Chapter 47 Luo's Eight Extremes
"Does Ping An Middle School even have room for someone as big as you?"

Yu Kaidong thought this was too amazing. A 16-year-old high school freshman reaching the fourth stage of Qi and Blood Barrier? Could this be a student taught by a comprehensive high school?

"Really, you can ask my sister if you don't believe me."

Yu Kaidong looked at his girlfriend with pleading eyes; he couldn't believe it was true.

But Meng Yiyi nodded stiffly in response.

He paused for a moment, then said:
"Transfer schools, Xiao Meng. I can ask my teacher to recommend you to the preparatory class of Yong'an Wuhan University."

"Your future is limitless; a dragon cannot be raised in shallow waters at Ping An Middle School."

"No need, it's alright. I have my own plans."

The teaching level of martial arts schools and the preparatory classes of Wuhan University is much better than that of Ping An Middle School.

However, on the one hand, it was due to an agreement with Principal Zong, and on the other hand, it was because the school was completely closed off and it was inconvenient to practice boxing with Master Luo at night.

Master Luo rarely taught me during the day; he also needed to practice and earn money, so he couldn't possibly revolve around me.

Therefore, dropping out of school to continue learning martial arts from Luo Guanyun is not a viable option.

Seeing that Meng Chuan had his own ideas, Yu Kaidong said no more.

Villa A003, Huayun Mansion.

Luo Guanyun called Meng Chuan at noon and asked him to come over in the afternoon if he was free. Meng Chuan gladly accepted the invitation.

The martial arts room inside the villa.

"Indeed, I observe that your vital energy is so abundant that it is almost overflowing from your body surface, firmly establishing your four paths."

"I've been quite busy lately and forgot to remind you that when a martial artist moves from the initial stage of the first three stages of Qi and Blood to the intermediate stage, they need a lot of nutrition. It's quite good that you can notice this yourself."

This demonstrates a martial artist's high level of control over their own body. Luo Guanyun nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration.

"I won't waste any more time on idle chatter. Let's train hard from now on and keep striving towards the goals of the Northern Alliance University and the [Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique]!"

"As for the boxing techniques you will be practicing next, you need to be mentally prepared."

Hearing Master Luo say this, Meng Chuan became even more curious about the new boxing style.

"The students are ready."

Luo Guanyun said calmly:
"The Xingyi school is profound and extensive, and the most representative schools are Shaolin and Wudang."

"Shaolin boxing emphasizes punches and kicks, and is known for its strength, power, simplicity, and effectiveness in combat."

"Wudang boxing follows the principles of the I Ching, aiming at self-cultivation and nourishing life, using combat and self-defense as a pretext, and emphasizing the interplay of feints and real attacks, and the combination of hardness and softness."

"I combined the advantages of Shaolin's long fist style with the yin-yang and yang variations of Wudang Tai Chi, and added the short-range striking techniques of Yueshan Bajiquan to create a top-tier boxing style among second-rate styles."

Because it is based on Bajiquan (Eight Extremities Fist), it is named "Luo Family Bajiquan".

"Luo Family Bajiquan externally trains long and short movements, and internally nourishes the five internal organs and six bowels. It is one of the best preliminary boxing techniques for the [Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Method]."

Meng Chuan was shocked. He hadn't expected Master Luo to be so powerful. The integration of the three religions was quite something.

"Luo Family Bajiquan is different from ordinary second-rate boxing. Ordinary second-rate boxing can only reach the sixth level of Qi and Blood when it is perfected, and cannot break through to the seventh level of Qi and Blood to enter the advanced stage."

"When Luo-style Bajiquan is practiced to perfection, one will definitely be able to break through the seventh Qi and Blood Barrier, and may even have the opportunity to comprehend the power of Hua Jin. You should know that Hua Jin is mostly exclusive to first-class martial arts."

"But similarly, the difficulty of its cultivation has also increased significantly. To give you an example, it is at least ten times more difficult than the Cannon Fist. You should be prepared to practice it repeatedly without finding the knack."

Meng Chuan was not afraid at all.

"No problem, Master Luo, I can definitely do it!"

Meng Chuan's confidence comes from the panel and the fact that once you get the certificate, you're guaranteed to get it. As long as you practice hard, you'll have no problem getting started.

"Okay, let me demonstrate for you first."

Luo Guanyun stood still and assumed the starting stance.

"This is a boxing style I created myself, so it doesn't have the same body movements that accompany the Cannon Fist in the Inch Step Fist."

“Your progress is not yet perfect. You can continue to practice, or I will teach you other body techniques after you have fully mastered the Luo Family Eight Extremes.”

"You've already discovered that fist techniques need to be practiced in conjunction with body techniques even before you've reached the intermediate stage of martial arts. So I don't need to worry about you on that point. For now, you can continue to practice Luo Family Bajiquan with the Inch Step technique so that you won't panic when you're in actual combat."

"Alright, enough chit-chat, stand face to face with me and learn."

Meng Chuan strode forward.

"Come on, teacher."

"I'll play slower, so you can study the moves carefully."

Luo Guanyun stood up straight, his left hand clenched into a fist, his right hand pressed against the web of his left hand, and his body gradually began to rise into a stance.

"The Luo Family Bajiquan style begins by gathering momentum, using that momentum to intimidate and seize the initiative!"

Then Luo Guanyun began the formal rehearsal:
"Remember, don't forget the bow stance you learned in Paoquan. When you're striking left and right, don't just focus on your hand movements. Remember to coordinate your bow stance with your body rotation." "This is the sixth of Bajiquan's major openings, namely, top, embrace, single, lift, cross, and entangle. It also incorporates the Wudang boxing style, the concept of combining hardness and softness and shifting between emptiness and fullness, and the long fist techniques of Luohan, such as blocking, pressing, rushing, and pointing."

"I'll practice it again. Try to follow the movements and hit along with them. Don't worry if you make mistakes; I'll point them out to you immediately."

Martial Arts Indoor.

When Meng Chuan first started practicing, his movements were very clumsy.

Luo Guanyun patiently corrected Meng Chuan's movements again and again.

An hour passed, and thanks to the existence of the permanent certificate, Meng Chuan's Luo Family Eight Extremes gradually became more and more proficient.

As expected of a top-tier second-rate boxing technique, Meng Chuan hadn't felt this drenched in sweat in a long time.

He glanced at the Martial Arts Limit Break panel when he had a moment to spare, but the new fist technique section hadn't appeared, so it seemed that this new fist technique was indeed very difficult.

But he was not discouraged; instead, he became even more hopeful.

Luo Guanyun had never taught this self-created boxing style to anyone else, but now he was also intrigued:
"Are you tired? If not, let's continue."

Meng Chuan reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"I'm not tired, come on, Master Luo!"

"Alright! Let's keep practicing then, and try to master it all in one go today!"

Meng Chuan was also holding back a lot of determination; he refused to believe that he wouldn't be able to get started today.

As a martial arts master at the third stage of his life, Luo Guanyun seemed to possess inexhaustible strength.

While demonstrating to Meng Chuan, he constantly corrected Meng Chuan's movements and explained the key points of Luo's Bajiquan movements to him from time to time.

"Yes! I've always emphasized core contraction and power generation! Every punch you throw must be powered by your core muscles in your waist, driven by your fighting instincts, to unleash an unstoppable punch!"

"You haven't grasped the hidden strength yet, because it's difficult to comprehend hidden strength in Cannon Fist or even the most powerful and fierce fist techniques."

"But Luo's Bajiquan is different. If you carefully comprehend its penetrating power, your punches will penetrate to the bone marrow, just like this."

"Watch closely! Footwork is also crucial. This style of boxing not only incorporates the short-range striking techniques of Bajiquan but also the long-range striking techniques of Shaolin. In actual combat, you must adapt your moves to the changing situation on the field."
When the enemy advances, you use small steps to create distance and unleash a long punch; when the enemy retreats, you use Wudang's entangling force to pull him back and then use Bajiquan's short-range striking to deliver rapid punches!

Meng Chuan gradually began to fight with more discipline. After Luo Guanyun gave him some pointers on the movements, he suddenly swung his elbow towards the wooden stake.

"Okay."

The wooden stake was instantly knocked away and exploded in mid-air, shattering into pieces on the ground!
Luo Guanyun's aura was extremely fierce:

"Do you see that? This is the Luo Family Eight Extremes Force!"

Meng Chuan nodded; he had figured out something about it.

With its powerful external explosive force and internal destructive power, Luo's Eight Extremes is indeed formidable!
"Keep going! When you throw a punch, think about it carefully, and figure out how to use your strength the same way I do."

The master and apprentice continued practicing like this, seemingly forgetting about time.

6 pm.

"How's it going, Chuan'er? Have you mastered the basics?"

"Not even close!"

Meng Chuan felt that he was about to master the basics.

"Then give it your all! Keep up with my movements!"

Master Luo would stand still for a moment, using the Luo Family Bajiquan technique to confront enemies from all directions, and then he would leap onto the wooden stake with Meng Chuan, his steps aggressive and menacing, each step followed by a punch that made the air buzz!

By 8 p.m., Meng Chuan's stamina was waning, and his punches were starting to feel weak.

Looking at his apprentice, who was about to collapse from exhaustion, Luo Guanyun smiled with satisfaction:

"Solid and not bad, almost got the hang of it."

Meng Chuan bowed gratefully to Master Luo:
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Luo."

Luo Guanyun waved his hand and said:

"It's alright, just rest and reflect on it. Remember the key points I mentioned today."

"I have something to do, so I'll head out now."

As Luo Guanyun reached the door, he turned back and suddenly remembered something:
"Remember to lock the door when you leave, don't forget to lock it like last time!"

Luo Guanyun had something to do that evening, so he left first.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the martial arts room, adjusting his breathing, and thought to himself:
"Teacher Luo is so kind to me."

After adjusting his breathing, he focused intently on the control panel.
