With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 401 Stars Pierce the Sky, Fists Open the Vastness of Heaven and Earth!
Meng Chuan was completely baffled. What was Xu Qingfeng thinking?
[I'm practicing martial arts, so spit it out.]

On the other end of the phone, his figure was as tall as the roof of his own villa, almost an exaggeratedly tall ten meters.

After the second limit, his muscle and bone resilience, enhanced by the second mutation of his body, improved by an astonishing amount.

[Final Liberation] The form is fully unfolded, and the ten-meter-tall body stands like an ancient giant.

The muscles were bulging like cast iron, and with the earth's energy attached to them, the high and low muscle tissues stretched out like a continuous black mountain range.

Every inch of skin reflects the star patterns within the body, and the qi and blood, mixed with the magnetic field, transform into crimson steam that surges around the body.

His huge hand, which carefully held the phone, was larger than a door if it were fully open.

When clenched into a fist, it's about the size of a front-loading washing machine.

The ground cracked under his stomping, and Meng Chuan slowly shrank his body while listening to Xu Qingfeng showing off on the other end of the phone.

Hahaha, I've made a fortune this time, Meng. You have no idea. Ling Nu's Demon Nest is much smaller than the previous Huangsha 011, and there are so many Heavenly Demons.

I mingled with the garrison troops and had a blast killing them all. This time, I even got an extra 20% bonus for my achievements—it was absolutely awesome!

【.】

At this moment, Meng Chuan's mind was focused on the panel of traits in his mind:
The extreme value of the liberation effect of [Flesh Flower] has been reached (350%).

Seeing that no sound came from the phone, Xu Qingfeng said again:

[Lao Meng, are you listening?]

[I'm listening, that's impressive!]

I feel like you're just brushing me off. Never mind, I'm hanging up now. See you next year.

Xu Qingfeng tightened the bundle on his back; it was full of academic credits, and he was afraid it would run away.

Chu Yanhu, standing to the side, nudged Xu Qingfeng and held up his phone to indicate:
"Brother Chuan just broke through to the next level, he probably doesn't have time to deal with you."

Xu Qingfeng was still counting the spoils when he asked without even looking up:
"Breakthrough what?"

"Breaking through two levels!"

".Gan!"

Huayun Mansion.

After Meng Chuan finished his experiment outside the door, demonstrating the effects of the "liberation" effect after the second limit, he turned around and went home to rest.

He is still in the recovery phase after the second mutation, and cannot punch or practice standing meditation.

Leaning back on the sofa, I chatted with my uncle.

Meng Chuan looked at the "gifts from the United Nations" on his phone.

At the Yong'an branch, the Academic Affairs Office transferred 1000 credits.

Meng Chuan's assessment was: Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.

Grandmaster Chen Qiushui also transferred 500 credits to him, wishing him well:

"Congratulations on breaking the two-digit mark! May you reach even greater heights next year."

As the true lineage of martial arts, the main campus of the Northern Union University also sent a congratulatory telegram.

"Congratulations on breaking through the second major limit of your cultivation realm! May your future be filled with boundless power and boundless ambition. (Your credits have been transferred to your card; please check them.)"

Meng Chuan's assessment: The headquarters still has the money.
With the advancement to the second stage, the first assessment of the Martial Arts Master Class has been easily passed.

The stipulated three-year period was about to reach its limit, but he broke through it in less than a year.

Powerful, needs no further explanation.
Just as he logged into the United Nations system, Meng Chuan casually opened the [Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Ranking].

The Earthly Fiends Ranking was automatically removed when I broke through to the Martial Arts Master level.

The lowest rank on the Heavenly Spirits Ranking is second place, which I didn't have a chance to challenge before, but now...
Meng Chuan is studying the strength of the many martial arts masters on the list, looking for a suitable opponent for himself.

"96th place, Lu Zhuxiao from Yong'an Campus, second to last."

As the gatekeeper of the Heavenly Gang Ranking, Lu Zhuxiao can earn 200 credits for free every month.

Meng Chuan was just observing, using the other person as a comparison, to see how many opponents he could challenge.

After all, Master Lu was already in a difficult situation, and challenging him would only make things worse for Master Lu, who was already struggling financially.
"Once my body recovers, the strength I can currently display openly will be approximately [the power of three to four continents] after I am fully unleashed."

Aside from martial arts masters, everyone else should be someone you can try to get a chance with.

The Three Limits Masters at the top of the Heavenly Gang Ranking have more Qi and Blood than I do, even just a fraction of it.

Meng Chuan wasn't that arrogant; he didn't dare to challenge someone of a higher level as soon as he entered the realm.

He glanced at the familiar name on the list: [Crimson Fire Ape - Chen Jing].

Senior Brother Chen has just broken through the three limits and recently completed the ranking challenge, ranking 59th on the Heavenly Gang List.

Meng Chuan considered for a moment, pondering in his heart:

"Then I'll challenge the 69th place. The contestants a few places ahead of me could enter the third level of the competition at any time."

"If they break through their current level and come looking for revenge, that will be very difficult for me."

Those ranked 60th to 70th on the Heavenly Ranking receive a monthly academic credit reward of 350.

That adds up to over four thousand a year, which is quite a lot.

Meng Chuan decided that once he recovered, he would set off for Wudang and complete the challenge along the way, hoping to start receiving government pay as soon as possible.
He took one last look at the group messages for the "Failed Martial Arts Exam Candidates".

This small group is the chat group for the Martial Arts Master Class at Yong'an Branch School.

The screen is filled with messages, as far as the eye can see.

They were all congratulating him on his successful breakthrough and offering him a red envelope.
Meng Chuan smiled knowingly and casually sent out several thousand yuan in red envelopes in the group, so that his classmates could also share in the joy.

This amount of money is just a fraction of his current income from short video teaching, and is not worth mentioning.

Looking back, he was no longer the bottom performer in the martial arts class.

Apart from Senior Brother Chen Jing, who is far ahead of everyone else, I have already entered the second tier.

He once again surpassed Chu Yanhu, Xu Qingfeng, and others by a whole realm.

As for his old classmates from the Martial Arts Master Class, he had already left them far behind, their taillights no longer visible.
One should always aim higher. After sending out the red envelopes, Meng Chuan switched back to the leaderboard to check the current number one on the Heavenly Gang Ranking. The Heavenly Gang Ranking only includes members of the Northern Union University below the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.

The previous number one on the leaderboard was the top master of this division, [Chiwen Liujiangyuan].

Six months ago, Master Liu had already broken through to become Grandmaster Liu and was automatically removed from the list.

The current number one on the leaderboard is the former number two, [Yuantao Shou·Xie Canglan].

Unlike Liu Jiangyuan, who was not on the list, Xie Canglan is the main school's boxing instructor and a top martial arts master among the three limits.

Looking from top to bottom, the three limited editions from the main campus account for a full two-thirds of the list.

At the Yong'an campus, only Dong Yue and one other master of the Pictographic School made it into the top ten.

They came in eighth and ninth place, respectively.

As for Daoist Qi, Master Dong said that with his strength, even the [Yuantao Hand] would have to avoid his sharp edge.

However, he had just taken up his post at the UN General Assembly and immediately started asking people to work on things, showing a lack of understanding of "workplace" etiquette.

In addition, Master Qi was focused on breaking through to the Grandmaster level and had no time to challenge others.

Even the monthly credit incentives for the top ten on the Heavenly Gang Ranking are a drop in the ocean for him as he faces the challenge of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Meng Chuan put away his phone and stopped thinking about it. He got up and stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance, practicing his [Qi Observation Technique].

This Qi cultivation method will not affect the body's recovery, so it can be used as a major course in the near future.

For the next few days, Meng Chuan stayed at home and with his master.

While learning about the cultivation after breaking through to the second level, he also restored his body after the second mutation.

He felt the true energy being released from his body, circling around him like a puppy.

Under Luo Guanyun's tutelage, Meng Chuan gradually adapted to the various mysterious changes that occurred after his true qi left his body.

He also kept track of the latest big news: ["One Saint and Two Heavenly Kings have launched a fierce attack in Ling the Demoness's lair."]

After reading the news report, Meng Chuan felt a surge of emotion:

"It's a real shame to miss such a grand martial arts spectacle."

But as the Demon Nest became more active, there were plenty of opportunities for such large-scale events, and Meng Chuan quickly figured it out.

At the same time, Ping An Middle School learned that he had broken the second-highest score.

The new principal was accompanied by reporters, as well as Director Zong, the current second-in-command of the Yong'an Publicity Department.

I made a special trip to Huayun Mansion to conduct an exclusive interview with him.

The reporter handed over the microphone, smiling as he asked:

"Hello, Master Meng. You already showed your talent when you were at Ping'an Middle School. May I ask how you specifically cultivated yourself back then?"

Meng Chuan chose to tell the truth:

"Practice Guoyiquan (National Righteousness Boxing), practice it every day, from morning till night."

"Also, it's said online that you are the first successor of the Xingyi Wuxing School. Do you have any learning experience about Wuxingquan that you can share with everyone?"

"My experience is that, no matter which faction you study, you should first master the National Righteousness Boxing."

Guoyiquan is a foundational martial art practiced by all, and its popularity is unparalleled.

Meng Chuan's mind is working incredibly fast now.

These broadcasts were made public by the official founder of the new version of Guoyiquan.

My own teaching experience will reach a new level.
"."

No matter what he said, Meng Chuan could always steer the conversation back to the term "Guoyiquan" (National Righteous Boxing), leaving the reporter bewildered.
Meng Chuan is such an honest kid. Director Zong, standing to the side, smiled and took the microphone, saying a lot on his behalf.

Finally, he looked at the camera and said with a touch of emotion:

"On the path of martial arts, diligence comes first. It's more important than anything else for the children to see Yong'an City at four in the morning!"

Before we knew it, it was the end of February.

Meng Chuan's cells have successfully mutated, and his muscle mass has returned to its peak.

He stood on high ground, his gaze shifting from the city of Yong'an, where spring had returned to the earth.

With eyes slightly closed and breaths rumbling, the perception of the Qi Observation Technique spreads like ripples.

As the breath deepens, the 361 acupoints and celestial bodies within the body resonate subtly, creating a connection with the energy of heaven and earth.

At that moment, Meng Chuan's vision suddenly broadened.

The myriad lights of Yong'an City transformed into colorful columns of light in his eyes.

The underground lung vessels meander like silver snakes, and everything is clearly visible.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a wisp of drifting morning mist solidified in his palm. This is one of the signs of the initial formation of the "Qi Absorption" technique.

At this moment, not only did his true energy remain within his body, but he could also perceive the flow of energy within a radius of 100 meters.

In ancient times, this would definitely be considered the work of a member of a celestial family.

"I see."

Meng Chuan chuckled lightly, dissipated his aura, and then jumped off the rooftop.

At that moment, a notification appeared on the panel, and in my mind, the Qi Observation Technique had advanced:
[Aura Observation: Proficient (97%) → Master (1%)]

"Once you master this Qi cultivation method, you will be able to break through the limitations of your mouth and nose, and truly touch with your hands and use your body to contact the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."

It not only enhanced my perception of nature, but also benefited my understanding of the principles of Five Elements Fist.

It also enhances my control over various types of energy; for example, now that my true energy leaves my body, I can control it almost as easily as using my own limbs.

According to what Master Qi had said before, one should continue to practice this method of Qi cultivation until one deeply comprehends it.

At that time, with a simple grab, one can condense the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius into a tangible form, transforming it into protective energy or offensive weapons to empower oneself.
