With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 403 Levels of Life! The Wonderful Uses of True Qi! The Second Limit Stance Exercise!

Meng Chuan talked with his master until late at night before returning home that evening.

As he progressed to the second stage of cultivation, the aura emanating from him became increasingly unfathomable, something he hadn't noticed when he was with his master.

Upon returning home, Meng Chuancai suddenly noticed that his parents' eyelids twitched when they saw him.

He quickly circulated the Flower of Flesh to compress it and restrain his aura.

With his body undergoing multiple mutations, he has begun to become "inhuman".

Standing alongside ordinary people, the overwhelming presence of their life force is palpable.

It will give them the illusion that a mouse has seen a cat.

Meng Yongzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"Chuan'er is amazing now. Your uncle is not unsophisticated. He goes to work every day and has met many martial arts masters in the department."

But I still feel that, in the entire Wing On Police Station, the only one stronger than you right now is probably Sergeant Lung.

Xue Na also said from the side:
"Yes, back then, our neighbor next door to our old house said that Chuan'er was good for nothing because he practiced boxing every day."

If Chuan'er were standing in front of him now, he'd probably be so frightened he wouldn't be able to stand up.

Meng Chuan simply smiled and said nothing.

He devoted himself to martial arts and practiced diligently without ceasing, certainly not to "abuse his power" in front of ordinary people.

Afterwards, Meng Chuan checked on his uncle and aunt's progress in practicing the [Qi Observation Technique].

There's still a long way to go before you've even begun to understand it, but this method has no entry requirements.

As long as the two elders persevere, they'll master the skills sooner or later.

Meng Chuan then instructed the two on the key points of cultivating this Qi-refining method.

He then sat aside and listened to his uncle's ramblings about life's great principles, nodding frequently.

Normally, once a second-level martial arts master has mastered the [Martial Arts Power], they will be able to interact normally with ordinary people.

But once the mind is stirred, the "momentum" will unconsciously emerge.

Ordinary people can feel that trembling sensation, like an insurmountable chasm.

This is a barrier caused by the level of life. The only way to completely avoid the other two limitations is to practice the method of breath control.

He had just entered the country and was not yet able to control the momentum.

The only way to reduce its "presence" is through compression.

At this moment, Meng Chuan got up from the side and went up to the pavilion.

Xue Na and Meng Yongzhi were still having a heated discussion about how awesome they were, completely unaware that he had already left the living room.

Meng Chuan smiled knowingly, realizing that he was now the pillar of his family.

We must continue to climb higher to make this little family even more stable.

He returned to the martial arts room set up on the rooftop and then thoroughly examined his body after the second mutation.

After a moment, he looked away and pondered:
"The most significant change in this advancement to the second limit is the 355 secondary stars, which are slightly smaller than the six major acupoints."

This is also the most important thing for my Qi and Blood Martial Arts cultivation to continue to move forward.

Furthermore, the mutation of the spring combined with the Qi of the Three Flowers allowed me to release my true Qi outside my body to protect my body surface for defense.

However, my defense was already very strong, and the protective aura was merely icing on the cake. The most important thing was that it increased the striking range of my punches and kicks.

Currently, the maximum range of my external aura is less than 100 meters. As my internal energy content increases and the amount of converted true qi rises, the effective killing range of my true qi can be further extended.

If I encounter a similar area to the crocodile-man's territory again in the Demon Nest, I can clear it out with a single sweep of Tiger Soul.
Finally, the cellular mutation led to an all-around improvement in my body; both my physical strength and defensive capabilities saw significant enhancements.

However, Meng Chuan felt that the effect of this mutation was much worse than when he broke through the first major limit.

This is because the last time was equivalent to a martial artist transforming into a martial arts master.

It represents a qualitative breakthrough on the path of martial arts cultivation, and the changes are naturally significant.

Meng Chuan heard his master say that when he broke through to the Grandmaster level in the third stage...

The effects of human mutation are no less than those of a martial artist breaking through to become a martial arts master.

The first major life limit is a major hurdle for martial artists.

The fourth major limit, becoming a martial arts grandmaster, is also a major obstacle for martial artists.

The vast majority, arguably 99%, of martial artists will stop before reaching the Grandmaster level.

Some are further away, stuck at the first major limit and unable to make any progress.

However, there are also martial arts masters who are stuck at the threshold of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top for their entire lives.

Unable to reach the level of a grandmaster, yet only one step away from soaring through the heavens and escaping into the earth.

Meng Chuan calmed himself down and suppressed the little bit of pride he felt after his breakthrough.

We are still a long way from achieving our goal of living up to Champagne, and we must continue to strive forward and persevere in our training.

"It's not too late to celebrate with champagne after I break through to the Grandmaster level."

Meng Chuan felt that being two realms away from becoming a Grandmaster wasn't that far off.
The next morning, Meng Chuan took his last nap at home.

After packing my things, I prepared to return to Lishan and set off.

Meng Yiyi was busy in the lab and had already left.

Seeing that Meng Chuan was about to leave home again, Meng Yongzhi quickly came over and said reluctantly:

"Chuan'er, are you going back to school?"

Xue Na also expressed her concern:

"Let's stay home a few more days. We only come back a few times a year."

Seeing the two elders' solemn expressions, Meng Chuan smiled and said:

"Uncle and Aunt, I have to keep working hard. The world is waiting for me to save it. I need to go back and continue practicing martial arts. I can't slack off."

Meng Yongzhi smiled, raised his arm, and patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder.

"Chuan'er, you're getting a bit too cocky. Saving the world is definitely not your job. If there's danger, remember to back off. Don't forget you still have us and Master Luo, all waiting for you."

Meng Chuan nodded solemnly and said:
"Don't worry, Uncle, I know. I'll play it safe and develop stealthily."

"Haha, yes, that's exactly what Uncle meant."

Standing in the entryway, Meng Chuan hugged his family again before turning to leave. His path of cultivation at the second limit had begun.

Inside Huaqing Pool.

Meng Chuan stood in front of the small courtyard he hadn't seen for over a month.

After the cold winter, the flowers and plants in the yard began to sprout new buds.

A new cycle of life is quietly unfolding here.

This time, I returned to school from my home to the heart of Mount Li.

Meng Chuan completed the task in less than twenty minutes, an astonishing speed.

This is because, during his journey, he learned another wonderful use of true qi.

With each step, one releases true energy to the soles of the feet, which, combined with the Cloud Ladder technique, allows one to glide nearly a thousand meters.

That's equivalent to nearly a hundred big jumps, enough to jump all the way from Huayun Mansion to Beilian University.
This way of traveling not only saved time, but also gave him new insights into the control of true qi.

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan pondered and said:
"It seems that the application of externalizing true qi extends far beyond combat; there are likely many more convenient functions waiting to be discovered."

That night, Meng Chuan and his friends celebrated.

Everyone congratulated him on successfully breaking through to the second level, taking another step closer to the eighth-limit "Martial God".
Meng Chuan was also drinking very happily, and, still emboldened by the alcohol, he made some bold statements:

"I want to break through the hundredth limit!"

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Brother Chuan has a grand vision. What level is the 100th anniversary? Will Blue Star still be able to accommodate him by then?"

"Blue Star? I think the entire universe can't contain it!"

Everyone was very happy, including Meng Chuan, who did not use his internal energy to dispel the alcohol in his body and were talking nonsense.

These young people rarely get a chance to vent their emotions, but when they wake up tomorrow, they will have to return to their busy martial arts training.

As the New Year passed, Meng Chuan noticed that everyone had made considerable progress.

Xu Qingfeng and Chu Yanhu both experienced another major change, taking another step closer to the second limit.

Meng Jiaolong broke through the ninth Qi and Blood Barrier and entered the sprint stage of martial arts.

Zongping has also made some progress, but compared to the others, the gap has widened even further.

He was a genius in a regular high school.

At the top-tier martial arts university, among the most outstanding young martial artists, Zong Ping appeared completely inconspicuous.

But he was content, as his progress had already been much faster than before.

Of course, apart from Meng Chuan, Chu Yanlong's improvement was the greatest.

Having also met the conditions for breaking through the second limit, after some further preparation, they were ready to proceed with their entry into the country.

He tilted his head back and chugged the bottle, then joked:
"Meng Shen, you have to wait for the brothers. Don't fly too fast by yourself and lose sight of them."

Meng Chuan laughed:

"Don't worry, no matter how fast I fly, I'll lend a hand if anyone needs it!"

"Alright! For what Brother Chuan said, I'll punish myself with a bottle!"

"I'll punish myself with a whole box!"

"Brother Chuan, my cat really can do backflips."

Finally, Chen Jingyi rubbed her stockinged leg against Meng Chuan, subtly signaling her presence.

The young men, amidst clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, were full of vigor and high spirits.

The next day, at four in the morning.

Meng Chuan's biological clock started ringing, and he practiced martial arts under the moonlight.

Having not practiced standing meditation for a long time, he wanted to see how difficult the second-level standing meditation was.

He remained in the same position, standing there until eight in the morning.

Meng Chuan sensed that his meridians were beginning to wriggle and extend again, slowly weaving the "star trails" of his inner universe, and he felt reassured.

“Master is right. The ground training for the first to third stages is the same. I can continue to practice step by step.”

Compared to the first level of stance training, there is only one difference.

That means the cultivation speed has slowed down considerably.

He estimated that he would have to stand for eight hours a day to reach a "secondary star".

The difficulty of Meridian Stance Exercise lies in the fact that the closer you get to the six major stars at the top of the star orbit, the greater the degree of retraction the next day.

But Meng Chuan's meridians will not shrink back; they will only continue to advance upwards until they reach their limit.
What might seem like an ordeal to others, Meng Chuan endured by standing in a stance for the entire day.

With a total of 355 beads, it takes about a year to complete all the second-limit standing meditation practice.

If Master Lu knew this "cruel truth," he would probably be devastated.
Stop thinking about Master Lu in his mind and finish your standing meditation practice for the day.

Time flew by as I pondered martial arts principles.

The first star track is gradually filled with the side branches of the meridian, and the acupoints and stars at its nodes are connected.

Meng Chuandiao moved his qi and blood into his orifice, and the first secondary star shone brightly.

"354 left, let's keep going!"

With the second mutation, Meng Chuan's need for sleep and rest decreased.

I've tested it before; even if I don't sleep for three days and three nights, I'm still full of energy.

So there's not much to say, just focus on your liver!

This kind of visible progress is the most fascinating.
Principal Yang has been away from school for the past two days and told Meng Chuan to wait for his return before setting off for Wudang.

He wasn't in a hurry; he relied on Yang for his letter of visit and his "backup plan."

While waiting, Meng Chuan diligently practiced his boxing.

The following afternoon, after finishing the stance training, I felt another side branch growing.

Meng Chuan decided it was time to break the limits of [Thunderbolt Scattered Hand].
