"Mountain Splitting Axe adds steel!"

"Splitting Mountain Spear!"

"Mountain Climbing and Horse Searching Accurate!"

"Mountain Climbing Spear!"

"Circle Barrier Tiger Hold Urgent!"

"Tiger Embrace Spear!"

"Being able to integrate the 'Vajra Eight Postures' into the 'Six Harmonies Spear,' and reaching this level, it can be called 'Divine.' But don't be satisfied with this, do not solely focus on the 'Vajra Eight Postures,' 'Baji Fist' is not just about the 'Vajra Eight Postures.'"

"Top, hold, single, lift, swing, twine!"

"This is the 'Six Major Openings!'"

"First open the door, then attack. Whenever you engage in a fight, this technique never leaves you, and there's a similar expression in the 'Six Harmonies Spear': block, advance, intercept, twine, seize, and straight for the Six Harmonies. Yutang, the spear is the tool, boxing is the essence!"

Yan Chuan urgently pointed out.

'Six Harmonies Spear'!

'Vajra Eight Postures'!

'Six Major Openings'!

Yan Chuan explained the 'Baji Fist' combined with the 'Six Harmonies Spear,' Level Four 'Mutual Teaching and Learning,' visibly boosting Jin Yutang's spear technique, making it more fierce and destructive.

Yet, no matter how fierce Jin Yutang was or how Yan Chuan instructed, opposite Jing Bao remained unfazed. With the Crescent Moon Spade in hand, she created one circle after another, entangling and eroding Jin Yutang, using the 'Four Ounces Move a Thousand Pounds' technique, as if Jin Yutang was stuck in the mud.

Unable to fight!

Completely unable to fight!

At this moment, Jing Bao was deliberately holding back, she was not exerting her full strength.

"Can't even win with a misaligned support?"

"Jing Bao is too powerful!"

"Is Yan Chuan being shameless now? Only instructing his disciple and not Jing Bao?"

"You don't understand! Yan Chuan wants to use Jing Bao as a whetstone to hone his disciple. Jing Bao is already strong, if Yan Chuan instructs further, Jin Yutang can't withstand it! Besides, if by chance Jing Bao receives a nudge and directly proves Dao, Yan Chuan and his disciple would be dumbfounded!"

"Everyone has their private interests!"

"Jing Bao is also merciful, only playfully tackling Jin Yutang, clearly having spare power yet not interfering with Yu Jinpeng who is contemplating the Mist Rain Stele."

"Is that mercy? That's fear! Look at those who went on stage before; how many dare interrupt Yu Jinpeng's contemplation? What if Yu Jinpeng holds a grudge, or Yan Chuan holds a grudge? Do you still want to mix in Great Yan?"

"Sword Discussion, Sword Discussion!"

"Discuss what kind of sword! It's all about human folklore!"

...

Yan Chuan's instruction to Jin Yutang was still evidently unable to surpass Jing Bao, sparking criticism.

Yan Chuan remained unmoved by what he heard, but Yu Jinpeng—

"The Mist Rain Stele does indeed have its merit, but my eldest disciple is pretty dull in aptitude, sincerely pursuing, capable of achieving something in 'Tai Chi Boxing.' Even further contemplation of the Mist Rain Stele benefits him, but what he understands from the Mist Rain Stele is not as good as listening to my martial arts lecture."

Yan Chuan shook his head.

He performed the Fourth Form of the 'Ksitigarbha Heavenly Dragon Roar,' the 'Mo Yin,' the sound infused Yu Jinpeng's ears, echoing in his heart sea—

"Jinpeng, awaken!"

A shout.

Awakening Yu Jinpeng.

No one dares to wake Yan Chuan's disciple?

Then Yan Chuan, being the master, will do it himself!

"Whoa!"

"This master!"

"The disciple was contemplating well, he was called awake?"

"Isn't this deliberately delaying the disciple?"

"Has Yan Chuan lost his mind?!"

The audience was puzzled.

On stage, both Jin Yutang and the opponent Jing Bao were confused.

Only Wei Quan, he immediately thought of last year's Jian Province Competition, where two senior brothers were about to achieve Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough, yet the master forcibly interrupted. At the time, everyone thought Yan Chuan was irrational, little knowing Yan Chuan had high hopes for Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang, did not want their Middle Method inhibition, but wanted them to comprehend 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound' to achieve Upper Method 'Secret Method Breaking Limit.'

"This time!"

"Definitely the same!"

Wei Quan believed in his master, he was thrilled, waiting for the two senior brothers to crush Jing Bao under the master's guidance, full of anticipation, but then a voice came—

"Wei Quan, go one-vs-four!"

One-vs-four?

Me?

Who should I challenge?

Wei Quan was baffled.

He looked up to the sky, meeting eye-to-eye with Yan Chuan!

Yes!

That's right!

It's the master!

Wei Quan originally sat cross-legged on the arena focused on spectating, with this, he jolted alive, his simple mind did not hesitate to burst out a shout—

"Come!"

"War!"

"I want to fight ten!"

This sudden shout startled Jing Bao, Jin Yutang, and even the freshly-awakened Yu Jinpeng, drawing them all to look over, only to see Wei Quan taking an arrow step forward towards Jing Bao—

—her four teammates!

"Scared me!"

"What is going on?"

"Grabbing the spotlight?"

The crowd was speechless.

Everyone was watching the Chou Character Arena eagerly awaiting Jing Bao's solo battle against Jin Yutang and Yu Jinpeng, especially with Yan Chuan there to provide guidance—it was bound to be spectacular.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Wei Quan would step forward?

Wei Quan?

This was Yan Chuan's third disciple, with significant background and backing, but his cultivation had only just reached the breakthrough limit, nothing to brag about, just pure baggage. Just like the four teammates Jing Bao brought this time, he's purely an accessory, just to meet the number requirement for entering the Sword Discussion competition.

His ability was mediocre.

A few accessories, a few weaklings, there was really no need for a contest. They might as well be spectators standing on the ring, just watching, having no real impact on the offense or defense outcomes of the match.

Wei Quan hadn't fought much before either.

But now, in this last match, what was he doing?

Everyone was puzzled.

In fact, Wei Quan himself was confused, but since his Master told him to, he would fight.

"The governor aligns the liver qi. When stepping, the hand and claw strike together; when the elbow rises, the palm flips, the waist drops, and the foot kicks first, then the hand, the Six Harmonies unite."

Wei Quan started with the 'Tiger Form' from 'Xingyi Boxing's 'Twelve Forms,' glaring fierily, his palms striking fiercely, carrying his head forward in the secure Five Elements—

The waist commands, the dantian uses strength.

"Heh!"

A yell!

Wei Quan charged quickly, retreating just as fast, being kicked away by someone, landing a blow on his solar plexus causing him to almost lose his breath, and his butt hitting the ground with a 'thud'—like a partridge landing!

One against four!

Does he deserve it?

"Junior brother! Senior Sister Zhong!"

Wei Quan quickly called for reinforcement, and though Che Qi and Zhong Hui didn't quite understand what Wei Quan was doing, they couldn't just watch him be beaten, so they rushed forward to fight alongside him.

For a moment.

The Chou Character Arena was chaotic, and no one was standing still—

Jing Bao's grand battle against Jin Yutang, with Yu Jinpeng joining the fight, 'Two Extreme Boxing Kings' joining forces, utilizing both soft and hard techniques, finally something interesting.

Yet on the side, Wei Quan and six others were merely weaklings pecking at each other, on a venue like the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, it practically insulted the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, and all the countless heavenly prides of the Great Yan!

Unbearable!

Too inexperienced!

But then—

"Tiger's Pile Body Force emits from the hip. Boxing forward allows clean energy to rise, boxing backward won't let dull energy fall, the Du Meridian becomes blocked. The Du Meridian is the source of all meridians, when it is open, all meridians are open. The Du Meridian is also said to lead the yang meridians, therefore practicing Tiger Form Boxing carries the potential of a tiger leaving its lair."

"Taking form for boxing, with intent as spirit, with qi pushing strength, exerting while glaring angrily, like a tiger watching intently, with the stance of an angry tiger emerging from the woods, claws capable of pulling mountains."

"Wei Quan!"

"'Tiger Form' stance first!"

"Qi sinking to the dantian, strong as an immovable old man!"

...

Up above, after waking up Yu Jinpeng, everyone originally thought Yan Chuan was about to guide his two disciples to jointly fight against Jing Bao. Yet unexpectedly, he didn't guide Yu Jinpeng further, nor did he guide Jin Yutang, but rather directed his guidance to the recently limited-breaking novice third disciple!

"So, is Wei Quan just trying to attract his master's attention?"

"Yan Chuan really spoils this disciple so much he can't bear to see him suffer even a little?"

"On such a big stage like Cang Mountain, on such an occasion like the Sword Discussion, should such a significant figure as Yan Chuan really be guiding a small novice like Wei Quan?"

"With Yan Chuan guiding Wei Quan, how can Jing Bao, Yu Jinpeng, and Jin Yutang make any breakthroughs?"

...

Everyone was bewildered by Yan Chuan's move.

Something's off!

It shouldn't be Wei Quan getting the guidance!

Why is that?

Even the Heavenly Masters were initially surprised, but soon someone guessed the 'answer': "Of course! Yan Chuan has publicly lectured on 'Xingyi Boxing' at various events, the 'National Martial Arts' he's developing is 'Xingyi Boxing' and not Jin Yutang's 'Baji Fist' or Yu Jinpeng's 'Tai Chi Boxing.' So, even though Wei Quan's capability is low, the boxing he's practicing aligns exactly with Yan Chuan's focus. Yan Chuan isn't spoiling his disciple, he's using this Cang Mountain Sword Discussion platform, this opportunity to guide Wei Quan, to widely spread 'Xingyi Boxing' among present-day heavenly prides and even grandmasters!"

Everything is 'National Martial Arts'!

Ever since people attributed Yan Chuan's broad lecturing and spreading of 'Xingyi Boxing' to 'National Martial Arts Development,' every action of Yan Chuan could be interpreted as 'related to National Martial Arts.'

'National Martial Arts' is a catch-all, everything goes in it!

This has spared Yan Chuan a lot of effort.

He no longer needs to disguise, confidently lecturing, and teaching Xingyi Boxing as he pleases.

However, while he lectured at this moment, although guiding Wei Quan, the 'Daoist Cushion' had already quietly initiated—

['Daoist Cushion' (Level One): In the Purple Mist Palace, six Daoist Cushions aid listeners in better comprehending lectures and understanding the Dao, "Mutual Teaching and Learning" effect +1000%. Note: Only two of the six seats have a chance to be reassigned once.]

(To advance to the next level, requires the expenditure of 10000 Experience.)

...

[Daoist Cushion One: Yu Jinpeng]

[Daoist Cushion Two: Jin Yutang]

[You give a lecture in the 'Purple Mist Palace' once a year, allowing first disciple Yu Jinpeng and second disciple Jin Yutang to attend and listen, seated at the first and second cushions, to better understand the teachings, "Mutual Teaching and Learning" effect +1000%.]

[Cooldown: None]

(Upgrading can reset the cooldown time)

(Binding an additional seat allows an extra lecture)

...

Last year's Jian Province Competition, Yan Chuan [held a lecture in the 'Purple Mist Palace,' with first disciple Yu Jinpeng and second disciple Jin Yutang attending, seated at the first and second cushions for better comprehending the teachings, 'Mutual Teaching and Learning' effect +1000%].

During that period.

Both Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang showcased remarkable comprehension, mastering the extensive and profound 'Tai Chi Boxing' and 'Baji Fist' with ease, one step at a time, progressing rapidly.

The experience of learning boxing that time was unlike anything they had ever experienced before.

And this time, the occasion was rare, the atmosphere unique, so Yan Chuan, without hesitation, launched the 'Daoist Cushion' once again. With the yearlong cooldown expired, Yan Chuan could lecture again, allowing those already seated—Yu Jinpeng and Jin Yutang—to receive enhancements—
