Chapter 15

"Extra! Extra! Lu Xun and Lin Yan are competing with each other, simultaneously attacking the Heaven Earth Meridian."

"I heard they both like the school belle Chu Youqing, but Chu Youqing chose Lu Xun, and on top of that Lin Yan lost to Lu Xun a few days ago, so he came to school to attack the Heaven Earth Meridian, hoping to turn the tide, little knowing Lu Xun had also started."

"Wow, our No. 1 High is this lively this year? I don't know who will succeed."

"At Rong Cheng No. 1 High, the news that Lu Xun was attacking the Heaven Earth Meridian spread far and wide."

"Not only did it spread, but also a version spread of two geniuses vying for love, competing with each other."

"Now then,"

"Those students burying themselves in the cultivation room to open meridians could no longer sit still."

"They all ran out to watch the excitement."

"The place where Lu Xun and Lin Yan are located is actually not far."

"Lin Yan is on the biggest playground."

"Lu Xun, meanwhile, is in the small grove beside the playground."

"As the students surged forward, whether it was the playground or the small grove, they were surrounded so tightly that not even water could leak through."

"\"Everyone, don't push, make way for the principal. \""

"The principal has arrived."

"\"After all, they're young people, full of youthful vigor, they want to win or lose in everything. \""

"\"This is fine; if everyone just muddled through like us, how could the world progress? \""

"\"Hahaha, youth is still good, youth is a treasure. \""

"\"Our No. 1 High has so much talent this year! \""

"The principal and many teachers all wore warm, aunt-like smiles, watching this scene with great relief."

"\"I'll compete for a der! \""

"Lu Xun discovered."

"He found himself unable to get off the stage."

"He really wanted to shout 'Injustice!'"

"Lu Xun really had no intention of competing with Lin Yan to see who's better."

"As the destined protagonist with a golden finger, he just needed to kick back and lie low each day; moreover, Chu Youqing was already his girlfriend."

"What's there to compete over, what's there to be jealous about?"

"Is it worth it?"

"It's purely because Murong Wan chose today to open her meridians, just a coincidence."

"But these reasons, Lu Xun could never tell anyone."

"\"With such a powerful Linglong Treasure Body, she's already opened eight meridians in a row; she should choose to break through the Linglong Meridian in one go. \""

"Lu Xun thought it over and let his heart settle."

"\"Just you? You also want to compete with me!!! \""

"On the other side, Lin Yan also received the news."

"Upon learning that Lu Xun was also attacking the Heaven Earth Meridian, Lin Yan gulped down several units of solar essence in one breath."

"\"Young master, take it easy. \""

"\"Take it easy, take it easy, what a load of crap; if I don't succeed today, I'll become benevolent. \""

"Lin Yan decided to go all out; he couldn't let Lu Xun surpass him."

"In order to open the Scarlet Yang Meridian, his family mobilized over a hundred million in funds, purchasing vast amounts of heavenly treasures and earthly riches for him."

"What does Lu Xun have?"

"How could the accumulated wealth of his family over several generations lose to Lu Xun, a lowly social strata who only knows hard study?"

"\"Haha, no wonder I'm Murong Zhan's daughter; in less than two hours she opened eight meridians in a row—this record should rank in the top ten, right? \""

"On the other side,"

"In the Murong family's estate, Murong Zhan laughed heartily."

"Although opening meridians happens inside the body, as a Fourth Realm Grandmaster, Murong Zhan could naturally see that Murong Wan had opened eight meridians in a row."

"\"Grandfather, the young aunt hasn't come down yet; is she preparing to open the Heaven Earth Meridian? \""

"One of Murong Zhan's granddaughters asked curiously."

"\"Well, the Linglong Treasure Body can open the Linglong Meridian; the Linglong Meridian is not an ordinary Heaven Earth Meridian; among all Heaven Earth Meridians, it can also be considered the strongest of the first class. \""

"Murong Zhan said, not without pride."

"Heaven Earth Meridians also come in three-six-nine grades."

"The gap between different Heaven Earth Meridians is no less than that between one meridian and eight meridians."

"Specifically, the quality can be roughly judged from the scale of the heavenly-earthly phenomena they provoke."

"\"Wow, then later we can see heavenly-earthly phenomena again. \""

"The Murong family people began to anticipate."

"\"Having opened eight meridians in a row, and now wanting to open the Heaven Earth Meridian in one go... we definitely cannot let her grow up. \""

"In the rear of the crowd, Murong Tian's eyes flickered."

"He didn't make any move."

"Murong Zhan is here; what can he do?"

"The timing hasn't arrived."

"He wants to wait for Lan Xing to re-enter the Ancient Starry Path; then, Lan Xing's situation will boil over like pouring a bowl of water into a sizzling oil pan."

"Only then will there be an opportunity."

It's almost noon; I don't know if young master Lin will succeed today.

Having money is great; ordinary people attempting the Heaven Earth Meridian suffer greatly if they fail once, but young master Lin has it easy, consuming spirit pills and wonderful medicines as if they were free.

There's nothing to be done; who made life's biggest turning point the amniotic fluid?

At Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School, the number of onlooking students keeps growing.

Around the sports field, the windows and rooftops of the surrounding buildings are packed with heads.

Noon is approaching.

Two suns hang high above, emitting light of extreme fierceness.

Sunlight gathered by the focuser makes Lin Yan's skin turn utterly red.

If he were poor, his clothes would already have been burned to ashes by now.

Lin Yan's clothes are unscathed, obviously a treasure garment that can withstand high temperatures.

Open it for me!

When the two suns reach zenith, solar power reaches its peak.

Relying on the medicinal potency of the treasure pill he swallowed, Lin Yan launches his final assault on the Scarlet Yang Meridian.

Hum!

He bursts open the Scarlet Yang Meridian in one go.

Immediately after,

Above Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School, flames roll and crimson clouds fill the sky; amidst the scarlet flames and crimson clouds, a third Scarlet Yang actually appears.

Wow, a phenomenon!

Blazing flames, crimson clouds, and Scarlet Yang emerge... this is the phenomenon of the Scarlet Yang Meridian opening!

Young master Lin has broken through the Heaven Earth Meridian!

Instantly, the entire Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School is filled with startled cries.

After the students watching Lu Xun in the grove got the news, they all rushed to the sports field, with only a few remaining in the grove.

Lu Xun, young master Lin succeeded—what about your Heaven Earth Meridian?

Still, young master Lin is superior by a notch!

Shut up, you bastard! Want a beating?

Lin Yan's lackeys jeered, but Li Bu Fan's loud shout silenced them.

Lu Xun lifted his head and glanced at the sky.

Is this also called a phenomenon?

Lu Xun scoffed.

This phenomenon's range is too small; it's not as big as the phenomenon caused by the genius from No. 2 Middle School a few days ago.
