The explanations are profound and unpredictable!

But what’s the use if Black Butcher can’t understand?

But right now, Yan Chuan is different.

Black Butcher’s ears perked up, his heart surged, as he listened to Yan Chuan teaching boxing, explaining ’Xingyi Boxing’, regardless of whether this ’Xingyi Boxing’ is Earth-level, Heavenly level, or Human level, at this moment, explained in detail by the Innate Divine General, it is even more enticing than Heavenly Level Secret Techniques or Divine True Skills, more thorough and brilliant than any Innate Divine General Black Butcher had consulted with before.

"Shoulders and hips in harmony, elbows and knees in harmony, hands and feet in harmony."

"Heart and Intent Harmony, Yi and Qi are in Harmony, Qi and Force Integration."

"Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!"

"Splitting Fist, one rise and fall of Qi!"

"Beng Fist, one rush and return of Qi!"

"Drilling Fist, one top and bottom of Qi."

"Cannon Fist, one opening and closing of Qi!"

"Cross Fist, one gathering of Qi!"

"So that’s how it is!"

"So that’s how it is!"

Black Butcher listened to the lecture, suddenly enlightened.

Hear the Dao in the morning, you may die in the evening!

Black Butcher’s presence was first noticed by the two disciples beside him—

"Master he—"

Suo Zi’s eyes widened, he seemed to sense something.

On the other side, Mo Yuxin was even more excited: "Master! Master is about to break through!"

Black Butcher breaking through again?

Peak State breaking through again?

Then, then, then!

Wouldn’t that be the Innate Realm!?

"Master is becoming a Divine General?!"

Suo Zi and Mo Yuxin were ecstatic with joy.

Especially Suo Zi, who grew up in the tribe together with his brother Suoyun, and came to Nanxiong City at the same time. Suoyun joined one of the ’Two Sects’, the Cangyuan Sect, long having broken through to the late stage of Limit-breaking, becoming a direct disciple under Ji Hong, the leader of the four commanders of the Cangyuan Army.

Ji Hong is also in the Peak State.

In terms of cultivation, Black Butcher and Ji Hong are the same.

In terms of reputation, Black Butcher’s title of ’Nanxiong City Food God’ is greater than Ji Hong’s title of ’Cangyuan Army Commander’.

But—

In terms of real power!

In terms of background!

In terms of future!

In terms of prestige!

Black Butcher is far inferior to Ji Hong.

Therefore, Suoyun naturally looked down on his younger brother Suo Zi, often persuading Suo Zi to abandon the Fire Cloud Restaurant and join the Cangyuan Sect, frequently going to the Fire Cloud Restaurant to dine with friends, calling and ordering his brother around as if he were nothing.

But now it’s different—

"Master broke through!"

"Innate Divine General!"

"This is one of the few in the entire Nanxiong City, and even the vast Cangyuan Sect has only one Innate Divine General. Although Ji Hong has high status and fame, he is already old and has no hope of breaking through."

"Big brother!"

"In the end, I made the right choice!"

Suo Zi had a happy thought!

...

"Huh?"

Time slipped away unnoticed as Yan Chuan lectured on martial arts, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

As night fell.

Black Butcher began to stir—

"Brother Baili!"

"I didn’t expect that in our sparring, while I was teaching boxing here, this Black Butcher could actually take that last step."

Yan Chuan had given the lecture on ’Xingyi Boxing’ three times and actually sensed Black Butcher’s movement early on, even secretly enhancing his Experience to assist him, but Yan Chuan himself did not expect Black Butcher to actually break through!

Peak State!

Innate Realm!

From now on, things will be different.

Just a moment ago, an Innate Grandmaster like Baili Changjing could summon Black Butcher at will, but from now on—

"If you want to taste his craft, I’m afraid it’s not that easy anymore!"

Baili Changjing’s forehead was sweating, not because of Black Butcher’s proving the Dao, but because the pressure from sparring with Yan Chuan was too great.

Yet he was filled with exhilaration from the fight, feeling that in his exchanges with Yan Chuan, whether it was Yan Chuan’s moves or his explanations, they always hit the right spot, making him unable to stop.

To the point that, unknowingly, they ended up sparring for a whole afternoon.

Beyond comparison!

Beyond comparison indeed!

To this point, Baili Changjing finally understood why Yan Chuan could subdue those three Innate Beast Kings—

No other reason!

Just an iron fist!

But, the shock from sparring with Yan Chuan, the awe of Yan Chuan’s boxing skills, all had to make way for Black Butcher proving the Dao at this point—

"This person is foolish!"

"He asked me for advice several times, and it was difficult to teach him."

"I originally concluded he would have difficulty breaking through in this life, but didn’t expect that after listening to Brother Yan’s teaching, he would have this creation!"

"Black Butcher!"

"He owes you thanks!"

Baili Changjing gazed at the distant Black Butcher proving the Dao, his feelings were complicated—

This cook!

Has proven the Dao!

With Yan Chuan ahead and Black Butcher behind.

The dynamics in Nanxiong City might change again.

However—

"As long as big brother is still alive, our Baili family will remain unshaken!"

Yan Chuan, Black Butcher are only newly Innate, initially not considered significant; the true stable pattern of Nanxiong City cannot be disturbed, as the Baili family is not solely upheld by Baili Changjing, the entire prestigious family owes its current status to Baili Changjing’s big brother who was an early Second-Rank Divine General, two years ago reappearing as a Third-Rank Divine General!

Third-Rank Divine General!

Highly important!

Even in King City, he is a top master of significant influence, let alone in Nanxiong City, essentially the sky, his every move and word can influence the layout of Nanxiong City.

If this Third-Rank Divine General were in the city more often, the Baili family’s status would be even greater.

Therefore, for Baili Changjing, for the Baili family—

Yan Chuan.

Black Butcher.

Newly Innate, worth befriending, but no need to fawn over.

Quite the contrary—

...
