With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 166 The Master's Preaching, The Golden Tiger (3k)

He was secretly pleased that his blood and energy were superior to Meng Chuan's.

Unexpectedly, they were proven wrong and overtaken in the blink of an eye.

Xu Qingfeng's voice was a bit loud, and Lu Zhuxiao, who was standing on the arena directing the fight, also heard it.

"Has Meng passed through the eight passes?"

Every year at the end of the semester, the title of "Martial Arts Master" for freshmen at the United University is basically a competition among martial artists from the nine levels.

Few are the most exceptional talents, capable of surpassing all others in martial arts prowess.

Meng Chuan may have started late, but he has great potential for future breakthroughs.

"Judging from the speed at which this kid is breaking through realms, coupled with his outstanding combat abilities, he has great potential."

Lu Zhuxiao had a sudden thought and gracefully descended from the arena.

"You two be careful, I'm going to make a phone call."

Meng Chuan wasn't idle either; he took the opportunity to go into the ring and play a round-robin match for a while.

Including Xu Qingfeng and Meng Jiaolong, he could knock all seven martial artists off the stage with a single blow.

Only three newcomers to the eighth level managed to withstand his attacks for several dozen moves before being easily defeated.

Meng Chuan shook his wrist; he felt he was still in good shape and could play another round without any problem.

The "Tama Iron Crotch" not only provided protection for his younger brother, but also greatly increased his stamina and energy.

The audience whispered among themselves from time to time:

"This is the eighth level? It feels even stronger than the ninth level to me?"

One of the female students said shyly:
"Not only is it strong, but its stamina is also excellent."

"."

Meng Jiaolong felt inexplicably jealous, but she shook her head to clear her mind.

He thought to himself:

"Focus on your martial arts training, and stop daydreaming all day."

After being sent flying off the stage by a palm strike, Xu Qingfeng was completely disheartened.

Meng Chuan had indeed reached the eighth level, and under the absolute suppression of power, his Yun Yi was like a joke.

A moment later, Lu Zhuxiao walked to Meng Chuan's side and said with a smile:

"Xiao Meng, I have good news for you. Principal Yang has some time right now and is going to give you some guidance in your cultivation."

Yang Huan is a martial arts master whose strength has long surpassed that of a martial artist, making him seem like a true immortal among martial artists.

Ever since watching the video of the other party slaying the dragon, Meng Chuan no longer dared to ask his advisor to try and establish connections.

He was afraid that one day he might run into bad luck and have the halberd fall on his head.
He was overjoyed to hear that the other party had time to give him some pointers.

"Master Lu, shall I go now?"

"Go."

Meng Chuan bowed and took his leave of everyone, departing from the martial arts arena and heading towards Hongwu Tower.

Principal Yang was dressed in a dark black dragon-patterned robe, which was the exclusive training uniform of the United University.

At this moment, he is practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation).

Even those who have reached the level of the Five Limits of Xingyi still need to stand in the Taiyi Three Talents Stance [Heavenly Stance Chapter].

"They're here, have they reached level eight?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

"That's good. It's rare that you have time today. What insights or thoughts did you have while practicing martial arts? Tell me about them."

After saying that, Principal Yang began to multitask.

While practicing standing meditation, he explained his understanding and insights from practicing boxing to Meng Chuan.

"Professor Li's improved boxing technique is undoubtedly powerful. Your master is right. It can indeed allow you to feel some of the elements of [Willpower], [Momentum], and [Intent] early on."

To improve the efficiency of absorbing qi, the most important thing is to concentrate your willpower and the precision with which it flows through the five internal organs.

When you lack the ability to see inwards, you should visualize a diagram of the human body's meridians in your mind, letting your mind wander freely.
Therefore, the Five Elements Universe Fist is considered the pinnacle of first-rate martial arts, and even at the United Nations University headquarters, few people practice it.

"Do martial artists rarely practice?"

Meng Chuan wasn't being argumentative; he was just curious.

"Yes, but not because of its difficulty. No matter how difficult it is, it is only a first-rate boxing technique and certainly cannot compare to true martial arts."

For Xingyi martial arts practitioners, the time and cost spent on it far exceeds that of cultivation, and they are already proficient in the attribute-based fist techniques.

For example, if one cultivates the true art of fire.

"If I want to expand my fist techniques in the future, it will definitely be faster to learn first-rate fire-attribute fist techniques, and the power will be greater when used."

After a pause, Yang Huan continued with a smile:

"However, this method contains all five elements, and for Xingyi martial artists, it can be said to be the only way to lay the foundation of martial arts. Apart from being difficult to learn, it has almost no drawbacks."

Luo Guanyun must have had a lot of confidence in you when he had you practice this style of boxing.

Judging from your current progress, you definitely made the right choice.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan was also moved.

Since practicing the Five Elements Universe Fist, except for the fire element, the essential principles of the other four elements have been rapidly acquired through practice.

He will possess a myriad of special qualities in the future, so it's impossible for him to only cultivate the fire element and later the lightning element.

The Five Elements Universe Fist allowed him to grasp this point early on, laying a solid foundation for breaking through limitations in his future cultivation.

Seeing that Meng Chuan seemed to understand, Yang Huan continued:
"In fact, when you cultivate to a high level and at the same time reach the level of understanding all martial arts principles, you can easily control any attribute."

Whether it's the Five Elements or other attributes, they are essentially natural forces.

If one can comprehend this point, it is the so-called "Tao follows nature" realm, which is also the ultimate pursuit of Xingyi martial arts practitioners.

My mentor, President Sui of the Southwest Associated University, was a master in this field.

Meng Chuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Principal Sui was also my idol when I was young."

Yang Huan immediately perked up:

"LOL, really?

When you come to study at the National Southwest Associated University in the future, I'll try to get you a chance to meet your idol.

Lu Zhuxiao said that Meng Chuan has the potential to compete for the [True Transmission of Martial Arts].

Seeing you today, I can definitely feel that you have much more potential than when we last met.

Not only has the Qi and blood been improved, but the principles of martial arts have also been improved.

Yang Huan felt that Meng Chuan was like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered, and every time they met, he was pleasantly surprised.

Meng Chuan then consulted Principal Yang about the realm of "Tao follows nature".

This kind of top-level martial arts knowledge cannot be explained by ordinary martial arts practitioners.

Meng Chuan seized the opportunity and took advantage of it, writing down as much as he heard.

He was so engrossed in his studies that time flew by.

Seeing Meng Chuan's furrowed brows, Yang Huan interrupted him:

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can't digest too much information right now."
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're considering how to use this martial arts principle to improve the Five Elements Universe Fist?

As expected of a Venerable One, he immediately understood Meng Chuan's thoughts.

He truly felt that the path to breaking limits in the Five Elements Universe Fist was related to the so-called "Tao follows nature".

Even if one does not reach that level of martial arts understanding, but merely approaches it, there will be many possibilities to break through limits.

Yang Huan joked:
"I have all your information here. The improved Guoyiquan is now in the pilot stage across the province, and the response has been very good."

In addition, our discussion today proves that you have a high talent for martial arts theory, perhaps even greater than your physical skills.

Perhaps one day you can actually improve upon Professor Li's foundation and create the Five Elements Universe Fist.

Meng Chuan nodded. This method involves a core characteristic that has never appeared before, and it will definitely be of paramount importance for breaking through limits in the future.

"To think even more boldly, if you could lower the difficulty of practicing the Five Elements Universe Fist, allowing the vast majority of Xingyi martial artists to use it as a foundation."

This will further solidify the foundation of the martial arts of our Great Chu.

This might upgrade your Silver Lion to the Gold Tiger Medal.

Meng Chuan was secretly surprised.

The Silver Medal has already brought him many benefits, and the Gold Medal will further enhance the welfare measures in all aspects on this basis.

Inside the Wuxie City, a 20% discount on all goods is just the beginning.

Its owners and their blood relatives will also be protected by the Great Chu military, and local garrisons can be mobilized in case of emergency.

In addition, it offers many benefits that the Silver Medal does not have, such as a special monthly resource quota.

These are all publicly announced by the Wushu Association in order to encourage martial artists to make contributions to the country.

When Meng Chuan received the Silver Medal and met with King Zhao last time, he only glanced at it and didn't look at it closely.

He felt that even the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, Uncle Bai, and his master from the Third Limit didn't have the Gold Medal, so they must be even further away from him.

Today, after hearing Principal Yang say that breaking limits is his strength and something he must do, I realized that pushing boundaries is something he has to do.

Meng Chuan realized that he seemed to have a great chance, so he asked more questions in detail.

Yang Huan explained further, then waved his hand and said:
"It's only a matter of chance. The Gold Medal is extremely difficult to obtain for those below the Martial Arts Grandmaster level."

Even a Grandmaster of the Fourth Limit must accumulate a large amount of merit by eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, and then exchange it for medals.

If you actually succeed in improving it but don't give it to me later, don't come looking for me.

Yang Huan thought to himself, "It's best not to speak too definitively."

"This kid is a bit strange. He even successfully improved the Guoyi Fist, which is practiced by hundreds of millions of people. Maybe he really has a chance to improve the Five Elements Universe Fist."

"Thank you, Principal Yang."

Meng Chuan felt that his chances were pretty good; once he broke through the limit, everything would be fine.

If it's not just about lowering the difficulty of cultivation, but also increasing the power, then obtaining the Golden Medal should be a sure thing.

After all, it concerns the core characteristic of [Five Qi Gathering at the Origin], and I will have to break through its limits sooner or later. Getting the Golden Medal along the way would be a double blessing.

Yang Huan waved his hand and said seriously:
"Let's not talk about martial arts anymore. Let me tell you about the affiliation quota one last time. Listen carefully."

Meng Chuan nodded earnestly.

"The New Year's Grand Competition will be held five days from now, which is next Monday."

At the same time, the number of participants in the National Martial Arts Supernova Competition will be selected from the pre-high school students.

Afterwards, before the oath-taking ceremony, you and the members of that family will settle the matter of the affiliation quota on the spot.

If you're not as skilled as others, don't expect my advisor to try and take shortcuts.

"Understood, Master."

"."

Meng Chuan was still confident about this, as he had now entered the eighth level of the realm.

He didn't believe that the three people who were affiliated with him were all from Jiuguan Laodeng.
"By the way, Master, Xu Qingfeng told me before that he already has a place to be affiliated, so why does he still need to compete?"

Yang Huan said helplessly:
"This kid is really confident, let me tell you."

This competition is only open to martial artists, with one hundred slots available for the top-tier martial arts academy.

Considering that there are many skilled martial artists in the preparatory high school, ten spots were allocated to the preparatory high school.

In addition, three spots were set aside, which will be used to determine the participants from the top seven finishers in this competition.

Meng Chuan finally understood; Xu Qingfeng had been putting on an act all along.

However, the opponent's Baguazhang breakthrough is just around the corner. When his Qi and Blood reach level eight, securing a spot in the competition will be a sure thing.
