With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 5 Taiyi Three Talents Stance

"Seriously, everyone. Xiao Meng, right? I can answer this question. Strictly speaking, Guoyiquan does belong to Xingyiquan. Its moves and routines contain the Taoist Five Elements Fire element philosophy of Xingyiquan."

Meng Chuan nodded thoughtfully, then focused his mind and the panel appeared before his eyes. The last 1% progress he was missing from breaking through the limit should be the stance training.
[Martial Arts Limit Break Panel]

Martial Arts

[National Compulsory Basic Boxing Techniques: Perfect (99%), Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit-Breaking Trait: One Certificate, Permanent Certification (Super)]

Seeing that Meng Chuan had no further questions, Liu Ru continued:
"Don't focus on external things, concentrate on your own body, and be constantly aware of your physical state. This is called inner peace. Okay, actually, these words are not difficult to understand. Follow me and do the movements. I will repeat them during the process, and you can carefully experience them."

After Liu Ru finished speaking, she began to repeat her explanation while demonstrating, and Meng Chuan followed Liu Ru's movements and began to stand in the stance.

Because of Meng Chuan's question, Liu Ru had been paying close attention to Meng Chuan's movements. Seeing that Meng Chuan was standing correctly alongside her, she praised him:

"You're standing well. This is the key to mastering the Three Talents Stance. Remember to come find me later to get the diagram. Practice it a lot when you get back, and I believe you'll master it quickly."

Meng Chuan gave a shy smile, practiced with Liu Ru a few more times, and after memorizing the movements, found a more open space to practice alone.

"Combining emptiness and fullness, moving and still naturally, breathing evenly, finding strength within the stance."

I've practiced for a long time but still haven't mastered it, and the [Taiyi Three Talents Stance] has never been added to my skill panel.

Meng Chuan was not discouraged. He took things one step at a time, and he believed that what he deserved would come eventually.

After sitting down to rest for a while, I suddenly thought, could I try to integrate the Three Talents Stance Method into the "National Righteous Boxing"?
Meng Chuan did what he thought of and gave it a try, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory.

His footwork couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the stance training, and he almost tripped over himself, but his fist techniques were impressive.

After all, he has been practicing Guoyiquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) for more than ten years, so it can be said to be engraved in his DNA.

Liu Ru wandered around the training ground, looking for students who needed help to offer guidance. She walked up to Meng Chuan, saw him practicing boxing while simultaneously practicing stances, and frowned, saying:
“It is indeed best to practice boxing and stance training together, but you are too impatient, Xiao Meng. You haven’t even grasped the essentials of stance training yet, so how can you coordinate it with boxing routines? I think you need to master the Three Talents Stance first before trying to combine the two.”

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood. He did understand the principle, but with the dawn of breaking through the limit right in front of him, he seemed a little impatient.

Not wanting to dampen Meng Chuan's enthusiasm, Liu Ru then offered words of comfort:

“I’ve looked at your student information. You and I are both of average to below-average physical constitution. I only took three days to learn it. I just watched your stance training movements. If you practice hard, I believe you can do it too.”

At noon, Meng Chuan was surprised to find that the Infinite Martial Arts Academy provided lunch.

It's all high-protein foods like beef, fish, and shrimp, available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; I just missed the breakfast portion.

After lunch, Meng Chuan felt his energy return, so he went back to the training ground to practice standing meditation without taking a midday rest, hoping to master the "Three Talents Stance" as soon as possible.

Time slipped away silently amidst the sweat, and dusk gradually fell.

"Brother Chuan'er, Mengya and I are leaving first. You should go back soon after you've finished practicing."

Wang Yue had long wanted to leave, but he had to find some joy in the midst of his suffering because he had to stay with Qin Mengya.

"Bye-bye, Brother Chuan'er, we're off now."

Qin Mengya also waved goodbye to Meng Chuan. She had seen Meng Chuan's efforts and now she was starting to believe what Wang Yue had said.

"I have a keen eye for people. My brother Meng Chuan will definitely become a martial artist in the future!"

The other trainees gradually left, and Liu Ru's workday ended.

After a while, Meng Chuan prepared to leave. Before leaving, he decided to practice "Guoyiquan" a few more times to get a feel for it.

Today is Saturday, and there are many students attending the member classes. After finishing the last student class, Luo Guanyun came out to get some fresh air before closing the venue.

It's so late, even the teachers have left, so why are there still people in the training ground? Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the new student who had made eye contact with him this morning.

When Meng Chuan was practicing his boxing, he was completely focused on his movements and didn't notice anyone coming from behind him.

"Little one, it's not safe in the dark. Let's go early and practice again tomorrow."

"You can leave right after you're done practicing; there's no need to lock the door."

Luo Guanyun didn't look at Meng Chuan closely, and left after saying a few words.

The martial arts school has surveillance cameras, and no one dares to come and take advantage of it. "Qian Yuan Lei Dong" is not a self-proclaimed title, but a title bestowed by Luo Guanyun, who specializes in the true art of thunder magic!

After finishing his training, Meng Chuan was left alone in the Infinite Martial Arts Hall. Following Luo Guanyun's instructions, he turned off the lights and left.

As he walked, he thought to himself:

"The martial arts school my uncle enrolled me in was really worth it. Schools don't teach stance training until the second year of high school when students choose their majors."

According to current speculation, the final 1% progress is hidden in stance training, and I am saving a year of time by learning it now.

At home, Xue Na was chatting with her husband, Meng Yongzhi, on the sofa to help them digest their food.

Meng Chuan called at noon to tell me that the martial arts school provides meals, and that I should eat at the school and then come back.

"Go call Chuan'er again and see where he is."

Meng Yongzhi urged.

"I just called and they said they'd be back soon, what's the rush?"

Meng Yongzhi explained, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but something might happen in the city recently, and I'm worried that it's too late and the children won't be safe."

"What's wrong? I haven't seen any news about it being unsafe lately. Is it something within your department?"

"Don't overthink it. I was in meetings all night last night. The leader didn't say it to us explicitly, but I understood what he meant."

"Don't go around saying this, or you'll be accused of disturbing the peace. When Chuan'er comes back later, remind him again. It's fine as long as we're family."

Xue Na rolled her eyes at her husband.

"Am I that kind of person? Do you need to emphasize that? Don't wander around after get off work these days, go home early."

Just then, Meng Chuan pushed open the door and came back.

"uncle and auntie."

Meng Chuan greeted him.

"Chuan'er, you're back. Don't practice too late anymore. Go home earlier. It's not safe outside lately."

Meng Chuan knew his uncle worked at the police station, and his absence last night suggested something was indeed wrong.

"Uncle, I'll definitely come back earlier next time."

Meng Chuan didn't ask for details. He was just a student, what difference would it make if he knew? He just had to listen to his uncle.

"Not next time, but you need to come back earlier these days. Come sit down and tell me how your trip to the martial arts school went today, and what you learned."

Meng Yongzhi invited Meng Chuan to sit down and have some water.
