With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 421 A Bountiful Harvest: Demonic Path Bewitchment is Just Bragging!
Unbeknownst to him, his thoughts were the same as those of Meng Chuan's old rival, Wu Hong.

All of them mean "goodbye to the four restrictions".
Upon hearing Zheng Chengcheng's words, Chen Xuan waved his hand and said:

"Of course we'll do the mission together and fight the Heavenly Demon. Let's not fight amongst ourselves."

Meng Chuan's strength also impressed him.

Back at East Union University, he was always a lone master, undefeated among his peers.

Just by going out on a mission, I learned what it means to be "there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding".

Meng Chuan laughed:

"Okay, once you've recovered from your injuries, we'll fight side by side again."

After the two left the hospital, Meng Chuan went back to the mountain to handle the aftermath of the Demon Nest incident, and Principal Yang also had something to discuss with him.

Zheng Chengcheng rushed to Xianyang Airport to return to Yan Huashan, and the two went the same way.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered something and said to Meng Chuan:

"By the way, Meng Chuan, my sister misses you quite a bit. Come visit me on the mountain sometime."

Zheng Zhenzhen was controlled by her grandmother and had no freedom to go down the mountain.

To be honest, as the older brother, he also felt quite sorry for him.

Getting his sister's martial arts idol to come up the mountain to meet him was a good deed he, as her older brother, had done.

Yes, Zheng Chengcheng is too oblivious when it comes to relationships.

To this day, no one has discovered that the younger sister, Zheng Zhenzhen, harbors any special feelings for Meng Chuan.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan recalled Zheng Zhenzhen's image in his mind, her pretty and lively bun hairstyle.

He's been my old comrade-in-arms for a long time, and I haven't seen him in ages.

If it happens to be along the way during my travels, it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

This trip aims to elevate the martial arts principles of Buddhism, starting with the ancestral temples of Zen Buddhism.

However, the location of the main campus of Yan Hua Martial Arts University on Yan Hua Mountain is not much inferior to Shaolin Temple, and it can also assist in related insights.

He had heard that there was a Buddhist martial arts master who had made no progress for decades, and finally traveled to Yanhua Mountain.

I once listened to an old monk named Yan Hua expounding the Yan Hua Sutra, which led me to understand the "One True Dharma Realm." I learned to observe my mind and calm my thoughts, practice loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, and understand cause and effect and reincarnation. Ultimately, I realized the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and became a master.

Honestly, even though I know it's probably made up, it's still quite captivating.
He smiled knowingly and said:

"Alright, Brother Zheng, I'll go when I have the chance."

As we bid farewell to Zheng Chengcheng, I heard his final words:
"Brother Meng, although I am no match for you in actual combat, how about we have a contest to see who can break through to level three first?"

"Okay, what's the bet?"

Hearing the other party's bold statement, Meng Chuan chuckled to himself:
"Silly child, you need to practice stance training for at least two or three years. How can you compare to me?"

He's the man who can obtain permanent certification through a single certificate and achieve extraordinary results through standing meditation.
Zheng Chengcheng just wanted to win a game and regain some face after three consecutive losses. He waved his hand and said:
"A gentleman competes without being tainted by gambling."

"That's no fun. How about I give you two more months?"

"Brother Meng, are you so confident?"

"Will you take it?"

"Then pretend I never said that."

"Get lost."

On the way back to Mount Li, Meng Chuan looked at the control panel:

[Shaking the River Eight Extremes: Proficiency (59%) → Mastery (3%)]

[Molten Core Flame Burst Fist - Fragment: Proficient (60%) → Master (26%)]

"Completeness of the cultivation technique: (77+10)%"

After this fierce battle, aside from mastering the fusion of two martial arts styles and the rudimentary form of the artistic conception,

His proficiency in all the boxing techniques he learned has improved, especially in these two, where the improvement was the greatest.

The former's proficiency increased like a rocket, reaching a level of mastery.

The latter, a fragmented version of the True Fire Fist, not only achieved a breakthrough in mastery, but also saw its completeness increase by 10%.

Meng Chuan pondered in his heart:

"Yesterday, when I delivered the final blow to Chen Xuan, who was possessed by that demon, I used his ultimate move, [Sunset Strike]."

At that time, it connected in front, like a posture of spreading wings and taking flight.

It is highly likely that it is a connecting movement technique interspersed within the fist techniques, similar to the "Leaping Wave Step" in the "Shaking River Eight Extremes" style.

Meng Chuan thought about it and figured that was roughly the idea.

"Among my Five Elements Fist training, the one I am most proficient in is the fire element."

"It's likely that with actual use in combat, this boxing style will gradually become complete without deliberate practice."

He had never practiced this style of boxing in his daily martial arts training.

Only in actual combat, in order to enhance the power of the fist when channeling the inner fire energy, was it used a few times.

The fact that Meng Chuan has reached such a high level of proficiency and mastery demonstrates that he has already come a long way in understanding the principles of fire-based martial arts.

The Spirit Breath Fist is not far from breaking its limit.

The other two are Earth-Bearing Fist and Silk-Entangling Hand, both common martial arts that encompass all five elements.

It is nearing perfection and is about to begin the countdown to breaking its limits.

With these three breakthroughs and the Five Elements Universe Method, once the four methods are fully integrated, further improving the Five Elements Return to Origin should not be a problem.

Coming to his senses, he happened to examine his internal meridians.

"Another one and a half stars have been lit up, my blood and energy are abundant, and my physical fitness has also improved considerably."

Meng Chuan estimated that his current Qi and Blood value had exceeded 5,000 points and was heading towards the five-digit mark.

At 10,000 points of Qi and Blood, even a casual, ordinary punch he unleashed would likely be equivalent to his current display of true martial arts skills. Furthermore, the strength of his Qi and Blood is fundamental to maintaining the duration of the initial stage of his mental imagery.

When unleashing an attack imbued with the power of imagery, one's vital energy also burns.

With his current 5,000 points of health, he'd probably be exhausted after only five or six punches.

If your Qi and Blood value exceeds 10,000, your stamina can double.

The importance of Qi and blood is self-evident.

While waiting for Lao Yang to summon him, Meng Chuan silently circulated his inner energy, channeling his newly generated blood and energy into the star.
He was so engrossed in his spiritual practice that he knew nothing about it.

The video of him previously beating Zheng Chengcheng and Chen Xuan, two prodigies of the same age, has already caused a huge uproar online.
Originally, Xu Qingfeng only uploaded the secretly filmed video to the school forum.

However, given Meng Chuan's extraordinary performance, the reputation of the North Union University has been greatly enhanced.

People on campus quickly shared the video.

On various social media platforms, they relentlessly mocked and ridiculed other schools.
Netizens who watched the video also had a lot of discussion.

Meng Chuan is simply inhuman. How did his fist grow to the size of a door panel in the last moment? What kind of superpower did he have to do that?
His playing style and tactics are equally masterful; watching Meng Chuan's actual combat in ten times slow motion is simply a pleasure.

As the video ended, a common question lingered in everyone's mind.

They are all exceptionally talented young people, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Netizens left comments under the video:

All I can say is, it's the same principle as academic exams. Some people can get 100 points, but damn it, they only get 100 points.

Seeing Chen Xuan and Zheng Chengcheng get completely thrashed in a two-on-one fight, I can only say that if the Four-Party Alliance were to jointly elect a true martial arts master, it would have to be Master Meng!

[I've noticed that Zheng Chengcheng has suffered three consecutive losses. Her spirit of fighting on despite repeated defeats is admirable and embodies the unwavering perseverance of martial artists like ourselves.]

With Meng Chuan leading the Xingyi school, I wonder when my Xiangxing school will produce an invincible genius to rival its brilliance!

Jiangcheng Tai Chi Academy is recruiting students. Meng Chuan (a famous Tai Chi master) came from here. Come and learn, and you could be the next Meng Chuan!

[Hey upstairs, I remember you're a hater, don't run away!]

Six pm.

Meng Chuan was practicing boxing in the courtyard when suddenly a surge of energy appeared on the large rock next to the Starry Sky Soup.

The next instant, a person appeared out of thin air and sat down on him.

Meng Chuan looked closely and saw that Lao Yang was still appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
Yang Huan rushed back from outside. He brushed aside his slightly disheveled clothes and asked:

"Xiao Meng, on the national mission system, you were the one who handled the Fucheng case, weren't you?"

"Correct."

"Have we encountered a conceptual demon?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

Yang Huan sensed that the power on the memory stone he had given to Meng Chuan had not diminished at all.

I was immediately surprised.

Without powerful spiritual strength, how could Meng Chuan kill such an invisible and intangible being on his own?

This kid has always been pretty weird, and once Yang Huan came to his senses, he stopped caring about it.

Then I talked to Meng Chuan about the main reason I came to see him this time:
"You know that the statue of Lu Zu can be used by the demonic path to collect faith power. What does that mean?"

"Lu Zu has been corrupted by demons."

"That's right, and you know about the two kings who fought the demon generals in Ling Nu's lair before, right?"

As members of the [Zu Long], some Heavenly Demon Generals can don the robes of Lu Zu, and the Demon Summoning Hall can steal Lu Zu's incense offerings. This indicates that in the Taihang region, where the [Mountain Whispers] is located, there are still Lu Zu's temples waiting to be discovered.

These are all teleportation arrays we'll use to launch a counterattack into the Demon Realm later.

Meng Chuan nodded.

As is widely known, the Demon Summoning Palace, one of the three scourges within the Great Chu Kingdom, is the ultimate dark force of external activities deep within the Taihang Mountains.

Having some free time tonight, Meng Chuan raised some questions that had been on his mind:

"Principal, is it because those demonic warriors were bewitched by these Great Demons that they betrayed humanity?"

He thought of the crocodile-men inside Huangsha 011.

Yang Huan said:

"I can only say it's a part of it. You must have heard those seductive voices when you were fighting the Heavenly Demon."

Some people with weak wills are seduced by ideas such as "divine kingdom", "divine child", "ascension" and "eternal life".

Thus, they abandoned the martial way and embraced the demonic way.

Some people, however, are born with antisocial personalities, and joining the demonic path is like a fish in water. Take Li Xiao, the most wanted criminal, for example. Even before joining the Demon Summoning Hall, he was a shameless character who betrayed his master and ancestors.

Therefore, by committing beastly acts, not only do they feel no remorse, but they are also of one mind with them, which allows them to quickly rise to the position of temple master.

Meng Chuan nodded and then asked:

"Is what they mean by ascending to the divine realm the same fate as those humanoid monsters guarding the temple in the Demon Nest?"

Yang Huan explained;
"Yes, therefore most of these people are bad and stupid, having abandoned their martial arts will, without the 'Dao' of martial arts to illuminate their path."

Think about it, even if you could really live forever, what would be the point of becoming like that?

This was because the minds of this group had been completely bewitched by the Heavenly Demon, making it impossible for them to distinguish truth from falsehood.

Meng Chuan nodded to show that he understood; his will to fight was extremely firm.

He was also convinced that even if the ultimate darkness himself were to bewitch him, he would not be swayed in the slightest.

It's all just bragging.

If it were really that powerful, would the Demonic Path still be able to hide like a stray dog?
It's likely that the Great Chu has long since changed, becoming a bridgehead for the Heavenly Demon Realm to invade the human world.
