Before leaving in the afternoon, Meng Chuan scheduled an appointment with Sister Ru for Hall Master Luo's schedule tomorrow, and she arranged it for two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sister Ru, you punch really well. Are you a student at Martial Arts University?"
Meng Chuan wasn't sure of Sister Ru's age and assumed she was a Martial Arts University student working at the dojo to earn money.
The news of the Demon Nest appearing near Yong'an was known throughout the city, and all the students at the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo chose to go home early before dark.
Sister Ru also had some free time, saw off the other students, and chatted with Meng Chuan while they walked, as she was also heading to the station to catch the tram.
"I just graduated from Yong'an Martial Arts University a few months ago, so I'm no longer a student."
"That's impressive too, I also want to be like you and attend Martial Arts University in the future."
"You have the same foundation as me, and it's so solid. Tomorrow, find the Hall Master to learn a new fist skill to improve your Qi Blood, and in the future, you'll definitely have no problem getting into Yong'an Martial Arts University."
At this point, Sister Ru suddenly thought, Meng Chuan is younger than her, has more potential, entered the Pile Skill earlier, and has better comprehension than she did, and he's so diligent.
If I were Hall Master Luo, to truly select a direct disciple, would I choose Meng Chuan or myself?
"The tram is here, I'm off."
Sister Ru didn't dare to think any further, quickly leaving as the tram arrived.
Late at night, in the Huayun Prefecture villa area, Block A, 003.
This was a house given to Luo Guanyun by the real estate developer of Huayun Prefecture, including a small courtyard, totaling over three hundred square meters. According to the current real estate prices in Huayun Prefecture, it would cost nearly ten million.
This is a common practice in luxury communities, merely having security is useless, wealthy people don't buy it. There must be powerful martial artists living there, so that other wealthy merchants buying houses will be reassured.
And it is true, after [Qianyuan Thunder Strike·Luo Guanyun] moved in, the housing prices in Huayun Prefecture immediately increased by 30%.
At this moment, inside Block A, 003, a refined-woman with short, ear-length hair was packing a suitcase.
"The renovation of my daughter's new house is done. I'm going there to live, you stay here by yourself."
This refined woman was Luo Guanyun's wife, Ren Ping.
"Okay, go ahead."
Luo Guanyun didn't say much, nor did he try to stop her, only lying on the sofa smoking, looking up at the smoke rings escaping from his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was a rustling in the bedroom, the living room was silent, after a while, Ren Ping came out dragging two large suitcases.
Upon hearing the noise, Luo Guanyun put out his cigarette, got up to help.
"You go move the car, I'll help you with these."
"No need, Luo Meng has the car, she's waiting outside for me, do you want to come out and meet her?"
Luo Guanyun furrowed his brows, thought for a moment:
"Forget it, pay attention to safety over there."
Ren Ping stood at the hallway with her suitcase, looked at her silent husband, and suddenly her repressed emotions erupted.
"Why are you so stubborn? She's your daughter, are you going to never see her for a lifetime?"
"It's been five years. You drove your daughter out and never cared, is this how a father should be?"
Facing Ren Ping's accusations, Luo Guanyun had no words to respond.
"Time has proven everything, Luo Guanyun, you lost thoroughly, are you still in denial?"
"Your daughter has high aptitude in the Elephant Form lineage, and you're forcing her to learn your crappy Thunder technique, let me tell you, the wrong one is you!"
"What's a 'crappy Thunder technique'? You ignorant woman!"
Ren Ping's words hit Luo Guanyun's soft spot, making him completely lose control of his emotions.
Outside the villa, a rose-red streamlined sports car was parked, against its side leaned a poised beautiful woman, her light azure flowing hair matched without seeming inharmonious with the fiery red sports car.
Luo Meng was sitting in the car waiting for her mother to come out, she didn't want to meet Luo Guanyun, but suddenly, the martial artist's sixth sense warned her, the surrounding magnetic field changed.
She had to step out of the car and saw dense dark clouds gathering over the villa's roof, with faint rumbling sounds coming from the clouds.
Luo Meng knew, this was Luo Guanyun's Mental Realm altering a small area's weather.
"Cloud gathering and thunder moving, what's this old man going crazy about again?"
Luo Meng walked toward the villa, making a gesture with her right hand, and behind her emerged a phantom of a Simurgh. The wings of the Simurgh mixed with inexhaustible green flames soared around Luo Meng's body into the sky, and with a sharp cry, dispersed the dark clouds over the villa.
Elephant Form Sect, Master of the Simurgh Form — [Jade Belt Cyan Simurgh·Luo Meng].
Inside, Luo Guanyun felt his Mental Realm being dispersed by someone, and hearing that Simurgh cry, he knew it was his daughter who came.
He pushed Ren Ping aside and walked straight out.
"Learning some useless bird skills, I really want to see how much skill you've accumulated at Northern United University."
Luo Guanyun felt frustrated without a way to vent it, having been at the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo for five years, his goal was never to make money, but to find a suitable heir. Yet until now, he hadn't found anyone up to par.
The True Skill of Thunder has very high aptitude requirements. If the Thunder Seed enters the body and the person's comprehension and innate ability are not sufficient, resulting in slow progress in cultivation, practicing Thunder techniques is akin to committing suicide.
Those who can cultivate Thunder techniques are as rare as one in ten thousand, but true geniuses are coveted everywhere, with plenty of excellent masters willing to take them as disciples. Who in their right mind would choose to face a volatile Three Limits elder to cultivate such an unstable Thunder technique?
Moreover, despite the Thunder technique's formidable power, who can ensure lifelong progress without stagnation?
If stuck at a bottleneck, the Thunder Seed, without proper nurturing, will wantonly vent itself, resulting in the body's destruction!
At that time, no matter your high cultivation, if your Thunder technique isn't perfected, it wouldn't help in the least.
Daughter Luo Meng carries an upper-grade root, and at birth she was detected with a [Ethereal] trait. Together, they are said to be one in a million.
Originally, she had the top-tier aptitude to inherit the True Skill of Thunder, but she had resisted her father since youth, insisting on learning the Elephant Form's deviant path.
The dark clouds spread once again, even more overwhelmingly this time, covering the entire sky over Huayun Prefecture. Other residents witnessing the terrifying phenomena thought it was about to thunderstorm.
Huge lightning columns struck from the clouds to the ground. Wherever the lightning reached, all was annihilated.
"That's your daughter, not your enemy, have you not had enough?"
Ren Ping pushed Luo Guanyun back into the house, and he quickly retracted his Mental Realm.
His wife was only at the One Limit level, just an entry-level martial artist. If he accidentally hurt her, he would regret it for a lifetime.
Luo Meng's Dharma Aspect, the Simurgh, was covered in bruises, trying hard to protect its master against heavenly might. Seeing the phenomena disperse, the Simurgh let out a mournful cry before disappearing.
"You're headed for self-destruction, Luo Guanyun. I bet you don't have many years left!"
Ren Ping cursed, turned around and left, pulling her daughter along to the car, leaving Luo Guanyun alone in place.
Watching the receding sports car, Luo Guanyun felt conflicted. This time, even his wife had left, truly leaving him alone.
Indeed, how many more years do I have?
