Chapter 206: Chapter 179 ’Black Tide’ Eruption! [Last 4 hours, ask for monthly pass!]

"The way he’s drinking—"

Cao Jun was taken aback.

She watched as Yan Chuan devoured and drank recklessly for three whole days, during which the Monkey Wine never stopped, he just kept drinking.

For an ordinary person, they’d be drunk and burning up by now.

But Yan Chuan seemed perfectly fine.

"How much strength is he gaining from this?" Cao Jun envied. The Iron-Armed Monkeys, because they often drank Monkey Wine, possessed incredible strength. They didn’t understand cultivation methods, didn’t know about Qi-Blood or Inner Strength, but with the strength gained solely from Monkey Wine, they could break through the limits of Qi-Blood, growing comparable to Fourth Grade, Seventh Grade, or even Innate Level.

At this rate, with Yan Chuan drinking so recklessly, how much strength could he gain?

A thousand?

Ten thousand?

Or possibly more?

With so much Monkey Wine consumed, how much could Yan Chuan’s strength increase?

Fourth Grade?

Seventh Grade?

Or even more?

The thought was unimaginable!

In any case, Cao Jun was envious.

Fortunately, while Yan Chuan guzzled ahead, Cao Jun also reaped significant benefits over the three days. She too was drinking, though less, consuming three to five pounds daily, and standing in the Gravity Domain to practice the Fu Hu Stance and Three Transformations Blood Transformation Skill, making rapid progress and a surge in strength.

What she initially thought was a dead end ended up being a blessing.

Cao Jun found it intriguing.

Moreover, it wasn’t just her physical strength that improved.

Her martial arts skills and cultivation also advanced.

Yan Chuan first taught her the Tiger Form and Monkey Form from the Twelve Forms, helping her further purify the Tiger Bloodline from her jumbled bloodline, and to find a clue to her Monkey Bloodline.

Yan Chuan focused on teaching the Tiger Form and Monkey Form.

But occasionally, he would touch on the other ten forms of the Twelve Forms, with special emphasis on the Eagle Form and Swallow Form.

"Tiger!"

"Monkey!"

"Eagle!"

"Swallow!"

Cao Jun sat in meditation, operating the Three Transformations Blood Transformation Skill, sensing her messy bloodline, and using the Tiger Form, Monkey Form, Eagle Form, and Swallow Form as guidance to slowly sort it out, to streamline it.

’Pure Blood’ is essentially this process of sorting, slowly unraveling from a tangled mess into a clear path.

In the process—

Sorting is needed!

Discrimination is needed!

Choices are needed!

Ultimately, recognizing some parts of the bloodline, retaining some parts, and discarding others is the process of ’purification’.

Cao Jun originally focused on the Tiger Fist, mainly targeting the Tiger Bloodline.

But now, there were also the Monkey, Eagle, and Swallow bloodlines, making it more complex and tedious, but also offering more possibilities and choices.

The more bloodlines she purified, the more attributes she could enhance, and the stronger her ’Pure Blood’ level strength would be.

In the latter half of reaching ’Pure Blood’—

Choosing a bloodline, discarding others one by one, and consuming them, her bloodline became purer, her Qi-Blood and strength constantly improved.

The more bloodlines purified,

The more bloodlines consumed,

The greater Cao Jun’s strength increased.

She previously specialized in the Tiger Bloodline, and it was becoming more challenging, but now, by practicing the Twelve Forms, under the pressure and cover of the Tiger Bloodline, she could perceive the Monkey, Eagle, and Swallow bloodlines, which was a delightful surprise.

It was foreseeable—

After sorting these bloodlines, using these mixed bloodlines, Cao Jun’s strength could further increase.

Cao Jun!

The future is promising!

...

Cao Jun made great progress, with a bright future ahead.

Yan Chuan was even more so—

Monkey Wine!

Xingyi Boxing!

Mutual Teaching and Learning!

Gravity Domain!

Layer upon layer, Yan Chuan’s strength progressed rapidly in these three days, unable to stop.

[Your ’Xingyi Boxing’ has improved, Skill Level +2]

[Your ’Xingyi Boxing’ has improved, Skill Level +3]

...

[Your ’Cloud Whale Skill’ has improved, Second Realm: First Glimpse → Third Realm: Entering the Hall]

[Your ’Returning Mountain Technique’ has improved, Second Realm: First Glimpse → Third Realm: Entering the Hall]

...

[Task One: Inspiration +1]

[Task Two: Inspiration +3]

[Task Three: Inspiration +5]

[Task Four: Inspiration +5]

...

Boxing!

Inner Strength!

Derivation Skill!

All are progressing.

The most rapidly increasing is, of course, strength.

And this speed of progress is ongoing, and will continue.

However.

This day.

"Something’s not right!"

Yan Chuan stopped cultivating, stepping out of the Gravity Domain, feeling uneasy.

Looking again at the Iron-Armed Monkeys in the Gravity Domain—

Three days had passed.

The Iron-Armed Monkeys trapped in the Gravity Domain were no longer just the original thirteen. With more monkeys coming to rescue, like Gourd Brothers saving Grandpa, their numbers grew to thirty-two.

All thirty-two Iron-Armed Monkeys were encircled by Yan Chuan within a seven-zhang range, which was around three zhang from the Heavy Mountain Shield.

Once trapped, they had to listen to his boxing lectures, watch him practice boxing.

And at this moment, there was an uneasiness among these Iron-Armed Monkeys, appearing restless.

"This isn’t right!"

Yan Chuan climbed up to a high platform, taking the Thousand-mile Mirror, looking out from the mouth of Shuilian Cave, through the Carefree Waterfall, towards the outside of Iron Arm Monkey Mountain.

The mountains were still mountains!

The water was still water!

The trees were still trees!

At first glance, nothing seemed different.

But in another moment, Yan Chuan felt a tremor in his vision, the earth seemed to be trembling, and through the lens, he finally saw—

Birds and beasts startled.

Trees trembling.

Though far away, his ears seemed to be filled with the roars and hoofbeats of beasts. The vegetation between the mountains and waters was lush, but at this time, he saw dust rising, obscuring the sky, as if the whole world was plunged into chaos in an instant.

In the distance.

The mountains seemed to tremble!

That lake water trembled too!

It was like the roar of nature itself.

The air started to fill with a primitive and oppressive atmosphere, the wind carrying the scent of venomous serpents and fierce beasts.

"A Beast Tide?"

Yan Chuan realized, and at the same time, he saw—

Surrounded by mountains, peaks and ridges, deep valleys and gorges, birds and beasts were flying, starting from the foothills of the mountains, emerging from the mountainside, traversing valleys, and climbing ridges, undulating up and down.

A thousand birds flew together!

Tens of thousands of beasts stampeded!

"The ’Beast Tide’ is here!"

Yan Chuan realized.

He held up the Thousand-mile Mirror, continuing to observe, seeing outside Shuilian Cave, outside Iron Arm Mountain, what originally seemed like a painting now torn to shreds, fragmented.

Looking closer—

Between the mountains and waters, at some point, there appeared streams of black tides, flowing like tributaries of a river, either rushing down from the mountain tops or ascending from the base of the mountains.

Rapidly occupying the mountains and rivers!

Yan Chuan observed carefully, realizing this wasn’t black rivers or black waters, but rather—

"Black Rats!"

"Rat Tide!"

Millions of Black Rats seemed to receive an order simultaneously, surging out from underground holes, converging into streams of ’Black Rivers’, sweeping over the entire Nanyue Lake.

Vast!

Impressive!

Indescribable.

Compared to the outside, being in Shuilian Cave, Yan Chuan felt as if he were in a paradise secluded from the troubles outside.

"The ’Black Tide’ leads to a ’Beast Tide’!"

"Nanxiong City is in trouble!"

Yan Chuan lamented for ’Nanxiong City’ and for himself.

An old saying goes: One cannot have both fish and bear’s paw.

Inside Shuilian Cave, drinking Monkey Wine and rapidly gaining strength was a blessing.

But at the same time, he was stuck in Shuilian Cave, unable to go out, unable to participate in the fight against the ’Beast Tide’, unable to hunt Alien Beasts, unable to obtain Exotic Treasures, unable to gain benefits from the ’Black Tide’ and ’Beast Tide’.

This was a regret.

Cao Jun didn’t feel regret, only felt fortunate—

"A Beast Tide!"

Her beautiful eyes widened, grateful that she was in Shuilian Cave at this moment, undisturbed. If she were outside, she’d probably be in a precarious situation, facing danger.

But amidst the relief, Cao Jun also had worries: "What about my elder brother and the others—"

Cao Jun’s heart was complicated.

On one hand, hoping Cao Yan and the other two had already left Nanyue Lake, avoiding this ’Beast Tide’.

On the other hand, if Cao Yan and the others really couldn’t stay for even three days and left, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of abandonment.

In short.

It’s complicated.

...

"The ’Beast Tide’ has erupted!"

Far in Divine Doctor Valley, Wang Zhengyi was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, and strode out of his room.

In the valley.

In the courtyard.

Everything was peaceful and harmonious.

Yu Jinpeng was sparring with Su Ye, his spirit focused in his eyes, following his hands, as his hands followed his eyes, his eyes followed the momentum, gazing as the momentum flowed, his fists like meteors, eyes like lightning, this was ’Mysterious Trace Boxing’.

Under the guidance of Yan Chuan.

After a month of hard practice.

Yu Jinpeng’s ’Mysterious Trace Boxing’ had achieved remarkable proficiency—

Pivoting, drilling, swallowing and spitting, bowing and looking up, rising and falling, flipping, looping, sidestepping, hooking, spiraling, jumping, twisting, bending, attacking and defending, and intertwining!

His movements were lithe as wind, his waist like a snake’s movement!

His movement technique masterfully employed, one technique serving multiple purposes, adapting at will, entangled in combat with Su Ye.

"The Tiger Form embraces the stance, the Monkey Form intercepts, the Horse Form adjusts, and the Chicken Form squats."

"With the foundation of Xingyi Boxing’s ’Twelve Forms’, practicing ’Mysterious Trace Boxing’ progresses very fast!"

Su Ye was considered half a step from breaking the limit, his boxing skills might not surpass Yu Jinpeng much, but his hard strength was definitely superior. Now, he was feeding moves to Yu Jinpeng, in fact, he had been aiding him multiple times over the past month, witnessing Yu Jinpeng make rapid progress, mastering Yan Chuan’s self-created ’Mysterious Trace Boxing’ to its current state.

If his Qi-Blood could keep up, reaching the Qi-Blood limit, it would be uncertain who would be stronger between the two.

In the courtyard.

Not only Yu Jinpeng!

Not only Su Ye!

Not only were these two sparring.

In addition, Jin Yutang and Peng Quan were also dueling, the ’Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber’ against ’Eighteen Methods of Leveling Stick’, Jin Yutang on the foundation of ’Cheng Family Boxing’ and ’Xingyi Boxing’, further studied and researched ’Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber’, progressing extremely fast. In just a month, he could spar evenly with someone like Peng Quan, who was at the limit of Qi-Blood.

However, Peng Quan went easy, as his Qi-Blood was stronger after all. In learning ’Eighteen Methods of Leveling Stick’, he was also proficient. When sparring with Jin Yutang, the focus was more on the subtlety of the staff technique rather than oppressing Jin Yutang.

The clang clang clang!

Sword and stick clashes!

A great duel!

This was Jin Yutang and Peng Quan.

Looking further—

Zhong Hui and Huang Geng were also fighting.

’Wind Thunder Palm’ versus ’Sky Flipping Palm’.

One fast and fierce!

One majestic!

The two fought fiercely, creating a lively scene.

In Divine Doctor Valley, within just a month, although none of the six had broken through the limit, each seemed to have shed their mortal coils, reaching new heights of strength.

Sparring.

Practicing martial arts.

At this time.

Wang Zhengyi strode out, calling out Jian Rong, Huo Zhen, and Shao Yancong, solemnly addressing the group: "The ’Beast Tide’ is here, we have to leave!"

Wang Zhengyi wore a serious expression.

’Black Tide’ surged!

’Beast Tide’ erupted!

The three-hundred-li Nanyue Lake was already in chaos, turned upside down.

Even the waters were in turmoil.

Nanyue Lake!

Divine Doctor Valley!

They couldn’t stay anymore!

"’Beast Tide’?"

Huo Zhen frowned, glancing towards the still calm direction of Nanyue Lake, hesitantly saying, "Is there really one?"

He hadn’t sensed a bit of disturbance.

But Wang Zhengyi was certain: "In at most an hour, we must either hide in Nanxiong City or move east and south, away from Nanyue Lake, or face great danger!"

"But Palace Master Yan is still inside."

Jian Rong also hesitated.

Beside, Yu Jinpeng spoke up: "Before Master left, he specifically instructed that if a ’Beast Tide’ erupted, we need not wait for him and should leave first."

Yan Chuan had thought it all through.

"Then—"

Jian Rong and Huo Zhen exchanged looks.

Shao Yancong looked at Wang Zhengyi, speaking solemnly: "Better safe than sorry! Let’s go first!"

The group!

Quickly relocated!
