Chapter 375: Chapter 375
Inside, Meng Chuan stood firm in front of the Tathagata statue, with his feet on the Team Divine Mat, beginning his training.
Today’s horizontal training session hasn’t been undertaken yet, so he seized the time.
Two hours passed, and the cultivation finally ended.
He rubbed his aching waist, pondering:
"Before December, Limit Breaking of Doma Iron Body and mastery of the Treasured Gold Honor should be no problem.
Combined with the essence of earth to nourish my muscles and bones, my battle power... no, my lower limit can still be raised significantly, making the Demon Nest recruitment more secure."
This was his first time heading to the Demon Nest, so he needed to be fully prepared.
But leading the Northern United University to win against the Four-sided Alliance University, the key point was still the Qi Blood.
As long as martial arts cultivation can reach the Six Orifices Transformation realm.
Even in a non-liberated state, with full combat traits, Meng Chuan has the confidence to withstand an Upper Rank Celestial Demon.
Of course, not counting the one at Chen Cang, which was almost at the Upper Rank peak...
The enhancement of Qi Blood will also boost his sustained combat capability.
Descending into the Demon Nest is like going to the battlefield, not like a martial arts competition where you can rest after winning one.
Facing a dense swarm of Celestial Demons, it’s a contact battle, an encounter battle.
This aspect greatly tests physical strength and endurance.
If the quantity of Qi Blood is insufficient to support prolonged body eruptions, one has to rest after fighting for a while.
Most of the time within the Demon Nest, one can only be a "spectator."
Meanwhile, his ultimate liberation form consumes a lot of physical strength each time it’s activated.
After entering the Demon Nest, he naturally can’t maintain it throughout, but only use it at crucial moments.
Returning to his senses, Meng Chuan glanced around at the numerous traits on the panel.
Some were for daily martial arts training, and some enhanced combat-related traits.
These were the "territories" he built with every punch and kick.
The more he looked, the more assured he felt inside.
September 3rd, the Northern United University’s annual new student enrollment day arrived again.
Meng Chuan rose in the courtyard, gathering his stance, hearing the noise coming from outside.
Realizing, he had spent a spring and autumn within the United University.
"Time really flies, a year passed just like that..."
Shaking his head, he checked the watch; it was time for the sparring session agreed with Chu Yanlong, so Meng Chuan left the courtyard.
At the school square.
The two saw Principal Yang holding a meeting for the freshmen on the high stage, curiously glancing a few times.
Meng Chuan saw the crowd, like he was looking at himself a year ago.
Filled with curiosity about the Martial Arts Family, filled with hope for the future...
Chu Yanlong noticed Meng Chuan’s reminiscent expression, grinning: For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Years don’t count in cultivation, when I enrolled for a year, I thought the same.
We Martial Arts Family are ’Long-living Seeds,’ the changing seasons don’t need excessive mourning."
Meng Chuan returned to his senses, nodding solemnly:
"Understood, Brother Long, learned a lot."
Turning to leave, but hearing a voice calling him from afar:
The voice sounded familiar, turning his head to see Meng Chuan’s face light up with a smile:
Zong Ping ran to Meng Chuan from the crowd, fellow villager seeing fellow villager, both eyes in tears...
Meng Chuan patted his shoulder, laughing:
"You kid, didn’t you say the martial arts exam wasn’t going well this year, planning to cultivate for another year?"
"I was being conservative... didn’t expect to perform well, and got into United University."
The old friends reunited, the two chatted for a while.
Chu Yanlong stood with arms folded nearby, not in a hurry.
Meng Chuan patted Zong Ping’s shoulder, introduced him to Chu Yanlong:
"Brother Long, this is my friend Zong Ping, like you, he’s a main Tiger Form practitioner of the Elephant Form Sect."
Chu Yanlong nodded, smiling and commented:
"With our Tiger Form momentum, he looks full of spirit."
Meng Chuan introduced the Tiger Form bigwig to him, Zong Ping adapted quickly.
"Exchange contact information; if you don’t understand anything about Tiger Form, you can ask me."
"Thanks a lot, Brother Long! I used to often hear about Brother Long’s legend in pre-high, seeing you today is truly..."
This kid is a chatterbox, starting again...
Meng Chuan, seeing this, hurriedly interrupted:
"Alright, alright, you better listen to Principal Yang’s talk first.
I’ll send you the dormitory number, come to Huaqing Pool tonight, let’s all have a good get-together."
Zong Ping’s excitement hadn’t dissipated, by Brother Chuan’s grace, just enrolled and already being "recognized" by the Tiger Form bigwig, thrilled!
But he wasn’t tactless, knowing both were Martial Arts Family, about to get busy.
With controlled happiness between his eyebrows, he repeatedly said:
"Okay, okay, Brother Chuan and Brother Long, you guys go ahead, I’ll find you tonight."
"Alright, see you tonight."
After the two left, Zong Ping returned to his senses.
Outward appearance seriously listening to Principal Yang’s talk, but internally a bit distracted.
He was specialized in Tiger Form, Chu Yanlong’s name was long famous.
Zong Ping’s Grandmaster Class teacher had mentioned more than once:
"’Ling White Tiger · Chu Yanlong,’ breaking into the first great limit at nineteen, is the strongest Tiger Form talent I’ve taught in my life!"
This illustrious Tiger Form genius stood beside Brother Chuan...
The appearance was somewhat reminiscent of... years ago, standing beside Brother Chuan...
So this is Brother Chuan’s value...
When you think about it carefully, it’s truly terrifying!
Even upon reaching the university department of the United University, where geniuses abound, he still stands above them all.
Even the "Tiger Form’s strongest talent," as the teachers say, could only obediently be his lackey...
"If I don’t step up, I won’t even qualify as Brother Chuan’s lackey, just a lackey of his lackey..."
But even so, this is something others envy but cannot have.
He understands that if Meng Chuan hadn’t just spoken up for him.
In this lifetime, it would be difficult for him to associate with people from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Class.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a genius, but in the eyes of this group of top-tier talents in the Grandmaster Class, he amounts to a mere roadside rock.
Coming back to himself, Zong Ping was determined about two things:
"I must train harder than before, not to catch up, but at least not to fall too far behind.
The second point is that I must work even harder to cling to Brother Chuan’s coattails, otherwise I won’t even be a lackey of his lackey..."
In the evening, at Huaqing Pool.
After a brief gathering, Meng Chuan sent off his friends, especially the clingy Meng Jiaolong...
"I can sense an inexplicable gaze of a Martial Arts Grandmaster...
If you don’t leave, your mother is going to descend from the heavens..."
"You’re so annoying..."
Once everyone left, the villa returned to its usual tranquility.
Although the alcohol in his body had been forced out by True Qi, the scent of alcohol on Meng Chuan lingered.
He jumped directly into the Star Soup for a soak.
While washing, his Qi Blood gradually spread out from around him, reaching a length of six zhang.
He pondered silently:
"When I measured my Qi Blood this afternoon, it reached nearly three thousand two hundred points.
The Qi Blood in the Yongquan is in perfection, I can attempt a breakthrough..."
The mutation of the six orifices is not static in difficulty.
As the number of acupoint mutations increases, the amount of Qi Blood inside the body drastically increases.
The subsequent mutation process requires more precise control over the more abundant Qi Blood.
Although Meng Chuan senses that the Qi Blood in the Yongquan is already full and swollen.
He is quite aware that each acupoint opening exponentially increases the load on the meridians.
Especially the acupoint in coordination with the Baihui at the top of the head, relating to the body’s balance of heaven and earth, yin and yang.
A slight error might result in mutation failure, back to square one.
Thinking about this, Meng Chuan was reminded of his previous concept of complete human control.
The skin and flesh have now reached the target, the muscles and bones are also nearing completion.
Within the main foundational three, only blood control is still far from reach.
If he could achieve 100% control over blood, presumably the step of controlling Qi Blood during acupoint mutation would be easily accomplished.
Recently, while studying related to the Buddhist school, Meng Chuan has been collecting information in hopes of finding messages about blood-related cultivation techniques.
Unfortunately, the results have been minimal, and he hasn’t found anything useful.
He previously asked President Shen from Hanhai to keep an eye out, perhaps he can inquire if there’s been any progress lately.
Meng Chuan thought to himself:
"If there are no blood-related cultivation techniques within the Northern United University and Hanhai Company, I’ll have to find a way to ask other top Martial Arts Universities..."
In the Demon Path, there are indeed many Demon Skills related to blood.
For example, learned from Chief Long.
Currently, the number one fugitive in Yong’an City and the San Qin region.
[Blood-Drinking Demon Sword · Li Xiao] cultivates a demon skill called "Endless Blood Sea Technique."
As a top Grandmaster in the Demon Path, naturally he doesn’t practice techniques transmitted by the Celestial Demon.
But a purely ancient Demon Skill.
This technique’s control over blood compares to being perverted.
Plus, what unknown benefits did he gain from the Celestial Demon.
If one is weaker than him, merely standing near without contact.
Would be instantly drained of all body essence and blood, turning into a dried-up primordial husk.
Just like the horrific scene in the [Jiao Demon]’s Demon Nest previously...
This method excels in controlling blood, but it controls others’ blood, not one’s own...
Were it not for the still unclear side effects of this demon skill, based purely on its effectiveness, Meng Chuan would indeed be quite interested...
But being interested is useless, currently, the difference in strength between him and the opponent is far too great.
Li Xiao is a renowned demon path giant in Great Chu, crushing him is no harder than squashing an ant...
Not thinking about this, even if this method could be applied to oneself, he wouldn’t seriously practice demon skills.
Once the aura around Meng Chuan settled, calming his mind, he began attempting the fourth major acupoint mutation.
Though without the enhancement of blood-related traits, he still had considerable confidence in controlling Qi Blood.
Meng Chuan focused and gathered his energy, three thousand two hundred points of Qi Blood, surged like a tide around the Yongquan acupoint.
The acupoint trembled under the wash of immense energy, he precisely manipulated the circulation of Qi Blood.
Even without the auxiliary traits of blood, through adeptly utilizing the Qi of the Five Elements.
A breath of inner energy was drawn out, colored by various hues.
With earth-attributed True Qi stabilizing the foundation, fire-attributed True Qi stimulating activity.
Halfway through, the acupoint vibrated intensely due to an imbalance of yin and yang.
He swiftly directed water-attributed True Qi to harmonize, finally without danger, successfully guiding Qi Blood to complete the Yongquan mutation.
The Yongquan acupoint emitted a faint golden sheen, echoing with the Baihui acupoint as heaven and earth.
The fourth major acupoint mutation successfully completed, taking just half an hour.
The process was indeed challenging, but also for others.
Meng Chuan easily crossed another threshold, edging closer to the Six Orifices Transformation.
As for the Yongquan’s effect, it’s already late, Meng Chuan decided to rest first.
He happened to have an appointment tomorrow for the second major limit, the body technique class with [Double Flying Swallow · Zhao Chun] teacher.
Who excels in the "Way of the Feet," the body technique of the feet...
The specific utility of the Yongquan acupoint, led by him, would be better understood.
Early next morning, in the body technique classroom.
