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

Lu Zhuxiao then remembered that Meng Chuan was a body refinement fanatic...

"I have a friend who teaches Martial Arts in the big classes and is just like you, a body refinement enthusiast. I'll ask if he has time to teach you."

"Thank you, Master Lu."

Meng Chuan was grateful, as having a personal introduction was obviously better than finding someone on his own.

The Martial Arts big class is the martial arts theory class for all the normal students.

Usually taught by third-limit level teachers, there are two mandatory hours of class every day, and you can't be late or leave early.

In this regard, the Grandmaster Class is undoubtedly more flexible. Even the classes taught by a Martial Arts Grandmaster can be skipped at will...

Talents receive special treatment everywhere—that's completely normal.

After Lu Zhuxiao left, Meng Chuan began practicing on his own.

True Dragon Hall also has silicon pillars, which he enjoyed practicing with.

"Let's go, time to eat."

Xu Qingfeng's fist skill instructor had left a while ago, and seeing Meng Chuan finish his breathing exercises, he approached and spoke.

"Alright."

...

"Ah, comfortable~"

At night, Meng Chuan soaked naked in the backyard pool, gazing up at the vast starlit sky, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

His entire body gradually relaxed as it soaked in the hot spring.

This was also one of the hidden benefits of the Grandmaster Class, something normal students didn't have.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Demon also stretched out its large head, resting it lazily on a large rock by the edge.

It wasn't causing any trouble, so Meng Chuan didn't bother with it. He planned to deal with it once it was time to set things straight.

As he was thinking, his phone, placed by the poolside, rang. He evaporated the water from his hand and picked up to answer.

[What's up, Master Lu?]

On the other end of the line, Lu Zhuxiao laughed and said:

[I discussed your situation with my friend, and he wants you to visit him at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow.]

[Thank you so much!]

[My friend's name is "Steel Spear General·Dong Yue," and like me, he loves spear fighting. Be respectful when you meet him.]

[...]

[What's the matter?]

Lu Zhuxiao didn't hear any response from Meng Chuan and thought there might be a signal issue.

[Nothing, Master Lu, I understand.]

After hanging up, Meng Chuan noted down the address Lu Zhuxiao sent him, his expression complicated.

The title of Master Dong reminded him of some unpleasant things...

...

Early the next morning, Meng Chuan received 150 study points in his account.

He checked the teaching rates of various teachers on the school forum.

For a Martial Arts Master like the Steel Spear General, learning fist skills costs two study points per hour, while a normal two-limit teacher only requires one study point.

But he couldn't find the specific price for hard skills training because no one would be extravagant enough to spend study points on hard skills like him...

Meng Chuan had a foreboding feeling that sparring sessions, which are much more arduous than teaching fist skills, would definitely be more expensive.

His monthly 150 study points would probably be stretched thin.

"Still, I must persist. Endure a little longer, and as a Martial Arts Family member, there won't be any more sparring."

Even though Meng Chuan felt pained about spending study points, he had no choice.

The importance of hard skills to him was self-evident, and he had to spend study points where necessary.

He could use cash for meals, and he didn't need to spend a penny on fist skills as long as he had his master and Master Lu.

Thus, currently, his only expense was sparring, and if he ran out of study points, he'd have to figure something out by then.

Coming back to his senses, he was just about to start practicing his fist skills.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan received a call from Mr. Shen of Vast Sea.

[Xiaomeng, the compensation I applied for you has arrived. It's the core of a middle-rank Celestial Demon. It's already sent to your home; remember to pick it up when you go down the mountain next time.]

It had to be sent to his home because no courier company was willing to deliver to the middle of the mountain...

Meng Chuan showed a surprised expression, as he had previously obtained a so-called core.

Back then, he was still on the sixth level and had slain a lower-rank Shadow Demon. Its core was purchased by the police for 700,000.

He understood the middle-rank Celestial Demon the other party mentioned. It was something that matched a Martial Arts Family, and this core was undoubtedly expensive.

[Thank you, Mr. Shen. This item is valuable, and you are too kind.]

[Hahaha, look at you. Here you go again. This is compensation I specially requested for you from the company. Once you get it, whether to sell or use it is up to you.]

...

In the afternoon, during Lu Zhuxiao's lesson, he noticed Meng Chuan's significant improvement; the issues he pointed out yesterday had been addressed.

He couldn't help but nod in approval, finding it really convenient to have Meng Chuan as a student.

He didn't see the elderly long-bearded man in black next to him, scolding his disciple Xu Qingfeng relentlessly...

Meng Chuan learned the reason afterward, and his evaluation was that the scolding was well-deserved.

Xu Qingfeng had overslept during his nap, making his fist skill master wait in the hall for over an hour...

Coming back to his senses, during a breathing interval, Meng Chuan shared his concerns about study points with Lu Zhuxiao for advice.

"Xiaomeng, besides doing missions, there's only this one other way left.

Within our Northern United University, there are both Martial Artist and Martial Arts Family double rankings, which are shared rankings that include the main campus and all branch campuses.

The first is called Earth Demon, while the second is Celestial Spirits. The rankings are given by the school's observation committee, based on everyone's strength, potential, and other comprehensive qualities, excluding martial arts grandmasters and above.

Your teacher is also on the Celestial Spirits List, ranking 99th, which is considered a gatekeeper level..."

Meng Chuan had previously understood from the two lists, which only included the top hundred individuals.

In the Northern United University filled with strong individuals, it was impressive that Master Lu could make it into the Celestial List.

The Earth Demon List was similar; counting the main campus, only the top hundred students across more than a dozen branches could make it onto the list.

Therefore, it can be said that it is the exclusive ranking list for the Grandmaster Class students of each campus.

"Xiaomeng, once the observation committee completes the assessment of your comprehensive qualities, you will surely ascend the Earth Demon List, without a doubt.

By then, there will be a certain amount of study points distributed every month, which can alleviate some of the pressure."

In Lu Zhuxiao's heart, Meng Chuan is the man destined to achieve the Martial Extreme True Inheritance.

The mere Earth Demon List is just like a bus—ride it if you want...

Meng Chuan nodded, this way the financial pressure for training expenses would be significantly reduced.

But he didn't know when the observation committee would complete the assessment.

He had just seen that Chu Yanhu, who he had easily defeated, was ranked 21st. He would only be ranked higher than that.

...

At 9 o'clock the next morning.

Following the address given by Lu Zhuxiao, Meng Chuan arrived as promised.

The dormitory address of "Spear Master" was located in the rear mountains of Huaqing Pool, where Meng Chuan saw a familiar figure next door.

Chen Jingyi was practicing her fist skill in yoga clothes, and the identity of the woman next to her was self-evident.

"Jade Belt Cyan Simurgh·Luo Meng"

She seemed to sense someone watching and looked up, finding it to be none other than Meng Chuan.

Chen Jingyi had already told her about the events at the True Dragon Pavilion the other day.

This young man had established a foundation as the number one in the Grandmaster Class upon arrival, such talent...

"So stubborn..."

She couldn't help but shake her head, thinking she had already explained everything, not wanting to waste more words.

Having practiced Thunder Magic, it was all self-inflicted consequences.

Luo Meng turned back without concern, continuing to teach Chen Jingyi martial arts.

"Martial arts aren't about speed; only when Martial Arts Families practice true skills in the future can they truly reveal the watershed. Put in some effort, surpassing Meng Chuan isn't that hard."

"Ah... yes, I understand, Master."

Chen Jingyi was lost in thought, suddenly responding as she heard Master's words.

...

Meng Chuan didn't think about anything else, after knocking on the door and waiting for a moment, he heard the thumping sounds of heavy footsteps from inside.

Soon after, the door opened.

A long-haired brawny man with a similar build to his own, perhaps even a bit taller, appeared at the door.

His physique was tall and robust, with golden hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a small vest of gold and green on his upper body.

Although there was no visible aura, he didn't dare underestimate him; this was a Martial Arts strongman of the third limit.

But Meng Chuan couldn't help but feel a tingle at the corner of his mouth, his Adam's apple moving.

Because "Spear Master·Dong Yue," in this outfit, looked too much like "Aquaman" from his previous life's movies...

Dong Yue didn't notice his expression, as he seemed quite satisfied with Meng Chuan's appearance, nodding while giving him a once-over.

"You must be Lu Zhuxiao's student, Meng Chuan?"

"Yes, hello, Teacher Dong."

"Come in first, let's sit down and talk."

Inside the room, it was somewhat messy, with several empty beer bottles casually placed on the table.

Clearly, there was no woman keeping house inside.

"This is just my single-person dormitory, so it's quite casual."

Dong Yue shrugged and turned back to explain.

Meng Chuan nodded, these things didn't matter, as long as the training methods were enough.

"Looking at your build, you're a natural for Body Refinement. Tell me, what hard skills have you practiced."

After speaking, Dong Yue handed Meng Chuan a can of beer, then opened one for himself and drank it in one go.

Meng Chuan imitated him, finishing the drink in one gulp, then honestly told him everything he had practiced.

Dong Yue listened in dismay, thinking, damn it... enrolled in Shaolin, stole some techniques from Wudang, and then transferred to United University?

Having no time to watch any Supernova tournaments, he was unaware of Meng Chuan's specifics.

After Meng Chuan finished listing everything, he asked with a strange expression:

"You've practiced so many, how many hours of training do you need daily?"

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and then said:

"Teacher Dong, my practice is indeed quite diverse, I need four hours of Dragon Capturing Skill every three days, and the remaining two days combine training of four skills with normal practice, totaling two hours."

Dong Yue immediately had a headache as he needed to teach regular classes and was sprinting toward becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, with not much time to spare.

"This..."

Meng Chuan saw his hesitation and said sincerely:

"Teacher Dong, I will certainly progress to the Martial Arts Family level by next year, by then I won't trouble you anymore."

Dong Yue perceived his Qi Blood as indeed vigorous, and after hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly agreed, considering Lu Zhuxiao's relationship.

"Alright, I do know the Dragon Capturing Skill, but do you have enough study points? My hard skills training costs twice as much as learning fist skills, at four points per hour, you might want to reconsider."

Meng Chuan quickly did the calculations, every month, the Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body would cost 160 points, and the remaining four skills would also take 160 points, totaling 320...

"No, I must find Brother Gang for private sessions, it's way too expensive..."

Dong Yue saw his thoughts and said:

"You're a Grandmaster Class student, right? The cost of learning fist skills is halved according to the regulations, and this applies to training as well."

Meng Chuan's eyes lit up, then each month would be 160 points.

He said:

"Teacher Dong, in that case, I'll trouble you a bit, I'll round it up to 200 points for you."

He had already planned that when he went home to visit his uncle and aunt each month, he could take on one or two outside assignments related to Yong'an City.

The best would be tasks against Demon Path Martial Artists, as he had plenty of experience dealing with those guys...

(Word count not charged, PS reminder: As for Celestial Demon grades, lower Celestial Demon corresponds to Martial Artist levels nine and below.

Middle Rank first limit. Upper Rank second limit. Celestial Demon Master "Demon Nest Master" strength varies, depending on the Demon Nest level, from Three-Limit Martial Arts Master to ???)
