Chapter 466 - 431: Divine Sword Immortal Ape, Sky Transformation, Starry Radiance Cloak!
Meng Chuan understood that when accepting a contract to kill, who would bring all their possessions?Unable to afford magical storage items, of course, they would set off with just their tools...
There might be some miscellaneous things, but they all evaporated under the thunderfire.
However, even his own strike couldn’t withstand it.
It wouldn’t be anything valuable in itself, no need to care.
He made a phone call, and soon the sound of police sirens echoed from the foot of the mountain.
On the mountain, a Huashan Grandmaster, also alarmed by the previous sounds, came riding his sword.
The visitor was a familiar face, Yu Chenghong Grandmaster, who had guided Meng Chuan at the "Hezu Cave" earlier that morning.
Seeing Meng Chuan communicating with the police personnel, he stood aside and waited for a moment.
Yu Chenghong sensed around the area, and only then felt relieved.
He was afraid someone from their own school might have done something rash and descended the mountain to assassinate Meng Chuan.
Not to mention other concerns, the opponent is a "Martial Extreme True Inheritance".
The fury of Northern United University alone would be too much for Huashan to bear.
Northern United University is about to have a dual saint school, while Huashan has yet to have a top-tier Celestial King...
Fortunately, the former old principal of Huashan Martial Arts University, Mu Feng, became a Dao Venerated ten years ago.
Afterwards, he inherited the title of the former first in the world ancestor Mu Renqing — "Divine Sword Immortal Ape".
This barely kept Huashan in a first-rate Martial Arts University position.
Judging from the battlefield residues, it seemed this matter had nothing to do with Huashan Martial Arts University, it was foreign assassins.
Only then did he have the mind to survey the surroundings.
Looking at the large ravine on the Golden Lock Pass stone steps, and the Ear Cliff that’s been pierced, he was incredibly amazed.
"Is this the destructive power that Two Limits can achieve?"
Even with True Qi reinforcement, Sword Qi chopping.
The peak of Two Limits couldn’t cause this kind of damage.
Let alone, this was clearly caused by a fist.
It’s really "Unmatchable Iron Fist"...
Yu Chenghong mused:
"I fear... this youngster has already grasped the power of Intention, the prototype of Intention."
Being a Xingyi Sect Martial Arts Grandmaster himself, he knew only through the combination of willpower and Qi Blood eruption.
To transform Kidney Water, Heart Fire, and other types of "Qi", turning virtual into real.
Could one amplify the momentum and True Qi power, thus unleashing such destructive force.
To grasp the Intention prototype at the Second Major Limit, such an individual is one in thousands.
Anyway, there’s not one in Huashan Martial Arts University.
"Moreover, this one’s Qi Blood is still weak, just entering the Two Limits and already grasped it..."
Thinking of this, Yu Chenghong found it hard to believe.
No wonder Yong’an and even San Qin regions all rumored this one’s future as a foundational Celestial King.
In Hezu Cave earlier, witnessing his exceptional comprehension, it was mere "talking on paper".
Now upon seeing, he realized what the world said was not false.
This youngster, indeed has a promising future.
Nearby, Meng Chuan led Huayin City Police Department to the "crime scene".
The police personnel all carried special instruments, tinkering with the debris.
Then, they looked up and said:
"It is indeed a Black Water Company assassin, the remnants leave a killing aura we’ve dealt with multiple times before, we won’t be wrong."
Meng Chuan nodded in understanding, as he had already found the work badge.
Getting the police personnel to confirm was to prevent any Demon Path forces impersonating Black Water Company assassins and shifting blame.
For instance... he strongly suspected it was the "Demon Summoning Hall" doing...
After all, he had provoked them not infrequently recently, their retaliation was not unexpected.
Meng Chuan felt no guilt in his demon-extermination path, he wasn’t worried as he held Yang Lao’s image stone...
He shared his suspicion of Demon Summoning Hall with the aged-looking captain who pondered for a moment, then said:
"Since you’re saying this, I suspect the Demon Summoning Hall placed a high bounty on you.
This trio from the Black Water team, also took the contract and acted, probably out of avarice."
Meng Chuan thought about it, indeed he hadn’t recently tangled with Black Water Company’s demon followers.
Most likely, it was as the other said, Demon Summoning Hall was behind it.
Demon Summoning Hall, relying on Celestial Demon, had increasingly frequent connections between Demon Nest and human world in recent years.
They were faintly becoming the leading Demon Path force.
At this thought, Meng Chuan handed the sniper killer’s badge to the police captain.
Upon receiving it, an undercurrent of emotion flashed in his expression.
The captain explained:
"This person is our Huayin’s long-wanted Demon Path assassin, ’Mo Shangfeng Yao Junkai’, reportedly close to breaking three.
Bold and reckless before, he assassinated a Two Limits martial artist from our Huayin Martial Arts Association, unexpected that he met his end at your hands..."
And this Yao Junkai even recruited two helpers who’ve undergone five enhancements.
Three people assassinating one, yet all got counter-killed...
What’s most shocking, from the traces left at the scene.
The trio seemed completely crushed, without a trace of resistance...
How strong could this Xiaomeng’s power be?
Could it be close to breaking the three...
He had also read the report from San Qin Daily, wasn’t it just the other day he entered Two Limits, how could he be so strong?
This kind of thing is too rare, the captain took a while to compose himself.
Meng Chuan stood aside, had a laugh and chat with Yu Chenghong Grandmaster.
Seeing the police personnel have collected the remains of the three demon followers, he bid farewell to Yu Grandmaster, leaving the mountain with the police.
"Yu Grandmaster, till we meet again."
Yu Chenghong, at this point, already regarded Meng Chuan as a peer.
He clasped his fists and smiled:
"Good, wish you a smooth journey and sword path ahead!"
"When you come back, remember to visit Mount Hua again, I’ll let you taste our exclusive Jade Lady Brew."
"It’s a deal."
Meng Chuan smiled and clasped his hands in response.
Yu Chenghong flew in the air with his sword, watching Meng Chuan descend the mountain.
Seeing his figure completely vanish into the eternal mists of Mount Hua.
Only then did his heart stir, turning his flying sword back to the mountain top.
Upon witnessing Meng Chuan’s excellence, as the vice principal of Martial Arts University of Mount Hua,
he felt increasingly frustrated with his own students for not meeting expectations.
But there’s no helping it, with nine special Martial Arts Universities plus the reformed Central Military Academy suppressing from above.
No matter how hard they try, Mount Hua cannot recruit disciples of such talent.
...
The next morning, Meng Chuan first went to the Huayin Martial Arts Association to claim his bounty.
Depositing fifty million, his balance once again exceeded one billion, with 1.4 billion still left in his account.
This sum, in a past life, would be enough for financial freedom, a time to relax and enjoy life.
Yet in this life, Meng Chuan’s goal is the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Even if more zeros are added later, it won’t shake his martial heart.
The Huayin police are helping him trace the source of the bounty, promising results in a few days.
Meng Chuan decided to temporarily stay in town to wait.
Without fully understanding the true origin of the assassination, he could never be at ease.
Though he has Yang’s backup plan for support, he must still tread carefully, avoiding carelessness.
...
The city of Huayin, being too close to Mount Hua, is reached by the perennial mist from the mountain.
The fog mingles with the steam from the tea house, Meng Chuan raised the small cup and drank in one gulp:
"Good tea!"
Rain falls incessantly during the Qingming season, Meng Chuan has stood in Huayin for five days.
Today is April 4th, Qingming Festival.
With the tea in the cup finished, he silently mourned for the enemies he had slain along the way.
May they not take a wrong path in their next life...
Returning to his senses, he began introspection within his body while heading to the police station.
During these days, he focused mainly on quiet cultivation techniques and Pile Skill, without practicing fist skills for long sessions.
Because his Martial Arts will had transformed through experiences at the Celestial Temple and Mount Hua.
The martial sky within him likewise underwent significant changes.
These days, just like when he broke through the limits during physical mutation recovery.
He used quiet cultivation to fully understand the changes brought to his body by the transformation of his Martial Arts will.
His Martial Arts will was strengthened through these insights.
Were it not for his Qi and Blood not catching up, using the power of Intention wouldn’t need the assistance of slaughter will.
Qi and Blood is the driving force for Intention activation.
Meng Chuan estimated at least ten thousand points of Qi and Blood are needed.
Only then can his Martial Arts will independently connect with momentum, thereby altering reality and triggering the emergence of the Intention prototype.
Most importantly, with the enhancement of this intangible willpower,
it too will "turn from virtual to real" like Martial Arts Momentum, imprinted within the martial artist and embodied in the martial firmament.
This inner world becomes increasingly real.
Though presently the firmament only houses stars, without the sun and moon.
Yet the solidity of the stars far surpasses before.
Originally, when he introspected.
The stars on the cosmic orbit were as insubstantial as projections from a projector.
Yet now, this slightly sparse "sea of stars,"
appears somewhat solid, like a model printed in 3D.
Using perception to touch, there is feedback of actual substance.
As his Martial Arts will continues to enhance, until the 361 stars are entirely lit by Qi and Blood, he will possess the ability to have the sea of stars reflect into reality.
The cosmic orbit will guide stars onto the body surface, starlight transforms into a garment to reinforce the flesh.
Meng Chuan estimated, being close to this boundary.
Aside from the gap in Qi and Blood, his Martial Arts will needs another one or two advancements at least.
Meanwhile, his Martial Arts Momentum is also nourished by willpower.
The invisible magnetic field and momentum around him rise upward, becoming more powerful.
Previously at "Ear Scraping Cliff," managing to instantaneously kill two five-time transcendents with the fire-intention-driven Bing Fire Yang Thunder, was due to the enhancement of his Martial Arts Momentum.
His momentum, through the prior transformation of Qi, Blood, and essence, and this enhancement led by Martial Arts will,
has long surpassed the limit of the second level great master in momentum.
Enabling the explosion of Intention to unleash power beyond the second limit’s maximum.
Meng Chuan estimated that, in a surprise attack, he could unleash a full-force strike
probably contending with a few moves against a Martial Arts Master.
Of course, if given time to react and counter, he would only be able to flee swiftly...
Due to the gap in Qi and Blood being too vast.
His Qi and Blood value merely crossing the five-thousand mark, not yet as much as the tip of the third major limit.
Qi and Blood is the foundation of martial progress, can only be accumulated gradually.
Hoping for sudden realization and enhancement like with will, momentum, and martial principles is impossible.
Therefore, Meng Chuan isn’t anxious, just steadily cultivates the heart method and fist skill as usual.
His combat prowess is already quite monstrous, if upon entering the second limit he can counter the third limit, it’s truly astonishing.
Sensational actions naturally require special traits to achieve.
Consistent practice is just a matter of time, Meng Chuan isn’t rushed.
He estimated, when his Qi and Blood surpasses ten thousand.
Facing Martial Arts Masters wouldn’t be too challenging, displaying all means should allow him to contend.
When his Qi and Blood breakthrough to twenty thousand, with traits in play, countering those initially entering the third limit will come naturally...
