CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 256: INFINITE FIST

"You two eat some fruit first; Old Luo, the child has already won the national championship, say a few less teaching words.

Now the child is getting closer to being a Martial Arts Family, and you’re not helping to think about what title would be appropriate in the future."

Upon hearing the master’s wife’s words, Meng Chuan felt conflicted inside.

Both in past and present lives, he has always been someone with difficulty making choices, unsure of what title would be suitable.

For a Martial Arts Family, titles are more important than face, not something to be taken lightly.

It represents the combination of martial arts will and spirit, invisibly influencing the holder’s every word and deed.

If the title is too "loud," like king or god, or certain great emperor or some such.

The mere strength of a first Limit Breaking Martial Arts Family is certainly not enough and may even backfire.

In the past, martial arts titles were not self-made.

Instead, others, out of respect and awe for the strong, would spontaneously call them titles like Sword Saint or Fist King.

These titles were not just recognition of their martial prowess, but also a spiritual symbol, silently inspiring future martial artists to vie bravely.

For someone like Meng Chuan himself, if this were the old days, he would already have a martial arts title.

It would surely be a choice between Reckless Vajra and Steel Spear...

As times progressed and we arrived at today’s Qi Blood Martial Arts Era.

Martial Arts Families focus more on their inner feelings and unique understanding of martial arts.

No longer satisfied with passively accepting the titles given by others.

Instead, they hope to define themselves, expressing their pursuit of martial arts through titles.

They devise titles that match their own style to highlight their uniqueness in the martial arts field.

Hearing his wife’s words, Luo Guanyun also scratched his head irritably and said:

"Chuan’er, why don’t you just choose one yourself? After all, no one understands better than you about what martial arts will you’re embodying."

He was also bad at naming, so he decided to pass the buck to Meng Chuan.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Chuan said:

"Master, since I’ve used Celestial King of Qin’s True Martial, can I not inherit his title?"

"[Fist Shocking the Eight Desolates]?"

"Yes."

Like King Xiang, he was someone who poured his emotions into fist techniques.

The four words sounded imposing, but without particularly high-ranking terms, Meng Chuan liked them very much.

"You have no chance; the defender of the west of Great Chu has inherited this title. But you can challenge him for the title, snatch it from him."

"..."

Meng Chuan was speechless; his master was getting more cheeky by the day.

No need to think, the opponent must be someone like [Celestial Bear Shaking Mountains·Lu Ang].

The pillar of the West of Great Chu, Martial Arts Celestial King.

"Chuan’er, how about ’Fist Shocking Ten Desolates’? It beats him by two desolates."

"...Not feasible."

Meng Chuan rejected decisively, as no matter how many desolates his fists shocked, it felt like he was piggybacking off others.

More than the opponent seemed to suggest stepping over Martial Arts Celestial King’s head, which was courting death.

Lesser than the opponent gave a feeling of weakness, losing value.

Luo Guanyun thought it over, analyzed based on Meng Chuan’s characteristics:

"How about [Fist Overlord]?"

"No."

His image was no longer like a good guy, including ’overlord’ in the title would mean fully going down a dark path.

"Why not go with Reckless Vajra? Master thinks it sounds quite like your surname."

"Absolutely not."

"Five Aggregates Vajra? It fits your fist skill hard skills, covering both ends. Although it’s a bit grand, Master believes you can hold it."

Meng Chuan covered his face, speechless:

"...Master, can we stop dragging Vajra into this..."

Thinking about Five Aggregates Vajra, Meng Chuan imagined seven calabash brothers, turning into seven-colored little Vajra...

Luo Guanyun was also troubled, though his title [Qianyuan Thunder Strike] sounded dignified.

It was a family inheritance, not something he came up with...

"Why not inherit Qianyuan Thunder Strike, just as I am now a Grandmaster, switching to a more imposing title."

Martial Arts Families often choose to change titles after becoming a Grandmaster.

On one hand, the title established during Martial Arts Families underestimates their current strength, and they think of better ones.

On the other hand, it represents having higher pursuits regarding martial arts.

Meng Chuan considered briefly but then declined.

Qianyuan Thunder Strike did not align with his martial arts will.

In the future, for his particular skills, he was bound to learn the techniques of various schools, encompassing everything, not solely specializing in thunder techniques.

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan suddenly had an epiphany that a certain title suited him well.

He was not attached to lofty titles; his current martial arts will sought to pursue the endless possibilities of martial arts through Limit Breaking, until the end.

To be cautious, Meng Chuan decided to think about it further.

By night, he returned to his bedroom, turned off the light.

Lying on the bed, he put his arms under his head and murmured to himself:

"How about Infinite Fist..."

...

Early the next morning, as soon as Meng Chuan returned to school, he dedicated himself to intense training.

Teacher Dong Yue had classes that morning, so his punching time was moved to the afternoon.

True Dragon Pavilion.

Meng Chuan was practicing his punches while Lu Zhuxiao watched and guided him on the side.

His eyes were filled with amusement; this kid looked pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked.

"Meng, rest for a while if you’re tired from punching; balance work and rest."

He had heard of Luo Qin, the next generation [Celestial Pivot Head] recognized by the Celestial Master Mansion, holding a status equivalent to United University Martial Extreme True Inheritance.

This level of opponent, under perfect circumstances, could still lose to Meng Chuan.

Even if Motohiko was incredible, could he possibly reach the heavens?

It’s settled, United University Martial Extreme True Inheritance is settled, the gold medal lecturer is settled!

He could already see the Martial Arts Master’s beckoning gesture.
