Hearing Yu Kaidong's words, Meng Chuan smiled and cupped his hands:
"Come on, Kaidong bro, give it your all."
Meng Chuan stood in place waiting for the opponent to make a move, because Yu Kaidong's Qi and Blood was too low, Meng Chuan was worried that a perfected Cannon Fist could knock him out.
Thus, he planned to let the opponent attack first and dodge for a bit, practicing his Inch Step body technique.
Although he just broke through 8 points of Qi and Blood, he hadn't yet comprehended Dark Strength.
But the martial artist's path has a total of nine Qi and Blood Gates, and the fourth gate is already an intermediate stage for martial artists.
Once a martial artist reaches the intermediate stage, due to the further refinement of Qi and Blood, the power the body unleashes is far beyond what those who have reached the third gate can challenge.
Yu Kaidong felt Meng Chuan was a bit arrogant, thinking a freshman kid wasn't taking him seriously.
With his girlfriend beside him, he couldn't act up, so he said:
"I'm afraid of hurting you, Xiaomeng, you go first."
"You come on, I've already passed the fourth Qi and Blood Gate."
"..."
Yu Kaidong thought he was hearing things and asked again:
"What's your Qi and Blood value?"
"Over 8 points."
"Damn! Are you really a freshman?"
Meng Yiyi, who was nearby, also found it a bit surreal after hearing this.
Before she went to college, Meng Chuan was practicing National Yi Fist at home every day, not even breaking a single gate after years of training.
How is it that in just over six months, he's already broken through four Qi and Blood Gates and is so formidable?
"Little brother, is it true?"
Meng Chuan nodded in response.
Seeing that Meng Chuan wasn't joking, Yu Kaidong put away his contempt, seriously cupped his hands and bowed:
"Xingyi Sect Water Element Fist Drilling Wave Hand, please guide me, Xiaomeng."
The words for instruction were already spoken, he could only brace himself and proceed.
"Cannon Fist, come on, Kaidong bro."
Yu Kaidong didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, being beaten up by her freshman brother, what a joke!
So he thought to himself:
"Cannon Fist belongs to the fire element, I just happen to counter it, there's still a chance to win."
Thus, he took the initiative to attack, approaching Meng Chuan within three feet like a water snake swimming through lush water grass, then drilled his hand to stab at Meng Chuan's chest.
He still had scruples and didn't dare to go all out, worried that Meng Chuan was just acting tough because he was young.
Meng Chuan merely raised his arm lightly and deflected the main attacking hand to the side.
Yu Kaidong felt a huge force coming from the fingertips, and his face showed a serious expression.
"Damn it, this kid wasn't lying!"
With no time to think, Yu Kaidong hurriedly continued to make moves, his left hand clawing at Meng Chuan's abdomen with force, a sharp whooshing sound echoing in the air.
Drilling Wave Hand—River-Splitting Claw!
Meng Chuan stepped back slightly on his left foot to dodge, then raised his hand and punched straight at the opponent's chest.
Ordinary attack!
Bang!
Yu Kaidong kept backing up, stomping the ground for stabilizing support under a big tree, his heart racing uncontrollably.
A clear red fist mark was imprinted between two solid chest muscles.
"This strength, absolutely above 8 points for an intermediate martial artist!"
Because he had just broken four, Meng Chuan had some difficulty controlling his strength:
"Are you all right? I just broke through, having trouble controlling the force. How about you attack, and I dodge?"
"Okay!"
Yu Kaidong also got worked up, damn it, he couldn't just miss every time, right?
He fully exerted his perfected River Walking Step, like a water snake entwining, constantly attacking Meng Chuan.
The Water Element Fist is renowned for its agile control, Meng Chuan dodged nonstop in place like walking a tightrope.
With high-intensity continuous dodging, the proficiency of [Inch Step] increased in intervals.
Yu Kaidong's stamina was quite good, maintaining attacks for several hundred moves before he was exhausted and plopped down on the ground.
"I give up, I give up!"
Yu Kaidong was red-faced and panting heavily, this kid's body control was even more monstrous, he didn't even land a single hit.
Dodged several hundred moves without counterattacking, amidst thousands of flowers, not touching a single leaf.
Meng Chuan was clear that half of it was because his Qi and Blood strength overwhelmed the opponent, making Yu Kaidong's actions seem 0.8x slow-mo in his eyes.
The other half was thanks to the strong body control granted by Once Proven, Forever Proven, ensuring no mistakes before reaching exhaustion.
Meng Chuan took a moment to glance at the panel.
[Inch Step: Perfected (12%) → (16%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Light Body (Basic)]
Meng Yiyi, beside him, was already dumbfounded, Meng Chuan's moves in ancient times could definitely be called a Qinggong master.
"Little brother, you're too amazing!"
"I won't be a fan of Chaos River White Dragon anymore; when you become famous someday, I'll start a support group for you!"
Hearing Meng Yiyi's ambitious words, Meng Chuan responded with a smile:
"Sure, sis, you can be my fan club president in the future."
He didn't refuse because fame and fortune can actually benefit Martial Arts rather than harm.
The master said that after becoming part of the Martial Arts family, resources needed are easily in the hundreds of thousands or even millions.
For instance, the Qi and Blood deficit caused by breaking through today, just to replenish Qi and Blood alone, he spent thirty to forty thousand on medicinal paste.
He will need to cultivate the true skill of the Thunder Method, building his physical base by training external body refinement skill.
When practicing external kung fu, a considerable amount of body-refining paste is needed to assist recovery.
Even with the million-dollar prize from the improved National Yi Fist later, it's still not enough.
Even though he has a Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel, Martial Arts resources don't appear out of thin air, and they must be contested for aggressively!
Today's society isn't like the ancient times where robbing and distributing wealth existed.
Martial artists cannot recklessly attack others or ordinary people without justification, or they'll be labeled as demon path martial artists.
They would be hunted by the police, and upon capture would face imprisonment in martial artist prison, or even death.
Therefore, there are primarily two legitimate paths to obtain abundant Martial Arts resources in modern society.
One is to dive into demon nests to slay celestial demons, decomposing useful demonic materials from them to exchange for money or resources.
The other is a relatively stable path, participate in various Martial Arts competitions, win generous awards, and create a fan economy, which suits martial arts prodigies who are invincible at the same realm.
Meng Chuan believes once he gets some practical traits, whichever path he takes, all roads lead to Rome!
Meng Yiyi went to take care of her boyfriend.
Seeing Yu Kaidong sitting on the ground looking like a dead fish, maybe Meng Chuan broke down his defenses.
Fearing Yu Kaidong's Dao heart might be shattered, she went over and comforted him thoroughly.
Yu Kaidong waved his hand indicating he was fine; he was just a bit fatigued.
After resting for a while, Yu Kaidong spoke:
"Xiaomeng, are you really a freshman this year?"
Meng Chuan was standing nearby spanning space, seeing Yu Kaidong recovered, replied:
"Yes, I'm indeed a freshman."
Yu Kaidong was hit hard and didn't know what to say, after a while he asked again:
"Which school are you studying at now? Have you already started the preparatory course or are you at Martial Arts School?"
"Neither, I'm at Ping'an Middle School."
Yu Kaidong:
"..."
