Blazing Sun Art, Meridian Opening Sixth Level!

That night, Lin Feng received his first "Beginner's Gift Package" as an Iron Token Demon Slayer.

A set of brand-new black combat attire, three "Qi Replenishing Pills" for cultivation, and two manuals exuding a faint ink fragrance.

One was the Demon Suppression Division's foundational cultivation technique—Blazing Sun Art.

The other was its accompanying saber technique—Seven Fiends Saber Technique.

Blazing Sun Art, drawing its essence from the blazing sun, cultivates True Qi that is supremely resilient and yang, possessing a natural counteracting effect against demons and ghosts.

Its cultivation difficulty and refinement far surpassed common arts like Qi Guiding Art.

This technique was sufficient to support a martial artist from the Body Tempering realm all the way to the perfection of the Meridian Opening Realm!

As for Seven Fiends Saber Technique, it was a widely circulated killing saber art within the Demon Suppression Division.

It comprised seven stances, each more domineering and sharp than the last. With every saber strike, a malevolent aura followed, repelling even gods and demons.

For Lin Feng at this moment, it was like finding rain after a long drought.

"Finally."

Returning to his room, Lin Feng closed the doors and windows, sat cross-legged, and his eyes shimmered with excitement.

He glanced at his System panel.

[Host: Lin Feng]
[Realm: Ninth Level of Body Tempering]
[Cultivation Technique: Qi Guiding Art (Perfection)]
[Martial Skill: Basic Constable Saber Technique (Perfection)]
[Movement Technique: Flowing Wind Steps (Perfection)]
[Crit Multiplier: 15x]
[Crit Points: 4990]

The annihilation of the Black Tiger Gang and Moon Worship Cult strongholds had allowed him to accumulate a massive amount of Crit Points.

Now, it was time to convert this accumulation into true strength!

"System!"

Lin Feng silently chanted in his mind, "First, use Crit Points to learn Seven Fiends Saber Technique!"

[Ding! Consumed 500 Crit Points, Seven Fiends Saber Technique crit success!]

As the words fell, a vast and bloody aura of slaughter instantly surged into Lin Feng's sea of consciousness!

It was as if a peerless saber master, battle-hardened and forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was demonstrating the seven domineering saber stances in his mind.

Every move and every stance was filled with the pure, ultimate beauty born of killing. All the techniques, methods of applying force, and ways to wield the malevolent aura were instantly integrated and etched into Lin Feng's very bones!

Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Novice!

"What a domineering saber technique. Just learning it cost 500 Crit Points. As expected, it's not comparable to trash like the Basic Constable Saber Technique!"

A sharp glint shot from Lin Feng's eyes.

If he were to face Zhao Tie and Li Rui together now, he wouldn't even need the Flowing Wind Steps for a sneak attack.

With just the novice Seven Fiends Saber Technique and its 15x crit multiplier, he could defeat them with ease!

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Feng turned his gaze to the Blazing Sun Art manual.

Cultivation was the cornerstone of everything. Without a strong foundation, even the most masterful martial skills would not be able to exert their full potential.

Therefore, he decided to use all his remaining Crit Points on Blazing Sun Art.

[Ding! Consumed 4490 Crit Points, Blazing Sun Art crit success!]

RUMBLE!

This time, the commotion was more terrifying than any before!

Centered around Lin Feng's room, a visible vortex of spiritual energy, emitting a faint golden light, formed. The spiritual energy in the sky above Qingyang County seemed to be summoned, pouring madly towards him!

In another guest room at the County Office, Chu Mengxi, who was meditating and regulating her breathing, suddenly opened her eyes.

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

She felt the vast and pure spiritual energy fluctuations, her face filled with disbelief.

"What an incredibly fast rate of spiritual energy absorption! Someone is breaking through! And it's... a major realm breakthrough! Is it that Lin Feng?!"

She flickered and appeared in the courtyard, gazing towards the direction of Lin Feng's room. The shock in her beautiful eyes was immeasurable.

Meanwhile, at the center of the storm, Lin Feng was undergoing a transformative metamorphosis.

Between the Body Tempering realm and the Meridian Opening realm lay a colossal barrier known as the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth."

Ordinary martial artists needed years of painstaking effort, slowly impacting it, to perhaps break through by sheer luck.

But for Lin Feng, this barrier, under the System's enhancement, was as fragile as a piece of thin paper!

"Break... for me!"

With a thought, Lin Feng's mind moved, and that massive torrent of spiritual energy transformed into a sky-splitting hammer, fiercely smashing against the invisible barrier!

Crack!

A crisp sound, as if from the depths of his soul!

The Bridge of Heaven and Earth was forcefully connected!

Endless spiritual energy instantly found an outlet, following an esoteric route, and began to circulate wildly within his body, finally converging in his dantian, condensing into the first wisp of... True Qi!

This wisp of True Qi, a faint golden hue, was filled with an extremely potent, yang-dominant explosive aura!

Meridian Opening Realm, First Level, achieved!

However, this was merely the beginning!

Lin Feng's cultivation began to skyrocket as if he were on a rocket!

Meridian Opening Realm, Second Level!

Meridian Opening Realm, Third Level!

Vast True Qi carved out more and more broad meridians within his body, like surging rivers and great seas, bringing boundless power with every circulation!

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

Meridian Opening Realm, Fourth Level!

Meridian Opening Realm, Fifth Level!

Meridian Opening Realm, Sixth Level!

As the last bit of Crit Points was depleted, the True Qi within Lin Feng's body had reached an unbelievable level of potency. The Twelve Primary Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were almost all opened by him!

The crucial Ren and Du meridians were only a single step away from being fully opened!

"Hoo..."

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and two golden beams of light shot out, piercing two fist-sized holes directly through the opposite wall!

He felt the unprecedented, vast, and surging power within him, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curving upwards.

"This is... the strength of the Meridian Opening Realm, Sixth Level?"

He had a feeling that he could now easily kill a hundred of his former self!

And all of this had happened in less than an hour since he obtained the cultivation technique!

Just then, Chu Mengxi's voice, tinged with urgency and shock, came from outside the courtyard.

"Lin Feng, you broke through?"

She couldn't help herself and rushed over.

The massive spiritual energy fluctuation just now had far exceeded her understanding. She even thought Lin Feng had encountered some sort of cultivation anomaly and was about to suffer qi deviation.

Lin Feng restrained his aura and opened the door.

Seeing Lin Feng safe and sound, Chu Mengxi first breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as her gaze fell upon Lin Feng's body, her phoenix eyes widened instantly!

"Meridian... Meridian Opening Realm, Sixth Level?!"

She exclaimed in disbelief, her voice trembling.

How was this possible?!

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

And an hour later, he had... he had actually surged directly to the Meridian Opening Realm, Sixth Level?!

This wasn't just genius.

This was a monster!

A prodigy!
