With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 246 is coming! Rock Pivot, Break Limits!

The other party is the number one on the Earthly Fiend Ranking, and receives a monthly reward of 300 academic points.

Being second on the list and only earning half as much as the other person each month is really tough.

Seeing his good brother's pained expression, Xu Qingfeng assumed that Meng Chuan had been hit hard.

He comforted:

"Lao Meng, you don't need to look at this unofficial list. In my heart, you will always be number one."

Meng Chuanduan felt gratified; his "good son" had grown up again.

But then the other person changed their tone and said firmly:

"So when are you going to take me on some small missions again? I'm begging you to carry me!"

"Let's talk about it when I get back from Shanghai."

This kid revealed his true nature before he could say a few nice words.

But he does not currently lack academic credits.

It wasn't enough for him at first, but this wave of rewards from the Earthly Fiend Ranking, plus the make-up payments from the previous month, brought in a full 450 points, enough for him to use the credits to buy courses and practice.

Seeing that it was getting late and it was almost time for his daily practice session with Dong Yue, Meng Chuan got up and left.

On the way, Meng Chuan stared at the martial arts panel.

His first-rate body technique, which he rarely practiced specifically, is finally nearing perfection.

【Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada: Great Success (92%)】

"When I'm close to breaking through, I'll ask Teacher Zhao Chun for some enhancement."

Although Xu Qingfeng described the other party as somewhat wicked, his skill in movement techniques was exceptionally high, earning him widespread acclaim within the United Nations Forum.

With the support of the Earthly Fiends List, Meng Chuan is no longer short of money. It's just academic credits, he can afford it.

With less pressure, he felt exceptionally refreshed.

Looking up, the maple leaves are like fire, and the withered lotus leaves are covered with frost.

In late autumn, Huaqing Pond resembles a faded ancient painting, silently revealing the passage of time in its tranquility.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, Meng Chuan thought to himself:

"There's only one task left to complete this year, which is to upgrade the [Northern Champion] to the [National Champion]."

Aside from the huge rewards from the government and Hanhai Company, my martial arts career will be completely fulfilling at that time.”

Time flies like an arrow, and it's already the end of November.

Early winter brought a chill, sweeping across the entire Lishan Mountain.

night.

Meng Chuan had just returned from his boxing practice. He casually ripped off all his clothes, revealing a powerful physique that looked as if it had been forged from refined steel.

A slight chill in the wind was nothing to him, given his constitution.

With a jog and a jump, Meng Chuan was soaking in the hot spring again, splashing water everywhere.

He can no longer live without soaking in the water after training; the feeling of being surrounded by underground sulfur water can wash away the fatigue of the day.

Normally, Meng Chuan would take a 20-minute nap in the hot spring to rejuvenate, but today was different.

He has important things to do.

Meng Chuan dipped his arms into the bottom of the pool and slowly brought them together.

Gradually, the once calm water surface began to ripple in circles as the shoulders shook.

The waves spread outwards from the center point in front of Meng Chuan, growing larger and more rapid, threatening to become a raging torrent!

Sudden.

Meng Chuan's face was rosy at this moment, as if a red sun was rising on his cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, his back straightened up.

"coming soon!"

next moment.

Meng Chuan stretched his arms straight as pillars, his body suddenly arched backward like a taut bow, his blood and qi suddenly boiled, and the sulfur water surged and churned.

He let out a low shout, his waist and hips suddenly sank down, and he leaned forward, his leg muscles twisting together like steel bars, compressing the force layer by layer.

When the pool water boils with qi and blood, it forms a spiral vortex, and strange patterns appear on the surface of the water, as if the earth's veins and the human body's qi and blood resonate.

In an instant, a powerful shockwave exploded out.

The water sprayed skyward like pillars, as if it had completely pierced through this pool of stars!
As the technique ceased, the incense by the pool gradually went out, and [The Pivot of Rock] was complete!
Meng Chuan stared at this scene with an extremely strange expression!
He thought to himself:

"Is this my first overt trait?"

Without thinking too much, all I saw on the screen was the dazzling light emanating from the section for "Doma Iron Crotch Kung Fu," indicating that this technique had successfully broken through its limits.

【Tama Iron Crotch Kung Fu: Perfect (100%) → Limit Broken】

[Gained Limit Break Trait: Rock Hub (Beginner)]

As his blood and qi slowly receded, Meng Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If things continue like this, he'll have to have all his pants custom-made from now on.

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan examined its function.

Function 1: The Pillar of Brahma can withstand blunt force impacts below its own defense level, such as kicks, squeezes, and collisions, without being damaged.

Function 2: Cooperative defense with rock resonance. The range of rock resonance is increased by 50%, allowing for more accurate prediction of enemy movement trajectories through rock/ground vibrations.

Effect 3: When activated simultaneously with [Body of Rock], [Arm of Rock], and [Leg of Rock], it forms a four-phase ley line effect (to be activated).

He had actually guessed roughly what the effect of the [Rock Pivot] trait was.

The first enhancement boosted the second brother's defense, while the second, like iron arms and legs, continued to strengthen his perception of the earth's veins.

The last one surprised him; it still had an effect to be activated. "It seems that [Effect Three] is the set effect after collecting all four types of Duomo Hard Techniques."

There is one more [Tama Iron Body] left. This technique is a second-rate hard skill, and it is currently at the perfection stage, striving to break through the limit.

Meng Chuan did some mental calculations and figured he would break through the limit in two or three months.

"The effects of the four ley lines will then be known; hopefully, they will live up to expectations."

Finally, as this powerful and forceful hard skill broke through its limits, Meng Chuan felt an unprecedented sense of power filling his entire body.

He reached out and scratched it a couple of times, and it produced a clanging sound like metal clashing against stone!

At this moment, his confidence soared to the sky. Meng Chuan felt that he was the most powerful man in the entire Great Chu!
"That's all for now, next up, Shaolin Iron Crotch Kung Fu."

A "precious sword" is forged through tempering; having already tasted the sweetness of groin techniques, he naturally intends to go all the way down the dark path.
at the same time.

Starting from the winding Luxi River at the foot of Longhu Mountain, the Tianshi Mansion stands on the bank.

With its flying eaves and painted beams, and the wisps of incense smoke, the temple exudes the solemnity and tranquility of Taoism.

Inside the Xuantan Hall.

A graceful figure dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe with cloud patterns, holding a sword with dragon patterns, was practicing swordplay.

Upon closer inspection, her face, more exquisite than any woman's, was as cold and aloof as frost, making her seem like an immortal descended from an ancient painting.

He holds a sword in his right hand and makes a hand seal with his left. Wherever the sword points, everything freezes and withers.

As the ancestral home of Taoism, the Celestial Master's Mansion's ancestral sword technique and the martial arts of Qi and Blood ultimately lead to the same goal.

As the sword's edge glides, it subtly aligns with the principles of meridian circulation and blood flow. Its icy sword force tempers the acupoints, nourishing the martial artist's blood and qi.

Those who wield the magic sword must use the power of their fist techniques as a guide, transforming the sword into a bridge of qi and blood, making the magic sword a martial arts medium that connects the internal and external, both to slay external evils and to refine themselves.

It seemed to sense something, and stood silently waiting with its sword on its back.

A moment later, an enlightened old man dressed in purple robes slowly came up the steps outside the hall.

Despite the distance, the old man, as if possessing the supernatural ability to shrink distances, appeared beside him in the blink of an eye.

"Luo'er, are you confident of victory this time?"

"It's a sure thing."

"Oh?"

The old man was slightly surprised. His disciple was always proud, and "a sure thing" was actually a rather "modest" way of putting it.

"Luo'er, where is the variable?"

The magic sword behind him trembled, and a crisp sound caused the snow hanging from the pine tree to fall in a flurry.

"In the north."

Frost has fallen from the sky, and it is already mid-December.

For some reason, this winter in Yong'an is exceptionally cold. The entire city was covered in a layer of silver overnight.

It seems that the whole of Chu is the same; compared with previous years, the temperature in various places has dropped a lot.

Some say this is a saying: "If there is snow for three days in winter, people will have a bountiful harvest for ten years."

But in the eyes of martial artists, this means that the coming year will certainly not be good.

"The celestial phenomena have suddenly changed, and a great demon has descended upon the world. It is feared that a powerful celestial demon may use the extreme cold of the celestial phenomena to break through the shackles."

But all of this is just speculation. It's just that the official authorities of the Great Chu are keeping a close watch on the three-level combat readiness status in various places.

Any slight change requires an immediate upgrade to the level of combat readiness, so as to respond to any change with a steadfast approach.

But none of this has much to do with Meng Chuan, who is currently just a minor Qi and Blood Martial Artist.

At this moment, he seemed completely oblivious to the cold weather, still shirtless as he soaked in the hot spring in the backyard.

His phone screen lit up, and he saw that the things he had bought had been delivered to Huayun Mansion. He then dialed the number.

Remember to wear warm clothes. I just ordered two new down jackets, and they've arrived. I asked your aunt to pick them up today if she's free.

【Okay, Chuan'er, you too. This winter is really cold. It's so cold at work today.】

Listening to his uncle's rambling, Meng Chuan's brows and eyes gradually relaxed, as if he were being nourished and melted by this family affection.

Martial arts are not a heartless path; passion resides in fists and kicks, and concern is etched in swords and blades.

True strongmen, except for those who live in solitude, all have a light in their hearts that they want to protect, and Meng Chuan is no exception.

Alright, I've rambled on and on. Your uncle is getting more and more long-winded as he gets older. I won't disturb your martial arts practice any longer. Keep it up!

Uncle, I'm leaving for Shanghai tomorrow for a competition. Let's talk again when I get home.

On the other end of the phone, inside the villa in Huayun Mansion, the weather had not affected them at all, and the heating was working perfectly.

"It's all thanks to the children," Meng Yongzhi said with a smile, wearing only a thin nightgown.

Okay, I'll have your aunt cook a nice meal, and we'll have a good drink together!

After finishing the training, Meng Chuan felt the exhilarating progress in his hard skills and went to find Teacher Zhao Chun to practice his movement techniques.

【Azure Dragon Lock Body: Proficient (100%) → Master (1%)】

After several months, Meng Chuan finally mastered the method and was filled with emotion.

He suspected that a significant amount of dragon energy had been secretly embezzled by the dragon demon through some unknown means.
Otherwise, why would the other person be so robust? Was it natural?

At this moment, the dragon demon sensed the change in its master's emotions. Its snake-faced features revealed a cunning and sinister smile as it poked its head out from behind its head.

The moment that massive figure appeared, it instantly obscured the clear sky above Meng Chuan's head.

He gathered power around him, and the dragon demon roared with burning passion, unwillingly shrinking back into his body.

Each time its dragon energy is about to be fully accumulated, its body width is almost as thick as its own thigh.

As its cultivation progressed, its body continued to expand and grow larger.

This rate of growth made Meng Chuan wonder if every time they played against this guy, he was secretly hoarding some nutrients.
"But Teacher Dong always gets beaten to a pulp by this guy, it shouldn't be like this."
