With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 55 Nighttime Enlightenment
Meng Chuan walked to the lottery machine.

"It doesn't matter who comes, my goal is to be number one, and I'm going to play all of them eventually."

Underage Group: [No. 1 Infinite Martial Arts School - Meng Chuan - No. 4 Green Snake Martial Arts School - Li Xiaoyue].

Upon hearing this, the underage contestants around Meng Chuan all looked at him with sympathy.

Meng Chuan thought to himself.

"This girl seems very strong, but I'm not bad either."

With the final matchup determined, the entire draw process came to an end.

Some people couldn't help but show their delight when they drew weaker opponents.

Some people looked bitter, having encountered the favorites to win the championship, and were likely to be eliminated in the first round.

Upon seeing Meng Chuan's draw results, Chen Xuewu recalled the intelligence report's description of Meng Chuan's personal strength:
[Sixteen years old, broke through three Qi and Blood barriers in about six months, and at most entered the fourth level of strength, suspected of having acquired enlightenment traits.]

In short: they may have special qualities, but they are still young and their strength is not enough to be a threat.

My opponent's first-round opponent is Li Xiaoyue. Remembering my master's advice, it seems I won't have a chance to meet her.

He looked at Meng Chuan with a sorrowful expression.

"Then there's no need to greet them. You might as well use that time to practice your boxing."

After Chen Xuewu left, Liu Ru stood next to Meng Chuan, looking at his retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Meng, do you know him?"

Meng Chuan was also a little puzzled; what kind of eyesight did this person have...?

night.

Meng Chuan wanted to go to bed early so he could be in the best possible condition for tomorrow's match.

But when he lay in bed and closed his eyes, all he could think about were the three thousand seats in the stadium.

Despite his calm and composed nature, he was still so nervous about facing thousands of spectators the next day that he couldn't sleep.

"The best way to relieve tension is to take action. Don't sleep, let's box!"

It was late at night, and everyone in the family was asleep.

Meng Chuan changed his clothes and quietly opened the door, but unexpectedly, he still disturbed his uncle.

"Chuan'er, don't you have a competition tomorrow? What are you doing out here now?"

"Can't sleep, go up to the roof and practice some boxing."

Meng Yongzhi immediately understood that the child was a little nervous.

"You're nervous, aren't you? There are several thousand people there."

To be there in person and cheer for Meng Chuan, the whole family is scrambling for tickets today.

Apart from the participants from the martial arts school who can watch the competition from the waiting area, everyone else, whether relatives or friends, must buy tickets to enter without question.

Meng Chuan nodded in response:

"It's alright, Uncle. You go to sleep first. I'll practice my boxing for a bit and then go to sleep."

This was the first time Meng Chuan had practiced boxing on the rooftop at night. Looking up at the starry sky above, he felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility.

There has been a saying since ancient times: "In literature, Tai Chi brings peace to the world; in martial arts, Bajiquan stabilizes the universe."

The Luo-style Bajiquan emphasizes the flexible application of eight parts: head, shoulders, elbows, tailbone, hips, hands, knees, and feet. Not only should short-range fighting be fast, but long-range fighting should also be flexible and varied in terms of feints and real attacks.

His figure appeared even more imposing against the backdrop of the night. Meng Chuan recalled his master's teachings, and without realizing it, he felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind.

Punching in all directions, fighting fiercely from all sides!
If we don’t fight now, when will we fight?
Meng Chuan began to practice his boxing, his bones cracking and popping throughout his body. He stomped his front foot and struck with his elbow, followed by a heavy horizontal punch from his waist. Each move was executed with great exhilaration.

His proficiency kept increasing. After completing a set of boxing techniques, he had completely integrated the Luo Family Bajiquan into his body, and every move was engraved in his mind and would never be forgotten.

[Luo's Eight Extremes: Beginner (96%) → Proficient (2%) - Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Hun Tian (Intermediate)]

In a state of profound enlightenment, Meng Chuan's proficiency in the Luo Family Eight Extremes technique surged dramatically, successfully breaking through from the beginner level to the proficient level. Feeling the surging blood and qi within the mysterious acupoints of his body, Meng Chuan skillfully took out the medicinal paste from his pocket, ate several sticks, and only stopped when he felt his body gradually calm down.

After mastering the Luo-style Bajiquan, Meng Chuan practiced boxing again, and sure enough, there was no longer any sense of stagnation in the connection between the moves; each move was extremely smooth and natural.

Meng Chuan was quite satisfied with this.

"Although I haven't reached the level of 'fist moving with the mind,' that's a level that can only be achieved after mastering the art. Let's continue fighting for a while longer."

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Meng Chuan is getting better and better at practicing boxing. This wonderful sense of enlightenment makes his mind more and more acute, and he gains more insights than usual with each practice session.

It was already past midnight. As the sense of enlightenment faded, Meng Chuan finished his practice and focused his attention on the Martial Arts Limit Break panel.

[Luo's Eight Extremes: Proficient (14%) - Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Step by Step: Perfect (20%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

The Inch Step technique has taken a significant step closer to breaking through its limits. Meng Chuan has some new ideas for breaking through the Inch Step technique, one is to further enhance its explosive power, and the other is to increase its endurance.

Once the limits are broken, the explosive power and endurance will be further enhanced, and Meng Chuan believes that it will not be weaker than ordinary second-rate movement techniques.

At this point, Meng Chuan was no longer nervous or anxious about tomorrow's match.

"So what if there are a lot of spectators? I'll just keep throwing my punches!"

With another match tomorrow, Meng Chuan, still feeling unsatisfied, went downstairs to his room to sleep.

Day two.

At 7:30 a.m., inside the Beilin District Stadium.

The reason the first group of matches had to be drawn a day in advance was because of the tight schedule.

The competition time for the junior and youth groups should be compressed into one day to allow enough time for the club master level competition tomorrow.

The competition is for the minors in the morning and for the youth group in the afternoon.

Today, Luo Guanyun wore a handsome black suit and watched the Meng Chuan competition with his teacher's wife, Ren Ping.

The martial arts school members followed Meng Chuan into the contestants' waiting area. Since Meng Chuan's match was in the morning and Liu Ru's match was in the afternoon, everyone cheered for Meng Chuan.

"Go, senior brother! Sweep away everything!"

Meng Chuan smiled and clasped his hands in response to each of them, his mindset at that moment was very relaxed and natural.

The audience seats gradually filled up, and Meng Yongzhi and Xue Na brought Meng Yiyi along, as did Meng Yiyi's boyfriend.

They were all looking towards the field, searching for Meng Chuan.

Xue Na wanted to greet Meng Chuan.

"Yiyi, where is your brother? Where did he go?"

"He's in the waiting area, I'll give him a call."

The call is connected.

Xue Na excitedly snatched the phone:

[Chuan'er, keep it up! Your aunt is so proud of you!]

[Go, little brother!]

Meng Yongzhi took the phone and said:
Remember, safety first, competition second. Protect yourself; we have a long road ahead of us! If you encounter someone you can't beat, just admit defeat; it's okay.

Meng Chuan said with a smile:

Okay, I got it. Just watch my performance!

Meng Yongzhi and Xue Na gave Meng Chuan a long series of instructions before he reluctantly hung up the phone, saying that he needed to change into his Wuxian Martial Arts Academy training clothes to wait for the performance.

Looking at the three thousand spectators in the stadium, Meng Yongzhi was worried for his nephew.

【Okay, I'm hanging up now. Don't be nervous, just play your best!】
