With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 394 The Theory of Eight Extreme Qi and Blood of Shaking the River: Overcoming Softness with Hardness!

I thought that I hadn't finally liberated my body, nor had I used a powerful attack like [Binghuo Yanglei].

Unexpectedly, it still caused serious damage to Uncle Liu's body.
He underestimated his own strength and the power that these "small traits" combined could unleash.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanduo's expression first turned somewhat dejected.

Then he gave Meng Chuan a thumbs-up, grinning broadly and saying:

"Damn, you're really something else."

His voice sounded like a sigh, or perhaps a lament of old age.

Liu Sanduo was somewhat impressed by Meng Chuan, this new generation.
Seeing that Uncle Liu's face was pale, Meng Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

With a flick of his right finger, the Cloud Water Pill fell into his mouth.

Liu Sanduo himself said it was a superficial injury, which Chen Xuewu couldn't tell.

However, he could also see that the punch had slightly injured his internal organs.

"Uncle Liu, this is a high-grade healing pill. You can refine it with peace of mind, and you will be fully recovered in about seven days at the latest."

Meng Chuan said, still a little embarrassed.

After all, it's the Lunar New Year
Liu Sanduo wanted to refuse, but the Yunshui Pill was already in his throat; he couldn't just force it out.
After he swallowed, he waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. Don't blame yourself for losing."

Alright, I've verbally explained the essence of [Hanjiang Bajiquan] to you. You have a solid foundation in Bajiquan, so go practice on your own. *cough cough*

In martial arts sparring, injuries are inevitable.

Seeing that Uncle Liu had regained some of his strength, Meng Chuan nodded and listened attentively to what he had to say.

"Ahem, got it? Also, do you know how to use a spear? The Eight Extremes Six Harmonies Spear."

Meng Chuan nodded and then shook his head.

He is skilled with a spear, and he has also learned some of the Six Harmonies Spear technique through Changquan and Bajiquan, but he has not studied it systematically.

"Go back to my house and I'll get you the spear manual to practice. How can you learn Bajiquan without practicing Liuhe Spear?"
"Ahem, if we were to fight with weapons, I'd definitely show you the prowess of my big gun!"

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. You should go back and rest now."

Meng Chuan thought that if he wore the third-grade True Martial Fist Blade, Uncle Liu would probably be unhappy again.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuewu was listening to his master explain the "Hanjiang Bajiquan" (Shaking River Eight Extremities Fist).

But it was as if I were listening to a book written in heaven.

Although it is only a low-level true skill, the martial arts principles contained within it are beyond the comprehension of martial artists.

Chen Xuewu only knew its form, not its meaning.

Meng Chuan listened and nodded frequently, having almost fully grasped the principles of Bajiquan.

Liu Sanduo forced a smile and said:

"Judging from your appearance, there shouldn't be any problems."

The original boxing manual was in the Liu family's old house. If you want to experience the true essence of martial arts, just let me know and I'll go get it.

"No need, thank you Uncle Liu."

"Alright, you can practice on your own then."

This battle nearly cost him his life.

Liu Sanduo forced himself to finish speaking, and Chen Xuewu helped him stand up.

Meng Chuan clasped his hands in apology, but Liu Sanduo waved his hand and turned to leave.

"When your master comes back, we'll have a meal together. His good disciple will give me a good beating, and I'll make sure he suffers!"

"I'm so sorry."

Meng Chuan looked rather embarrassed.

"I'm leaving now. Go and practice hard. Only when you can beat me in Bajiquan will I be willing to admit my age."

Liu Sanduo is quite competitive.
Meng Chuan clasped his hands and smiled, "Take good care of your injuries, and I will definitely carry forward the Eight Extremes of the Shaking River."

He plans to practice this method and eventually integrate it with other Bajiquan methods to create his own unique Bajiquan Dao.

after the war.

Because the fight between the two was so intense, many people in Huayun Mansion braved the freezing cold to come out and watch.

Meng Chuan originally intended to learn the basics of boxing on the spot.

Seeing this, it could only move its toes and disappear without a trace.

The attic of the house.

While recalling what Uncle Liu had just said, Meng Chuan gently tried to move his fists and feet.

"Shaking the River" is the momentum of the entire new Bajiquan style.

Every punch, kick, elbow, and lean must have the imposing force to shake rivers, lakes, and seas.

It retains the power of boxing while incorporating the imagery of rivers.

This spirit of great rivers and mountains is also the fundamental principle that helps him achieve true mastery.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and in an instant, he understood everything perfectly.

"The Thunderous Wave Hammer, the Broken Cable Elbow, the Rudder-Swinging Fist, the River-Locking Hand, the Sea-Exploring Palm, the Leaping Wave Step, and finally, the true killing move, the Sinking Boat Lean."

Although it only has seven moves in total, the techniques are seamless and without any gaps, making it a complete and authentic set of martial arts.

I'm reminded of that damned Professor Li, who fooled himself with the incomplete Molten Core Flame Burst Fist, claiming it was the complete version.

Comparing the two, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent; Uncle Liu is truly one of our own.

Thinking about this, Meng Chuan felt even more ashamed of what had just happened.
Fortunately, he had the Cloud Water Pill, and Uncle Liu would recover in a few days; otherwise, he would have no face to face the master and disciple.
"."

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan focused on learning boxing and didn't think about anything else.

He tiptoed around and gestured a few times, simply stretching his arms.

A strong wind swirled and roared inside the house.

If they went all out, the whole house would be blown to pieces.
Helpless, Meng Chuan opened the window and jumped out, then had to find a secluded place to practice his boxing.

If it attracts an audience, let them watch if they want; it's still not as convenient as going to Mount Li.

He cleared his mind of all distractions, and his aura instantly surged forth.

With a low growl and a lunge stance, his body surged forward with power, his fist slicing forward like a razor.

The fists surged like a tidal wave, one punch after another, unleashing a powerful, trembling force that seemed to stop a flying boat.

He followed up with rapid steps, moving as swiftly as if riding the waves, bringing his body closer to the point where the fist had struck.

Then, using the elbow as a "cable post," turn and twist your waist to strike horizontally. Like the explosive force of a snapping ship's cable, it bursts open, blasting the air into nothingness.

The surging hammer, seamlessly connecting the broken cable elbow, is incredibly smooth.

With a foundation in Bajiquan, it was indeed not difficult for Meng Chuan to learn this basic martial art.

After studying for an hour, I could use all the moves except for the "Sinking Boat Lean" to execute them without hesitation.

After practicing five more times, a notification popped into his mind that the martial arts had been collected and that he had just started learning the basics of boxing.

He continued to strike while the iron was hot, consolidating his position.

As more and more people gathered around, Meng Chuan paid no heed, immersing himself in his boxing technique and sweating profusely.

"Tsk tsk, this young man looks familiar."

"Meng Chuan, old man, do you remember Meng, the one with the steel gun?"

The old man suddenly realized:

"Oh, him? I remember him. That kid is really good. His punches are quite impressive, just like our Yuanzai."

"You're right."

The middle-aged man beside him didn't argue, but said helplessly.

As a top-tier residential community in Yong'an, Huayun Mansion is inhabited by people who are both wealthy and capable.

This middle-aged man was the martial arts teacher at the school of "Yuanzai," whom the old man referred to as a junior master of the Nine Qi and Blood Barriers.

Meng Chuan's body was already surrounded by momentum. If he were to step into a space of more than ten feet, he would probably be torn apart by the terrifying force and momentum.

If it were "Yuanzai" (a nickname for a character from a popular Chinese novel), there probably wouldn't even be any trace left.
Meng Chuan didn't have time to care what others thought. He was thrilled as he listened to the "proficiency +1%" message constantly popping into his mind!

The boxing practice ended at 3 p.m.

He played for five hours straight, even missing lunch, without feeling tired at all.

I only remembered today's mental cultivation class and rushed home.

Before entering meditation, he looked at the panel, curious to see what qualities this fist breaking the limit would bring.

[Shaking the Eight Extremes: Beginner (8%) → (9%) Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Overturning the River (Intermediate)]

Meng Chuan nodded to himself, unsure whether a low-level true ability could acquire a high-level trait.

Even though it's an intermediate-level trait, the name "Overturning the River" is enough to make people look forward to it.

After countless attempts to break limits, Meng Chuan could roughly understand the meaning behind the name of this boxing style's limit-breaking characteristic.

"If we compare the river to the representation of 'softness,' then overturning the river is the way of overcoming softness with strength."

No matter how many times he tries to neutralize or soften my strength, I will break through with a single punch. Aside from other effects, it will certainly enhance my powerful fist intent.”

This is what he needs: a strong, high-potential combat trait.

"Perhaps it can even enhance my understanding of Bajiquan or Shuixingquan, then I'll have made a profit."

Back home, Meng Chuanxian calmed the blood and energy that had been drained from learning the basics of boxing.

Even a beginner's grasp of advanced boxing techniques can bring about a regeneration of Qi and blood.

Although the quantity is small, it is enough to compare with the improvement brought about by mastering or even reaching the pinnacle of a third-rate boxing style.

Boxing techniques, especially when they reach the level of true skill.

Each time you enter a new environment, the stimulation it provides to the human body will suddenly increase to a new level.

According to Grandmaster Chen Qiushui, the more advanced the boxing technique, the more it can stimulate the body to generate qi and blood.

For example, from beginner to mastery of a first-class boxing style, the human body can obtain about two to three hundred units of Qi and blood.

Therefore, a low-level genuine martial arts technique is two to four times more powerful than a first-level one, depending on the degree of stimulation the technique provides to the human body, with a wide range.

Intermediate-level true skill is several times that of low-level skill. The higher the level of the fist technique, the more terrifying the boost to the generation of qi and blood.

Therefore, a martial artist who only studies basic boxing techniques cannot become a "martial arts master".

The second limit is extremely high, with tens of thousands of points of Qi and Blood.

Even with core methods, which serve as the main channel for improving Qi and blood.

However, it still needs to be combined with genuine martial arts practice to help the second stage of Qi and blood reach its full potential.

Meng Chuan looked at the panel. Including the [Shaking River Eight Extremes], he currently possessed two complete and one incomplete true-level fist techniques.

"Leaving aside the incomplete Molten Core Flame Burst Fist, I wonder how much energy and blood the remaining two techniques can bring me."

However, Meng Chuan didn't particularly care about this.

He is a true disciple of the Martial Arts School, and the martial arts techniques in the United University's Martial Arts Pavilion are numerous and can definitely meet his future needs for energy and blood.

What I need to do is to find among them the true skills that can bring more powerful qualities.

Learning everything once and then selecting from the options on the panel is a good idea.
However, some high-difficulty boxing techniques, such as intermediate and advanced levels of true skill, are not suitable.

Aside from the Five Elements Fist, he currently lacks sufficient understanding of the martial arts principles of other styles of boxing.

To get started, you need to find a teacher who has mastered the corresponding boxing style and spend credits to learn from them.

If you learn everything, you'll go bankrupt.
Before practicing the mental techniques, Meng Chuan received a message on his phone.

A smile appeared on his face the moment he clicked on it:
[Luo Guanyun: My disciple, I am flying in the sky. I will arrive in Yong'an tomorrow night.]

Meng Chuan smiled knowingly.

It's been a long time since I've seen my master in person, and I miss him quite a bit.

To keep the operation secret, Luo Guanyun did not use any transportation and flew back and forth entirely by himself.

A grandmaster's true qi is limited.

He flew from the island nation of Kyushu, and had to stop in Shanghai for a short rest before he could set off again.

Meng Chuan told his master to watch the road carefully while flying in the sky, and not to use his phone and veer off course.
After replying to his master's text message, he put down his phone instantly.

The UN's task system sent a notification with a "ding".

[Normal Task]

[Task assignment issuer: Fucheng Police Station.]
