Chapter 34: Meridian Opening, Dozens of Future Title Douluo

It was said there would be no more shock, huh?

Yang Wulong and the three felt as if they were dreaming, light and airy, feeling very unreal.

In the end, they didn't even know how they left the courtyard; they only knew that Yang Yun ordered them to gather those at Soul Saint rank or above, whose fire seeds had been nurtured for over five years.

After everyone had gathered, Yang Wulong and the three stood guard on one side.

Only then did they gradually come to their senses, murmuring: 'Second brother, third brother, did we just break through to Title Douluo like this?'

Yang Wuhu also found it hard to believe, his gaze vacant as he aimlessly scanned everyone in the courtyard; his mind had already wandered far away.

The calmest was Yang Wusha, his sharp eyes watching every movement around him.

'Elder brother, second brother; we are loyal to the Sect Master, and the Sect Master's treatment of us is beyond reproach—it's a mutual devotion; we can rest assured in receiving it.'

'Still, the third brother is the calmest; as the elder brother, I am inferior.' Yang Wulong said with feeling.

In the courtyard.

Under the fervent gazes of everyone, Yang Yun slowly raised his left hand, and everyone instantly fell silent, not a sound.

'I believe everyone wonders why I have summoned you all here; because the Breaking Heaven Sect has just been established, with tigers and wolves lurking outside the sect, the sect needs sufficient strong power to guard it.'

'I have a method that can upgrade the meridians; but only those who have nurtured their fire seeds for over five years and have resilient meridians can withstand it—you are the first batch to enjoy it, and I will personally upgrade your meridians.'

'Where are the three elders, Yang Wulong, Yang Wuhu, and Yang Wusha?'

Yang Wulong and the three arrived instantly before them.

'Sect Master!'

Yang Yun said solemnly: 'Watch well, learn well; in the future, within the sect, those who achieve merit for the sect and those with outstanding contributions can have their meridians upgraded, improving their physique and other benefits—this method is harmless, please take note.'

'If anyone from the sect inquires, it may be told, but it must not be leaked; otherwise, they will be treated as traitors to the sect.'

Upon hearing this, everyone shouted in unison: 'We will never leak it; please rest assured, Sect Master.'

Yang Yun nodded and gestured for the person standing in front to step forward one step.

In the courtyard, a bed had long been prepared; Yang Yun walked to the edge of the bed where the person lay and placed a single hand gently upon them.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians mainly consist of the Ren, Du, Chong, Dai, Yang Linking, Yin Linking, Yin Heel, and Yang Heel meridians; collectively they are called the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

On the Douluo Continent, many soul masters fail to open even one of these meridians in their lifetime; often, when absorbing a soul bone or facing immense soul power pressure, they may accidentally open one.

Such occurrences are extremely rare.

The Fallen Heart Flame Child Fire tempers the fire seed, strengthening bones and tendons and making the meridians resilient; ordinary soul masters whose soul power is not ample and whose meridians are not resilient cannot withstand the impact of meridian opening.

Not only will it not increase soul power, but it will cause internal injury, and soul power will not advance at all.

This is also why the soul masters that Yang Yun urgently summoned need at least Soul Saint cultivation, with their child fire and fire seeds nurtured for over five years.

While explaining the pathways and locations of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to Yang Wulong and the three, Yang Yun simultaneously guided his own soul power into the other's body as a soul master.

He drew the other's soul power to flow toward the Yang Heel meridian.

When encountering an obstruction, Yang Yun pointed out that this was the Yang Heel meridian; striking it with soul power to break through strengthens the physique and increases soul power storage.

Soon, the Yang Heel, Yin Heel, and Yin Linking meridians were successively broken through by Yang Yun's soul power impact; the person whose meridians were opened instantly felt a profound mystery, their body becoming light and resilient.

'Sect Master, I feel as if half of my inner soul power has diminished, yet my soul power rank has not dropped.'

Yang Yun waved his hand, signaling them to leave the position and let the next person step forward.

'Meridian opening enhances a soul master's physique, increases soul power storage, and offers other benefits; after meridian opening, later breakthroughs of bottlenecks will be easier—nothing more.'

'Do not attempt to raise cultivation through shortcuts and external forces; this is a heretical path; do not speak of it lightly.'

As he spoke, Yang Yun's gaze turned to Yang Wulong and the three, asking: 'Can you see clearly?' They looked at each other and all shook their heads.

'Sect Master, we have seen it clearly; but putting it into practice is another matter. Rather, let us ourselves attempt to impact the meridians to break through, so we can also take responsibility for the clan.'

Upon hearing this, Yang Yun nodded and praised: 'Not bad, not bad; Long Shu has considered everything thoroughly and also cherishes the clan; he is a model for everyone in the sect to learn from.'

Yang Wulong never expected to be praised so highly by Yang Yun, and instantly felt his mouth corners hard to suppress.

Their faces seemed about to glow.

Yang Wuhu and Yang Wusha exchanged a glance, both quietly covering their mouths to smirk; they dared not show it.

Yang Wulong pulled his two brothers to sit cross-legged and began attempting to impact their own meridians.

The remaining clansmen sat calmly in their places, quietly awaiting the next, everyone focusing intently on every step of Yang Yun's operation.

After a day and night passed, Yang Yun made a rough count; those who had nurtured their child fire for over five years and were Soul Saints had unknowingly broken through twenty.

Give the Breaking Heaven Sect a little more time, and possessing dozens of Title Douluo will be no dream.

Twenty-five Soul Masters, the remaining three Soul Masters stood silently before Yang Wulong and the three, awaiting their turn.

Yang Yun wiped the fine sweat from his forehead; assisting others with meridian opening is a delicate task requiring intense focus.

A moment's inattention and the other would be ruined.

After more than twenty in a row, even he felt somewhat mentally fatigued.

After Yang Wulong and the three opened their meridians up to the Dai meridian, they felt this bottleneck was extraordinarily resilient, so they gave up further impact.

Only after regaining consciousness did they notice their bodies had undergone an even more subtle change.

Their bodies, already transformed by soul bones, immortal herbs, and hundred‑thousand‑year whale gelatin, now seemed even more in tune with nature.

'The amount of stored soul power has indeed increased considerably.'

Yang Wulong and the three looked at the determined faces of the clansmen before them and suddenly felt somewhat amused.

Yang Poqiu, son of Yang Wulong; at this moment he stood before Yang Wusha.

Yang Po'ao, son of Yang Wusha; at this moment he stood before Yang Wuhu.

Yang Po'shi, son of Yang Wuhu; at this moment he stood before Yang Wulong.

Each felt a mixture of disbelief in their own fathers yet trust in their uncles' paternal kindness—a beautiful, broken smile.

Yang Yun, who was resting, suppressed a laugh and waved his large hand, saying: 'All right, Long Shu, Hu Shu, Sha Shu—let's begin.'

Just then, Yang Po'xue rushed in from outside.

"Sect Master, I've broken through to Soul Saint; I can also come over and join everyone now, hehehe." Yang Posue laughed like the landlord's second fool.

Yang Posue, granddaughter of the former Grand Elder and the current Second Elder.

She is eight years older than Yang Yun, secretly joined Yang Yun's forces early on; now she is a twenty-six-year-old Soul Saint.

Watching Yang Posue rush in anxiously, Yang Yun smiled helplessly and patted the empty bed.

"Senior Sister Posue, please."

Yang Posue's originally eager expression suddenly stiffened, uncertainly asking: "No, Sect Master; here. How is there a bed? What is it for? Why do I have to lie on it?"

Yang Wulong's three men immediately pressed Yang Posiu's three men to the ground and began a demonstration.

Seeing this, Yang Posue's mouth twitched.
