Chapter 784: Chapter 491 Level 4 "Mutual Teaching and Learning": Climbing the Tech Tree?!

Besides, in terms of absolute skills, thanks to "Mutual Teaching and Learning," each skill has progressed rapidly. As long as Yan Chuan has invested effort and energy, he can easily reach the Eighth Realm.

However, it is exceedingly difficult to progress further after the Eighth Realm!

Yan Chuan must prioritize -

"’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ is crucial for survival and progresses the fastest with Ding Xiang as this ’human-shaped external device,’ always being my top priority."

"’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ is most used in martial arts lectures, receiving the most feedback, ranking second."

"’Holy Fire Order Divine Skill’ is a side path with limited potential, not worth occupying too much energy."

"’Dugu Nine Swords’ and ’Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand’ are of the same type. The more hand techniques and swordsmanship you encounter and master, the greater the progress of these two absolute skills, aligning well with my cultivation model focused on ’Mutual Teaching and Learning.’ They can be tied for third. In the future, I might merge them, further integrating ’Little Faceless Skill’ to develop a Self Martial True Skill encompassing hand techniques, boxing, swordsmanship, etc., focusing on one without dispersing efforts."

"’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ has the strongest overall capabilities as my foundation. ’Divine Light Scripture’ serves as a medical classic to cultivate vitality, while ’Qiankun Great Shifting’ excels at unlocking potential and tempering True Yuan. These three can also merge, using them as a foundation to integrate all into the Self Martial True Skill ’Washing Marrow Scripture,’ becoming my root method!"

"’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’ strengthens the physique and tempers qi power. ’Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill’ emphasizes inner and cross refining. Combining the two and further incorporating ’Golden Bell Shield’ from ’Nine Yin Scripture,’ these three form a Self Martial True Skill focused on cross refining."

...

As Yan Chuan develops more and more absolute skills and broadens his horizons, accumulating deeper insights, he gradually gains both the ideas and capabilities to transcend these methods, achieving true skill through fusion and derivation.

’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ + ’Ladder Cloud Jump’ + ’Shadowy Charm’ + ’Heaven and Earth Net Formation’ = True Skill ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’!

’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ + ’Lion Roar’ + ’Vajra Zen Lion Roar’ = True Skill ’Ksitigarbha Lion Roar’!

’Dugu Nine Swords’ + ’Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand’ + ’Little Faceless Skill’ = True Skill ’Little Faceless Skill’!

’Nine Yang Divine Skill’ + ’Divine Light Scripture’ + ’Qiankun Great Shifting’ + ’Washing Marrow Scripture’ = True Skill ’Washing Marrow Scripture’!

’Dragon Elephant Wisdom’ + ’Vajra Unbreakable Body Divine Skill’ + ’Golden Bell Shield’ = True Skill ’Golden Bell Shield’!

Therefore -

Lightweight Body Technique!

Lion Roar Skill!

Martial Arts Techniques!

Internal Cultivation Methods!

Cross Refining of Physique!

In these five aspects, Yan Chuan has a foundation and true skill, achieving great success in his foundation.

However, developing true skills isn’t easy, just look at the difficulty of ’Washing Marrow Scripture’ and ’72 Transformations.’

"Perhaps, once I cultivate each of these absolute skills to the peak of the Eighth Realm, achieving the pinnacle of pinnacles, I can then merge and develop them further, perhaps halving the effort and doubling the speed."

As for the Ninth Realm?

Return to Simplicity?

Yan Chuan is not too hopeful for now: "Achieving the peak of the Eighth Realm is already challenging. Cultivating an absolute skill to the Ninth Realm might be as challenging as developing a true skill."

Or it might be that, cultivating an absolute skill to the Ninth Realm Return to Simplicity after reaching the pinnacle, it will likely no longer fall under the Geng Level Absolute Skill category but instead enter the domain of Self Martial True Skill.

Absolute Skill!

Return to Simplicity!

This ’truth’ -

"Could it be the ’truth’ of ’true skill’?"

...

Yan Chuan reflects on himself along the way, clarifying his path forward.

He travels steadily but not slowly.

With ’Purple Gold Battle Boots’ on his feet, maintaining a speed of 300 meters per second with ease, in half an hour he can cross half of Jian Province, spanning a thousand miles, arriving at Northwest Yellow Mound Mountain.

Wei Buqun has been waiting for a long time.

...

"Beyond Yellow Mound Mountain is Yanxi. This vast territory borders Jian Province, Peng State, Qingzhou, Nizhou, and Mu State. Martial Artists from the Five States up to the Fifteen States take pride in traversing Yanxi. Hard Cultivators also enter to temper themselves, hoping to advance further," Wei Buqun says to Yan Chuan as they cross Yellow Mound Mountain, officially entering Yanxi.

Yanxi’s terrain from south to north can be divided into three types -

The south is primal jungle.

The middle is a loess plateau.

The north is desert and Gobi.

To travel from Jian Province to Mu State, one must cross these three major terrains.

Yan Chuan and Wei Buqun, taking Wei Lingshan along, travel two hours daily. Once time is up, Yan Chuan seeks a place for cultivation, actually using the ’Monkey King Avatar’ to return to Tan Valley, entering Heavenly Ladder City for study and martial arts lectures. Unwaveringly, his ’Derivation Skill’ experience and Spiritual grow from lengthy martial arts lectures every day.

Delaying even a day results in at least 400,000 Spiritual and 400,000 Experience in losses. Even when planning to lecture in Black Hawk Territory, Yan Chuan won’t compromise on this due to Wang Zhengyi’s ’Soul Channel,’ which facilitates seamless cross-regional movement.

Only the first day of the journey -

[Experience: 10.02 million]

...

"’Derivation Skill’ just upgraded on April 13th."

"Today is May 9th."

In less than a month, ’Experience’ surpasses 10 million again. With an eight-task progression line of Level Four ’Derivation Skill,’ Yan Chuan earns at least 400,000 Experience and 400,000 Spiritual daily, amassing too quickly, making upgrading simple.

This time, without any hesitation -

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level Three): Your explanations improve the comprehension efficiency of listeners by 100%, and their comprehension and thoughts are fed back to you, granting you corresponding ’Experience.’ You can select listeners, choosing who may or may not listen to your lectures.]

(To advance to the next level, you need to consume 10 million Experience.)

...

"Upgrade!"

A million Experiences, leveling up once more.

["Mutual Teaching and Learning" (Level Four): Your explanations improve the comprehension efficiency of listeners by 125%, and their comprehension and thoughts are fed back to you, granting you corresponding ’Experience.’ You can select listeners to choose who may or may not listen to your lectures. You can trigger ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ through recording, video, or audio, with effects varying based on completeness, authenticity, spatial differences, and temporal shifts.]

(To advance to the next level, you need to consume 1 billion Experience.)

...

"Level Four!"

"Mutual Teaching and Learning!"

Yan Chuan quickly scans the updated features, feeling a burst of excitement -

["You can trigger ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ through recording, video, or audio."]

"Recording?"

"Video?"

"Audio?"

Yan Chuan anticipated that Level Four ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ would boost the comprehension efficiency for listeners to 125% and expected an increase in the daily maximum of Experience gained. He also considered that Level Four might bring more changes to the listeners.

But he never expected -

"It actually turned out to be this!"

This update significantly enhances ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ strengthening Yan Chuan: "In the past, whether lecturing in Heavenly Ladder City or the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was always real-time, requiring me to be present to speak."

Yet, Yan Chuan, as one person, cannot be in two places at once. For instance, when lecturing in Black Hawk Territory, even with Wang Zhengyi’s ’Soul Channel’ enabling easy cross-regional travel between Tan Valley Realm, he could not engage the Independent Practitioner Alliance at Five Blessings City.

On another front.

Yan Chuan, when lecturing in Heavenly Ladder City, could not simultaneously engage with audiences in the Tan Valley Army, Tan Valley Realm, Independent Practitioner Alliance, etc.

One person!

One mouth!

There’s only so much he can manage.

This efficiency is thanks to Yan Chuan cultivating ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ to the Eighth Realm and enhancing the ’White Horn Trumpet’ to Fifth-rank. Without them, he could not lecture to tens of thousands to millions in a city at the same time, requiring delays.

Even having these, Yan Chuan’s limit was just one city, approximately tens of thousands to millions of people.

Now it’s different!

"Level Four ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’!"

"Recording!"

"Video!"

"Audio!"

"Even if I’m absent, leaving audio or video can still facilitate lectures. If my ’image’ is present in every city, marketplace, or even household in all of Great Yan’s Fifteen States, lecturing daily, then this means forty million people listen daily, even if ’effects vary based on completeness, authenticity, spatial differences, and temporal shifts,’ the continuous momentum ensures that even with only a one percent effect, it’s as if I’m lecturing to four million people daily!"

One Great Yan, forty million people!

In Tan Valley Realm, over ten million!

In Black Hawk Territory, thirty million!

Also in Hunxi Territory, forty-five million.

And Danhu Realm, nearly a hundred million.

Including the entire Jinze Region!

And the entire South Continent!

Then to Mo Yin Continent!

Further to Thirteen Regions!

"How many people?"

"Impossible to count!"

Contemplating the prospects of Level Four ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ Yan Chuan finds it breathtakingly wonderful.

Don’t mention the Thirteen Regions.

Forget about Mo Yin Continent.

Even with just the South Continent, how many nations? How many King Cities? How many people?

One billion?

Ten billion?

One hundred billion?

Or a trillion?

Incalculable!

Not countable! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But these are all Yan Chuan’s target audience, forming his Experience Pool.

No need to travel through each King City or country, avoiding such time and energy consumption. By simply producing ’audio-visual products’ and distributing them, even giving them away for free, the broader their reach, the faster Yan Chuan grows.

Once ’audio-visual products’ like ’Yan Chuan’s Lecture on Xingyi Boxing’ become popular in the Thirteen Regions, Yan Chuan could sit at home, receiving feedback like an ocean wave, empowering him to become a War God, an Overlord, and eventually a more formidable Martial Arts Great Power.

The premise is ——

...

"First comes technology."

"Second comes promotion."

The technology is that of ’recording and video,’ which in the previous life was commonplace and continuously evolving, from early screen films to VCD, DVD, MP4, and to video websites, audio-visual products were everywhere, and everyone could become media, spreading their knowledge and expertise.

However, in Great Yan, in the Mountain and Sea Realm, this place doesn’t follow the technological path at all, without even the foundational basis for technology, lagging far behind the technological levels of the industrial revolution era from the previous life.

"Climb the technology tree?"

Yan Chuan pondered over it: though challenging, it wasn’t impossible.
