With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 390 Earth Carries the Four Symbols of Generation and Restraint, Entangling Silk, Letter of Visit from the United Nations!
After breaking through the limits of a first-class fist technique, the resulting increase in blood and qi strength is enough to illuminate several stars within the body after reaching the second limit.

Now that the limit has been broken, even the essence gathered from hundreds of points of Qi and Blood is not enough to boost the momentum for the third time.

Therefore, Meng Chuan chose to stop the challenge and hold back.
The conditions for breaking two have been met, and most of the others have been met.

Only the martial arts doctrine has not yet reached its limit.

Coming to my senses, I saw on the panel that the fourth level of proficiency in [Dao Heart Demon Seed] was almost complete.

"Only 10% more is needed to complete it; it should be finished within two weeks."

The second major deadline is just a thin veil away from him now.

It can be penetrated with a single puncture.

That day and night.

Meng Chuan took a moment to smoke, feeling his proficiency in the Qi Observation Technique improve slightly, which pleased him greatly.

This method is best practiced when learning the "main course" of breath regulation.

After finishing his practice of the Thunderclap Hand Technique and descending the mountain, he spent half a day searching through the Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion.

Finally found the only two martial arts schools in the United University that were second-rate and included all five elements.

It's not that the Northern United University has a shallow history.

Rather, the number of such techniques is inherently limited.

The Five Elements Method usually requires genuine skill to begin with, and there are very few people who reach the top level.

It was already a great stroke of luck that Meng Chuan was able to find two second-rate martial arts techniques among them.

After he finished regulating his breathing, he sat on the ground and examined the two boxing techniques, pondering in his heart:

"Both of these styles are ancient martial arts improved forms of boxing created based on the Five Elements Fist in the era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts."

For others, the difficulty of learning it is no less than that of mastering top-notch boxing techniques.

But I already have a foundation, so it won't be too difficult for me to learn.

He essentially mastered both of these martial arts styles to the point of breaking limits.

Learning from grandchildren naturally leads to understanding everything.

Just as I expected, half an hour later, I had easily mastered both boxing styles.

[Earth-based Four Symbols Fist: Beginner Level (21%) - Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Shengke Chansi Hand: Beginner (18%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

Both martial arts styles have low-level limit-breaking characteristics, and their names don't seem particularly impressive.

Therefore, Meng Chuan didn't look at it much, waiting to break the limit in the future and then participate in the lottery.

As the saying goes, the more you worry about it now, the greater your disappointment will be later.
When he came to his senses, he realized that the [Battle Spirit] trait on his panel had been continuously glowing while he was cultivating.

This is the effect of its "Bo Jin" function being triggered.

Therefore, in addition to getting started, he also gained a lot of improvement in proficiency.

Practicing a branch of ancient martial arts that you have already mastered can increase the probability of sudden enlightenment.

Meng Chuan felt that this kind of sudden enlightenment was significantly less effective than the one triggered by [Dawn and Dusk Enlightenment].

That feeling of the world becoming clearer and a sudden enlightenment did not come with the sudden realization.

This time, he felt his mind was very sharp and his thinking was quick; he could figure out the key points with just a little thought.
"It seems that epiphanies also come in different degrees; this is a 'minor epiphany'."

Even a small epiphany is good; Meng Chuan is content.

Coming to his senses, he continued practicing his boxing, his proficiency improving rapidly.

As a second-rate style of boxing, it naturally has its shortcomings.

Earth carries the four elements, meaning that the earth element supports the other four elements. However, due to the stagnation of the earth element, the other four elements lack dynamism.

The principles of mutual generation and restraint in boxing clearly align with the five elements' generating and restraining relationships. However, the sticky and entangled movements in boxing lead to rigid transformations of the five elements, causing the opponent to falter when faced with strong opponents.

Meng Chuan easily discovered the shortcomings of both, so breaking through the limits in the future would also be easy, and improvements could be made.

The reason he sought out these two styles of boxing to practice was to prepare for the future mastery of the Five Elements and Universe Method.

After consulting with Master Qi again recently, Meng Chuan learned the necessary conditions for mastering martial arts.

Aside from the flawless mastery of the martial arts techniques based on affinity, and the spark of inspiration gained during their integration.

It is also necessary to thoroughly understand the relevant boxing principles so that the flow of qi and blood in different boxing styles can be naturally connected in the meridians.

As the Spirit Breath Fist approached its limit, he gained some profound insights.

It can only achieve integration by relying solely on the two methods of Qiankun Fa.

It cannot be "connected".

It is impossible to form a complete cognitive system.

The martial arts created in this way are insufficient to revitalize the Five Elements Return to the Origin.

Therefore, he also needs to learn other methods that encompass all five elements to complete the system.

Meng Chuan specifically chose these two boxing styles that share the same origin because he valued their common foundation with the Five Elements Universe Boxing, which would be more conducive to their future integration and mastery.

It's like telling the same story in different dialects.

In any case, as long as it is a method based on the Five Elements, it will eventually return to the core framework of the Five Elements returning to their origin.

After finishing his boxing practice, Meng Chuan glanced at his soaring proficiency level and pondered:

"I can master these two styles of boxing a little slower than third-rate boxing. I can break through the limit in two months at most."

Before this, the Spirit Breath Fist had a high chance of advancing to the next level and breaking through limits.

Then we can try to integrate these three styles of boxing with the Five Elements and the Universe.

As for how to find that spark of inspiration during creation, one naturally has to rely on the wisdom gained at dawn and dusk.
Although the sun is not visible now.

But after the cold winter, spring will come sooner or later.

As the New Year approaches, teachers and students who live far from home have chosen to leave school early.

Mount Li was somewhat deserted.

Aside from those who didn't go home for the Lunar New Year and locals who remained on campus for spiritual practice, most others have already left.

Inside the cafeteria, Meng Chuan slurped up his noodles.

Looking around at the mostly empty seats, I felt quite emotional.

Across from him, Principal Yang had just returned from the Demon's Nest and was having dinner with him.

Both of them were able to maintain their bodily functions by inhaling wind and drinking dew.

But everyone has a desire for food.

Meng Chuan is a native of Yong'an, and oil-splashed noodles are his favorite.
Yang Huan wasn't from the north and preferred rice. He stirred the beef in his bowl and casually asked:
"Meng Chuan, when are you coming home?"

"The day after tomorrow, Principal Yang, what about you?"

"I'll just fly back for a New Year's Eve dinner; I need to stay with [Lingnu]."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan put down his chopsticks and asked curiously:

"Principal Yang, I saw on the news that the Monkey King would be coming to deal with this, right?"

He was quite worried about Lingnu, having heard that the node within this demon's nest was very close to the ultimate darkness of the Qinling Mountains.

"Yes, but the Great Sages are all too busy. You already know about the temple and the node."

They are not in the human world most of the time.

Only a few Great Sages remained to guard a few frequently active [Ultimate Darkness] sites.

After a while, Zhou Sheng will return to the human world to relieve [the mountain whispers].

I'll be able to come and handle it when I have time, don't worry.

Meng Chuan nodded; he had seen Zhou Sheng make a move before.

The countless flying feathers of light resembled immortals or angels descending to earth.

With the other party present, there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

Yang Huan finished eating the last bit of food from his bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked:
"By the time you return to school, you should have already broken into the second year of high school, right?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

"After breaking through to the second level, what are your plans? Will you continue your arduous training, or will you go down to the Demon Nest for practical combat experience?"

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and said:

"I'd like to visit Wudang and Shaolin Temples, and then practice there for a while."

He hasn't touched his 20,000 credits, and he has enough resources at hand for a while.

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's plan, Yang Huan laughed and said:

"Okay, I completely agree with that. Wudang and Shaolin are the major representative sects of Taoism and Buddhism."

The former glimpses the mysteries of nature, refines qi and blood to unblock meridians, and cultivates the method of internal breathing;

The latter attained enlightenment through Zen, understood his true nature, cultivated his muscles and bones to harmonize strength and flexibility, and developed methods for body tempering.

This study trip will be very beneficial to you, and the school will support you and help send a letter of introduction before your departure.

Meng Chuan said gratefully:
"Thank you, Principal. Thank you, school."

With the letter of introduction, he felt confident enough to go to Wudang Mountain with his bald head and the aura of his Buddhist martial arts skills.
Even in a battle between two armies, the messenger is not to be killed. With this item, I shouldn't be troubled by the Taoist priests, right?
Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand without saying a word.

In the early stages of a genius's development, the focus should still be on growth and development.

Moreover, Meng Chuancai returned from Huangsha 011, and actual combat should be moderate and reasonable, as too much is as bad as too little.

He got up and left; he had other things to do.
"See you next year, Meng Chuan."

"See you next year, Principal Yang."

On February 15, Meng Chuan left the school.

As the extreme cold celestial phenomena and demonic nests in the Shaanxi region were successively dealt with, they were all eliminated.

Only Lingnu remained, waiting for Zhou Sheng's arrival.

The weather, too, seemed to come alive.

Spring is coming soon, isn't it?

Below the halfway point of Mount Li, signs of melting ice and snow have begun to appear.

The chill in the air was less intense compared to that on the mountain.

Meng Chuan and Chen Jing went down the mountain together. Chen Jing was going back to Shanghai today and was going to Xianyang Airport to catch a flight.

Chen Jing's voice traveled through the wind and snow to his ears:

"Xiao Meng, it seems you and my cousin got along very well before."

Chen Xuan said he would spar with you after you break through level two.

I sense he's somewhat dissatisfied with the ranking of your achievements in the last raid on the Demon's Nest.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan asked:
"Senior brother, does that mean he has already broken through the second limit?"

"He broke through a month ago. This kid's cultivation speed has always been amazing. I estimate it won't take him more than a few years to break through to the third level."

Chen Jing was impressed by his cousin.

Fortunately, I recently broke through to become a martial arts master.

Otherwise, I'll definitely get scolded by my elders when I go home this time.
“Look at your cousin, he’s so much younger than you, but he’s almost as big as you.”

Just thinking about it gave Chen Jing a headache.
Meng Chuan nodded to himself.

When they were outside the Demon's Nest, he felt that Chen Xuan was no ordinary person.

Such a rapid breakthrough is to be expected.

The other party was also a martial arts master from Donglian University, and Meng Chuan felt that they could indeed spar if they had the time.

Let's see who is the "strongest true disciple" of the Four Directions Alliance.

"Then I'd like to trouble Senior Brother Chen to pass on a message to him: if he has any ideas, he's ready to fight anytime."

"Hahaha, good!"

Being constantly nagged by his elders, Chen Jing was happy to see his cousin get a beating.

When the two sparred, Chen Jing still favored Meng Chuan more.

If it weren't for the precious sword in Chen Xuan's hand, which belonged to a fourth-rank Grandmaster named Zhenwu.

He felt that even if they broke the second-highest level, they still couldn't beat the current Meng Chuan.
After all, the bald man in front of them earned his reputation through sheer hard work and skill.

When Meng Chuan is mentioned, no one pays attention to the third-grade fist blade, third-grade battle armor, and second-grade spear in his hands.
Cough
Thinking about this, Chen Jing realized that his junior classmate seemed to be quite wealthy as well.
After descending the mountain, the two parted ways.

As Meng Chuan entered the city, the city of Yong'an, in late winter and early spring, came into view.

After removing the snow from the eaves, the snow on the ground has been cleared into piles.

Icicles hung from the holly bushes on both sides, shimmering faintly in the sparse sunlight.

As Meng Chuan walked along the damp pavement, he heard a familiar Qinqiang opera aria drifting from the city garden—

In February, willows sway in the spring mist; by the third day of the third month, the mountains are green and the grass is lush.

This ancient city, with a history of thousands of years, is awakening from the cold winter.
