With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

Originally, everyone was learning up close.

But now, they don't dare to get close and can only watch from afar.

In their eyes, all they can see is a big fireball during the camp's military training on the silicon stake.

Meng Chuan's strength is now overwhelmingly surpassing everyone in the preparatory high school.

Just the momentum from his full-strength punches while staking is unbearable for others.

Meng Chuan's young eagle claw skill fan tried to get closer and helplessly said after a while:

"Brother Chuan's getting even more insane; we'll need binoculars to learn from him soon..."

"You're overthinking it. In two months, you won't even see Brother Chuan anymore."

"...Right, I forgot Brother Chuan is about to go to the university department."

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the afternoon's special training time.

Lu Zhuxiao said:

"You have a few days before the competition. Let me know what areas you need me to help strengthen, and we'll deal with them slowly this afternoon."

"Master Lu, I still want to learn Yaksha Sea Exploration."

Meng Chuan's physical body and Qi Blood have reached the best pre-competition state, and big short-term improvements are unrealistic.

So, he set his eyes on these fist skills, aiming for a quick improvement.

For instance, Cyan Dragon's Claw, utilizing the Five Elements Qi, combined with various practical combat traits, has increased in power several times over compared to before.

And Yaksha Sea Exploration's ferocity surpasses Cyan Dragon's Claw by several levels.

If he could integrate this move into his boxing style, he'd have two deadly weapons for the Supernova tournament.

The other is the Black Jade Small Mallet.

He's willing to go any lengths to win...

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's words, Lu Zhuxiao was rendered speechless.

"...Training every day, are you at odds with it?"

But he still taught him, let it be Sea Exploration then.

He couldn't help it; Meng Chuan just loved this move.

Time swiftly passed, and two hours went by in an instant.

At this point, Meng Chuan and Lu Zhuxiao were entangled together, occasionally pressing on each other's shoulders with a move of Yaksha Sea Exploration.

Lu Zhuxiao was about to puke from all the Sea Exploration moves, but Meng Chuan kept on shouting to try again.

He suddenly exerted force.

"Damn it, I'll let you do Exploration, I'll pin you down!"

...

The sun was about to set.

The shadow of the teaching building fell on the side, and the two sat down to regulate their breath.

Meng Chuan expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you for today's guidance, Master Lu!"

"Enough, enough, as long as you're making progress..."

Lu Zhuxiao got up, waved his hand, and dragged his tired body to leave.

The path of a gold medal mentor is tough, but he perseveres.

After the other left, Meng Chuan got up to continue practicing alone.

After repeatedly "tormenting" Master Lu, his Yaksha Sea Exploration became even more standard and ferocious than the mastery level of [Qi Jiguang's Thirty-Two Long Fist].

This ancient martial boxing belongs to Xingyi's Fire Attribute, vigorous and swift, with explosive force.

Thus, Meng Chuan channelled a surge of Heart Fire Qi, launching an assault at the imagined enemy.

Close in, reaching hands, wrapping arms, suppression!

Movements were smooth, and techniques seamlessly integrated into one.

Even a specialist in Qi Family Boxing couldn't find any fault.

However, the [fist momentum] of Meng Chuan disappeared, leaving only the dry wind sweeping around.

It should've been as fierce as fire, but there wasn't any reaction from his fists, arms, or body, as if the Heart Fire died out prematurely.

Meng Chuan attempted again, bending and stretching his five fingers, grasping with dragon claws, Heart Fire Qi naturally attached to the Fire Dragon's Claw.

Comparing the two, Meng Chuan couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

The posture was quite standard, with a correction certificate confirming his moves couldn't be wrong.

Air tuning was impossible to mess up; his Five Elements Qiankun Fist was almost reaching mastery, yet Qi Eating Skill was just the basics.

The only difference between the two: one was gained by [enlightenment], and the other was achieved by toughening himself.

If he can't attach the Heart Fire fist momentum, Yaksha Sea Exploration would rely solely on brute force.

It's no better than a casual punch infused with countless [traits].

"Where's the problem..."

Meng Chuan kept trying but was stuck at the stage of gathering qi and employing momentum.

Enlightenment is enlightenment; his martial understanding was insufficient for analogous comprehension.

He tried again for a while, knowing the sun was about to set.

Meng Chuan stopped getting stuck and switched back to practice the Five Elements Fist.

He gambled on an enlightenment between dawn and dusk, but by sunset, he still couldn't trigger it.

After regulating his breath for a while, Meng Chuan prepared to leave.

He checked his phone to see where the driver was, only to find several missed calls from the same person.

"The Master is looking for me?"

Meng Chuan was puzzled inside, unsure why Principal Yang sought him.

"Is it because I'm about to compete, so he wants to give me a last-minute pep talk and encouragement?"

"No need to guess, it's bound to be something good, a great opportunity to ask about what's wrong with this Yaksha Sea Exploration."

Meng Chuan felt a tingling contraction all over his pores, as the dust from training scattered with a shiver.

The national martial arts exam was approaching day by day.

Yang Huan, esteemed as the Principal of Northern United University, was busy handling related matters, and recently hasn't had time to 'sit and reason' with him.

...

"Xiaomeng, how's your preparation for the Taihang Mountain battle?"

Yang Huan was signing various documents, asking him in the meantime.

"Getting into the finals shouldn't be a big problem, but the specifics will depend on my performance on the spot."

Yang Huan nodded:

"You're always conservative with your words. Seems like it's a sure thing this time."

Actually, Meng Chuan wasn't being modest; he had watched quite a lot of footage of other competitors advancing to the next stages.

The Northern Lands are vast, with countless talents.

Anyone who could make it to the second stage is already a skilled fighter among the Nine Passes. With the slightest misstep, even someone who practices both internally and externally like him could fail unexpectedly.

This 20 million isn't easy to acquire, Meng Chuan knew it well.

Yang Huan was reviewing documents on one side while instructing Meng Chuan about the competition matters.

After reviewing, he took out a sealed document from the second drawer.

"Open and have a look."

Meng Chuan complied, tearing it open, and saw the headline stamped with the United University emblem.

[Regarding the Admission of 'Meng Chuan' to the Northern United University Yong'an Campus 'Grandmaster Class', Exempt from Examination Admission Implementation Opinion.]

Seeing Yang Huan looking composed, he remained silent and continued reading.

...

[Issuing Unit: Main Educational Office, Northern United Martial Arts University.]

[Issuing Date: June 16.]

[Organizer and Overseer: Sui Chunqiu]

After Meng Chuan finished reading, Yang Huan smiled and said:

"There's too much lengthy nonsense in here, it actually boils down to one simple sentence.

You don't need to take the martial exam at the end of July; you're admitted to the Grandmaster Class without an exam."

"Understood."

As an exam-preparee, Meng Chuan had already familiarized himself with many of the specifics online.

Such special Martial Arts University [special] classes never had a concept of exam exemption.

This seems to be a precedent set not only by the Northern United University but by all top Martial Arts Universities nationwide.

He continued to flip through the details, worried there might be something akin to a contract of servitude...

Yang Huan, aware of Meng Chuan's concerns, said speechlessly:

"Rest assured, there are none of those things you're worried about. You'll have the same obligations as the martial exam students, with no differences."

Five minutes later, after confirming no errors, Meng Chuan prepared to sign with a pen.

"Thank you, Principal Yang, Principal Sui, and United University for recognizing me. I am willing to join Northern United University."

He had the intention for Northern United University already; avoiding the martial exam saved both time and effort, why not take advantage?

He thought to himself:

"It's a pity though for my martial exam bonus points and Silver Medal, but exemption without an exam is better, saving time for practice."

Seeing this, Yang Huan's heart was relieved; it was assured!

He reminded:

"Hold on a moment, let your mentor know, have him come over to sign together."

Yang Huan then explained that Luo Guanyun is Meng Chuan's direct mentor, and such matters require personal confirmation and signature.

Meng Chuan nodded to show understanding, then called Luo Guanyun.

[Master Luo, are you free to come to the United University Preparatory High School?]

On the other end, Luo Guanyun was researching the tortoiseshell engraved with Demon Skill.

Upon receiving his disciple's call, he set down what he was holding and asked in confusion:

[What happened... Did you get in a fight again, cause trouble?]

[No... there's an exemption admission document that needs your signature.]

[Exemption? No more joining the Grandmaster Class?]

Luo Guanyun's expression tightened; the Grandmaster Class holds significant importance, it's essential.

Additionally, he had heard from the manager of the United University Grandmaster Class, [Flying Flower Chasing Moon Chen Qiushui] Grandmaster.

This year, Meng Chuan coincides with the school's resource allocation system reform.

With his disciple's abilities, he is bound to gain immensely.

"Fortune, Companions, Method, Ground," an ancient saying, holds true.

Even for Grandmasters, wealth isn't completely disregarded.

What they seek cannot be bought with mere money; it requires more precious "wealth."

After Meng Chuan explained to his mentor, a smile finally returned on Luo Guanyun's side of the phone.

[You brat, never speak the whole truth.

Hahaha, it seems United University is indeed insightful, very discerning. Someone as exceptional as you deserves special treatment.]

"Hmm?"

Yang Huan, hearing some not-so-pleasant words, felt an invisible aura of hostility rising beside him. Meng Chuan quietly reminded on the phone:

[Master, Principal Yang is right next to me right now.]

[...Can I sign remotely, electronic signature?]

Before Meng Chuan could respond, Yang Huan calmly said:

[15th-year graduate student Luo Guanyun, be here within half an hour.]

[...Received.]

Meng Chuan solemnly expressed a three-second silence for Master Luo.

Then, he didn't waste the opportunity to meet the "senior master," consulting about integrating fist techniques.

After hearing Meng Chuan's description, Yang Huan nodded:

"I understand what you mean, why do you want to learn other fist techniques?"

Meng Chuan explained:

"I want to learn the strengths of other fist techniques and integrate them into my own path. Using my [fist stance] to unleash, it's much more powerful than the original version."

Yang Huan understood, Meng Chuan intended to take the "shortcut," also known as the "wild route."

Rather than fully mastering the entire fist technique, focusing on "extracting" the essence and integrating it into oneself.

Though a shortcut, as long as it doesn't remain superficial, it's not an invalid method of learning Martial Arts.

With enough accumulation, one may achieve mastery of a complete set of fist techniques.

However, this demands extremely high comprehension; in today's well-structured Martial Arts education system, this method isn't suitable for 99.99% of people.

Standing up and stretching twice, his body emitted crisp sounds like bamboo segments cracking, starting from the calf roots.

Each segment from the calf to the neck moves orderly, with no upper body joints wanting to exceed and sound, as if his body issued commands gradually, the sounds growing louder.

This denotes absolute control over oneself.

Yang Huan smiled faintly:

"You brat, seems like you've already tasted the benefits. Show me which move you've learned, attack me first for a look."
