“Phew–Phew–Phew–”
Yi Yun’s breaths became more and more heavy. Every breath would muster up his body, his body was like a boat being roughed up by the waves.
As his body moved up and down, the energy in Yi Yun’s body began to condense.
His tendons began to emit twang-like sounds, while his skin was like blown up leather. His bones emitted popping sounds.
When this accumulated to its extremes, Yi Yun felt his body about to explode. He controlled his energy and sent the heat flow towards his Dan Tian, wave after wave, as if they were crashing on the rocks!
Yi Yun slowly began to approach his limit. When the small vessels on the surface of his body was about to burst, he heard a “boom”. With Yi Yun in the center, energy exploded out. The rock Yi Yun was sitting on cracked, and the trees in a five-meter radius broke!
Yi Yun felt his body go limp. His nostrils, ears were all bleeding. But this wasn’t fresh blood but black blood. Including Yi Yun’s pores, a greyish sweat pulp oozed out.
It’s done.
Fourth level of Mortal Blood–Meridians!
Yi Yun knew that he had finally opened up his meridians, and had become equal to a hero from a wuxia novel.
When Yi Yun read novels in his youth, he had often dreamed of becoming a handsome gallant, walking up walls, upholding justice and settling grievances.
As for today, he had finally obtained that power.
However, in this strange world, the energy was much richer than on Earth. Opening up the Ren Du Er Mai on Earth would make one a peerless master, but that would be because Earth did not have the “Heaven Earth Yuan Qi”.
But in this world, not only was there Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, there was also Power of Desolates, psychic powers and other mysterious energies Yi Yun was still unable to understand. These energies were as powerful as the nuclear powers on Earth.
These energies could be used by himself, so the fourth stage of Mortal Blood, Meridians was just infant steps on the path of martial arts.
Yi Yun leaped up from the ground. He could clearly see and feel his surroundings. He knew everything that occurred within a ten-foot radius, every rustle of the leaves and every squirm of a worm was heard loud and clear.
He could count the number of leaves that had dropped in front of him with a glance. There were thirty-two leaves!
With a clear awareness and a sharp mind, many martial artist experts had an eidetic memory. This was a result of their meridians opening up resulting in an improvement of their brain’s capabilities!
After all, the Ren Du Er Mai cycles through the brain, with the energy passing through the brain, it improves a person’s memory and reactions.
“It feels awesome. So awesome!”
Having undergone a body transformation, Yi Yun was extremely delighted. He had perfectly broken through into the fourth level of Mortal Blood’s Meridians. Not only that, he had experienced another round of Marrow Cleansing.
Mortals eat all sorts of grains causing their bodies to be filled with impurities. Before reaching the Purple Blood realm, it was a necessity to undergo a round of Marrow Cleansing.
The more thorough a Marrow Cleansing was, the better it was. Yi Yun having gone through it twice, had less dirt than the previous time.
Yi Yun undressed himself and jumped into the plunge basin for a bath. He dived dozens of meters deep, and held his breath underwater for about twenty minutes before swimming back up.
“Puah!”
Yi Yun emerged out of the water like a giant carp, creating an explosion of water droplets!
He was buck naked. Without any change of clothes, Yi Yun wore his old damp clothes.
This set of clothes was soaked with water. It stuck to Yi Yun’s body, clearly outlining the firm curves of his body.
After days of arduous practice, Yi Yun’s muscles had grown firmer, and his body shape was getting better by the day. He had also grown taller, becoming a handsome young lad.
Yi Yun gave off a brand new aura after breaking into the Meridians realm.
He stood on a large rock, with his body like a sheathed sword. He had an overpowering presence. Under the soft moonlight, it illuminated Yi Yun’s delicate skin, making it shimmer like mercury.
Such a young lad no longer looked like a poor kid who had nothing to eat.
Although he was like an uncarved sculpture, he was like a diamond in the rough. The clothes he wore could only be described as “rags”, but it could not conceal his shimmering aura.
