Seeing that Meng Chuan was feeling a bit agitated, Bai Junfeng smiled and told him to calm his mind:

"Little Meng, you don't need to be too nervous. It's best to come for the test in the morning.

At that time, your physical functions are at their peak for the day, so the test results will be the most accurate."

"I have other matters to attend to back out of town, so I won't be able to receive you myself.

Just go to the Martial Arts Association and find the front desk to contact the Martial Arts Testing Room.

I will give them a heads-up in advance. You'll only need to go a few times; it won't take up too much of your time."

Bai Junfeng paused for a moment before continuing:

"You are still in school, so make sure to talk to your school about taking leave in advance. This kind of thing is beneficial for your school, so they won't refuse."

"Alright, Uncle Bai, I will definitely go on time."

Meng Chuan indicated that he understood. He planned to go find the principal to discuss this matter when he went to school tomorrow.

With the official business handled, Bai Junfeng and Luo Guanyun, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sat down to chat, while Meng Chuan stood to the side pouring tea and water.

After sipping tea for a while, Bai Junfeng looked at Meng Chuan, his face full of admiration:

"Old Luo, this student of yours is a good seedling. At such a young age, his understanding of fist techniques is so profound. You must teach him well."

"I certainly will."

Luo Guanyun smiled and nodded, waving his hand to signal that he wouldn't say more, while simultaneously gesturing for Meng Chuan to head out first.

This old guy Bai Junfeng practices the Eagle Form, and his eyes are incredibly sharp.

If I let Meng Chuan stay any longer, and he happens to discover that the boy has awakened a Trait like the Little Dragon Type and tries to poach him, I'll be the one suffering a huge loss.

Walking out of the training room, Meng Chuan felt refreshed and invigorated, and he immediately shared the good news with his uncle.

His heart was filled with high spirits, and he couldn't help but announce the happy news:

"Uncle, my Guoyi Fist has been listed as a candidate for discussion!"

Meng Yongzhi didn't quite understand:

"What does that mean?"

"It means that once the discussion passes, when the whole country learns the Guoyi Fist, they will be learning the brand-new version that I modified!"

He hadn't expected Meng Chuan to become a grandmaster just by practicing the Guoyi Fist. The news was shocking enough that it took Meng Yongzhi a good while to find his voice:

"Good, good child! I knew you could do it. Keep working hard!"

"If you need anything for your martial arts training, tell me immediately. Your uncle will definitely support you with everything I have!"

Meng Yongzhi didn't know how else to respond, so he could only speak from the bottom of his heart.

After Bai Junfeng left, Meng Chuan was called back in by Luo Guanyun.

"Little one, come sit."

"After that night, have you felt any changes in your body?"

"Especially when practicing martial arts, has there been any change?"

Hearing Luo Guanyun's inquiry, Meng Chuan pondered for a moment before answering truthfully. He wanted to show off his progress:

"When I practice martial arts, it feels like I've had a breakthrough. Not only is my fist technique becoming smoother, but my stance training is also lasting longer."

"Also, for the Pao Fist, I think I've moved past the beginner stage; I should be proficient by now."

Luo Guanyun's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he felt secretly delighted:

"Come, show me."

Luo Guanyun remembered that it hadn't been long since he taught him the Pao Fist. To jump from beginner to proficient in just a few days—

If it were true, he must have been stimulated and awakened an acquired ability.

Meng Chuan stood up and stepped forward, instantly entering his state.

He began to practice the Pao Fist with full concentration. With the blessing of One Proof Eternal Proof, he had not forgotten a single movement he had learned, and he finally finished with a smooth, three-clap strike.

Meng Chuan's Pao Fist was as fluid as flowing water, completely unlike what a beginner could master, and it even featured the hallmark of reaching the proficient level—the three-clap strike.

Based on all this, Luo Guanyun was certain that Meng Chuan must have awakened a Trait!

"Good, good, good! That was solid!"

"Come, Little Meng, sit down and let's talk."

Meng Chuan sat down beside him.

"You should have discovered it too. After experiencing what happened that night, your talent has improved significantly."

"It's not just that the Guoyi Fist has broken through its limits; it's very likely that you have also awakened an acquired Trait."

Luo Guanyun showed a hint of embarrassment before continuing:

"I admit that I might be a bit snobbish, but there's no helping it. Learning martial arts is just like this—without talent, everything else is just empty talk."

"Besides, the Thunder Method True Art I intend to teach in the future is the most difficult to master, and I've already explained the stakes to you, haven't I?"

Meng Chuan knew the opportunity had arrived; he understood exactly what Luo Guanyun meant by saying these things.

He didn't blame the other party for looking down on him before; now that he had awakened, it was only natural for him to come forward and offer to take him as a disciple.

According to what Master Luo had said previously, forcing oneself to practice the Thunder Method without talent was just asking for death, so he fully understood the shift in the man's attitude.

After all, who could have known that he possessed the [Martial Dao Limit-Breaking Panel] and had attained One Proof Eternal Proof?

He felt that apart from having great strength, Luo Guanyun was also straightforward and sincere in character.

Aside from having a somewhat explosive temper, he could find almost no faults in him, and besides, the man had saved his life.

Seeing this, Luo Guanyun spoke directly:

"Meng Chuan, are you willing to become my only personal disciple for now and follow me to practice the Thunder Method True Art in the future?"

Meng Chuan did not hesitate, responding in a clear, loud voice:

"Disciple Meng Chuan, greets Teacher!"

"Hahaha, good, get up, get up. We don't do the kowtowing thing anymore."

Luo Guanyun was overjoyed; he had finally found a student suitable for practicing the Thunder Method, and the Luo Family True Technique would finally have a successor.

"I must clarify first: by becoming my disciple, no matter which university you attend in the future, you must practice the Thunder Method True Art to break through and become a Martial Artist."

"The Thunder Method is treacherous; you must not regret this."

Meng Chuan nodded to show he understood:

"This disciple is willing to practice the Thunder Method."

He believed that with the panel and One Proof Eternal Proof, as long as he persisted, he would surely be able to master the Thunder Method True Art in the future.

He then kept thanking Luo Guanyun by his side; after all, how many people had been eyeing the position of the master's disciple, only for him to snatch the prize?

"Chuan'er, today's apprenticeship came about quite hastily. After you go home today, you need to discuss it with your family and give me a definite answer. You don't need to hide anything; you can tell them that practicing the Thunder Method carries risks."

Luo Guanyun believed this matter was already set in stone, but since Meng Chuan was still a minor, it was best to notify his guardians first.

"No problem, Teacher Luo. My uncle will definitely be eager for me to become your disciple."

Luo Guanyun patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, that's good. Call me after you've talked it over when you get back!"

Meng Chuan said solemnly:

"Teacher Luo, you are willing to take me as your disciple; such a great kindness, Meng Chuan will never forget."

"I already told you, we don't do that stuff anymore. Just train hard, and keeping up that drive is the best way to repay me."

"Enough talk for now, hurry back and ask for your family's opinion to finalize it. I need to prepare to meet your uncle and aunt to discuss your future development plan."
