With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 91 Qi and Blood Progress, Learning to Climb the Cloud Ladder

Meng Chuan's third-rate movement technique had already exceeded its limit. He had been too busy recently, but finally found the time to ask for advice today.

Moreover, the second effect of the "inch step" is that it opens up acupoints, slightly increasing the comprehension of movement techniques and martial arts and the probability of sudden enlightenment.

Meng Chuan wanted to test the effect. From practicing martial arts to now, his enlightenment in body technique training had only been fleeting when he broke through the limit of the last step.

See how your new traits will change when you practice your movements.

Luo Guanyun pondered for a moment and said:
"Tomorrow night, come to my house tomorrow night, and I'll teach you the [Ladder to Climb]."

"The Cloud Ladder is a second-rate movement technique, but it also has a miraculous effect, making it very suitable for you to learn."

Meng Chuan nodded happily.

"However, you still need to practice your inch-step technique, as it is the most basic body movement technique that complements Xingyi Quan."
This will be of great help to you in your future practice of various advanced movement techniques.

Even if you master all these martial arts and forge your own path, you still need to practice them occasionally to get a feel for them.
Martial artists are not gods; their skills are honed through muscle memory, not simply grown from the flesh.

Master's words were not wrong, Meng Chuandun felt the teachings.

Although he possesses a certificate that will endure forever, he will never forget or degenerate.

But more practice is always good, as it makes it easier to use in actual combat.

After discussing some boxing principles with Meng Chuan, Luo Guanyun left the martial arts school first.

Having not practiced during the day, I need to practice the [Mysterious Yin Reflecting the Moon True Skill] tonight to suppress the lightning seed as usual, so I headed straight to the secret chamber.

Knowing that his master had something to do tonight, Meng Chuan decided to practice boxing for another half hour at the martial arts school before going home to practice standing meditation.

Standing meditation is also an essential part of daily practice. Sometimes Meng Chuan really wishes he had a clone who could practice with him and make time for him.

"I wonder if there's a trait that allows one to cultivate clones to practice together, thus increasing my proficiency."

sunset.

Some students at the martial arts school were packing up to leave, while others were making the most of their time to practice their boxing.

Liu Ru was still teaching at the martial arts school. Luo Guanyun's departure made the poison in her body feel much more relaxed.

Seeing Meng Chuan still punching away, Liu Ru came over to gather information.

"Xiao Meng, are you about to break through the sixth Qi and Blood barrier?"

She already knew that Meng Chuan was wearing protective clothing.

While outwardly expressing envy, one becomes even more wary inwardly.

With the protective suit on, it couldn't penetrate the body and directly engulfed Meng Chuan with its force field.

If Meng Chuan persists until Luo Guanyun arrives, the fate of those in Tongjia Lane, symbolizing the thunder of death, will once again fall upon it.

It is not some mindless demon.

Therefore, he needed to control Meng Chuan's cultivation progress and eliminate him before he surpassed the physical body he was possessing.

"It should still be a bit far. I haven't had my Qi and blood tested recently, so I'm not sure."

Liu Ru's words served as a reminder to him, and he decided to have his Qi and blood tested before leaving.

"Want to lend a hand?"

With Venom under control, Meng Chuan's current martial arts training progress is underway.

"Next time."

He was out of time; after finishing his blood and qi test at the testing room, he was ready to go home.

After all, it was getting dark, and we should learn from past mistakes.

Blood and Qi Testing Room.

After connecting the sensor, Meng Chuan performed a set of boxing techniques with fluid movements.

Test complete:

[Qi and Blood Value: 27.56, Fifth Level of Qi and Blood]

Meng Chuan was just over four points away from the standard of 32 points for the sixth level. He secretly encouraged himself and tried to finish it within ten days!

In the Martial Artist stage, the required health and mana for each level is more than double that of the previous level.

After reaching the intermediate martial artist stage, the speed of progressing through levels becomes increasingly slower.

As for breaking through to the seventh level and mastering the Transformation of Strength, it becomes even more difficult, requiring a large amount of Qi and Blood for each advancement.

“For example, Sister Ru was stuck at the sixth level for seven or eight years before she was finally able to break through recently.”

Therefore, even though Meng Chuan possesses three major qualities, he still has to work hard and persevere in his martial arts training.

But he was already quite satisfied with his speed; haste makes waste.

Just focus on practicing your skills; doing more is worse than thinking too much.

The tram traveled a long way.

It was rush hour, and Meng Chuan gripped the handle above with one hand while casually opening his personal center on the martial arts forum with the other, where he opened the basic external martial arts course he had recently purchased.

The title of the second lesson is "On the Practical Impact of Innate Talent and Comprehension on External Kung Fu Practice". On the screen, "Chen Yu, the Dragon King of Thick Earth" speaks eloquently, making even a lot of complicated data and theories easy to understand.

Meng Chuan listened and couldn't help but nod in agreement. As expected of a professional external martial arts professor, he explained it very well.

[Taiyi Three Talents Stance: Human Stance (62%) Awaiting Limit Break]

After finishing his standing meditation practice at night, Meng Chuan felt exceptionally good today and didn't feel tired at all.

"There's 8% left, and the human stake is about to enter the final stage."

The final stage of the human stance – the body gets used to the correct structure, without any special sensations.

Reaching this stage means that the martial artist's stance training is about to reach its end.

Moreover, after reaching the third stage, the martial artist's body has long been accustomed to the stance, which will be much more comfortable. This is also the goal that most people persevere in.

"Keep pushing! It won't be so hard once you get to the last stage!"

Unfortunately, after breaking through to the level of a martial artist, there will be new stances to continue honing one's will and enduring physical hardship.

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan couldn't help but sigh:
"The path of martial arts is like the Shu Road, fraught with countless dangers and difficulties. Every punch is made with blood and sweat, and every step is arduous!"

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan was filled with renewed energy.

He turned over and ran to the rooftop to practice Luo-style Bajiquan for a while. After practicing several times, he finally went downstairs to rest, satisfied.

The next night.

Meng Chuan practiced standing meditation at home during the day and set aside time in the evening to learn new body techniques from Master Luo.

Just as I was leaving, my uncle Meng Yongzhi returned from get off work.

He came back more than an hour late today. Knowing that Meng Chuan was going to his master's house to practice martial arts tonight, he specially brought some food for Meng Chuan.

"These are Old Liu's roast chicken and pig's trotters. I queued for ages to buy them. Take them and eat with your master."

Meng Chuan could not refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.

“I’ve left some for my family. Your aunt doesn’t like to eat meat. I’m getting old, so I can’t keep up with you young people and martial artists. I need to eat less meat to stay healthy.”

Then came another round of instructions to Meng Chuan, telling him to be careful and practice martial arts diligently.

He showed no impatience and listened attentively as his uncle finished speaking.

Finally, after his uncle finished speaking, he spoke up:
"During this time, Uncle, please be careful when you go to and from get off work, and also be careful when you go on missions."

Meng Yongzhi smiled and patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder, saying:

"Thanks to my good nephew."

"Our police station recently established a new Intelligent Control Department and is starting to implement artificial intelligence."

Chief Inspector Long specifically requested that I be transferred to this new department, where I won't have to go on fieldwork and my salary has increased significantly.

"Really? That's because you did a good job, Uncle. It has nothing to do with me."

"Haha, how could that be? I know my own limitations."

After Meng Chuan went downstairs, he felt even more grateful to Chief Long, who seemed to have taken the incident of his uncle's attack to heart.

Although it was a small matter for him, ensuring his uncle's safety was the greatest help he could receive.

Huayun Mansion A003.

Today, since the master's wife was not home, the two of them broke the three or four pounds of roasted chicken and pig's trotters into small pieces and enjoyed them with chili oil and garlic sauce.

Luo Guanyun also enjoyed his meal.

"Liu's roast chicken is indeed quite good, very fragrant."

After the meal, Luo Guanyun straightened his expression and led Meng Chuan into the training room.

"No need to digest, doing two rounds of boxing is better than anything else."

"Come on, attack!"

Amidst the clash of fists and feet, Luo Guanyun effortlessly parried Meng Chuan's fierce attacks.

His insight was so keen that he could tell at a glance that Meng Chuan's strength had improved significantly, and he was very satisfied.

This reminded him of a simulation game his wife loved to play before bed; she would be especially happy every time the little character on screen grew a bit.

He is now sparring with Meng Chuan, just like Ren Ping feels when playing games; it gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

After a sparring session lasting more than ten minutes, Meng Chuan was knocked back several steps by Luo Guanyun's skillful punch.

After the two had both stood still, Luo Guanyun spoke:
"Warm-up is over. Now I'll teach you the movement technique, 'Climbing the Cloud Ladder'."

"After you learn it, you need to control the degree of practice yourself."
It's best to practice it together with the boxing techniques after you've mastered them to save time, since you also have external martial arts and stance training, which will take up a significant amount of time.

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Luo Guanyun continued:
"The second-rate body technique of Xingyi School, 'Climbing the Cloud Ladder,' is characterized by its flexibility, versatility, lightness, and speed."

Its main strength lies in its ability to maneuver and fight, quickly traversing various complex terrains and obstacles, capable of both offense and defense.
