With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 323 Fire Poison Martial Saint, Second Limit Break, Weakness Improvement!

Time slipped away quietly, and it was early July.

The nationwide unrest in the Demon Nest has intensified, coupled with the recent Lishan Demon Shadow incident.

The demonic forces within the city also show signs of resurgence.

During this period, Yong'an City has restarted its Level II emergency preparedness status in preparation for any eventuality.

After reading the latest news, Meng Chuan closed his phone, feeling somewhat conflicted.

He knew in his heart that the world in Yong'an was probably about to descend into chaos again.
Those who follow the demonic path establish a close connection with the Heavenly Demon through faith and demonic arts.

If one side gains the upper hand, the other side will naturally not stand idly by.

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up; once you come to your senses...

Meng Chuan got up and went to the alchemy room of the United University to clear out the inventory of the newly added [Qiao Jia Ling Dan].

He only eats the freshest ones, even though each one is worth 500 credits!

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. You don't need to save any new pills for me next month."

The manager of the alchemy room was an elderly man who had reached the first stage of his life.

Upon hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Meng, you are the only top student in our campus, you must have a place for us whenever you come!"

Meng Chuan shook his head, smiled wryly, and bowed as he left.

I'm broke now, and even the top-tier CEO has to pay for it; I can't just steal it.
[Dear "Infinite Fist", your University access card has received an account activity notification. Your current remaining credits are 3100.]

Meng Chuan closed his phone, looking at the small jar of pills in his hand, his feelings complicated.

The 24 Qi-Jia Spirit Pills cost nearly 10,000 credits, which is over 100 million.
"It's a great deal. 15% off, a steal!"

He was, after all, from a humble background and couldn't bear to spend so much money, so he could only console himself with this thought.

"I'm running low on credits again, I need to find more money."

Having grown accustomed to the rapid improvement brought about by the Qi-Jia Spirit Pill, Meng Chuan, though reluctant, truly didn't want to give up.

Making money can't be rushed. He rushed to the alchemy room for the freshly made pills, and now he's going back to continue practicing his boxing.

Huaqing Pond, inside the villa courtyard.

Meng Chuan unleashed the Three Gates Fire Element Fist Technique, his movements sometimes expansive and powerful, sometimes delicate and subtle like blazing starlight.

By regulating the Tanzhong acupoint, the body's Qi and blood are intertwined with the fire-elemental true Qi to form a deep red flame.

As he gradually entered a state of heightened concentration and became fully immersed in the world of martial arts, a series of notifications flashed across the control panel.

[Boiling Fist Small Frame] breaks the limit first, and the fist strikes burst out with waves of blazing air.

With the breakthrough of the [Twelve Styles of Burning Tail], the shadow of the fist transformed into a rain of fire.

Meng Chuan did not stop; he transformed his boxing style into palm techniques.

Time passed, and with a long roar to the sky, the Crimson Sand Palm was suddenly unleashed.

Wherever the palm strike passed, the air distorted as if boiling, and a scorching force swept across the sky.

Meng Chuan withdrew his fist and stood still, feeling a surge of joy and enlightenment.
"Fire is not violent, but rather a symbol of endless life. It is fierce on the surface, but enduring in its essence. Only by combining strength and gentleness can one grasp the true meaning of the element of fire!"

On the panel:
[Boiling Fist Small Frame: Perfect (100%) → Limit Broken]

[Has obtained the Limit Break Trait: Boiling Blood (Low Level)]

【The Twelve Styles of the Scorched Tail:】

[Limit Break Trait: Burn Mark (Low-Level)]

【Red Sand Palm:.】

[Limit Breaking Trait: Scorching Sand (Low-Level)]

He then examined the effects of the three-gate limit-breaking traits.

After a moment, they all understood the effects of each.

All three only had one effect, so Meng Chuan was not disappointed, but simply resigned.
First, examine the [Boiling Blood] technique; it is neither a Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique nor a Power Explosion Technique.
Instead, when he uses his fist to generate fire, the flames of his fist are "modified".

It can briefly penetrate the enemy's body surface, causing the blood in the punching area to boil slightly.

Its lethality is average, but it can disrupt the opponent's blood circulation, making it relatively effective against martial artists like Luo Qin from the Celestial Master's Mansion who rely more on internal energy cultivation.

The function of 【burn marks】is rather convoluted:

"When the Fist Shadow Fire Rain hits the target location, it will leave charred black marks on the skin. These marks can reflect the fluctuations of fire elemental energy for a short time (within 10 seconds). When using fire elemental fists to attack the same location again, the power will be increased by 5%."

"."

It cannot be repeatedly stacked, which is another "disappointing" effect; it's better than nothing.

Meng Chuan discovered that the probability of drawing an SSR from these modern boxing techniques was extremely low.

It's exactly the same as the ridiculous gacha games I played in my past life!
But he was not discouraged; even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

If you acquire dozens of similar traits, a single punch will multiply the damage many times over!
As for the final characteristic of the burning sand, Meng Chuan found it to be quite interesting and not simple at all.

【Trait: Scorching Sand (Low-grade)】

Effect 1: Fire Toxin. Through repeated sharpening, when circulating the Qi of the Heart Fire in the palms, the palm wind carries a certain amount of reddish, gritty fire toxin. Contact with the eyes will cause temporary stinging and tearing; for those with a sensitive sense of smell, it may trigger sneezing.

When Meng Chuan saw this effect, he had a sudden inspiration.

The lime was given to me by Officer Chen Lan when I was on duty at the police station earlier.
"【Red Sand Palm】 evolved from the Shaolin Iron Sand Palm, a horizontal training skill."

The process of frying iron sand to this point was optimized into a technique called "fire-based palm tempering," but I never imagined I'd end up developing fire poison in it.

Meng Chuan focused his mind slightly and sent a gust of wind through the wooden stake with a palm strike.

The scorch marks, like a wisp of pale red smoke, adhered to the surface and left faint scorch marks.

After finishing his work, he observed that blue smoke gradually rose from the area affected by the fire poison.

Accompanied by a hissing burning sound, the wooden stake was corroded into a honeycomb-like pit.

"The power isn't as bad as described; it's not just about making your eyes sting and your eyes water."

Without true qi or hard skills to protect the body, it might be refined along with the skin and flesh.” The effect on the panel should refer to the original power of this third-rate fist technique after it breaks through its limits.

However, when propelled by the strength of a martial artist, the result is naturally quite different.

If it were a martial artist, it would probably be equivalent to the effect of lime.

Meng Chuanming realized that the [Fire Poison] would become increasingly vicious as his strength increased.

He was quite satisfied with what he considered a progressive "attack effect."

Some powerful martial arts techniques, when cultivated to their highest level, are like the spells of immortals described in folk tales, allowing them to ride the clouds, mist, wind, and thunder.

These abilities are not inherent to the cultivation technique itself.

Rather, it is through its guidance in spiritual practice that the latent energy after the human body undergoes abnormalities is stimulated, thereby manifesting various effects and supernatural powers.

The same principle applies to his fire poison; the stronger the body, the more its power will continue to increase.

After glancing at the three again, the exciting part was about to begin.

Without thinking about anything else, Meng Chuan focused his mind on the control panel.

Drag the boiling blood and scorching sand to fill the Five Elements Wheel.

A few dozen breaths later, a clear sound rang in my mind:

[Five Aggregates Universe Method: First Breakthrough (80%) → Second Breakthrough (0%) Awaiting Third Breakthrough]

[Third-stage breakthrough core trait: Five Elements Convergence (Third-tier core)]

"It seems that there is no bottleneck to breaking through the limit. Once you have accumulated enough of the five elements required to break through the limit, it will be a natural process."

After the two special traits were filled, this core method successfully entered the [Second Limit Break] state.

He then checked the effects of the advanced Five Elements Gathering, and his joy was evident.

The first function is the Five Elements Spiritual Breath, which is the efficiency of the transformation of the Five Elements Qi.

The improvement progressed from a "small increase" to a "certain increase".

Meng Chuanshi breathed out a mouthful of fiery energy, and his fist was instantly covered in crimson flames.

I suddenly felt that the Qi was circulating around my heart faster and more efficiently.

The spiritual energy that originally took about a breath to transform can now be formed in an instant.

Meng Chuan conjectured that as the limits are broken through to higher levels in the future, the conversion efficiency will be further improved.

Only then can one complete the entire process of absorbing qi while adjusting one's mind and spirit.

Continue reading, the second function is the mutual generation of the five elements.

"Any Five Elements Fist or fundamental method will not conflict within your body (low-level → intermediate level, true skill and below)."

Meng Chuan had not yet begun practicing the true martial arts techniques and had not yet experienced the conflict between the techniques.

However, this can be considered as avoiding problems in advance, which is good.

At the same time, the slight improvement of the third and fourth functions has become a "some" improvement.

Both of these enhance his combat capabilities.

This makes the Five Elements Fist more powerful and the Five Elements True Qi recover faster.

The exact extent of the improvement needs to be tested in actual combat.

Most importantly, Meng Chuan looked towards the function of [Chaoyuan's Wisdom]:

"Enhance (a small amount → some) the comprehension of general boxing techniques, and enhance (some → more) the comprehension of the Five Elements boxing techniques."

This is his biggest gain after breaking through his limits for the second time, without exception.

The word "more" is the strongest "quantitative adjective" he has obtained so far.

Meng Chuan could sense how much his understanding of Qi Jiguang's Long Fist had changed after casually practicing a couple of moves.

At the same time, the efficiency of the liver's five-element characteristics will further improve in the future, which is a virtuous cycle.

He stopped and stood still, continuing to look down, planning to enter the world of imagery another day and let Commander Qi see how much he resembled his former self.

Comprehension becomes increasingly important as one's martial arts skills improve, a fact Meng Chuan deeply understood during his training.

As for the sixth function, 【The Beginning of the Court】:
"The characteristics of Xingyi and the Five Elements are attributed to the Five Qi Gathering, which can improve the proficiency of the Five Elements Qiankun Method."

Aside from this point remaining unchanged, this core trait can still be filled in through the [Five Elements Trait] to achieve three more limit-breaking attempts.

The other five effects, as described by the adjectives and based on Meng Chuan's own experience, all showed significant improvement.

As expected of a second-tier core that was fed ten low-level traits, it is indeed powerful.

In an instant, the sea of ​​consciousness and the spring of consciousness burst forth with vitality.

Internal energy, guided by willpower, transforms into the five elements of true energy, which then adheres to the body's surface along with the blood and qi.

In an instant, Meng Chuan's entire upper body, including the top of his head, mouth, and nose, was covered with a layer of colorful morning glow.

With the Qiankun Technique reaching its second breakthrough, his weak point, the head, can now be defended by true qi, so he no longer needs to practice the Iron Head Technique.
After all, if one wants to change the entire skull's defenses through sheer physical strength, then...

There are so many parts like an iron head, iron face, and iron nose; it would take forever to train them all.
With true qi and the [Ferocious] armor protecting me during combat, it's sufficient for now.

After reflecting on it again, Meng Chuan pondered:

"After the Five Elements Universe Technique is advanced, the amount of true energy increases significantly."

Before this, I couldn't have done something like this, covering half my body like this.

In this state, Meng Chuan could easily create a violent shockwave with a casual wave of his hand, stirring up the Starry Pool water ten meters away.

He looked down at his palm, freely switching between the five elements of true energy—

Golden light is sharp as a knife, crimson flames rise blazingly, blue waves flow gently, yellow earth is thick and solid, and green trees are full of vitality.

They are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, yet they coexist harmoniously.

"After breaking through the limit a second time, the power of the Five Elements True Qi also increased significantly."

But like the demon seed, it cannot leave the body even briefly. It remains to be seen whether it will be able to do so after breaking through its limits three times.
