With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 81 Dragon Elephant Prajna, Cultivating Qi and donning armor

Suddenly, the door to the martial arts room was blown open by a gust of wind from a punch, and a dark figure flashed in front of him in an instant.

Meng Chuan looked closely and saw that it was indeed his master.

Without saying a word, Luo Guanyun kicked out, but Meng Chuan smiled and easily twisted his waist to break free.

"Master Luo, you're a bit slow. How about you go a little faster?"

Luo Guanyun's expression showed a hint of surprise; even a sixth-level martial artist might not be able to dodge his speed just now.

"Good lad, you're here!"

Luo Guanyun paused for a moment, then instantly accelerated several times over. His figure moved around Meng Chuan, his fists leaving trails in the air.

Meng Chuan's eyes couldn't keep up, but he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and after taking two punches, he darted to the base of the wall.

The martial arts shoes slammed against the wall with a "thud," and then, using the recoil, they charged back at Luo Guanyun.

Meng Chuan's fist was fierce, and the powerful explosive force brought by breaking the limit with every step to tore open the airflow around him. The force spun and crashed into Luo Guanyun's chest.

A whooshing sound of fists swept in.

Faced with Meng Chuan's stroke of genius, Luo Guanyun's pupils suddenly contracted, and at the very moment it was about to hit him, he grabbed Meng Chuan's fist with perfect precision.

However, Meng Chuan's punch combined the explosive power of both the Cannon Fist Limit Break and the Inch Step Limit Break.

The impact was incredibly powerful. He felt an overwhelming force surging towards him, with a subtle rotational force hidden between the light and dark.

"Humph!"

Luo Guanyun only used about six points of his Qi and Blood to resist, but he lost his balance and his feet left two shallow marks on the floor. He stumbled back a step before regaining his footing.

After standing still, Luo Guanyun pondered Meng Chuan's punch, realizing that he hadn't taught him this move before.

"You figured this out yourself?"

"Yes, Master Luo, this is a killing move that I developed based on the Cannon Fist."

Luo Guanyun pondered for a moment, then asked incredulously:

"You've even broken through to the Grandmaster level in Cannon Fist?"

He recalled the sound of Meng Chuan's punches, which were completely different from the traditional Cannon Fist.

Like a sniper rifle with a silencer, it was low-pitched and concealed its deadly intent!
Meng Chuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

He had already figured it out; aside from the fact that the panel granted him special traits, which was too miraculous, he could tell his master about everything else.

“Master Luo treated me like a father and son. If I were to intentionally hide it from him, my beliefs would inevitably be compromised.”

Luo Guanyun was at a loss for words.

He couldn't imagine just how powerful the special ability Meng Chuan awakened that night must have been to allow him to break through the limits of martial arts so easily.

Thinking of his previous persistence and dedication to Guoyiquan, Luo Guanyun seemed to have a sudden realization, walked up to Meng Chuan and patted him on the shoulder.

He said with satisfaction:

"Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant scent?"

"Perhaps it is your unwavering dedication over the past twelve years that has created such amazing acquired qualities."

"But this is just the beginning. The path of martial arts is still long, and countless unknown challenges await you."
I hope you can carry with you the same initial aspiration you had when you practiced Guoyiquan, and go see even higher peaks for me.

Meng Chuan responded loudly:

"Master Luo, rest assured, Meng Chuan will definitely carry forward the Yuan Shen Seed Thunder Technique in the future."

Luo Guanyun smiled with satisfaction and said nothing more.

In truth, he no longer cared about these things; he just wanted to live a few more days and witness Meng Chuan's growth.

Meng Chuan's decisive strike had also taken a toll on his stamina. After resting for a while, he saw that Master Luo's expression had turned serious, so he immediately stood up and stood still.

Luo Guanyun said:
"I originally intended for you to break through to the seventh level of Qi and Blood before you started cultivating hard skills."

But the situation is complex and tense now, so it's better to start practicing sooner rather than later. Having external martial arts skills can add a sense of security.

Meng Chuan was slightly excited upon hearing what Master Luo said. He had longed for hard kung fu for a long time, and every time he saw Master Chen Tie's body of steel, he was truly envious.

Luo Guanyun saw through Meng Chuan's mood and poured cold water on it, saying:
"Hard power is actually in a rather awkward situation right now, because modern firearms are too lethal."

Even if you master any second- or third-rate martial arts techniques like Iron Shirt, it's still no match for a light pull of the trigger.

"Moreover, once you become a martial artist, the true qi that will be generated within your body will be far more powerful than these hard techniques in terms of defense."

Therefore, very few people are still willing to learn hard-skill techniques nowadays, except for those with a natural talent for external physical training and true hard-skill enthusiasts.

Meng Chuan was slightly puzzled when he heard what Master Luo said.

"Master Luo, isn't it said that if one cultivates hard skills to the peak, one's physical body can become sacred and indestructible? Is it because the techniques you mentioned are not effective enough?"

Luo Guanyun explained with a smile:
"You're really daring, kid. But it's indeed possible to achieve physical sainthood through hard skills. Have you heard of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

"When I met Zhao Tianwang at the Martial Arts Association before, he mentioned it briefly, saying it was a top-level martial art of the Tantric sect."

The official definition of martial arts in the Great Chu Dynasty is roughly divided into three levels.

The lowest level consists of the first, second, and third-rate techniques learned by martial artists who have mastered the Qi and Blood Path.

These are collectively referred to as boxing techniques, and cannot even be called martial arts.

After becoming a martial artist, the true martial arts skills learned are at the second level.

True skill transcends social classes; its difficulty and level are determined by the number of stages in the skill.

The sixth level of true skill is considered a low-level true skill, the ninth level is considered an intermediate level, and the thirteenth level is considered a high-level true skill.

At the same time, among the advanced true skills, there is a type of skill with extremely high power, exceeding thirteen levels, with the exact number of levels being uncertain.

Such techniques are called top-tier true skills. Because they are rare, for convenience, the official classification also includes them in the category of advanced true skills.

However, while such true skills are extremely powerful, they are usually difficult to cultivate. Luo Guanyun's family's true skill, the "Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique," is one such example.

The final level is the ultimate skill, also known as divine skill.

Cultivators must at least reach the Grandmaster level before they are qualified to study this martial art. The principles within are complex and vast, and every practitioner is also a pioneer in this unique skill.

Because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever mastered a supreme martial art to perfection!

Luo Guanyun began to tease:

“Yes, once you master the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, I estimate you'll be close to achieving physical sainthood.”

"."

Meng Chuan was somewhat speechless.

"I understand, Master Luo."

"Don't be discouraged. You can only glimpse the Dragon Elephant Prajna after you become a Grandmaster."
But mastering hard skills still has many benefits.

Meng Chuan was not discouraged by hearing that his hard skills were a bit weak. He had the limit-breaking panel, so he could try a few more times and see what special traits he could get.

He even suspected that names like "physical sainthood" and "indestructible Vajra" might be exclusive limit-breaking characteristics of certain top-tier hard skills!
Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan continued listening to the lecture.

"For example, in actual combat, you can withstand more damage than others, which has obvious benefits and greatly increases your margin for error."

"Moreover, some rare hard skills can even be cultivated both internally and externally!"
For example, the book I'm about to teach you is a top-tier Wudang hard skill called "Qi Cultivation and Armor-Piercing Skill."

"This method trains the skin, flesh, and bones externally. Once mastered, regardless of one's level of qi and blood, one is difficult to harm by swords and blades, and one's physical body can easily withstand ordinary firearms."
It also nourishes the tendons and internal organs, and generates a breath of purple energy to nourish the body and prolong life. Aside from being difficult to practice, it has no other drawbacks!

"Don't I need to learn third-rate or second-rate basic skills first, and then practice them step by step?"

"There's no need for that. Although you don't have a foundation in external martial arts, you still have to toughen up your physical body no matter what level of hard martial arts you are."

If you can master this Armor-Wearing Skill, it will be comparable to a perfected third-rate hard skill. If you achieve great mastery, its effects will far surpass those of second-rate Golden Body Skills.

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood.
