Meng Chuan twitched his chapped lips, turning to look at Luo Guanyun:
"Why didn't anyone discover it earlier?"
Luo Guanyun was silent for a moment before answering:
"Just like the Level Four Demon Nest outside the city, if the Demon Nest Master inside managed to reach Yong'an City, with just a breath, the city's population would be decimated."
"But it's precisely because there are tall figures standing firm within that most of us can catch a breath."
"Tong Family Lane was a low-probability event. Put your mind at ease and practice martial arts. Only when you become part of a Martial Arts Family can you protect yourself and those around you."
"Your uncle has great expectations for you; he doesn't want you to sink into despair."
Hearing Luo Guanyun's words, Meng Chuan felt somewhat relieved, realizing it wasn't that the powerful neglected those below, but that they had more important missions.
"Hall Master, if you break through to the eighth major limit, can you completely expel the Celestial Demon?"
Upon becoming a part of a Martial Arts Family, one must unlock the eight major genetic locks of the human body, with each unlocked limit allowing for exponential strength growth.
The strongest in today's world have already broken through the seventh major limit, possessing unbelievable power to open the heavens and split the earth, being called the [Great Saint] by humankind!
Luo Guanyun pondered for a while before responding:
"To be honest, I don't know. With the current level of human strength, it's not achievable, but the mysteries of the human body are endless, and human power is limitless. Humans can conquer nature! I believe someday, someone will stand up and lead us to completely annihilate the Celestial Demon."
Meng Chuan's eyes lit up. With the [Martial Arts Limit Breaking Panel], he hoped to become the one at the forefront, holding a torch to illuminate the path, as long as he worked hard enough.
With a new goal in mind, Meng Chuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have already broken a limit, so he concentrated his Heart Spirit.
The panel, like a tide in the river, rose, creating waves and slowly floated before his eyes.

[Martial Arts Limit Breaking Panel]
[Martial Arts]
[National Obligation Basic Boxing: Limit Breaking (Once Certified, Always Certified) (Super)]
[Pile Skill]
[Taiyi Three Talents Posture: Human Posture (2%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Dawn and Dusk Enlightenment (Basic)]
Staring at the super trait he dreamed of—Once Certified, Always Certified, Meng Chuan felt indescribable emotions, with twelve years of trials and tribulations, he was finally able to see the light of day.
Upon seeing Once Certified, Always Certified on the panel, he realized that he had undergone earth-shattering changes, with a mysterious power emerging from within his body, infusing from the top of his head, coursing through his blood throughout his body.
Finally, all the energy converged into his heart acupoint, rejuvenating his spirit.
The four major effects of the trait each began to work on his body.
At that moment, memories of the National Obligation Boxing emerged, as if it was just yesterday.
Twelve years of enlightenment transformed into a red comet forever imprinted within his body, and Meng Chuan clearly understood that this was Once Certified, Always Certified; once obtained, never lost.
At the same time, he recalled the Cannon Fist he hadn't yet started, gaining several insights and wishing he could practice immediately.
Luo Guanyun noticed his emotions stabilized and reminded:
"Your right hand has exerted too much force, causing muscle strain, and previously being possessed by the Celestial Demon has injured your essence, energy, and spirit. Rest and recuperate first, practice boxing after recovery. Young people heal quickly, so you won't have lasting damage."
"I'll first help you treat the muscle strain; stretch your arm out."
Having said that, Luo Guanyun extinguished his cigarette, grasped Meng Chuan's raised right arm, and a tingling electric sensation transmitted from Meng Chuan's palm to his upper arm, making him feel very comfortable.
"Alright, give it a couple of days for the muscle to recover."
Meng Chuan looked at his arm, feeling that it no longer hurt. He never thought martial arts could have such a peculiar function, even healing injuries.
He then recalled how Hall Master Luo saved him with a move, with thunder clearing the ground, appearing god-like, making him admire the Thunder Skill greatly.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan spoke up:
"Hall Master, I want to learn the Thunder Skill from you."
Hearing Meng Chuan speak, Luo Guanyun teased with a smile:
"Little one, weren't you only practicing National Obligation Boxing? Why do you want to learn the Thunder Skill too?"
Meng Chuan told him he had already broken through to a master.
Luo Guanyun was shocked at heart. He was skeptical of Meng Chuan's words, as the National Obligation Boxing was improved by countless contributions from predecessors, the most suitable foundational boxing for the people of Great Chu, practiced by tens of billions of people nationwide. Could it be improved and broken through by a young lad?
Seeing the Hall Master's disbelief, Meng Chuan confidently assured:
"I can prove it to you after I've fully recovered."
Luo Guanyun suddenly thought of something and continued asking:
"Did you break through when facing the Celestial Demon just now?"
Meng Chuan confirmed, wanting to learn Luo Guanyun's Thunder Skill, which possessed apocalyptic power and methods against the Celestial Demon, leaving no reason not to learn.
"Come find me after you've recovered, but in the meantime, I suggest not to announce it. Your family background is ordinary, and some things can't be protected; you understand my point, right?"
Meng Chuan nodded, indicating he understood Luo Guanyun's meaning. The world, in general, was bright, but there would always be places the sun couldn't reach. He was still too weak now, feeling an urgency to bolster his strength to protect himself and his family.
"About the Thunder Skill, do you know about True Skill?"
Meng Chuan shook his head, and Luo Guanyun continued:
"True Skill is martial arts that only a Martial Arts Family can practice. To learn True Skill, firstly, you need to unlock the corresponding prerequisite martial arts, and secondly, you need support from more than nine Qi and Blood Gates to have a chance at entry. Once entering and refining essence into energy, it signifies you've broken through the Qi and Blood Gate to become a [Martial Arts Family] member.
Therefore, True Skill is extremely hard to master, but once grasped, it often possesses incredible power.
Xingyi True Skill can change the heavens with a thought when cultivated to profundity; some Elephant Form True Skill can transform into a fierce tiger in the forest or even a hundred-chariot dragon."
"My practice is even among the exceptional True Skills, recorded in my family as [Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill], truly handed down from the heavens. Since ancient times, none have perfected it, let alone breaking through to a master and improving it."
"Other True Skills may only require three or four prerequisite cultivation techniques perfected as conditions for practice, but my family's True Skill demands requirements for fist skill, body technique, and physique, with prerequisite techniques being more than twice that of other True Skills."
"In truth, your talent is not enough; even the prerequisite martial arts would make you suffer a lifetime. Letting you train is harming you."
