With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 13 Yuan Shen’s Lightning Technique

Luo Guanyun's irritable temper was not without reason. As a level three expert, his body was nourished and regulated by true qi, and his lifespan was at least two or three times that of an ordinary person.

However, due to his cultivation level being stuck at the third major limit for more than ten years, his true thunder technique, the [Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique], could not be advanced, and the thunder seed planted in his body was about to take effect.

The fourth level, the Grandmaster realm, is a major hurdle for martial artists, and it is extremely difficult to break through.

Luo Guanyun had no choice but to find another way, practicing the Five Elements Water-attribute [Mysterious Yin Reflecting the Moon True Skill] in an attempt to neutralize the thunder seed within his body.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal, only able to delay the onset of the lightning strike but not to cure it completely.

At the same time, the two opposing forces of true skill counterbalance each other within the body, affecting both the spleen and stomach, which leads to imbalanced liver fire and frequent irritability and anger.

"Was I really wrong? But my daughter's talent will surely allow her to cultivate thunder magic to its highest level."
I raised her for over ten years. As a child of the Luo family, it is her duty and responsibility to inherit the Thunder Magic True Skill. She refused to learn it. I am not wrong; she is!

"I must find someone whose talent matches mine and practice thunder magic to prove it all."

"Sister Ru, what does the banner above our martial arts gym mean?"

Meng Chuan and Liu Ru sat facing each other in the restaurant, drinking muscle and bone tonic and enjoying the nutritious breakfast provided by the martial arts school.

"It's nothing, Master Luo just wants to expand his enrollment."

Liu Ru was exhausted and didn't want to explain further.

When Meng Chuanlai arrived this morning, he saw a newly hung banner above the martial arts school at the entrance.

[Gathering the world's best talents, if you have the ability, come join us!]

"Chuan'er, you played really well!"

"Play it again, it's so satisfying to watch!"

On the training ground, a crowd gathered to watch Meng Chuan practice Guoyiquan. After his match with Wang Yue yesterday, Meng Chuan became the most sought-after person in the martial arts school.

Meng Chuan was very frustrated. With so many people surrounding him, how could he possibly comprehend the Guoyiquan (National Righteousness Boxing)? He should have come back at noon.

"Well, kid, I feel like you're threatening my position. Let's duel!"

Le Ping joined in the fun from the sidelines.

"Have some shame! You haven't even reached the first level yet, and you think you can fight me three levels above your level?"

"I'll fight you. Come on, let's go to the ring now."

Wang Dong dragged Le Ping toward the arena.

The speaker was the senior member of the martial arts school, the one with the longest experience and the oldest age, but unfortunately, even though he was over thirty, he was still stuck at the fourth level of Qi and Blood.

This fully proves that what is most lacking on the path of martial arts is not perseverance, but talent.

"Brother Wang, please don't! I was wrong!" Le Ping begged for forgiveness repeatedly when he saw his elder brother standing up for Meng Chuan.

The crowd had all been drawn away, and Meng Chuanle was able to relax and begin to carefully study Guoyiquan.

By 2 p.m., the time for his appointment with the curator, Meng Chuan still hadn't broken through that final 1%.

While my Guoyiquan style has become more fluid and graceful with the help of stance training, I haven't gained any new insights. Perhaps I'm thinking wrong; stance training can't bring Guoyiquan to its full potential.

"It's okay if you want to beat me up, come on."

Meng Chuan decided to find the master later and ask him how to reach the "master" level that the master spoke of, even if he was beaten again.

When the time came, Meng Chuan stood at the door of the training room and waited without going in, because he could hear screams coming from inside the room from the doorway.

The instructor went overtime today; he was still beating up the previous student even though it was past the appointed time.

"The extra five minutes count as class time, get out!"

The trainee scrambled out, giving Meng Chuan a pitying look as he passed by.

Meng Chuan stepped inside, and Luo Guanyun was straightening his shirt, which had been wrinkled from his earlier work. "It's you. Come in. I remember the stance training I taught last weekend. Have you gotten the hang of it?"

Luo Guanyun, as a martial arts master, had an exceptionally good memory.

"Getting started."

After saying that, Meng Chuan assumed a horse stance, channeled his energy from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, took a deep breath, and exhaled a visible stream of white vapor.

"Hmm, not bad, you're quick on your feet, you've mastered it."

Pay attention to the number of times you practice the acupuncture and moxibustion each day. If possible, you can drink some medicinal cuisine to supplement your diet.

Meng Chuan responded that he was drinking the muscle and bone liquid from Mingde Pharmaceutical, and Luo Guanyun jumped over and gave him a flick on the forehead.

"Who told you to drink supplements? It's medicinal cuisine, it's medicinal cuisine!"

"Medicinal cuisine is all-natural, made by decocting highly nutritious herbs. Unlike supplements, it does not leave impurities in the body of those who consume it."
Your physical constitution is average. If you want to go further in Xingyi Quan, don't let your body accumulate too many impurities. This will make it difficult to break through to higher realms later. Remember what I said today, do you understand?

"I understand, teacher." The other party is a martial arts master, so I have to listen to what he says.

Meng Chuan was obedient this time, which pleased Luo Guanyun greatly.

"It's good that you understand. There are too many people who are eager to achieve quick success these days. They all want to practice advanced boxing techniques and take a lot of supplements. There are not many people like you who can steadily build a foundation."

Meng Chuan knew that if he didn't have the control panel, he would switch to practicing more powerful and energy-boosting boxing techniques.

"By the way, how many days did it take you to learn the basics?"

"It took about two and a half days. I learned it last Saturday and got the basics down on Monday."

"Um"

"Sigh, it's not quite there yet; the underlying aptitude isn't good enough either."

Although this kid has amazing perseverance and his personality suits my taste, I'm afraid he'd have a hard time even getting started with the Thunder Magic.

"It's alright, I'll teach you some boxing today."

"The boxing style I'm teaching you is called the Xingyi School Five Elements Fire Eight Gates Cannon Fist, or simply Cannon Fist."

"Cannon Fist is the most powerful and forceful fist technique among the third-class martial arts. Some second-class fist techniques are not as powerful. The specific training progress is divided into three, six, and nine forms. Mastering the nine forms of Cannon Fist proves that you have reached perfection, just like this."

As he spoke, Luo Guanyun stood up and began to demonstrate, his legs slightly bent, his arms supporting him in front and behind, and then his right hand slammed forward like a thunderclap, creating a loud "boom".

"Mom, did Brother Meng Chuan get smashed to pieces by Brother Luo's punch?"

After being disciplined by Wang Dong, Le Ping ran over and eavesdropped through the door.

Instructor Liu Ru also came over. She was a little upset, worried that Luo Guanyun would be overjoyed to see Meng Chuan and accept him as his personal disciple.

Luo Guanyun sensed someone eavesdropping through the cracks in the wall:
"Hey you outside, wanna come in and learn together?"

Le Ping and Liu Ru hurriedly got up and left, not daring to linger for a moment.

After disassembling the cannon fist technique, Luo Guanyun practiced it several more times, which Meng Chuan recorded.

"Try it once and let me see."

Meng Chuan tried to start practicing based on his memory. Because of his solid foundation in Guoyiquan, he quickly got the hang of it, but he was still a bit far from being a beginner. The panel did not include Paoquan.

"Hmm, it's starting to look good. Let's practice some more when we get back."

Luo Guanyun looked down at the time; only forty minutes had passed. His foundation was good. Other students needed three or four lessons to learn Cannon Fist, but this kid could do it decently in less than one lesson.

"Master Luo, I'm still not satisfied. I really want to break through to the level of a master in Guoyiquan. How can I do that?"
