Opening the Meridians, Successfully Breaking Through to the 1st Grade Realm!
Chapter 32 Opening the Meridians, Successfully Breaking Through to the First Grade Realm!
Chen Fan summoned Xiao Bai as well, and played with Xiao Bai and Emerald for a while. Then, a rumbling sound came from afar.
He walked out of the dormitory, stood in the corridor, and looked down...
Then Li Sheng rode a large alpaca, galloping towards them with sparks and lightning in his wake!
The teachers and students nearby were choked by the dust and coughed, and were so angry that they cursed loudly.
Li Sheng pretended not to hear, but the alpaca had never been treated like this before. It spat out a bunch of saliva, which made the teachers and students on the road scream and yell.
"Teacher Li's mythical beast... is truly unique."
Chen Fan, standing at the edge of the corridor, was speechless.
Before long, Li Sheng rushed up to the third floor and stood in front of Chen Fan.
After glancing silently at the "hat" on Chen Fan's head, he grabbed Chen Fan's arm, then rubbed Chen Fan's back, and then pinched Chen Fan's thigh...
Chen Fan frowned: "Teacher, I suspect you're taking advantage of me... Please don't do this. I only like women, and there's absolutely no way we can be together."
Li Sheng straightened up, staring wide-eyed at Chen Fan: "This doesn't make sense!"
Chen Fan: "I'm a man, I like women, how is that not scientifically sound?"
"Don't give me that nonsense!" Li Sheng said, squinting. "I'm saying your star power is ridiculously strong..."
"You haven't learned how to cultivate yet; your power comes entirely from the support of your two tamed beasts, right?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Yes."
Li Sheng frowned: "You have two beast tamers, the Ragdoll Cat is level 3 and the Slime is level 2, right?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Yes."
Li Sheng spread his hands: "Normally speaking, a low-level awakened level 3 beast tamer's true star power is not much different from that of a first-grade beast tamer or star warrior."
"The star power of a level 2 slime is far inferior to that of a level 3 ragdoll cat."
"Simply put, unless your level 3 Ragdoll cat and level 2 slime give you all their power, you shouldn't have such formidable strength!"
"Teacher, what you said makes a lot of sense." Chen Fan blinked. "But I'm even more confused now."
If Li Sheng didn't understand, then he understood even less.
But his power truly comes from the support and gratitude he receives from Xiaobai and Feicui.
Before Xiaobai and Emerald gave him Star Power, he didn't have any Star Power at all.
Could it be because of the system?
Seeing that Li Sheng was eager to continue the research, Chen Fan hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Teacher, I called you here because my star power may have reached a critical point, and I need to break through to the first-grade realm as soon as possible. So I want you to help me get a cultivation technique in advance."
"There's no need to study why my power is so strong now."
"When it comes to strength, the stronger the better, of course."
"I possess extraordinary talent, and my beast-taming skills are also exceptional. Isn't that perfectly normal?"
"You're right." Li Shengqian coughed. "Come on, let's go inside. I'll contact the head of teaching now and ask him to send you the cultivation manual ahead of schedule."
……
After a hysterical argument with the head of the teaching department on the phone, Li Sheng actually obtained the authorization.
He logged into the War God Academy's intranet, found the cultivation technique specifically available for Chen Fan, had Chen Fan verify his identity with his face, and then downloaded it to his smartwatch.
Chen Fan calmed down and began to carefully read the cultivation technique.
"The eight meridians connect to the nine orifices, the nine orifices determine the ten directions, the ten directions converge at the spiritual platform, and the spiritual platform ascends to the heavenly gate."
"The Heavenly Gate allows passage through life and death; life and death lead to reincarnation; reincarnation leads to heaven; and heaven forges legends!"
"The cultivation realms of Star Warriors and Beast Tamers are the same, and they are divided into nine ranks. The first rank opens the eight meridians, the second rank opens the nine orifices, the third rank settles the ten directions, the fourth rank gathers the spirit platform... Each rank is further divided into five heavens."
"To break through to the First Grade Realm, one must open eight main meridians and at least seventy-two branch meridians!"
"There are eight main meridians in the human body, running through the entire body. Countless branch meridians rely on these eight main meridians."
"Finding the eight meridians and opening them one by one to build a foundation is an essential path for Beast Tamers and Star Warriors to cultivate, and it is also a foundation-building method that has been recognized after countless predecessors have explored it."
"Therefore, the Eight Meridians are also called the Ancestral Meridians, and the First Grade Realm is also called the 'Eight Meridians Realm'."
"A first-grade Beast Tamer or Star Warrior can shatter rock walls with their bare hands, tear tigers and leopards apart, draw a bow weighing a thousand pounds, and gallop like a horse!"
After Li Sheng and Chen Fan memorized the technique, they began to explain it carefully, one sentence at a time, with their hands behind their backs.
"Unite our hearts and minds to build a solid foundation; use the I Ching to cleanse our marrow and open our meridians!"
Since the cataclysmic changes that occurred more than two thousand years ago, this world has been filled with endless stellar energy.
These stellar energies are difficult for ordinary people to see or perceive, but they truly exist.
Monsters can absorb star power to grow stronger, and Beastmasters and Star Warriors can also absorb star power to grow rapidly.
The first step in a Beast Tamer's training is to draw the formless yet omnipresent stellar energy into their body after opening the Beast Taming Space.
Star power is not only extremely powerful in itself, but it can also temper the meridians and bones of beast tamers or star warriors, helping them to undergo a complete transformation.
Under Li Sheng's guidance, Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to practice his internal energy cultivation technique.
The abundant stellar energy surrounding him immediately began to converge towards him.
A startling vortex formed around Chen Fan and began to spin rapidly.
He continuously absorbed the surging star power, which then merged into his body!
More than half an hour later...
The starlight surrounding Chen Fan grew even more abundant.
Li Sheng nodded in satisfaction: "When I opened my first main meridian, it took me more than three hours and I took a Meridian Opening Pill, so don't rush. Take your time. It's okay if you fail the first time..."
"Bang!"
Chen Fan's body was bursting with energy.
A circular, shield-like phantom appeared.
On that phantom, one can still vaguely see many strange runes that look like tadpoles swimming around!
This is the first main meridian gate!
The first main channel has been successfully opened!
Li Sheng: "..."
After a while, Li Sheng nodded: "As expected of my student, Li Sheng, the speed at which you opened your meridians is truly extraordinary."
"But you must remember to avoid arrogance and impatience, and proceed step by step..."
"Bang!"
Another burst of energy.
The second pulse point has appeared!
Li Sheng rubbed his eyes hard: "..."
You read that right, it really is the second pulse point!
What happened...?
Opening the meridians is so difficult, why is this kid doing it like drinking plain water?
So sad...
This kid's talent is just too damn discouraging.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
As Li Sheng watched the projections of meridians appear all over Chen Fan's body, he felt a little numb.
……
Time passed little by little.
From morning to night.
Li Sheng has taken Emerald and Little White out for three meals, while Chen Fan is still cultivating.
After successfully opening the eight main meridians, Chen Fan had already opened one hundred and twenty-five branch meridians in that afternoon.
An ordinary beast tamer can begin to attempt to break through to the first rank once they have opened seventy-two meridians.
But Chen Fan opened up 125 articles in one go!
The next step is to forge the Star Sea.
Only when the Star Sea is successfully forged can the Star Power have a home and can one be considered to have broken through to the First Grade Realm!
More and more of the primordial energy of heaven and earth was absorbed by Chen Fan.
The stellar energy within Chen Fan's body transformed from a great river into a stream, and then began to transform back into a great river.
This "great river" flowed according to the school's cultivation techniques, circulating through the meridians and forming a mysterious "spiritual array diagram" within Chen Fan's body.
Under the coordination of this spirit array diagram, the star power within Chen Fan's body was completely unblocked, surging and surging!
Chen Fan, who had become somewhat weak due to the opening of his meridians, felt completely refreshed and full of energy.
Those meridians, nourished by the star power, also became more resilient.
Each meridian is constantly being expanded, transforming from a stream into a great river.
At this moment, Chen Fan felt as if his whole body was filled with boundless power, enough to uproot trees and shake mountains!
He is now...
Its strength is many times greater than before, and it is as light as a swallow floating in the clouds;
Many enclosed entrances have been opened, allowing visitors to freely explore a wondrous world.
This feeling is indescribable!
After the star power circulated for another five cycles according to the mental technique...
"Boom!"
The sound of the flood surging within Chen Fan's body grew louder and louder.
Like great rivers, they converged towards Chen Fan's dantian.
Rivers flow eternally, and all streams eventually flow into the sea!
"boom!"
A vortex no bigger than an egg suddenly formed!
Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes: "First-grade realm, Star Sea achieved!"
As soon as the Star Sea opened, Chen Fan's muscles and bones resonated, and his strength surged!
A violent force emanated from his body, causing the surrounding spiritual energy in the dormitory to surge into a whirlwind.
At this moment, Chen Fan felt an urge to roar to the sky!
Li Sheng sat on the sofa, dumbfounded!
