After reading the news and the relevant intelligence on the national mission system, Meng Chuan still didn’t find any clues about the whereabouts of the former headmaster of Yong’an Martial Arts University.

He showed a contemplative look:

"Probably being dealt with quietly. I wonder where Principal Yin is making his fortune now..."

Two days ago, Lu Ang told him that after investigation, they didn’t find any ulterior motives from Zhu Long towards him.

The exact whereabouts were considered a state secret and were not disclosed to Meng Chuan.

But Lu Ang assured him that the opposition would have little opportunity to approach him in the future.

Could it be that...

Great Chu has deported Yin Tianshou back to the Dragon Realm?

...

Meanwhile, in the downstream section near the Yellow River Estuary in the Weihe River, a figure swiftly moved like a swimming fish.

His entire body was submerged beneath the riverbed, leaving only a shadow briefly flashing across the river surface.

This person was the third leader of the Outer Heaven organization, responsible for inciting the San Qin Demon Nest uprising—

[Buddha Palm Jialan · Cheng Yukun].

"Strange, that kid is not in Yong’an, where is he hiding..."

In recent days, aside from the tasks assigned by the organization, Cheng Yukun had searched from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of the Weihe River, along the river paths throughout the San Qin region, but found no trace of Meng Chuan.

Little did he know, the drought-stricken and loess plateau-covered Linzhou is the only city in the San Qin area without a river passing through...

...

The next morning at the Yang Family’s [Martial Arts Building].

This is the Yang Family’s martial training core area, similar to the [Western Sage Hall] of the Shaolin Temple.

On the building’s top, there is also a public cultivation treasure land, but in terms of quantity, it cannot be compared with Shaolin.

Usually, one of the core figures of the Yang Family manages this place.

"Master Meng, feel free to use it."

The Yang Family is generous and doesn’t charge any fees.

This aspect is better than Shaolin...

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Meng Chuan took the key in his hand, thanked them, and headed straight to the elevator.

Whoosh——

As the elevator doors were about to close, a graceful figure urgently pressed the open button from outside, causing the elevator doors to reopen.

Yang Yuelian, dressed in a peach-pink embroidered cheongsam, swayed her slender waist, with her right hand on the elevator door, giving him an angry glance.

Having entered, she still didn’t speak a word to Meng Chuan...

"I’m here for training, having made a breakthrough in my cultivation technique. Why are you coming in?"

"It’s just a breakthrough, what’s there to keep secret..."

Meng Chuan turned the key in his hand, pondering slightly:

"The commotion might be large, you might get hurt."

Yang Yuelian covered her nose and mouth slightly with her hand, feigning surprise:

"You’re making a breakthrough that could hurt me, are you practicing divine skills?"

"..."

Seeing the elevator door open, Meng Chuan shook his head, didn’t explain much, and walked straight into the cultivation room located in the Water Attribute Treasure Land.

Today’s Limit Breaking Dragon King causes havoc, as well as facilitating the [Five Elements Qiankun Technique]’s third Limit Breaking, I have no time to mess around with Yang Yuelian.

The figure entered the room, and the door closed without a trace.

Yang Yuelian’s cheeks still puffed up like a hamster, pouting with suppressed anger.

He really wouldn’t let her in!

Yang Yuelian thought that after all these days of getting along, they had become quite familiar.

It seems their relationship is still distant...

Since she was already here, she walked to the Fire Attribute Cultivation Treasure Land, which serves as an excellent training ground for Phoenix Fist.

Before entering, Yang Yuelian took out her phone and called the kitchen, instructing as she used to do when practicing at home:

[Send a serving of Huadiao Stone Ginseng Soup in three hours to the Martial Arts Building’s reception.

Wait... make that two servings, deliver the second one later, in five hours.]

This second serving of Huadiao Stone Ginseng Soup was specially prepared for Meng Chuan.

From her observations, no matter what Meng Chuan does, it lasts a long time.

Especially when practicing fist techniques, it usually starts at five to six hours.

Downstairs is a thermal box, and if the soup is delivered later, it’s still warm without losing its medicinal properties, just right for Meng Chuan to consume.

Glancing once more at the cultivation room where Meng Chuan was, Yang Yuelian closed the door and immersed herself in practicing the fist technique.

The [War Heart Clarity] activated, replaying in her mind repeatedly, gradually gaining some momentum in her mental strength.

As she practiced her punches, Yang Yuelian encouraged herself inwardly:

"I must break three before the morning martial arts performance, by then we’ll be on equal footing, let’s see if he still looks at me like I’m a junior..."

As for whether she could overpower the other party after breaking three...

Yang Yuelian thought she wouldn’t discuss it now, it could be addressed later...

...

The room wasn’t very large, with the central part of the floor over two meters deep, like a square swimming pool.

Removing his shirt, revealing an incredibly strong but not bulky physique.

Meng Chuan walked into the center of the room, half of his body surrounded by water waves.

The water attribute cultivation room of the Yang Family was arranged differently from that of Shaolin.

Digging deeper, it lies in the difference in the core item that sustains the treasure land’s operations.

This makes the water attribute qi within Shaolin’s cultivation room denser.

Just as the treasure land core item in Meng Chuan’s hand.

Approaching Tier Four, obtained from the Red Fiend Nest’s [Red Crystal Coral].

This item’s effect, when nurtured for a period, would surpass that of the Shaolin Temple’s cultivation room.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Meng Chuan’s intention subtly moved, turning the icy cold water into warmth.

Exhale—

Meng Chuan took a stance and started practicing boxing.

The surrounding water attribute qi was continuously consumed, then endlessly generated and merged into fists and feet.

It flowed around and became fuel, assisting Meng Chuan in opening the gateways to limit breaking.

His mind was concentrated, all thoughts focused to a point, driving the movements of his fists and feet to become more exquisite, generating bigger waves.

The punch deepened as the tide surged, a robust life field mixed with water power burst forth, filling the entire room.

His chest visibly swelled and contracted, his breath like a white dragon crossing the river, cutting a three-foot-long narrow crack on the water surface that couldn’t heal for a long time.
