Chapter 441 - 406: Complete Mastery, Accumulated Power Unleashed, and the Dominant Fist Stance!
In an instant, Meng Chuan mentally supplemented various uses of Martial Arts Momentum.He proposed his thoughts, receiving a nod of approval from Chen Qiushui.
"You guessed right, that’s exactly it. Your Xingyi Sect can naturally leverage momentum to unleash greater power, which I quite envy.
But it doesn’t matter because Martial Arts Momentum itself is something that can grow.
In addition to enhancing the fundamental powers that constitute it, it can also be strengthened through actual combat, overcoming strong foes, confirming theories, thereby intensifying the power and scope of Martial Arts Momentum."
"Understood."
Meng Chuan knew that besides leveraging the forces of nature, the Xingyi Sect had two other paths for improvement.
One is actual combat, the other is the comprehensive enhancement of martial prowess.
However, uniquely to himself, there is a third way to improve.
That is to nourish sinews and bones with the essence of Qi Blood, which can also enhance momentum, indirectly influencing the progress of Martial Arts Momentum.
Of course, this method is only considered when his current realm of Qi and Blood is at perfection.
The priority for new Qi Blood is always to fill the acupoints and stars first.
Regaining his senses, he continued to listen to Chen Qiushui’s advice:
"When the Martial Arts Heaven entirely manifests, and 361 acupoint stars fully appear, our Elephant Form Sect can condense Martial Arts Momentum into a Dharma Aspect, applying it to the body.
Your Xingyi Sect refers to this step as connecting with Heaven and Earth to transform into Intention, don’t ask me about it, I am not very clear on more advanced Xingyi Sect theories either."
Meng Chuan nodded, repeatedly expressing gratitude.
The power of Intention, even before he became a Martial Artist,
He had experienced it on his enraged master at the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.
Clouds amassed from all directions, Qianyuan Thunder Strike!
He was still quite a distance from this step, and could not aim too high prematurely.
After leaving, he seized the opportunity during class time to practice Martial Arts Momentum with Taoist Qi.
An hour later, Taoist Qi still needed to intensively train to sprint to Grandmaster.
Before Meng Chuan left, he listened to Taoist Qi’s final advice:
"The attributes you’ve learned are various, and progressing too quickly I fear will make your foundation unstable; early on, don’t consider merging various momenta.
First, take them individually and master them completely.
Your main focus is the Five Elements Fist. Once your control reaches a higher level, then consider merging elements like Water and Wood, Fire and Thunder.
Of course, opposing attributes of Martial Arts Momentum, or even merging three, four, or even a hundred will surely cause conflicts, like the incompatibility of Fire and Water.
To suppress and merge them, aside from skill, it relies on strong Martial Will to achieve. Always remember, cultivation of will must be consistent.
Martial Arts Momentum endows the Fist Stance with a spiritual level of overwhelming force, and their fusion can be regarded as a higher form of Fist Stance application.
The ultimate goal of our Xingyi Sect is to achieve the supreme state of ’With one punch, all the momentum of Heaven and Earth is at my disposal.’
...
Night fell on Lishan Mountain, on a wasteland not far from Huaqing Pool.
Meng Chuan, riding the momentum of success, intended to first master the Five Elements and Eight Extremes Momentum.
He donned the Demon Rabbit Battle Armor, like a nightscape bodysuit.
This was to prevent damage to his clothes due to inadequate mastery of ’momentum,’ avoiding the embarrassment of descending the mountain half-dressed...
After standing still, he began his cultivation, blessed by the effect of constant verification that made his grasp of the Five Elements Momentum increasingly familiar.
More than an hour passed.
Whoosh—!
Meng Chuan continued to execute the Five Elements Spiritual Breath Fist, with fists resonating sequentially displaying the Quintuple Elements Fist Stance.
The momentum’s magnetic field compressed under the guidance of will, gradually merging with the Fist Stance on his arm.
He started with Fire Momentum, the golden-red flowing flames followed the fist path, blazing out over ten zhang, with fiery waves surging;
Then transitioning to Water Momentum, his fist surged like waves, constantly extending, with ripples shining within three zhang radius.
As his fist brushed past, it nourished the trees scorched slightly by the Fire Momentum before.
When the Earth Momentum solidified, his feet stomped the ground like mountains standing still, stirring up a circle of dust rings.
On Lishan Mountain, the Earth Momentum was especially strong.
Not only did it guide the punch location, this advanced Fist Stance was astonishingly heavy.
It could also adhere all over the body, forming a dark yellow armor for defense again.
Meng Chuan tested its heaviness, muscles, black membrane, True Qi, plus this layer of Earth Armor.
Few experts of the second threshold in mountain terrain could break through his defense;
When the Metal Momentum suddenly burst forth, the fist wind rang clear, tearing through the night with the sound of ripping silk;
With the Wood Momentum concluded, a green glow faintly appeared, the fist path endlessly alive like an ancient tree meeting spring.
Meng Chuan continually adjusted his breathing rhythm, controlling the Five Elements Momentum separately, gathering them at his arms.
The Fire Momentum was fierce yet not scattered, the Water Momentum supple but firm, the Earth Momentum heavy but agile, the Metal Momentum sharp yet solemn, the Wood Momentum tenacious and bursting with energy.
Every transition was guided by Martial Will, making this advanced Fist Stance follow his intentions like a limb.
The achievements from a night’s practice were all thanks to the help of constant verification.
It only led to progress, not regression.
Meng Chuan felt that as his learning deepened, the effect of constant verification showed no sign of diminishing, instead becoming increasingly abnormal.
For advanced martial principles like ’Martial Arts Momentum,’ repeated practice was necessary for validation.
Yet for him, only ’verification’ was needed, without repetition...
...
Boom!
Having mastered the advanced Five Elements Fist Momentum, Meng Chuan attempted further fusion of two momenta.
After failure, he decided not to pursue it deeply.
Taoist Qi was right, only with improved control could he attempt to use will to drive two types of Martial Arts Momentum.
Adjusting the fist path in his hand, he turned to practice ’Shaking the River Eight Extremes.’
This technique is the true skill Baji Fist Meng Chuan learned from Liu Sanduo.
Though not yet mastered, with the foundation of Baji, it possesses an impressive momentum.
As the fists reach their peak, the momentum of Baji suddenly erupts.
"Storm Hammer" shatters the rocks underfoot, "Sweeping Rudder Fist" slices through the night wind.
Eight Extremes Power interlaces with the Fist Stance as Meng Chuan merges his momentum into it.
In that instant, Meng Chuan had a sudden enlightenment.
The Martial Arts Momentum of Baji Fist is "Fierce and Dominant"!
The momentum converges at the fist edge with power; each punch delivered seems to carry a stunning force.
With the entire set of "Shaking River Baji" imbued with this "flavor," the kicks and punches are not only fiercer and more violent but also bear a heart-shaking oppressive presence.
While the use of Martial Arts Momentum in Baji techniques is not as aggressively apparent as the Five Elements.
Its spiritual suppression is several degrees stronger.
Where the fist edge reaches, power and Martial Arts Momentum blend.
Every strike resembles crashing waves on the shore, riveting the soul.
Facing this momentum, an opponent with a weak mindset and spiritual power.
Their qi blood might falter, their will waver, and they could be frightened before the fight even begins.
This advanced fist stance, combined with Eight Extremes Power, can exponentially increase its force, unstoppable like a landslide.
At this moment, on the desolate land.
The rampant fist strength and the aftermath of Eight Extremes Momentum coexist, constantly booming around Meng Chuan.
With the enlightenment from the fist stance, he unexpectedly entered the profound state of "sudden enlightenment."
This was a state achieved without any characteristic assistance, purely stepping into the blessing of insight.
Today, he’s enjoying the treatment of a comprehension genius.
Accompanied by a series of sonic booms, Meng Chuan moved like a flash of lightning.
His punching speed was too fast; with each rise and fall, the Baji Fist stance exploded continuously.
In his mind, the proficiency of Shaking River Baji kept leaping from entry to mastery without pause.
Meng Chuan’s repeated practice, the sudden enlightenment state made his mind crystal clear.
There was nothing in his mind, only the principles of Baji Fist seemed tangible, imprinted on the fist edge, confirmed on the panel.
Only after more than two hours did he feel the peculiar state of sudden enlightenment fade, his gaze returning to clarity.
It was only then he had the space to look at the panel, and in an instant, Meng Chuan was a bit surprised.
[Shaking River Baji: Entry (75%) → Mastery (52%)]
This true skill Baji Fist, unexpectedly jumped from entry to proficiency, filling over half of mastery.
With such harvest, besides sudden enlightenment, his foundation in Baji Fist also played a part.
This is truly "building upon the foundation for explosive progress."
His qi blood also gained considerably, filling into the small star he connected recently.
He has now taken another step towards fully illuminating the Martial Arts Sky Dome.
The increase in Qi and Blood Value brings comprehensive progress to a martial artist’s body.
Today he mastered the Martial Arts Momentum, his fist skill progressed, and his martial arts strength comprehensively improved.
Meng Chuan felt very happy, deciding to celebrate tonight with sleep.
He hadn’t touched a bed for over forty-eight hours, yet he remained full of energy.
When sleep is no longer necessary, each instance of sleep becomes a joy.
...
Early the next morning, Meng Chuan felt refreshed.
His muscles and bones, in the previous night, had absorbed another dose of wood essence, increasing the penetrative force of his power.
Today he plans to pack his things and study the route to Wudang, preparing for the "study abroad journey."
Before that, he’d clear the remaining academic credits as much as possible.
He worried that, should this journey take too long.
The privilege to purchase at a discount might expire, causing quite a loss.
This June, with a new session of Martial Extreme True Inheritance, the 15% discount at Yong’an campus will change hands.
Meng Chuan certainly doesn’t believe the juniors at his campus can maintain this privilege...
Half an hour later, while practicing today’s mind method, he heard someone knocking outside.
Upon opening the door, he received a big box from a staff member at United University.
These were Moistening Vein Spirit Pills produced by United University; Meng Chuan took them to his bedroom and opened them for a sniff.
"Hmm, compared to those produced by the Meritorious Armory, the quality is equally excellent, worthy of a high-grade product at 680 academic credits."
Originally priced at 800 credits, after discount, Meng Chuan pondered.
In one go, he bought 36 pills, spending all his credits, leaving only 327 credits.
On this journey, unless there is a suitable summoning from Hanhai.
Otherwise, this year, he might not enter Demon Nest again, unable to gain battle achievements, or exchange for pills to accelerate cultivation.
...
Subsequently, after completing today’s mind method lesson, while introspecting his form, Meng Chuan remembered one thing.
In the depths of his sea of consciousness, besides the damned Tiger Form imprint, there was also a small Golden Crow prototype.
This is the secret technique, "Boiling Flame," taught to him by Principal Sui.
Now having mastered the Martial Arts Momentum, according to the other’s words, this is the most suitable time for cultivation.
Meng Chuan introspected the Golden Crow imprint, using perception to touch it.
The golden glowing surface was extremely hot, causing a heat wave to surge in the sea of consciousness.
Recalling the previously given "usage method," Meng Chuan felt uncertain:
"Principal Sui said, during usage, transform heart spirit into a big mouth to swallow this item, can it really be eaten..."
