"...Alright, once you understand, it's actually quite simple.
In the arena, you might encounter some unconventional weapons like the Mandarin Duck Halberd, hand cudgel, rope dart, etc.
As long as you grasp the principles, facing them isn't difficult. Most people only fall short in battle because they've never seen them before.
Next, I'll demonstrate using these weapons one by one. Meng Chuan, come up and give it a try."
"Coming."
Facing the unconventional weapon in Lu Zhuxiao's hands.
Meng Chuan circled around and used the Eight Steps to Catching a Cicada technique to search for an opportunity, dodging a few times before finding the chance to forcibly break in.
Lu Zhuxiao didn't exert much force, and the hand cudgel was instantly knocked away by Meng Chuan.
He said helplessly:
"You're completely relying on your hard skills to charge recklessly. If you encounter a strong opponent, you'll definitely fail."
Meng Chuan bent down to pick up the weapon, handed it to Teacher Lu, and said with a smile:
"Master Lu, this physique is something I've trained, so why not use it?"
Lu Zhuxiao thought to himself, Meng Chuan's words were not wrong.
"After all, people are different. This kid has trained a lot of hard skills, really extraordinary..."
Hard skills are already niche, apart from some fervent enthusiasts, common people at most practice one or two to increase their margin for error.
But Meng Chuan is different, the amount of hard skills he has almost surpasses his fist skills...
Next, Lu Zhuxiao let someone else try resisting, while Meng Chuan stood aside, watching and thinking.
The other students had to fully concentrate on dodging; these unconventional weapons are mostly vicious, landing anywhere on the body would flay a large piece of skin.
Take the hand cudgel, for example, it's shaped like a large hammer but the striking head at the tip is very small, the largest only walnut-sized, hence called a cudgel.
This cudgel seems ordinary but due to its small center of gravity, it swings swiftly like the wind.
Coupled with the user's strength and swinging speed, it can generate immense impact force.
If struck on parts like arms or thighs, it can easily cause bone fractures.
If struck on the front of the body, it would cause intense vibration to internal organs, leading to internal bleeding and other serious injuries.
Even without apparent wounds on the surface, it can easily be life-threatening.
Over this period of learning, Meng Chuan gradually mastered how to counter those wielding such weapons based on his own situation.
Nothing else, once familiarized with their weapon techniques, he finds the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, using his body to withstand if necessary to seize the chance.
His understanding is:
"I can take a couple of hits, then send him away with a full swing, it wouldn't be a loss."
In fact, as long as one overcomes the fear of sharp weapons mentally, it's still a contest of the martial artist's comprehensive physical quality in fights.
Meng Chuan's confidence isn't baseless; his recent practice of hard skills has shown improvement.
If he fully engages, Xu Qingfeng's alloy fan bones, which can shatter gold and break stone, would feel like a back massage when hitting him.
At the same time, when the Dragon Bone is activated in combat mode, his pair of iron fists will become both defensive and offensive.
Once attacked, he can completely fend off barehanded.
This is his advantage, an innate physical talent, plus Nirvana Rainbow Enhancing Efficiency.
For others to achieve in just one year, to gain the kind of prominence he has, is fundamentally impossible.
After class, Meng Chuan and a few others went to practice punches on the silicon gold stake together.
Meng Jiaolong didn't cling onto him for sparring as usual, but instead stood nearby, seriously practicing on the stake.
Her hair was tied in a lively high ponytail, with sweat dripping down the strands, during breaks, she tucked a few stray hairs behind her ears.
The heavy makeup on her face from before was removed, leaving just a light powder that in combination with a light purple yoga outfit, unexpectedly added a bit of heroism.
Meng Chuan thought she looked better than with heavy smokey eyes, so she stopped wearing them.
While throwing punches, she thought to herself:
"Running water doesn't compete for the lead, we still have a long time to attend the United University Grandmaster Class together."
Meng Jiaolong understood, Meng Chuan had already figured out what she was thinking but just kept quiet about it.
However, this itself is a form of rejection, she's not foolish.
So she decided to shift her long-term strategy, the most important thing now is to get into the Grandmaster Class at United University.
Competition for the Grandmaster Class is fierce; seven levels of Qi Blood aren't secure, even if she has a grandmaster mother adding extra points.
"Work hard for the Grandmaster Class! Enroll with Meng..."
...
Early the next morning.
Today, Meng Chuan asked Brother Gang for a day off, pausing the routine training for a day.
He put on a new Infinite Martial Arts Dojo training uniform, preparing to attend the reopening ceremony at the dojo.
As the senior student, attending such an event is a must.
Before leaving the house, he picked up his phone and saw the message posted by Le Ping in the dojo group chat.
Everyone was cheerful, except for Le Ping's words which carried a note of sorrow.
"My mom ran into trouble with Demon Path martial artists yesterday and can't attend the dojo's opening ceremony today, sorry."
Le Ping was also a long-time dojo member, and the students below all voiced their comfort to him.
Meng Chuan felt a sense of sympathy fill his heart.
"Le Ping's mother had an accident..."
He realized that the Demon Path and Celestial Demon were always around, danger never far away.
He then called Le Ping, and once connected, he consoled:
"Condolences... Train hard, get into a good Martial Arts University this year, and fulfill Auntie's wish."
On the other side of the phone, Le Ping choked up and said:
"Brother Chuan... I know, thank you.
I will definitely train hard, get into a good Martial Arts University and become part of the Martial Arts Family.
This is my mom's greatest wish, I definitely... will fulfill it."
As the conversation grew more sorrowful, Meng Chuan could only continue to comfort:
"You also need to take care of yourself in the future, don't let Uncle worry about you."
"Understood, Brother Chuan, you take care too, keep practicing martial arts."
Meng Chuan hung up the phone. Due to Le Ping's situation, the joy of the dojo's reopening was greatly dampened, and his mood was particularly heavy.
"Work hard at martial arts, completely vanquish demons..."
...
[Infinite Martial Arts Dojo stop has arrived, please gather your belongings and disembark in an orderly fashion.]
Meng Chuan heard the announcement inside the vehicle and stood up to get off.
In front of him.
The former Greenland Plaza had already been renamed "Infinite Square."
Back in the day, other businesses were also stationed in the plaza.
Now, everywhere he looked, all the buildings in the plaza belonged to the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.
There was a special Martial Arts Dojo building for training fist skills, and next to it, another building specifically for simulating natural environments in the Xingyi Martial Arts Zone.
The most outrageous thing was that an area in the back of the plaza was fenced off as a "Zoo."
They even hired caretakers to breed lions, tigers, apes, and a range of other animals for the Elephant Form Sect students to understand their forms.
Meng Chuan looked around, all of it was his master's grand vision.
"Master is really playing a big game now..."
As Grandmaster Luo's only close disciple, he's the crown prince of this grand ship.
But Meng Chuan had no other feelings about it, practicing his fist skills and increasing his Qi Blood was better than anything.
Meanwhile.
Uncle Liu's "Peak Martial Arts Dojo" merged with Infinite Martial Arts Dojo, and now he serves as the vice headmaster and chief instructor of Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.
Recently, Luo Guanyun personally came to discuss.
They also merged "Cloud Heaven Martial Arts Dojo," "Green Snake Martial Arts Dojo," and six other dojos, completely establishing the massive foundation of Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.
The six top-tier Martial Arts families cover both Xingyi and Elephant Form Sects, encompassing all sorts.
Plus the second-tier chief instructor Liu Sanduo, Infinite Martial Arts Dojo has a Martial Artist level chief trainer every day overseeing the dojo.
When this news spread recently, it was just like what Meng Chuan saw now, a sea of people at the plaza.
All were parents wanting to take advantage of the opening promotional discounts and bring their children to enroll.
Luo Guanyun is now not responsible for teaching but mainly commanding from his position.
With him around, the massive ship of Infinite Martial Arts Dojo remains as steady as Mount Tai.
This is the intimidation of a Grandmaster, the fourth limitation is already one in a million.
For the next level, Five Limit Venerable, besides encountering them in special Martial Arts Universities, they are truly rare to come by in other places.
Upon seeing Meng Chuan, Liu Sanduo pushed his round frog sunglasses with one hand and said with a smile:
"Xiaomeng? Changed your clothes already, ha-ha."
His outfit was a neat, dark black practice uniform, with an "Infinite" logo emblazoned on the chest.
Meng Chuan smiled and cupped his fist:
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
His eyes glanced over and saw a familiar skirt-clad beauty.
Liu Shuxue was also forced by Liu Sanduo to come, and joined Infinite Martial Arts Dojo as a disciple.
She may be the strongest disciple in the dojo apart from Meng Chuan.
It could be said she had already reserved the position of second senior sister at the dojo.
She originally wanted to wear a martial arts uniform, but she didn't know what her second uncle said to her mom.
Her mother insisted she wear a little skirt here, who knows what the intention was...
Liu Shuxue smiled lightly, her knee-length skirt swaying gently in the wind, accentuating her graceful figure.
She approached, pressing down her wind-swept skirt to greet.
"Hello, Brother Chuan... Let's train together in the dojo from now on, please guide me."
Her greatest advantage was her understanding, not mentioning Meng Chuan's Grandmaster as her own second uncle's boss.
Just Meng Chuan's strength alone was enough to give someone a headache.
If she provoked him, he could easily find an excuse to give her a hard time in the dojo, that would be unbearable...
Let's just say Liu Shuxue didn't understand Meng Chuan well enough.
He hadn't clashed with Liu Shuxue, no need to record it in a little notebook.
"That's right, being understanding early..."
Meng Chuan murmured in his heart, the impression this girl left on him was strong.
Not because of her pretty face, nor her strength.
But her retreat in the pre-high mountain after defending the two foolhardy ones in front of her had a touch of genius.
That move was brilliant, he learned it too...
Meng Chuan responded with a gentle smile:
"Alright, let's practice martial arts together in the future."
Infinite Martial Arts Dojo is truly anew now, the original reception hall has transformed into a grand reception building.
A few days earlier, Meng Chuan had gone up with Master Luo to take a look.
There were rest rooms for dojo's management, and the top floor, Master Luo told him a few days ago:
"See that five-hundred-square meter, enormous flat-top at the highest point? That's where you and I will rest in the future.
The second-to-last floor was the private practice room given to you by the master, impressive, isn't it?"
Coming back to reality.
He saw in front of the reception building, crowded with various governmental officials from Yong'an, each dressed sharply and jovially conversing.
Usually, Meng Chuan only saw them on TV, but today they gathered like a soccer team.
Upon seeing Meng Chuan, everyone cheerfully greeted him:
"Xiaomeng, come over!"
There were also officials who understood him, explaining to those around who were at a loss:
"This is Grandmaster Luo's close disciple, also our Infinite Martial Arts Dojo's senior brother.
His strength is exceptional, and at a young age already at Qi Blood Eight Gates, promising Grandmaster potential!
Next month, Xiaomeng will also represent our Yong'an at the Supernova competition.
Director Zhou, you're responsible for city promotions, all these are our own kids, when the time comes, make sure you personally oversee everything inside and out."
