Gong Zhao Wen was in the midst of an intense sword fight with Yan Chuan, but unexpectedly, his sword was snatched away by Yan Chuan as if seizing a Broken Blade. With a flick, it, too, joined many other fragments shooting back with a bang. The broken blade sliced across both arms. The sharp sword grazed across the cheek. Gong Zhao Wen broke into a cold sweat from shock, and, with quick reflexes, he hurriedly reached to grab the sword again. However, just as he touched the sword hilt, the treasure sword exploded on the spot with a bang. This was because Yan Chuan, when using the "Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand" to seize the treasure sword, had also infused the concept of the "Life and Death Talisman," injecting yin and yang inner power into it. As soon as Gong Zhao Wen grabbed it, the imbalance of yin and yang caused an instant explosion. The sword shattered, and fragments flew wildly. Gong Zhao Wen’s body and face immediately gained several blood marks, truly looking wretched, but in reality, there weren’t many injuries. But the real deadly issue is that Gong Zhao Wen’s treasure sword was destroyed, making it difficult for him to display his swordsmanship prowess. In contrast, Yan Chuan, besides swordsmanship and possessing the "Dugu Nine Swords," had many other capabilities! [Your ’Dugu Nine Swords’ has been upgraded, skill level +6] [Dugu Nine Swords: Sixth Realm Refining (97)] [Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has been upgraded, skill level +1] [Wave Riding Micro Steps: Seventh Realm: Transcendent (26)] [Your ’Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand’ has been upgraded, skill level +1] [Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand: Seventh Realm: Transcendent (5)] [Your ’Finger Snapping Divine Ability’ has been upgraded, skill level +1] [Finger Snapping Divine Ability: Seventh Realm: Transcendent (3)] [Your ’One Yang Finger’ has been upgraded, skill level +1] [One Yang Finger: Seventh Realm: Transcendent (4)] On the first day of the third round of the Ten-day Tournament, the ’Tan Valley Team’ competed against the ’Seven Cultivators Team’, with Yan Chuan taking the lead role. "Wave Riding Micro Steps," "Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand," "Finger Snapping Divine Ability," and "One Yang Finger," four Seventh Realm Absolute Skills dominated the entire arena. Even Gong Zhao Wen, with 785 points. And the other four members of the ’Seven Cultivators Team.’ Under the harassment of Yan Chuan’s "Wave Riding Micro Steps" and "Finger Snapping Divine Ability," they were defeated one by one with blitzkrieg tactics—— Wang Zhengyi’s Qi Power! Ma Hongniang’s Iron Bone! Wang Ge’s Seven Injuries Fist! The three main forces unleashed a mad output, with Ding Xiang using her movement technique to assist from the side, exchanging injuries for injuries, life for life, fighting with sheer brutality. Fierce! Fierce beyond measure! The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 Especially Yan Chuan, after the Postnatal Peak, possessing the four Seventh Realm Absolute Skills, his comprehensive power approached 800 points, already with the crucial ability to impact and decide the outcome of the battle. In life, it’s hard to achieve perfection in everything. Like Yan Chuan at this moment. During the competition, during the match, on one hand, he hopes to fight against his opponent all day, the longer he persists until the end, the more he hopes to be live-streamed or even live-streamed by the official live stream room, the more people watching, the more feedback he gains from "Mutual Teaching and Learning." These are all benefits. However, from the perspective of winning or losing, Yan Chuan cannot afford to delay. In the ’Tan Valley Team’—— Wang Zhengyi and Ma Hongniang, one possesses an ’Alien Beast Avatar,’ and the other possesses an ’Immortal Bone,’ if in reality, their power is endless, exceptionally enduring, not prone to exhaustion, they are not afraid of prolonged battles in reality. But in the Heavenly Ladder City, Ma Hongniang’s clone only has a set of ’Iron Bone,’ bones hard to the extreme, and a defense shockingly strong, but endurance far less than in reality, possibly not even compared to Yan Chuan. Then there is Wang Zhengyi. His ’Alien Beast Avatar’ can provide him with endless energy, but that is for the avatar and the main body. The clone in the Heavenly Ladder City does not enjoy this privilege, his super recovery power here is only self-inherent, post-modification, far weaker than in reality. Of course, even so, Wang Zhengyi’s endurance is still the only First Tier among the five. As for Yan Chuan, having just reached the Postnatal Peak, in terms of accumulation, in terms of inner strength, compared to the veteran peaks, he is much behind, even with the "Nine Yang Divine Skill," in high-intensity fierce battles, it’s difficult to say he can outlast others. Ding Xiang has been practicing martial arts for only six years, although her movement technique is unparalleled, in terms of inner power cultivation, she’s merely borrowed ’Mind Reading Technique’ to inherit her mentor Wei Luofang’s "Cloud Smoke Skill," over six years, barely pushing her qi cultivation to the Postnatal Peak. As for body refining, her sinew, bone, skin, and membrane are still somewhat lacking, or rather, she previously did not have the energy to also focus on body refining, currently barely at Fourth Grade—— Limit-breaking Fourth Grade! In terms of cultivation, at this moment, Ding Xiang is even less than Yan Chuan, she doesn’t possess "Nine Yang Divine Skill" or "Wave Riding Micro Steps" for sustained battle prowess, her endurance capabilities are quite obvious. In prolonged battles—— Wang Zhengyi is the strongest. Ma Hongniang is average. Yan Chuan is passable. Ding Xiang is lacking. As for Wang Ge, to call him a ’little dog’ is not too much—— "In Heavenly Ladder City, using the ’Seven Injuries Fist’ is unrestrained, strong as it is, but in the end, every deployment causes self-harm, and in prolonged battles, the body damage accumulates more and more, affecting the state within a maximum of four hours." "In the upcoming competitions, the ’Seven Injuries Fist’ still needs to be used, but it can’t be just ’Seven Injuries Fist,’ ’Xuanming Divine Palm’ and ’Yin Yang Mill’ must also be given care, using them more for greater understanding. Start with ’Xuanming Divine Palm’ and ’Yin Yang Mill,’ and use ’Seven Injuries Fist’ when it’s nearly a life-or-death moment, for slightly more endurance." "Additionally, the cultivation aspect also needs to be accelerated." After the first day of the third round of the Ten-day Tournament, Yan Chuan found Wang Ge and Ding Xiang: "’Spirit of Beihai’ can aid cultivation, after Miss Ding uses it, quickly increase inner strength, Wang Ge’s primary task is to elevate his cultivation to the Postnatal Peak." To enhance the team’s endurance capability, Yan Chuan spared no effort with the ’Spirit of Beihai,’ a treasure even coveted by Innate Grandmasters, distributing fifty drops to each of them, to rapidly boost their inner strength and endurance over the next month or so. King City Competition! Teams of five, all are strong, but any one or two weak points can be fatal. Yan Chuan wants a prolonged battle, not only must he work hard, Ding Xiang and Wang Ge must not be overlooked. Five hearts united, side by side, this is the true principle. The length of the match and the outcome are difficult, a dilemma hard to reconcile. Besides, Yan Chuan had another difficulty—— "If I want to go further in the ’King City Competition’ and perform better, the first thing to compensate for is the cultivation shortfall, the ’Spirit of Beihai’ can precisely help me quickly make up for it." "But if I consume the ’Spirit of Beihai’ and bury myself in rigorous cultivation, in Heavenly Ladder City, the ’King City Competition’ cannot be commentated, making ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ hard to trigger, and absolute skill mastery difficult to progress." On one hand, it’s cultivation. On the other hand, it’s absolute skill. Difficult to address both. Fish and bear’s paw, difficult to have both. According to common sense, the ’Spirit of Beihai’ is there, whether Yan Chuan enhances now or waits until after the ’King City Competition’ to consume it, is merely a matter of a month or two. Yet this one or two months determines whether Yan Chuan can go further in the ’King City Competition’. "Refining the ’Spirit of Beihai’ to elevate cultivation, compared to the improvement in absolute skill mastery triggered by ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ during the ’King City Competition,’ in the short term, the ’Spirit of Beihai’ offers a greater enhancement to my strength." Refining the ’Spirit of Beihai’ → Greater strength → Go further in the ’King City Competition,’ longer matches → Higher probability of being live-streamed, more spectators → More intense ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ → Faster absolute skill improvement! Yan Chuan chose to refine the ’Spirit of Beihai’ with this mindset. Having been live-streamed by the Shenxiu Team before, he knew well: "As long as I can reach the end of the ’King City Competition,’ and be live-streamed in the matches by big or official live stream rooms, with millions of viewers, it’s worth more than me painstakingly live-streaming for ten days!" If there were no other options, Yan Chuan would, of course, choose to live-stream, even a crumb is meat. But since the ’Spirit of Beihai’ can help Yan Chuan swiftly enhance his strength, then, the ’Spirit of Beihai’ is the first choice, and live-streaming can wait.
