CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 256: INFINITE FIST

By then, due to the prestige from the disciple’s success, there’s no need to talk about a gold medal lecturer’s salary multiplying.

Just the reward of credits from the United University is enough to acquire the Limit Breaking cultivation resources I’ve been coveting for a long time.

"Alright, Master Lu, you go have a smoke first, I’ll meditate for ten minutes."

Earlier this morning, Principal Yang informed him.

Yesterday, the main campus allocated a batch of credits as a reward for his championship win, so he’s checking if it has been deposited.

Coincidentally, Meng Chuan picked up the phone and saw a message from the finance department in Fengtian headquarters.

[Meng Chuan, due to your championship win in the Martial Artist level national competition, the school board has decided to reward you with 800 credits, which have been deposited to your account (current balance: 1166 credits).

The credits can be used to exchange for cultivation resources, cultivation technique permissions, etc. For specific usage rules, please refer to the "Northern United University Credit Management Regulations".]

He operated on his phone, opened his school’s electronic file, and indeed saw that 800 credits had been deposited.

He originally thought that rewarding 500 credits would be excellent.

Unexpectedly, it was 300 more than he guessed, a profitable gain.

Meng Chuan counted his current currency-like resources.

Aside from transferring fifteen million to his master to ease pressure, he still has nearly 20 million left.

This amount is used to purchase basic cultivation resources, like Five Elements Soup and Body Forging Ointment, which would suffice until advancing to Martial Arts Family.

Following this is the credits.

He plans to save credits obtained each month, aside from the expenses on palm strikes and learning fist techniques, and use them later after becoming a Martial Arts Family.

Speaking of external resources, those beneficial to Martial Arts Family’s cultivation are scarce.

Most likely, he needs to rely on the country’s "Battle Merit System", United University’s "Credit System", and seek opportunities with Hanhai Company.

The credit system currently appears to be the most convenient channel for obtaining Martial Arts Family resources, so naturally, he cannot spend extravagantly at the Martial Artist stage.

Moreover, his future path as a Martial Arts Family will be unique, unlike ordinary people, who simply master a few True Skills for practice.

He needs to spend credits to pay the "Apprentice Fee" for different True Skills within United University.

Studying various True Skills to break limits with more advanced attributes.

Thus, Meng Chuan considers, from a long-term perspective:

It’s not cost-effective to buy a Celestial Demon Core for Dragon Demon or any items helpful for Martial Artist cultivation; using credits must be carefully calculated.

...

Meanwhile, in the northern central area of Great Chu, Fengtian City.

Fengtian, as the place where the previous dynasty prospered, appears slightly serene after the passage of time.

But with Northern United University headquarters settled there, Fengtian has once again become the core hub gathering Northern Lands’ top martial arts resources and talents.

And it’s become the pillar of the nation to resist Demon Path and eliminate Celestial Demons, its status as prominent as in its glorious past.

Unlike the Yong’an branch, Northern United University headquarters is not located on the outskirts of the city, but built directly in the very center of Fengtian.

The campus is constructed on the former site of the Fengtian Marshal’s Mansion, expanded by nearly a hundredfold.

It has become a martial arts sacred ground occupying one-quarter of Fengtian City, firmly safeguarding it.

Entering Northern United University’s main campus.

Passing through buildings as majestic as dragons and tigers, the hidden "Grandmaster Pavilion" comes into view.

Within this villa complex reside the twenty-six Martial Arts Grandmasters of the headquarters.

Each Grandmaster’s mansion has a unique style that subtly aligns with the Grandmaster’s martial arts will.

Among them, the innermost building has obviously just been completed.

In front of the mansion, a pair of tiger copper sculptures stand mightily on both sides, surrounded by cloud patterns and exquisite jewels, displaying a noble tiger form.

This mansion houses the headquarters’ newly promoted Tiger Form Grandmaster.

[Profound Slaughter Mountain Lord · Shang Ruyi]!

At this moment, inside the mansion, a strong man with a cropped head, his sharp eyes like electricity, a malicious aura between his brows, stands sturdily like a ferocious tiger poised on a mountain. A subtle aura of profound slaughter continuously surrounds him, as if the beast is ready to pounce any moment.

"Hong’Er, have you thought of your title?"

Beside him stands a mighty young man resembling him.

After a moment of thought, he pondered:

"Master, currently Liu Celestial King is the ’Tiger King’. May I take on the word ’Fierce’ after reaching Martial Arts Family to express my martial arts will?"

The two words signifying the first title in the Elephant Form Sect, while Great Saints are beyond the scope of consideration like heavenly beings.

"Fierce Tiger King? Hong’Er has quite a ambition."

The Tiger Form is flourishing, almost being the largest faction within the Elephant Form Sect.

Liu Celestial King being called such shows he is a top character among the Celestial Kings.

Motohiko wishes to assume the title "Fierce Tiger King", making his ultimate goal clear.

Among countless Tiger Form martial artists, only he dares to bear the word ’Fierce’.

Seeing his formidable ambition, Shang Ruyi is very pleased.

"My disciple resembles me, even surpasses me. Go, succeed in advancing, and I’ll celebrate for you."

"Alright!"

Before entering the retreat chamber, Motohiko solemnly declared:

"Master, I want to like you did back then. Next year, Martial Extreme True Inheritance, I must win it."

Hearing his disciple’s words, Shang Ruyi smiled with gratification:

"Master also believes you can achieve this, but for now, don’t think about those things, focus on breaking through the realm."

"Understood."

...

Lishan Mountain, Northern United University Yong’an branch.

Meng Chuan just finished lunch and is heading to Teacher Dong Yue’s dormitory for palm strikes.

Today’s palm training on Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body has reached its limit and needs release urgently.

At this moment, through perception, Meng Chuan discovered the Dragon Demon is quite docile within his body.

Its blue-black body nestled within the middle dantian without a trace of rebellion.

Typically, the more Dragon Qi is accumulated in the Dragon Demon body, the more it wants to escape his body for fresh air.

Yet recently, the being hasn’t come out at all, seeming as if the Dragon Demon is avoiding him.
