Chapter 293: Consecutive Limit Breaking, A System Begins to Form!
In the blink of an eye, time has reached mid-May.
During this period, the land of San Qin has returned to calm, and the reconstruction work in Chen Cang is nearing completion.
But outside the Northern Lands, the other three regions each experienced varying intensities of Demon Nest uprisings.
Especially the southern coast, where a level four Demon Nest was recently born on the surrounding islands.
Before Great Chu could seal off the Demon Nest's entrance, its Demon Nest Master recklessly initiated a demonic calamity.
However, the world's foremost man, [Heaven Tilting Great Saint · Zhao Linyuan], is precisely the one responsible for guarding Great Chu's coast.
So before it could make any waves, it was forcefully suppressed by Zhao Dasheng alone.
A terrifying level four Demon Nest was utterly obliterated.
Following this event, many media outlets reported extensively, praising the feat of suppressing the Demon Nest.
They acclaimed him as "Fists tilting the four seas, awe-inspiring across eight lands," with Martial Arts Cultivation infinitely close to the eighth big limit, truly worthy of being the pinnacle of contemporary martial arts supremacy.
"The eighth big limit..."
Since Meng Chuan entered the Martial Arts Family, he took advantage of his free time to specially make up some pertinent materials regarding the eight major limitations of the human body.
After studying and summarizing, he gained even more respect for these top-tier strongmen known by name.
Breaking through every limitation of the human body is an ultimate challenge against one's limits.
To be able to break seven limits consecutively and ascend to Martial Arts Great Saint is to single-handedly be the absolute pinnacle of the current age.
If the eighth limit were to be broken...
Meng Chuan concluded, this ultimate realm's designation must certainly be Martial Arts God.
[Martial God]!
He puts away his phone, eyes cast outwards towards the gradually dimming twilight.
He takes a deep breath, feeling the surge within of merging Qi Blood and Spiritual Power.
"The eighth big limit... One day, I must also ascend to such a realm."
...
Breathing regulated, he continues practicing fist skills.
In the courtyard, Meng Chuan's fist path rises like wolf smoke, the fist stance unfixed and elusive.
Under the penetrating power granted by the essence of wood, each style creates a vacuum area in the air.
Next moment, three indistinct smoke marks fall onto a giant rock.
Cracks like corrosion extend inch by inch along the rock's veins.
[Fengyan Fist: Perfection (98%) → Perfection (100%) Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking trait acquired: Phantom Trace (Low-level)]
Accompanied by a slight emergence of Qi Blood from within, Meng Chuan casually absorbs it.
Immediately afterwards, he doesn't inspect the trait action on the panel.
Fist path changes in hand, with footwork mysterious, fist sharpness flickers like candlelight.
"There's still one Candle Shadow Step Punch left, a swift breakthrough, break both doors at once!"
Meng Chuan is indeed somewhat stimulated by the news just now, he very much wants to improve.
Zhao Dasheng is about to become Zhao Wushen, and he is still here meandering.
More practice, more practice is necessary!
Darkness settles in completely, Meng Chuan's mysterious steps blend in this deep night with the surrounding environment, highlighting one another.
Time flows, as fists shadows and steps fully integrate.
Punch light like candle flame draws winding paths in the darkness, elusive like specters.
Should someone attempt, following Meng Chuan's fist path trajectory to block, they'd find the indistinct path hard to discern.
A punch seemingly aimed directly at the face, is actually sliding towards the chest and abdomen.
The fist path trajectory of [Candle Shadow Step Punch] is like candlelight in mist, quickly disappearing.
Blockers often make futile interceptions, mocked by subsequent strange moves, ultimately defeated in bewilderment.
With the true essence of this technique obtained, even compared to its creator, it has already surpassed the original.
Meng Chuan glances at the panel, after two hours of intense practice, the last 10% proficiency is completely perfected.
[Candle Shadow Step Punch: Perfection (100%) Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking trait acquired: Shadow Eclipse (Low-level)]
Function one: Chaos Shadow, upon striking, can momentarily create residual shadow of Qi syncing with the body's action to disrupt opponent's judgment, dissipating after 0.3 seconds.
Function two: Concealment, during dimly-lit combat state, movement speed increases by 5%. Also reduces sound from footsteps, rustling clothes, etc.
Meng Chuan takes a cursory glance, he's lost the gamble.
Lost a miserable defeat...
It was carefully chosen from many third-rate Fire Attribute fists.
Unexpectedly, the trait is so lackluster...
The first function is purely for show, very powerful at Martial Artist stage.
Residual shadow and body striking together can interfere with opponents effectively, very useful.
However, Martial Arts Family can already use [Divine] to perceive.
Not to mention residual shadow, even with the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, it's just a trick.
And the second function purely an appendage, only a 5% movement speed increase, also with two fatal constraints of dimness and specified combat state...
Unwillingly he looks again, Meng Chuan completely gives up.
It's safe to say this Shadow Eclipse trait was purely doomed for feeding the [Five Elements Qiankun Technique].
He can only comfort himself:
"Percentage increase, in the future when I achieve Martial Arts Great Saint, this 5% speed will be enough to clinch victory!"
At least it's rare to have what others don't, this wave... still takes off!
Afterwards, Meng Chuan continues to browse today's first Limit Broken [Phantom Trace] trait.
"These two traits sound awfully similar, can't be the same kind, right..."
Meng Chuan anxiously checks, takes a deep breath, focuses intently.
[Trait: Phantom Trace (Low-level)]
Function one: Qi Confusion, during rapid movement, dispersed Qi Blood around forms smaller disruptive fluctuations naturally.
Function two: Strange Step Linking, can swiftly capture transition nodes between different steps, enhancing fluidity during body technique conversion, reducing Qi Blood loss during linkage.
Both functions sound quite convoluted.
Meng Chuan furrowed his brow and studied for a while, realizing that just looking was always like seeing a flower through mist, unclear.
He still needed to personally experiment a bit.
Meng Chuan lightly tapped his foot, and his figure suddenly accelerated.
With the dispersal of the Qi Blood forming subtle ripples, it interfered with the surrounding air currents like ripples.
While moving across the courtyard, he attempted to link different footwork.
His ankle slightly lifted, and Meng Chuan flashed to appear two feet away from his original position.
Before even standing still, he turned his foot and shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.
Through the Inch Step transition to Eight Steps to Catching a Cicada, he realized that momentary sluggishness was significantly reduced, flowing smoothly like clouds and water.
After standing firm, Meng Chuan pondered internally:
"Not bad, this trait may not have enhanced my comprehension, but the boost it provides for my actual combat is significant.
The first application utilizes the already dissipated Qi Blood to disturb a martial arts family's perception of air currents, truly making use of waste.
The latter is more crucial, as a momentary foot snag in battle can be fatal.
Overall, it is much stronger than the Shadow Erosion trait, which is basically worthless."
Until finally, he couldn't resist pulling out the Limit Breaking trait of Candle Shadow Step Fist for a good thrashing...
Though they are both low-level traits, their effects are worlds apart.
Meng Chuan shook his head, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Later, when practicing other third-rate fist skills, it's better not to expect too much.
"My purpose in practicing these fist skills is to enhance the proficiency of the Five Elements Qiankun Technique, advancing to Five Qi Chaoyuan.
Their low-level traits are merely secondary, and the boost from Five Qi Chaoyuan advancing to the second stage far surpasses ten or eight of these lame traits..."
Thinking to this point, Meng Chuan opened Five Qi Chaoyuan.
With anticipation, he dragged these two traits into the five-color disc below.
He received a notification in his mind, and the proficiency of the Five Elements Qiankun Technique was gradually increasing.
Feeling the continuously increasing martial arts rationale in his mind, Meng Chuan started practicing the Five Elements Fist on the spot.
Time flew by, and Meng Chuan's feeling for the Five Elements became more profound.
Unconsciously, half an hour had passed.
Accompanied by a "ding" sound, the fusion was completed.
Meng Chuan withdrew the intense Five Elements True Qi from his palm and looked at the panel.
[Five Elements Qiankun Technique: One Limit Breaking (60%)→(80%)]
Seeing the 20% proficiency increase, Meng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As before, each low-level trait provided a 10% proficiency increase, without raising the difficulty as it approached Limit Breaking.
Next, Meng Chuan tried a round of boxing again.
Because there was no mental method present, he could not obtain Qi Blood.
However, when Meng Chuan performed the enhanced Five Elements Qiankun Technique, each move had significantly greater power.
Moreover, he distinctly felt that through the conversion of internal breathing, the Five Elements True Qi had become a bit more intense.
"Just two more low-level traits, and the proficiency of the Five Elements Fist's one Limit Breaking can be perfected. By then, Five Qi Chaoyuan can advance."
If nothing unexpected happens, by the end of June or the beginning of July at the latest.
By then, he could experience the power of the second stage's core traits.
In addition, Meng Chuan also had a bold conjecture.
With each Limit Breaking, the Five Elements Qiankun Technique might someday rival genuine divine skill.
"Keep practicing boxing, with the panel here, everything is possible..."
Meng Chuan understood one thing, that with continuous Limit Breaking, his martial arts path had started "mutating".
Becoming utterly different from others...
Imaginary worlds, vital energy body refinement, along with various unconventional cultivation techniques.
He rooted himself in the Qi Blood Martial Arts Era, continuously absorbing nutrients, gradually integrating it into himself.
Combining countless traits, he gradually embarked on a new martial arts system, unprecedented.
Currently, Meng Chuan's martial arts rationale was shallow, unable to summarize this martial arts system yet.
Daydreaming time ended, breathing adjusted.
Meng Chuan simply began practicing all the remaining three borrowed fist skills together.
Forty minutes later, on the panel.
[Red Sand Palm: Beginner (1%) pending Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking trait: Burning Scar (Low Level)]
[Boiling Fist Foundation...]
[Boiling Sound (Low Level)]
[Scorched Tail Twelve Style...]
[Scorched (Low Level)]
After entering the beginner level, Meng Chuan was content.
Thinking too much is useless, just grind on!
...
The next morning.
Meng Chuan had just finished practicing boxing when his phone received two deposit messages consecutively.
[Ending in 8085, bank card**** received eight million yuan (Note: Chen Cang Municipal)]
[Ending in 8085, bank card**** received ten million yuan (Note: Short Video Platform Transfer)]
"Almost forgot about this matter..."
Meng Chuan glanced at the balance again, his personal funds had reached 45 million.
The newly acquired eighteen million, the former was the bonus for the Chen Cang Demon Nest riot incident.
Due to the large number of participants, the staff took a long time to analyze via the Skynet system before finally giving him the maximum reward.
The latter ten million was the profit from paid video valued at 10 yuan each on the short video platform.
He set it to automatically transfer at ten million; it seems that over twenty days, a hundred thousand people have paid to watch.
Putting away his phone, Meng Chuan sighed to himself:
"Teaching courses indeed makes more money. Working hard in Chen Cang earned less than lying down and collecting money from short videos..."
