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

The next day, the early sun hung high.

Meng Chuan took a car to the Gangzi Club.

This time, after winning the championship in the Northern Lands, Meng Chuan did not celebrate with everyone.

His friends were busy preparing for exams, with him being the only one seemingly free.

Once everyone finishes their martial arts exams, they will gather together for a good meal.

Yesterday, Chen Xuewu also called, saying he was preparing to apply to the new "Central Military Department's Special-Class Martial Arts University," on the west side of Lishan Mountain.

The original body was a specially recruited, closed management Central Military Academy. Once its thirteen branch campuses across the country are completed, it will be transformed into the tenth special martial arts university of Great Chu.

Meng Chuan agreed with Chen Xuewu's decision since his Qi and Blood Value was still at level six.

The competition is intense this year, and there is a risk of not even getting into ordinary classes in other special martial arts universities.

As the Lishan branch of the military university is newly built, the requirements will undoubtedly be lower. Meng Chuan felt that with Chen Xuewu's strength, he should be firmly secured.

Last night, Meng Chuan felt that the apertures in his body were almost fully recovered.

He then sought out Brother Gang for physical training and, following the Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body, re-established his training plan.

Brother Gang had already heard of Meng Chuan's championship win in Taihang and had hung a banner reading "Congratulations to club members..." on the signboard...

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, the membership of the Gangzi Club skyrocketed.

Even the other martial arts training teachers started implementing a queue reservation system.

Li Weigang made quite a profit from the proceeds.

So, with a grand gesture, he did not raise the prices for Meng Chuan and even reduced the prices for other training sessions by 20%.

The Dragon Capturing Skill's single training session lasts three hours, and Brother Gang's move saved Meng Chuan a lot of money.

He was very grateful in his heart and made a promise on the spot.

"Brother Gang, when I win in Shanghai and deliver my victory speech, I will definitely thank our 'Gangzi Club.'

"Great, I wish you win the national championship in advance, Xiaomeng!"

In a good mood, Li Weigang was particularly vigorous during the training session.

Meng Chuan felt that his not-yet-fully-grown "Dragon Tendons and Dragon Bones" were almost about to be smashed...

...

Two days later in the early morning.

After finishing his morning exercises, Meng Chuan stopped by the housekeeper in Huayun Prefecture to pick up his package.

The potion from General Manager Shen, Grandmaster Shen of Hanhai, had arrived.

No time like the present, Meng Chuan planned to use it upon receiving it.

For caution's sake, Meng Chuan made a phone call to confirm.

"Hahaha, Meng Chuan, you've received it?"

A cheerful laugh from Shen Shuo came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, it just arrived today, thank you, General Manager Shen!"

"No need for thanks. Let me go over the considerations with you again.

This potion is derived from the Golden Skin Jade Dew, and like it, is more effective when consumed during hard skills progression.

As for the secondary growth effect, you'll have to feel it for yourself a bit.

Also, about the side effects you're most concerned about, don't worry, it's purely natural and harmless!"

On this end of the phone, Meng Chuan expressed his gratitude once again.

"Show it with your actions, train well in martial arts, and during your trip to Shanghai at the end of the year, bring me some honor!"

...

After hanging up, in the luxurious and spacious office.

Shen Shuo propped his legs up on the table, a smile appearing on his lips.

He imagined how proud he would be in front of his counterparts from the east, west, and south regions after Meng Chuan wins the championship.

For someone of his strength and status, many other things no longer matter; the only thing left to compete for is face!

As the head of the Northern Lands, as long as it doesn't violate the company's principles.

If Meng Chuan can bring him prestige within the company, he can provide Meng Chuan with valuable resources.

Moreover, as Meng Chuan's status and attention in the company rise, his role as a benefactor will also come with substantial rewards.

So why wouldn't Shen Shuo be delighted?

This is, in fact, the traditional sense of equivalent exchange; if others have opinions.

"If you can do it, then you try..."

...

After hanging up, Meng Chuan returned to the loft, excitedly taking out the "unknown" potion.

Grandmaster Shen also assigned him a task, to come up with a name for the potion after experiencing its effects.

Coming to his senses, he looked at the dashboard.

"Doma Iron Body: Proficient (99%)"

After the recovery from the past two days, the Doma Iron Body is about to reach completion, now is the perfect time to take the potion.

Before using it, Meng Chuan once again confirmed the existence of the dragon demon in his Middle Dantian.

Its body was mostly dark, surrounded by faint red spots, appearing even more sinister than before.

He felt his tendons and bones once more, constantly feeling itchy.

Because they were undergoing subtle changes under the influence of dragon Qi.

"Next time, release the heart fire vision that engulfs the dragon demon during the physical training, and see what changes it brings to myself."

Meng Chuan's internal dragon Qi far surpassed that of the average person; he estimated that it would take about two more days to absorb completely before reaching entry level.

"Hopefully, it's the Bone Flower..."

Related to his muscle body forging plans, Meng Chuan hoped to get what he wished for.

At the same time, he needs to be cautious when reaching entry level, as Grandmaster Zhao had previously told him that the dragon demon's temptation mainly concentrates when Dragon Fall Qi enters the body and during the first entry of the cultivation technique.

Therefore, if Meng Chuan can withstand this time, he can completely become immune to the side effects of the Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body.

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan hastily arranged the Western Region Hard Skills advancement ceremony.

Sitting cross-legged before the incense, Meng Chuan drank down the potion in one gulp.

The moment the potion went down his throat, Meng Chuan felt a searing hot stream explode within him, massive energy coursing throughout his body.

At this moment, the muscles beneath his skin squirmed like lively snakes.

His bones emitted a creaking sound so sharp it made one's teeth ache, and the gray-iron colored membrane of the Doma Iron Body unexpectedly surfaced to the skin, revealing a metallic sheen under the potion's wash.

"Pretty strong..."

Meng Chuan grimaced, tightening his whole body.

What to ordinary people would be pain like ten thousand ants gnawing the heart was nothing more than a little trouble for him.

Not even half the impact of the Dragon Capturing Skill!

Due to the inherent essence of the solid-type Celestial Demon, this had been forewarned by Grandmaster Shen earlier.

Meng Chuan recited the phonetic version of the scriptures while carefully feeling the changes the potion brought to his body.

After a long while, the Doma Iron Body had already made progress.

Yet, the anticipated secondary development, the feeling of bone lengthening, was absent.

As the pain gradually diminished, Meng Chuan waited a moment, still without any occurrence taking place...

Meng Chuan lifted his arms, stretched his legs twice.

A force denser than before instantly emerged, and just by exerting strength to swing an arm, the wind it stirred soundly whistled indoors.

This potion indeed aided the Iron Body in breaking limits, but it wasn't what he most anticipated.

"Could it be because the previous multiple hard skills broke limits, the body has developed beyond standard, rendering secondary development impossible?"

At this time, the essence that promoted secondary development gradually settled, soaking into every nook and cranny of his limbs.

Simultaneously, the demonic dragon coiled in the middle dantian suddenly awoke.

Its black-red body twisted wildly, compelled by the potion's force, spewing out a few strands of crimson essence.

Soon after, just like a hyena catching the scent of carrion.

The dragon demon left the middle dantian, roaming the meridians and bones to devour the growth energy Meng Chuan's body could not absorb.

Meng Chuan sensed this scene, his expression peculiar, yet he did not interfere.

"Since I can't absorb it, might as well let it have it, maybe when the strikes come again, it can still be returned..."

Meng Chuan, like a generous employer, decided to let the dragon demon devour freely, perhaps it might yield some unexpected effects.

Where the dragon demon traversed, the essence of the potion slowly vanished.

Along with its black-red body, it visibly expanded at a noticeable speed.

Watching this situation, Meng Chuan suddenly felt like he was raising a pet...

"Eat, being able to eat is a blessing..."

After all, once the Dragon Capturing Skill is deployed, it will have to spit it out sooner or later.

Meng Chuan continued to perceive.

The speed at which the dragon demon devoured the growth energy abruptly accelerated, its black-red body inflating as if puffed by air to three times its original size, seemingly about to burst.

A moment later, the dragon demon dragged its massive body back to the middle dantian, where a sudden mutation occurred.

Meng Chuan suddenly felt a burning pain, for the dragon demon unexpectedly disintegrated its body willingly, transforming into a torrential stream of dragon qi, flooding back into his meridians and bones.

Meng Chuan's spine, like a great dragon, snapped straight in segments, and the untrained muscles and bones unexpectedly revealed cyan and gold patterns on their own.

The Dragon Fall Qi sedimented in the meridians mingled with the growth energy, forcibly locking the previously scattered dragon qi deep within the bone marrow.

At the same time, Meng Chuan saw in his sea of consciousness the panel refreshing remarkably.

[Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body: Uninitiated → Initiated (5%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Bone Flower (Intermediate)]

"Can it really be like this?"

Meng Chuan hadn't expected to enter this way, but the good news was, he was right.

His limit-breaking trait was indeed the Bone Flower.

Meng Chuan had much hope in his precautions against the Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill now!

"The next step is to thoroughly break the limit of the Armor Technique, and obtain the Flesh Flower trait.

If the Flesh Flower controls flesh and skin, Bone Flower controls muscles and bones, to completely seal the Thunder Seed, further control over qi and blood is needed.

The Blood Flower, huh..."

Meng Chuan mused while observing the panel.

The energy returned by the dragon demon was not yet fully digested, still infused with dragon qi, boring deep into the bone seams.

Currently, the proficiency on the panel for Dragon Lock Body jumped once every half minute.

Before he could relish the thought, a peculiar idea suddenly surfaced in Meng Chuan's mind.

"I really want to find someone to practice Doma Iron Crotch in a real fight..."

Meng Chuan panted heavily like an ox, quickly stabilizing his heart spirit before realizing.

"Not good! The dragon demon's enticing desire effect has taken hold."

At this moment, the dragon demon within his middle dantian was equally erratic.

Like an arrow leaving the string, it burst out, wanting to tunnel to Meng Chuan's pelvic region, seemingly intending to take control...

Meng Chuan, while managing qi and blood to besiege the dragon demon, hurriedly called Zhao Shousui.

Quickly recounting the situation, Meng Chuan heard a voice from the other end of the phone:

[Perhaps the body's potential at the Martial Artist stage has been exhausted by your multiple hard skills. If you don't need your muscles and bones, the dragon demon benefits from it.

It has already fed on your mental imagery before, filling itself, and with such abundant energy gathering, the dragon demon's greed knows no bounds, naturally, it won't let go.]

Meng Chuan chuckled bitterly:

[Grandmaster Zhao, what should I do now? Since awakening the Dragon Lock Body, my desire seems stirred and somewhat uncontrollable.]

[What desire?]

Embarrassed, Meng Chuan replied:

[Similar to Wang Ye...]
