17: Chapter 17 Blazing Sun Technique, Opening the Sixth Level of Meridians!

That evening, Lin Feng received his first "Newbie Package" as an Iron Medal Demon Slayer.

A brand-new set of black tight-fitting martial attire, three "Qi Gathering Pills" for cultivation, and two Secret Manuals exuding a faint scent of ink.

One was the Demon Suppression Division's basic Mind-Cultivation Technique — "Blazing Sun Art".

The other was the accompanying blade technique — "Seven Kill Blade Technique".

"Blazing Sun Art", taking its meaning from the blazing sun, generates True Qi that is extremely rigid and Yang-aligned, possessing a natural restraining effect against demons, monsters, and ghosts.

Its cultivation difficulty and level of sophistication are far beyond common trash like the "Qi Guidance Art".

This Cultivation Technique is sufficient to support a Martial Artist from the Body Tempering Realm all the way to the Perfection of the Meridian Opening Realm!

And the "Seven Kill Blade Technique" is a widely circulated, highly lethal saber art within the Demon Suppression Division.

It consists of seven forms, each more domineering and sharper than the last; when the blade is drawn, Evil Qi follows, causing even ghosts and gods to retreat.

For the current Lin Feng, this is akin to sweet rain after a long drought.

"It's finally here."

Returning to his room and closing the doors and windows, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, excitement flashing in his eyes.

He glanced at his System panel.

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Realm: Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer]

[Cultivation Technique: "Qi Guidance Art" (Perfection)]

[Martial Skill: "Basic Constable Saber Technique" (Perfection)]

[Movement Technique: "Wind-Following Steps" (Perfection)]

[Critical Hit Multiplier: 15-fold]

[critical hit points: 4,990]

Wiping out the Black Tiger Gang and the Moon-Worshipping Cult stronghold allowed him to accumulate a massive amount of critical hit points.

Now, it is time to convert these accumulations into real strength!

"System!"

Lin Feng silently chanted in his heart, "First, use critical hit points to learn the 'Seven Kill Blade Technique'!"

[Ding! Consumed 500 critical hit points, "Seven Kill Blade Technique" critical hit successful!]

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, a massive and bloody aura of slaughter instantly rushed into Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness!

It was as if an unparalleled blade master, who had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was demonstrating those domineering and peerless seven forms of the blade technique in his mind.

Every single move and form was filled with pure, ultimate beauty born for slaughter. All techniques, methods of exerting force, and methods of utilizing Evil Qi were, in an instant, mastered by Lin Feng and carved into his bones!

"Seven Kill Blade Technique", Initial Learning!

"Such a domineering blade technique; just for the initial learning, it required 500 critical hit points. It really cannot be compared to trash like the 'Basic Constable Saber Technique'!"

Sharp light erupted from Lin Feng's eyes.

If he were to face the combined forces of Zhao Tie and Li Rui again, he wouldn't need to use "Wind-Following Steps" to launch a sneak attack.

With just this newly learned "Seven Kill Blade Technique" and a 15-fold critical hit, he could easily defeat them!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Feng cast his gaze toward the "Blazing Sun Art".

Cultivation base is the cornerstone of everything; without a strong foundation, even if a Martial Skill is practiced to Perfection, it cannot exert the intended effect.

Therefore, he decided to use all the remaining critical hit points on the "Blazing Sun Art".

[Ding! Consumed 4,490 critical hit points, "Blazing Sun Art" critical hit successful!]

Rumble!

The commotion this time was more terrifying than any previous one!

With Lin Feng's room as the center, a visible vortex of Spiritual Qi emitting a faint golden light formed. The Spiritual Qi above the entire Qingyang County seemed to have received some kind of summons, frantically pouring toward him!

In another guest room of the county government office, Chu Mengxi, who was meditating and adjusting her breathing, suddenly opened her eyes.

"This... what is this...?"

She felt that massive and pure fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, her face full of disbelief.

"Such a domineering absorption speed of Spiritual Qi! Someone is breaking through! And it's... a Breakthrough of a major Realm! Is it that Lin Feng?!"

Her figure flashed, appearing in the courtyard, looking far toward the direction of Lin Feng's room, the shock in her beautiful eyes beyond measure.

At this moment, Lin Feng, who was at the center of the storm, was experiencing a rebirth.

Between the Body Tempering Realm and the Meridian Opening Realm, there lies a huge barrier called the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth".

Ordinary Martial Artists need to spend years of time, using painstaking effort to chip away at it little by little, before they might have a chance to luckily break through.

But for Lin Feng, this barrier, under the blessing of the System, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper!

"Break... for me!"

With a thought from Lin Feng, that massive torrent of Spiritual Qi transformed into a giant hammer capable of splitting the heavens, slamming fiercely onto that invisible barrier!

Crack!

A crisp sound that seemed to come from the depths of his Soul!

The Bridge of Heaven and Earth was shattered and opened!

Endless Spiritual Qi instantly found an outlet, following a profound route, began to run crazily within his body, and finally converged into his Dantian, condensing into the first wisp — True Qi!

This wisp of True Qi appeared faintly golden, filled with an extremely rigid and Yang-aligned explosive aura!

Meridian Opening Realm First Layer, achieved!

However, this was just the beginning!

Lin Feng's cultivation base, as if it had boarded a rocket, began to soar frantically upward!

Meridian Opening Realm Second Layer!

Meridian Opening Realm Third Layer!

The massive True Qi opened up one wide Meridian after another within his body, like rushing great rivers; every circulation brought endless power!

His body, under the tempering of the "Blazing Sun Art", also became increasingly formidable, and a faint layer of precious light even appeared on the surface of his skin!

Meridian Opening Realm Fourth Layer!

Meridian Opening Realm Fifth Layer!

Meridian Opening Realm Sixth Layer!

When the last bit of critical hit points was exhausted, the True Qi in Lin Feng's body had reached an inconceivable level of vigor; the twelve regular Meridians and the eight extraordinary Meridians were almost all opened up by him!

The most crucial Ren and Du Meridians were also only one step away!

"Hoo..."

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, two golden rays of sharp light erupted from his eyes, shooting directly through the opposite wall, creating two fist-sized holes!

Feeling that unprecedented, surging, and vast power within his body, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up wildly.

"Is this... the strength of the Meridian Opening Realm Sixth Layer?"

He had a feeling that the current him could easily kill one hundred of the him from before the Breakthrough!

And all of this happened in less than an hour since he received the Cultivation Technique!

Just at this moment, Chu Mengxi's voice, carrying a hint of urgency and shock, came from outside the courtyard.

"Lin Feng, did you break through?"

She ultimately couldn't hold back and rushed over.

That massive fluctuation of Spiritual Qi just now had far exceeded her cognitive range; she even thought that Lin Feng had gone astray in his cultivation and was about to fall into Qi Deviation.

Lin Feng restrained his aura and opened the door.

Chu Mengxi saw that Lin Feng was safe and sound, and first breathed a sigh of relief. Following that, when her gaze touched Lin Feng's body, those Phoenix eyes instantly widened into circles!

"Pulse... Meridian Opening Realm Sixth Layer?!"

She exclaimed, her voice trembling.

How is this possible?!

An hour ago, he was clearly at the Body Tempering Realm!

An hour later, he actually... actually soared directly to the Meridian Opening Realm Sixth Layer?!

This is no longer a Genius.

This is a monster!

A Prodigy!
