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

Meng Chuan nodded and smiled, seeing the call connect, he started conversing with Chu Yanlong on the other end.

[Congratulations, Chief Meng, you were impressive during the duel with Motohiko, boosting Yong'an campus's reputation!]

On the other end, Chu Yanlong watched the entire live broadcast with the Grandmaster Class from the Yong'an campus during the headquarters' anniversary.

At that time, when Meng Chuan transformed, the whole venue was exclaiming in amazement, but he only smiled knowingly.

Fortunately, he witnessed it and must thank the counterpart, or he wouldn't have earned so many credits.

[You're too kind, Brother Chu, just wondering, are you short of credits?]

[I was going to mention it, thanks to our sparring back then, I made an all-in bet...]

[Hahaha, that's because you believed in me, you deserve it, it has nothing to do with me.]

After chatting for a while, they finally brought up serious matters, Chu Yanlong said:

[Brother Meng, are you looking to sell some credits for cash urgently?]

[Yes, it's quite urgent, I need it today.]

On the other end, after a moment of thought, Chu Yanlong said:

[How about I lend you some first? Credits are valuable, you can repay me with cash later.]

He and his brother also come from a wealthy family, so they have some confidence in financial resources.

[No need, Brother Chu, I need a billion now, see how many credits are appropriate, and I'll transfer them to you.]

Meng Chuan doesn't have the habit of borrowing money from others, when he lacks credits, he earns them.

Chu Yanlong tried to convince him twice without success, and finally laughed:

[Then, Brother Meng, just transfer five thousand credits to me.]

Privately, the exchange rate of credits to money at United University is roughly around 1 credit equals about 13,000.

This fluctuates above and below this value depending on market trends.

After all, there are always talented martial artists from impoverished backgrounds trying to sell some credits to support their families.

Hence, although the school expressly prohibits the trading of credits.

They don't delve deeply into the matter, as long as it's not done openly.

To be admitted into one of the nation's strongest special Martial Universities, any student could potentially be the dark horse in the martial arts journey.

The official approach of United University is to show respect to those who have fought with both fists to break through poverty.

Meng Chuan didn't even calculate it, realizing he benefited from Chu Yanlong.

He doesn't want to owe anyone a favor.

[Make it eight thousand, Brother Chu, just follow the market price.]

[No need, it's thanks to you that I won so many credits, just make it five thousand, let's consider ourselves even.]

With the other party saying it like that, Meng Chuan candidly accepted.

Without owing a favor, anything is negotiable...

When Meng Chuan saw the alert message on his phone, he realized how quickly Chu Yanlong acted, probably handling it as soon as he mentioned it.

[Thanks, Brother Chu, I'm boarding now, we'll have a good spar when I return to Lishan Mountain.]

[Hahaha, great! As long as you don't transform, anything is negotiable!]

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan looked at the nine figures in his account.

Though it would soon vanish, he couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

After 18 years of struggle, before turning 19, he became a "billionaire"...

...

Returning to long-lost Yong'an, stepping onto his homeland soil, Meng Chuan felt incredibly at ease.

The headquarters is good, but Yong'an is his true home.

With Luo Guanyun gone these few days, the dojo had accumulated quite a few affairs to handle.

After saying goodbye to his disciples, he flew straight to Infinite Square.

Meng Chuan bid farewell to his master, first returning home to visit his parents.

Seeing that his uncle and aunt were eating and sleeping well during his absence, he felt relieved.

Meng Yongzhi looked at Meng Chuan whose presence was increasingly intense, and exclaimed:

"Chuan'er, as long as you become more formidable, we don't understand all that Martial Extreme True Inheritance.

Your uncle and aunt just hope you won't get hurt and protect yourself.

You martial artists are meant to vanquish Celestial Demons, you must..."

Listening to his uncle's ramblings, Meng Chuan held their arms and infused a trace of wood attribute True Qi to check their health.

Wood attribute specializes in penetration, plus when it doesn't exert exertion, it's as gentle as the wind, making it most suitable for inspection.

After a brief moment, Meng Chuan smiled brightly.

His uncle and aunt's bodies were akin to that of robust individuals in their thirties.

He pondered to himself:

"It seems that the anti-aging needle procured from Vast Sea truly works..."

One injection costing three million slows the aging process, lasting three to five years, allowing him to only need to check their health occasionally.

Future anti-aging injections will be periodically renewed, according to the [Dawn Departure] agreement signed with Vast Sea.

He has an annual free usage limit of ten million worth of Vast Sea products.

This isn't much, even without this limit, he could afford it.

Before heading to the dojo to practice boxing, Meng Chuan transferred two million for his aunt's household use.

His aunt Xue Na approved taking out sixty thousand when he was at his lowest, enabling him to attend the dojo for martial arts training.

His fate began to change upon engaging with his master at Infinite Martial Arts Dojo...

That night.

Meng Chuan stared at the auction page on the Martial Arts Association's online store, feeling somewhat excited.

This was his first time participating in an auction, watching the eight-digit figures continuously roll by, his finger hovering over the screen ready to bid, slightly trembling.

"Two more minutes until the auction ends, matching closely with my previous guess..."

In auctions, it's most advised against shadowing the bids near closing.

At the very last second before the hammer falls, those who bid precisely demonstrate true skill.

Originally a poor man, Meng Chuan, living two lifetimes, hadn't attended such high-end events.

He planned to place a high bid in the last five seconds, no one increasing it would bring great joy.

If anyone did, he'd keep a close eye on the screen and continue bidding.

With his reaction speed, as long as it didn't exceed the money he had on hand, winning wouldn't be an issue.

The clock by the bedside "tick-tocked," the price had reached 85 million.

In the countdown of the fifth second, Meng Chuan decisively placed a bid, 90 million.

Every second counted.

At the last second, when the bid jumped to ninety-five million, his hand simultaneously pressed out ninety-eight million.

A strong person proficient in two disciplines, their hand speed speaks for itself.

Including the two million transferred to his aunt, the new hundred million hadn't even warmed up yet and was all spent.

Seeing that his Martial Arts Association account had entered the automatic deduction program, Meng Chuan relaxed, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

Tomorrow he had to go to Yong'an Martial Arts University to see Principal Yin, and there would undoubtedly be a round of "strategic sparring"...

Another mentally exhausting day ahead, better to sleep early to conserve energy.

...

Early next morning.

When Meng Chuan stepped out, he looked up at the sky. The sky over Yong'an seemed a bit overcast, rain might be on its way.

Of course, he didn't need something like an umbrella. He stepped out of his house and walked to his master's home.

"Chief Meng, congratulations on the United University True Inheritance."

Meng Chuan performed a martial arts salute:

"Hello, Teacher Luo."

The person congratulating him was Luo Meng, who had once competed with Motohiko's master, Shang Ruyi, for the Martial Extreme True Inheritance and lost by a hair!

Unexpectedly, the other was at his master's home again. Meng Chuan didn't know much about this "senior sister" and wasn't particularly interested.

Luo Meng's mood was complex as well.

She always believed that the reason Shang Ruyi advanced to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster before her was because of the benefits of the [Martial Extreme True Inheritance].

Apart from that... there was also the support from those around him.

When talent reaches a certain level, martial arts is a gold sinkhole.

Between geniuses, it's a matter of who has more resources and better opportunities.

In both regards, she was not as good as him.

She was already more than a step behind in the Martial Arts Master realm.

"There is still a chance to catch up..."

Watching Meng Chuan walk into Luo Guanyun's Martial Arts Chamber, she lowered her gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Recently, her relationship with Luo Guanyun had eased quite a bit, and they could even joke occasionally or discuss her martial arts practice.

But why...

He still wouldn't let her enter... his private martial arts chamber!

She remembered when she used to practice there every day as a child.

Not knowing if the layout inside had changed now.

It had been years since she last entered it, and for a moment, Luo Meng couldn't quite recall what it looked like inside...

When Luo Guanyun and Meng Chuan came out, laughing, she snapped back to reality.

She gracefully stood up and walked forward, saying:

"Xiaomeng, when are you planning to return to the mountain? Everyone is waiting to celebrate your new True Inheritance status."

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and replied:

"I'll stay for two more days, the day after tomorrow."

Having his birthday at home tomorrow, then returning to the mountain to continue his martial arts practice seemed perfect.

Luo Meng laughed and said:

"That's just right, I'm on vacation these two days, we can go together then."

...

At ten o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of Yong'an Martial Arts University.

"Please wait a moment, both of you, have some hot tea, the leaders will be here shortly."

Meng Chuan and his master were waiting for the university staff to receive them, casually chatting at the entrance reception.

"Venerable Yin is a martial artist with very strong practical abilities. You may seek his guidance in this respect.

Don't think that you are unbeatable at your level, and always remember that there is always someone better."

"Understood."

Meng Chuan certainly knew that the other was very capable, the peak competition's number one, and known as the first under the Celestial King.

But he also felt that the other had many thoughts, and he worried about trouble if he sought guidance too often...

Seeing his disciple understood, Luo Guanyun shifted the topic and said:

"Today, Luo Meng seemed a bit off, and I have no idea what she's scheming.

If the day after tomorrow she asks you to lend her money, you mustn't give her any."

Meng Chuan was drinking tea, he choked and spluttered at those words.

He said speechlessly:

"Master... seriously? I don't have much money, nothing compared to a Martial Arts Master."

Luo Guanyun sized him up and said seriously:

"Kid, the Fist Blade on your waist and belt, plus that gun you won at home, must be worth nearly a billion..."

"..."

Could it be that Luo Meng intended to rob him...

His master remained silent, just looking at him intently.

His gaze grew increasingly serious, making Meng Chuan nervous.

After a moment, his master burst into laughter and said:

"Alright, just teasing you, Luo Meng wouldn't do that. I'm just reminding you not to show off."

Only then did Meng Chuan finally exhale the breath he had been holding.

"Understood."

He was currently at the peak of his first major phase, with all his "treasures" on him, he needed to remember not to reveal his wealth.

...

Yong'an Martial Arts University, school auditorium.

Meng Chuan had enough experience in giving related boastful speeches, and with a casual performance, he managed to elicit amazement from the audience.

Midway through his speech, he shifted his tone, and energetic music started playing...

He invited his master Luo Guanyun onto the stage, where they both "promoted" together...

He had studied a lot of relevant speech techniques in advance, and now he spoke with confidence.

Listening to him, many people in the audience were eager to take out their wallets and claim the "Infinite Big Gift Package" for the first ten enrollments at the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.

Finally, when the speech reached its climax, Meng Chuan simply tossed the microphone aside.

With one hand raised high and dramatically, the sound of martial arts was inspiringly passionate!
