Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 13 [Yijinjing: Inspiration +1]

'Tiger Form Boxing', with fierce eyes and a strong neck, Yan Chuan exudes a majestic presence.

Cheng Fengxiao was initially indifferent, as he was very familiar with the ability of this beloved disciple. He knew his talent well; after twenty years of martial arts training, he could only be considered average.

He didn't expect Yan Chuan to achieve any profound level in 'Tiger Form Boxing' in just over ten days.

However—

"Huh?"

At a casual glance, he spotted a pleasant surprise.

"Monkey's Back, Double Chicken Hands, pressing down and hugging within, this is 'Hugging Force'."

The 'Hugging Force' in 'Tiger Form Boxing' is one of the high-level techniques. In the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, currently only Yan Chuan has mastered it competently; others, including those who have reached the stage of practicing 'Gongzi Fuhu Fist' like Jin Yutang, are still slightly lacking in fire control.

But today, Yan Chuan's 'Hugging Force' seems to have even more flavor.

Cheng Fengxiao was invigorated and began to observe closely.

"Primordial Qi sinking into the Dantian, Tiger Step stabilizing, hands rising and falling into step—"

"This is 'Drawing Strength'!"

"Beautiful!"

Cheng Fengxiao was greatly uplifted.

The 'Drawing Strength' of the Tiger Form Boxing is the subsequent dark force of 'Hugging Force.' Once you use 'Hugging Force' to close in on the opponent's hands and feet, at the moment of root joint movement, only by unleashing 'Drawing Strength' can it be effective. Delay, and the opponent will stabilize, prepare defenses, making it ineffective. This is called change borne of delay.

The linkage of 'Hugging Force' and 'Drawing Strength' is a marker to distinguish whether one is skilled in 'Tiger Form Boxing.'

Yan Chuan once lacked enlightenment and was far off.

But now, it was evident he had become a seasoned old hand polished over years.

"Hugging Force."

"Drawing Strength."

"Then comes—"

Naturally, it's 'Throwing Force'!

The 'Throwing Force' in Tiger Form Boxing is a successive dark force of 'Drawing Strength,' and such a force employed would surely place the enemy in a perilous situation; this is already a killing move of 'Tiger Form Boxing.'

Yan Chuan did not disappoint—

Bang!

'Throwing Force' was executed just as smoothly.

"Tiger Form Boxing!"

"Three forces!"

"Wonderful!"

Cheng Fengxiao was overjoyed, clapping and laughing heartily: "You've mastered the 'Tiger Form Boxing,' your accomplishments in this boxing technique are not beneath your master's!"

A disciple need not be inferior to the master!

Being caught up by Yan Chuan in the 'Tiger Form Boxing' made Cheng Fengxiao only pleased, not annoyed at all.

In his joy, he thought of Yan Chuan's previous mentions of self-created martial arts, realizing it wasn't just 'Tiger Form Boxing' that made great progress, his 'Crane Form Boxing' must have also improved.

Therefore.

Cheng Fengxiao immediately concluded: "Play a round of 'Crane Form Boxing'."

He wanted to spar with Yan Chuan.

"Yes."

Yan Chuan was delighted.

Playing boxing with Cheng Fengxiao, even if it wasn't guidance, nor explanation, Cheng Fengxiao's serious watch brought back thoughts and reflections.

His accomplishments in 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' were already integrated (Fifth Realm), even refined over fire (Sixth Realm), and Cheng Fengxiao's feedback benefited Yan Chuan a lot, ensuring his continued advancement in 'Tiger Form Boxing.'

In the 'Fifth Realm' of 'Tiger Form Boxing', progressing was truly tough. It was only through Cheng Fengxiao that some progress was seen, yet it was merely three to five points of skill level, far from the previous 'dozens of points in a day, two realms in ten days' pace.

Even so, with daily progress, it wouldn't be long before Yan Chuan could achieve 'refining fire'!

After 'Tiger Form Boxing'.

It was then, Yan Chuan came again to have a real fight with Cheng Fengxiao in 'Crane Form Boxing'—

"Huddle up and conceal yourself, shuttle through the forest, pounce, collide, and grasp; internalize Primordial Qi and externally bind the frame, with finesse and precision, the Crane Form is self-reliant."

Cross Fist postures.

Top-picking enters the forest.

Using the shoulder to hit.

The core of 'Crane Form Boxing' lies in the essence of 'precision', 'precision' denotes spirit, with eye power concentrated, brilliance radiates; thus, the spirit of the Crane lies in precision, stillness within Crane shows composure and concentration. With unchanging opposition to myriad transformations, the Crane neither hasty nor frantic, just waiting for the enemy's slightest laxity, using 'whip power' to peck with the Crane's beak like a bolt of lightning, hitting the most vulnerable part.

Thus, practicing Crane Form requires 'softness amidst firmness'.

Yan Chuan used 'Tiger Form Boxing' for a heavy attack, 'Crane Form Boxing' as an insertion, using leisure to counter labor, occasionally releasing a surprising 'whip power', provoking Cheng Fengxiao into continued approval.

"Again!"

"With force!"

"Come in closer! Yes, like that!"

Cheng Fengxiao countered with ease.

Having practiced martial arts for thirty to forty years, his accomplishments in 'Cheng Family Boxing' far surpassed Yan Chuan. Even though in the singular 'Tiger Form Boxing' or 'Crane Form Boxing' he wasn't exceedingly higher by numerous levels, his deep martial arts background allowed easy guidance for Yan Chuan.

Master and disciple teaching!

Back and forth!

A great battle, exhilarating.

When Yan Chuan exhausted his routines and displayed his attainments, Cheng Fengxiao lightly raised his hand and jumped out of the battle circle, sweeping away the decadence between his brows: "Good! Good! Good!"

Calling out 'good' thrice, all the sulkiness was gone from his heart.

Patting Yan Chuan's shoulder, Cheng Fengxiao gratefully said: "Starting tomorrow, your master will teach you the 'Iron Wire Fist'."

[Task Two: Inspiration +33]

[Task One: Inspiration +1]

...

Exhausted and drenched in sweat, Yan Chuan, with staggered steps, walked out of the master's room, squinting at the increase in inspiration and skill level, revealing a flush of joy on his face.

In the field of boxing, a Cheng Fengxiao surpasses three Wei Quans by tenfold.

One practice, one spar.

The inspiration for 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' skyrocketed by 33 points.

Not only that.

Not just 'Tiger Crane Double Forms'.

Even 'Task One: Yijinjing', nearly forgotten by Yan Chuan these recent days, finally made a significant move today, increasing inspiration by 1 point.

This is undoubtedly a good start!

"At my master's level, such a martial artist, with keen eye power, even if I merely practice boxing with my mouth closed, they can see more and think and understand more, providing me more correct feedback."

Today's attempt made Yan Chuan aware of the importance of quality: "Dozens of beginners, three to five practitioners, cannot compare to the feedback from one master."

Yan Chuan is increasingly looking forward to the 'Martial Arts Competition' three months from now—

"By then."

"I will compete on the stage, watched by the audience below."

"Their feedback, perhaps just one match, can enable me to master the entirety of 'Cheng Family Boxing', pushing it to the peak."

'Mutual Teaching and Learning' depends on the 'Listener's' thinking and understanding; during combat, the onlookers certainly cannot watch and think as seriously as Cheng Fengxiao does.

Including their understanding and awareness of 'Cheng Family Boxing' is superficial, even completely clueless.

Thus, the feedback generated is little.

But given the crowd—

Thousands of ordinary martial artists!

Dozens to hundreds of skilled martial artists!

Even martial arts grandmasters of Cheng Fengxiao's caliber.

These people, accumulating little by little, would collectively make a huge difference, making Yan Chuan's skills full to the brim.

"Martial Arts Competition!"

"This is the stage where I take flight!"

"As long as I have a few more matches, perhaps, [Task One] can be overachieved, and the 'Yijinjing' created by then!"

Once possessing 'Yijinjing'—

The world is vast!

Who could be the match?!"
