Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Internal War of Eight Extremes

The competitor from the Golden Lion Martial Arts Dojo isn't weak, having just reached the Four Gates of Qi and Blood, but hasn't yet comprehended Dark Strength.

Meng Chuan tangled with the opponent for a dozen moves before using a strike called "Skyward Cannon" to knock him off the stage.

Fang Yuyang wasn't hurt, and after getting up, he clasped his fist to Meng Chuan in salute.

"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy."

In the martial arts journey, the able are ahead, and calling the younger Meng Chuan "senior" is no shame.

At this moment, the top four in the underage group had been decided.

As the competition progressed, the atmosphere on the scene became more intense.

Meng Chuan drew Chen Xuewu from the Peak Martial Arts Dojo.

He jumped onto the stage, clasped his hands, and smiled:

"Meng Chuan, trained in Qianyuan Thunder Strike, Luo's Baji."

Chen Xuewu also clasped his hands in response:

"Chen Xuewu, trained in Extreme Fist, Baji Fist."

This was a peak showdown between Xingyi and Baji, with the audience holding their breath and watching the match attentively.

On the judging panel, Luo Guanyun had his feet propped on the table, hands behind his head, and turned to Liu Sanduo with a grin:

"Old Liu, I've told Meng Chuan before, let Chen's kid lose gracefully, don't worry hahaha."

Liu Sanduo didn't want to engage with him and snorted lightly:

"The universe is not yet decided, Brother Luo, don't speak too confidently!"

On stage, Chen Xuewu suggested:

"How about we battle using Baji Fist?"

Meng Chuan was naturally agreeable.

"Sure, please go ahead."

Chen Xuewu practiced a second-tier Body Technique called Cloud-Piercing Step, lightly tapping the floor a few times, then floated to Meng Chuan's side.

Cloud-Piercing Step excels in pursuing and sticking close, making it an ideal Body Technique paired with Baji Fist.

Upon closing in, he launched a punch with his right hand, quickly folded his left arm into an elbow, and drove it into Meng Chuan's chest.

Meng Chuan responded with unchanging adaptability, using Baji's "Lifting" strength to deflect the right punch, pressed down on Chen's elbow, and gracefully moved in.

"Even if it's close combat, my Luo's Baji is not inferior to yours!"

Baji Fist emphasizes "close-range combat" as a core concept, advocating getting close to the opponent for frequent attacks, a tactic known as "hitting like kissing," the closer, the better.

The two squeezed together, with every part of the body able to be used as a weapon, colliding hands and feet then using shoulders, when shoulders couldn't hold, using the head!

This is Baji martial arts, seeking stronger damage effects, anywhere on the body can hurt the enemy!

As they approached each other, both were shaken back several steps.

Chen Xuewu laughed heartily:

"Refreshing!"

Meng Chuan fought just as joyfully, clasping his hands:

"Come on, Brother Chen, continue!"

The two battled again, clinging and rolling together, fierce and passionate.

On the audience side, everyone held their breath, afraid to miss the moment leading to victory.

Luo Guanyun remained utterly composed on the judging panel.

"Meng has used only one-third of my Luo's Baji's power, not showing Long Fist's mix of hardness and softness, winning steadily."

Meng Chuan smiled:

"Be careful, Brother Chen, let me show you the essence of my Luo's Baji!"

Then Meng Chuan stopped tangling punches and jumped back, smoothly delivering a downward Drilling Fist like a meteor to the ground.

Chen Xuewu just caught the Drilling Fist when Meng Chuan twisted his hand, moving like a fish, bypassed his hand, drilling into his chest, "Pop!" softly fist turned hard, directly poking Chen Xuewu's chest!

Unstable from the punch, Chen Xuewu shook and retreated continuously.

Luo Guanyun stood up and shouted:

"Good!"

With admiration continually in his heart.

"First, opening the distance with Long Fist to confuse, then the fist changes from soft to hard, cleverly defeating the opponent, this is the essence of my Luo's Baji, easy to understand!"

The following time was Meng Chuan's solo performance.

The agile, varied fist strength enveloped Chen Xuewu like a storm.

The continuously changing fist strength made it difficult for him to resist, retreating increasingly.

Ultimately, Meng Chuan transformed a straight soft fist into a powerful elbow strike, fiercely knocking Chen Xuewu to the ground.

Chen Xuewu raised his hand to concede.

"Good skills, Brother Meng, Luo's Baji is formidable!"

Meng Chuan thought he was a good person, smiled and helped him up.

"You've let me win, Brother Chen, your Baji Fist was well executed too."

"Shame, shame."

In the final, Meng Chuan squared off against Li Bing in Tiger Form Boxing.

Having fought Zong Ping before, Meng Chuan was familiar with Tiger Form Boxing's moves and techniques.

Li Bing, relatively older than Zong Ping, had more seasoned Tiger Form Boxing, each move striking with considerable force.

Meng Chuan fought fiercely for tens of moves, followed by using a Heavy Cannon Fist to ferociously crash against Tiger Palm, blasting him off the stage.

Standing in the center of the stage, surveying the surroundings, he was the sole protagonist among the over three thousand people!

Feeling the mountain-like cheers and shouts, Meng Chuan closed his eyes and silently took it all in.

After a long time, when the surroundings calmed.

The host walked onto the stage with a microphone

"Meng Chuan, do you have anything you'd like to say to the audience here and friends in front of televisions now?"

Meng Chuan was prepared, took the microphone from the host, and said aloud:

"For practicing Xingyi, find Infinite! Infinite Martial Arts Dojo is the road to becoming a Martial Arts Family!"

Having learned the methods from Ape God Martial Arts Dojo, such a good chance, he had to help promote for his master!

On the judges' side, hearing his disciple advertising for him, Luo Guanyun was amused.

"This kid..."

"Solid and not bad!"

...

The youth group's competition concluded, after lunch and a short break, it was time for the youth matches.

At noon, the dojo members gathered to dine together.

The teacher's wife had matters to attend and left earlier, Luo Guanyun and Meng Chuan were sitting together, chatting while eating.

Suddenly, a red-haired woman with wavy hair approached.

"Good afternoon to both of you, may I take a moment of your time for a brief introduction."

"I am a staff at Yong'an City Martial Arts University, currently overseeing the high school preparatory class."

"May I ask, is Meng Chuan still attending a regular high school?"

Meng Chuan nodded honestly.

"With Meng Chuan's talent, remaining in a regular high school is truly underestimating his potential."

"I sincerely invite you to join our Yong'an Martial Arts University preparatory class under Chen Sihua, with Grandmaster Chen focusing on intense cultivation."

Meng Chuan instinctively wanted to refuse, having agreed with Principal Zong to continue shining at Ping'an Middle School.

"Meng, don't reject yet, listen to my explanation first."

"With your talent, I guess you aim to enter Northern United University, those top Martial Arts Universities."

"I believe you can certainly get in, but as they say, better to be a head than a tail."

"Northern United University, home to myriad geniuses; going there, you might not get resource allocation or special cultivation focus, in this aspect, it's inferior to our Yong'an Martial Arts University."

"I can sign a contract with you guaranteeing your inclusion in Yong'an Martial Arts University's special cultivation program, within fifteen years—no, ten years, fulfilling the contract to nurture you into a Martial Arts Family!"

The red-haired woman wanted to continue, but Luo Guanyun interrupted bluntly:

"No need to say more, your terms aren't great, maybe within ten years, my disciple will surpass Martial Arts Families."

"My disciple is meant for Northern United University's Grandmaster Class in the future, no need, thank you."
