Luo Guanyun's irritability is not without reason; as a Three Limits expert, his body is nourished and regulated by True Qi, extending his lifespan to at least two or three times that of an ordinary person.
However, due to being stuck at the third major limit for over a decade, his cultivation of the Thunder Planting Skill cannot break through, and the Thunder Seed within him is about to erupt.
The fourth limit, the Grandmaster Realm, is a major threshold for a Martial Arts Family, very difficult to overcome. Luo Guanyun had to take a different path, practicing the Five Elements Water Attribute "Profound Yin Moonlight True Skill" to neutralize the Thunder Seed within.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal, only barely delaying the eruption of the Thunder Seed without curing it.
At the same time, the power of the two opposing True Skills constantly counterbalance and fight within his body, affecting his spleen and stomach, leading to uneven liver fire and frequent irritability.
"Was I really wrong? But my daughter, her talent surely can bring the Thunder Skill to its highest depth,
I have raised her for more than ten years; she, as a child of the Luo family, inheriting the Thunder Skill True Skill is her duty and responsibility, yet she refuses to learn. I am not wrong, she is!"
"I must find someone whose talent matches hers, to practice the Thunder Skill and prove everything."
...
"Sister Ru, what does the banner above the martial arts hall's entrance mean?"
Meng Chuan sat across from Liu Ru in the restaurant, drinking Tendons and Bones Liquid with the nutritious breakfast provided by the martial arts hall, and asked.
"Nothing special, Hall Master Luo wants to recruit more students."
Liu Ru was very tired and didn't want to explain too much.
This morning, when Meng Chuan arrived, he saw the newly hung banner above the martial arts hall entrance.
"Gather the world's talents, if you have talent, come!"
"Chuan, that was really good!"
"Give it another try, it's really exciting to watch!"
In the training ground, a group of people surrounded Meng Chuan, watching him practice National Fist. After competing with Wang Yue yesterday, Meng Chuan became the star attraction in the martial arts hall.
Meng Chuan was very upset; with so many people around him, how could he comprehend National Fist? If he had known, he would have come at noon.
"Hey kid, I feel like you're threatening my position. Let's duel!"
Le Ping joined in the commotion.
"Have some shame, the man hasn't even reached the first gate, and you want to fight him across three stages?"
"I'll fight you, come, let's go to the ring now."
Wang Dong pulled Le Ping towards the ring.
The person speaking was the martial arts hall's elder brother, who had been studying martial arts here the longest and was the oldest, but unfortunately, he was still stuck at the fourth Qi and Blood Gate even though he was over thirty.
This fully proves one thing about the martial arts path: the most important thing is not persistence, but talent.
"Brother Wang, please don't, I was wrong!" Le Ping begged repeatedly when he saw the elder brother standing up for Meng Chuan.
The crowd was drawn over by the commotion, leaving Meng Chuan in peace to begin carefully comprehending National Fist.
Until two o'clock in the afternoon, which was his appointment time with the hall master, Meng Chuan still couldn't break through the last 1%.
With the Pile Skill, his National Fist indeed became more fluid, but no new understanding appeared. Could he have thought wrong? Pile Skill might not bring Limit Breaking to National Fist.
"It doesn't matter if you want to hit me, come on."
Meng Chuan decided that next he must ask the hall master clearly how to achieve the "Master Realm" he speaks of, even if he gets hit again, it didn't matter.
When it was time, Meng Chuan waited at the training room door and didn't go in, because he could hear the screams coming from inside the room.
The hall master delayed today, still fiercely beating the previous student even though the time had come.
"Exceeding five minutes counts against class time, get out!"
The student crawled out in a hurry, and as he passed by Meng Chuan, he gave him a look of pity.
Meng Chuan turned to enter, Luo Guanyun was tidying up the creases in his shirt from moving.
"Oh, it's you, come in, I remember teaching the Pile Skill last weekend, have you mastered the basics?"
As a Martial Arts Master, Luo Guanyun has an excellent memory.
"Mastered."
Then, Meng Chuan adopted a horse stance, channeling his energy from the top of his head to his feet, and then took a deep breath, exhaling a visible white gas.
"Hmm, not bad, exhaling like an arrow, you've mastered the basics,
Pay attention to the number of stances every day, if possible, you can have some medicinal meals to replenish."
Meng Chuan replied that he was drinking Mingde Pharmaceutical's Tendons and Bones Liquid, Luo Guanyun jumped over and knocked him lightly.
"Who told you to drink supplements? Medicinal meals, it's medicinal meals!"
"Medicinal meals are pure natural, a soup made by stewing tonic herbs, consuming it leaves no residue in your body like supplements do,
Your foundation is ordinary, so if you want to practice Xingyi further, don't let your body accumulate too many residues, this will make breakthroughs difficult later, remember what I said today, understand?"
"Understood, teacher." Since the other is a Martial Arts Master, he must listen.
At this point, Meng Chuan was quite obedient, which made Luo Guanyun very satisfied:
"As long as you understand, now there are too many people eager for success, all wanting to practice high-grade fist skills and gobble supplements, it is rare to see someone like you who can steadily lay a foundation."
Meng Chuan knows deep down, if he didn't have the panel, he would also go to practice those fist skills with more power and Qi and blood.
"By the way, how many days did it take you to master the basics?"
"Around two and a half days, learned last Saturday, mastered by Monday."
"Hmm..."
"Ah, not quite impressive, the foundation isn't great either."
Although this kid's perseverance is amazing, and his character suits his taste, having him learn Thunder Skill might be difficult even at the entry level.
"No worries, today I'll teach you a fist skill."
"The fist skill I'm teaching you is called 'Xingyi Sect Five Elements Fire Attribute Eight Gates Cannon Fist,' or simply 'Cannon Fist.'"
"Cannon Fist is the most vigorous and fierce in the third-tier martial arts, some second-tier fist skills can't even compare in power. The practice progress is divided into three paths, six paths, and nine paths. Mastering the nine paths of Cannon Fist proves perfection, like this."
As he spoke, Luo Guanyun stood up and performed, his legs slightly bent, arms forming supports in front and behind, then his right hand slammed forward forcefully, like thunder breaking ground, a loud "boom" echoed.
"Oh mother, won't Meng Chuan junior brother be smashed by Brother Luo with one punch?"
After being repaired by Wang Dong, Le Ping came over to eavesdrop through the door.
Instructor Liu Ru also joined in, feeling worried and uneasy, fearing that Luo Guanyun might be pleased with the talent and accept Meng Chuan as a direct disciple.
Luo Guanyun sensed someone listening through the crack:
"Those outside the door, want to come in and learn together?"
Le Ping and Liu Ru scrambled to leave, not daring to stay any longer.
After dismantling Cannon Fist, Luo Guanyun practiced it several more times, which Meng Chuan diligently recorded.
"Show me a round."
Meng Chuan tried to perform based on his impression, and thanks to his solid foundation in National Fist, he quickly got the hang of it, although he was still a bit away from mastering it, and his panel didn't register Cannon Fist.
"Hmm, getting there, practice more when you go back."
Luo Guanyun checked the time, it was only forty minutes in, his foundation was good, other trainees took three to four class hours to learn Cannon Fist, but this kid practiced a decent round without even using a full class hour.
"Master Luo, I'm still not satisfied; I truly want to break through National Fist to the Master Realm. How can I achieve it?"
