With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 146 A Blend of East and West: Secrets of Acupuncture Points (3k)

Immediately afterwards, Li Weigang said seriously:
"However, one thing is one thing. You can use the martial arts-level fitness equipment in the lobby for free; I won't charge you a penny."

But private sparring lessons definitely come with a fee; no one will give without expecting anything in return.

He then pointed to the side and continued:

"There are price lists for several sparring teachers on the wall. As for mine, it's three thousand for half an hour."

I don't do those superficial things here, like getting free courses with membership fees.

The price is per session only. If you want to save time, you can buy more sessions if you wish.

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood. Chen Tie had told him all of this, and he had come after a great deal of determination.

【Iron Immortal Li Weigang】, one of the few martial arts masters of hard kung fu in Yong'an City.

I can train all four hard skills together and use double the skill points for one round of attacks. It costs 6,000, which is not expensive!

Meng Chuan was furious. Just the treatment with the Five Elements Soup, plus the Bone Tempering and Blood-Building Ointment and medicinal paste, cost him over 20,000 yuan a day.
"If this continues, we'll have to ask our master's wife for money."

Meng Chuan could only pin his hopes on the Supernova Tournament; he really didn't want to bring it up unless absolutely necessary.

Coming to his senses, he followed Li Weigang inside.

After passing the reception area, you'll find yourself in the fitness hall, filled with various heavy-duty fitness equipment suitable for martial arts practitioners.

There were people practicing in the training area, observing Meng Chuan's new face without any sense of scorn, because his muscular physique was genuine.

"How about trying out the equipment here?"

Li Weigang said to Meng Chuan with a hint of pride.

In the entire Qindu District, he is the only gym that provides facilities for martial arts practitioners!
"it is good."

Meng Chuan casually picked up a giant dumbbell the size of a millstone from a custom-made pressure-resistant rack.

I did a few bicep curls with one hand on the ground, and they did feel quite heavy.

But for him now, with four hard skills and the [Heavy Strike] technique, it's still too light. It would have to be several times heavier to put any pressure on him.

"Not bad, looking at your arms, you must be practicing some kind of Western Region hard qigong, right? I practice it too."

Li Weigang could tell at a glance that Meng Chuan's arms were extraordinary.

As the muscles stretch and tighten with exertion, the veins bulge around the reddish-yellow muscle lines, exuding a powerful aura.

With the completion of the Iron Arm of Doma, Meng Chuan's arm has returned to a near-normal skin color.

Only the two thighs were lagging behind, looking as if they had fallen into a vat of ink.

Li Weigang then reached out and flicked the muscles on Meng Chuan's arm.

With the striking motion, the clanging sound of metal colliding with stone rang out.

He exclaimed in surprise:
"Is it complete?"

Li Weigang was surprised to see that Meng Chuan, despite his young age, was actually quite capable.

"Ah."

Meng Chuan nodded, and after the other party casually flicked the air twice, a sharp pain shot through him.

As expected of a martial artist, I wonder if I can withstand the sparring later; I'll probably enjoy it even more.
"Who did you buy the Tantric plaster you're using from?"

"The shop at the very back of Waimin Street that sells 'miracle oil'."

"The guy with the mustache? He's a shady dealer who sells everything. I have connections here, and it's much cheaper than what he sells."

I'll buy your medicine from now on, at cost price. You've already paid for the injections, I won't make money off your medicine.

Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected to gain anything from queuing here.

"Thank you, Master Li."

"Just call me Brother Gang."

The two walked through the equipment area and into the private punching room.

The equipment is a variety of special support devices of different heights, and it certainly looks very professional.

When Meng Chuan was at Ping'an Middle School, he could stand still and be a fighter.

When the ball is hit on the calf or other areas, Teacher Chen Tie has to lie on the ground to hit it, which is really inconvenient.

"Tell me about your situation first. What kind of martial art do you practice?"

"The Iron Arm and Iron Leg techniques of the Western Regions, the Wudang Health Preservation Armor, and the Shaolin Iron Shirt."

Gang Ge's lips twitched after hearing this. He had also practiced Iron Shirt Technique and had long since reached perfection.

He is currently working on mastering the true level Shaolin hard skill, the "Weituo Mountain-Carrying Skill".

"You practiced four techniques in one go?"

The idea of ​​going from Wudang to Shaolin is already outrageous, but combining Chinese and Western elements is even more absurd.

Meng Chuan nodded and revealed part of his situation.

If they want to retaliate in the future, the other side will find out sooner or later.

After listening, Li Weigang walked forward with a solemn expression and tapped Meng Chuan from head to toe.

After standing up for a moment, he nodded slightly and said:
"Does he have a true master to pass on his teachings?"

Meng Chuan understood what Li Weigang meant: a naturally innate hard body that everyone would envy.

"I've got it, sorry Gang-ge."

"Alright, but I can still give you a discount. It's normally six thousand yuan for an hour of playing four doors, but you can just give me four thousand, okay?"

Considering Meng Chuan's talent for hard skills, he was delighted to see such talent, and he wasn't short of two thousand yuan.

Meng Chuan nodded happily, saying that having talent is a good thing, and one will be popular wherever they go.

As a rare professional hard-skill martial artist, Li Weigang's training course of 3,000 yuan for half an hour is really not expensive, and the discount is a pleasant surprise.

"Thank you, Brother Gang. I'd like to buy 30 hours of lessons first."

"Okay, just go to the front desk to register and pay in a bit. Afterwards, download an app on your phone called Gangzi Club app."

After registering online, you can pay your fees and schedule your classes independently.

"Understood." Li Weigang looked him over again, then put on a pair of brown professional suede gloves.

"My hands are so rough from being honed that a single slap could scrape off a layer of your flesh, so I have to wear gloves."

Come on, there are martial artists in Yong'an who are better than me, specializing in body refinement. But you can count them on one hand.

"Try it out first, and you can pay later if you think it's worth the price."

"Okay, come on, Brother Gang."

Meng Chuan took off his vest and sat on a specially made stool.

Li Weigang stretched out his gloved hand and looked around, searching for Meng Chuan's acupoints for external martial arts. After a moment, he had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

"I am a martial artist, and even if I try to restrain myself, my strength is still quite strong. If you can't take the strain, just let me know."

"Okay, Brother Gang."

"Did you bring the external martial arts plaster? I'll apply it to your back after the treatment."

"I brought it, bone-strengthening and blood-building ointment."

Li Weigang nodded and said:
"Yes, with your skill in hard martial arts, you can certainly use this, but you must not use the muscle strengthening and body-strengthening ointment."

These two medicines are too potent; your acupoints can't handle them. They can only be used after breaking through the first major limit and undergoing a body restructuring.

Meng Chuan nodded; Master Luo had also reminded him of this principle.

When a martial artist pushes their qi and blood to their limit and advances to the level of a martial arts master, they will undergo their first physical reshaping.

The main focus at that time will be the modification of acupoints throughout the body.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get started."

He gently twisted Meng Chuan's waist to an angle.

"Sit still, just like you said, two doors at a time."

When the first palm strike landed, Meng Chuan couldn't help but shudder. Gang Ge's strength was indeed formidable!
"How about it? I practiced the Weituo Mountain-Carrying Technique, and my shoulders and hands are incredibly strong, hahaha."

"I can handle it, Gang, you keep going!"

"it is good!"

The familiar slapping sound came again, much louder than it had been at Ping An Middle School.

Li Weigang's strength and precise grasp of acupoints far surpassed Chen Tie's.

As the beating continued, Meng Chuan gradually felt a strong soreness all over his body.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time since his mastery of the four hard skills had greatly improved.

The armored body technique is a full-body skill. Li Weigang struck Meng Chuan's leg and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Good lad, your hard skills are very solid. I think your iron legs are almost perfected."

He only gets a few people a day to arranging matches; he mainly makes money by taking a cut from his club's revenue.

Ordinary advanced martial artists, without a solid foundation in hard skills, would really not dare to challenge him to a fight.

[Tama Iron Leg: Great Success (26%) → (27%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

Indeed, he was not far from perfection. Meng Chuan gritted his teeth and persevered, while also remembering his other purpose for coming here.

"Brother Gang, I'd like to ask you, is there a relationship between hard kung fu and the six internal organs?"

He knew that the striking techniques of hard kung fu mainly train the body's acupoints, and he wondered if they had any effect on the internal organs.

Li Weigang remained silent and focused on the injections. Once his calves were finished, the first half-hour treatment session was over.

He then stood up straight and said:

"There is a connection, but not much. Just like the Wudang armor you practice, it requires both internal and external training. When training internally, you need to rely on breathing in and out purple qi to nourish it."

Even other hard skills that don't involve internal training have corresponding breathing methods, because when they are stimulated, the organs in the body also function along with the breathing.

The six viscera primarily function directly during the recovery process, digesting nutrients and feeding them back to the body.

Meng Chuan nodded thoughtfully.

To put it bluntly, we should wait until our physical skills break through the limits before experiencing it.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Li Weigang continued:

"Let me elaborate a bit more and tell you about the relationship between acupoints and striking."

"Thank you, Brother Gang."

Meng Chuan nodded happily.

"The seven external orifices of the human body—ears, nose, mouth, and eyes—are connected to the five internal organs and six bowels. So, do you think these seven orifices can be used for internal medicine?"

Meng Chuan shook his head subconsciously.

"Yes, the place we use for slapping is called acupoints and apertures. Acupoints are in front of apertures. The slapping mainly targets acupoints, not apertures."

The human body has 720 major acupoints and 36,000 minor acupoints. Each acupoint holds hidden, unknown power within the human body.

The top-tier hard skills you practice are actually what's called a beggar's version of true martial arts level external training.

This is specifically designed to help martial arts practitioners with advanced hard skills to "prematurely steal" the mysterious power within their acupoints through external stimulation before the acupoints have undergone their first major transformation.

Meng Chuan nodded in understanding.

It seems he really came to the right place today. These hard skills and martial arts principles are not something he could learn by spending a few hundred dollars on online courses.

"The situation is clear. If hard skills break through the limits in the future, and if there are corresponding locations on the human body to take over, then it must be the acupoints throughout the body rather than the six internal organs."

The second round of sparring began, and Meng Chuan, after being stimulated by the Rainbow Body, was full of energy, which amazed Li Weigang.

"I've never seen this trait before, it's impressive."

In other words, Meng Chuan possesses four powerful martial arts skills and can also recover health and mana to withstand the attacks.

Meng Chuan thought to himself:

"However, Brother Gang did not go all out, otherwise he would have used his first limit to train the hand strength of a martial artist."

"Even Iron Man would have to have his paint chipped off, and Ultraman would have to flash a red light."
