Chapter 12 . 1: Five Meridians

“Done!”

Yunxiao was overjoyed, but he did not stand up . Instead, he made a few hand seals and continued to guide the medicinal energy to condense into the pulse in front of his chest .

Opening the meridian wheel, the next step would be to open the first meridian!

Ordinary people would go from top to bottom, however, Yunxiao did not follow common conventional sense and directly attacked the heart wheel meridian which was the most difficult . A dark green light began to condense in his heart, and it became more and more resplendent like a flower bud was blooming .

He suddenly opened his eyes and a sharp light flashed through his pupils . A strange posture suddenly appeared in his mind and Yunxiao had a flash of inspiration as he shouted in a deep voice, “Tyrant’s Heaven Refining Technique’s Second Move—Mountain Art!”

He clasped his hands together and sank into the water like a mountain . The boiling liquid in the surroundings seemed to be attracted by some sort of force as it started to revolve around his body like a river of stars . The heart wheel meridian in front of his chest became the eyes of a whirlpool, and streams of power were poured into it .

“Ha! Open them all for me! ”

The radiance on the heart wheel meridian instantly blossomed, and the two streams of light rushed up and down his body . Very quickly, under the impact of the heart wheel meridian’s power, all his other meridian wheel all lit up with different colors of radiance .

Just as Yunxiao wanted to absorb the power of the medicine to break through the last two meridians, the power his body could endure had already reached its peak! Thirteen Five-Colored Divine Air Needles shot out from his meridians in a flash . The balance of his body was broken as a huge force exploded in the barrel!

In the instant that the powder exploded, it evaporated into mist . The entire training room seemed as if it had been washed away by water and was now completely wet . Yunxiao walked out of the mist and sighed . “I only managed to open a few… What a pity . ”

If any other Martial Disciple were to hear that they would be able to open three meridians at once, they would sayay ‘it is a pity’ while donning a look of jealousy that they would bite him to death .

Yunxiao carefully put away the Five-Colored Divine Air Needle . After using it, the thirteen needles clearly became thinner and thinner .

“The Five-Colored Divine Air Needle is extremely useful in stimulating the body’s potential . I must find a way to get the other four pieces from the Lan Family . ”

After thinking for a while, he changed into a set of clean clothes and walked out of the room . When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Han Bai and Chen Zhen also walking out from their rooms . The injuries on both of their bodies had almost healed, but Chen Zhen’s bloated face had not disappeared at all .

“Young Master Yun!” Both of them exclaimed at the same time and they looked at Yunxiao in shock . Their eyes suddenly exploded with rage .

Han Bai said angrily, “Lan Fei’s group is too much! He actually poisoned Young Master Yun so badly . Could it be that he dares to kill us publicly?! ”

Chen Zhen was also furious . “I really want to go back and order ten thousand men to annihilate them! Young Master Yun, are you alright? This poison…”

Only now did Yunxiao discover that his entire body was a faint green color . This was a symptom of the large amount of medicinal strength remaining in his body . It would slowly heal . He explained the situation for a while, causing the two of them to be dumbstruck and stupefied for a long time .

“Young Master Yun, are you saying that you fixed Lan Fei and his men up and robbed them too?”

“Young Master Yun, are you saying that you’ve already opened your meridians?”

Chen Zhen burst out laughing . “Haha, I knew it! How could General Feilong’s son be trash?! Brat, you’ve suddenly become more powerful than all of us . Once the three of us graduate and inherit the title, we’ll just have to count the millions of soldiers who annihilated the Lan family!”

The shock on Han Bai’s face slowly disappeared as he pondered, “It’s a good thing that Young Master Yun activated his meridians, but he’s in big trouble now . Lan Fei and the rest will not give up . I’m afraid that Young Master Yun is putting himself in a precarious situation . ”

Chen Zhen imbued himself with heroic thoughts and said disdainfully, “They are just minor characters . They are not Young Master Yun’s match now, and even more so in the future! Could it be that they have the audacity to send people to the academy to cause trouble?”

There were only two Martial Kings in the entire Sky Water Nation . One of them was the principal of the academy, Zhong Lishan . He was known as the number one expert of Sky Water Nation . The laws of the country had its own rules and Jia Lan Academy had its own . Even if the King were to step in, he had to abide by them .

There was once a vice minister’s son who suffered a loss at the academy . After returning, he called for an expert from his family to beat up another student . The next day, all the Martial Warriors of this vice minister’s family had their cultivation base destroyed . From then on, a prominent family had completely declined and disappeared from the political center of the country .

This matter caused all the aristocratic families of the Sky Water Nation to be extremely afraid . Even the princes and princesses did not dare to act so wildly in the academy . However, the academy didn’t prohibit students from fighting each other . Thus, in the academy, one could only rely on their own ability to establish a foothold!

Han Bai shook his head . “Lan Fei is naturally nothing to be afraid of now, but did you forget about the one ranked third on the Small Cloud Ranking List?”

Chen Zhen’s pupils constricted and his expression turned ugly in an instant .

Chapter 12 . 2: Five Meridians

The Heaven and Earth Wind Ranking was the ranking list of the top rankers in the Heaven Martial Continent . There were a total of a hundred of them . In Yunxiao’s previous life, Gu Feiyang was the third strongest cultivator!

As for the Small Cloud Ranking that Han Bai mentioned, it was a ranking given based on the strength of Jia Lan Academy’s students . Every year, it would be rearranged through a competition . The person who was currently ranked third was the other direct descendant of the Lan family, Lan Fei’s half-brother, Lan Xuan!

Han Bai smiled bitterly and said, “Lan Xuan is a student who will graduate this year . It is said that he has already reached the twenty percent mark on the Martial Master Realm . Moreover, he’s the leader of the Xuan Gang . As long as he says it, none of the experts in the gang will dare to disobey . ”

Chen Zhen started to worry as well . “Martial Master… I’m afraid that as soon as he graduates, he’ll be able to directly join the country’s Divine Guard! This Lan Xuan seems to only be eighteen years old, right?!”

Han Bai nodded his head seriously and said, “That’s right . An eighteen-year-old Martial Master can be considered a rare genius in Sky Water Nation . At this rate, it is not impossible to become the Deputy Commander of the Divine Guard in the future . ”

Chen Zhen’s face became even more unsightly . “He is a Martial Master . Is there a need to trouble us over such a small matter?”

Han Bai also echoed the same thoughts . “He shouldn’t be making a move himself . There’s still some time before the holidays . Hopefully, we will be able to make it through before his graduation . ”

The corner of Yunxiao’s mouth slightly rose, and his gaze carried a smile as he said, “Relax, he will definitely come to find me . Even if he doesn’t come, I will go and find him . ”

He sneered in his heart . I’m still waiting to use the Five-Colored Divine Void Stone on Lan Xuan’s body!

In an exquisite little building in the academy, Lan Fei furiously roared, “Uncle, this time, I won’t be able to take it lying down no matter what!”

Wang Feng’s gaze turned cold as he scolded, “Shut up, you idiot! You almost caused a big incident! Fortunately,  Lan Xuan is in closed-door cultivation, otherwise, your brother’s many years of cultivation would have been completely destroyed! ”

Lan Fei was taken aback, but he soon said, “How can it be so serious? I’m just asking Brother Xuan to teach that trash a lesson! That’s all!”

“Trash? Humph!” Wang Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, and mocked, “And you call him that? What an ignorant fool! You have to understand, your real biggest enemy is Lan Xuan! Now that you have lost your right to become the direct master in the clan, if Lan Xuan knew about it, you would at least be reprimanded by the family . However, if they were to lose their direct line of descent, it is not impossible for them to be demoted you to a side branch! ”

Lan Fei turned pale and said fearfully, “Then what should I do? Uncle, you must help me!”

Wang Feng slightly squinted his eyes and said, “Don’t worry, you are the son of my good sister, so I will help you . However, as a teacher of the academy, I can’t attack a student for no reason . There are still seven days until the annual examination . From what you said, that kid didn’t open his meridians, right? At that time, I will apply to become the main examiner of his exam . As long as he is unable to display his meridians, I will directly expel him using the school’s rules! At that time, once he leaves the academy before we return to the Li Clan, it’ll be our time to make a move! When the time comes, we can snatch back the clan’s keepsake and as for that trash, we can kill him anytime we want! ”

Lan Fei fumed . “We have to wait another seven days? When I think of that day being insulted, I wish I could skin him immediately! That’s right, we must destroy his eggs! ”

“Hmph, you can’t even resist such a small setback?! What can I count on you to do? I still really have to worry about that boy too . The difference between you and him is really big!” Wang Feng coldly said .

Lan Fei’s face was white as a sheet, and his nails had dug straight into his flesh . He gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, let’s listen to uncle and let him bounce around for another seven days! However, don’t even think about getting away with it in the next seven days . I have my own ways to ruin his reputation, so I’ll need Uncle’s cooperation when the time comes . ”

A trace of doubt flashed through Wang Feng’s eyes, “What good idea do you have?”

Lan Fei’s face revealed a sinister smile as he whispered into Wang Feng’s ear . Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly . If he succeeded, he wouldn’t have to wait for seven days . “As expected of the son of my good sister . Uncle was looking down on you earlier . ”

… … . …

“Hmm? Who’s sneaking around?” Yunxiao, who was cultivating the Great Soul Divine Art in his dorm, suddenly frowned . His spiritual sense was far from that of an ordinary person’s, so he immediately noticed that there were two people carefully lurking outside his room .

It was already late at night . Could it be a thief?

There were often rich students whose belongings were stolen, so it wasn’t anything new, especially when it came to noble students who had their own dorms and were the targets of thieves .

Yunxiao walked out and pushed open the door . Suddenly, a pink letter fell down .

“Yunxiao, come meet me . ”

There were four big words written on the top of the scroll, and there was a faint pink fragrance coming from it . Yunxiao frowned . He tore open the envelope and saw that it was a love letter . There were only four lines on it: “On the moon, the willow branches, let’s meet behind the Maple Forest . Tonight, when the moon is full, I am willing to remain the same as before . ”

It was signed: Luo Lan .
