Purple Mist Dao Master
Chapter 756 - 463 1st Stage Cultivation! 2nd Stage Physique! 3rd Stage Burst! 4th Stage Absolute Skill! [2nd Update!]
Yan Chuan recalled the battle where he swiftly killed Ying Li.
At the time, it seemed easy, but it was a combined effort, not the work of Yan Chuan alone.
Could Yan Chuan do it alone?
It’s difficult, difficult, difficult!
Just like the two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals from the Fu Family joining forces with two Third-Rank Divine Generals found it hard to kill Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi didn’t flee into the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ out of fear of those four Divine Generals, nor out of fear of those two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals. Even if they burst forth with power, it would still be difficult to kill Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi feared more of the Fu Family’s Divine Generals in Nanyue Lake.
Four could be dealt with.
Eight could be fought.
But what about ten or twenty?
Couldn’t be fought.
Could only flee.
Yan Chuan is not weak, but facing the unknown number of Fu Family’s Divine Generals, he couldn’t help but feel the pressure. Not just more Fu Family’s Divine Generals, but the burst of those two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals indeed posed a threat to Yan Chuan.
"Second Layer Cultivation."
"Five-Layered Physique."
"Eight Realms Ultimate Skill."
"Still lacking a bit."
Yan Chuan knew that his basic strength was far behind the Fourth-Rank Divine Generals. When the Fourth-Rank Divine Generals are in their normal state, Yan Chuan’s peak burst might be able to contend with one or two, but if the Fourth-Rank Divine Generals burst forth, there’s really no way to fight.
Fourth-Rank Divine Generals—
At least Innate Fifteenth Layer!
Much stronger than Yan Chuan.
First-Rank.
Second-Rank.
Third-Rank.
Fourth-Rank.
There are too many chasms in between.
Yan Chuan shook his head. Although he didn’t engage in a real fight with those two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals in this battle, it ultimately made him realize more about his own shortcomings—
"Eight Realms Ultimate Skill?"
"I have it, others have it too!"
Fourth-Rank Divine Generals!
Especially those from major forces like the Fu Family, almost everyone has a True Skill.
True Skill!
Self Martial!
Surpasses all skills of Yan Chuan.
No need to cultivate to the Eighth Realm Peak, for example, Zhang Tao, whom Yan Chuan encountered in Heavenly Ladder City, cultivated the first Chapter of "Tiger Soul Divine Spear" called ’Nagua Chapter’, comprehending the first ultimate move ’Yin Yang Harmony’, its power equivalent to Late Stage of Absolute Skill Seventh Realm, and understanding the second ultimate move ’Qiankun One Qi’ is approximately the Peak of Seventh Realm of Absolute Skill. Beyond that, understanding the third ultimate move probably equals Absolute Skill Eighth Realm—
"The ’Tiger Soul Divine Spear’ has four Chapters, the first two correspond to the Innate Realm and Peak of Innate Realm, starting from the third Chapter it’s in the realm of War God State."
"The first Chapter ’Nagua Chapter’ has six forms, corresponding to stages First-Rank Divine General, Second-Rank Divine General, Third-Rank Divine General, Fourth-Rank Divine General, Fifth-Rank Divine General, and Fifth-Rank Peak."
"The third form corresponds to the Third-Rank Divine General, its power is equivalent to Early Stage Eighth Realm Absolute Skill."
"The fourth form, Mid Stage Eighth Realm."
"The fifth form, Late Stage Eighth Realm."
"The sixth form, Peak of Eighth Realm."
Calculating like this, the two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals from the Fu Family, who chased Yan Chuan, have cultivated true skills, normally, they should possess the absolute skill power of Mid Stage Eighth Realm.
Although they didn’t make a move, from their burst and movement technique—
"Mid Stage Eighth Realm."
"Not much of a difference."
With this calculation, Yan Chuan’s achievements in "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" at Mid Stage Eighth Realm were dissolved in front of these kinds of Fourth-Rank Divine Generals.
The advantage of absolute skill prowess was negated—
Cultivation could not match them!
True Qi could not match them!
Even besides the ’Fifth-Rank White Horn Trumpet’, Yan Chuan didn’t have a single suitable surprise weapon, how to fight? Fight with one’s head!
Couldn’t fight at all.
"Absolute Skill!"
"Absolute skill prowess!"
"I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, this should be my advantage!"
Yan Chuan thought, and suddenly realized: "Indeed, it is my advantage!" He is just a First-Rank Divine General, yet he can match Fourth-Rank Divine Generals in divine skill and absolute skill achievements, exceeding First-Rank and Second-Rank by a large margin, how is this not an advantage?
It’s just because Yan Chuan often encounters stronger opponents, starting from Second-Rank, Third-Rank, Fourth-Rank Divine Generals, which makes his Eight Realms Ultimate Skill seem lacking.
But the truth is, when his cultivation catches up, and he becomes a Fourth-Rank Divine General, even if these skills no longer progress or move, he can still stand firmly at Fourth-Rank, and even use them at Fifth-Rank without being at the bottom.
"First-rank cultivation."
"Second-rank physique."
"Third-rank burst."
"Fourth-rank absolute skill."
This is Yan Chuan’s current overall strength: "Not bad!"
...
"But I still have a lot of room for improvement." After Yan Chuan’s review, he had a clearer understanding of his current strength, and also more ideas for his future development—
"Cultivation is the shortcoming, but I have already opened up two financial roads ’Original Stone Paving’ and ’Heavenly Ladder Battle’, without lack of money, and with ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ reaching the Eighth Realm, it’s quite simple to improve cultivation. Within a year, I might reach Second-Rank or even higher."
"Physique progresses steadily, with ’Fire Bud Crystal’, once all 211 pieces are refined, it will be a Sixth-Rank Physique, a broad road directly to Sixth-Rank."
"In terms of burst, firstly it depends on my physique strength, the stronger the physique, the more it can endure, the stronger the burst will be. Secondly, it depends on the strength and condensation speed of my ’Nine Yang True Seed’ and ’Divine Light True Seed’. In this regard, mainly the achievements of ’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ and ’Divine Light Scripture’, including the aid of ’Fire Bud Crystal’ and ’three Hao hairs’, the overall direction is positive, and in the future until Sixth-Rank, I can burst out stronger power than cultivation and physique."
"As for absolute skill, this is my forte. Next, I will, on one hand, make more connections with innate experts in Golden Talisman City, sitting and discussing, learning from each other; and on the other hand, give martial arts lectures above cities like Guangming City in Tan Valley Realm to millions of troops and civilians, with a large foundation, feedback will not be short. Lastly is ’Heavenly Ladder City’, battling, spectating, as long as my explanations in the low-end games can make these Divine Generals feel benefited, there will be no concern they will not come to watch or listen, and if they come to watch or listen, they must give me feedback, some might even pay me. And what I need to do is persistently duel, seek more opponents who master true skills, and develop ’friends’ for a sustainable development route!"
By walking on four paths simultaneously, Yan Chuan’s strength changes day by day, and in a year, there will surely be earth-shattering progress.
Then he can go to Sitting Mountain Country to participate in the Genius Battle, see more, and give more lectures, perhaps the ’Sitting Mountain Country Genius Battle’ will also become a platform for Yan Chuan to take off, like the previous ’Guangling City Martial Arts Competition’, ’Jian Province Competition’, ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, and ’Mo Yin Continent’s Royal City Competition’!
Sitting Mountain Country!
Genius Battle!
Yan Chuan anticipates!
...
Yan Chuan returned to Golden Talisman City.
This side.
Nanyue Lake.
A group of Divine Generals gathered outside the ’Ten Dragon Pond’, looking at each other, none dared to enter—
No food, no drink, no air.
Trapping array, killing array, illusion array.
The Ten Dragon Pond is too dangerous.
"Yan Chuan knows that Nanyue Lake is full of our Fu Family’s Divine Generals, he had no way out, panicked and blindly entered the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ to avoid disaster." Fu Liuxing said in a deep voice: "The ’Ten Dragon Pond’ is said to be nine deaths and one life, easy to enter, hard to come out, even if he’s lucky, just by sending two Third-Rank Divine Generals to guard, once discovered, he won’t be able to escape even with wings!"
Fu Liuxing cupped his hands towards the Divine General in charge of the north area of Nanyue Lake, Mr. Fu, recommending: "Fu Huan has had quite a few encounters with Yan Chuan, consecutively causing Fu Manduo and Fu Yuanshan, two Second-Rank Divine Generals, to tragically die at Yan Chuan’s hands. Although incompetent, he is familiar with Yan Chuan. Fu Xixiang was publicly humiliated and ridiculed by Yan Chuan in Nanxiong City in front of the whole city’s troops and civilians, not only losing face of our Fu Family, he himself was furious and hates Yan Chuan to the bone. Let other Divine Generals keep watch, and for a long time, they might slack off, only Fu Xixiang would not!"
Fu Huan, incompetent!
Fu Xixiang, lost face!
Fu Liuxing mercilessly points out flaws, poking where it hurts, in front of more than twenty Divine Generals present.
Fu Xixiang’s face turned a fluctuation of colors.
Fu Huan’s expression remained unmoved, knowing Fu Liuxing was publicly seeking revenge, getting back at Fu Xixiang for pressuring him to risk pursuing Yan Chuan, inadvertently injuring him as well, which showed how Fu Liuxing was also furious.
"I second this!" Fu Xuanyi was the first to agree, he also hated Fu Xixiang, even suggesting: "Fu Xixiang is good at array techniques, perhaps he can personally enter the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ to drag Yan Chuan out!"
Fu Xuanyi was even more malicious!
"Forget about going in." Mr. Fu waved his hand, he had to calm the anger of the two Fourth-Rank Divine Generals to some extent: "Fu Huan, Fu Xixiang, you two shall keep watch here until Yan Chuan comes out."
"What if Yan Chuan dies in there?" Fu Huan asked.
"We need to see the person alive or the body dead." Mr. Fu’s face darkened: "Even if Yan Chuan dies inside, keep watch without seeing the body for one day, one day you stand guard. If you don’t see it for a year, guard for a year! Ten years? Guard for ten years! Understand?"
"Yes!"
Fu Huan and Fu Xixiang dared not speak further.
The surrounding Divine Generals were also silent as cicadas in winter, this was tantamount to exiling the two Divine Generals here, confining them to a limited area. Although outside of ’Ten Dragon Pond’, it became their prison.
However, the Divine Generals all understood, Mr. Fu was just speaking tough. Although Fu Huan and Fu Xixiang did wrong, especially Fu Xixiang losing the Fu family a great deal of face, regardless, it was because of their conflict with Yan Chuan in Nanyue Lake that the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ was discovered by the Divine Generals of Fu Manduo’s line and the greatest credit was stolen by someone else, otherwise, they wouldn’t even have any fault!
Unfortunate!
Too unlucky!
...
"I’ve found a corner in the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ to barely settle down, sending word of safety to you first." Yan Chuan continued to cultivate while waiting for news from Wang Zhengyi, and about an hour later, the ’Monkey King Avatar’ in North Mansion opened its eyes, finally bringing good news.
"Glad to hear you’re safe." A big stone fell from Yan Chuan’s heart.
But——
"Can you get out?" Yan Chuan worried.
"Even if I could, now is not the time." Wang Zhengyi shook his head: "I didn’t dare to try."
Normally unexpectedly entering the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ is a narrow escape, if one can luckily come out, that’s sheer good luck, but now even thinking with a toe, one knows there must be Fu Family’s Divine Generals guarding outside the ’Ten Dragon Pond’, if Wang Zhengyi accidentally walked out, it would be a path of death.
