Spreading his palm, Meng Chuan clearly saw a layer of pale blue lightning floating visibly on Luo Guanyun's hand.
"This is the thunder I created by connecting True Qi from the heavens and earth with the momentum of my Martial Arts.
It doesn't naturally exist between heaven and earth; I fabricated it from nothing."
Witnessing the powerful abilities of a Martial Arts Master up close for the first time, Meng Chuan couldn't help but feel a deep longing and admiration.
"Don't be envious; you will also achieve this one day."
"What you need to do now is start choosing your Martial Arts will."
"What kind of Martial Arts will are you pursuing? Or, in other words, what kind of martial artist do you want to become?"
"The Martial Arts will is like an anchor in your heart for Martial Arts, capable of setting your goal and helping you resist celestial demons and various temptations."
Hearing Luo Guanyun's words, Meng Chuan recalled everything he had experienced in Tong Family Lane; his first thought was to eliminate all celestial demons.
"I know you have ideas, but don't say them out loud yet. The Martial Arts will is not just empty words; it's a belief you need to consistently uphold."
"How is your Pile Skill training going now?"
"I can hold on for about two hours and forty minutes before reaching my limit."
"Not bad, but it's not enough."
"Training Pile Skill is endless; after mastering the Human Posture, there are Earth Posture and even Celestial Posture. The difficulty of cultivation increases by more than a hundredfold!"
"Student knows, will surely work hard on stance training!"
Luo Guanyun encouraged once more:
"Your progress in Pile Skill is decent, keep practicing daily to the limit, use your heart to perceive its profundities, and feel your inner self, what you truly aspire for in Martial Arts will.
When you no longer feel any fatigue while standing in Human Posture, it indicates perfection. Next is integrating True Skill to consolidate your unique Martial Arts will."
"Remember what I've told you today; to break through the nine Qi Blood and become a martial artist, you need Human Posture perfection, True Skill initiation, and Martial Arts will materialization to be interconnected, only then can you achieve becoming a martial artist."
"Student will remember."
Becoming a martial artist isn't simple at all; no wonder the number hasn't increased much despite technological advances.
Yet, he harbored no thoughts of fear or retreat.
With the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel, coupled with his earnest heart, being a martial artist wouldn't be an obstacle but the beginning of everything.
Luo Guanyun nodded:
"It's not too early to tell you these things now. The sooner you understand, the better.
Alright, let's continue practicing punches, from ground level to build a skyscraper, first enhance your Qi Blood strength."
With that, Luo Guanyun withdrew his own momentum.
"Come, let's see if your Cannon Fist has achieved great success, attack me."
Meng Chuan cupped his hands in respect:
"Teacher, be careful."
"Hold on, walk and stand with me, and practice together with your body technique to enhance combat effectiveness."
"I also watched the video of your valiant act today, I know you were forced to fight back,
but your moves were not sharp enough. With the same cultivation, if it were me, I'd crush his bones with the first grapple, rendering him incapable of standing up again!"
Meng Chuan was embarrassed; Master Luo's personality has always been straightforward and decisive.
After getting on the wooden stake, Meng Chuan launched an aggressive attack on Master Luo, with six successive cannon-like sounds echoing in the air.
Luo Guanyun lifted his instep to strike the wooden stake he was standing on, and his body floated sideways backward, then he landed firmly on another stake, evading Meng Chuan's attack.
"Not bad, it indeed has reached great success."
"Keep going, make use of Inch Step to attack me, don't hold back, exert your full strength."
Meng Chuan continued by using Inch Step to launch an attack, while Luo Guanyun drifted like a dry leaf on the stakes in the wind.
Meng Chuan could never keep up with his rhythm, not even touching Luo's clothes.
While dodging, Luo Guanyun instructed Meng Chuan:
"To move the rear foot forward, first the front foot must inch slightly; after which, move the rear foot; if you don't move the rear foot and want to advance with body technique, only inch the front foot slightly. Mind your steps,
while keeping your hand skills steady, keep the Cannon frame stable, every punch should produce six echoing sounds."
"Understood, Master Luo."
And so, for about forty minutes, they played a game of cat and mouse on the stakes.
The high-intensity training using both hands and feet caused Meng Chuan to break into a sweat, seeing this, Luo Guanyun jumped off the stake and pointed his feet lightly on the ground, standing firmly he said:
"Take a break, Martial Arts training needs a balance of tension and relaxation, sit down, have some water, and reflect on your moves just now."
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement.
Despite showing no emotion outwardly, Luo Guanyun was a bit surprised inside.
Throughout the forty minutes, although Meng Chuan didn't touch him once, each punch delivered a consistent six echoing sounds!
Moreover, Meng Chuan strived to integrate Inch Step with each move, showing new progress each time.
Although progress between each punch was small, as a martial artist of the third limit, Luo Guanyun could feel it.
This isn't simply due to a good state today, there must be some {trait} influencing it.
"Another new trait discovered, a 100% stable progress without regression, what an unusual trait..."
A few days ago, Luo Guanyun logged into his Martial Arts Association privilege account.
Queried all currently known innate and postnatal awakened traits, found that the trait Meng Chuan awakened shares similarities with some known traits but also differs.
For example, today's new discovery couldn't be found on the Martial Arts Association website, suggesting Meng Chuan awakened a potentially new, undiscovered trait.
Luo Guanyun felt that just by this alone, Meng Chuan's future accomplishments would undoubtedly surpass his own; never regressing and always progressing, what an astounding ability.
"This lad is fearsome indeed, fortunately, he is my disciple."
Upon this thought, Luo Guanyun couldn't help but smile.
Meng Chuan, resting on the side, saw that before practicing martial arts Luo seemed displeased, but now he was grinning to himself, leaving him puzzled.
Luo Guanyun shouted loudly:
"Rest time is over, come up and continue! Let's strive to master the body technique today!"
Meng Chuan didn't hesitate, put down the cup in his hand, then leapt onto the wooden stake.
"From now on, I'll only throw punches your way, and you can only dodge using Inch Step; if you can't dodge, use Cannon Fist's intercepting strength to block. Alright, let's begin."
In the wooden stake area, two figures, one chasing and one evading, occasionally the pursued would turn to counterattack.
Meng Chuan recalled key points of Inch Step in his mind, continuously dodging Luo Guanyun's attacks.
When unavoidable, he used Cannon Fist to intercept Master Luo's punches.
This time, he only lasted less than five minutes before Luo Guanyun swept him off the stakes with a leg sweep.
Meng Chuan got up from the ground and said angrily:
"Master Luo, you promised only to use punches, why did you suddenly use leg to ambush!"
