Chapter 1145 - 694: Assessment Passed, Battle for Luck, Pre-Match Meeting!_3
It seems that the difficulty of becoming an associate professor is just that, so the sooner it’s done, the sooner you can enjoy it.But he didn’t know.
In terms of character and martial virtue, the examination department of Great Chu holds the belief that "no one is perfect," so the perfect score is 90 points.
The total score of 980 for the two major categories is already the full score for the title of senior teacher...
...
As the finals approach, countries are striving to help their champions with publicity, and many citizens are creating buzz for their idols and the "heroes" competing in Great Chu on social media platforms.
The competitors themselves also frequently attend public events to boost their popularity.
Amid this, Meng Chuan remains the calmest.
Every day, he travels between his hotel and another place, not participating in any social interviews or events.
It’s not that he doesn’t care about fame; martial arts fortune is of great use to him.
Let’s not talk about those mystical things, like the so-called "luck value."
The Great Tortoise God even "entrusted dreams" to him a few days ago, urging him to strive for more martial arts fortune in hopes of mastering the [True Body Training] and incarnating some formidable being.
Thus, enhancing one’s own martial arts fortune also greatly influences the Great Tortoise God.
Meng Chuan could not see how much martial arts fortune he currently had and could only roughly judge it through the increase of his strength.
So why doesn’t he actively promote himself?
Because these are just "false fame."
Only what’s taken from his opponents is real, tangible fortune.
Finals at the Fengchao Pavilion in Shangjing.
For martial arts resources, for luck value, for old credentials!
Charge forward!
...
On December 29th, Meng Chuan and Yang Yuelian headed for Shangjing.
Today, there is a pre-competition meeting organized by the authorities of Great Chu, held in the capital.
The members of the "Top 100 Teams" who made it to the finals were all required to attend.
Meng Chuan was also curious about what the officials wanted from them, guessing it was mostly regarding the rules of the finals or something similar.
Wow—
A hundred meters above the ground, Meng Chuan withdrew the cloud beneath his feet and landed slowly with Yang Yuelian in his arms.
Upon entering the city, the two first showed their citizenship information and then underwent identity verification by the garrison soldiers.
Only then were they allowed to enter the capital city of Great Chu—
Shangjing.
Recently, the city is preparing for the World Youth Martial Arts Competition, along with meetings of leaders from various countries.
Since the beginning of December, Shangjing has been on Level 1 alert to prevent any disturbances during this crucial period.
This is the capital of Great Chu, its face, and there can be no mistakes.
"Master Meng, Master Yang, I wish you both a pleasant journey to Shangjing and success in the competition."
Nearby, overseeing his subordinates, a leader of the Shangjing garrison soldiers walked over slowly.
He recognized Meng Chuan and nodded with a smile.
"Hello, Venerable Wang."
Meng Chuan clasped his hands and bowed.
As expected of Shangjing, the defense commander of a city is actually a powerhouse at the fifth limit.
It’s important to know that Commander Qin Yue only manages the entire San Qin region and is of the same cultivation level as Venerable Wang here.
In an era where the Great Saints among Celestial Kings rarely show themselves, Martial Arts Venerables are basically the peak that ordinary people can witness.
"I’ve watched your matches, and you fought beautifully!
Young man, keep it up and retain the title of [First Generation] in Great Chu!"
Venerable Wang said with a smile, then walked to the side without saying more.
His senses are constantly spreading, making him the human radar of Shangjing City.
Exchanging a few words with Meng Chuan was enough; he still had his primary duties to attend to.
"The junior will certainly strive hard."
Meng Chuan, not wanting to disturb him further, clasped his hands again and took his leave.
Under Level 1 alert, flying is prohibited in the city, so he simply walked with Yang Yuelian.
Along the way, many locals recognized him, asking for photos and autographs, and Meng Chuan graciously obliged.
Seeing herself, the beautiful lady, getting ’ignored,’ Yang Yuelian laughed and said:
"Chuan’er, you’re really popular now, like a hot commodity~"
Meng Chuan touched his nose, a bit embarrassed, and said:
"It’s okay, mainly because my strength doesn’t allow me to keep a low profile."
"Haha, you’re getting a bit big-headed!"
After some playful banter, seeing that there was only half an hour left until the meeting, Meng Chuan decided to head out first.
"It’s an official summons, hurry up and go, get there early and leave a good impression."
Yang Yuelian urged him as well.
"Hmm, alright, then you go book a hotel first, find one close to [Phoenix Nest], and send me the location."
"Got it, you go ahead now, we just arrived in the city, and it’s still over ten kilometers to the Martial Arts Association, don’t be late."
Meng Chuan nodded, waved, and left.
If it weren’t for the winding city roads, with his speed, he could reach the association in half a minute at most...
...
Martial Arts Association.
Meng Chuan arrived in three minutes, coincidentally meeting Chu Yanhu and Xie Canglan at the elevator.
Besides the two, there were eight other relatively unfamiliar figures.
They were all talented Martial Arts Masters from other campuses of the Northern United University, as well as from the main campus.
Counting him, the Northern United University occupied 11 seats in the Top 100 Teams, placing second in terms of numbers, only one less than the Eastern United University.
"You’re early, Brother Meng!"
Someone corrected:
"You got it wrong, it’s Brother Chuan!"
On that day at the ’Water Drop,’ when everyone gave up challenging the overlord, they all met him.
In front of everyone, Meng Chuan was already a familiar face, waving his hand repeatedly:
"We’re all classmates, no need to be so formal."
While waiting for the elevator, several people gathered and chatted casually.
Before long, nearly half of the participants had gathered from afar.
Most, like Meng Chuan, had the same thought to arrive half an hour early.
Among the crowd, there were a few who had previously challenged him and lost in the Beijing ring matches.
Now meeting again, it was quite awkward...
"I apologize for my past arrogance, the Horizontal Training Sacred Body truly lives up to its name."
[Earthly Violent Bear·Wu Zhongtao] had also advanced to the finals, his expression was quite complicated.
After witnessing Meng Chuan’s subsequent performances, he felt that Meng Chuan had held back when punching him...
"Impressive, in terms of explosiveness, the Five Elements Fire Attribute is no less than the Tiger Form."
Lord Yao recalled Meng Chuan’s ferocity, also secretly astonished.
"No worries, everyone’s being polite."
Meng Chuan casually waved it off, after all, the one injured was not him...
Everyone chatted leisurely:
"Have you all read the data on the foreign competitors?"
"Yes, but I haven’t paid much attention to the fourth-tier strong ones, mainly focusing on the third-tier.
Meili Jian seems quite formidable, each one is at the peak of the third tier, and it feels like a tough battle against any one of them."
"Third tier strong, no use, their number of fourth-tier powerhouses is too few, only Korbi and Thomas, we have six overlords, overwhelming in numbers."
Through the overlord challenge, everyone had long defaulted Meng Chuan as a fourth-tier existence as well.
Mentioning the overlords, the conversation naturally shifted back to him.
"Brother Chuan, among the tens of thousands of third-tier globally, you’re unquestionably the number one in terms of combat power, we’re all very curious about how you train..."
Especially these few.
Everyone in Great Chu follows the same three-flower martial arts path.
Trained in the same fist skill, practicing the same mental technique.
How could the gap be so vast...
"It’s not just about combat power, Brother Chuan’s Qi Blood cultivation speed is even more insane!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
In the martial arts world, the capable lead the way, they habitually called him "brother," almost overlooking Meng Chuan’s young age.
"Once Brother Chuan reaches our age, without question, he’ll be a fifth-limit Venerable!"
"Wow... Not only unprecedented, but perhaps never to be repeated..."
A Martial Arts Venerable under thirty...
Just the thought of it is terrifying.
Their flattery didn’t inflate Meng Chuan’s heart in the slightest.
His sights were set on the stars, the universe, so he remained unfazed by both praise and insult.
Regarding the questions on cultivation and combat practice, Meng Chuan and the others discussed it and shared their insights.
After the discussion had died down, Meng Chuan spoke calmly, each word clear, answering these inquiries:
"I believe that as martial arts cultivation progresses, more importance should be placed on the cultivation of willpower. Willpower is not only used to consolidate martial strength, but it’s also the foundation for mental training.
Mental training includes steadfastness, focus, mental concentration, fearlessness, standing firm in the face of strength, and remaining unwavering in one’s path.
The higher the martial arts cultivation, the greater the external resistance they will face. Human limits exist, but it is the willpower that can break through those limits."
