Chapter 438 - 403: Levels of Life! The Marvelous Uses of True Qi! Second-Limit Pile Skill!
Meng Chuan and his mentor talked until late at night before he returned home that evening.With the advancement of the second realm, the aura he exudes became increasingly unfathomable, though he didn’t feel it when he was with his mentor.
Now back home, Meng Chuan suddenly noticed that the eyes of the two elders twitched upon seeing him.
He quickly circulated the "Flower of Flesh" to compress it a bit, restraining his aura.
With multiple physical transformations, he had begun to become "inhuman."
Standing next to ordinary people, the crushing life force magnetic field.
Would make them feel a similar sensation to that of a mouse seeing a cat.
Meng Yongzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"Chuan’er is really impressive now. Even though Uncle is worldly, going to work every day, and having seen many martial artists at the office,
I still feel that in the entire Yong’an Police Station, probably only Chief Long is stronger than you now."
Xue Na also chimed in:
"Yes, back when the neighbor next door to our old house said that Chuan’er practicing the Child’s Fist every day was a waste of time,
now standing in front of him, he’d probably be so scared he couldn’t even stand up."
Meng Chuan just smiled without saying anything.
He diligently cultivated martial arts, practicing relentlessly, not to "show off" in front of ordinary people.
Then, Meng Chuan checked the progress of his uncle and aunt practicing the [Qi Observation Skill].
There was still some distance from entry level, but this method had no threshold for cultivation.
As long as the two elders can persist, it’s just a matter of time before they reach entry level.
Meng Chuan further guided them on the key points of practicing this Qi refining method.
Then he sat by the side, listening to his uncle ramble on about the principles of life, nodding frequently.
Normally, when martial artists of the second realm master the [Martial Arts Momentum], they can interact with ordinary people normally.
But once the heart spirit is moved, the "momentum" emerges uncontrollably.
Ordinary people would feel that chasm-like palpitation.
This is the barrier brought by the level of life, and others in the second realm can only avoid it completely by cultivating restraining methods.
Having just entered the realm, he was not yet able to control this momentum.
He could only rely on compression to lower his "sense of presence."
At this moment, Meng Chuan got up from the side and walked up to the attic.
Xue Na and Meng Yongzhi were still fiercely discussing how incredible he was, not realizing he had already left the living room.
Meng Chuan gave a knowing smile, realizing he was now the pillar of the family.
He still needed to continue climbing upward to stabilize this small family even more.
He returned to the martial arts chamber he set up on the rooftop and then thoroughly introspected his body after the second transformation.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and pondered:
"The most significant change in advancing to the second realm is the presence of 355 secondary stars, slightly smaller than the six main acupoints.
This is also crucial for me to continue advancing in my Qi and Blood martial arts cultivation.
In addition, the mutation of the spring enabled by the three flowers allows me to project True Qi outside the body, providing a shield-like defense.
But my defense was already strong, and the True Qi protection is just the icing on the cake. Most importantly, it has enhanced the striking distance of my fists and feet.
The maximum distance of external projection is currently less than a hundred meters. As my internal energy increases and the conversion amount of True Qi rises in the future, my effective True Qi attack range can continue to extend.
If I encounter an area like the Crocodile Man’s gathering in the Demon Nest again, I can sweep it clear with one stroke of Tiger Soul...
Finally, the mutated cells have led to an all-round enhancement of my body, with evident improvements in physical strength and defensive capabilities."
But Meng Chuan felt that compared to breaking through the first major limit, this transformation’s effect was not as significant.
This is because the last time was equivalent to a martial artist becoming a martial arts family.
It was a "qualitative" breakthrough on the path of martial arts cultivation, so the change was naturally significant.
Meng Chuan heard from his mentor that when breaking through the third limit to become a Grandmaster,
the effect of the human body’s transformation would not be inferior to that of a martial artist advancing to a martial arts family.
If the first major limit is a considerable hurdle for a martial artist,
then the fourth major limit, Martial Arts Grandmaster, is also a significant hurdle for a martial arts family.
One could say that 99% of the martial arts family would stop before becoming a Grandmaster.
Some are far from it, stuck at the first major limit making no progress.
But some martial arts masters remain stuck at the threshold of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top all their lives.
Unable to touch the realm of Grandmaster, just one step away from soaring through the sky.
Meng Chuan calmed his heart spirit, putting away the small pride in his heart after the breakthrough.
Being far from the Grandmaster realm, he still needs to forge ahead with his martial arts, diligently practicing without slack.
"It’s not too late to pop champagne to celebrate once I break through to the Grandmaster level."
Two realms away from Grandmaster, Meng Chuan did not feel it was too distant...
...
Early the next morning, Meng Chuan slept at home for the last night.
He packed his things, prepared to visit Lishan Mountain, and then set off.
Meng Yiyi, busy in the laboratory, had already left.
Meng Yongzhi saw that Meng Chuan was about to leave home and quickly came over, reluctant to part:
"Chuan’er, going back to school?"
Xue Na also showed concern:
"Stay a few more days at home. You hardly come back a few times a year..."
Meng Chuan, seeing the serious expressions of the two elders, laughed and said:
"Uncle, Aunt, I have to continue working hard. The world is waiting for me to save it. I need to go back and continue my martial arts training without slack."
Meng Yongzhi laughed as he raised his arm and patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder.
"Chuan’er, you’re inflating a bit. Saving the world is definitely not up to you. Remember to hide if there’s danger, and don’t forget you have us and Master Luo, all waiting for you."
Meng Chuan nodded solemnly and said:
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I know, ’Stealth and Grow.’
"Haha, yes, that’s exactly what Uncle means."
Standing at the doorway, Meng Chuan hugged his family one more time before turning and leaving.
His path of second realm cultivation thus began.
...
In Huaqing Pool.
Meng Chuan stood in front of the small courtyard he hadn’t seen for more than a month.
After the cold winter, the flowers and plants in the courtyard began to slowly sprout new buds.
A new cycle of life, quietly unfolding here.
This time returning to school, from home to the belly of Lishan Mountain.
Meng Chuan took less than twenty minutes, his speed astonishing.
This is because he learned another wonderful use of True Qi during his journey.
With each step, he discharged True Qi to the soles of his feet, combining it with the Cloud-Ascending Ladder to slide nearly a thousand meters.
It was like making nearly a hundred great leaps, jumping all the way from Huayun Prefecture to Northern United University...
This way of traveling not only saved time but also gave him new insights into controlling True Qi.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan pondered aloud:
"It seems the application of True Qi discharge is far beyond combat; there must be more convenient functions waiting to be discovered..."
...
That night, Meng Chuan and his friends celebrated.
Everyone congratulated him on successfully Breaking Two, taking another step closer to the Eighth Limit "Martial God"...
Meng Chuan also drank very happily, using the unexhausted strength of the liquor to boast bravely:
"I want to break through a hundred limits!"
"Well, it seems Brother Chuan has a grand vision himself. What level is a hundred limits, can Blue Star still contain him by then?"
"Blue Star? I think even the entire universe won’t be able to contain him!"
Everyone was very happy, including Meng Chuan, none of whom used Power to dispel the alcohol in their bodies, talking "crazy talk."
This group of young people rarely had the chance to vent their emotions, and once they awoke tomorrow, they had to return to the busy Martial Arts training.
After the New Year, Meng Chuan realized everyone had made quite a bit of progress.
Xu Qingfeng and Chu Yanhu both activated another major acupoint, taking another step closer to the Two Limits.
Meng Jiaolong broke through the Ninth Gate of Qi and Blood, entering the sprint stage of the Martial Arts family.
Zong Ping also made progress, but compared to the others, the gap widened even more.
In ordinary high school, he was a genius.
Among the most outstanding young Martial Arts family in a special Martial Arts University, Zong Ping seemed very inconspicuous.
But he was satisfied; compared with before, the speed of progress had already been much faster.
Of course, apart from Meng Chuan, Chu Yanlong had the greatest improvement.
He also achieved the conditions to Break Two, and after some preparation, was about to advance.
He tilted his head back to drink a bottle, joking:
"Meng God, you must wait for your brothers, don’t fly too fast alone; the brothers can’t see your shadow anymore."
Meng Chuan laughed and said:
"Don’t worry, no matter how fast I fly, if everyone needs me to give a pull, I won’t hesitate!"
"Great! For Brother Chuan’s words, I’ll punish myself with one bottle!"
"I’ll punish myself with a box!"
"Brother Chuan, my cat really can do a backflip..."
Finally, Chen Jingyi rubbed Meng Chuan with her tight legs, secretly signaling.
...
The youth interchange their cups, high spirited and full of vigor.
The next day, at four in the morning.
Meng Chuan’s biological clock sounded, practicing martial arts under the moonlight.
He hadn’t practiced Pile Skill for a long time, wanting to see how challenging the Two Limits Pile Skill training would be.
Returning to the original posture, standing until eight in the morning.
Meng Chuan sensed his meridians starting to move and stretch again, slowly weaving the "star orbit" within his body, settling his mind.
"Master is right, the Earth Posture lesson from One to Three Limits is the same, I just need to continue practicing step by step."
Compared with the first realm’s Pile Skill, there was only one difference.
That was the training speed slowed down significantly.
He estimated that putting in eight hours of standing every day was required to extend to a "subordinate star."
The difficulty of the meridian Pile Skill laid in the greater retraction the closer you approached the six major stars at the top of the star orbit.
But Meng Chuan’s meridians wouldn’t retract; they’d continue to progress upwards until the end...
For others, it’s a hard endurance, but Meng Chuan stood full Pile Skill time every day.
A total of 355 pieces, roughly a year to complete Two Limits Pile Skill training.
If Master Lu knew this "brutal fact," he’d probably feel terrible...
No longer worrying about Master Lu in his heart, Meng Chuan completed today’s Pile Skill time.
While pondering martial principles, time passed quickly.
The first star orbit was gradually filled by the lateral branches of the meridian, connecting the acupoint stars on it.
Meng Chuan maneuvered Qi Blood into the acupoint, the first subordinate star glowing brightly.
"There are still 344 stars, keep going, and do it!"
Following the second mutation, Meng Chuan’s need for sleep and rest became less and less.
Having tried before, even if he didn’t sleep for three days and nights, he still felt energetic.
So there’s nothing much to say, just work hard!
This visibly evident progress is the most mesmerizing...
...
Principal Yang wasn’t at school these two days, instructing Meng Chuan to wait for him to return before heading to Wudang.
He wasn’t in a hurry, his visit invitation and "fallback" depended on Yang.
While waiting, Meng Chuan practiced his fists steadily.
The next afternoon after finishing Pile Skill, feeling another lateral branch had grown.
Meng Chuan decided it was time to Limit Breaking [Thunderstorm Scattered Hands].
