Chapter 72: Chapter 70 Wait a minute, what kind of government office is the Xuanwu Department?! [Second update!]

"Senior Brother! Well done!"

Yu Jinpeng reversed the tide of battle, and Wei Quan jumped up in excitement, rushing over to hug his senior brother, showering him with kisses and caresses, overjoyed.

Nearby.

Che Qi was also thrilled, spinning around on the spot.

He was happy for Yu Jinpeng’s victory over his opponent.

Happy for Yu Jinpeng’s breakthrough during the battle.

Even happier from the firsthand experience to now the spectator’s perspective, witnessing Master Yan’s boundless skill in guiding disciples.

With such a master, as long as one is sincere, how can one’s martial arts not improve?

A true Buddha!

A true Buddha!

This is a true Buddha!

Che Qi was immensely joyful.

Not only Wei Quan.

Not only Che Qi.

Yan Chuan was also happy for Yu Jinpeng—

[Yu Jinpeng]

[Horse Stance (Sixth Realm): 16]

[Twelve Bridge Hands (Sixth Realm): 24]

[Tiger Form Boxing (Sixth Realm): 65]

[Crane Form Boxing (Sixth Realm): 13]

[Thousand Pounds Fall (Fourth Realm): 29]

[Gongzi Fuhu Fist (Fourth Realm): 25]

[Ten Forms Boxing (Fourth Realm): 11]

...

A fierce battle!

A teaching session!

The bottleneck that plagued Yu Jinpeng for many days completely dissolved.

Break! Break! Break!

All the boxing realms broke through.

Horse Stance!

Twelve Bridge Hands!

Tiger Form Boxing!

Crane Form Boxing!

All reached the Sixth Realm, refining fire.

Solely in terms of these foundational and intermediate boxing skills, Yu Jinpeng’s mastery is remarkable, on par with any well-known expert, fully capable of standing on his own.

A teaching session.

Progress is astonishing.

Yan Chuan was delighted, overjoyed for this primary disciple.

Meanwhile.

Through Yu Jinpeng’s breakthrough, Yan Chuan also tested the true wonders of "Daoist Cushion": "The ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ increases comprehension efficiency by 50%, effective on normal days. But when faced with bottlenecks, the difficulty for progress skyrockets tenfold, a hundredfold, making this 50% ineffective, such as for Wei Quan, or Jinpeng before today, all were stuck."

But the "Daoist Cushion" is different.

It crazily amplifies the effects of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" by 1000%!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!

Regarding specific boxing skills, in these low and high-level boxing skills, every word Yan Chuan says, every insight he imparts on boxing, can almost be precisely transmitted to Yu Jinpeng through the ’teaching method’, being fully comprehended by him.

This is no different than ’enlightenment’!

Thus, bottlenecks are easily overcome, Yu Jinpeng breaks through the realm, achieving ascension.

On the field, as for joy, Yu Jinpeng is undoubtedly the first. His usually calm face now flushed red from exertion, mixed with the joy of his breakthrough, becoming even more flushed, he knelt heavily before Yan Chuan, "Master’s great kindness, I have nothing to repay!"

Today’s battle, Yan Chuan’s guidance, can be said as enlightenment.

If in the future, Yu Jinpeng becomes a grandmaster, leaves his name in history, this battle, this day, would be a significant turning point, known as ’Enlightenment in the Advanced Study Hall’.

Yu Jinpeng knows, from today onwards, his foundation is solid, his future limitless, everything different, a meteoric rise is imminent, indescribably excited inside.

After eleven years of silence.

Today, finally enlightened.

And all of this owes to Yan Chuan’s creation.

This is a rebirth’s grace!

Yu Jinpeng knelt sincerely.

Yan Chuan saw this, smiled and said, "Between master and disciple, no need for such politeness." He noticed that Yu Jinpeng was exhausted from the battle and couldn’t stand up, turned to Wei Quan and said, "Quickly help your senior brother to his feet."

"Yes!"

Wei Quan promptly assisted him up.

On this side, the master, disciple, and brothers were in harmony.

But on the other side, the atmosphere with Tian Hu and Lu Qing had reached a freezing point.

"Lu Qing!"

"You’ve let me down too much!"

"In July, you lost to Yan Chuan, I thought you would feel shame and grow stronger from it."

"But now?"

"Not to mention Yan Chuan, you even lost to his disciple?"

"Huh?"

"Lu Qing! Aren’t you ashamed!"

Tian Hu was fuming.

Lu Qing didn’t lose badly, wasn’t severely injured, but nonetheless lost, his face gloomy, too lazy to respond to Tian Hu, he just looked up at the other side, looked at Yan Chuan, then at Yu Jinpeng whom Wei Quan was supporting, whom he never regarded seriously, loudly declaring, "Senior Brother! Your master-apprentice relationship, I will win back! I will win!"

He clenched his fists, and with those words, stopped looking, turned and left.

From beginning to end.

Lu Qing never took Tian Hu seriously, didn’t take the words of this academic tutor to heart.

Heh!

An academic tutor who can’t even intimidate or subdue his own research students, does he deserve to lecture him?

Eat shit!

Lu Qing left.

Left decisively.

"Wretch!"

Tian Hu only felt his face burning, with more than ten people behind him buzzing nonstop, seemingly all discussing, all mocking, he held his surprise weapon treasure blade, intending to regain face.

But thinking of Lv Jun.

Thinking of Lu Qing again.

Both had decent strength, yet they both lost, this indicates—

"Today is not suitable for anything!"

"Momentum is weak."

"I should not engage further."

Tian Hu had a very strong premonition, if he acted now, it was very likely he would also suffer a defeat, which would truly be utterly disgraceful.

Humph!

Porcelain does not fight with bricks!

Better to bide his time.

Best to disrupt this ’Advanced Study Hall’ before doing anything else.

Tian Hu knew, Yan Chuan’s ’Advanced Study Hall’ already had considerable reputation and a good reputation, and after today’s event, once the tales of Lv Jun and Lu Qing’s defeats spread, Yan Chuan will likely become even more revered among the Guangling Academy’s graduate entrance exam cohort, attracting a continuous stream of clients and students.

However, he had his methods: "Yan Chuan, your ’Advanced Study Hall’ is illegal and non-compliant, I advise you to close it early, don’t make things too ugly."

Tian Hu pointed at Yan Chuan.

Then.

He turned to the sixteen academy disciples present for advanced study and warned sternly: "I’ve memorized your appearances. If you continue to stay, I’ll ensure not a single academy tutor will admit you!"

With that said.

Tian Hu left, taking Lv Jun and three others with him.

The sixteen disciples who were supposed to attend a class together exchanged glances, someone laughed: "Among thousands of academy disciples, how can he remember a damn thing!"

Hahaha!

The hall was instantly filled with a joyous atmosphere.

...

[Experience +10]

...

[Task One: Inspiration +1]

[Task Two: Inspiration +5]

...

[Your ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ is upgraded, Fifth Realm of Mastery → Sixth Realm Refining]

[Your ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist’ is upgraded, Fifth Realm of Mastery → Sixth Realm Refining]

...

Yan Chuan watched Tian Hu leave, glanced at today’s gains, a smile appeared on his face.

Tian Hu came to find trouble, yet he didn’t know that, from the two sparring sessions earlier, the insights he gained in boxing instead became the nutrients for Yan Chuan’s progress.

"The more of this kind of provocation, the better."

Yan Chuan wished for many more occurrences.

But as for what Tian Hu said before leaving, Yan Chuan pondered carefully, sensing the implication: "He initially planned to bring four research students under his wing to challenge my hall, intending to force my Advanced Study Hall to close, but was intimidated by me, ultimately not daring to act. However, although he left, he still has a method to ruin my Advanced Study Hall."

For example—

...

"Master Yan, ’Six Harmonies Fist’ tutor Tian Hu is currently contacting various academy tutors, deliberating to sanction your Advanced Study Hall, proposing that all academy disciples who have attended the Advanced Study Hall will not be admitted by any tutors!"

"There are also rumors in the academy claiming that Master Yan made outrageous statements, belittling academy lecturers and tutors, boasting ’one person can represent the academy’, ’one replaces a hundred thousand tutors’!"

Indeed.

Within a few days, disciples from the Great Success Boxing Club, confidants of Chen Ze, came to inform Yan Chuan.

Advanced Study Hall!

Iron-threaded Yan Chuan!

These two names have already stirred up a small storm within Guangling Academy, especially the fact that on that day, Yan Chuan didn’t take action himself, but simply guided his two disciples to successively defeat Lu Qing and Lv Jun, two research students from the Six Harmonies Fist, was witnessed, spread, and exaggerated by dozens of academy students present that day, deifying Yan Chuan and making the Advanced Study Hall immensely popular.

But the higher the heat, the more Yan Chuan attracts envy and hatred.

A large tree invites the wind!

This kind of event with the Advanced Study Hall, if done in secret, would be fine, but once exposed, once publicized, it immediately becomes a focal point.

Chen Ze’s parting words validated his concerns.

"I’m not afraid of challenges to the hall."

"What I’m afraid of is if Tian Hu manages to unite them, once Guangling Academy’s tutors refuse to accept any disciples coming from my Advanced Study Hall, the appeal for academy disciples to come here would drastically drop by ninety percent."

Truly think those Guangling Academy’s disciples come to the Advanced Study Hall to learn martial arts, improve strength?

No, no!

They are merely here to pass the graduate entrance exams, that’s why they’re willing to come, willing to spend heavily.

But once ’Advanced Study Hall’ no longer is a good remedy and shortcut for ’graduate exam’, instead becomes ’poison’, they will definitely flee faster than anyone.

"There are many academy tutors, not all would listen to Tian Hu’s incitement, that’s unrealistic."

"I can still operate this Advanced Study Hall."

Yan Chuan wasn’t in a hurry to close, every additional day of operation is a good thing. Since establishing the hall in August and now two months in, Yan Chuan has instructed all kinds of martial artists no fewer than eight hundred, maybe a thousand, of course, more accurately, this is ’person-times’, not ’people’.

His harvest was immense.

Every additional day of operation, the silver Yan Chuan earns, along with the benefits from ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, are substantial.

"Keep it running for now."

Yan Chuan thought.

However—

...

"Master Yan, this ’Advanced Study Hall’ cannot be continued!"

The fourth day after that event, October 7th, Du Head Che Zheng of the Military Suppression Department came alone, bringing bad news to Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan looked at Che Zheng: "Leader Che, what do you mean by this?"

"Master Yan, don’t misunderstand."

Che Zheng hurriedly said: "This time I’m here not on official duty, just to give Master Yan a heads up in advance."

He explained: "A few days ago, Master Yan at the Advanced Study Hall, without making any move, just through guidance, allowed his two disciples to use the weak to overcome the strong, defeating two research students from Guangling Academy, causing a sensation. There are undercurrents in Guangling Academy, Master Yan should be aware of."

Yan Chuan listened quietly.

Che Zheng continued: "Guangling Academy isn’t too concerning, as long as the higher-ups don’t care, a mere Tian Hu, some minor tutors, are nothing but clowns, disorganized. But the ’Xuanwu Department’ is different—"

"Wait."

"Leader Che, let me interrupt."

Yan Chuan stopped Che Zheng, puzzled: "What is this ’Xuanwu Department’?"

"So Master Yan wasn’t aware." Che Zheng laughed: "The court established the ’Three Martial Divisions’, split into the Military Suppression Department, Vigorous Martial Arts Department, and True Martial Bureau, names decided instantly by His Majesty back then, individually they sound great, but he didn’t foresee that in practical use, the ’Three Martial Divisions’ were too easily confused, causing many inconveniences. For years, many have complained about this issue, so recently, the court finally made revisions, among the three divisions, my ’Military Suppression Department’ name remains unchanged, the ’True Martial Bureau’ is renamed ’Cangwu Department’, and the ’Vigorous Martial Arts Department’ is renamed ’Xuanwu Department’, from then on, the three divisions changed to Military Suppression Department, Cangwu Department, and Xuanwu Department."
