With a bitter smile, Meng Chuan explained to the other party.
"You actually practiced another Western Hard Skill?"
Including the Hard Skill showcased last time, he’s already trained in two, which takes up already scarce fist training time.
"Though my skill is far inferior to Brother Meng, I still want to remind you, it’s best not to get too absorbed in Hard Skills.
External skills are external ways, never truly mastering the key. Enhancing Qi Blood is the key to Martial Arts."
Chen Xuewu kindly reminded him, and Meng Chuan responded with a smile:
"Got it, Brother Xuewu, it won’t affect fist training.
By the way, do you have time on the 6th next month? It’s my birthday, let’s have a meal together."
"Is it? I’ll definitely be there."
June 6th is his seventeenth birthday, his pockets are still quite full, and Meng Chuan wants to invite his friends for a meal, after all, once they get to college, they’ll each go their own way.
After Chen Xuewu left, Meng Chuan looked at his arm, which was different in color from his body, feeling a bit helpless.
There’s no way around it; getting stronger comes at a cost, but this level is completely acceptable.
After resting for a while, he practiced fists for another two hours.
Once his face flushed slightly from practice, Meng Chuan took a breath to calm down, then went to the Qi Blood testing room.
[Qi Blood Value: 47.2, entered the sixth level]
Walking out of the Qi Blood testing room, Meng Chuan felt quite happy.
"The Qi Blood Value is two to three points higher than I expected, probably due to the Crushing Fist giving some."
But the main reason is still the effective Qi Blood boosting effect of Luo’s Baji, which generated over 10 points upon achieving mastery.
Though the sun was already setting, Meng Chuan still hadn’t left.
Luo Guanyun was in the personal Martial Arts Chamber, teaching the final VIP class to a student.
He asked Meng Chuan to wait outside for half an hour, then invited him to his home to teach him fists.
During the wait, Meng Chuan took the opportunity to practice Crushing Fist.
With a lift of his hand, his twin fists carrying energy struck consecutively, the unique vibrating force of Crushing Fist pierced the wooden pile, producing a grinding "shashasha" sound from the iron core within.
This is the unique skill of Crushing Fist, able to cause internal damage without using Dark Strength.
Earlier, Meng Chuan asked a fellow student, who said this move is called "See the Dragon Dismount!"
Half an hour later, Luo Guanyun walked out.
At first glance, he saw Meng Chuan practicing Crushing Fist and curiously asked when he learned it.
Meng Chuan answered honestly, he had seen other students practicing it before, followed along for a while and grasped it.
Upon hearing this, Luo Guanyun laughed heartily and praised Meng Chuan:
"You’re quite a prodigy, not only coming up with a Western and Eastern fusion for practicing Hard Skills, but now you’ve also learned Wood Attribute fist skills; tell me what else you’d like to learn."
A few days ago, Meng Chuan had mentally prepared for criticism from his mentor.
After all, his actions were indeed somewhat unconventional, but Luo Guanyun’s attitude was greatly unexpected.
Luo Guanyun ultimately did not oppose his practice of Western Hard Skills, and instead praised him.
"When I was young, I loved practicing Qinggong, yet you prefer Hard Skills."
The two boarded the car, Meng Chuan sat in the passenger seat, glanced at the dashboard.
[Crushing Fist: Proficient (54%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
"I have two Limit Breaking fist skills as a base, breaking through to the same rank with Crushing Fist shouldn’t be difficult later."
Seeing that the proficiency of Crushing Fist indeed increased rapidly, Meng Chuan decided to spend a bit more time on practice later, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the training of Luo’s Baji Fist.
After school, Meng Chuan went to Luo Guanyun’s house to practice fists.
The fist winds howled within this small Martial Arts Chamber, as they separated after a bout, Luo Guanyun spoke seriously:
"Your killing intent is still too small, don’t think about covering the entire arm, doing so wastes a lot of willpower.
What should be done now is to consider how to concentrate the killing intent into one point and strike.
Just like Ming Strength, concentrate the power to penetrate!"
As his words finished, Meng Chuan suddenly felt a gust of wind, Luo Guanyun abruptly spun to his side and struck his elbow joint.
Instantly, the faint killing intent attached to Meng Chuan’s entire arm, with Luo’s guidance, condensed into a walnut-sized sphere in his palm.
"Killing intent is a steel needle of Bone Penetration!"
He grasped Meng Chuan’s hand and pressed it towards the wooden stake, in a moment leaving only a tiny pinhole on the surface, but the wall behind cracked into several spider-web-like fissures.
Watching this scene, Meng Chuan was truly shocked, his killing intent could wield such power.
Luo Guanyun released his grip, glanced at him, and said gravely:
"This is the power of concentrated killing intent, if you can master it proficiently, your strength will significantly increase."
Meng Chuan cupped his hands and said:
"Disciple will definitely strive hard."
"For your birthday celebration with friends on the 6th, I won’t interrupt.
Besides, starting tomorrow night, I need to spend six hours daily stationed outside the city, ready to at any time, so I’ll be back less often."
Meng Chuan nodded understandingly, with a hint of worry inside.
Luo Guanyun saw through his disciple’s thoughts, waved him off with a smile:
"It’s nothing major, just a few Upper Rank demon brats awakening again; I’ll help clean it up and earn quite a bit."
Luo Guanyun spoke lightly, but the actual situation was only clear to him.
If it wasn’t a critical moment, he wouldn’t be required to station as a civilian Martial Arts school owner.
Upon hearing his master’s words, Meng Chuan smiled back, deciding to trust his master’s capability.
The two discussed martial theories further, Luo Guanyun eventually handed Meng Chuan a finely crafted small box.
"This is a [Great Pill of Spiritual Enlightenment]. Remember that Celestial Demon from Tong Family Lane?"
