With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal
Chapter 44: Fist Shakes the Universe

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Fist Shakes the Universe

Stretching tendons and pulling bones, pile skill leads to the Dao.

The master has always taught him the importance of pile skill, and he never retreated due to the fatigue and boredom of standing postures.

The Xingyi Three Talents Posture and the Elephant Form Dragon and Tiger Posture are the foundation of all martial arts in this world, including true skills and ultimate skills.

Although the master’s teachings were profound, Meng Chuan summarized them into one sentence.

The proficiency of pile skill represents the capacity of the body to contain qi and blood; for example, his current progress is at 47%, which means the limit of qi and blood he can contain in his body is at the fourth qi and blood gate approaching the fifth gate.

After the founding of Great Chu, the founding emperor swept away all obstacles with great determination, gathering all pile skills from sects and schools in the martial arts world.

He then established the Martial Arts Association, bringing together the pile skills mastered by various families, undergoing decades of research to unify all methods, and only then created these two world-shocking studies.

The Human Posture is merely the simplest first realm of the Taiyi Three Talents Posture.

Afterwards, there are Earth Posture, Celestial Posture, and even the unification of the Three Talents.

Therefore, pile skill is a lifelong practice, as the master once taught him.

"You must now learn to enjoy standing postures, and when you reach the realm of a martial artist and start practicing Earth Posture, the friction and stimulation with the internal membrane will itch and hurt all over, only then will you realize how comfortable it was to practice Human Posture before."

"Human Posture is really not difficult, nor does it have the proficiency standards of various fist skills, the longer you stand, the higher your attainment, once you have entered the door, you have learned it, it’s like a daily fixed lesson."

"Pile skill is a water-milling effort like dropping water that drills through stone, it’s impossible to quickly accomplish it, even the most invincible genius has to be grounded and endure it out!"

"The practice of pile skill cannot be interrupted for even a single day, until the day of death can it cease!"

The admonition of Master Luo echoed in his mind for a long time.

Meng Chuan’s understanding of martial arts was rapidly taking root in his heart.

The New Year was approaching.

He pondered for a moment and set a short-term goal and a long-term goal in his heart.

The short-term goal is to strive to reach above the sixth qi and blood gate within a year, currently, qi and blood cultivation is undoubtedly the top priority.

As for the long-term goal, he has a bold ambition, which is to gather all martial arts in the world and break through their limits.

Truly achieve "all qualities are bestowed upon oneself"!

"In the new year, I will continue tirelessly, using sweat to prove my path to martial arts."

...

February 13th, the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Meng Chuan’s cousin, Meng Yiyi, the biological daughter of his uncle Meng Yongzhi, is coming home.

Since before the New Year, Xue Na has been calling every day, asking when Meng Yiyi would come home for the New Year.

Meng Chuan’s cousin Meng Yiyi attends a cultural research university out of town.

Although she is only a freshman, society does not support idlers, even cultural students have to work hard starting from their freshman year.

Therefore, she missed coming home for reunion on New Year’s Eve, only confirming her return after the third day of the first lunar month.

Even during the holiday, Meng Chuan still gets up at four or five o’clock to practice martial arts on the rooftop.

Today, he is particularly excited because his proficiency in Cannon Fist is about to reach perfection!

When qi is abundant, determination flourishes; when qi is weak, the mind is clouded.

Cannon Fist belongs to the Xingyi Sect’s fire attribute fist skill, emphasizing the kind of unstoppable momentum when punching, no matter how strong the enemy is, I will break through all methods with one punch!

[Cannon Fist: Great Success (99%) pending Limit Breaking]

Only 1% left, Meng Chuan closes his eyes and recalls the key points taught by the master.

"Sink your waist, hold down, tighten the core strength, punch with a fluid opening and closing, explode like a cannon suddenly!"

With the support of eternal proof and Meng Chuan’s long-term practice, he gradually understood the key points within it.

In an instant, Meng Chuan’s body moved.

He stepped forward with an inch step, his left hand drilled upward along his body, his elbow slightly drooping, and his fist drilling to the center of his forehead.

His right hand grasped the essence of Cannon Fist, his mind without distractions, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and suddenly lifted to his chest and forcefully struck out.

The cannon sound resounded through the sky!

Adding a bit more festivity to this New Year.

Then, Meng Chuan continued with his efforts without hesitation, his feet changing continuously with inch steps to increase momentum, his hands generating force with Cannon Fist, the booming sound of cannon fire was endless, easily performing an eight-shot combo!

At this moment, Meng Chuan’s core area still did not relax, further tightening and exerting force.

His wrists continued to twist inward following his body, his right hand drilling to the center of his forehead, his wrist twisting out with force.

Simultaneously, his left hand twisted to his chest, with a step forward with his left foot, suddenly exerting explosive force to issue the final earth-shattering sound!

"Boom!!!"

On the rooftop, the last ninth shot shattered the hazy morning light.

The electric scooters parked below simultaneously triggered their anti-theft alarms.

At this moment, Cannon Fist had achieved perfection.

Meng Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel.

[Cannon Fist: Perfection (1%) pending Limit Breaking]

[Limit Breaking Quality: Heavy Strike (Basic)]

With Cannon Fist breaking into perfection, Meng Chuan had no time to savor the feeling of realm breakthrough before he felt a rumbling hunger in his stomach and his body suddenly felt ravenous.

This is a normal reaction due to the substantial increase in qi and blood necessitating intense consumption of nutrients within the body.

"After the recent Inch Step breakthrough to great success, I went to the martial arts gym to measure qi and blood, 7.51 is about to break through 8 points and enter the fourth qi and blood gate.

Adding today’s Cannon Fist perfection, the massive qi and blood provided by both must be enough to enter the fourth gate,

And the body’s strong hunger response indicates the newly generated qi and blood within is extremely abundant,

It’s likely not just a simple entry into the fourth gate."

Thinking of this, the hunger drove Meng Chuan to quickly put on his clothes and go downstairs to eat.

His uncle had gone to the police station for duty early in the morning, while his aunt was alone in the kitchen making breakfast.

Seeing his aunt cooking, Meng Chuan asked her to heat a few more buns.

Then he opened the refrigerator and took out chocolates, protein bars, medicinal paste, and other items, devouring them in no time.

After eating, Meng Chuan finally felt the hunger subside by more than half.

A warm current started emanating from his stomach, then spread to various parts of his body providing nutrients, and since only martial artists can introspectively view their bodies, Meng Chuan could only speculate based on feeling.

Seeing Meng Chuan sweeping the refrigerator like a storm, Xue Na asked in puzzlement:

"What happened Chuan, why are you so hungry?"

Meng Chuan patiently explained:

"A small breakthrough in martial arts, I need to replenish my body with nutrients."

Xue Na roughly understood:

"Oh, alright, eat first, after you finish eating, I’ll simmer some medicinal food for you."

"By the way, remember to bring to your master the cured meat and sausages that your uncle bought, they’re made from the finest free-range black pork from the mountains, it’s very delicious."

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, just in time for he planned to call Master Luo in a while to see if he could teach him a new fist skill in the afternoon, and conveniently bring the things to him.

After devouring another five warm steamed buns, paired with high-protein stewed beef, Meng Chuan felt his body finally completely comfortable.
