With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 94 - 93: King of Standing Firm, Celestial Demon Weapon

Chapter 94: Chapter 93: King of Standing Firm, Celestial Demon Weapon

Next Monday.

The alarm has been lifted, and Ping’an Middle School has resumed classes.

Meng Chuan arrived at the school, fully enjoying the top-tier treatment.

When thirsty, someone pours water; when tired, someone massages his legs. Practicing fist skills with Teacher Liang does not show any signs of coercion.

"Xiaomeng, is the strength of Teacher Liang okay?"

"Phew— not bad, continue, Teacher Liang."

After lunch, Meng Chuan decided to first practice the posture stance skill.

He felt that the afternoon is the best time to stand post and temper his will, as it tends to make one sleepy!

The surrounding classmates, practicing their fists, were drowsy, watching with admiration as Meng Chuan stood there with his eyes wide open practicing the posture stance skill.

Their hearts were filled with admiration:

"He’s truly badass, practicing fists the whole morning and still managing to stand post in the afternoon without dozing off. Truly worthy of being Brother Chuan."

"Terrifying, astonishingly terrifying."

Meng Chuan, against the wall, ignored what others said and persisted on his own.

With the progress in posture stance skill, he was now able to think about the mysteries of martial arts while standing post without any pressure.

He felt fulfilled and not at all sleepy.

"As proficiency exceeds 60%, the rate of improvement slows down.

Master Luo was right; the path of martial arts is both built and hindered by the stance skill."

Without the posture stance skill to improve the muscle body and allow it to accommodate more Qi Blood, there would be no high-flying martial arts family.

"When practicing fist skills and body techniques, sometimes I gain sudden insights or continue practicing using the experience of pre-existing cultivation techniques, but the Three Talents Posture has no shortcuts; it requires hard work."

However, it’s not entirely without shortcuts. Meng Chuan previously saw on the Martial Arts Association’s official site that there are elixirs beneficial for posture stance skill.

Yet, the annotations indicated they can only be consumed and refined after becoming a martial arts family.

Moreover, the prices are tremendously high, purchasing one would bankrupt an average family.

...

After finishing the posture stance practice, Meng Chuan relaxed his stiff body.

Seeing Teacher Chen Tie teaching, he waited for a while until the student finished learning and left.

He then approached with a sparring proposal.

"Iron Master, shall we spar?"

"Let’s do it."

The sound of continuous slapping echoed around.

The classmates all agreed that Meng Chuan is quite something, hard on himself!

Half an hour later, after the spar, Meng Chuan applied the Muscle Nourishing Ointment with great relief.

"It’s gotta be Teacher Chen Tie’s Iron Palm that’s better than any wooden, iron, or rubber stick."

[Qi Nourishing Armor Technique: Beginner (69%) → (70%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]

As proficiency increased, Meng Chuan felt himself getting tougher.

Of course, only his body surface was getting tougher; he wouldn’t dare let Iron Master spar on his vital areas...

Chen Tie shook his stiff hands, curiously asking:

"I heard you’re asking for leave again tomorrow, what’s up, busy man?"

"The Weapons and Technology Research Institute asked me to visit tomorrow."

"...You’re impressive."

In the evening, after practicing the Cloud-Ascending Ladder for a while, Meng Chuan prepared for sleep.

The proficiency growth rate for the Cloud-Ascending Ladder was fast; practicing for just over an hour increased proficiency by five percent.

[Cloud-Ascending Ladder: Beginner (9%) → (14%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]

This is the greatest benefit of breaking the Inch Step limit and attaining the Light Body trait, enhancing comprehension of body techniques.

Had it been before, improvement so effortless and swift would be unimaginable.

Meng Chuan dedicated half an hour before bed to relaxation; constantly being on edge isn’t good, and balancing work and rest is most important.

Thus, he watched the external martial art theory video he had previously purchased with great interest.

Who doesn’t love a strong physique; Meng Chuan was falling more and more in love with practicing external martial arts...

...

Early the next morning.

Beilin District Research Institute.

"Kid, this is a military zone, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

Meng Chuan showed the gatekeeper the message, and the elder swiftly let him through.

After entering the hall, what met Meng Chuan’s eyes was a plethora of various intelligent interactive devices and futuristic architectural structures, as if he was in a sci-fi movie from a past life.

"Hello, are you Meng Chuan?"

A researcher with hefty square glasses approached to greet him, his glasses exuding an exquisite technological beauty.

"Yes, hello."

Meng Chuan extended his hand for a handshake.

"The police department has prepared your reward inside, please come in, everything is ready."

The two walked inside the futuristic building, and the researcher, seemingly noticing Meng Chuan’s curiosity, smiled and said:

"This reward is special, it’s our newly developed technology weapon that just passed inspection,

not yet mass-produced, you need to receive it here and learn how to use it."

Meng Chuan understood and nodded slightly.

His eyes showed a hint of excitement and curiosity, looking forward to the so-called weapon.

The leading researcher moved steadily, introducing the surroundings to Meng Chuan along the way:

"This is our achievements exhibition area, every invention embodies countless researchers’ hard work, and your reward is among the best."

This person was quite talkative. Seeing Meng Chuan silent and seemingly uninterested, he voluntarily added:

"Let me tell you, this weapon is made from materials from the Celestial Demon, not something that grows inside the Demon Nest!"

Hearing this, Meng Chuan became even more curious.

Soon, Meng Chuan followed the person to a room brimming with a silver-white metallic texture, filled with various boxes.

On a jet-black box was a peculiarly painted silver-white giant eye that looked somewhat sinister.

The researchers stepped forward and gently pressed the button in the center of the box, which slowly opened.

The interior space of the box seemed quite large, but it was surrounded by sponge-like cushioning material, with only a palm-sized glass bottle of normal cup thickness in the middle.

Inside the glass bottle, an unknown black liquid was continuously flowing.

Meng Chuan looked at the other person.

"Is this... a weapon?"

"Yes, don’t be fooled by its current appearance. Once you take it out, you’ll be amazed."

"Try unscrewing the cap on top."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan stepped forward, took out the bottle, and shook it twice.

The liquid inside the bottle seemed unaffected by gravity. No matter how it was shaken, it clung tightly to the inner wall, flowing chaotically and irregularly.

"Don’t be afraid, try opening it. Although it looks like this now, it’s actually a pair of gloves.

We call it the [Steel Bone Generation 3]. Its greatest function is that once worn, it allows the wearer’s hands to penetrate through the Celestial Demon Force Field."

"You understand what I mean, right? It can touch Celestial Demons, though it’s limited to lower-tier Celestial Demons."

Meng Chuan was indeed shocked to hear this. It was common knowledge that only True Qi could break the Celestial Demon Force Field.

Unexpectedly, technology has advanced so much that even if it’s limited to lower-tier Celestial Demons, it’s still impressive.

"This is the latest cutting-edge technology we’ve developed: using Celestial Demon to counter Celestial Demon."

The researcher nodded, seeing that Meng Chuan remained silent, and continued,

"The outer material is composed of mica filaments, and the internal liquid is sourced from the remnants of dead Celestial Demons. This is also the core material of the gloves."

"This kind of Celestial Demon is called [Venom], have you heard of it?"

Meng Chuan nodded, Master Luo had mentioned it to him.

[Venom] is a type of solid Celestial Demon, but it can transform and parasitize, often outshining many illusion-type Celestial Demons in disguise capabilities.

At the same time, it possesses powerful strength, speed, and regeneration abilities, making it a challenging type of Celestial Demon.

Following the researcher’s instructions, Meng Chuan unscrewed the bottle cap, and the black liquid inside immediately became motionless.

"Next, take out your phone and pair it with the built-in chip inside, and you can use it."

Meng Chuan first downloaded the app sent by the other party, followed the step-by-step operations, and with the final step, clicked pair.

A pair of narrow white giant eyes popped up on the phone screen, making Meng Chuan pause in surprise.

"Hahaha, this means pairing was successful; a little playful touch of ours, don’t mind it. You can set it yourself on your phone later."

Meng Chuan opened the app’s homepage, which was very concise, with only two lines of text.

They were combat mode and daily mode, respectively.

"Meng Chuan, first set up the daily mode."

After clicking, several options popped up, including bracelet, watch, and hand chain styles.

Meng Chuan selected the watch.

The originally motionless black liquid seemed to receive a life command.

After a series of twitching changes, it transformed into a delicate black watch, the surface exuding a cold metallic luster.

Meng Chuan put it on his wrist, moved around a bit, finding it very fitting and not impeding his fist practice, even realizing it could display the time.

"Our built-in plugin, impressive, isn’t it?"

Meng Chuan instinctively nodded, surprised that technology hadn’t lagged too much behind even as Martial Arts flourished.

Next, Meng Chuan followed the other’s instructions to set up combat mode.

"You can issue a convenient operation command yourself, making it more convenient."

Meng Chuan thought for a moment, made a ninja hand sign gesture, and then had the system memorize it.

"Too simple commands might be triggered automatically when unwanted, hand signs are not bad."

"Oh, are you a Buddhist by any chance?"

With the combat mode activation command initiated, the watch quickly melted upwards and covered.

With both palms together, both hands were wrapped in ink-black.

Very thin and light, Meng Chuan shook his hands twice, feeling as if he wasn’t wearing anything at all.

"Let’s go, test the performance over there."

"With Black Pattern Steel-crafted test columns, feel free to hit them with Steel Bone, if your hand hurts, I lose."

Meng Chuan was somewhat skeptical of his words, applying force from light to full strength, the column making ’thud thud’ sounds from the strikes.

After experiencing it, he felt it was indeed incredible, not feeling any counter-recoil force on his hand.

Then he tested the defensive performance, effortlessly catching a white blade with bare hands. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Meng Chuan became engrossed, went to hit the column for a while, and only stopped when the researchers approached and continued,

"Steel Bone Generation 3 has a standby duration; when it’s out of [power], it needs an energy supply, as energy is conserved."

"Daily mode barely consumes energy, almost negligible, but combat mode with full energy can only be used continuously for 8 hours."

"These are the energy blocks it needs, YM energy alloy, extracted from mica filaments, market price fifty thousand per block."

"To charge, simply attach the two together, the Steel Bone will automatically devour, and will automatically stop when fully charged. A whole block is just enough to go from 0 to fully charged once, so use it sparingly if you aren’t doing anything."

"...Why didn’t you say so earlier."

Meng Chuan had just hit a column for a while, spending at least thousands.

Though this thing was quite the cash drain, good stuff wasn’t concerned with battery money, and he had some savings to maintain it.

"Thank you, by the way, if this thing were sold, about how much would it go for?"

"Don’t get ideas about reselling, it should be used for military technology; once production increases, civilian sales channels should start opening."

Meng Chuan nodded and fell silent again, but this talkative person continued,

"Judging by the production cost... It should be no less than five million."

"Impressive! Inspector Long Jiu is amazing!"

He couldn’t help but feel in his heart that even selling his uncle’s house, adding his own over a million wouldn’t be enough.

Thinking back to when he took the [Armor Holding Certificate] test a few days ago, simulating a small Celestial Demon in the Demon Nest.

"If I had [Steel Bone] back then, I might have been able to punch it to pieces!"

The strength range of lower-tier Celestial Demons is quite large; without their strange force fields, the weakest have power similar to a Martial Artist at the first Qi and Blood Gate.

While the strongest bunch among lower-tier Celestial Demons have strength comparable to nine gates.

With something on hand to restrain Celestial Demons, Meng Chuan’s sense of security surged immensely, even more profound than when he first got protective gear.

Rather than curling up and waiting for rescue, he preferred to carve a path with his fists!
