Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 98 - 88: Spirit God advances to 9, Mrs. Cheng merges 6!

Chapter 98: Chapter 88: Spirit God advances to 9, Mrs. Cheng merges 6!

"Step in, divide in, twist in, close in, attack in, arch in, deceive in, raise in, rush in!"

"Master Yan!"

"This is the ’Spirit God Nine Steps Spear’, an exquisite spear technique I discovered in a perilous place. With this spear technique, combined with the ’Golden Feather’, I have killed countless enemies without defeat!"

"Be careful now!"

Tu Tiannan, with a spear in hand, changed his offensive, continuously advancing with his spear, wave after wave, completely breaking the rhythm of Yan Chuan’s ’Cheng Family Spear’, leaving him breathless.

"Spirit God Nine Steps Spear?"

"Great spear technique!"

Seeing this, Yan Chuan no longer held back. He changed his spear technique, blocking, grabbing, thrusting, picking, stabbing, crashing, chopping, piercing, swinging, wheeling, chaining moves, and executing the Floral Spear Dance!

The spear technique transformed!

The momentum instantly changed!

The ’Cheng Family Spear’ originally emphasized ’spear moving like a snake, hands and feet swift, aiming for the flesh with the spear, closely adhering to the stick for depth, forming circles for Primordial Spirit, separating forms for utility, rapid advances with successive strikes, combining soft and hard, offense and defense together’.

But now, as Yan Chuan performed, blocking, grabbing, thrusting, chopping, crashing, piercing, twisting, parrying, the strength permeated the spear tip, the moves unfolded, flying up and down, unpredictable like a swimming dragon, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Snake Movement!

Swimming Dragon!

Snake leaps through the Dragon Gate!

This is a qualitative change!

Tu Tiannan advanced again and again, yet it was like crashing into a wall of copper and iron, still charging and advancing with the spear, but unable to break through!

"This is not the Cheng Family Spear!"

Tu Tiannan frowned.

"Movement as agile as a cat, spear thrust as swift as a dart, spear forming a straight line, robbing the spear without confrontation, retrieving the spear like pressing a tiger, snatching revealing dragon and snake, hand-eye coordination, movement technique, qi power reaches the spear tip."

Yan Chuan laughed aloud: "Leader Tu has a keen eye. This is the ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’, a creation of mine combining the Cheng Family Spear with the Hundred Schools Spear Technique."

Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear!

Compared to the ’Cheng Family Spear’, this spear technique is powerful and rhythmic, with varied changes, seamless continuity, and eerie unpredictability.

It is several times more exquisite!

In no way inferior to Tu Tiannan’s ’Spirit God Nine Steps Spear’ of unknown origin!

At this fierce battle!

Originally, the ’Cheng Family Spear’ was inferior to the ’Wu Family Spear’, but now, the ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’ is superior to the ’Spirit God Nine Steps Spear’—

"Step in, divide in, twist in, close in, attack in, arch in, deceive in, raise in, rush in!"

"This is the ’Nine Steps’!"

"Stop, command, avoid, stand, hook, hang, twist, wring, shiver, rotate, follow, unify, exit, enter, advance, retreat, mix!"

"Seventeen kinds of spear techniques, both agile and divine, so it turns out, this is the ’Spirit God Power’!"

"Nine Steps!"

"Spirit God!"

"Spirit God Nine Steps Spear!"

Yan Chuan’s spear moved like a dragon, flying up and down. Combining with the ’Cheng Family Boxing’, ’Cheng Family Spear’, even after ’Divine Movement Transformation’, the ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’ integrates body movement and spear technique. Agility in movement, step with spear. Using steps to drive body movement, body movement to drive spear technique—

Flower!

Strange!

Battle!

In an instant, Tu Tiannan’s ’Spirit God Nine Steps Spear’ was completely exposed, seen through thoroughly.

...

In the stands.

A crowd of famous masters watched the two battling spears below, only feeling the spear techniques were so exquisite it developed potential. In the stands, whoever they were, none could confidently best these two in spear technique.

Wu Qi’s face was gloomy.

Wang Kuan glanced over, smiling internally.

He certainly felt bitter!

The ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’ that Yan Chuan wielded originated from the ’Cheng Family Boxing’ and ’Cheng Family Spear’, developed and refined. Its fundamentals were still ’Cheng Family Boxing’, even naming it ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’—

Firm roots and prosperous branches!

It is indeed Cheng Fist!

And Tu Tiannan?

His ’Spirit God Nine Steps Spear’ might be strong, but it was unrelated to ’Wu Family Boxing’ and ’Wu Family Spear’, a profound spear technique he acquired from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Tu Tiannan fighting Yan Chuan!

It should have been Wu Family Boxing against Cheng Family Boxing, Wu Family Spear against Cheng Family Spear.

But now, although the outcome is undecided, Tu Tiannan first abandoned the Wu Family Spear while Yan Chuan was still using a spear technique within the ’Cheng Family Boxing’ realm.

In comparison!

Wu Fist and Cheng Fist, higher and lower distinguished!

Tu Tiannan has not yet been defeated, but the ’Wu Family Boxing’ has already lost a battle.

With Wu Qi’s small-mindedness, he would be a ghost to smile!

Contrarily.

On the edge of the stands, Cheng Fengxiao’s face was filled with smiles—

"Tiger Crane Double Forms!"

"Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist!"

"Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist!"

"Guangling Shadowless Kick!"

"Divine Movement Transformation!"

"And now also the ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’!"

Luo Liang looked at Cheng Fengxiao beside him, his eyes popping out with envy and jealousy: "’Cheng Family Boxing’ achieved great success with Yan Chuan. It’s no less than the Eighteen Families of Widely Spread Boxing that Guangling Academy has developed over eight years, and my Luo’s Secret Sect Boxing is completely outdated!"

Secret Sect Boxing is inferior to Cheng Family Boxing!

This point must be acknowledged!

And all this, not because of Cheng Fengxiao, but because of Yan Chuan.

"Having Yan Chuan is indeed my fortune and the fortune of Cheng Family Boxing."

Cheng Fengxiao maintained his composure with a faint smile, but how he felt inside, no one could say.

...

"Unbelievable!"

"Unbelievable!"

Below the platform, Han Yerou was astounded to the point of numbness, witnessing Yan Chuan pull out another extraordinarily strong spear technique with a reverse grip. As for the spear technique that Tu Tiannan used, it goes without saying that it must have been obtained from the Mountain and Sea Realm—profound and unfathomable, combining spear with inner strength, merging weapons with inner family, already a secret martial spear.

And Yan Chuan?

Creating his own secret martial boxing wasn’t enough, creating his own secret martial Qinggong wasn’t enough. Now, he’s pulling out another secret martial spear technique!

"Is he even human?!"

Han Yerou considered herself to have witnessed many prodigies in Tianpeng Academy and the Mountain and Sea Realm, yet those figures mostly only tread on the path laid by predecessors, practicing the martial arts and skills of those before them.

Yan Chuan is different.

No martial arts? He creates his own!

That’s ruthless!

Nobody doubts these martial arts were not created by Yan Chuan—

"Boxing!"

"Qinggong!"

"Spear technique!"

"All derived and sublimated from Cheng Family Boxing. If not his creation, then whose? Cheng Fengxiao? Or could it be those ancestors of Cheng Family Boxing who died through the ages?"

Impossible!

It must be Yan Chuan!

Innovating and creating his own martial arts.

Pushing forward with courage!

Yan Chuan is too strong.

"With this battle, defeating Tu Tiannan, he is the indisputable Young Master!"

Han Yerou turned to Shen Mei beside her: "Senior sister, on the Grandmaster Path, there’s only progress without retreat. Upon meeting an old flame on this path, will you advance or withdraw?"

Shen Mei!

She is actually on the Grandmaster Path as well!

...

Guangling City.

A martial arts competition attracted too many people.

Not only the various experts within Guangling County, not only disciples from other academies like Shen Mei and Han Yerou, but also other academies’—

Officials!

Elders!

"Yan Chuan!"

"Martial Arts Hall Master!"

"Guangling Academy actually let such a talent remain outside. This is our chance, Taikang’s opportunity!"

"Elder Shao!"

"This Yan Chuan cannot be missed!"

Ren Qiushan from the Xuanwu Department of Taikang Academy, watching Yan Chuan display his might on the stage, saw Yan Chuan adapt on the fly, pulling out yet another self-created secret martial art, and couldn’t hold back. This is an absolute genius; Taikang Academy must secure him!

One of the Ten Elders of Taikang, Shao Yancong, was also elated, but he knew: "Yan Chuan has stayed in Guangling City for eight years, yet he didn’t join Guangling Academy, nor any other academy. Persuading him to accompany us back to Taikang could be more difficult than directly recruiting someone from Guangling Academy!"

Nine Counties of Jian Province!

Guangling ranks first, Taikang last!

Despite Guangling Academy ranking in the 300s out of the 400 academies in the Fifteen States of Great Yan, it must be known that Taikang Academy ranks even lower, at 400, the bottom twenty. Behind it, only nineteen academies are worse.

Simply disgraceful!

But there’s nothing to be done. Taikang County cannot compare to Guangling County, originally having fewer experts, and it established its academy several years later compared to other counties in Jian Province. Before Taikang Academy was founded, quality martial arts schools and promising martial arts seedlings had already been absorbed by the other eight counties, leaving only the undesirable in Taikang.

One step behind!

Step by step behind!

In the past four years of hard work, Taikang Academy grew visibly worse each year.

There’s no other choice.

The Ten Elders of the academy and the officials from the Xuanwu Department stationed at Taikang Academy had to personally go to various counties and states to select good talents or poach people from other academies or even Foundation Establishment Schools.

Putting aside their pride!

Solely to strengthen the academy!

However, over the years, the results have been minimal.

Shao Yancong knew the crux of the issue: "Taikang Academy is obscure and unknown, desperately needing a peerless prodigy to raise the academy’s flag, calling out for support, attracting more young people to come and learn martial arts. A benchmark, a banner, is what Taikang Academy urgently needs, and Yan Chuan is perfect in every way!"

Shao Yancong observed silently for nine days, watching Yan Chuan rise strongly.

This person!

He truly wanted him!

But persuading Yan Chuan to leave Guangling and come to Taikang is extremely difficult.

"Perhaps—"

"We can change our approach!"

Shao Yancong had been thinking these past days, and now, watching Yan Chuan wielding his spear and teaching simultaneously, suddenly had a stroke of inspiration: "For someone like Yan Chuan, having him start as a disciple in an academy doesn’t seem realistic. But if we hired him as a tutor or even a professor at the academy, there might be hope!"

Ren Qiushan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Elder Shao! This is truly an idea! Yan Chuan loves to teach, so we can hire him as a professor at the academy. ’Guangling Shadowless Kick’, after this battle, will surely be famous everywhere. By then, using his name and the fame of ’Guangling Shadowless Kick’ to recruit disciples will be far more effective than us painstakingly advertising!"

Shao Yancong and Ren Qiushan exchanged glances, both feeling hopeful.

...

Outside the arena, different hearts.

On the arena, Yan Chuan focused on nothing but the battle, wielding a Floral Spear, fiercely fighting Tu Tiannan!

This is the debut of his ’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’, executing it to his heart’s content—

Floral Spear!

Strange Spear!

Battle Spear!

’Cheng’s Six Harmonies Spear’ is divided into ’Three Spears Unions’—

Floral Spear uses the Round Spear as its mother, with softness following as its wonder!

Strange Spear is based on the Five Tones, with disregard as its method!

Battle Spear is based on Closed Door, battling while guarding the door!

Battle Spear Six Harmonies, uniting three spears!

Strange Spear Six Harmonies, uniting six spears!

Floral Spear Six Harmonies, uniting nine spears!

Altogether one hundred and eight spear moves.

While also integrating Internal and External Three Harmonies—

Internal Three Harmonies: essence, energy, spirit!

External Three Harmonies: waist, hands, eyes!

Spear exits like a dragon.

Strike, grab, crash, slash.

Tu Tiannan’s spear technique was powerful, yet he was still defeated by Yan Chuan’s self-created spear technique, retreating step by step.
