Yan Chuan opened his eyes, and a series of crackling noises erupted from all over his body. In just one day, with the ’Spirit of Beihai’ consumed, Yan Chuan’s Bone Training progress skyrocketed, reaching eighth-grade Bone Training, taking another step towards the peak. The ’King City Competition’ paved the invincible path for Yan Chuan — On one hand, the ’Spirit of Beihai’ made Yan Chuan’s cultivation soar at a rate of a grade per day, so fast it was astonishing, seemingly endless. On the other hand, as the ’King City Competition’ progressed, each match, regardless of whether there were hundreds or thousands watching, or tens of thousands, varied at any given moment. But a single match, lasting anywhere from two to five hours, accumulated no small number of spectators, and coupled with the two thousand loyal followers Yan Chuan had from his previous live streams, there were quite a few who continued to follow each of Yan Chuan’s matches. Mutual Teaching and Learning. This enabled Yan Chuan’s mastery of Absolute Skills to progress bit by bit, and although he usually couldn’t compare to the spectacle of the Shenxiu Team’s live stream, as long as Yan Chuan remained on stage, within the competition, there was always hope for capturing the attention of a major live stream again, and making rapid progress once more. Yan Chuan stayed prepared at every moment. Yan Chuan advanced on both fronts. The ’Tan Valley Team’ had some luck in the third round of the Ten-day Tournament, or perhaps it was because Yan Chuan’s strength had grown significantly in the second round. Previously, when encountering the ’commoner Team’ on the third day of the second round, with an average score of 739, it placed immense pressure on the ’Tan Valley Team’, forcing Yan Chuan into a defensive position, ultimately making it difficult to avoid defeat regardless of strategy. But by the third round, Yan Chuan’s power surged, his strength surpassing 740 points, even managing to hold his own against Gong Zhao Wen, who held a score of 785. Among the participants in the ’King City Competition’, numbering over a hundred thousand teams, with six to seven hundred thousand people, half were martial artists who just surpassed 700 points, similar in strength to Wei Lingshan, Ding Xiang, Wang Ge, and Fu Yunzhan, strong yet not overwhelmingly so. With 700 as the base, the higher you go, the smaller the proportion and fewer the numbers, making encounters with strong teams relatively infrequent, especially in the early days of each Ten-day Tournament round. Read full story at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵 Thus, once the ’commoner Team’ with an average of 739 points was no longer an insurmountable opponent, and once the 785-point Gong Zhao Wen became manageable, the ’Tan Valley Team’ quietly elevated their status to at least mid-tier among the hundred thousand plus teams in the ’King City Competition’. Though still facing tough battles, with Yan Chuan’s guidance, "Mutual Teaching and Learning", understanding both oneself and the opponent, even when evenly matched or slightly disadvantaged, Yan Chuan often managed to secure thrilling victories through deepening understanding of their enemies. The third round of the Ten-day Tournament — The first day’s opponent, the Seven Cultivators Team, with an average score of 730, and a highest score of 785. The second day’s opponent, the Ah Ji Team, with an average score of 742, and a highest score of 745. The third day’s opponent, the Banshan Team, with an average score of 726, and a highest score of 761. The fourth day’s opponent, the Tailai Team, with an average score of 734, and a highest score of 762. The fifth day’s opponent, the Che Guang Team, with an average score of 736, and a highest score of 790. All went smoothly until the fifth day when they met their first formidable opponent, but even then, the other members of the Che Guang Team were mediocre, with only their captain, Che Guang, showing near 800-point strength, presenting a formidable challenge. Yan Chuan went all out, while Wang Zhengyi and others fought for their lives. Fortunately, the other members of the Che Guang Team were not too strong, and Che Guang, being a defensive player similar to Ma Hongniang, could withstand attacks and counterattack but was generally slow. In the Thousand-Person Battle, this made it easy to score. But in the ’King City Competition’, it lacked changes. In Yan Chuan’s team — There was Wang Zhengyi, possessing immense strength. There was Ma Hongniang, with an iron will. Both could barely hold their own. Plus there was Wang Ge, with ’Yin Yang Mill’, ’Xuanming Divine Palm’, and ’Seven Injuries Fist’, all sinister and most damaging. Additionally, Yan Chuan and Ding Xiang could roam and support — Yan Chuan himself also counted as a damage dealer. This lineup was too powerful, and Che Guang just happened to lose due to a flawed lineup. Yet even then, just Che Guang alone managed to hold the line, trying to put out fires everywhere, causing significant trouble for the Tan Valley Team. This brutal fight lasted a full seven hours, and it was only after wearing down the other four members of the Che Guang Team that Yan Chuan and the others bombarded for a full hour— "Finger Snapping Divine Ability!" "Six Meridian Divine Sword!" "Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand!" "Seven Injuries Fist!" "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill!" Under the full force of Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, and Wang Ge, Che Guang was eventually worn down to death. These two were also beaten to death by Che Guang, one drag two, leading to mutual destruction. Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, and Ma Hongniang survived, but were also utterly exhausted. This battle was tragic. The viewership reached its peak after the sixth hour, Yan Chuan couldn’t count it, but, based on the "Mutual Teaching and Learning" feedback, roughly estimated, there were at least ten to twenty thousand people watching. The only regret was that the high-popularity streams of the Shenxiu Team and the official streams maintaining millions of viewers didn’t notice this battle, didn’t feature it on their screen. Otherwise, "Mutual Teaching and Learning", the feedback and benefits Yan Chuan would receive could have increased significantly once again. But the good news is — "After winning this match." "Only four thousand teams remain in the third round of the Ten-day Tournament."
