Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Now, through the panel, he found the "most correct" solution route.

He should continue down this path, since it has never let him down before.

However, the earlier idea of bodily control still cannot be released.

Under the influence of his environment, Meng Chuan’s personality has gradually become shrewd, deeply understanding that preparations on multiple fronts are necessary for the Martial Arts path.

Though the Tao Heart Seed Demon is the most correct route, the time required to gather the remaining eight Chapters is unknown.

There may be mishaps along the journey, which is why the bodily control route serves as an excellent backup plan.

After all, this method is the most "sinister" Martial Arts Meng Chuan has seen up to now.

He doesn’t rule out the possibility of the Tao Heart losing control, at which point he would forcibly suppress it with body control, creating a double insurance.

The two won’t conflict and won’t take up extra time for Meng Chuan; it’s just a choice in Hard Skills.

The benefits of this route have already filled Meng Chuan abundantly in the [Meat Flower].

Its increase in his own combat power is simply extraordinarily abnormal.

Things like spitting fire or water are mere tricks.

Nothing is as practical as a fist as large as a pot lid post-transformation.

With the plan set, Meng Chuan heard Luo Guanyun’s voice:

"If the battle lines extend, I will spend about half my time each year on Japan.

At that time, you’ll be the acting master of the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.

Specific matters will be handled by Old Liu, just let him complete the monthly financial report review and send it to you for signing."

This minor task, of course, Meng Chuan must alleviate his master’s worries.

Time passed slowly; Luo Guanyun hasn’t guided his disciple in martial arts for a long time.

The master and disciple took the opportunity to practice joyfully today, until night, nearly until dawn when they stopped.

Meng Chuan took his leave:

"Master, I’ll head back now."

Luo Guanyun made a hand gesture, and the tortoiseshell flew from its hidden place onto his palm.

"Keep it safe, don’t bring it to the United University, just hide it at home."

Meng Chuan understood that his master would depart in a few days; it was more appropriate for him to keep it.

He reached out, received it, and put it into his pocket, twisting the Martial Arts Chamber’s door, just in time to face his master eye to eye.

"Chuan, your focus should remain on Martial Arts, the matter of the Primordial Spirit... Tao Heart Seed Demon, leave the major part to your master."

"I understand, rest assured, master." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fıre·net

"Good, go back and continue working hard!"

Meng Chuan nodded heavily.

Meanwhile, in the underground world of the outskirts of Yong’an City, Li Xiao was busy setting up a new base for Yong’an City.

When "Lin Yue" arrived here, he deliberately restrained the demonic qi surrounding him, disguising his human skin to appear pale and weak.

Seeing his appearance, the guards at the door sneered:

"Such trash is also worthy of entering the hall?"

"Lin Yue" suddenly released trembling fingertips that instantly pierced the opponent’s throat.

The skillful display of limited strength let the splattering blood just splash three inches before the tip of Li Xiao’s shoe.

"Lord Li, the subordinate is willing to cultivate new blood for the lord."

"Lin Yue" knelt on one knee, using the language of humans...

This is called... enduring hardship for a greater cause.

He long understood the rules of the Demon Summoning Hall, and for someone like Li Xiao, who was a favored one before the [Mountain Whisper], what they most desire are excellent tools that can help them digest [emotional nutrients].

"Yanhua’s talents..."

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Xiao’s eyes as he laughed and lifted "Lin Yue" up:

"Good! From today, you are the deputy high priest of the Yong’an branch!"

Ordinarily, the limited strength is not enough to secure the position of second-in-command at the branch.

But Lin Yue is a "high-achiever"...

He flicked his fingertips to release a thread of blood-colored demonic qi, which entered "Lin Yue’s" forehead.

However, he didn’t notice that the mycelium inside his opponent’s body discreetly devoured the imprint.

In the night after Li Xiao’s departure, in the underground cellar.

"Lin Yue" cackled as he vivaciously opened the chest cavity of the new sacrificial martial artist.

While the mycelium greedily devoured nutrients, he deliberately let a few strands of nutrients drift toward the altar dedicated to [Mountain Whisper].

This was a meticulously designed scheme, with seventy percent of nutrients routinely surrendered, and thirty percent secretly fed back through the underground fungal network.

These people, publicly providing nutrients for [Mountain Whisper], covertly... many of them became his...

Underground wriggling mycelium was subtly transforming the entire Demon Summoning Hall into "Lin Yue’s" external organs.

Ever since escaping the hand of Mountain Whisper, he first sensed the sweetness of humanity.

The next morning, at Lishan Mountain.

Indoors, Meng Chuan opened his eyes, his Qi mechanism already adjusted to its peak.

"It’s time to start the transformation..."

Qi Blood in the acupoint was abundant, along with the guarantee of the Qi Blood detector, Meng Chuan began to break through the Two Acupoints in the Dantian.

Sitting cross-legged, Qi Blood in the chest acupoint wrapped around slowly like a stream.

He remembered the teachings of Master Dong, using Wood Element True Qi as a guide, vibrant like spring vines entangling, smoothing the impetuous Qi Blood into gentle obedience.

The Martial Arts will transformed into an old farmer filtering grains, removing all impurities, allowing only pure blood to circulate within the walls of the acupoint.

As time passed, the chest acupoint began to emit a soft glow.

Sweat discreetly appeared atop his head, but the pressure of transformation was evidently much less than when he first broke through the Baihui Acupoint.

Suddenly, a light "crack" sounded from deep within the acupoint, as if a seed sprouted from the earth.

In introspection, another "star" was lit in the center of his chest from within, the entire metamorphosis process was smooth and unimpeded.

Meng Chuan murmured to himself:

"This is the pivot of Qi Blood, the Feng Shui treasure acupoint of Hard Skills..."

He stood up, and with a single thought, the mighty Qi Blood gathered in his right arm.

His Heart Spirit then shifted, and the Qi Blood swiftly transferred to his left arm, and then covered his entire body.

In secret, Meng Chuan pondered:

"This feeling... it’s like I’ve mastered the main switch of Qi Blood."

If his body were a large steel mill.

The main switch of the "Qi Blood section" would be the Chest Acupoint.

Driven by Martial Arts will, this steel mill’s "central control cabinet" directs and integrates the flow of Qi Blood throughout the body.

Meng Chuan tried once or twice more, feeling the precise control of Qi Blood by the Chest Acupoint, a sense of enlightenment surged in his heart.

It’s like giving a previously scattered army the highest commander, every bit of Qi Blood can be deployed at the most opportune moment on the battlefield.

He tried concentrating Qi Blood at his fingertips, and a crimson luminescence shimmered beneath his skin, a light graze etched a deep groove on the alloy fist post.

Then he infused Qi Blood into his legs, with one swift move he easily crossed a distance of tens of meters.

The control power brought by the mutation of the Chest Acupoint, although it couldn’t cause a qualitative leap in power, this micro-level control was even harder to achieve.

From then on, he was no longer a Martial Arts brute with scattered Qi Blood.

But rather, a Martial Arts Family member capable of finely controlling every ounce of strength.

Upon finishing his introspection, Meng Chuan left the dormitory villa and headed towards Dong Yue.

Regarding the other major function of the Chest Acupoint, self-regulation of Qi, he was yet to understand.

Dong Yue’s dormitory.

Dong Shi handed him a can of beer and casually asked:

"Isn’t it still early? Anything planned for the afternoon?"

Dong Yue thought Meng Chuan had come to him for guidance.

"Dong Shi, the Chest Acupoint has mutated, and I’d like to consult on how to ’self-regulate’ Qi."

Regulating Qi is about channeling Qi Blood.

He could already control Qi Blood, but what does channeling mean?

Meng Chuan voiced his confusion.

Dong Yue listened and almost spit out a mouthful of beer.

Just told Meng Chuan that the mutation of the Chest Acupoint needs caution, no recklessness.

And now, just days later, he’s already made a breakthrough?

He concentrated his senses, and around Meng Chuan’s body, it was as if an invisible large hand had gathered, no longer emanating a menacing aura.

On the surface, he appeared like an ordinary person not yet stepping into Martial Arts.

Of course... ignore his explosive, terrifying muscles.

Dong Yue took a deep breath, lamenting:

"Counting on fingers, you haven’t been cultivating that long.

I really don’t know what core method you and Old Luo practice that’s so extraordinary."

He progressed so rapidly, "Tao Heart Seed Magic" contributed just a bit.

And it was due to possessing various characteristics related to the physique; he circulated more cycles when practicing heart techniques than others.

This is the formidable aspect of abundant ’Essence’, among the body’s three treasures.

Plus, without being tormented repeatedly by the Earth Posture, he had more time to practice fist skills, which replenished quite a lot of Qi Blood.

Adding it all up, it has resulted in such rapid progress.

Just counting the time for the second development after breaking through as a Martial Arts Family member.

Less than three months in, the first major limit is one-third complete.

"There’s still over five months this year, will you break through the second limit within this year..."

Meng Chuan thought, if the supply of Qi Armor Spirit Pills continued, it really could happen...

Dong Yue shook his head; it’s not like he hasn’t seen other Martial Arts geniuses.

But seeing one like Meng Chuan, who practices faster and faster after breaking through human limits, was truly a first.

"Alright, kid, you’re a freak.

As for Qi regulation, we’ll discuss it while guiding you, I have class later."

"Okay, thank you Dong Shi!"

Meng Chuan listened intently with bared chest, Dong Yue’s voice slowly came:

"Ah... remember. Success in the Chest Acupoint mutation signifies the formation of the Qi Blood pivot, but not that you’ve mastered this acupoint yet.

Key points of self-regulating Qi lie in ’guiding Qi with intent, using acupoint as the furnace’.

Specific operation, with Martial Arts will as guide, refine Qi Blood into threads.

Like now, as I guide you, travel through the meridians to every Hard Skills key acupoint, such as shoulder well, life gate, and other crucial nodes.

When Qi Blood can precisely cover acupoints, and combine it with horizontal practice breathing methods, like the current ’Tiger Roar Lunge and Axle’ inhale, exhale, and shock triad.

Inhaling accumulates Qi Blood at the Chest Acupoint, exhaling vibrates acupoint, allowing Qi Blood to rush over physical textures like tides.

Once a network of Qi Blood circulation is formed, external strikes can be transformed into nutrients. Distribute them through the Chest Acupoint, ultimately achieving an adaptive self-supporting system with external percussion and internal nourishment.

And by then, you can start practicing True Skill Level horizontal training.

I have a non-printed book horizontal practice ’Treasure Appearance Golden Venerable Skill’, a Buddhist Sect Intermediate True Skill.

I’m also practicing it myself, and can guide you by then."

Its breathing law-related content equally contains ’Martial Arts True Charm’, challenging the printed edition.

Meng Chuan hadn’t considered follow-up True Skill. One bite at a time.

Regarding ’Qi regulation’, the concept was grasped.

But listening, it sounded complex, he originally thought he could achieve it post-mutation.

Indeed, every major leap in Martial Arts is far from simple.

"Don’t rush, half an hour a day, in a maximum of ten days to half a month, it’s all settled."

"Okay, thank you Dong Shi."

"Alright, that’s two thanks already, next time bring me some good beer."
