With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 150 Mastering the Fist Technique, Invited to Capture the Demon (3k)

"The two are clearly subordinate to each other. If I want to create a flow of energy when I throw a punch, I must first try to control the wind."

With Meng Chuan unleashing his full power, his fist was like a knife cutting through the air. The moment his right elbow grazed the tree trunk, the three-inch-thick moss beneath it instantly exploded into a green mist.

At the same time, the broken leaves condensed into a brief tornado shape within the air currents.

The reverse airflow generated when he finished his punch with his left arm shook and rattled the scattered rocks on the ground.

Feeling the power contained within, Meng Chuan finally understood.

"Even the strongest punch is just like a knife cutting, but if you use your Qi well, it is itself an invisible steel blade!"

He once again threw a punch at the scattered rocks on the ground from a distance.

The fiery energy mixed in with the gale split and exploded the moment it touched the ground!

Like a crimson fire python, it ravaged all directions, blasting the rocks into pieces!

Meng Chuan unleashed a barrage of punches, bombarding the rocky beach.

A moment later, he switched to the Five Elements Fist style, and the metal energy of his lungs touched the stone, as smoothly and evenly as a sharp knife cutting tofu.
The liver's wood energy, wrapped around the bluestone, was ground into dust!
Meng Chuan did not have a very good grasp of the remaining water and soil conditions.

He tried many more times until his strength gave out, at which point he stopped to regulate his breathing.

He beamed.

"It's done! This is the true power of boxing!"

Meng Chuan's original fist technique was merely to create a strong wind to overwhelm people.

When facing a true master, someone like Lin Yue is just a showpiece; you still have to rely on close-quarters combat with every punch landing.

Now, by harnessing the power of the five elements, he can truly injure people from a distance with force that penetrates three feet!
Once a swordsman has practiced to a certain level, he can comprehend sword energy.

Those who are proficient in martial arts comprehend the essence of the art!
Meng Chuan benefited from the advantage of the Five Elements Qiankun Fist, which contains all five elements.

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—allow you to switch between different fist techniques by circulating your Qi.

Moreover, he secretly pondered and realized that he had already figured out the path to breaking through the limits of the Five Elements Universe Fist.

That is the unity of the five elements!

Meng Chuanchang imagined that if he could unleash the Five Elements Fist with a single punch, combined with his many practical combat skills, he could achieve great things.

"Once I reach the ninth level of the martial arts realm, will I be able to defeat a martial artist who manipulates true qi?"

Master Luo once said that the essence of true qi is actually an ethereal concept.

Without becoming a martial artist, one will never understand what it truly is.

However, the power of true qi is dozens of times greater than that of ordinary qi.

Despite possessing multiple special abilities, Meng Chuan, after some thought, also felt there was no hope.

The reason why the path of a martial artist's advancement is called "breaking limits" is precisely because their physical structure has completely exceeded the limits of humanity.

If it weren't for the lack of reproductive isolation between them and ordinary people, calling them a "new species" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

I reflected on it again, and the progress I made tonight was truly remarkable.

Afterwards, Meng Chuanxin left satisfied, preparing to go home and practice his stance training.

After he left, a figure slowly emerged from the distance, his face filled with astonishment.

The person in question was none other than Liu Sanduo, Chen Xuewu's master and the second-greatest martial arts master.

He was asked by Luo Guanyun to be responsible for protecting Meng Chuan's safety in the community, which is why he was secretly observing him just now.

"The power of fire, the power of wood, and there's another one I haven't seen clearly, which should be the invisible power of metal."

"Only seven levels? How did you comprehend the true essence of boxing? And not just one style at that."

He was completely baffled and couldn't understand why Meng Chuan was so abnormal.

Recalling that he had grasped the killing intent early on, Liu Sanduo felt a little better.

The killing intent is even more rare. He was a genius to begin with, so it's not surprising that he has also comprehended some new things.

He glanced at Meng Chuan one last time, and after confirming that Meng Chuan had returned home safely, he turned and left.

He murmured in his heart:

"Don't compare yourself to others. When learning martial arts, your master hopes you can stay steady and unleash your full power later on."

The next day.

Meng Chuan had just finished practicing his boxing when he received a call from Sergeant Long Jiu.

[Meng Chuan, do you have time to come to the police station this afternoon?]

[You have time, what's up, Chief Inspector Long?]

Chief Inspector Long paused for a moment, then continued:

[This is confidential; we should discuss it in person.]

Meng Chuan probably understood.

I'm worried I'll cause trouble.

With his master absent, Meng Chuan remained relatively steady.

[For merit, there are bonus points in the martial arts exam?]

Don't say anything more, I'll be there after lunch, wait for me!

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

"I do lack money and resources, but I also need to act within my means. I'll assess the difficulty this afternoon first."

Having not engaged in a life-or-death struggle for a long time, Meng Chuan was unsure of his current strength and where he stood.

If Lin Yue, who had just entered the Eight Gates, were alive today, he would probably kill him with a dozen punches if caught.

"I'm willing to try my luck with anything up to level eight, but if I'm confident I can handle level nine, I'll just give up on the mission."

After lunch, Meng Chuan stood by the sink washing his hands.

Looking up at the mirror above the pool, as Meng Chuan rubbed his hands, the two steel arms in the mirror seemed to come alive, their bulging muscles rising and falling slowly.

"The more I train, the bigger I get"—it's true that you can't control your physique.

In most cases, the size and density of muscles reflect the strength of an individual.

"You can't have it all. But there must be some quality that can solve this problem."

Meng Chuan lowered his head and continued washing his hands, while focusing his mind on the control panel.

[Health-Preserving Armor-Clad Exercise: Proficient (78%) - Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Flesh Flower (Intermediate)]

This is the hard skill that Meng Chuan practiced for the longest time and was the most troublesome, without exception.

They need to practice external combat skills, and at the same time, they need to absorb purple energy for internal nourishment every morning.

Meng Chuan always felt that the "Flower of Flesh" trait would bring him surprises.

"Within this month, I should have no problem mastering the Armor-Wearing Technique, and my physical strength can be further improved."

The Yangsheng Pijia Gong (养身披甲功) is the strongest hard skill passed down by Meng Chuan. Each improvement in its level leads to comprehensive progress in physical fitness.

Whether it's muscle strength or the protective capabilities of the inner and outer membranes, these are all things Meng Chuan needs.

He shook the water off his hands and headed to the police station.

Meanwhile, inside the police station.

Long Jiu is currently making meticulous plans for the final operation.

A few days ago, the Yong'an police finally confirmed the purpose of the Demon Summoning Hall's large-scale acquisition of items for nourishing the spirits.

They also discovered the black market trading locations that supplied the Demon Summoning Hall with a large quantity of nourishing items.

Next came the operation to close in.
"Wang Xuan, you will lead the raid on the port stronghold tomorrow. Success is the only option!"

"Yes!"

"Alright, you can go and prepare now."

[Kaibei Shou·Wang Xuan] is a mole within the police department. The port stronghold is obviously fake, just to lull him into a false sense of security.

At that time, the hidden martial arts masters in the team, who were second-tier martial arts masters borrowed from the Martial Arts Association, will take action to subdue him.

In addition, the police's actual operation to apprehend the suspects required multiple teams to work together.

The Yong'an branch bishop, Priest Fan, had a hiding place for his master, as well as three other branch strongholds.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take down these black market personnel who dare to provide the Demon Summoning Hall with nourishing items.

The laws of the Great Chu state that any act of colluding with the demonic path is considered treason and aiding the enemy!

The specific sentencing will depend on his capture and investigation before a final judgment can be issued.

But in any case, those involved in the black market cannot escape responsibility.

Those who are forced to obey may be given a lenient sentence, but those who voluntarily surrender to the enemy will surely die!

The Great Chu intends to use such strict laws to completely dispel the ulterior motives of certain individuals!
"A nourishing substance, the remnant spirit of a escaped dragon demon."

The Thousand-Headed Flood Dragon Demon was powerful; even with its incomplete true spirit, it was beyond the capabilities of a martial arts master like him.

However, Long Jiu had already come up with a solution: to find strong external support.
Inside the sheriff's office.

"Long time no see, Xiao Meng. You've gotten quite a bit more robust."

Long Jiu patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

As a martial arts master, he was naturally able to sense Meng Chuan's strong aura.

He was secretly surprised, thinking that Meng Chuan was still lingering in the early stages of the Seventh Pass.

Seeing this today, I didn't expect that we are already so close to the Eight Passes.

In fact, the martial arts aura emanating from him is much stronger than that of some of the Eight Gates!
"Now that you're at level eight or below, you should be invincible. It seems that entrusting this mission to you is a sure thing."

"Come, come, sit down, have some water, and we can talk slowly."

After Meng Chuan sat down, he listened to Long Jiu continue speaking:
"Little Meng, do you still remember the Demon Summoning Palace?"
This operation is related to them. We need to wipe out the Demon Summoning Hall and all its hideouts in Yong'an City in one fell swoop!
However, your task is relatively simple: to apprehend a group of black market operators hiding in a casino located in a demolished building in Baliu District.

The mission unfolded in a similar manner to the previous battle at the chemical plant.

Merit is recorded normally, and rewards can be redeemed in the armory after the mission is completed.

At the same time, this is a collaborative task that recruits martial artists from the community.

As a student, the police will also record two points in your personal information file, which can be used to add points to your martial arts exam.

Long Jiu wasn't giving Meng Chuan a back door; he needed to divide his forces into several groups while ensuring the operation would go perfectly.

The police department had been preparing for this for several days, inviting well-known and experienced martial artists from the community to collaborate.

But Long Jiu remembered his old friend Luo Guanyun's instructions and specially left this task to Meng Chuan.

After considering for a moment, Meng Chuan said:
"Uncle Long, is there any intelligence information regarding the risks involved in apprehending black market personnel?"

With his master not around and the police officers having to split into several groups, he could only rely on his own abilities.

Long Jiu said with great appreciation:
"You've become much more cautious these days, haven't you?"

Don't worry, although during the mission you will also need to capture or kill as many of the accompanying members of the Summoning Temple as possible.

However, its highest level, which is just the so-called third sublimation, does not reach the eighth level.

With your strength, I'm prepared to let you lead a team to wipe them all out!

Meng Chuan nodded. Based on Chief Inspector Long Jiu's description, the risk of this mission was indeed not high.

"However, you should still pay attention to your own safety and not act recklessly just because you have strong skills."

Some demonic martial artists can release demonic energy through certain spells, and can even gather demonic energy into a fireball to unleash it; you've seen that before.

Furthermore, according to our latest intelligence, they even possess an ability similar to the Heavenly Demon Field's coverage; Cyborg should use it when necessary, don't hold back.

Meng Chuan nodded. He himself was only at the seventh level and would not underestimate any enemy.
