With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 387 Three Breakthroughs! Anomalies at Chaoyuan!
The next morning, at the Lotus Stream behind Huaqing Pond.

In the wind and snow, two spear beams met, and a clear, resounding clang echoed.

The two forces clashed the instant the blades collided.

Meng Chuan's power was purely a burst of energy from his body, creating a truly awe-inspiring force.

Only the rolling white waves followed the direction of the gun, swimming freely.

Seeing this, Lu Zhuxiao was somewhat shocked.

The reason is simple: this kid has a huge capacity!
The ten-foot-long golden light emanating from his spearhead was a concrete manifestation of his manipulation of martial arts techniques.

clang--!
The final, full-force impact caused Lu Zhuxiao to feel a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, and his arms twitched and trembled slightly, almost causing him to lose his grip on the gun.

In contrast, Meng Chuan stood firm, bracing himself against the ground with a bow stance, enduring the combined attack of his qi and blood with his martial arts prowess, remaining as steadfast as a golden bell striking the earth.

Although it is called a stream, it has long been frozen solid into a long and narrow glacier due to the weather.

Meng Chuan and Lu Zhuxiao stood on the ice, having put away their guns.

After the war, he sat on the ice to recuperate.

Lu Zhuxiao saw Meng Chuan's black shell disappear, and the multicolored mysterious light slowly dissipated.

He shook his numb arm and said helplessly:

"Your tortoise shell is incredibly hard. No wonder it's called the 'Heavenly Body of Horizontal Training'; how did you train it to be so abnormal?"

Lu Zhuxiao also felt that Meng Chuan's marksmanship had improved greatly.

One can see from their movements that they already possess a certain military might.

Meng Chuan smiled slightly and said:

“Master Lu, you can also take some time to practice your hard skills; it will be beneficial.”

"Ah, you're right. I'll ask Old Dong to teach me later."

"Okay, I'll head back now. I'm going back to my meditation practice; I have class this afternoon."

"Alright, Master Lu, you go first. I'll practice my boxing for a bit longer."

After Lu Zhuxiao left, Meng Chuan got up from the glacier and looked at the control panel:
[Snowwalking Fist: Perfect (95%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Piercing Palm Fist: Perfected (96%) Awaiting Limit Break]

He recently learned two styles of boxing: Snow Walking Fist and Piercing Palm Fist, as well as the Five Elements Fist and Long Fist styles.

Benefiting from the effects of the Bo Jin method and the increasing strength of the Five Elements martial arts principles, it was completed in a short period of time.

Meng Chuan turned his gaze away from the panel and pondered:

"Let's go all out today and break through the limits of both gates at once!"

Previously, the Battle Soul traits and the newly broken limit-breaking third-rate fire attribute fist were filled into the Five Elements Wheel.

The proficiency of the Five Elements and Universe Technique has reached the second breakthrough level (95%).

Today marks the third time we've broken through the limits!
With the snow-covered landscape as a backdrop, his two water-elemental fist techniques were performed with great artistic flair.

Snow Walking Fist is easy to understand, while Piercing Palm Fist draws inspiration from the penetrating nature of water, emphasizing straight-line strikes and variations in bending and stretching.

Although it is a long fist style, the movements are fast and short, as precise as water flowing through a narrow gap.

If Meng Chuan wanted to break through the limitations, he focused on the point that "water can penetrate anywhere".

Frost flew everywhere, and the punches were fierce, like an ice storm sweeping across the far north, each punch carrying a bone-chilling cold.

Meng Chuan's nostrils twitched; he could already smell the snow.

This aura, enhanced by the Qi Observation Technique.

Like the spirit of a mountain frozen in ice crystals, it bursts forth with vitality after being shattered by the force of the punch.

Each strand carries the memory of the snow that accumulates on Mount Li year after year.

Its essence is also the spirit of water.

As Meng Chuan continued to punch, the commotion around him grew increasingly exaggerated.

This is "borrowing momentum," using the power of heaven and earth to enhance the boxing technique.

Using fists to connect with heaven and earth, absorbing the beauty of nature in the moves and routines, and condensing the falling snow into the cold gleam of the fist.

It transforms the biting frosty wind into a surging, icy river of spiritual energy flowing through the meridians.

Two hours later.

As expected, the panel displayed a series of notifications, indicating that both martial arts techniques had successfully broken through their limits.

"call"

Meng Chuan exhaled a long breath, which froze into a long, narrow white mist in the low temperature.

"The art of observing qi is truly wondrous; capturing a trace of natural energy can actually aid my cultivation."

He opened his hand and stared at the lingering snow mist in his palm.

A faint glimpse reveals the natural rhythm flowing within.

"Truly wondrous."

If it weren't for the fact that he was practicing martial arts, Meng Chuan would have suspected that he was cultivating immortality.

However, it must be said that the Taoist Qi cultivation method does indeed have a certain something to it.
Putting aside these strange thoughts, Meng Chuan's mind instantly focused on the control panel.

The Five Elements Wheel appeared, and the Limit Breaker Frost of [Snowwalking Fist] was dragged and placed on it.

Meng Chuan glanced at the effects of the low-level trait 【Frost】 and then stopped looking at it.

Like the first to break through the limits of the Penetrating Palm Fist, [Penetrating Cold] is the same.

These are all practical traits that are not very useful to him.

The limit-breaking characteristics of these ordinary third-rate boxing techniques are mostly no longer keeping up with Meng Chuan's growth rate, and can't even be considered as adding icing on the cake.

"Let's start with the second-rate version of the Five Elements Fist Technique for the future."

These small, practical effects require accumulating ten or eight before they become useful.

The practical combat characteristics of a third-rate boxing technique after breaking through its limits can only raise its lower combat skill level.

An enemy that can be killed with a single slap has no room to utilize this trait.

A powerful opponent that requires your ultimate liberation and all-out effort.

This trait is practically useless.

As his martial arts skills improve, his combat abilities become more relevant. He needs effects that can raise his combat ceiling, rather than these "add-ons."

Of course, it still depends on the next limit-breaking requirement of the Five Aggregates Universe Method.

If lower-level traits are still useful, then it's not that we can't continue.
In all courses related to Five Elements Fist, the highest priority is given to the concept of "Five Qi Returning to the Origin".

A few breaths later, the Five Elements Wheel finally digested [Frost].

The Five Elements and Universe Technique has been successfully completed, with the final 5% proficiency achieved.

On the special attributes panel, the Five Elements Convergence radiated brilliant light, and the words "Second Tier" slowly faded away.

Meng Chuan stared intently at it:

【Five Elements Gathering at the Origin (Third-Tier Core)】

Function 1: Laying the foundation for the five internal organs.
Function 2: The five elements complement each other
Function 4: The Five Elements Revolve
Function Five: Wisdom of the Court
Effect Six: At the Beginning of the Origin, the characteristics of Xingyi and the Five Elements are brought under the command of the Five Qi, which can increase the proficiency of (?).

This upgrade still didn't produce any new effects.

However, the effects of the first five functions have been improved.

It involves the efficiency of spiritual energy conversion, comprehension of the Five Elements Fist, the power of the Five Elements Fist, and the recovery speed of the Five Elements True Qi, showing significant progress compared to the second-tier core.

After some reflection, Meng Chuan pondered and said:
"The most crucial aspect of the third-tier core is that it enhances my Five Elements Martial Principles."

"A low-level True Skill Five Elements Fist like the [Molten Core Flame Burst Fist] should be relatively easy for me to practice."

Unfortunately, this method is still incomplete and needs to be derived by ourselves.

Meng Chuan felt that it would be more worthwhile to cultivate other practices.

The function at the very bottom, 【朝元之始】, is explained.

Meng Chuan was a little confused. Before? The text at that location was the Five Aggregates Heaven and Earth Method.

"This is the level of the core trait that the Five Elements Universe Technique cannot improve?"

Then, his mind returned to the martial arts section.

【Five Aggregates Heaven and Earth Method: Breaking Limits Three Times (1%)】

"Like the secret technique, it has lost the 'Pending Limit Break' and the 'Limit Break Trait' text."

Meng Chuan was the first martial art I saw in the martial arts section. It was a martial art that I could continue to grind for proficiency in, but I couldn't break through the limit.

The fact that you can still keep grinding means you haven't reached the limit.

However, due to some reason, it is temporarily impossible to continue breaking the limit.

The Five Elements Wheel was still there, and he tried to drag the newly formed penetrating cold quality into it.

The panel dimmed for a second, and the Five Elements Wheel pushed out the Cold Penetration trait.

[Insufficient conditions to fill in.]

Meng Chuan pondered:
"The current situation is quite clear: the Five Elements Returning to the Origin has gone astray."

Because the function of Chaoyuan has changed, the technique that can elevate its level has become (?).

This is because the current Five Elements and Universe Method cannot generate a fourth-order quality Five Elements Gathering.

What should I do?
The panel flickered, and in the darkness, Meng Chuanming suddenly understood:

"Just as the Qiankun Fist has transformed into the Qiankun Method, I need to make it transform again and break the existing martial arts shackles."

Unlike breaking the limit, breaking the limit involves further analysis based on the previous steps, raising the upper limit.

What I need to do is to revitalize and optimize martial arts as a whole.

"Create land capable of supporting more of the Five Elements martial principles, thus allowing the [Five Elements Gathering at the Origin] to blossom and bear fruit once more."

In practice, given our current level of expertise, it's impossible to go from zero to one.

To create a more powerful Xingyi School Five Elements Core Method than the Qiankun Method.

Therefore, it is necessary to "integrate and apply knowledge".

Just like the five ancient martial arts styles merging together to form the Five Elements Spiritual Breath Fist;

The four gates of hard kung fu, combined with the blessing of the Brahma Dharma image, have been connected to form the Brahma Suppression of Hell.

He needs to find a boxing style that is compatible with the Five Elements Boxing and try to integrate it.

To achieve mastery, one needs to break through the limitations of martial arts.

It is a boxing style that encompasses the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

He currently possesses a skill that is not far from breaking through the limit.

"I don't know if the two styles can be combined. Let's break through the Limit Spirit Fist first."

There is no requirement for a certain number of martial arts techniques to be mastered.

Perhaps after the two methods are combined, although the Five Elements Returning to the Origin can advance again, it can only advance once.

"The next five or six advancements may require further integration."

Meng Chuan felt that, just as Grandmaster Chen Qiushui had said before, martial arts were like rivers flowing into the sea, leading to the deduction of divine skills.

If one continues to integrate and understand the Five Aggregates and the Universe Method in this way...

Perhaps they can actually "synthesize" a Five Elements Divine Skill.
"Let's not think about these things for now. Since we can't improve the Five Elements Fist for the time being, let's shift the time we spend practicing the Third-Rate Five Elements Fist to the Thunderclap Hand and Five Thunderbolts."

"Breaking through to the second stage is imminent. At that time, the advancement of both fist techniques will significantly increase my Qi and blood, which will be just enough to fill the second major cycle of the Heavenly Stars."

These stars are the 355 acupoints on the meridians.

To achieve the second limit of perfection, you need 35,500 points of Qi and Blood.

This number is enormous, and Meng Chuan has already made plans in advance to "lock" the progress of his boxing skills.

If you want to advance to the second major stage as soon as possible, you cannot stop practicing the mental techniques.

With his physical strength, Meng Chuan was not afraid of the severe cold at the summit of Mount Li and began his cultivation by sitting cross-legged on the spot.

Two hours later, as a sore and distended sensation came from my meridians, the day's core practice of the Great Circulation came to an end.

A notification sounded in my mind, and on the panel, the final sprint progress was nearly halfway complete.

[Demon Seed in the Dao Heart: Level 4 (44%) → (45%)]

"Completing the fourth level within the next month and breaking through the second limit is a certainty!"

Meng Chuan had heard Master Chen talk about this many times: the second major hurdle for martial artists to overcome in their advancement requires meeting these conditions:
