Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 12: New Task: Tiger Crane Double Forms!
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: New Task: Tiger Crane Double Forms!
"Guangling Academy has been established for eight years, which means that Cui Lanxin has been practicing 'Fu Family Boxing' for no more than eight years. And me? I've been learning martial arts for twenty years! If I can surpass her, what's there to be proud of?"
Yan Chuan looked at Wei Quan: "You've been practicing martial arts for three years. In another five years, can you dare to say you have her skills and can master 'Ten Forms Boxing'?"
"Heh!"
"As long as Senior Brother gives me guidance every day, I think it won't take five years, at most one or two years, and Master should teach me 'Iron Wire Fist'!"
Wei Quan spoke with confidence, feeling quite good about himself.

In these ten days, with the 50% comprehension efficiency boost from 'Mutual Teaching and Learning', Wei Quan's progress, though not as fast as Yan Chuan's, was indeed not slow.
"Don't get carried away!"
Yan Chuan couldn't be bothered with him; he sighed to Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang, "Guangling Academy indeed has some tricks. It's only been eight years since its founding, and any three people they send out are figures of importance. I've heard of the Seven Star Boxing Club; their leader is called 'Zhong Le,' known as 'Boxing Four Directions,' and has practiced 'Fu Family Boxing' to a level that surpasses predecessors. Below him are Four Guardians, each deeply studying 'Fu Family Boxing.' Three years ago, at the martial arts competition, one of the Four Guardians, 'Thousand-Mile Chasing Wind Godly Shadowless Skill' Teng Siqian, defeated the Songhe Sect's top talent, Zhang Ying. His 'Golden Gauze Skill' was broken, and he has been in decline ever since. Afterward, the Songhe Sect moved closer to Guangling Academy, almost swallowed by it."
Leader of the Seven Stars Society.
Four Guardians.
All are top-notch experts.
And people like Cui Lanxin, who are not even considered high-level, already possess such abilities. One can imagine the strength of the Seven Star Boxing Club.
Moreover, within Guangling Academy, there are dozens of private organizations like the Seven Star Boxing Club.
"Without learning at Guangling Academy, it's hard to imagine how many experts are inside."
"Even if learning inside, ordinary disciples find it hard to meet high-level new faction martial artists."
In Yan Chuan's view, Guangling Academy has long been a place where dragons and tigers gather.
Jin Yutang, listening to Yan Chuan's account of the Seven Star Boxing Club and Guangling Academy, showed a sparkle in his eyes: "I didn't expect Senior Brother to know so much about Guangling Academy!"
He had always thought the Senior Brother, like the Master, was an old stubborn who rigidly adhered to old traditions, refusing to look outward.
But now it seems.
At least this Senior Brother is not blind; he is opening his eyes to see the world.
"Just hearsay, that's all."
Yan Chuan smiled, not delving further.
He thought of Cui Lanxin and then of Mei Suping, "In ten days, Mei Suping will return, and she won't be so easy to deal with. To handle her, I must make more preparations."
Thinking thus.
Yan Chuan glanced at the 'Derivation Skill'—
[Task Two]
[R&D Project Name: Wave Wrapping Skill (Difficulty: Gui★★)]
[Inspiration: 100]
[Completing the task can earn 'Experience +20' and 'Spiritual +20'.]
...
In the past ten days, Yan Chuan easily created a total of seventeen martial arts, including 'Flying Leg' and 'Roof and Wall Walking Skill,' among which were fourteen 'one-star' martial arts and three 'two-star' martial arts.
Today, the eighteenth martial art, 'Wave Wrapping Skill,' is also 'two-star.'
The difficulty is higher.
But it can also be achieved in one day.
'Iron Arm Skill', 'Pushing Mountain Palm', 'Pai Da Skill', 'Leg-Kicking Skill', 'Thousand-Pound Gate', 'Foot Shooting Skill', 'Snake Formation Skill', 'Soft Bone Skill', 'Golden Shovel Finger', 'Iron Knee Skill', 'Iron Bull Skill', 'Whirlwind Palm', 'Bamboo Leaf Hand', 'Loach Skill', 'Flipping Skill', 'Iron Cloth Shirt Skill', 'Flying Leg', 'Roof and Wall Walking Skill', 'Wave Wrapping Skill'.
"Eighteen Absolute Skills."
"Temporarily enough."
"In the next ten days, I need to develop one or two ultimate moves that can boost my combat power in a short time."
Yan Chuan already had a specific plan.
He first settled the task of 'Wave Wrapping Skill' and then created a new R&D task—
...
At noon the next day.
Yan Chuan went to see Cheng Fengxiao: "Master, good news! The Martial Arts Hall has gained more than ten new disciples."
Yesterday, he first demonstrated and then used Cui Lanxin from Guangling Academy as an example, which worked wonders.
Among the twenty-some people who came, ten joined on the spot, and nine more came today. The Martial Arts Hall disciples increased by nineteen in just two days, greatly boosting the hall's popularity.
The Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall revived!
But Cheng Fengxiao was still hard to rouse.
"From now on, you take charge of the hall; there's no need to report to me." Although Cheng Fengxiao remained clean and tidy in appearance, his spirits were low, with a pale complexion. During these days, he reviewed his life, especially the past ten years, and the more he thought, the more perplexed he became.
Yesterday, Cheng Wenlong and Cheng Ah Bi returned; the son was taciturn and the daughter explosive at the slightest provocation, leaving Cheng Fengxiao furious after a brief exchange, ending in unhappiness.
After the children left, Cheng Fengxiao appeared even more solitary and uninterested in anything.
This can't continue!
Yan Chuan came before his master: "While practicing the 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' a few days ago, I suddenly had an inspiration. I was thinking if I could combine the 'strength' and 'form' of the Tiger and the 'posture' and 'intent' of the Crane to create a new set of boxing, enriching 'Cheng Family Boxing.' I wish to ask Master for guidance."
...
[Task Two]
[R&D Project Name: Tiger Crane Double Forms (Difficulty: Gui★★★★★)]
[Inspiration: 9]
[Completing the task can earn 'Experience +160' and 'Spiritual +160'.]
...
Tiger Crane Double Forms!
This is Yan Chuan's ultimate move against Mei Suping!
By combining and innovating on the foundation of 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing,' with Yan Chuan's expertise in these two martial arts, the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' would not require too much difficulty to master and use for combat, becoming a powerful hidden ace.
"Tiger Form Boxing."
"Crane Form Boxing."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Fengxiao was finally moved. He looked at Yan Chuan, furrowing his brow: "You are still young; it is most important to concentrate on deeply studying the existing boxing techniques. Each of these boxing styles is the crystallization of predecessors' efforts, containing countless mysteries deeply hidden, and hard to exhaust in a lifetime. As for creating your own boxing, wait until you're in your thirties, having mastered all 'Ten Forms Boxing' and 'Iron Wire Fist.' On that basis, trying then wouldn't be too late."
Ultimately, Cheng Fengxiao, despite feeling dispirited, didn't want to see his disciple go astray.
But how could he know that in just ten days, the once-troublesome disciple had attained enlightenment!
Hearing these words, Yan Chuan didn't argue back, instead said: "Recently, I've made great progress in practicing 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing.' I would like to perform it once for you, Master, and ask for any corrections."
Yan Chuan wanted Cheng Fengxiao to perk up.
At the same time, he needed to develop the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' as quickly as possible, and even create other advanced boxing techniques on the base of 'Cheng Family Boxing,' to have a sure win against Mei Suping ten days later.
Building a car behind closed doors is difficult.
He must leverage 'Mutual Teaching and Learning.'
And Cheng Fengxiao, who mastered 'Cheng Family Boxing,' was the best source for Yan Chuan to exploit.
Without waiting for Cheng Fengxiao to refuse or agree, Yan Chuan assumed a stance and began to perform 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing'.
