Chapter 13: Opening the Meridians

【Murong Wan broke through Body Tempering Twelfth Stage, the host gained ten times Murong Wan's Body Tempering harvest.】

The next day, Murong Wan rose to Body Tempering Twelfth Stage.

"Indeed."

Lu Xun had guessed it would be like this.

He therefore came to Body Tempering Twenty-fourth Stage.

"There are still six days... older sister, hurry up and open the meridians."

Now Lu Xun only hopes Murong Wan won't rush upward any further.

Body Tempering Twelfth Stage is enough.

Early body tempering mainly aimed to strengthen the physique, making opening the meridians easier and improving the effect of opening the meridians.

After opening the meridians, in the martial artist's continual training process, they also gain the effect of body tempering as a side benefit.

Like a Four Realms Master, their bodily strength far surpasses what Lu Xun's Body Tempering Twenty-fourth Stage can match.

"Wow, someone from No. 2 Middle School has opened a Heaven Earth Meridian!"

That afternoon, Rong Cheng's skies again showed a Heaven Earth Phenomenon.

Rong Cheng No. 2 Middle School, someone opened a Heaven Earth Meridian, triggering the phenomenon.

The phenomenon's range wasn't large, merely appearing briefly around Rong Cheng No. 2 Middle School.

Compared to Murong Wan's phenomenon, it's far inferior, but it's still a phenomenon, enough to make countless people envious.

"Lu Xun, as long as you can open a Heaven Earth Meridian, tell me whatever you need."

The Principal couldn't sit still, and found Lu Xun.

Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School's grades have always been better than No. 2 Middle School's.

Now No. 2 Middle School has produced a student who opened a Heaven Earth Meridian, directly suppressing the limelight of No. 1 Middle School.

"Principal, I'll do my best."

Lu Xun didn't want anything.

To put Principal An at ease, he expressed that he would definitely strive.

The Principal left satisfied.

Unaware, Lu Xun turned around and began to slack off.

"Just a Heaven Earth Meridian, I, Lin Yan, can obtain it easily!"

"Young Master Lin V5!"

"Our No. 1 Middle School's pride depends on you to win it back."

That night, Lin Yan boasted loudly in the school group, attracting many students' flattery.

He had already opened the Eighth Meridian, connecting all meridians into one, preparing to assault the Scarlet Yang Meridian.

The next day,

What no one expected was that Lin Yan ran to the school to publicly assault the Scarlet Yang Meridian.

The Lin family also erected a high platform for Lin Yan to sit on.

Many spectators gathered.

Of course, many students were busy opening meridians and had no time to watch the spectacle.

"This guy is really a show-off."

Li Buffan complained briefly, then slipped into the training chamber.

He still had the last meridian unopened.

As for Lu Xun, he also went to the field to take a look at the excitement.

After Lin Yan noticed Lu Xun, he became even more enthusiastic.

"Le Butler, give me Sun Essence."

"All right, Young Master."

A middle-aged person resembling a butler handed over a small piece of Sun Essence.

This was formed by artificially gathering the essence of the sun and condensing it.

Here, 'sun' no longer refers to the solar system's sun, but generally means all stars.

Since Lan Xing's elevation began, the current Lan Xing is who knows how many light-years away from the solar system.

Lin Yan absorbed the Sun Essence, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the high platform.

On the surrounding buildings, eight condensers gathered sunlight from all directions onto Lin Yan.

Such intense concentration caused Lin Yan's body to start smoking.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scorched long ago.

Lin Yan, however, was fine.

He used sunlight to digest the Sun Essence, so he could burst open the Scarlet Yang Meridian in one go.

"Come again tomorrow!"

On the first day, Lin Yan failed to open the meridians; after noon passed, he stopped and decided to try again tomorrow.

The Scarlet Yang Meridian is easiest to burst open at noon.

Moreover, the current Lan Xing in this Gemini Star System has solar power far exceeding other star systems, greatly promoting the opening of the Scarlet Yang Meridian, Blazing Heaven Martial Meridian, and similar martial meridians.

The next day, Lin Yan continued trying.

"Damn it!"

He still failed.

Two times already.

He failed twice; the harm to his body is not small, right?

Young Master Lin is truly tenacious; he still hasn't given up, and even with money he works this hard—no wonder he's so strong.

The students' admiration gives Lin Yan a strong sense of achievement.

He took the Returning Spring Pill he had bought at a high price, and it healed his bodily injuries.

Come again tomorrow!

I can fail countless times; as long as I succeed once, I can become a true genius!

Lin Yan repeatedly fails and keeps fighting.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Rong Cheng.

The Murong family's manor is extremely lively.

Aside from outsiders, almost the entire Murong family has come.

Because Murong Wan is set to open her meridians today.

Little sister truly is a heaven-defying genius; in just half a month she has reached the twelfth level of Body Tempering. I don't know how many meridians she can open at once this time.

In my view, little sister will surely be able to pierce all her martial meridians at once, and even open the Heaven Earth Meridian.

With Aunt being this capable, she can definitely do it.

Many members of the Murong family gathered together, their faces filled with smiles.

Murong Wan possesses the top-tier Linglong Treasure Body; her rise is therefore inevitable.

When that happens, the Murong family will also share in the glory, thus rising to an even higher level.

Some are happy, some are worried.

For example, the people of Murong Zhan's second brother's lineage.

Big Brother Tian, what should we do? I've returned the items, but Wang Yuanjie refuses to accept them and insists on demanding a person from us; he even threatens to tell our scheme to the elder uncle.

Murong Tian's younger brother, Murong Chui, frowns with a worried expression.

Earlier, they colluded with the scoundrels of the Wang clan, using Murong Wan in exchange for the Wang clan's support.

In this way they sought an opportunity to complete the usurpation and gain control of the entire Murong family.

Who would have thought that Murong Wan would suddenly become a peerless genius who shocked the East?

All their previous tricks are now useless.

Murong Tian then had his younger brother return the worthless items to those people.

But the scoundrel refused to accept them and even threatened to expose them.

What exactly does Wang Yuanjie want?

He says that even if he can't marry Murong Wan, he should at least be allowed to play with her for two days. Big Brother Tian, he's a pervert—no woman who has been played with by him comes out unscathed.

Let him wait a bit; Lan Xing has been parked here for several years and should re-enter the Ancient Starry Road. Then perhaps there will be an opportunity...

A flicker of coldness flashed in Murong Tian's eyes.

Even if Murong Wan defies heaven again, what does it have to do with their lineage?

On the contrary, if Murong Wan rises, their lineage will never have a chance to stand out.

If they could use Wang Yuanjie to destroy Murong Wan, it would actually be to their advantage.

Okay, Big Brother Tian! I'll send him a message right away.

You go say it yourself, to avoid leaking the secret.

Okay.

Murong Chui left.

Peerless genius... hum, a genius who never grows is merely a shooting star that dies young, a fleeting brilliance.

After the cold snort, Murong Tian restrained his expression, put on a smile, and re-entered the manor.

It's started, it's started.

Auntie, you're so beautiful~

At this moment, inside the manor, Murong Wan inhaled a large amount of Dark Energy all at once.

She used the simplest method to open her meridians, swallowing the Dark Energy like a whale; her aura instantly became deep and mysterious.

Just a few minutes later, the air around Murong Wan trembled slightly; an invisible wave spread from within her, the surrounding air seeming to be pulled by an invisible force, forming faint ripples.

Inside her body, the first martial meridian was successfully cleared.

Good!

Murong Zhan shouted his approval in a loud voice.

It's opened, it's opened!

How fast!

Auntie is truly amazing!

The other members of the Murong family cheered without cease.
