With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 16 True Skill
Meng Chuan twitched his cracked lips and turned to look at Luo Guanyun:
"Why wasn't it discovered sooner?"

Luo Guanyun paused for a moment before replying:
"Just like the level four demon nest outside the city, if the master of the demon nest inside could run into Yong'an City, he could probably wipe out one ten-thousandth of the city's population with a single breath."

"But it is precisely because there are tall people inside holding the fort that most of us are able to catch our breath."

"Tongjia Lane is a low-probability event. Focus on practicing martial arts. Only when you become a martial artist can you protect yourself and those around you."

“Your uncle has high hopes for you, and he doesn’t want you to fall into depravity.”

After hearing what Luo Guanyun said, Meng Chuan felt better. It wasn't that the powerful figures didn't care about their subordinates, but that they had more important missions.

"Master, if we break through to the eighth limit, can we completely expel the Heavenly Demon?"

After becoming a martial artist, one combines the eight genetic locks of the human body, which contain eight major limitations. Each time a limitation is unlocked, one's strength will increase exponentially.

The strongest being in the world today has broken through the seventh limit, possessing incredible power to create the world, and is known as the "Great Sage"!
Luo Guanyun thought for a moment and then answered him:
"To be honest, I don't know either. Humanity's current capabilities are not yet sufficient to achieve this. However, the mysteries of the human body are endless, human power is limitless, and humanity can conquer nature! I believe that one day, someone will stand up and lead us to completely eliminate the Heavenly Demon."

A light shone in Meng Chuan's eyes. With the [Martial Arts Limit Break Panel], he hoped that as long as he worked hard enough, he could become the one at the forefront, holding a torch to light the way forward.

With a new goal in mind, Meng Chuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have already broken through his limits, so he focused his mind.

The panel, like the rising tide of a river, slowly emerges before your eyes.

The Limit Breaker Trait has been obtained: One Certificate, Permanent Certificate (Super)

"Once you gain something, you will never lose it; with practice, you will surely achieve something."

Effect 1: Timeless, significantly slows down the aging process and greatly improves the recovery speed.

Second effect: The skills and martial arts techniques mastered will never be forgotten or deteriorate.

Thirdly, by making steady progress every day, one will inevitably make advancements through practice.

Fourth effect: At the beginning of Xingyi, one's comprehension is improved to a certain extent when learning Xingyi martial arts.

[Martial Arts Limit Break Panel]

Martial Arts

[National Compulsory Basic Boxing: Breaking Limits (One Certificate, Permanent Certification) (Super)]

[Standing Posture Exercise]

[Taiyi Three Talents Stance: Human Stance (2%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Morning and Evening Enlightenment (Beginner)]

Looking at his long-cherished super trait—a certificate that would last forever—Meng Chuan's emotions were beyond words. After twelve years of hardship, he was finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The moment he saw the certificate on the panel, he realized that he had undergone a tremendous change. A mysterious power surged from within him, pouring into him from the top of his head and circulating throughout his body via his blood.

Ultimately, all the energy flowed into the sea and into his heart, making him feel invigorated.

The four functions of the trait, each of them begins to act on his body.

At this moment, memories of Guoyiquan (National Righteous Boxing) flooded his mind, as if it were yesterday. Twelve years of insights had finally transformed into a crimson shooting star, forever imprinted within him. Meng Chuan clearly understood that this was a testament that would last forever; once obtained, it would never be lost.

At the same time, he thought of the Cannon Fist, which he had not yet mastered, and had many insights in his heart. He couldn't wait to get up and practice it.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Luo Guanyun reminded him:

"You strained your right hand by using too much force, and the demonic possession you suffered also damaged your energy and spirit. You need to rest and recuperate first. Once you've recovered, you can practice your boxing again. Young people recover quickly, so you won't have any lasting health problems."

"Let me treat your muscle strain first. Extend your arm."

After saying that, Luo Guanyun put out his cigarette, grabbed Meng Chuan's raised right arm with one hand, and a tingling electric current traveled from Meng Chuan's palm to his upper arm, making Meng Chuan feel very comfortable.

"Okay, just wait a couple of days until the muscles recover."

Meng Chuan looked at his arm and could feel that the pain was gone. He had never imagined that martial arts could have such a peculiar function, and that it could even cure diseases.

He recalled how Master Luo had saved him earlier, raising his hand and unleashing a thunderous attack that seemed like a god descending to earth, which filled him with great admiration for his thunder magic.

"If you think of something, just do it," Meng Chuan said.

"Master, I want to learn thunder magic from you."

Upon hearing Meng Chuan speak, Luo Guanyun chuckled and teased:
"Little kid, didn't you only practice Guoyi Fist? Why are you also learning Thunder Magic?"

Meng Chuan told him that he had broken through to the level of a master.

Luo Guanyun was shocked. He didn't quite believe Meng Chuan's words. Guoyiquan was a style of boxing that had been improved by countless people over the generations. It was the most suitable style of boxing for the people of Great Chu to lay a foundation. Billions of people across the country had practiced it. How could it be improved by a little kid?

Seeing the owner's disbelief, Meng Chuan insisted:
"I can prove it to the curator once I have fully recovered."

Luo Guanyun suddenly seemed to remember something and continued to ask:
"You broke through when you were facing the Heavenly Demon?"

Meng Chuan replied that it was true; he wanted to learn Luo Guanyun's thunder magic, with its earth-shattering power and methods to subdue the Heavenly Demons. There was no reason not to learn it.

"Come see me when you've fully recovered, but until then, I suggest you keep quiet. Your family isn't well-off, and there are some things you can't keep secret. You understand what I mean?"

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood Luo Guanyun's meaning. The world was generally bright, but there were always places where the sun couldn't reach. He was still too weak. Meng Chuan felt a sense of urgency. He urgently needed to increase his strength to protect himself and his family.

"Thunder magic, do you know the true techniques?"

Meng Chuan shook his head, and Luo Guanyun continued:
"True skills are martial arts that only martial artists can cultivate. To learn true skills, you first need to unlock the corresponding martial arts that come before you. Secondly, you need to have the support of nine or more Qi and Blood barriers to have a chance to enter the field. Once you enter the field and refine your essence into Qi, it means that you have broken through the Qi and Blood barriers and become a [Martial Artist].

Therefore, true skill is extremely difficult to master, but once mastered, it often possesses incredible power.

When Xingyi Quan is cultivated to its highest level, it can change the world in the blink of an eye; some practitioners of Xiangxing Quan can transform into a fierce tiger in the forest, or even a hundred-foot-long dragon.

"What I cultivate is the best of the best among true skills. My family records the [Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique], a true skill passed down from heaven. From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to cultivate it to perfection, let alone break through the master's improvement."

“Other true skills may only require three or four prerequisite skills to be perfected as a condition for cultivation, but my Luo family's true skills have requirements for fist techniques, body techniques, and physical body. The prerequisite skills are more than twice that of other true skills.”

"To be honest, you lack talent. Just learning the basic martial arts will make you suffer for a lifetime. Letting you practice them would only harm you."
