There is a reason for the volatile temper of Luo Guanyun. As a Fourth Limit Grandmaster Realm expert, his body is nourished and regulated by true qi, granting him a lifespan at least two to three times that of an ordinary person.

However, because his cultivation has been stuck at the Third Limit for over a decade, the Mysterious Yin Moon-Reflecting True Art he practices has been unable to break through, and the Thunder Seed planted within his body is on the verge of erupting.

The Fourth Limit Grandmaster Realm is a major threshold for a Martial Artist, and it is extremely difficult to break through.

Luo Guanyun had no choice but to seek another path, practicing the Five Elements Water Attribute Mysterious Yin Moon-Reflecting True Art in an attempt to neutralize the Thunder Seed within him.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal; it could only barely delay the eruption of the Thunder Seed and could not cure it at the root.

At the same time, the true qi forces of two opposing attributes were balancing and clashing within his body, affecting both his spleen and stomach, which led to an imbalance of liver fire and a temper that was often irritable and explosive.

Am I truly wrong? But my daughter's talent is destined to take the Thunder Method to its deepest level.

I have raised her for over ten years. As a child of the Luo family, inheriting the Thunder Method True Art is her duty and responsibility. She refuses to learn it; I am not wrong, she is the one who is wrong!

I must find someone with talent that matches hers to practice the Thunder Method and prove all of this.

"Sister Ru, what does that banner above the entrance of our martial arts hall mean?"

Meng Chuan and Liu Ru were sitting opposite each other in the cafeteria, drinking Tendon and Bone Liquid while eating the nutritious breakfast provided by the martial arts hall.

"It's nothing, Master Luo just wants to expand enrollment."

Liu Ru felt exhausted and did not want to explain too much.

When Meng Chuan arrived early this morning, he had seen the new banner hung above the martial arts hall.

[Gathering the World's Talents, If You Have Talent, Come Join Us!]

"Chuan'er, that was a great fight!"

"Do it again! It was so satisfying to watch!"

On the training ground, a crowd was gathered to watch Meng Chuan perform the Guoyi Fist. After his sparring match with Wang Yue yesterday, Meng Chuan had become the star of the martial arts hall.

Meng Chuan felt quite depressed. With a crowd surrounding him, how was he supposed to gain insights into the Guoyi Fist? He should have come at noon instead.

"Good kid, I feel like you're threatening my status. Let's duel!"

Le Ping chimed in from the side to join the fun.

"Have some shame. He hasn't even reached the first barrier yet, and you want to cross three realms to fight him?"

"I'll fight you. Let's go, to the ring right now."

Wang Dong grabbed Le Ping and headed toward the ring.

The person speaking was the big brother of the martial arts hall, the one with the longest tenure and the oldest age, though it was a pity that even in his thirties, he was still stuck at the Fourth Dao Blood Qi Barrier.

This fully proved one point: what the path of martial arts lacks most is not persistence, but talent.

"Brother Wang, don't do this, I was wrong!" Seeing the big brother standing up for Meng Chuan, Le Ping begged for mercy repeatedly.

The crowd was drawn away to that side, leaving Meng Chuan to enjoy the peace and quiet as he began to carefully contemplate the Guoyi Fist.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the scheduled time for his appointment with the Master, Meng Chuan still hadn't managed to break through that final 1%.

Combined with the stance training, his Guoyi Fist was indeed more fluid, but no new understanding had emerged. Was he thinking about it the wrong way? Perhaps stance training couldn't bring about a breakthrough for the Guoyi Fist.

"It doesn't matter if you want to beat me up, come on."

Meng Chuan decided to ask the Master clearly later about how to reach the [Master] realm he spoke of; even if he got beaten up again, it wouldn't matter.

When the time came, Meng Chuan stood at the entrance of the training room waiting instead of going in, because he could hear the bursts of screams coming from the room while standing at the door.

The Master was running over time today; even though the hour had arrived, he was still brutally beating the previous student.

"The extra five minutes count toward your lesson time, get out!"

The student scrambled out, and as he passed by Meng Chuan, he gave him a look of pity.

Meng Chuan stepped aside to enter, and Luo Guanyun was busy straightening the jacket that had been wrinkled during the fight just now.

"It's you. Come in. I remember the stance training I taught last weekend—have you mastered the basics?"

As a martial arts master, Luo Guanyun had an excellent memory.

"I have."

Having said that, Meng Chuan assumed a horse stance, channeled his qi from the top of his head down to the soles of his feet, and then took a deep breath, exhaling a visible stream of white air.

"Hmm, not bad. Exhaling like an arrow—you've mastered the basics."

"Pay attention to the frequency of your stance training every day. If you have the means, you can drink some medicinal meals to supplement yourself."

When Meng Chuan replied that he was drinking the Tendon and Bone Liquid from Mingde Pharmaceutical, Luo Guanyun jumped over and gave him a flick on the forehead.

"Who told you to drink supplements? Medicinal meals, I said medicinal meals!"

"Medicinal meals are purely natural, made from decoctions of potent medicinal herbs. Those who consume them won't have impurities left in their bodies like they would with supplements."

"Your foundation is average. If you want to go further in practicing Xingyi, don't let your body accumulate too many impurities. This will make it difficult to break through realms in the future. Remember what I said today, do you understand?"

"I understand, Teacher." The other party was a martial arts master, so he had to listen to what he said.

Meng Chuan was obedient this time, and Luo Guanyun was very satisfied:

"It is good that you understand. There are too many people nowadays who are eager for quick success, all wanting to practice top-tier fist techniques and consume massive amounts of supplements. People like you who can steadily build a foundation are rare to see."

Meng Chuan knew clearly in his heart that if it weren't for the panel, he would also have switched to practicing those fist techniques with greater power and more abundant blood energy.

"By the way, how many days did it take you to reach the entry level?"

"About two and a half days. I learned it last Saturday and reached the entry level on Monday."

"Hmm..."

"Sigh, it's still lacking, and his natural aptitude isn't great either."

Although this kid had astonishing perseverance and a personality that suited his own, he feared that if he let him learn the Thunder Method, even reaching the entry level would be difficult.

"No matter, I will teach you fist techniques today."

"The full name of the fist technique I am teaching you is the Xingyi Sect Five Elements Fire Attribute Eight Gates Pao Fist, or Pao Fist for short."

"Pao Fist is the fist technique with the most imposing momentum and the most violent force among third-tier martial arts; some second-tier fist techniques do not even match it in power. The specific practice progress is divided into three paths, six paths, and nine paths. Completing the nine paths of Pao Fist proves that it has reached perfection, just like this."

As he spoke, Luo Guanyun stood up to demonstrate. His legs were slightly arched, his arms braced forward and backward, and then his right hand blasted forward violently, like a sudden thunderclap on flat ground, with a loud "boom" exploding out.

"Goodness, is Junior Brother Meng Chuan going to be smashed to pieces by Brother Luo's punch?"

After being disciplined by Wang Dong, Le Ping ran over and eavesdropped from behind the door.

Instructor Liu Ru also leaned in. She felt somewhat restless and worried that Luo Guanyun would be so delighted by the talent he saw that he would take Meng Chuan on as a personal disciple.

Luo Guanyun sensed someone eavesdropping at the door:

"Those outside, do you want to come in and learn together?"

Le Ping and Liu Ru scrambled to their feet and left in a panic, not daring to stay a moment longer.

After breaking down the Pao Fist, Luo Guanyun demonstrated it a few more times, and Meng Chuan memorized it.

"Perform it once for me to see."

Meng Chuan tried to start practicing based on his memory. Thanks to his solid foundation in Guoyi Fist, he picked it up very quickly, though he was still a distance away from the entry level, and the Pao Fist had not yet been recorded in his panel.

"Hmm, it's starting to look like something. Go back and practice more."

Luo Guanyun looked down at the time; only forty minutes had passed. His foundation was indeed good; other students usually took three or four class sessions to learn Pao Fist, yet this kid could perform it decently before even one session was over.

"Teacher Luo, I am still not reconciled. I truly want to break through Guoyi Fist to the master realm. How exactly can I achieve that?"
