With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 145 Testing the Waters, Gangzi Club (3k)

A moment later, following Zong Ping's instructions, Meng Chuan went up to the forum of the United Nations Preparatory School.

The first thing that catches the eye is three trending topics related to him.
The first post was recently uploaded, showing him brutally beating Lin Yue, which was clearly captured on camera.

Looking at his own狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face, Meng Chuan understood.

"I should find some time to mend my relationships with my classmates."

Since he would be spending a long time in pre-college training, Meng Chuan felt it was best to get along well with his classmates.

at noon.

The food at the UN General Assembly pre-college was really good, and Meng Chuan successfully got a free nutritious meal thanks to his pass.

We don't even have enough money for medicine, so we'll save as much as we can.

He ate three servings in one go, planning to audit a boxing class in the afternoon, as he needed to be well-fed to have the energy to practice boxing.

Four p.m.

After finishing the boxing lesson, Meng Chuan gained a lot.

Although the instructor did not practice Xingyi, but rather the Tiger Form Master [Patrol General Zhang Yuehu].

However, Meng Chuan still learned a lot, and Teacher Zhang gave him guidance several times regarding some of his problems with the five elements affecting his internal organs.

【Five Elements Universe Fist: Beginner (53%)】

As he became more and more proficient in the method of absorbing qi, he no longer needed to swing his arms and stretch out; he could simply stand still and circulate his qi.

However, the progress rate of the Five Elements Universe Fist did not increase much accordingly.

"Although I have never practiced this style of boxing, I am aware of its great reputation."

The slow progress is because when you inhale, the amount of Qi from the Five Elements is too small. As it flows through the five internal organs and returns to the meridians, the power to move Qi and blood is naturally insufficient.

As far as I know, no one at Yugao High School seems to practice this style of boxing. I'm a martial artist specializing in imitative styles, so I'm afraid I can't teach you the specifics of how to train it.

As he walked, he kept thinking about Zhang Yuehu's words. His car was waiting at the door.

Meng Chuan planned to go back and finish practicing his stance training so he could study how to absorb more of the five elements' energy.

At that moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Meng Chuan, in my name, shall we have another spar?"

Once Xu Qingfeng's hand had healed, his first priority was to get revenge.

He felt that he had underestimated his opponent last time on the top of Xiangwang's tomb.

Although I haven't practiced boxing much lately, this period of leisure has allowed me to deepen my understanding of Yunyi.

Xu Qingfeng thought that, at the very least, they could at least manage a draw.

"Okay, shall we go to the arena on the second floor?"

The two rushed to the martial arts arena. Meng Chuan was in a hurry to go back and practice his stance, while Xu Qingfeng was eager to prove himself.

Standing on the ring, the two assumed their fighting stances.

"I'll try out the new boxing style. Fists and kicks have no eyes, so be careful."

Meng Chuan wanted to test the Five Elements Universe Fist to see how effective it was in actual combat.

Although my current proficiency in boxing is only at the beginner level, I benefit from my foundation in fire-attribute boxing.

In actual combat, channeling inner fire to unleash a fiery punch can still be effective.

As soon as they started fighting, Xu Qingfeng felt even greater pressure than he had felt on the mountaintop.

Meng Chuan has made progress in many boxing techniques during this period. Although his qi and blood have not yet broken through the eighth level, they have improved considerably.

With fists flying back and forth, Xu Qingfeng was completely on the defensive and could only use Cloud Intent and Bagua to keep deflecting Meng Chuan's attacks.

Meng Chuan could sense that Xu Qingfeng's willpower had indeed improved, but it was still not enough in front of him.

I haven't practiced killing intent much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't made any progress.

Meng Chuan's killing intent was still in the first stage of condensation, but after being engulfed, it became much more solid than before.

Seizing the opportunity, Meng Chuan leaped up and threw a swinging punch, his inner fire energy quickly attaching to the tip of his fist, mixed with killing intent, striking Xu Qingfeng's waist.

Xu Qingfeng dodged to the side, but was still forced to the side of the ring by the heavy punch.

As soon as I regained my balance, I immediately felt a burning sensation in my waist.

Looking down, I saw that the fabric around my waist had been burned through with a large hole.

"Damn, you've ruined my clothes with that iron! What kind of boxing are you practicing?"

The uniforms of the United University Preparatory High School were designed with students' martial arts training in mind, and great effort was put into their elasticity, durability, and density, making them difficult to damage under normal circumstances.

"How was the Five Elements Universe Fist I just learned?"

"Awesome, I've tried this Xiang King's Legacy Martial Arts before, it's too difficult to get started."

"That was a good punch! Call me when you spar with Meng Jiaolong next time; I want to watch."

Meng Chuan was speechless. Wouldn't that just turn into hooligan boxing?
"Slow down, I'll try other punches."

"Alright, I'm here to give you some pointers."

Xu Qingfeng originally came to get revenge, but he realized that if he continued to fight Meng Chuan, he would probably have to go back to his dormitory naked, so he might as well give in to him.
Taking this opportunity, Meng Chuan slowed down his attack pace and tried to unleash the other four types of energy.

Half an hour passed, and the three elements of metal, wood, and earth could barely be applied in actual combat, but the element of kidney water was not working.

Meng Chuan's foundation in water-based fist techniques is too weak. If Xu Qingfeng wants to unleash the [Layered Waves Shattering Rocks Fist], he must remain completely still, like a wooden stake, to allow enough time to unleash its power.

Xu Qingfeng couldn't take it anymore and said speechlessly:
"Stop it. You can go downstairs and drive the silicon metal piles. I'm like a wooden doll, I'm not energetic at all."

"Alright, I won't use the Five Elements Fist anymore. Let's go all out and finish this fight."

When using people, one must use them to the fullest extent. Meng Chuan switched his team to the Luo Family Eight Extremes, which he was most familiar with, and began to accumulate proficiency in breaking through limits.

After a hundred moves, Xu Qingfeng was sent flying off the stage by an elbow strike.

He plopped down on the ground, feeling dizzy.

"Awesome, your fist technique is perfected now, right? It's so much better than before."

Last time he could defend against it with ease, but this time it was much more difficult. "It's done. It's just that your hand injury delayed you for a while. It's nothing."

Meng Chuan comforted him, adding that he hadn't used his full strength this time either, as he was also taking care of the other's recovering hand injury.

"Forget it, let's go. I have a good attitude. Losing is no big deal."

Meng Chuan jumped off the stage and joked:
"Isn't this in your brother's name? Why aren't you calling me brother?"

"My hand injury hasn't fully healed yet, so this doesn't count."

After getting ready, the two walked downstairs side by side.

Xu Qingfeng asked again:

"Do you know about Lin Yue's situation? This kid recently woke up and hates you so much he's grinding his teeth. He lies in his hospital bed every day throwing things and threatening to kill you."

"Yeah. I know."

"Sigh, you decide for yourself. This bastard really deserves a beating."

Xu Qingfeng was worried that Meng Chuan was so focused on practicing martial arts that he might be tricked by Lin Yue one day without even realizing it.

"Thank you, I'm confident."

Because of this, An Jing has approached him several times, wanting him to apologize to Lin Yue.

An apology was out of the question, his answer was unequivocal.

"Are you sick? Why should I apologize? If you're so capable, let's do it again once you've recovered from your injuries."

I did hit too hard at the time, and that final slam was purely out of venting.

If Lin Yue was the first to have murderous intent, then he shouldn't blame himself for being ruthless.

Fractured bones all over his body are just a minor punishment; if it weren't for the school, his ashes would have been scattered on the spot.

Meng Chuan sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, listening to Professor Chen Yu's online course on advanced techniques through his earphones.

He looked at the panel; more than an hour of actual combat had increased his proficiency with the Five Elements Universe Fist.

Meng Chuan then realized that it was mealtime again.

He picked up the thermos from the cup holder, took out a small packet of white powder from his pocket, pinched his nose, poured it into the cup, and stirred it.

It's that painful moment again. I close my eyes, open my mouth, and down this huge cup of Five Elements Soup.

Feeling the medicine taking effect in his body, Meng Chuan felt a little better.

Master had left him little, so Meng Chuan then opened the Wuxie Town online store and bought another three months' worth of medication.

He tried for two days without taking the Five Elements Soup, relying solely on practicing boxing, and the rate at which his proficiency improved decreased by nearly half.

Martial arts can change one's destiny, but martial arts are very expensive.

It's so expensive that an average family's monthly income can't even buy a bowl of herbal soup. This is a real-life example of the saying "the poor are scholars, the rich are warriors."

"We still have enough money to last for a while, so let's not be stingy. Only by improving our skills can we make a big splash in the Supernova Tournament."

The day before yesterday, President Yang Huan of the United University called him and talked about Lin Yue's situation. In the end, he told him to prepare well, as the selection of affiliated candidates would be made right after the New Year.

"Prepare well. If you want to win a place in the Supernova Tournament, besides your boxing skills and internal energy, you can't neglect your physical strength either."

With his mastery of Iron Shirt, Chen Tie was no longer enough for Meng Chuan; he needed to find a stronger and more professional body-refining master.

Early the next morning.

Following the address given by Chen Tie, Meng Chuan arrived at No. 18 Yanta Road, Qindu District.

Huayun Mansion is also in Qindu District. It's not far from where he lives, but the location is a bit remote, so he's never been here before.

He looked up at the sign: "Gangzi Hard Kung Fu Club".

"Wow, this martial artist has a rather approachable name."

Meng Chuan lifted the thick soundproof curtain and strode in.

The receptionist sees muscle monsters every day, so when a handsome young man finally walks in, her eyes light up.

"Hello, do you have an appointment with any teacher, or are you practicing on your own?"

It was already winter, and the store was very stuffy with the air conditioning on.

Feeling the warmth, Meng Chuan casually took off his jacket, revealing a black vest that made it easy to practice his hard skills.

Said:

"I'm looking for Teacher [Iron Immortal Li Weigang]. I made an appointment by phone last night."

After taking off his jacket, Meng Chuancai revealed his well-defined muscles.

As he tucked his jacket under his elbow, his two thick pectoral muscles tensed, causing the vest to bulge high, and every muscle texture was clearly visible on the exposed areas.

The receptionist was immediately annoyed. Well, she thought he was going to be a handsome young man who came to work out, but it turned out to be a muscle maniac.

Those who can train with Brother Gang are the best among muscle fanatics.

"Sit down and have some water, and wait a moment."

After a while.

"Meng Chuan, is that right?"

Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of sturdy footsteps approached, and Meng Chuan looked up to see a burly man, over two meters tall, with a bald head and a square face, standing in front of him.

"Muscle Cube Man"

Meng Chuan thought to himself with a wicked sense of humor.

But he quickly regained his composure, because the martial arts aura emanating from him was undeniable!
"Yes, I made an appointment with you last night."

"Hmm, I remember Chen Tie mentioning to me that martial arts prodigy from Ping'an Middle School?"

Meng Chuanbao laughed.

"I can't say whether I'm a genius or not, I just like physical skills."

"Haha, good. This place is for all the hard kung fu enthusiasts in Yong'an. You've come to the right place."
