Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 187 - 168: Opening Gate! Giving Experience!

"’Chicken Form’ holds an extremely important position within the ’Twelve Forms,’ and indeed throughout the entire ’Xingyi Boxing.’ Among the ’Three Body Formation,’ there are ’Ten Major Stances,’ of which the ’Floating Cloud Stance’ forms the foundation of the ’Half-step Breaking Fist,’ whereas the ’Chicken Step Stance’ is the mother of the ’Twelve Forms’—"

"The Chicken Stance strikes like thunder, embodying the whole form."

"The ’Chicken Step Stance’ is the mother of the ’Twelve Forms.’ Without stance, there is no form, and in combat, everything relies on using stances. Any single form can originate from the ’Chicken Step Stance,’ for instance, the ’Chicken Step Stance’ can evolve into forms like Tiger Head Hugging, Tiger Pounce, Tiger Swinging Tail, Earth Scratching Wind, and many others."

"Standing in the ’Chicken Step Stance’ requires the whole body to exhibit the energy of wrapping and binding, containing the intent of expansion and resolution, contracted like a twisted rope, released like a burst dam."

"When you feel your waist and legs filled with strength, your hands solid, your chest and stomach full, your whole body relaxed yet not slack, your breathing smooth, that is the perfection of the ’External Three Harmonies’ and you can move on to the ’Inner Three Harmonies.’

...

Yan Chuan focused on explaining the ’Chicken Form’ among the ’Twelve Forms,’ starting from the ’Chicken Step Stance,’ moving on to the ’Chicken Claw Skill,’ then to the ’Chicken Beak Skill’ and ’Flash Wing Skill.’

He infused his ’Experience’ into a turkey that Wang Zhengyi caught from Nanyue Lake, making it absolutely focused. Dozens of chickens of various kinds, along with this turkey, responded with varying degrees of feedback. Although they didn’t have much brainpower and little thought, muscle memory prevailed in purity.

Yan Chuan explained the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ for several consecutive days, making a bit of progress.

On this day.

While speaking, he suddenly had more insights arise inwardly, with obvious feedback suddenly increasing significantly. Yan Chuan was surprised, and with a glance, it turned out newcomers had arrived, quite a number of them. From the feedback of ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ these people all had extraordinary martial skills.

"Finally, my phoenix tree has attracted the true phoenix!"

Yan Chuan was overjoyed and more vigorous in explaining the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’—

"The stepping style of the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ primarily uses the Void Step, supplemented by the Ding Step and Independent Step."

"The stepping technique mainly involves arc-shaped step, short-step, strike step, and pad step."

"Leg techniques include bounce leg, front step, side shovel, kicking, jumping."

"Hand skills use Hook Hand instead of Chicken Beak, involving grabs, pecks, points, forks, slices."

Yan Chuan demonstrated the stepping style, stepping technique, leg technique, and hand skills of the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ one by one. Aside from a flock of chickens, a horse, and a cat, the remaining people more or less knew these basics. With a single demonstration, Yan Chuan did not reiterate or perform another breakdown demonstration, instead unifying them—

"Head bump, shoulder strike, hip lean, claw grab, leg bounce."

"This is the main technique of ’Chicken-shaped Boxing.’ Like a chick pecking grains, precise, fast, and continuous; like a golden rooster standing alone, stable as a nail; like a rooster crowing, majestic and natural."

"Movement technique is open and closed, the neck stretches and shrinks."

"Strength emphasizes explosive force, requires quick precision, quick dispatch and return."

"Attention!"

"Sink your Qi, stabilize your mind, often using the crow of a chicken to assist power!"

"Cluck cluck cluck~"

Yan Chuan boxed, with the sound of chicken crowing rising abruptly from the chicken pen in front. The turkey erupted, using an ’Iron Mountain Lean’ to slam open the companion next to it. Flapping its wings, two more chickens were slapped away, then with a short-step, a nod and a peck—

Cluck~ cluck~ cluck~

A large rooster was pecked to death on the spot!

"Good chicken!"

"Truly fierce!"

...

[Your ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ has improved, from ’Fifth Realm of Mastery’ to ’Sixth Realm Refining.’]

...

"Chicken-shaped Boxing!"

"I never knew there was such a boxing style in the world."

Fu Zhe stepped forward, glanced at the chaotic chicken pen, especially at that fierce turkey just now, seeing its unstoppable boldness, he said to Yan Chuan, "To explain boxing so thoroughly, even to the point of enlightening these chickens—"

"You are very impressive." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Fu Zhe’s eyes were full of admiration.

"Humble skills, praised by a friend too highly!" Yan Chuan dared not be arrogant, intentionally appearing slightly reserved with a touch of humility. It wasn’t that he felt intimidated, but rather because—

[Task One: Inspiration +2]

[Task Two: Inspiration +5]

[Task Three: Inspiration +8]

[Task Four: Inspiration +44]

...

"Hiss!"

Yan Chuan inhaled sharply in his heart.

Just one explanation of ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ not only propelled the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ to break through to the Sixth Realm but also led to rapid progress in the four tasks of ’Derivation Skill.’

From this, it can also be seen laterally that the strength of this batch of people is very strong, and their martial arts accomplishment—

Either profound!

Or broad!

No matter which kind, they cannot be slighted.

Fu Zhe was accustomed to others currying favor and being anxious when before him. At this moment, seeing Yan Chuan merely being a slight bit reserved, he didn’t feel much but continued to smile and said, "I heard you mention ’Xingyi Boxing’ just now, saying that this ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ is one of the ’Twelve Forms’ in ’Xingyi Boxing.’ May I ask where does this boxing style originate from?"

"In my humble skills, I, Yan, created it myself."

Yan Chuan modestly replied.

"Self-created?" Fu Zhe was astonished. That ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ was commendable and noteworthy, and under Yan Chuan’s explanation, it even sparked a lot of thoughts in him, causing advances in his study of ’Youlong Saber’ and ’Chongxuan Saber,’ and even some gains in his primary studies of the ’Dusk Drum Elixir Skill’ and ’Mang Niu’s Great Strength Technique.’

Chicken-shaped Boxing!

Not simple!

But such a boxing style was created by an independent practitioner who had just broken the limit?

Fu Zhe became interested: "I wish to experience it."

This request wasn’t exactly polite.

Behind Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, Huo Zhen, Jian Rong, Shao Yancong all frowned slightly, Yu Jinpeng, and Jin Yutang were even more irritable, but they dared not cause trouble for Yan Chuan.

It was clear that the newcomer had an unusual presence and a notable background. What seemed ’rude’ in their eyes might, to the newcomer, be ’courteous treatment’ or ’paying due respect.’

Yan Chuan didn’t mind the person’s attitude, happily agreeing: "’Xingyi Boxing’ is in its infancy, and I would like to ask friends from all sides to correct me!"

Someone coming to spar?

This wasn’t rudeness!

This was a gift!

This was someone coming to deliver experience to him!

Yan Chuan couldn’t wish for anything more!

"Interesting."

Fu Zhe saw that Yan Chuan’s joy was genuine and not feigned. He was slightly shocked before laughing and moving forward, unbothered and at ease: "Feel free to attack, don’t hold back."

A highly skilled person’s courage! Yan Chuan decided not to show mercy: "Excuse me!"

He started with a Cross Fist, beginning with ’Chicken-shaped Boxing.’

Attack through care!

Striking amidst shrinkage!

Hand strikes, foot treads!

As soon as Yan Chuan began, he delved into implementing the techniques of ’Chicken-shaped Boxing,’ incorporating the points he had recently explained into real combat.

"Chicken-shaped Boxing."

"Not bad!"

Fu Zhe repeatedly used loose hands to disassemble Yan Chuan’s offensive, handling it with ease.

Yan Chuan was secretly alarmed.

In fact, as soon as they made contact, he knew this person’s strength far exceeded his, way beyond the same level, not merely a gap in boxing mastery, which couldn’t be immediately discerned, but a gap in hard strength—

Sinew, Bone, Skin, and Membrane!

Inner Strength, Inner Strength!

Qi-Blood, Qi Power!

Exceeding him by far, beyond imagination, just one contact, one sense, made one feel like worshiping Mount Tai, too hard to shake.

Fortunately, Yan Chuan had ’Experience’ and ’Absolute Focus.’

He focused on boxing, habitually speaking—

"My ’Xingyi Boxing’ is divided into ’Three Body Formation,’ ’Five Elements Boxing,’ and ’Twelve Forms.’

"The ’Chicken-shaped Boxing’ is one of the ’Twelve Forms.’

"In addition, the ’Twelve Forms’ also include Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, Horse, Sparrowhawk, Swallow, Snake, Alligator, Hare, Eagle, and Bear forms."

"Raise Qi in the Dantian to the trigger release, with force and virtue swift hoof kicking; lungs and spleen at ease regulating breath, with a valiant steed’s courageous attack in mind."

"This is—"

"’Horse Form Boxing!’

Yan Chuan, breathing and opening voice, explained ’Xingyi Boxing,’ explaining ’Twelve Forms,’ although his ’bad habit’ was hard to change, luckily he kept his rationality, not daring to nitpick this time but focusing solely on narrating his self-created ’Xingyi Boxing.’"

At the same time, he sprinkled ’Experience’ on Fu Zhe, putting him also into focus, accompanied by his explanation of ’Xingyi Boxing,’ making Fu Zhe more focused on listening, more focused on thinking, thus providing more, pure feedback to Yan Chuan, increasing his understanding of ’Twelve Forms’ and ’Xingyi Boxing,’ with Fu Zhe’s own learning feedback also back to him.

If it weren’t for the focus state, these scattered and chaotic thoughts would be hard for Yan Chuan to comprehend, realize, or absorb.

But now, with Fu Zhe joining the focus state, all thoughts were derived from Yan Chuan’s explanation of ’Xingyi Boxing,’ and the feedback was likewise from ’Xingyi Boxing,’ likening ’Xingyi Boxing’ to a key. Yan Chuan could then easily break down and analyze these thoughts, making them his own!

Wave after wave!

Yan Chuan reaped immense rewards!

He explained ’Horse Form Boxing,’ and besides Fu Zhe, he also drew the Yellow Maned Horse Zang Qi bought into the absolute focus state.

’Experience’ flowed like water.

But concerning a boost in strength, Yan Chuan spared no expense.

He attacking to and fro with ’Horse Form Boxing,’ still explaining ’Horse Form Boxing’—

"’Horse Form’ derives its essence from the horse’s iron hooves, robust strength, swift flight, with a bold mane and tail in conflict, daring to fight tigers and leopards."

"Warriors who learn the swift hoof skills of spirited horses, show off their might on the battlefield, heroes across the Four Seas, establish a noble name, completely relying on this to achieve stunning success."

"The key lies in Qi-lifting and exertion with intent spirit, with regulated breath, applied to the four limbs, both fists thrown forward, lowering and erupting with intent straightforward, an impressive momentum."

Fu Zhe listened to Yan Chuan’s stream of explanations, observing and fighting, gradually gaining more understanding of the ’Horse Form.’

Qi-lifting and exertion, aligned with intent spirit, regulated breath, both fists united, Dantian’s Qi lifting erupted through both cheeks, dropping and smashing, punching with elbows wrapped at the sides enclosing the body with whole force upwards, fierce strength hoof kicking, with the valiant steed’s bold attack in mind, fists drilling upwards like lifting a cauldron, shielding both cheeks and flipping downwards, yang covering yin punching!

This ’Horse Form Boxing’ is, in fact, derived and blended by Yan Chuan from the ’Gongzi Fuhu Fist’ of ’Cheng Family Boxing’ and the ’Ten Forms Boxing,’ both hands rising and falling together, with exchanges and pressing, covering and punching.

Both hands!

Both fists!

Like Tai Mountain Pressing!

Fu Zhe attentively watched and listened, noticing Yan Chuan’s ’Horse Form Boxing’ seemed to possess the natural traits of a dragon, containing the power to flip rivers and seas. The punches were tough externally and soft internally, containing a mysterious emptiness within the heart, and the form of plentiful Qi in the Dantian.

Profoundly wonderful!

Truly advanced!

It was nothing less than the ’Chicken-shaped Boxing,’ even the nearby Yellow Maned Horse was entranced, neighing and trampling, practicing boxing!
