Chapter 355: Chapter 355
The blossom on the chest blooms, the liberation state slowly unfolds.
150%...160%... until it breaks through 200%!
Finally, the flesh flower mark on the chest fully blooms, emitting scorching white mist all over, bones explosively crackling like thunder.
The extreme limit is fixed at 220%.
Shadows cast further away, he looks downward at the villa next to him, slightly shorter than himself.
At this moment, Meng Chuan’s figure has already broken through the five-meter limit, approaching six meters...
Feeling the power inside, even more violent than when it was liberated at 200%, Meng Chuan’s lips curl into a smile.
The toughness enhancement brought by the refinement of Gold Essence can actually raise the limit threshold of the liberation state.
The original muscle and bone toughness couldn’t withstand 220% liberation.
Now, muscles and bones are like hundred-forged steel, standing firm under the radiation of violent energy.
The elasticity of muscle fibers makes every exertion smooth and effortless.
Only now does Meng Chuan realize that this is the greatest value of Gold Essence for himself—to construct a more solid container for the liberation state.
Xu Qingfeng, exercising in the morning across the door, happens to open the window, once again locking eyes with Meng Chuan on the second floor...
Looking up, Meng Chuan’s face above the neck remains resolute.
Below the neck, however, had turned into a terrifying demon-like body.
The iron fan in his hand clangs to the ground, startling him:
"Lao Meng... even bigger?"
After testing the current liberation limit, the swollen body rapidly shrinks back like a deflated balloon.
Ignoring Xu Qingfeng’s stupefied gaze, Meng Chuan greets him briefly before returning inside.
"Golden Essence enhances toughness, Fire Essence boosts power, Water Essence is for soul damage, Wood Essence for penetration.
Now, only the role of Earth Essence remains unconfirmed..."
It is most likely related to defense, so he uses credits to directly buy a Middle Rank Earth Binding Spirit Core from the United University exchange store.
With points, being capricious!
Once Lin Yue’s True Spirit fragment is fully digested, feeding this core to see if the effect is related to defense,
Meng Chuan estimates there’s little difference.
Time flows by, a week later.
Since that day Yanhua and Feng Yue finished asking, no one else has come looking to inquire about related matters, Meng Chuan finally settles down.
After today’s heart method training is completed, he rises to collect his aura.
The Tao Heart retreats to the depths of the Primordial Spirit, accompanied by the soft sound of a prompt in the mind:
[Tao Heart Demon Seed: First Layer (99%) → Second Layer (1%)]
Since starting the cultivation of the Demon Seed Heart Method, it’s been just two months now.
With the supply from Qi Armor Spirit Pill, his speed of improvement stands unrivaled.
A month, a qi point, terrifying indeed!
Other fist skills also provided some scattered Qi and Blood Values, Meng Chuan introspects Shanzhong, its qi-point wall has already been filled full with Qi and Blood, should now be six hundred points.
Recalling what Master Dong said, he heads to the office building.
Preparing to borrow testing instruments, measure the current Qi and Blood before dealing with the mutation for extra safety.
A set of Qi Jiguang Long Fist smoothly executes, machines pondering briefly, emitting beeping sounds.
[Esteemed "Infinite Fist", your Qi and Blood Value has reached: 1912.8. Drawing nearer to the Second Great Limit, keep up the good work! Do your best!]
"Changed to a cute girl’s voice again, which Martial Arts Family member is so idle..."
Meng Chuan suspects it’s most likely this fellow Chu Yanhu’s doing.
Since advancing, this kid heads to the Martial Arts Family’s Qi and Blood Testing Chamber three times a week...
Not thinking about these things, at this moment he confirms his second Qi-point Qi and Blood is already perfected.
When just breaking through into the Martial Arts Family, his Qi and Blood Value was 712.2.
The two Qi-points store a total of 1200 Qi and Blood points, plus the 0.6 newly gathered through recent heart method cultivation, just right.
His Taiyi Earth Posture is far quicker in cultivating Qi and Blood than the heart method.
Meridians are now extending toward the Fourth Great Qi-point, even adding another 0.6 and storing another 600 points is effortless.
"Amazing, Chief Meng, it’s been such a short time and your Qi and Blood are nearly two thousand."
Within the Martial Arts Family’s Grandmaster Class, the two Second Limit Martial Arts Families express admiration.
Meng Chuan, hearing this, recognizes the person’s identity, turns and responds with a compliment and smile:
"Brother Chen over-praises, you are close to the Third Limit already, cannot compare to you."
His name is [Red Fiery Ape · Chen Jing], even among the Second Great Limit is no ordinary figure.
On the Heaven Gang Ranking, his rank far exceeds that of Master Lu the gatekeeper.
Holding the 68th position, he’s more formidable than many teachers in the campus, part of Yong’an branch’s foundation.
After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Jing, seeing him entering, Meng Chuan turns to leave.
"Observing Brother Chen’s aura, he probably isn’t far from the Third Great Limit, becoming a Martial Arts Master..."
Meng Chuan heard from others that Chen Jing is a Martial Arts Family member of the Elephant Form Sect.
What he visualizes is precisely the [Ancient Ape God], an exclusive Beast King Map of the United University.
Carrying some unknown fire characteristic, once he breaks through to Martial Arts Master and comprehends "Power of Dharma,"
transforming into a fiery ape, even Dragon Form Inspector Long Jiu may avoid his sharpness.
This is the power of a top tier Martial Arts prodigy, upon advancing, always synonymous with invincibility at the same rank.
As he silently admires, little does he know, Chen Jing is also pondering him.
"This kid, hasn’t he broken through the First Great Limit for less than three months..."
He recalls his own experience, even just breaking through and gaining the ape god’s approval.
With the Ancient Ape God visualization map support, still taking over four months to fill both Qi-points with Qi and Blood.
Yet Meng Chuan’s advancement speed is indeed twice as fast as those days of his!
Chen Jing thinks long and hard, but also can’t make heads or tails.
"Isn’t Xingyi Sect known for deep perception, with slowest improvement speed..."
Could it be innate comprehension talent?
That would be even more terrifying...
Recalling the scene where Meng Chuan seized the Martial Extreme True Inheritance, Chen Jing couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.
In actual combat he is formidable, his comprehension remarkable.
Such a person will eventually leap and soar like a dragon, surpassing me... I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.
Shaking his head, Chen Jing took a deep breath.
Connected to the sensory testing instrument, his gaze reignited with fighting spirit.
Recalling the teachings of his master, the journey of Martial Arts values perseverance.
He said in a deep voice:
"Do not belittle oneself lightly, I, Chen Jing, am also a top genius.
The first Martial Arts Master of Yong’an branch’s Grandmaster Class, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, I must achieve it!"
At seven in the afternoon, the aroma of various snacks drifted through the streets and alleys in Yong’an City.
Meng Chuan received the news of his master’s return to the city and immediately descended the mountain.
On the way, he bought the iron plate squid that his master loved, hurrying to Huayun Prefecture.
Inside the private Martial Arts Chamber, Luo Guanyun was already waiting.
Meng Chuan poured tea for his master, and after he drank a big sip, he spoke:
"Master, I have found a way to solve the drawbacks of the Thunder Skill."
Luo Guanyun was puzzled at first as to why his disciple was so frantic to call him.
Such explosive news came up directly, his internal defense of sealing the Thunder Seed became a bit loose.
After a moment, Luo Guanyun’s expression gradually became serious and he directly asked:
"Did you practice it?"
He was referring to [Spirit Platform Demon Seed・Fear Chapter].
"I practiced it, it’s not a Demon Skill, but rather... a supplementary Chapter for the Thunder Skill."
Without waiting for his master to speak, Meng Chuan intended to fully disclose the matter of [Tao Heart Demon Seed] this time.
The two of them shared the honor and disgrace due to the "Thunder Seed’s hidden danger", there was nothing to hide.
Moreover, his master’s hidden physical ailment was a thorn in his side; relying on his own efforts, it was impossible to gather the remaining eight Chapters in a short time.
"Master, the original name of the Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill is actually [Tao Heart Demon Seed・Fundamental Chapter]"
Luo Guanyun’s expression stiffened, just as he wanted to reprimand his disciple for acting rashly, he suddenly heard the four words [Tao Heart Demon Seed].
"What do you mean..."
Meng Chuan had prepared in his phone, opening the article reviewing the Ten Great Divine Skills of Great Chu, handing it to Luo Guanyun.
Seeing his master’s expression becoming increasingly shocked, he slowly said:
"Master, Ancestor Luo Fang back then...
He dwelled deep in the Primordial Spirit, using Vast Power to better govern the Thunder Skill, which I speculate is why the ancestor named it [Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting].
And his true identity, I have already comprehended the four words Tao Heart Demon Seed.
The Thunder Seed is indeed the [Tao Heart], and [Demon Seed] specifically refers to the concentration of nine types of negative emotional powers.
The two integrate, ultimately governed by the Tao Heart, achieving the complete version of [Tao Heart Demon Seed] Divine Skill.
What’s recorded on the turtle shell is not Demon Skill, but indeed the nine Chapters of the Demon Seed.
It turned into a Human Demon Seed, merely used for the Evil Path by Demon Path practitioners."
Hearing Meng Chuan’s words, Luo Guanyun took a while to process it all.
He recalled that night in the shrine in Japan when he broke through to Martial Arts Grandmaster.
And when he first discovered in the police station that "Thunder Seed" could devour the "Demon Seed".
He has already realized a few things.
Seeing this, Meng Chuan slowly raised his right arm, and an invisible wave spread along his arm.
Luo Guanyun fixed his gaze on his arm, seeing the Qi, condensed like a purple-black mysterious evil, flowing along the veins.
That True Qi sometimes formed a dense spider web, covering the entire arm, sometimes coiling into a fierce Dragon Form around the elbow and wrist.
Such savagery, Luo Guanyun felt that no True Qi could surpass it.
"Master, this is the True Qi form after the Tao Heart integrated with [Fear Chapter]. Its main body is one shade lighter in black, yet has an additional wisp of purple swirling around.
Meanwhile, after the integration I practiced the mindset, the Thunder Seed absorbed noticeably less blood.
According to my speculation, once the remaining eight Chapters are gathered, integrating into the complete Tao Heart Demon Seed Divine Skill, then the issue of Qi Blood will be resolved, and then..."
After listening to his disciple’s detailed explanation, Luo Guanyun stared at the purple-black intertwined Qi on his arm, an indescribable mix of complex emotions surging within.
Luo Guanyun was both moved and gratified, not knowing what to say for a moment.
As a master, Meng Chuan’s courage and comprehension truly earned his respect.
In the silence, Meng Chuan extended his arm to his master, silently operating the mindset internally.
Luo Guanyun tremblingly pinched a strand of True Gang, circulating it a round in the body and it feedback to his own.
When he sensed that the Thunder Seed’s blood absorption truly weakened, a glow of hope burst forth in his eyes. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovєlFіre.net
Years of chronic illness, a turning point, had truly appeared...
He took a deep breath, placing his broad palm heavily on Meng Chuan’s shoulder, his voice hoarse yet firm:
"Good boy... if you act recklessly again, I... I... hahahahaha."
Luo Guanyun’s eyes turned slightly red, then he laughed heartily.
His knuckles turned white from pressure, revealing suppressed quivering.
This was the sternest rebuke a master could give, yet also the deepest protective affection.
After his master regained his usual composure, Meng Chuan and he formulated the next step plan.
Originally intending to go to Japan with his master, but Luo Guanyun strongly demanded that he stay in Great Chu to continue practicing martial arts, utilizing spare time to collect information related to [Tao Heart Demon Seed] only.
"I’ll go to Japan just for preliminary secret investigation, trying to figure out all [Spirit Platform Demon Seed] holders.
If the investigation is difficult, there’s no rush, having waited decades, no harm in a little more time.
According to what you said, there are still eight Chapters in total, it does not rule out the possibility of any Chapter still being obscured, which would require you to investigate by utilizing the platform of United University and vast seas.
Moreover, this matter must be kept confidential, involving complete divine skill secrets, inevitably attracting unscrupulous individuals.
While the master is far away in Japan and unable to protect you, you must be more cautious."
Meng Chuan nodded, acknowledging that what his master said made sense.
Initially, he thought to control the Tao Heart through the physique, taking a balanced path.
