The Eight Extraordinary Meridians Accidentally Open! Lightning and Flint Show Off to Chen Xin! Second Update

Chi Xiu wore a fitted white outfit today, the clothes making his figure look even more slender. He had now grown to Chi Yuan's shoulder height.

"Xiu, why have you been growing so fast lately?"

Chi Yuan stroked Chi Xiu's head and could not help asking.

"I've been eating well..."

"His martial soul has awakened, so there will naturally be changes in his body. Besides, the Little Young Master's martial soul is of such high quality—his changes will definitely surpass those of ordinary soul masters."

The kind-faced Second Elder explained it to Chi Xiu.

"Enough, enough. Stop with the nonsense and hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest. The Soul Beasts in the outer region probably won't be good enough for this brat. We'll need to go a little deeper."

The Great Elder urged them impatiently. Although he had accepted Chi Xiu's abilities, he still remained dissatisfied. Chi Xiu did not particularly mind. The Great Elder was somewhat harsh by nature, but ultimately, it was all for the sect's sake.

The Purple Star Sect was located near the Star Dou Great Forest. The four arrived at the forest's edge, made a brief observation, then continued deeper inside.

"What's the limit for a first soul ring?"

Chi Xiu asked Chi Yuan as they walked.

"Four hundred and twenty-three years. Of course, many soul masters' physical constitutions cannot even withstand three hundred years. That depends on a soul master's own attributes and physical condition."

Chi Xiu could not help shaking his head after hearing that. "A hundred years is too low..."

"Hmph. Don't tell me you want your first soul ring to be a thousand-year one?"

The Great Elder glanced at Chi Xiu. The boy wore a mask and kept his aura restrained. Now that he looked at him, there truly was an inexplicable sense that the depths within him could not be fathomed.

Chi Xiu sneered. "A thousand years is still too low."

"What?! You brat!"

The Great Elder was so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged.

"Shh!"

Chi Xiu hurriedly turned back and gestured for silence.

"Someone's there!"

A rustling sound came from not far ahead.

The three elders were inwardly shocked. Even with the weakest among them being a Soul Ancestor, their senses had somehow failed to match those of a child who had only just awakened his martial soul.

Chi Xiu knew this was the effect of the immortal herbs and pills. They not only enhanced strength and physique, but also improved a person's five senses to varying degrees.

"Friends over there, there's no need to be nervous. We mean no harm; we're merely passing through."

That vigorous voice sounded so familiar...

As Chi Yuan was wondering about it, the Great Elder suddenly rushed out and cried in shock, "Sword Saint Chenxin!"

The Great Elder was a diehard fan of Chenxin's.

Chenxin?

Chi Xiu frowned slightly. What a small world. He wondered whether the old man still held a grudge over not being received by him that day.

Chenxin was clearly surprised as well upon seeing people from the Purple Star Sect. He had not expected them to be so fated.

The Second Elder emerged from the grass, followed by Chi Yuan. Then, a boy wearing a Black Mask came out last.

Chenxin's brow twitched, and he was inwardly astonished.

There was actually a fourth person!

With his cultivation, he had not sensed the masked brat's presence beforehand!

What was going on?

Chenxin could not help taking a deep breath, suddenly beginning to doubt himself.

"And this young friend is?"

Chi Yuan immediately pulled Chi Xiu forward. "Greetings, Sword Saint Chenxin. This is my son, Chi Xiu."

"He's that child?!"

The expression on Chenxin's face at that moment was even more spectacular than a circus performance.

Interesting.

This boy truly gave off a uniquely strange feeling. He was becoming more and more unfathomable.

For some reason, Chenxin always felt that he could not see through him.

He could sense the strength of the other three, yet he could not judge Chi Xiu's strength at all. He could not even sense his existence.

Little did he know, this was precisely the effect of the mask on Chi Xiu's face.

"Greetings, Sword Saint Chenxin."

Chi Xiu bowed respectfully.

"No need for such formality. Now I've finally seen your true face, Chi Xiu."

Actually, taking off the mask would be my true face, Chi Xiu grumbled inwardly.

"May I ask why Sword Saint Chenxin has come here?"

At that, Chenxin sighed and stretched an arm behind him. "I came to hunt this girl's first spirit ring."

"Rongrong, come out and greet them. Be good."

Ning Rongrong, dressed in a little dress, hopped out from behind Chenxin. She seemed somewhat shy, her rosy cheeks puffed up as she continued clutching Chenxin's large hand.

Just moments ago, she had been hiding behind Chenxin, watching Chi Xiu.

Although the boy wore a mask, she somehow felt that there was a very handsome face beneath it.

"So this is the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At such a young age, she's already grown into such a pretty girl."

Chi Yuan smiled as though he had just met his future daughter-in-law, pulling Chi Xiu forward as he spoke.

Feelings had to be nurtured from a young age. He had to pair the two of them up somehow!

Chenxin smiled indulgently at that. "Don't praise her. The moment you do, she starts getting carried away."

"I don't!"

Ning Rongrong puffed out her little pink lips, her eyes still stealing glances at Chi Xiu from time to time.

Ning Rongrong was still such an adorable little girl at this age. Seeing her stare at him, Chi Xiu quietly raised an eyebrow. Ning Rongrong, however, immediately arched her delicate brows and raised her tiny pink fist, utterly unafraid.

At that moment, Chenxin's gaze returned to Chi Xiu.

"I have some doubts about this child. May I come over and take a look?"

He was asking Chi Yuan. The foolish father froze for a moment before nodding. Chenxin was a man of great virtue and prestige; surely, he would not do anything improper.

Chenxin slowly approached, his pale hair stirring despite the absence of wind.

What terrifying pressure...

Chi Xiu clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Chenxin felt like Mount Tai to him; every step seemed to carry the weight of a thousand jun.

At that moment, Chenxin raised his palm toward Chi Xiu. Force surged within his palm, and blades of grass on the ground scattered into the air.

"This..."

Chi Yuan was somewhat worried.

The Great Elder said with a solemn expression, "Don't worry. Sword Saint Chenxin is testing this brat."

Chi Xiu's feelings were the most direct. That mountain known as Chenxin was slowly pressing down upon him...

"Strange. I still can't sense this child's strength..."

Chenxin frowned and increased the pressure slightly. This was already beyond what an ordinary six-year-old could endure, but Chenxin held an inexplicable trust in Chi Xiu. He believed Chi Xiu could withstand it.

Just then, something seemed to shatter.

Chi Xiu's eyes widened, his heart filled with incomparable shock.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians had actually all opened under this pressure...

They had already been eighty percent opened due to the immortal herbs and medicinal elixirs before, but now they had reached one hundred percent!

This was a full seven or eight years earlier than Tang San!

Chenxin's large hand drew closer and closer. At this moment, Chi Xiu curled his lips slightly.

You want to test me?

Sorry, try touching me first.

"Crackle..."

"Crackle... crackle..."

"Crack! Crack!"

Red sparks of lightning began winding around every one of Chi Xiu's fingers before spreading downward. Fine sparks swirled around his legs, and everything around him seemed to slow.

Falling leaves, Chenxin's approaching hand, the Great Elder's slightly parted lips, Ning Rongrong's lifted skirt hem...

Everything slowed in Chi Xiu's eyes!
