Chapter 39 Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill - Miraculous Effect! Martial Arts - Ren and Du Meridians!
After the meeting, everyone dispersed.
Su Chen didn't go back to the dormitory; he went straight to the cultivation room.
I pushed open the door and entered; the lights were on.
He tossed his backpack against the wall, plopped down on the meditation cushion, but didn't immediately enter a meditative state.
Instead, he sat there, lost in thought for a while.
"Phew~"
He let out a long breath.
At this moment, he was nervous, excited, and thrilled—three emotions intertwined.
In the past, the practical assessments of the weekly tests mostly involved going to the building areas inhabited by demons.
This practical assessment took place in Wutou Mountain, the polluted area, the abyss rift, and the lava demon!
The difficulty level is significantly higher.
The joint entrance exam for ten schools is of similar difficulty.
But there are so many people taking the joint entrance exam for ten schools! With professors from all ten schools gathered together, it gives you a great sense of security.
And also...
Intelligence envelope, tactical division of labor among forwards, center-backs, and defenders...
"This time, the team is a bit too professional."
"It's making me a little nervous, afraid that I won't do a good job."
"but...."
Su Chen pulled his thoughts back and mentally encouraged himself.
"I'm practically cheating now."
"You still need to have confidence. You must seize the opportunity!"
"If he performs well this time, wow, Zhou Chengjie's favorability will definitely rise a lot."
"Yang Xin and Li Yu could also be potential targets! Li Yu looks like he's the strength type..."
"There's absolutely no better way to enhance friendship and affinity than fighting side-by-side in real-world combat assessments!"
He took another deep breath, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind of all the distracting thoughts.
Little Purple has been taken away to train with the Shadow Leopard, and with the teachers from the Beast Taming Hall keeping an eye on him, he doesn't need to worry about it.
The only thing I need to think about now is how to improve myself!
Real-world assessments are not individual performances; teamwork is far more important than individual effort.
However, the stronger an individual's skills, the greater the support they can provide to the team.
This is an eternal truth.
Su Chen opened his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the pet space.
The learning machine's interface lights up, and the energy balance jumps to the screen: 98.
"With the reward from the three-kilometer race in Mission One, I can squander it for four days."
"And in a day and a half, I will be able to form a contract with Zhang Yan."
"Zhang Yan's favorability rating is now as high as level 8, which can increase her energy by 94 points every day! That's only two points lower than Wang Yichuan's."
"The key point is still that level 6 Invincible Body Technique!"
"If I want to eat the Overlord Fruit quickly, the key is probably to steal her Overlord Body Technique!!!"
Su Chen felt excited just thinking about it.
"Now...let's begin!"
Mountain-Splitting Fist, Loading!
The learning machine hummed softly, and that familiar warm current rose from the dantian, flowing along the meridians to the arm.
Su Chen closed his eyes and began to feel.
……
Time passed by, second by second.
Su Chen sat motionless.
His face was calm, and his breathing was steady.
Within his body, the spiritual energy trajectory of the Mountain-Splitting Fist was repeated again and again.
Starting from the dantian, passing through the qihai, passing through the stone gate, ascending to the Zhongwan, then splitting into two paths, descending along the inner side of the arm, passing through the Quze and Neiguan, and finally reaching the Laogong.
It goes on and on!
His body was already very familiar with this path, and without deliberate guidance, the psionic energy would flow automatically along the trajectory.
But familiarity does not equate to complacency.
What truly concerned him was not the Mountain-Splitting Fist.
It's the Overlord Body Technique!
After consuming the Ice Skin Jade Marrow Pill yesterday, the immense energy washed over his meridians and acupoints, feeling like a dried-up riverbed was suddenly flooded, with every inch of his meridians being stretched, cleansed, and reshaped.
That feeling is hard to describe.
It wasn't pain, but a tingling, aching sensation that seemed to seep into your bones, with a slight burning sensation, as if every cell in your body was being reactivated!
The results are real and tangible.
After taking one pill, Su Chen felt that his strength had increased by at least ten percent!
This number is not an exaggeration; he personally verified it during today's assessment.
His time for the 5km run this morning was 13 minutes and 34 seconds.
It's worth noting that, excluding the competition with 25 participants, his previous best time was 14 minutes and 29 seconds.
And for three kilometers, he improved by half a minute.
Based on normal data ratios, an improvement of about 35 to 45 seconds in 5 kilometers is a reasonable estimate.
The results of it?
13 minutes and 34 seconds!
It's 55 seconds faster than 14 minutes and 29 seconds!
What does this mean?
Based on the improvement of five kilometers, it can be calculated that three kilometers could be at least ten seconds faster.
After finishing his exam in the morning, Su Chen immediately wanted to go to the track to test himself and see how fast he could run now.
But I held back!
"Sometimes, accumulating it up and then suddenly bursting forth is quite exciting."
Su Chen convinced himself of this.
But he knew the real reason.
The effects of the Ice Skin Jade Marrow Pill are already beginning to show, and verifying its effectiveness over three kilometers is only a matter of time; there's no need to rush.
The results on the school's running track will be recorded in real time.
His frequent record-breaking performances easily attract attention.
It's better to make a name for yourself!
"Products from the system are indeed of the highest quality!"
Su Chen sighed inwardly, "If the pills at school were even a tenth as effective as these, I'd eat a ton of them."
"Let's flush it again, and try to open another acupoint before daytime!"
Su Chen refocused his attention and immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Currently, the skill being loaded is Mountain-Opening Fist.
But he wasn't sure which acupoint would be the first to appear this time.
Is it the second acupoint of the Mountain-Opening Fist? The first acupoint of the Overlord Body Technique? Or the ninth acupoint of the Shadowless Step?
It is possible!
........
The timer in the training room moved two ticks.
The night was deeper.
Su Chen's breathing, which had been steady at first, became slightly heavier.
It's not that I'm tired.
Something inside the body is changing!
The spiritual energy rising from the dantian was more surging in this round of circulation than ever before.
He didn't transfer the personnel on his own initiative.
It was the psionic energy itself accelerating, as if it sensed something and was converging in a certain direction.
Su Chen's consciousness immediately locked onto that direction: the torso!
There's a spot that's burning hot, located slightly above the center, roughly below the sternum and in the upper part of the abdomen.
A continuous, steady heat, like a burning fire.
That point slowly expanded inside his body, like a seed struggling to push out of the soil, trying to break through the earth.
Su Chen guided the spiritual energy within his body to that location.
The psionic energy surged forth like a tide.
Once, twice, three times.
The burning sensation intensified, turning from warm to scalding, and from scalding to a sharp, needle-like sting.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and didn't stop.
He recognized the location.
Dovetail hole!
The acupoints on the Ren meridian are located below the xiphoid process of the sternum and seven inches above the navel.
The Ren meridian is the sea of Yin meridians in the human body's meridian system, and it governs the flow of Qi and blood in all Yin meridians.
If the Ren meridian is blocked, spiritual energy is like water without roots; no matter how much one cultivates, it can only float on the surface.
Su Chen had previously opened up twelve meridians, all of which were the twelve primary meridians.
Neither of his Ren and Du meridians had been touched.
It's not because he doesn't work hard.
It's because the Ren and Du meridians are the most precious!
Opening the Ren meridian requires a comprehensive leap in the body's spiritual energy. It's not simply a matter of impacting a single acupoint, but a qualitative change in the entire system.
Su Chen took a deep breath and focused his consciousness on the Jiuwei acupoint.
The spiritual energy began to converge at that location, not just the spiritual energy from one meridian, but the spiritual energy from all the meridians in the body.
The remaining medicinal power of the Ice Skin Jade Marrow Pill was also activated, seeping out from every corner of the meridians and merging into that torrent of spiritual energy.
A shock!
The barrier of the Jiuwei acupoint trembled slightly.
Two times, three times, four times...
With each impact, that barrier thins.
Su Chen could sense the acupoints that had been discovered but not yet activated: those on his arms, legs, and back...
They were all trembling slightly at that moment.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Maybe a minute.
Maybe an hour.
until……
"Click—"
It was as if something inside the body had cracked open, making a crisp sound that only the soul could hear.
Then, a surge of scalding spiritual energy erupted from that point, like a flood bursting its banks, spreading downwards along the Ren meridian.
When I passed Zhongwan, the barrier of that acupoint suddenly trembled.
As Su Chen passed through the Qi Sea, he felt his dantian suddenly vibrate.
When it passed through Guanyuan, the spiritual energy finally found its home, sinking into the depths of the dantian, and then rising again to begin a new cycle.
Su Chen shuddered violently.
This feeling... is so amazing!
He closed his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy surging within his body.
We passed through the acupoints that had already been activated, and also through the acupoints that were still dormant.
Each passage carries away a trace of obstruction, leaving behind a warm imprint.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his body.
On the chest, slightly below the middle of the ribcage, there is a faint red dot on the skin that feels hot.
The twenty-first acupoint - Jiuwei (CV15)!
The first acupoint on the Ren meridian is open!
The thirteenth meridian – the Ren meridian – is open!
The Ren meridian has a total of 24 acupoints, and opening up the Ren meridian is not something that can be done overnight.
But the first step is always the hardest of all the steps; the rest is just a matter of patience and perseverance.
Su Chen took a deep breath and touched the panel with his consciousness.
【Overlord Body Technique lv1 (512/1000)】
I gained over a hundred experience points in one night!
He loosened his fist, which had been clenched tightly, and slowly opened his fingers one by one before clenching them again.
An unprecedented force came from my palm.
Su Chen leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.
"Phew~"
"Once the Ren meridian is opened, the Du meridian won't be far behind!"
"After both meridians are opened simultaneously, the speed at which acupoints open increases by at least 50%!"
Before his breakthrough, Su Chen's expectation for himself was: by the end of this semester, during the winter break, he would be lucky if both his Ren and Du meridians were fully opened!
Even after unlocking the cheat code, I only dared to think that I could finish it within one or two months.
After all, meridians are a matter of martial arts talent, predetermined by fate, and even using cheat codes won't speed up the process.
But now... the xiphoid process is open.
The first node of the Ren meridian is open!
The Ren meridian is also open!
"Is it the effect of a cheat code, or is it that I possess extraordinary talent after transmigrating?"
"That's a problem."
This is a case of being delusional due to cheating!
