Embodying Myriad Traits, I Will Eventually Become Immortal — 25

The livestream instantly exploded, and the viewer count doubled in a heartbeat.

"Is this for real? This is way too entertaining."

"What's wrong, Yueyue? What happened?"

"I called the police for you, Yueyue. They'll be here soon."

Those with sharp eyes had already spotted something:

"Damn, that robber's a martial artist. He's so fast!"

Meng Chuan was carrying several large and small shopping bags as he headed out. Since he had bought all the gifts, there was no need to linger. He needed to get back and practice martial arts.

Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded behind him. Meng Chuan turned and saw a burly man gripping what was clearly a woman's crossbody bag as he sprinted straight toward him.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

The burly man came charging in fiercely, his words just as rude.

"Huh, what this kid's carrying..."

The burly man had sharp eyes. The items in Meng Chuan's hands were all famous luxury brands, immediately catching his attention.

Meng Chuan was in a hurry to get home and practice his fistwork, and he had not wanted to bother with him. But the man suddenly stopped in front of him and held out a hand.

"Hand over your stuff, then get lost!"

Meng Chuan looked at him, then slowly set the things in his hands on the ground.

Seeing this, the burly man stepped forward to take them.

"Did I say I was giving them to you?"

Meng Chuan slowly walked over and stood in front of his belongings, blocking the man. He gently rolled his neck, producing a series of crackling sounds.

"You little bastard, you think you can turn the world upside down?"

The crowd gradually gathered around them. Worried that more and more people would come, the burly man prepared to knock Meng Chuan down, grab the goods, and run.

He charged forward and threw a heavy punch straight at Meng Chuan's face.

That punch immediately exposed the burly man's strength. In Meng Chuan's eyes, the man's movements were riddled with openings.

Meng Chuan twisted his waist and dodged the punch. His left hand shot out, clamping down on the man's extended elbow. Then he sank his waist and exerted force, using the momentum to flip the burly man over his shoulder and onto the ground.

The fall left the man somewhat dazed, but he was no fool.

That single shoulder throw showed him the difference between heaven and earth. He knew this kid was not someone he could afford to provoke. After getting up, he rushed into the crowd, trying to escape.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Meng Chuan exploded forward in an instant. With his fist's eye facing upward, he unleashed six blasts from a single Cannon Fist and drove it into the man's waist hollow.

A searing pain erupted from the burly man's waist hollow. Then his vision went black beyond his control, and he collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

It was no empty claim that Inch Step was Cannon Fist's best partner.

That punch made Meng Chuan realize that Inch Step was more than just a movement technique. It was more like a catalyst for Cannon Fist.

The powerful explosive force Inch Step brought forth further pushed Cannon Fist's might to greater heights.

As the ancients said: the longer one gathered momentum, the fiercer the force of the fist.

While Inch Step increased movement speed, more importantly, it accelerated the process of gathering momentum.

Meng Chuan called his uncle. After the call connected, he briefly explained what had happened. Before long, nearby patrol officers arrived.

Meng Chuan did not know exactly how many Blood Qi Thresholds the lead patrol officer had crossed, but he could vaguely sense that the man was a little stronger than him, though not by much.

On the way over, Meng Yongzhi had already explained the situation to them. The man walked over to the unconscious burly man and examined him.

"Meng Yongzhi is my colleague. Kid, your skills are pretty good. You're impressive."

"Uncle, sorry to trouble you all."

"Get home now. You don't need to worry about things here."

Considering his colleague, and the fact that Meng Chuan was still a child, the lead patrol officer waved him off and told him to leave first. There was no need for a statement or anything like that.

Meng Chuan gathered up the things he had just bought and prepared to leave with them.

At that moment, the female streamer also rushed over. Seeing that her bag was completely intact, she thanked Meng Chuan.

"Thanks, handsome."

"Everyone, this is the handsome guy who got my bag back for me."

The streamer pointed her phone at Meng Chuan and introduced him to the livestream.

Both of Meng Chuan's hands were full, so he could not cover his face. He could only hurriedly turn his back, but he was still caught on camera for an instant.

"This handsome guy's pretty shy. I didn't expect him to beat that big guy. The contrast is adorable. I'm in love."

"Streamer, ask for his WeChat for me. I'm from Chengdu, Sichuan Province. My plane ticket's already booked."

Meng Chuan ignored them. After thanking the officer again, he burst forth with Inch Step and vanished in a flash.

That evening.

"Chuan'er, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

The moment Meng Chuan returned, Meng Yongzhi hurried over to check on him.

Although his colleagues had already told him the child was completely fine, he was still worried.

As Meng Chuan handed their gifts over, he said, "I'm completely fine. He's the one who got hurt."

"That's good. But you have to watch your safety next time. Don't jump into trouble. If you see something like this again, stay as far away as you can."

Meng Yongzhi was worried that Meng Chuan would step forward again in a situation like this and get himself hurt.

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Aunt and Uncle accepted Meng Chuan's gifts. Meng Yongzhi lifted the outdoor jacket and looked it over again and again. His mouth kept saying Meng Chuan had wasted money again, but the uncontrollable smile at the corners of his eyes revealed what he truly felt.

When Auntie Xue Na received LX's latest handbag, she was so happy she could barely close her mouth, repeatedly praising Chuan'er for having grown up and become so sensible.

Though she could have bought it herself if she gritted her teeth, a gift from the child simply felt different.

Xue Na could not wait to share her joy with someone.

"I'm going to call Juan'er and Yiyi to show off a little. Yongzhi, keep an eye on the kitchen for me first. There are ribs stewing in the pot. Remember to turn off the heat once the sauce has reduced."

After dinner, the Hua Yun Estates butler called. The private neighborhood car Luo Guanyun had arranged was already waiting outside their family housing compound.

Meng Chuan took the gift he had prepared for Teacher Luo and was about to change his shoes and leave.

Suddenly, Xue Na walked over with her phone raised and asked, "Chuan'er, look. Is the person in this video you?"

Meng Chuan did not watch short-video apps because they would interfere with his fist practice, so he asked, "What video?"

"A Douyin short video. It's already trending."

Meng Chuan took Xue Na's phone and had a look.

In the video, Meng Chuan first knocked the robber to the ground. When the robber tried to escape afterward, Meng Chuan knocked him unconscious with another punch. Apparently, some onlookers had recorded the whole thing and uploaded it to a short-video platform.

When he opened the comments, everyone was applauding and cheering.

"This young man is really strong. He knocked that robber out with one punch."

"So accomplished at such a young age. He's prime material for a Martial Artist."

"This country needs young people with such a sense of justice. Well done!"

Meng Chuan noticed that the most-liked comment had been posted by someone named Liu Yue. Curious, he tapped into it and found that it was the female streamer who had been robbed that afternoon.

She had also posted a video explaining the unexpected incident from that afternoon, and at the end of it, she thanked him as well.

Meng Chuan handed the phone back to Auntie.

Taking the phone, Xue Na said excitedly, "Chuan'er, you're already this amazing? That robber was so tall and strong, yet you knocked him down with one punch."

Meng Chuan smiled and explained, "Auntie, build alone doesn't mean anything. That robber had only just entered the First Blood Qi Threshold at most. My strength surpasses his by far, so of course he wasn't a match for me."

After hearing this, Xue Na praised him again and again for having such promise. Meng Chuan was nearly unable to fend her off. Seeing that time was running short, he hurriedly changed his shoes and said goodbye.

After Meng Chuan went downstairs, Xue Na first posted on WeChat Moments to show off the new handbag her nephew had bought her.

Then she posted a second WeChat Moments update, telling her relatives and friends that Meng Chuan had acted bravely for a righteous cause and had even made the trending list.

In an instant, her WeChat Moments comment section was filled with praise. Xue Na felt immensely proud.
