In this era, venerating martial arts strength is human instinct.
Looking at the figure exuding unparalleled dominance on stage, many girls had stars in their eyes.
Due to the fight just now, Meng Chuan's clothes were torn, so he draped himself with the new clothes Zong Ping handed over and then jumped off the stage.
Ren Ping stepped forward and invited:
"Come, Meng Chuan, let's go eat."
Zong Ping wanted to say something, but his left eye was faintly bruised from being hit by Meng Jiaolong, reminding him to keep quiet.
After turning the words over in his mouth, he finally said:
"Let's go... Brother Chuan, let's see how our cafeteria is."
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, the fight indeed was exhilarating, and he was hungry now.
After the three left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure Meng Chuan exuded was just too strong.
"How did this guy train? He's too strong."
Among martial artists, especially those like Meng Chuan who possess hard skills, once they start fighting, the scenes can be quite brutal.
Some veteran students who heard the description from others also felt a bit apprehensive.
Secretly thinking:
"Truly, under great fame, there are no empty talents. Although I've been an eight-gate for over a year, I wouldn't want to face someone as fierce as this who practices both internal and external skills."
Someone sighed:
"Xu Qingfeng's loss was not undeserved. This guy is just too unrestrained. Facing this killer, it was indeed hard to resist."
Inside the dormitory building.
Xu Qingfeng was still standing in a stance and suddenly sneezed.
"Who's cursing me again?"
...
At night.
In the infirmary of the United University Preparatory High School.
An Jing, serving as the counselor for classes one and two, rushed to the school infirmary as soon as she heard about the incident.
From the afternoon until now, Lin Yue was finally out of danger.
She looked at Lin Yue lying motionless and comatose on the bed, feeling helpless.
"Is this Meng Chuan specifically clashing with me? Every time, I'm left to clean up the mess."
Because Meng Chuan was only free to roam on campus and not staying in the dorms for school, he wasn't under her supervision.
Principal Yang also said that in case of incidents, she needed to treat everyone equally and not be biased toward any side.
An Jing also communicated with several students who were on the scene at the time.
This matter, when put plainly, was Lin Yue's own doing, it's just that Meng Chuan was too heavy-handed.
Thinking of this, she recalled that night under the moonlight when he turned Zhao Jian into a heap of mud and looked at her with a calm expression.
And inadvertently a phrase came to her mind:
"A person with raging thunder in their chest but a tranquil lake on their face can be considered a general."
No, she shook her head.
"This is not a general, it's clearly a human killing star!"
Lin Yue's condition now, with over 60% of his bones fractured, isn't any less than Zhao Jian's miserable state that night.
The doctor said, although he has solid eight-gate foundations, it'll take at least half a month before he can get out of bed, and half a year before considering practicing martial arts again.
"Sigh, when Lin Yue wakes up it's still going to be troublesome, plus there's the Lin family behind him..."
Thinking of this, An Jing's head started to hurt again.
Though Lin Yue's talents were only above average, he possessed the Wugen Sheng trait, making him highly valued by the Lin family.
Even though he doesn't have the talent to pass down through generations, the Lin family is prosperous enough not to worry about this, they only need Lin Yue to grow up to protect the family.
Now that Lin Yue has been beaten nearly to death, who knows what kind of commotion the Lin family will make.
The Lin family is considered a sizable family in the city, with someone as a four-limits grandmaster in the family, serving in Yong'an City Defense and being one of the brains.
Seeing that Lin Yue's heart rate had stabilized, An Jing got up to rest in the staff dormitory building.
"Forget it, I'll leave these problems for the principal to worry about. I'm just a small counselor, it's none of my business..."
...
Three days later, at night.
In Luo Guanyun's Martial Arts Chamber.
"Solid, not bad! It's perfection!"
Luo Guanyun carefully sensed Meng Chuan's fist skill and was in a great mood.
As early as the afternoon, Meng Chuan had practiced the Luo's Eight Extremes to perfection.
After calming the massive increase in Qi and blood within him, he came to Master Luo's home to share the good news.
Because Master Luo had said before, once the Luo's Eight Extremes is perfected, one can learn that top-tier martial art.
Having witnessed the power of Lin Yue's Bone-Crushing Hand, he was filled with anticipation for the Five Elements Qiankun Fist.
Luo Guanyun said:
"Seeing you so eager, master knows what you're thinking."
Meng Chuan scratched his head embarrassedly, listening as Luo Guanyun continued:
"Today, besides the ones you're more familiar with, fire and wood attributes, get familiar with the other three of the Xingyi Five Elements Fist.
Master has to prepare some things for your entry into the school this afternoon, come to find me after you've eaten your fill at noon tomorrow,
this fist technique is hard to master, be ready to pull all-nighters."
Meng Chuan nodded, with the current Qi and blood level in his body, combined with what he's learned, he's ready to try learning a top-tier fist skill.
Luo Guanyun also said:
"About that Lin Yue incident at the United University Preparatory High School, you don't need to worry.
Today someone from the Lin family claiming to be a spokesperson came to find me, and upon seeing that it was me, they left in a hurry.
If he's inferior in skill, he has to accept the loss!
Principal Yang vouched for me, during my time in Japan, you can normally go to United University to practice fists.
With Venerable Yang and Long Jiu there, the Lin family wouldn't dare act rashly.
Before I leave, I will also go to the Lin family and warn them not to think they're unstoppable just because they have an old grandmaster!"
Master Luo is still so straightforward, Meng Chuan said helplessly:
"It's okay, Master Luo, they didn't say anything..."
Ever since he violently beat Lin Yue, Meng Chuan then realized the trait Lin Yue possessed that he must avoid.
——[Wugen Sheng].
In his heart, he silently mourned for him for a moment...
Luo Guanyun instructed:
"After you officially enter the school tomorrow, I will leave for Japan.
Make sure to protect yourself, if there's anyone causing trouble, regardless of who they are, just beat them up.
I'm not gone for good, with your master supporting you, rest assured."
Meng Chuan nodded, he wouldn't let himself be treated unfairly either.
"Understood, Master Luo."
Meng Chuan wasn't too worried about this matter, and he himself had the Silver Lion medal, having shed blood and sweat for the nation.
Even if the Lin family had a Grandmaster, how dare they clash with the national machinery?
Finally, Luo Guanyun reminded:
"But it's best to avoid these psychologically twisted martial artists whenever possible.
These people often exhibit extreme behavior for various reasons.
They're like a stubborn adhesive bandage, hard to get rid of once they cling to you."
"Got it."
Lin Yue is a typical example, but it doesn't matter.
When his opponent's body is fully recovered, if he dares to come looking for trouble, his Iron Fist will once again teach him a lesson.
Others might pamper him, but Meng Chuan won't; whether they have roots or not, he'll smash them all!
Luo Guanyun looked up at the electronic clock on the wall, flexing his wrist.
"There's still some time left, come, let me help you consolidate your Metal Palm Strike once more, since you're interested in metal fist skills."
Two hours of sweating it out, until the Palm Strike indicated a proficiency level-up, then they stopped.
[Palm Strike: Proficient (78%) → Adept (1%), awaiting Limit Breaking]
"Although the Palm Strike is only third-rate, it is indeed the most lethal of the Five Elements Fist skills.
Upon reaching adept level, I felt my skills have become much sharper."
Techniques like Cannon Fist or Luo's Bajiquan, which are Fire Attribute fist skills, specialize in explosive and destructive force, using instantaneous power to suppress enemies.
Metal fist skills are different; they emphasize hands as the sharpest weapons.
With fists and kicks as sharp as blades, it's a path Meng Chuan must deeply cultivate in his close combat stream.
At this moment, Master's wife Ren Ping brought over some fruits, suggesting they take a break.
"It's getting late, Xiaomeng should rest early, isn't he learning new fist skills tomorrow?"
This master and disciple duo always forget the time when practicing fists.
It's already one in the morning, yet they're still so energetic.
Luo Guanyun took a large bite of cantaloupe and nodded in agreement.
"Chuan, you should go home and rest early. Remember to be on time tomorrow!"
Luo Guanyun usually respects his wife a lot, except for matters related to their daughter, their relationship hasn't faded over time, and their conjugal life is harmonious...
Meng Chuan nodded, ate a couple of bites of fruit, and then bid farewell to the two before leaving.
His home was right across the door; if it weren't for fearing of disturbing his uncle and aunt, he'd just open the window on the second floor and jump back using the Cloud-Ascending Ladder.
Thinking of this, he checked his panel, and the Cloud-Ascending Ladder was also nearing its limit...
[Cloud-Ascending Ladder: Perfection (52%), awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Cloud Trace (Basic)]
"I wonder if the Cloud Trace trait is the same thing as the Qi sense as Master Luo mentioned...
Never mind, I'll know once I break the limit."
After Meng Chuan left, Ren Ping asked about Luo Guanyun's trip to Japan.
Luo Guanyun said solemnly:
"This trip might provide a chance to solve the Thunder Law's drawbacks.
Even if it doesn't, feeding the Thunder Seed can greatly extend its manifestation time, so I must go."
Ren Ping nodded, being from a Martial Arts family, she naturally wasn't the type to act like a little girl.
This matter concerns her husband's life and death, she supports Luo Guanyun going.
"Do you want me to go with you..."
Luo Guanyun interrupted:
"No need, I'll be more at ease alone, Japanese martial arts are generally not strong, there won't be any problems.
Besides, I'm going to detoxify them, not to cause trouble, they should welcome me, hahaha."
Seeing her husband's determination, Ren Ping didn't say more.
"Let's go to bed, who knows how long you'll be gone this time."
Luo Guanyun scooped his wife up and walked towards the bedroom.
"Let's cherish tonight well..."
...
Early the next morning, Meng Chuan, holding back his excitement, went to school as usual for practice.
The Huayun Prefecture's special vehicle was waiting outside the school, to take Meng Chuan to the United University Preparatory High School for training once he finished practice.
This was a VIP service Meng Chuan subscribed to at the property, costing ten thousand yuan per month.
To him now, it was a small expense.
Earning money is to enjoy life, and the time saved on commuting can be better spent practicing.
However, today he doesn't need to go to the United University Preparatory High School, he plans to go back at noon to learn new fist skills from Master Luo.
Ping'an Middle School Martial Arts Dojo.
Meng Chuan noticed that the Qi and Blood Tester was already installed, but no one had used it yet.
Principal Zong saw Meng Chuan and brought him to the testing machine.
"This is something you earned back, you have to be the first to use it."
Meng Chuan helplessly said:
"Uncle, it's not necessary."
Principal Zong persisted, and seeing that students had already started to line up behind him, Meng Chuan had no choice but to quickly get tested, to make way for the students behind.
After finishing a set of perfect-level Luo's Bajiquan, Meng Chuan's Qi and Blood were about to break into three digits.
[Qi and Blood Value: 89.9, entered the seventh level]
