With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 142 Cruel Martial Arts, Riddle Fist Technique (3k)

The new instrument was indeed very sensitive; it produced the results as soon as he finished punching once.

"Everyone, please use it."

Meng Chuan stood up and gave up his seat. After he left, everyone looked at the results displayed on the machine and exclaimed that they were terrifying.

"How can I even practice? We're all the same age. I've only practiced a fraction of what Brother Chuan is capable of."

It's important to know that having eight points of Qi and Blood is the standard for passing the fourth stage of the exam, and you have a great chance of getting into Yong'an Martial Arts University.

"You should be content; I haven't even reached half of that."

"If I were Chuan Ge, passing all seven levels at 17 would be so awesome, holy crap!"

Some people can't help but lament the cruelty of martial arts, where one has absolutely no control over their own destiny.

Seeing the negative atmosphere, Principal Zong reprimanded:

Instead of wasting time sighing and complaining, you should practice your boxing more!

It would be great if I could get into a good university like Wuhan University, and then take care of my parents and give back to society in the future.

Stop daydreaming all day and get back to practicing!

He looked at all this helplessly, but there was nothing he could do. The world of martial arts was just that cruel, and no matter how eloquent he was, he couldn't persuade the heartbroken crowd.

At the same age, some people have already reached a high level of expertise and possess extraordinary skills.

However, some people are still stuck at the basics and their skills are still rusty.

Only those who have experienced it know the hardships they have endured.
Meng Chuan knew that he was no longer suited to practicing boxing with his classmates from Ping An Middle School.

A huge gap can lead to negativity and despair.

"Uncle Zong, from now on, besides practicing sparring, I'll be going to the Southwest Associated University to practice boxing. It's a special privilege that Principal Yang gave me."

But rest assured, I am still a student of Ping'an Middle School, and I will still participate in the martial arts exam as one of our students.

Principal Zong nodded with a sigh. Meng Chuan's rapid growth to this level in such a short time was indeed beyond human imagination.

"Go ahead and practice your boxing well, showcasing the spirit of our school."

If anyone bullies you, come back. We won't take it.

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, even though he had beaten one of the students half to death on his very first day there.
But this is all out of concern from his elders, so he should accept it with a smile.

He looked up at the broken wooden stakes in the martial arts arena; their surfaces were cracked, and wood chips hung down like pimples.

Some of the iron core piles were covered with fist marks from previous punches.

Then I think back to the various high-tech martial arts facilities inside the UN General Assembly.

Meng Chuan clenched his fist secretly and said to Principal Zong:
"Uncle Zong, I will definitely replace our school with brand new martial arts facilities in the future, so that the younger students can practice martial arts freely."

Principal Zong said with a faint smile:

"It's good that you have the intention. Keep it up and practice hard!"

After Meng Chuan went to fight Chen Tiepai, he called his nephew Zong Ping.

[Your brother is an outsider at the UN preparatory high school, so please take good care of him.]

Zongping said speechlessly:
Uncle, do I still need to take care of Brother Chuan? He's practically invincible in school.

Principal Zong: "."

Meng Chuan cherished the time he spent sparring with Chen Tie. If he could improve his skills in the four hard skills, he wouldn't be able to get them for free.

Although there are teachers practicing hard skills in the preparatory high school of the United Nations University.

But after learning more, I realized it had nothing to do with me.

Even school teachers need academic credits to get help from others.

Even if Principal Yang Huan were his own grandfather, it wouldn't matter; this is the rule that governs Wuhan University.

"I'm not even a student at the National Union University, so what credits would I get?"

So in the end, he had to spend money to hire a martial arts master for a sparring match, and Meng Chuan accepted his fate.

"Get back to practicing your boxing! First, secure a spot in the competition through affiliation, then go participate in the Supernova Tournament and make some money!"

After buying the protective suit, his wallet was much emptier, but he was determined to win the National Martial Arts Supernova Competition!
After lunch, Meng Chuan got ready and went to Master Luo's house.

The master and apprentice sat on the sofa and chatted about martial arts principles for a while, until they had almost digested their lunch.

Luo Guanyun said:
"Are you ready to learn the Five Elements Universe Fist?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

"no problem."

He had been eyeing it for a long time and couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

The two walked towards the martial arts room, and Luo Guanyun said with a smile:

"Come on, I'll teach you now. First-class martial arts are indeed a major challenge for martial artists, and the Five Elements Universe Fist is notoriously difficult to master."

But with your talent and aptitude, I have great confidence in you; you'll definitely make a name for yourself with it!

Luo Guanyun first gestured for Meng Chuan to sit cross-legged, then took out a thick boxing manual and began to introduce it:
"This is the Five Elements Universe Fist, which I believe is the most powerful and comprehensive Xingyi Fist below the level of true skill, without exception!"

It has strict requirements for practitioners, but its effects are incredibly powerful, especially in terms of its ability to promote the flow of qi and blood.

If you cultivate even just one of these techniques to perfection, you can allow your Qi and blood to enter the nine gates.

Furthermore, with your extensive Five Elements Fist foundation, you will be able to easily reach the ninth level limit.

In other words, to master a top-tier martial art, you only need to practice this one style.

Once you've become a martial artist, it's not too late to learn other top-tier martial arts styles; you can learn them much faster that way.

Meng Chuan nodded and said:

"Master Luo, what are the prerequisites for the Primordial Spirit Seed Thunder Technique?" Before he could finish speaking, Luo Guanyun interrupted:
"Let's see how things go when I get back from the island nation. Don't worry too much, just focus on learning this martial art."

"I understand, Master Luo."

Meng Chuan took the Five Elements Universe Fist manual; it was a thick, intimidating-looking book.

"There's no need to rush to practice top-notch movement techniques. In fact, increasing your Qi and blood can also improve your burst speed."

Top-tier footwork is more about skillful application of techniques; without the support of internal energy and proper fist techniques, it's all for naught.

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement.

The preparatory course at the United Nations University included a body movement class, and he planned to learn it from scratch so he wouldn't have to bother Master Luo.

Lin Yue's eight-step cicada-catching technique was indeed brilliant that day. Whether you practice it or not, as long as you get the hang of it, you've already gained something from it.

He cleared his mind of distractions, carefully reviewed the boxing technique, and then listened to Master Luo's explanation:
"This method was first created by King Xiang, which you already know, so I won't go into details."

Let me tell you about the process of perfecting this method. It was improved and created by Li Zhenyue, the head of the boxing department of the North Union University and a professor at the university.

This top-tier martial art was created by extracting its essence and integrating it with the theories of the physical body and the Five Elements and Five Organs.

Meng Chuanxin looked on with longing; such a talented martial artist was also his lifelong pursuit.

"When you have the opportunity to go to headquarters in the future, you will see his charisma. Alright, snap out of it and let me continue."

Luo Guanyun paused for a moment, then continued:

"The so-called Five Aggregates, in martial arts thought, are the convergence of the essence of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, encompassing the unity of material imagination and spiritual methods."

Qiankun represents grand concepts such as heaven and earth, the universe, yin and yang, and symbolizes the operating laws and basic order of all things in the world.

Of course, you don't need to think about it so profoundly; this is just a beautiful imagination of this technique.

The Five Aggregates represent the essence of the Five Elements, and Qiankun is your own physical world!
Therefore, combining the two into a unified style, creating a fist technique that aligns with the laws of heaven and earth, is the [Five Elements Universe Fist]!

Meng Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. As expected of a first-rate boxing style, he was quite the riddle master.

Just listening to Master Luo's explanation, the difficulty level is more than one level higher than Luo's Bajiquan.

"When you reach perfection in your practice, you will be able to gather the Qi of the five elements within your body."

Regardless of the environment, you can switch between the five elements at any time to enhance your fist power by matching your own attributes to the environment.

That's why I say this is the strongest Xingyi Quan technique under true skill!
This method encompasses willpower training, the concentration of the five elements, and even touches upon the transformation of mental images into reality.

Therefore, if you can perfect it, it will be of immense benefit to your future development as a martial artist.

Meng Chuan nodded. Having mastered this technique, he could be considered to have truly entered the world of martial arts.

He recalled Master Luo's ability to command wind and lightning and asked curiously:
"Master, when you use thunder magic, do you borrow the thunder and fire energy between heaven and earth? Is that what is called transforming reality with intention?"

Luo Guanyun said with a smile:

"Yes and no, your mind works pretty fast."

But to achieve this level, it's not as simple as just borrowing air. Otherwise, if I were fighting at sea, wouldn't I be completely helpless?

True Qi and Qi are not the same thing. My Thunder Technique is a product born from the primordial spirit and true Qi.

If there is a vast thunder in the world, even if he fights a grandmaster alone, his master can still win!
It's too early to tell you the secrets behind it now; we can't possibly understand them all yet.

"Once you break through to the level of a martial artist and master the methods of inner vision and true qi, I will explain it to you in detail. I believe that day is not far off."

"Understood, Master Luo."

Meng Chuan wasn't overly ambitious; he focused on practicing diligently as long as he had the training panel.

Just like when I first practiced Luo's Eight Extremes, I was completely clueless, but now I understand its principles and have reached perfection.

"Haha, what I look forward to most is not the optimization of lightning techniques, but the day when you completely surpass me."

Luo Guanyun laughed heartily as he spoke, these were his heartfelt words.

Meng Chuan nodded. Master Luo was genuinely good to him, and he wouldn't be ungrateful.

I secretly said:

“Master Luo, my thoughts are different from yours. What I look forward to most is the day when I can help you eliminate the hidden dangers of thunder magic.”

Luo Guanyun was very serious when teaching boxing. He put on a stern face and said in a loud voice:

"If you want to surpass me, then train harder! I'll be waiting for that day!"

"Let me demonstrate this method for you first. I've only dabbled in this technique myself, and I'll stop once I've mastered it."

But I'm more than capable of teaching you, kid. Just watch!

As soon as Luo Guanyun finished speaking, he took a big step forward, then turned his palms inward and slowly pushed them forward, with a Tai Chi-like starting posture.

"To understand the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, one must first use one's body and will to sense the Five Elements Qi contained in the universe."

This step is simply called "Qi cultivation." In short, it means you need to meditate while breathing, just like the "Qi cultivation and armor-wearing" breathing method you practice. You can just change your mindset to run it.

By the way, these movements require a high degree of concentration; it's easy to become fatigued and unable to continue practicing.

"Are you still practicing Dragon Meditation? This method can help you concentrate your energy and refresh your mind, so keep practicing."

Meng Chuan nodded and said:
"Master Luo, I practice every day, but I don't know why my progress in this method is so slow."

Luo Guanyun comforted him:

"Just keep practicing. I've said it before, your talent doesn't lie in this."

He then said:

"Try it first, follow my movements and practice breathing meditation."

"it is good."

Meng Chuan did as instructed, and after several dozen breaths, nothing happened.
"Master, I feel nothing at all."
