With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 178 Thunder and Fire Spontaneously, Blood-Drinking Demon Sword (3k)

The fact that the master and apprentice get along so well is largely due to their shared values.

"Without further ado, the practice of Thunderclap Freehand is divided into three stages."

The three methods are: first, tempering the body with fire; second, shaping the body by drawing lightning; and third, combining lightning and fire.

You can skip the first stage, as your physical fitness already exceeds the standard. We will start from the second stage.

From the very first level of Xingyi Quan, the method of absorbing Qi (vital energy) becomes extremely important.

"Lightning Shaping" involves guiding the inner fire energy, using it to trigger the spontaneous generation of lightning. However, its path differs from the Five Elements Fist. First, "Watch closely."

Say it.

Luo Guanyun took a deep breath and then slowly pushed out a palm.

With a crisp, thunderous sound, the dry rock in front of them was split open, and wisps of blue smoke rose from the crack, faintly showing signs of charring.

"This is the method of drawing lightning to shape the body, directing the lightning and fire, and controlling it with the body. When striking with the palm and stretching the fist, it is as if the Thunder God has possessed you."

As Meng Chuan savored the memory, he raised his hand to try it out.

After Luo Guanyun gave him several instructions, Meng Chuan, having a foundation in the Five Elements and their ability to nourish the internal organs, soon grasped the key points.

He concentrated his mind and channeled a burst of inner fire energy, using this momentum to successfully execute the path described by Master Luo.

"Thunder Whip Hand!"

Meng Chuan shouted loudly.

Luo Guanyun told him to shout it out loud, as this would boost morale and increase the chances of success.
Meng Chuan wasn't shy at all; he just shouted it out.

--Snapped!

Another spot on the stone was charred black, and Meng Chuan successfully unleashed a Thunder Palm strike.

Luo Guanyun nodded, his face full of appreciation.

"Okay, next, continue to familiarize yourself with the running path. Once you've landed a hundred punches in a row, you'll have mastered it."

Once you've mastered that, you can move on to the third stage of practice. Tonight, practice to your heart's content and try to directly enter the first stage.

After saying that, Luo Guanyun called Ren Ping and told her that he was teaching Meng Chuan boxing outside and would be back later.

Meng Chuan said confidently:
"Master Luo, let's prepare for the third stage."

A series of crackling thunderclaps rang out, and Meng Chuan flipped his hands up and down, unleashing thunder with both long and short punches!
This is the terrifying aspect of a single certificate being eternally valid. Once the path of thunder and fire is mastered, it solidifies in the body, making each punch stronger than the last!

Meng Chuan wanted to show Master Luo his potential; he wanted to prove that he was capable of optimizing the Primordial Spirit Thunder Technique!

Luo Guanyun suppressed his inner shock and smiled:
"Good lad, you're impressive."

Then we begin the third stage, "Combined Thunder and Fire," which is actually my unique "Free Fighting" style. By incorporating the thunder and fire paths into it, you've grasped the basics.

Meng Chuan nodded. The third stage was not difficult for him either; once he mastered it, he would never lose it.

Luo Guanyun continued:
"That's why I created this thunderstorm environment. In this environment, it's easier for you to understand the relationship between nature and martial arts."

Okay, follow along with me and practice your punches. Similar to close-quarters combat, focus on my footwork.

In the artificial thunderstorm environment, two figures chased and intersected, with thunderous punches occasionally shattering the night sky.

More than half an hour later, Luo Guanyun stopped and stood still, looking at Meng Chuan who was immersed in the world of boxing.

He ignored everything else and focused on the fist techniques in his hands, combined with the three shallow and one deep breathing method, practicing until he felt as if sparks were burning in his throat.

The rainwater evaporates instantly into mist when it touches the surface of your fist, and when you drop your elbow, you shatter the falling rain curtain, leaving large dry gaps.

"It's done."

Luo Guanyun once again marveled at the strength of Meng Chuan's "special qualities." Ever since the incident in Tongjia Lane that night, Meng Chuan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

"We've really struck gold!"

His phone screen lit up; it was his wife urging him to go home and pay his grain tax.
After closing his phone, Luo Guanyun waved for Meng Chuanxian to stop.

"You've basically got the basics down. Practice a little longer to solidify your skills. Your master has to go back now."

"Ok."

Luo Guanyun turned halfway around, then suddenly remembered something.

His expression hesitated slightly as he said:
"Hey, Domo or something, could you send me a copy?"

This area is dangerous; let me check it for you.

"it is good."

His master was shy, so he didn't say much more.

As for the training sessions, his master's wife was there, so he didn't need to worry about it.
After Master Luo left, Meng Chuan stared at the panel in his mind.

Successfully mastered the basics of "Benlei Sanshou" (a martial arts technique).

He didn't stop; just as Luo Guanyun had thought, he had another epiphany!

Thanks to the profound effect of the [Hun Tian] special ability to open up the meridians, his comprehension of boxing techniques improved once again.

As the thunderclaps continued to ring out, his proficiency level increased rapidly.

[Benlei Sanshou: Beginner (1%) → Beginner (2%)]

Time passed, and the panel finally froze.

[Benlei Sanshou: Beginner (56%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit-Breaking Trait: Yuan Lei Jie Mai (Intermediate)]

Because Benlei Sanshou was a beginner, his proficiency increased significantly.

Meng Chuan felt the new blood and energy regenerating around his body, so he practiced the fist technique twice more to solidify his strength.

"Sudden enlightenment is so exhilarating! It has to be the [Hun Tian] technique. Now I'm one step closer to the ninth level."

He raised his dragon-bone wristwatch to check the time; it was already 11 p.m.

Remembering that Long Zuochan had not yet begun his meditation today, he turned and left without further delay. This small world, having lost its true power, had long since returned to a state of calm and stillness.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

As usual, after finishing his sparring, Meng Chuan went to the United Nations University Preparatory School to practice boxing.

Thanks to the smooth flow of Qi and blood, Meng Chuan Gan's boxing speed has increased significantly.

Not only is the Five Elements Universe Fist making great progress, but the Thunderclap Hand also successfully reached the proficiency level a few days ago.

Meng Chuan grew to love this new boxing style more and more as he practiced it.

It suits his taste perfectly; his fighting style is simple and straightforward. He seizes any opportunity to pounce and swiftly finish off his opponent with lightning speed.

At the same time, thanks to the improvement in his boxing skills, his blood and energy have successfully entered the 200 mark, and he is only 50 points away from the ninth mark, which is not far away.

"Perhaps we won't need to wait until we've mastered the Five Elements Universe Fist before we can enter the ninth level."

As Meng Chuan deepened his practice of this boxing style, he gained a profound understanding of why it was called the number one Xingyi boxing style.

Its effect on promoting blood circulation is already unparalleled, and its application in actual combat is even more dominant.

He thought to himself:
"If I break through the limits of this fist technique, not only will I obtain the first [core trait], but the gold medal will also be of great importance."

Meng Chuan was still worried about the safety of his family.

Fang Jianxing is an incredibly cunning old devil. With the protection of the Golden Medal's garrison, he can feel much more at ease.

But the best way to solve a problem is to deal with the person who raised it.

It wasn't just for the safety of his family, but also to avenge Sister Ru.

Venom, Fang Jianxing's subordinate, was the first formidable opponent he encountered.

It was also through this experience that Meng Chuan came to realize the fragility of life, thereby unleashing his potential and achieving enlightenment [Nirvana and Rainbow Transformation].

"If you don't come, I will go to the island nation to find you."

Sitting in the car, Meng Chuan closed his eyes and pondered the recent events, both big and small.

The Provincial Martial Arts Competition Center (Gymnasium) is nearing completion and is expected to be put into use early next month.

The first competition it hosted was the highly anticipated [National Martial Arts Supernova Competition - Shaanxi Division].

During this period, although there was some minor turmoil in Yong'an City due to the Blackwater Company incident, it did not significantly affect the normal lives of the citizens.

The martial arts association and the police are still cracking down on the remaining Blackwater forces. They have now located their hiding place, and Yong'an is about to begin the final cleanup.

Other cities are also carrying out corresponding special crackdowns, uncovering similar dens and catching several martial arts masters-level demonic bandits.

Meng Chuan had been hoping that Chief Inspector Long would assign him a mission.

Let him get a share of the profits, no, let him contribute to Yong'an.
Unfortunately, the rectification campaign went very smoothly, and he didn't need to intervene.

The border area between Qin and Jin.

On the national highway leading to Yong'an, a refrigerated truck loaded with frozen food was traveling at a steady speed.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a bald man with a fierce expression. His hands, resting on the steering wheel, were covered with thick, indelible calluses, clearly indicating that he was a skilled martial artist.

Looking down from its jawline, one can discover a unique mark hidden deep on its chest.

This person is none other than the demonic warrior from the [Summoning Demon Hall].

He turned to the passenger seat and said:
"Boss, can I do a mission in Yong'an while I'm at it?"

"Which one?"

"The one who killed the little genius."

"You've only undergone three ascensions, and your strength is barely maintaining the ninth level, yet you're already eyeing the fourth ascension?"

"Let's prepare first, haha. This kid's value has risen too fast, which also shows that he is a major threat to our sect. I must share the burden for the God."

"Okay, I'll let you know after I've finished my business before you start. Don't delay the important matters."

"Thanks, boss! Hahaha, with you taking action, nothing is ever going to fail!"

Ignoring the flattery, the boss simply tapped lightly on the windshield, mentally calculating his plan.
He had a gruesome scar on his face that ran from the top of his forehead down to the tip of his jaw.

Its face is so terrifying that adults and children alike would probably have nightmares upon seeing it.

This person is the number one on Yong'an City's bounty list and one of the founders of the giant demonic organization, the Summoning Demon Hall.

The fourth Grandmaster, [Blood-Drinking Demon Sword - Li Xiao].

"Seven years later, I'm back in Yong'an."

Early March.

In the classroom of the United University Preparatory High School, Meng Chuan listened to Lu Zhuxiao's class along with the other Supernova Competition participants.

"This course will end in the middle of this month, and next month you will step into the competition arena for real combat. I hope you all will have good results."

Alright, enough chit-chat. Today we'll focus on some unconventional weapons and how to deal with them.

Such weapons are most favored by those who practice demonic arts; for example, the fan in Xu Qingfeng's hand belongs to an unorthodox style.

I once fought against a martial artist from the Outer Heavens Demonic Path known as "Fan Shadow Demon Slayer." Xu Qingfeng was far too inexperienced compared to him.

Xu Qingfeng was dozing off while holding a fan when he suddenly heard Lu Zhuxiao call him. He immediately stood up straight with a firm look in his eyes.

Standing beside Meng Chuan, Meng Jiaolong whispered to Xu Qingfeng:
"Dude, you're Zhao Jian's brother?"

Meng Chuan chuckled to himself upon hearing this.

Zhao Jian was a traitor within the demonic path who had previously been identified as a high-ranking official. He had used a sniper rifle to ambush Fang Jianxing's subordinate.

He was eventually beaten half to death, and after the police finished their interrogation, they sent him back to the juvenile detention center for re-education, where he was reincarnated several months later.

Xu Qingfeng was about to retort when he saw Lu Zhuxiao cough twice, so he could only glare at Meng Jiaolong and listen attentively.
