With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 338 Breaking Through the Barrier! The Single Whip Technique! Battle Soul Space!

After getting up, he washed up in the bathroom. After being whipped last night, his muscles and bones were once again covered by the essence of earth.

While brushing my teeth, I could hear a faint rustling sound, like iron filings rubbing against a leather bag.

The muscles and bones, through the "grinding" of the earth's essence, generate energy that dissipates to the limbs and the entire body.

During this process, Meng Chuan discovered that his tolerance to blows had significantly improved.

He pounded his upper arm with half his strength, and the skin that should have been bruised only developed a layer of light yellowish-brown spots, which disappeared without a trace after three breaths.

"A thick layer of defense that can withstand attacks is also a skill."

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a moment.

Once you are in a comfortable state, slowly circulate the Dao Heart Demon Seed Mind Technique.

As time passed, the last drop of vital energy was poured into the Guanyuan acupoint.

Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, more than 1,900 points of Qi and blood gathered together and flowed through the six orifices and even throughout the body.

Without being influenced by martial arts will, the internal energy slowly flows out from the spring of consciousness, mingling and merging with the blood and qi, outlining a scene of the four seas rising within the body.

Meng Chuan unconsciously released his aura, faintly revealing the oppressive power he had gained after breaking through the [Dao Heart Demon Seed] mental technique.

A crackling sound of electricity emanated from all around, causing even the air to tremble.

Under internal observation, the Qi and blood are as fiery as fire, and the internal breath is as long and deep as water. The two are completely integrated under the guidance of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Method!

The next moment, his martial will acted like a leading sheep, guiding the two to attack the Guanyuan acupoint wall together, coordinating with his internal energy and blood!

The walls of the acupoints trembled violently as they collided with the mingled Qi and blood.

In an instant, cracks appeared all over the walls of the acupoint, a ray of golden light shot out from the cracks, and a surge of powerful energy erupted out.

Half an hour later, golden light completely shone through the entire Guanyuan point. With a soft "click," Meng Chuan felt as if the point had been reborn like a phoenix, reshaped by fierce fire.

He opened his eyes, and his entire aura was completely renewed as Guan Yuan's transformation was completed.

Only after the Guanyuan point below the navel changes can one nourish the original essence and strengthen the foundation, replenish kidney qi, enhance the core strength of the waist and abdomen, and thus improve the body as a whole.

Meng Chuan braced his legs together, his waist solidifying as he unleashed his power.

With a loud thud, it rose from the ground and shot towards a distance of over a hundred meters like a cannonball.

While its body was suspended in mid-air, Yunhen climbed upwards again until it reached a height of a thousand meters before slowly falling like a leaf.

Meng Chuan's face lit up with joy as he stood firmly on the ground.

This speed is a testament to the body's explosive power.

That's why he prioritized the third acupoint mutation, [Guan Yuan].

Of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with tonifying the kidneys.
The inverted "V" shaped area below his navel is already quite powerful, but after some experience, the changes brought about by the Guanyuan point are not yet obvious.

Meng Chuan was inexplicably a little disappointed.
After his playful antics, during which his strength had greatly increased, he pondered:
"This aperture is the last one, a treasure trove for enhancing the entire body. As the third aperture of mutation, it also signifies that my first-limit martial arts path has progressed more than halfway."

There are still about three months left. I'll strive to change one aperture per month, aiming for all six apertures to transform before the conscription!

Today, the mental cultivation technique can still circulate for four more cycles. After calming down, Meng Chuan stopped thinking about it and continued to condense his qi and blood.

Martial arts is a hard-earned skill. Only through daily accumulation can one soar to great heights when the time is right!
The cultivation of the mental techniques has ended; now it is time to fully grasp the powerful force of new life.

Looking at the fire in his mind, Meng Chuan felt a surge of desire!

After a moment's thought, he closed his eyes and made a firm decision.

"Let's do it today, not a moment longer!"

With this thought in mind, his martial arts will gently touched the "key".

When I opened my eyes again, the waves and gunfire surged and clashed before my eyes!
Sparks flew as guns and fists clashed, and the sounds of violent blows echoed continuously.

Fifty moves, one hundred moves, three hundred moves!
Meng Chuan narrowed his eyes and saw Qi Shuai straddle across the air, gripping the spear shaft tightly in both hands and slashing down with the force of a mountain falling towards him.

This is not a combat technique, but a fist technique.

This is the "Tiger-Taming Stance" from Qi Jiguang's Thirty-Two Styles of Long Fist!
Thanks to the enhanced core strength, Meng Chuan lowered his waist and stood with his legs spread wide, raising his fists from his sides like unfurled flags, displaying a broad and open stance.

Aiming at the fleeting glint of cold light, he slammed his fists inward with a powerful, resounding clang of metal against metal.

Meng Chuan gritted his teeth and actually managed to capture General Qi's spear with the [Flag and Drum Stance]!

"Oh?"

The gun trembled violently, shaking like the wind, and the recoil force, powerful enough to shatter fine steel, was transmitted through the shaft.

Meng Chuan suddenly felt numbness in his fists, fingers, and even the space between his thumb and forefinger. The moment he let go, he twisted his neck to avoid the incoming [Cannon Shot].

As time passed, the essence of Changquan (Long Fist) was fully demonstrated through the spear.

Seeing Qi Shuai retract his spear and twist the shaft, Meng Chuan immediately became extremely alert!
The two stances that caused him to fall into the water last time have arrived: the "Horse Scout" and the "Sparrow Dragon" stances.

With a sharp crack of a bowstring, Commander Qi whirled around and suddenly crouched down.

The left thigh was almost touching the ground, with the knee pointing outwards from the toes, like a rock rooted to the earth.

Meanwhile, Qi Shuai's upper body was certainly not idle.

The lead hand thrusts the spear upwards from below, like a dragon breaking through the sea. The rear hand extends behind the back, palm down, like a fully drawn bowstring ready to be released.

The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion, leaving him less than 0.01 seconds to react!
Meng Chuan knew the ruthlessness of these two combined techniques. On the surface, it resembled a phoenix nodding, directly attacking the upper body, but in reality...
Hidden danger lurks, still aimed directly at his own lower body!

He fell for it last time; the moment he was hit, his calves cramped up, and falling into the water was inevitable.
But this time it was different. Meng Chuan was also a master of Qi Jiguang's Long Fist.

Today, we will even reverse the Heavenly Gang, and our fists will be aimed directly at the founder of this boxing style!
He moved with lightning speed, taking a quick step forward to skillfully dodge the shovel kick attack. At the same time, his left hand extended like an eagle's claw, precisely grabbing the incoming dragon and pulling it backward, disrupting Qi Shuai's prepared follow-up movements.

This is—the Aodanbian!

Qi Shuai slightly raised the brim of his flat-topped hat, seemingly showing some surprise.

Just as his left hand pulled back, Meng Chuan twisted his waist and thrust his shoulder forward, clenching his right fist and slashing it out swiftly from below and then forward.

It was as if he was holding a giant axe, pointing it directly at Marshal Qi's neck.

Single Whip Combo 2.0, Meng Chuan's Development Version
Qi Shuai smiled slightly, took a step back but did not let go of his hand. An unparalleled force burst forth from his palm, and Meng Chuan was sent flying without any power to resist.

A cold glint flashed beneath the brim of his hat. He made a fist with his right hand as if he were holding a spear, and the previously captured phantom of the Azure Dragon suddenly solidified into a seven-foot-long white waxwood staff.

The spearhead suddenly turned just a hair's breadth away from Meng Chuan's fist strike!

laugh--!
The moment the spear tip struck his brow, Meng Chuan's pupils reflected the afterimage of Commander Qi's hat brim as he finished his attack.

"Martial Arts Grandmaster. Or even a Venerable One?"

The entire world shattered like a mirror, with cracks spreading throughout the heavens and earth.

The next instant, the world of imagery vanished.

When he opened his eyes again, Qi Shuai's last words were still echoing in his mind:

"The idea is acceptable; we hope to meet again someday."

Meng Chuanli stood in the courtyard, silently practicing his long fist techniques.

As you assume the starting stance, glance at the panel:

[Qi Jiguang's Thirty-Two Forms Long Fist: Perfect (88%) → (99%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

This progress in proficiency matches all his guesses.

The final 1% requires him to pave the way himself!
The Long Fist has 32 forms, and you can fight it from beginning to end.

I pondered the reasons over and over again, completely forgetting about time.

Gradually, he began to incorporate his understanding of this boxing style into his punches and kicks, displaying it with unrestrained passion.

Meng Chuan laid out all the skills he had learned in his life in his mind, such as the Five Elements Fist and the Luo Family Eight Extremes Fist, extracting the useful essence and trying to integrate them into this long fist style.

Ultimately, he incorporated the principles of the Five Elements' rotation, the fierce and powerful inch-force of the Eight Extremes, and so on, into the various moves of Changquan.

Suddenly inspired, he used the "Boiling Blood" trait to accelerate his punches.

The scorching true energy of the Crimson Sand Palm wraps around the arm, and when the posture ends, the lower body is stabilized by the control of the muscles.

The final move, "Returning Spear," is a sudden swing of the arm that penetrates the fist.

In his mind, Qi Shuai's gun shadow and the shattered shadow of the demon star overlapped and appeared.

Click!

The last invisible membrane that binds itself is easily pierced!
With a low shout, the force of the punch tore through the air, and the glowing light on the panel swirled back.

[Qi Jiguang's Thirty-Two Forms of Long Fist] Finally 100%!

The instant he broke through the limit, Meng Chuan withdrew his fist and stood up, his eyes flashing with lightning speed.

Before I could even check the panel, as this top-notch ancient martial art finally broke through its limits, a newfound sense of vitality, which I hadn't felt in a long time, surged through my body.

After the pleasure subsides, it all settles within the meridians.

A large amount of blood and qi were compressed and converged towards the fourth branch connecting to the Yongquan point.

Fifteen minutes later, everything finally calmed down.

Meng Chuan slowly opened his eyes and murmured:

"This breakthrough added over a hundred points of health and mana, which is comparable to the breakthrough achieved by the Five Elements Fist."

During the first major period, one can rely entirely on mental cultivation techniques to meet the needs of acupoint transformations.

Once the starry sky is illuminated and the second major limit is reached, the path of cultivation [Martial Arts Sky] will begin, requiring an even greater amount of vital energy.

Even though he cultivates "divine skills", he still needs fist techniques to assist in refining his qi and blood, otherwise it would be difficult for him to enter the realm of the Three Limits Master.

He decided to consider this matter later. Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan was overjoyed as he examined the new trait he had acquired.

[Qi Jiguang's Thirty-Two Forms of Long Fist: Breaking Limits]

[Gained Limit Break Trait: Battle Spirit (Intermediate)]

"You have a battle spirit space where you can communicate and learn from past martial arts masters."

Function 1: Soul Inheritance. Once the principles of ancient martial arts are mastered to a certain level, they can be unlocked in the "Battle Soul Space" by relying on mental power.
Effect 2: Understanding Ancient Martial Arts. When practicing ancient martial arts, one's comprehension is enhanced to a certain extent.

Effect 3: For those who have mastered (limit-breaking) a branch of ancient martial arts, the probability of triggering enlightenment is slightly increased.
The effects of the new trait are somewhat complex. Meng Chuan studied it for a moment before pondering:
"Although I haven't experienced this trait yet, it should be the most powerful mid-level trait below the advanced level."

As expected of a top-tier ancient martial art, the Limit Breaking trait that allowed him to die dozens of times was truly powerful!
The first function might be that it's a proper noun in the world of "beggar's version" imagery.

Whether there is a difference in effectiveness between the two, or how big the difference is, will become clear once you try them out.

Even if the effect is slightly worse, it is more stable and will trigger 100% of the time when the conditions are met.

"Perhaps it will be even more effective."

Meng Chuan still harbored a sliver of hope.
