Chapter 358: Chapter 358

True Qi leaving the body is not just a display of power, it’s also a feature signifying that a core technique has reached a certain level.

From a short detachment to a prolonged [Qi Permeates the Entire Body], it is one of the external signs of growth for a Martial Arts Family.

With great anticipation, Meng Chuan imagined himself when he reached that level.

After some insight, Meng Chuan filled the final boiling blood trait into the advanced [Five Qi Chaoyuan].

The roulette spun, and proficiency in the Five Elements Qiankun method increased by 5%.

"The effect of lower-tier traits has been halved.

In other words, purely using lower-tier traits doubles the difficulty, requiring twenty to advance..."

Meng Chuan calculated that, with his Five Elements comprehension having improved again,

he could finish within at most half a year, which was not difficult.

After digesting it all, he turned to the Ten Thousand Volume Martial Arts Pavilion.

Returning the few already Limit Breaking fire attribute fist skills, and in one go, took back nineteen books.

Most were fire attribute, with a few from the other Four Element fists.

Originally, with the Grandmaster Class permissions, he could at most borrow five books each time.

But after Meng Chuan claimed the [Martial Extreme True Inheritance] and crowned himself as the chief of United University, many rules faded away imperceptibly.

The administrator of the Hidden Martial Pavilion also hinted that as long as Meng Chuan needed it, and even if he emptied it, it was fine...

Of course, except for the divine skills on the top floor because they were merely for showing off foundation purposes.

If one wanted to study these divine skills, a large amount of credits was needed to find powerful individuals within the University for guidance.

However, Meng Chuan, as the Martial Extreme True Inheritance, could also enjoy the resource support provided by the school based on this identity.

The school would fund and recommend corresponding strong individuals within to teach him the cultivation techniques.

After all, the Martial Extreme True Inheritance represents the future of United University.

The school would naturally go all out to train him and help him go further on the path of Martial Arts.

With Mind Cultivation practice concluded, it came to the lunch hour.

Meng Chuan saved the borrowed cultivation techniques and went to the canteen to eat with two friends.

He and Xu Qingfeng were having school-provided nutritional meals, while only Meng Jiaolong was happily eating the spicy noodles she cooked.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan couldn’t help but remind:

"Jiaolong, you should eat less of this instant food in the future, it’s full of over a hundred trace elements that humans don’t need."

Meng Jiaolong, hearing Meng Chuan’s concern, replied with a grin:

"Got it, but I love eating it."

Xu Qingfeng was eating heartily, his mouth full and muffled as he spoke:

"Don’t worry, Lao Meng, eating occasionally won’t kill her."

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan saw the Tiger Brothers carrying trays from afar and beckoned them to sit together.

"Xiaohu, Alon, sit down and eat."

"Coming, today’s beef is good, Brother Meng, have some more later."

After they sat down, Meng Jiaolong and Xu Qingfeng immediately sensed an invisible gap.

Listening to the three Martial Arts Family members talking enthusiastically, they found themselves unable to join the conversation.

This made Meng Jiaolong somewhat discouraged, and the noodles in her bowl lost their flavor.

"Xiaoxu, we need to work harder..."

Meng Jiaolong said in a low voice.

"Huh? I’m almost Qi Blood Perfection, and I’m choosing a core method to feel Qi lately."

Meng Jiaolong was at a loss.

At this moment, Meng Chuan was talking to the Tiger Brothers about the demon nest summoning at the end of the year.

Principal Sui had appointed him as the captain, and this was already announced on the mission board of United University.

[Demon Nest Summoning Mission]

[Summoning Range: 87th to 88th cohort, all newly-advanced Martial Arts Family members of Northern United University.]

[Mission Objective: First-level demon nest outside Qilu Dengzhou City, cooperate with the military to sweep and eliminate the Celestial Demon inside, and convert it into a resource area.]

[Mission Time: The first Monday of December, summoned Martial Arts Family members gather punctually at the main Fengtian campus.]

[Mission Team: "Profound Slaughter Mountain Lord · Shang Ruyi" as the instructor, 87th cohort chief "Candle Carrying Shadow · She Yu", and 88th cohort chief "Infinite Fist · Meng Chuan" as the main and deputy captains of this summoning mission.]

[Special Requirement (as instructed by Principal Sui): Those who meet the summoning range, barring irresistible circumstances such as health issues or being at a breaking point in realm breakthrough, should not refuse this summoning.]

Chu Yanhu looked at the task and said with some annoyance:

"Captain Meng, you must take care of me..."

He had just advanced and was somewhat apprehensive about the demon nest.

"Deputy Captain, the main captain is She Yu."

Meng Chuan emphasized.

She Yu was the Martial Extreme True Inheritance of the previous cohort.

During the time when Meng Chuan was competing with Motohiko, she was at a critical point in her progression and did not show up.

Now, she had already broken through the second major limit and was considerably stronger than him.

Chu Yanlong also said:

"She Yu is very strong, with her around, this mission is safer for us.

Of course, Brother Meng, I don’t mean you’re not up to the task... you’re not inferior to her when you transform, but your endurance is just a bit lacking..."

Hearing this, Xu Qingfeng interjected:

"I heard that She Yu from the main campus is not only powerful but is also a great beauty with long legs.

Lao Meng, you know, and more importantly, she loves wearing yoga pants, the tight kind, purple ones!"

As a good brother, Xu Qingfeng felt Meng Chuan...

had a penchant for this...

Because during previous fist practice sessions at True Dragon Pavilion, Chen Jingyi, Luo Meng’s apprentice, often sought out Meng Chuan for sparring.

When she wasn’t wearing yoga pants, Lao Meng only liked practicing stances and disliked sparring.

When she wore yoga pants, Lao Meng...

"...Ahem, shut your mouth..."

Meng Chuan was speechless. How could this guy think of him that way? Was he such a person?

After they ate and drank their fill, two Martial Artists returned to attend a class with their fist skills teacher.

Meng Chuan and the others continued sitting and chatting idly.

"Brother Meng, have you thought about doing some school tasks recently to earn more credits with an 85% discount?"

"I have, just haven’t found anything suitable."

Meng Chuan’s mind was always preoccupied with the progress of integrating [Fear] into his Tao Heart.

The efficiency of natural integration is indeed slow.

Unfortunately, there has been no movement on the police station’s end, with no actions taken for a long time.

The tasks related to Demon Path martial artists, released by United University, mostly target martial artists of the school’s level.

As a member of the Martial Arts Family, Meng Chuan cannot take on these low-level tasks.

This is precisely the restriction set by United University to prevent point farming.

Moreover, his academic credits are running out and he does need to replenish them quickly.

With less than five months left until December, if there’s sufficient Qi Armor Spirit Pills.

Even if he cannot reach the Second Major Limit, Meng Chuan is confident that he can achieve the Six Orifices Transformation before then.

At the end of the year, leading a team, all teammates being from martial arts backgrounds, he needs to establish hard strength in martial arts realms to command respect.

He also promised Principal Sui to lead the school to stand out from the Four-sided Alliance University, so his strength also needs enhancement.

Apart from Acupoint Mutation and Hard Skills improvement, it would be ideal if he could unlock the first supreme martial arts move of Tao Heart Planting Demon, for a more secure advantage.

Thinking of this, he casually said:

"A Long, Xiaohu, if there’s a suitable task, call me to join you recently.

As long as there are no Second Limit or Upper Rank Celestial Demons involved, I am confident."

Chu Yanlong had this intention, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said:

"No problem, with Brother Meng here, nothing is certain to go wrong.

You focus on your cultivation, I’ll spend the money to have someone keep an eye on the task system, and call you if there are suitable tasks."

Indeed, these two brothers, coming from a prestigious family, are quite wealthy...

Looking down at his watch, Meng Chuan was preparing to follow Master Dong for practicing [Qi Regulation].

Before parting, he added:

"It’s best if it’s related to Demon Path martial artists, as I have always been ruthless towards evil."

"...Understood, Brother Meng, rest assured, I’m the same kind of person."

The three exchanged smiles and bid farewell.

Demon Path martial artists are "rich in resources," besides the mission rewards, they have quite a lot of benefits on them as well.

Not to mention the hidden demon skills on them, turning them in would yield substantial rewards.

Some old demons can be incredibly wealthy, after all, they have numerous underlings to provide for them, benefiting tremendously.

Clearly, these two brothers misunderstood Meng Chuan’s intention; Meng Chuan mainly wants to collect [Fear Aura], nothing more...

"A bit more practice, and probably another week will be enough."

Leaving Master Dong’s home, Meng Chuan returned to his dormitory villa.

He felt he was not far from "smoothing things out," and it wouldn’t take too long.

After all, the whole process wouldn’t repeat mistakes like others, and the value of achieving once remains on the rise.

Sinking his mind, sitting on the Team Divine Mat, gently tapping the flaming red stream in his sea of consciousness.

In a single thought, Meng Chuan once again entered the world of imagery.

Standing on the reef, looking down, his hands were still empty.

Without further thought, he took a deep breath letting the killing thrusts pass by his ears.

He had already fallen into the sea twenty-nine times, and if he fails thirty times, it shouldn’t happen.

This time, determined to "counter-slay" Qi Shuai!

Meng Chuan twisted his left foot, the Blade Devour stuck three inches before his toe, emitting a sharp "hissing" sound.

Immediately after, continuous explosive sounds came from the air, like a hundred birds flying towards a phoenix.

Under this substantial pressure, Meng Chuan relied on the long fist routine of Qi Jiguang to continuously block.

Dodging and weaving on this mere square foot of reef, he sought opportunities to attempt a counterattack.

Under great pressure, his long-silent [Eight Steps to Catching a Cicada] Body Technique also showed progress.

Breaking the limit is now within reach.

Meng Chuan silently counted how many moves he had evaded; although he had fallen many times, he was not afraid at all, his mind was steadfast.

Finally, when the three-hundredth move approached.

With Qi Shuai reining in his hand and retracting his spear, Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up, ready to attempt a counterattack!

At this moment, Qi Shuai’s spear stance changed dramatically!

The Blade Devour’s piercing and sweeping suddenly retracted, the spear body trembled, and numerous eerie afterimages emerged.

Each afterimage carried spiral Qi Strength, completely sealing Meng Chuan’s surrounding space.

Seawater around the reef was stirred into a three-zhang whirlpool by the spear wind.

Encircled, it appeared as if a dragon was strangling!

Instead of being frightened, Meng Chuan was delighted.

This was the Imagery World, under his enduring three hundred moves, this was a new change driven by his own initiative.

His pupils flashed with a sharp, captivating gaze, fixating on the nine spear shadows.

In this split-second, he caught the one genuine form...

An eerie smile tugged at the corner of Meng Chuan’s mouth; it was a slash from below upward!

Even before the spear tip arrived, the sharp edge had already torn through his shirt at the chest.

At the critical moment, the essence of "Be Still and Act" flashed in Meng Chuan’s mind. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Nove1Fire.net

He extended his arms to hold the heavens and earth, left palm horizontally pushing the spear shaft to deflect, right fist flowing backward along the spear body, friction eliciting dazzling sparks.

This move, "Reverse Wave Crushing the Boat," was the subtle use of the long fist he grasped after thirty times of falling into the water.

In this fist stance, it seemingly carried the profound intention of the reef withstanding the weathered sea waves over years and years.

In the piercing sound of metal clashing, Qi Shuai’s Blade Devour was slightly lifted for the first time.

Seizing the opportunity to close in, only to see the opponent’s spear’s tail sweeping across like a poisonous dragon.

Meng Chuan knew, this was precisely one of the thirty-two Long Fist’s counterattacking moves, Qi Shuai handled the long spear with such precision as if using fists and legs.

"So that’s it... The spear is an extension of fists and kicks, this is how you use it!"

When the spear shaft was about to reach his waist, enlightenment filled Meng Chuan’s mind, as if using punches in place of a spear, releasing the same spinning force.

His arms crossed to withstand, the violent Power thrust him to the edge of the reef, his heels half an inch in the air.

But this time—he ultimately did not fall!

He endured three hundred moves!
