Meng Yongzhi nodded:
"I know, Chief Long has already told me. You keep the bonus for yourself and allocate it to wherever it's useful for martial arts practice."
"It was really too dangerous this time. Don't be so reckless next time."
After assuring that he won't do it again, Meng Chuan said this incident was an accident. After demonstrating some fist skills to his uncle, Meng Yongzhi returned to the living room satisfied.
"Yongzhi, I just heard the child earned 300,000?"
Xue Na leaned in to ask.
Meng Yongzhi put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned, and said displeasedly:
"This is the money the child risked his life for, so don't set your sights on it."
Hearing her husband's words, Xue Na hurriedly defended herself:
"I just asked, I didn't say anything else, and here you are taking it seriously with me."
"As long as he continues to practice martial arts, the child will become more and more accomplished in the future. What's 300,000? When Chuan becomes a martial arts family member, earning 3 million will be a piece of cake."
At this time, Xue Na did not refute. She saw posters of the perfect conclusion of the Yong'an City Eaglet Cup competition pasted everywhere when she went grocery shopping this morning.
Even for a group of kids under 14 competing, the highest prize was 100,000.
"Husband, do you think Chuan can participate in competitions?"
Great Chu governs the country through martial arts, which is why martial arts flourish among the people, leading the populace to have little interest in movie and music stars, and the country does not promote them either.
At the same time, instead of watching movies or TV shows, folks prefer watching martial arts competition broadcasts during their leisure time.
In everyone's eyes, no program is more captivating than a thrilling martial arts duel.
Some popular martial arts superstars have their match tickets speculated to many times the original price.
Hearing his wife, Meng Yongzhi said firmly:
"No problem, I believe Meng Chuan will make a name for himself in the arena in the future!"
...
In the bedroom, Meng Chuan's pile standing posture resembled the character "人", with his upper body standing upright like a proud bamboo, while his lower half had slightly bent legs, rooted firmly to the ground like an old tree.
His posture almost perfectly mirrored the illustration of the Three Talents Posture, making it a textbook example of practice.
Ensuring proper alignment and maintaining mental focus during pile standing is extremely difficult, with the constant soreness challenging the practitioner's willpower and perseverance every moment.
"This [Three Talents Posture] seems simple, just standing still, but one needs to control their posture without deforming on one hand and manage their breathing rhythm on the other; it is indeed not easy."
After gaining the trait of a single certificate eternal certificate, Meng Chuan always pinpointed issues precisely during martial arts practice.
After completing a few cycles, Meng Chuan sensed he still had strength left and persisted.
After a grueling hour and a half, his entire body felt like it was being steamed in a sauna, dripping with sweat from his forehead to his thighs. Feeling he had reached his limit, he collapsed on the bed.
"Phew, an hour and a half, that's much more progress than before."
Meng Chuan speculated that it might be because it was his first time doing pile standing since getting a single certificate eternal certificate, which made the improvement particularly noticeable by directly adding half an hour to his duration.
If piling standing extends by half an hour each time in the future, several years later, he might be able to fall into hibernation directly on the ground.
Let's see the results, too. The increase in comprehension brought by the single certificate eternal certificate is also effective for pile skills. Otherwise, Meng Chuan wouldn't have gained so many new insights just now during the pile standing.
[Taiyi Three Talents Posture: Human Posture (2%) → Human Posture (3%)]
"So simple, improved by 1%, today's pile standing result is equivalent to almost a week's accumulation before, this single certificate eternal certificate is truly powerful!"
Finally, Meng Chuan could clearly sense the gap between a genius and an ordinary person.
According to Hall Master Luo's previous statement, the difficulty of pile skill practice increases in a stepwise manner, and as proficiency improves, the difficulty of further enhancement is a hundred times more compared to the initial stages?
If he followed his earlier talent, he would probably never break through to the [Earth Posture] even with his dying breaths.
Some might have pile skills characteristics or above-average bone structures, possibly enhancing pile skills faster than him.
But with the Martial Arts Limit Breaking Panel, with all the various traits stacking together in the future, any genius would have to bow down to him.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, and within just a few days, Meng Chuan's panel had transformed dramatically.
[Martial Arts Limit Breaking Panel]
[Martial Arts]
[National Obligation Basic Boxing: Limit Breaking (Single Certificate Eternal Certificate) (Super)]
[Cannon Fist: Beginner (82%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Heavy Strike (Basic)]
[Pile Skill]
[Taiyi Three Talents Posture: Human Posture (6%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Morning-Evening Dao Comprehension (Basic)]
[Cannon Fist] was a new fist skill taught by Hall Master Luo previously. Within a few days, it advanced from not started to nearly breaking through to the proficient level.
All of this thanks to the [Single Certificate Eternal Certificate], which turned every practiced sequence of fist skill into an indelible memory that solidified within the body.
This allowed Meng Chuan to gain new insights with each subsequent fist practice based on the previous one's foundation.
But all of this also couldn't do without Meng Chuan's effort. Just like before, he practiced fist skills at four in the morning before going to school, came back to practice the Human Posture, bathed, and slept after he was exhausted, and then repeated the cycle the next day.
"I estimate my Qi Blood isn't just at the first limit now, it seems to be nearing the second Qi and Blood Gate breakthrough. Today at the martial arts hall, I can have a proper test."
This week, Meng Chuan's strength had been growing almost daily, a feeling like riding a rocket he had never experienced before.
However, in school, Meng Chuan didn't broadcast how much his strength had increased, and neither his classmates nor teachers noticed his changes.
The previous incident regarding the National Obligation Boxing had already made him widely known in school, which wasn't his original intention.
He wasn't someone who liked to flaunt, preferring to stay low-key usually.
Moreover, half the students in class were still studying literature. If he didn't make a fuss, nobody would bother to notice his changes. The principal and the class teacher, both busy, still deemed him a stubborn character who tirelessly practiced National Obligation Boxing.
Furthermore, those with martial arts talent were mostly recruited by various martial arts high schools, making attendance at comprehensive high schools unnecessary.
Ping'an High School would wait until the second year of high school to division by subjects, when professional martial arts teachers would conduct classes, and during the first year, students mainly practiced on their own.
Early this morning, his good friend Wang Yue eagerly called to arrange a meeting at the martial arts hall. Hearing the excitement in his voice, Meng Chuan was unaware of what Wang Yue had in mind.
But these are surely good things. He also hopes that Wang Yue practices martial arts more actively.
After changing in the locker room, without even having breakfast, Wang Yue dragged him directly to the training ground.
