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

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenyue took the opportunity to invite:

"Xiaomeng, would you like to stay in our department and join the research institute?

With your talent, you are destined to become a leading figure in the Five Elements Fist field.

As for the school transfer, you don't need to worry. I will speak with Yang Huan.

In terms of seniority, I am his martial uncle, so there's nothing to worry about."

"..."

Meng Chuan looked troubled and finally politely declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor Li, but I still have my master, family, and affairs to handle at the Yong'an branch school.

I'm truly unable to split my efforts, but should there be a chance to collaborate in the future, I will surely give my all."

Li Zhenyue's expression froze briefly, and he said with slight regret:

"No problem, you are always welcome to exchange ideas."

Previously, Meng Chuan dared not directly refuse a Martial Arts Venerable.

But now he is someone with a "status," just declining an invitation isn't a big issue.

Li Zhenyue wasn't a narrow-minded person, and the two of them started discussing the martial theories related to the Five Elements Fist, getting more and more enthusiastic as they talked.

Finally, Li Zhenyue switched the topic to Meng Chuan practicing the Five Elements Qiankun Fist and cultivating True Qi.

"The Five Elements Qiankun Fist was originally created by King Qin Xiang and optimized by me. I am very familiar with its nature.

If you can cultivate True Qi, you must have made further improvements between the Five Qi of the Viscera and the Fountainhead internal breath. Am I right?"

"... Impressive, why didn't I think of that."

Meng Chuan pondered secretly and then laughed as he spoke:

"Something like that, I guess. Coincidences led me here, as I'm not very understanding of the martial theories involved."

Li Zhenyue continued to laugh and said:

"Hmm... what you said about the real world might indeed have a significant relation.

Qi Blood martial arts are just at the starting stage; such 'abnormal' phenomena are not rare, so don't dwell too much on it."

"I understand, Professor."

With Li Zhenyue's guidance, Meng Chuan also gained much inspiration regarding the Five Elements Fist.

At the same time, he shared his personal martial theories about the Five Elements with him.

He only omitted content related to the panel and Five Qi Chaoyuan.

After listening to Meng Chuan's insights, Li Zhenyue sighed inwardly:

"Truly a good seedling for practicing the Five Elements Fist, indeed gifted beyond words..."

Finally, his expression turned, and he clapped his hands and laughed heartily:

"Excellent, do you remember I mentioned some time ago a True Skill Fist technique that you would surely find interesting?"

"Yes, Professor, I remember."

Meng Chuan felt a wave of interest; is he about to hit the jackpot?

It seems today's harvest isn't without its benefits...

But then Li Zhenyue continued:

"Then tell me, what fist technique does the Five Elements Qiankun Fist perform using the Qi of Heart Fire?"

Without hesitation, Meng Chuan replied:

"It performs the Melt Core Flame Burst Fist; when the Five Elements are mastered, merely the fist wind can stir up a high temperature of a thousand degrees..."

These were precisely Master Luo Guanyun's words at the time, and now Meng Chuan could almost achieve it using the True Qi of the Five Elements of Fire.

Li Zhenyue nodded with satisfaction:

"Hahaha, correct!

The Five Elements Qiankun Fist is indeed a top-level fist technique, but our institute has also penetrated the essence of the fire attribute it contains.

In the end, we derived a True Skill Level fire attribute fist technique from a thunder attribute True Skill Fist called 'Five Thunderstrikes on the Head.'

Because of its connection with the Five Elements Qiankun Fist, we directly named it 'Melt Core Flame Burst Fist.'

Back then, when King Qin Xiang created this fist, he lacked a method to channel fire attribute True Qi through it.

After my improvement, using the Heart Fire as a guide, internal breath is transformed and condensed into a melt core. The fist strikes like a volcanic eruption, and it hits with unmatched fierceness."

"Incredible, Professor, I am impressed!"

After Meng Chuan digested this, Li Zhenyue continued:

"That day in the competition between you and Motohiko, I also noticed that you've cultivated a thunder attribute fist technique, right?"

"Professor, you are discerning; I cultivate the 'Scattering Thunder Hand,' which was taught by my master."

Li Zhenyue nodded and said:

"Then the principle of Heart Fire guiding Thunder you surely understand, but you must know, thunder can strike wood and generate fire.

In the martial theories of our Five Elements Fist, it is precisely the interaction between thunder and fire, which is already involved in the mutual transformation principle of the Five Elements.

The True Skill Melt Core Flame Burst Fist employs the explosive nature of thunder to ignite the Heart Fire, and then...

If you could stay for further study, your understanding of the Five Elements theory would certainly be greatly enhanced. Alas..."

As Professor Li painted an appealing picture, Meng Chuan remained unmoved, only managing a wry smile.

At the same time, he was somewhat surprised that this is how modern martial arts are created?

Indeed, it's not something an ordinary martial artist can comprehend, lucky that he didn't stubbornly research before.

But listening to what the other said, he suddenly felt his own related martial theories have made considerable progress.

"One must first borrow and integrate, then thoroughly master the existing fists of the 'same category,' to find a unique path..."

Seeing that Meng Chuan remained indifferent, Li Zhenyue decisively handed him the bait.

With a wave of his hand, a booklet with dozens of pages appeared in his hand.

Meng Chuan focused slightly, realizing it was the same technique used by Principal Sui earlier.

"This is the means of storage that forms its own circle under the starry sky..."

Seeing that the other handed the booklet to him, Meng Chuan understood.

"This is the complete content of the Melt Core Flame Burst Fist. You can take it to study; consider it my reward for your Martial Extreme True Inheritance.

In our line of Five Elements martial theories, it's not easy to produce a genius. Should you have any questions later, feel free to communicate with me."

"Thank you, Professor Li!"

Meng Chuan was inwardly delighted; indeed, this gain was worthwhile.

"I've just gone over the main points with you. Take another look, and if there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain one or two things to you on the spot."

After speaking, Professor Li Zhanyue fell silent, sitting quietly on the side and waiting.

On the surface, everything was calm and tranquil, but internally, his thoughts were surging.

"In the real world, the golden eye in the sky...

That child is indeed extraordinary, otherwise, why would those eyes seek him out and not someone else?

If this child can master the [Incomplete Version] of Flame Burst Fist I've given him, it will truly prove his talent in the Five Elements. At that time..."

As he was pondering, he was interrupted by Meng Chuan's voice.

He closed the cultivation technique and continued to request:

"Professor Li, could you also lend me [Five Thunder Strikes] for study?

I wish to draw parallels to better cultivate the Flame Burst Fist..."

Meng Chuan understood that these strong individuals, apart from those who truly cared for him, were all cunning as old foxes.

There's no such thing as an unwarranted favor, especially since he had just refused the other party.

Professor Li's attitude clearly indicated he had something to ask of him, so...

The passive skill "Beat the snake to make it coil on the rod" activated!

"..."

Li Zhanyue, after a moment of silence, slowly said:

"Okay, but I can only lend it to you for about a year.

[Five Thunder Strikes] is precious, an original intermediate True Skill fist technique from ancient martial arts, far more valuable than a copied version.

Even in the entire United University, the numbers of such are few, and it's an important reference for our research institute.

Take good care of it and return it on time."

He, after a brief thought, agreed to this request.

Just right to make an agreement with Meng Chuan for about a year's time.

By then, through the incomplete version of Flame Burst Fist, he could gauge his talent and consider the next steps.

Meng Chuan's data, he had it all here, with what Primordial Spirit Thunder techniques he practiced, asking for [Five Thunder Strikes] made sense indeed.

Moments later, Li Zhanyue had someone send over the original of [Five Thunder Strikes].

Meng Chuan received it with repeated gratitude.

Li Zhanyue finally waved his hand and said:

"Most intermediate fist techniques are obscure and difficult to understand, focus primarily on the Flame Burst Fist, and refer to this one sparingly."

For this Thunder Attribute True Skill fist technique, Li Zhanyue didn't offer much explanation.

He didn't have the leisure to teach these [useless] fist skills.

"Understood, thank you, Professor Li!"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, we'll end here today. Remember our agreement, about a year."

"Meng Chuan understands."

...

Saying goodbye and returning to the school hotel, Meng Chuan found his master to study these two techniques together.

"You brat, you're really a sneaky one..."

Luo Guanyun sighed holding the [Five Thunder Strikes].

True Skill fist techniques with Thunder Attribute are already scarce, let alone such non-copied original intermediate true skills.

Their value is equal to that of secret techniques.

"Master, you take it to study first. I don't plan on practicing this technique for now."

Luo Guanyun felt warmth in his heart, his disciple still thought of him...

But he couldn't even mobilize the Thunder Seed, so having this thing was of no use...

"You keep it for practice, even if you don't cultivate it immediately, get into its essence within a year.

Later on, at Yong'an Campus's Hidden Martial Pavilion, seek a copied version for practice, it's no problem."

Upon hearing his master's explanation, Meng Chuan nodded silently.

In first to third-rate ordinary fist skills, the difference between originals and copies might not be obvious.

But at the True Skill level, unless you're a top genius in this path, it's very difficult to master True Skill from a copied version.

Because the copied versions lack the most crucial part, which is the [Martial Arts True Essence].

Just like the rarity of the Beast King Map in Elephant Form.

If Xingyi Sect Martial Artists could easily train from any True Skill they copied from the internet.

How could today's martial arts landscape be that Elephant Form thrives while Xingyi slightly declines?

The [original] martial arts, especially ancient ones, contain original mental realms.

They hide the true essence, allowing martial arts families to more easily grasp the essence and trigger special insights during practice.

He can only borrow it for more than a year and can't waste the entire time on this technique alone.

Instead, it would delay the cultivation of Daoist mind techniques and Qi Blood, just getting initiated is fine.

Coming to realization, Meng Chuan let his master help him examine another Fire Attribute fist technique.

After a rough scan, Luo Guanyun opened his mouth:

"A low-level True Skill fist technique, feeling... I don't sense much... you practice it and will know."

Luo Guanyun never pretended to understand things he wasn't good at.

A person's energy is limited, if one wishes to ascend in limited life, one must discern priorities.

From the time he advanced as a member of a martial arts family, all research on True Skills switched to the [Thunder Attribute].

At most, it was to suppress the Thunder Seed subsequently, researching some Water Attribute True Skills.

For the grade of Fire Attribute True Skills, he indeed wasn't adept, related martial theories were just outlines.

Not mentioning it saved Meng Chuan from confusion in judgment.

Hearing his master's words, Meng Chuan nodded in agreement.

Five Thunder Strikes, after master's inspection, had no problems.

For the remaining technique, he thought Professor Li probably won't...

Give him a trick with this fist technique just because he won't join his research institute.

Even if one takes many steps back, whether there's a problem or not, once it passes through the panel, the truth will be revealed.

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan continued with today's mind technique cultivation.
