With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 72 Mastery of Eight Extremes, Trouble at the Demon Nest
Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Mastery of Eight Extremes, Trouble at the Demon Nest
May 3rd.
The night stars have arrived.
In the training room of Luo Guanyun’s home.
Meng Chuan and Luo Guanyun stood on opposite sides. After taking a deep breath, his eyes were filled with focus and determination.
Luo Guanyun nodded slightly, signaling Meng Chuan to attack first.
"Excuse me, Master Luo."
With those words, Meng Chuan first made his move, his punches fierce yet carrying a certain softness, his footwork solid and steady.
The wind from the punches stirred the air in the room, creating a whooshing sound indoors.
Luo Guanyun, seeing Meng Chuan’s exquisite fist skill, showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, then raised his hand to respond with the Perfection-level Luo’s Eight Extremes.
As the creator of the fist skill, his seemingly effortless defenses always managed to deftly dissolve Meng Chuan’s offensives.
The time ticked away, second by second.
"Good, solid and not bad!"
"Why panic? If blocked, use softness to weave through!"
"Good!"
Meng Chuan got more engrossed as he fought, his moves constantly changing, sometimes strong and powerful, sometimes gentle as water.
Suddenly, during a fierce exchange, he felt an unprecedented sense of wandering surge within his body.
His hand movements became more fluid instantly, and the transitions he couldn’t quite grasp before were now handled with ease.
Live combat is the best teacher for fist skills, and at this moment, Luo’s Eight Extremes successfully broke through to mastery!
After several more exchanges, the two separated, and Meng Chuan stood steady.
Luo Guanyun looked at his direct disciple, his face full of satisfaction and emotion.
"Mastered it, huh? Your speed makes even me ashamed."
Meng Chuan hurriedly paid respect to the Luo school, saying:
"All thanks to Master Luo’s meticulous guidance, without Master Luo, I could not have achieved today’s breakthrough."
Luo Guanyun waved his hand with a smile, saying:
"You’re too modest, child."
"Teaching is one aspect, more importantly, it’s your own talent and effort. Now that the fist skill is mastered, don’t get complacent. The next stages of accomplishment and perfection will be even more challenging."
Meng Chuan solemnly nodded in response.
"By the way, your Inch Step has long been perfected. Would you like to train in another body technique martial art?"
Meng Chuan thought for a moment and decided against it.
"Biting off more than you can chew, body technique doesn’t greatly boost Qi Blood, and its traits are hard to develop quickly, I’ll seek Master Luo for guidance after breaking the limit of Inch Step."
The two rested for a moment, sitting and chatting idly.
Luo Guanyun changed the topic, asking:
"Have you broken through the Five Passes?"
"Already done, today my fist skill progression brought some Qi Blood growth."
"Good!"
Luo Guanyun sighed emotionally:
"Chuan’er, I used to think of letting you join the regular class of Northern United University. After all, you started late; going there to strengthen your foundation, then transferring to the Grandmaster Class later."
"But now seeing your progression speed, that thought seems too conservative."
The Grandmaster Class is the best class within Northern United University, with only one established per grade per branch campus.
Selection for the Grandmaster Class is extremely stringent, enrolling only about a dozen students each year, preferring missing out over accepting inadequate ones, with only three requirements for admissions.
"Exceptional talent, solid foundation, enormous potential."
The first point requires innate talent and comprehension, students of the Grandmaster Class must possess exceptional martial arts talent.
The second point requires Qi Blood progression speed; the strength of Qi Blood represents the foundation in fist skill and Pile Skill, with passing Five Passes before 16 or Seven Passes before 18 as barely acceptable benchmarks.
The third point tests overall quality. After comprehensive evaluation, it’s analyzed whether the student still has significant room for improvement in the future, whether the potential is exhausted.
Because Northern United University doesn’t ruin its reputation; since its establishment, every student from the Grandmaster Class, barring those who met early demise, is bound to achieve grandmastery in the future!
Luo Guanyun paced to Meng Chuan’s front, eyes gleaming, said:
"With your current martial arts momentum, I think directly entering the Grandmaster Class isn’t out of the question!"
Meng Chuan was initially stunned upon hearing this, then he suddenly recalled:
"At the last martial hall ranking competition, Master mentioned this to that red-haired lady from Yong’an Martial Arts University."
Then he asked:
"Master Luo, my foundation is still shallow, I don’t know if I have the chance..."
Luo Guanyun smiled patting Meng Chuan’s shoulder, saying:
"Rest assured, the opportunity is great."
"I’ve inquired the relevant details. Since the Yong’an Lishan campus was built only in recent years, its admission policies are slightly more lenient than the older campuses."
"Judging from the past two years, the score for Qi Blood, combat practical assessment, potential evaluation, plus an additional scoring item for personal evaluation on the citizen ID card; a total score of 73 gets you into the regular class, and 88 gets you into the Grandmaster Class."
"Moreover, with your Silver Medal, you have an advantage of approximately three to four extra points that others don’t possess."
"And, there’s your unique trait, which is also a great advantage. Starting late and having such strength, the potential evaluation, if not full marks, wouldn’t be far behind."
Hearing Master Luo’s explanation, Meng Chuan nodded slightly, the boulder in his heart slowly settling down.
"From now on, you needn’t worry about anything, just focus single-mindedly on enhancing Qi Blood and combat capabilities."
Luo Guanyun paused for thought before continuing, saying:
"For the citizen ID card personal evaluation score, having only the Silver Lion on a silver background medal isn’t quite secure enough."
"I’ve asked Bald Ape to monitor the police department’s bounty tasks. Take the suitable ones, a perfect task evaluation score would add two extra points." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Pure training without fighting is ultimately just paper talk; it’s time to see some blood."
Meng Chuan nodded affirmatively, showing no retreat in his gaze, he responded firmly:
"Rest assured, Master Luo, Meng Chuan will not disappoint you."
"Good! Then no more words, continue practicing the punches."
Luo Guanyun continued focusing on guiding Meng Chuan in punch practice.
Suddenly, an abrupt phone ringtone broke the atmosphere in the training room.
Luo Guanyun frowned slightly and picked up the phone from the rack by the wall.
Upon seeing the display on the screen from [Yong’an City Military Command], his expression quickly turned grave, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Did something happen at the Demon Nest?"
The thought crossed his mind, and he answered, bringing the phone close to his ear.
[Hello, this is Luo Guanyun.]
A hurried and deep voice came through the other end, his expression growing increasingly serious.
...
[Alright, I’ll head out immediately.]
Moments later, Luo Guanyun put down the phone and said to Meng Chuan:
"You stay at home tonight, don’t go anywhere, I have to go out, likely won’t be back tonight."
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, then couldn’t help but ask:
"Master Luo, what happened? Are you going out to catch the Human Demon?"
"Such a trivial matter doesn’t require me to step in."
Luo Guanyun hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:
"Something much more serious than the Human Demon’s scourge, something happened at the Demon Nest outside the city. According to the military command’s news, the Celestial Demon Position level is rapidly escalating, I’m afraid something indescribable inside is about to awaken."
The field level of a Demon Nest is determined by the strongest Celestial Demon level inside the nest.
Currently, the Demon Nest outside the city is at Level 4; if it rises to Level 5, this means a Celestial Demon equating to a Six-Limit Celestial King, or even a Seven-Limit Great Saint level, is about to emerge!
Meng Chuan also showed a worried expression, wondering how anyone could remain unaffected under potentially devastating circumstances.
"Don’t be overly worried, Celestial King Zheng from Yanhua Martial Arts University is keeping watch, the situation hasn’t deteriorated to that extent yet."
"Enough talk, I must hurry to respond to the summons outside the city. If there’s any emergency inside the city, make sure to stay safe!"
Meng Chuan nodded heavily.
"Understood, Master Luo."
Luo Guanyun softly stroked Meng Chuan’s hair, said no more, and turned to leave in haste.
