Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Tiger Crane Double Forms, I am the Grandmaster!

[Task Two]

[Development Project Name: Tiger Crane Double Forms (Difficulty: Gui★★★★★)]

[Inspiration: 100]

[Completing the task grants 'Experience+160', 'Spiritual+160'.]

...

"Inspiration."

"Enlightenment."

Yan Chuan consumed inspiration and began enlightenment.

The bits of inspiration accumulated over seven days burst forth at this moment, clearly presenting the pattern of the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms'.

Based on his knowledge—

Of course, the most crucial are the 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing'.

But in addition, there are the 'Horse Stance Pile Skill', 'Twelve Bridge Hands', and every martial art Yan Chuan has practiced, as well as every bit of knowledge he has seen, noted, and understood from past and present, including Daoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, medical books, and other scattered knowledge he barely noticed before.

But now, with the burst of inspiration and under enlightenment, Yan Chuan's 'Spirit Light' flashed, bringing it all to the surface.

Yan Chuan's knowledge.

Various inspirations.

Through one 'enlightenment', a new martial art was deduced—

"Tiger Crane Double Forms!"

...

"Excellent skill!"

Cheng Fengxiao, having seen Yan Chuan's self-created 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', was overcome with excitement: "Tiger Crane Double Forms! Excellent skill! Based on the 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing', it also incorporates the essence of the strict defense in 'Cheng Family Boxing'. This is an authentic 'Cheng Family Boxing', and even more exquisite than the 'Ten Forms Boxing' of the 'Cheng Family Boxing', no weaker than the 'Iron Wire Fist'!"

Cheng Fengxiao's insight is indeed keen.

Yan Chuan once used the difficulty level in 'Derivation Skill' to measure various martial arts—

Such as 'Flying Leg' and 'Roof and Wall Walking Skill', these have a development difficulty of 'Gui★', classified as 'One-Star Martial Arts'.

For 'Iron Cloth Shirt Skill', 'Pushing Mountain Palm', and the 'Horse Stance Pile Skill' and 'Twelve Bridge Hands' in Cheng Family Boxing, they can be considered 'Two-Star Martial Arts'.

Further up—

'Tiger Form Boxing', 'Crane Form Boxing', and 'Gongzi Fuhu Fist' are even stronger, roughly classified as 'Three-Star Martial Arts'.

And the advanced boxing skills of 'Ten Forms Boxing' in Cheng Family Boxing can be considered 'Four-Star Martial Arts'.

Therefore, the absolute skill 'Iron Wire Fist' in Cheng Family Boxing is 'Five-Star Martial Art', and is of the same grade as 'Tiger Crane Double Forms'.

It is because he sees this point, recognizes the height of 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', that Cheng Fengxiao, who has always hoped to carry forward the 'Cheng Family Boxing', is so excited—

"Tiger Crane Double Forms is no weaker than Iron Wire Fist!"

"From now on, the absolute skills of 'Cheng Family Boxing' have increased from one to two, and the foundation is stronger!"

Cheng Fengxiao patted Yan Chuan's shoulder, overflowing with excitement and joy, he couldn't wait: "Quick, show me again, slower this time, explain clearly, I want to take a close look."

"As many times as Master wants to see, disciple will perform."

Yan Chuan smiled and punched again.

[Your 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' has been improved, First Realm: Beginner → Second Realm: First Glimpse.]

[Your 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' has been improved, Second Realm: First Glimpse → Third Realm: Entering the Hall.]

[Your 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' has been improved, Third Realm: Entering the Hall → Fourth Realm: Slightly Accomplished.]

[Your 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' has been improved, Fourth Realm: Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery.]

...

It has only been two hours since developing 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', having performed it only three to five times, yet Yan Chuan's accomplishment in this 'latest absolute skill of Cheng Family Boxing' has already surged to the Fifth Realm—

Integration!

Yan Chuan was delighted but not surprised.

On one hand, the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' was his own development and creation, and he was extremely familiar with this martial art, making theoretical mastery thorough, only lacking actual practice.

On the other hand, the 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' was created based on 'Tiger Form Boxing', 'Crane Form Boxing', and 'Cheng Family Boxing'. Yan Chuan already had a deep foundation in these martial arts, so when he practiced 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', progress was rapid.

Furthermore, while demonstrating 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' to Cheng Fengxiao, the 'Mutual Teaching and Learning' was triggered, and Cheng Fengxiao's feedback contributed to Yan Chuan's rapid mastery and improvement.

Combining several aspects.

In a short time, integration!

...

Bang!

In the backyard, the master and disciple faced off, Yan Chuan retreated three steps, and Cheng Fengxiao stepped back one step, his face full of smiles: "You created 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', your understanding is thorough, and your martial arts accomplishment is not inferior to mine. In ancient times, you could be called a grandmaster. What you lack is no more than accumulating inner strength, strengthening Qi-Blood, and training muscle and bone through hard work. Given your realm, you won't need ten years to surpass your teacher in every aspect."

Earlier, Cheng Fengxiao and Yan Chuan sparred, both proficient in 'Cheng Family Boxing'—

Cheng Fengxiao had the advantage due to age, broader experience, and more powerful inner strength, Qi-Blood, and muscle and bone than Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan excelled with a deeper foundation in 'Cheng Family Boxing' and a more thorough grasp of 'Tiger Crane Double Forms'.

Master and disciple—

Cheng Family Boxing against Cheng Family Boxing!

Iron Wire Fist against Tiger Crane Double Forms!

This match, although neither side used their full strength, clearly confirmed—

"In the past, you would hardly find opponents in Guangling City."

The peak of the past was just like this.

But unfortunately, now it's a new era.

"No!"

"Not unfortunate!"

"Rather than experiencing the loneliness of a master in the old Guangling City, I much prefer the current era of thriving martial arts."

"In the past, I had no way forward."

"But in the new era, there is still a path ahead!"

From the day he created 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', Yan Chuan's martial path rose, entering a brand new level.

Moving forward.

In the old times, every step forward was pioneering and extremely difficult.

But in the new era, what Yan Chuan needs to do is unveil the secrets and pursue the peak figures among new faction martial artists, step by step catching up and surpassing them.

"When one day, I have surpassed the grandmasters of various schools and new heroes, that will be the real challenge."

Ambitious and candid before his master, Yan Chuan made no concealment of his ambitions.

"Old times, Old School."

"New times, New Faction."

Watching his disciple full of spirit, Cheng Fengxiao also felt stirred: "'Cheng Family Boxing' has someone to inherit it and reach a new level, I too must consider where to go from here."

...

Cheng Fengxiao was pondering the future, Yan Chuan was also thinking: "'Tiger Crane Double Forms' has greatly increased my martial arts accomplishment, nearly catching up with Master. Next, besides intensively practicing 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' and 'Iron Wire Fist', I must continue developing higher and more exquisite martial arts to further enhance my strength."

'Tiger Crane Double Forms' is already 'Five-Star'.

Further on, Yan Chuan looks down on skills of the same level. He wants to create martial arts more powerful than 'Iron Wire Fist' and 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' based on 'Cheng Family Boxing'.

"Based on 'Horse Stance Pile Skill' and 'Twelve Bridge Hands', combine the strengths of 'Ten Forms Boxing', 'Iron Wire Fist', and 'Tiger Crane Double Forms'—"

'Ten Forms Boxing', fast, steady, powerful, with an emphasis on speed, led by forms such as 'Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Leopard, Crane, Lion, Elephant, Horse, Monkey, and Leopard'.

'Iron Wire Fist', utilizing yin and yang, balancing soft and hard.

'Tiger Crane Double Forms', imitating animal forms based on 'Horse Stance Pile Skill', compact movements, vigorous strength, rooted, powerful voice and force, majestic, and imposing.

Integrating the advantages of these three boxing techniques, Yan Chuan, after much thought, finally designed the next martial art to be developed—
