Seeing that Meng Chuan's emotions were somewhat agitated, Bai Junfeng smiled and reassured him:
"Xiaomeng, there's no need to be too nervous. It's best to come for the test in the morning,
as that is when the body's functions are at their peak for the day, and the test results will be most accurate."
"I have other matters to attend to out of town, so I won't be able to receive you,
just go straight to the front desk at the Martial Arts Association and contact the Martial Arts Testing Room,
I'll inform them in advance. You only need to go a few times, it won't take much of your time."
Bai Junfeng paused for a moment, then continued:
"You're still in school, so make sure to inform your school about taking leave beforehand. This is beneficial for your school as well, they won't refuse."
"Okay, Uncle Bai, I will definitely go on time."
Meng Chuan indicated his understanding and planned to talk to the principal about it the next day when he went to school.
After finishing the important matters, Bai Junfeng and Luo Guanyun, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sat down to chat, with Meng Chuan serving tea on the side.
As they sipped tea, Bai Junfeng looked at Meng Chuan with a face full of appreciation and said:
"Old Luo, your student is a promising talent. At such a young age, his understanding of fist skills is already so profound. Make sure to teach him well."
"Definitely."
Luo Guanyun smiled and nodded, waving his hand to indicate no further words, and signaled Meng Chuan to step out.
"Bai Junfeng, that old rascal, practices Eagle Form and has sharp eyes.
If I let Meng Chuan stay a bit longer, and he turns out to have awakened some dragon-like traits, and gets taken away by him, I'd be at a huge loss."
Meng Chuan walked out of the training room, feeling invigorated all over, and immediately shared the good news with his uncle.
His heart was filled with pride and he couldn't help but announce joyfully:
"Uncle, my National Fist has been included on the list for national discussion!"
Meng Yongzhi didn't understand:
"What does that mean?"
"It means that once the discussion is approved, the version of the National Fist learned nationwide will be the new one I revised!"
No one expected Meng Chuan to become the founder of a version of National Fist. This news was shocking, and it took Meng Yongzhi a while to speak up:
"Good, good kid! I always knew you could do it, keep it up!"
"If you need anything for martial arts, let me know, your uncle will fully support you!"
Meng Yongzhi didn't know what else to say, so he just spoke sincerely from his heart.
After Bai Junfeng left, Meng Chuan was called back in by Luo Guanyun.
"Young one, come and sit."
"Since that night, have you felt any changes in your body?"
"Especially when practicing martial arts, have there been any changes?"
Upon hearing Luo Guanyun's inquiry, Meng Chuan thought for a moment and answered truthfully, as he wanted to show his progress:
"When I practice martial arts, it feels like I've had an epiphany. Not only have I become smoother in my fist skills, but I can also hold a stance for longer."
"Also, I should be more than just a beginner in Cannon Fist; I should already be proficient."
Hearing this, Luo Guanyun's eyes lit up, and he was inwardly delighted:
"Come, let me see you perform."
Luo Guanyun remembered he had just taught Cannon Fist not long ago, and in just a few days, Meng Chuan had progressed from a beginner to proficient.
If this were true, it must have been a result of stimulation and subsequent awakening.
Meng Chuan stood up and stepped forward, immediately getting into the state.
He began focusing entirely on performing Cannon Fist. With the support of his unique traits, he didn't forget any movements he had learned, and finished smoothly with the signature three-cannon volley.
Meng Chuan's Cannon Fist was executed with fluidity, unlike what a beginner could master, and it even showed signs of proficiency—the three-cannon volley.
From these observations, Luo Guanyun was certain that Meng Chuan had awakened a special trait!
"Good, good! Solid and impressive!"
"Come, Xiaomeng, let's have a talk."
Meng Chuan sat beside him accordingly.
"You must have noticed, that after that night, your talent has greatly improved,
Not only has National Fist broken through limits, but you may also have awakened a latent trait."
Luo Guanyun appeared a bit embarrassed, but continued:
"I admit I might appear somewhat opportunistic, but there's no other way. In martial arts, without talent, everything is just empty talk."
"Moreover, what I plan to teach is the most difficult Thunder Law True Skill, and I've already explained its dangers to you before, right?"
Meng Chuan knew this was his chance and understood what Luo Guanyun meant to convey.
He didn't blame Luo Guanyun for looking down on him before. Now that he had awakened, Luo Guanyun wanted to take him as a disciple.
People are not infallible, after all.
Moreover, according to what Hall Master Luo said before, trying to practice Thunder Law without talent was nothing short of courting death, so he understood the change in Luo Guanyun's attitude.
After all, who could have known that Meng Chuan had the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel and the unique traits?
He felt that aside from being highly skilled, Luo Guanyun was straightforward and sincere in character.
Other than being a bit hot-tempered, he could find almost no fault, and plus, the other party had saved his life.
Seeing this, Luo Guanyun directly said:
"Meng Chuan, would you be willing to become my currently only direct disciple, to follow me in practicing the Thunder Law True Skill?"
Meng Chuan did not hesitate and replied loudly:
"Disciple Meng Chuan, pays respects to my teacher!"
"Hahaha, good, get up, get up. There's no need for kneeling these days."
Luo Guanyun was extremely pleased to finally find a student suitable for practicing Thunder Law, ensuring the Luo family's true skills were passed on.
"Let me clarify first; by taking me as your teacher, no matter where you attend university in the future, you must practice the Thunder Law True Skill and break through to become a Martial Arts Family."
"Thunder Law is dangerous; you mustn't regret it later."
Meng Chuan nodded to express his understanding:
"The disciple is willing to practice Thunder Law."
He believed with his panel and unique traits, as long as he persisted, he would surely master Thunder Law in the future.
Afterwards, he continuously expressed his gratitude to Luo Guanyun, knowing how many people longed to be the master's disciple, yet he had reaped the benefits.
"Chuan, today's apprenticeship was indeed hastily arranged. When you get home, discuss it with your parents and give me a confirmed answer. You can also tell them that there are risks involved in practicing Thunder Law, there's no need to hide it."
Luo Guanyun believed this matter was certain, but since Meng Chuan was still underage, it was better to inform the parents first.
"No problem, Master Luo. My uncle is definitely eager for me to become your disciple."
Luo Guanyun patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder, laughing heartily:
"Hahaha, well then, after you discuss it at home, give me a call!"
Meng Chuan seriously said:
"Master Luo, your willingness to accept me as a disciple is a great favor that I will never forget in my life."
"I have already told you, there's no need for that, just practice martial arts well. Continuing with your momentum is the best way to repay me."
"Let's not talk about it now; hurry home to ask your family's opinion and finalize it,
I need to prepare to meet your uncle and aunt to discuss your future development plan."
