Six Meridian Divine Sword?

Dugu Yan had always harbored one concern: before her father died, he had suffered terribly from the poison.

The image of her father enduring that pain had remained etched in her heart.

It made her wonder whether her grandfather was suffering the same torment.

She had her suspicions about herself as well, but her grandfather had never told her anything, and she did not dare ask too much for fear of upsetting him.

With all these matters weighing on her heart, Dugu Yan had no mind to think about anything else.

Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan and sighed.

The two exchanged a glance, sharing a sense of mutual sympathy.

Both were orphans, with only their grandfathers left.

That was also why they could be as close as sisters—they had too much in common.

Meanwhile, inside the cafeteria.

With Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling gone, the place returned to its usual chatter.

Dugu Feng had become the center of everyone's discussion.

On his first day of school, the Soul Fighting match just now and his clash with Dugu Yan had made everyone take notice of him.

Dugu Feng's words had also led the students to completely misunderstand his relationship with Dugu Yan.

So it was a conflict between an older sister and younger brother. The sister wanted to keep her brother in line, while the brother refused to be managed. Those present who had older sisters all looked at Dugu Feng with sympathy.

Dugu Yan might not have been arrogant and overbearing at school, but she certainly had a forceful personality.

Many people had seen it for themselves.

Ge Ying looked at Dugu Feng and said, "Brother Feng, you're quite popular with women!"

"Teacher, are you just watching me make a fool of myself?"

"Why call me Teacher in private? Call me Brother Ge or Ge Ying if you like. I'd advise you to keep a low profile from now on. Your cousin and Ning Rongrong both have plenty of admirers!" Ge Ying said with a grin.

You're a teacher, yet you don't act like one at all.

Dugu Feng was speechless. Distant memories of elementary school back on Blue Star seemed to return to him.

These little kids' squabbles are way too childish.

If they really piss me off, I might have to let snakes bite them. That would fit my behavior as a six-year-old, right?

Soon, after lunch.

Ge Ying led the students of the class to the Simulated Cultivation Field.

It was a place as large as several football fields, half forest and half hills, beside a lake at the foot of the mountain.

Ge Ying dispersed the students among simulated environments suited to their cultivation.

Those who had yet to obtain their First Soul Ring were to meditate and cultivate their Soul Power.

Those who had obtained their First Soul Ring were to practice their soul skills.

Dugu Feng was assigned to the edge of a forest. The lake lay several dozen meters away, and the area was filled with low Flowers and Plants and trees in vivid colors. They were poisonous and well suited to his cultivation.

He surveyed the surroundings. It seemed he would be cultivating here for quite some time.

This place was some distance from where the others trained, making it convenient for him to practice his Poison Technique.

Purple Poison Fog slowly rose, covering an area of over a hundred square meters.

All the students turned to look toward the lakeside.

Even from so far away, they instinctively took several steps back to avoid being poisoned.

That was precisely the effect Dugu Feng wanted.

He did not want his secrets exposed. Being enveloped in Jade Phosphor Purple Poison would effectively prevent anyone from spying on him.

Dugu Feng slightly opened his mouth, and two streaks of green light flew out one after another.

The light then gathered in his hands, forming two beads streaked with white and green.

Two-thirds of each bead was white, while one-third was green.

The Pill Beads are my greatest trump card!

Dugu Feng rolled the two Pill Beads between his fingers, continuously sensing them with his mind.

If the Pill Beads' energy is measured out of one hundred, they currently contain thirty-six. They still need sixty-four more to become full.

That's too slow. It's already been three months since Martial Soul Awakening, yet they've only risen from thirty-three, one-third full, to thirty-six.

Only one point a month. That's even slower than cultivating Soul Power. This won't do.

Pill Bead Evolution is not merely an increase in quantity. More importantly, it improves their quality, and grants all sorts of incredible powers.

When Dugu Bo fought the Golden Holy Dragon, he used Pill Beads together with his eighth soul skill, greatly increasing the eighth soul skill's power.

Dugu Feng's gaze gradually hardened.

The two Pill Beads slowly approached the two Little Snakes in his hands.

Under Dugu Feng's control, the Pill Bead turned into green light again and was swallowed by the two Nine-Section Emeralds.

Over this long period of time, he had already sensed that the Pill Bead could change size.

It was a genuine treasure.

The Pill Bead could nourish his body.

His vitality, blood, and toxins could also provide energy for the Pill Bead. It was a cycle.

Now, he wanted to add the two Nine-Section Emeralds to that cycle.

They would provide energy for the Pill Bead together, while the Pill Bead would enhance the Nine-Section Emeralds' strength.

With him and the two soul beasts raising the Pill Bead together, it should be much faster!

"In one month, you two need to become Hundred-Year Soul Beasts and learn how to fly. You can't just eat mine without doing any work. Cultivate diligently and nourish the Pill Bead!"

Dugu Feng said sternly.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

The Nine-Section Emeralds seemed to be arguing back.

"Fine, I know. You haven't been freeloading. You've both been working hard!"

Then, the two little snakes crawled toward a Flower Wood as tall as two people.

They leaped down from it and practiced flying unsteadily.

After landing, they climbed back onto the Flower Wood and jumped down again.

Dugu Feng smiled with satisfaction. Working Snakes—perfect.

With the Pill Bead supplying them with energy and giving them plenty of motivation to cultivate, Dugu Feng thought for a moment before taking out some Snake Food from his Soul Tool and placing it beneath the Flower Wood.

That way, they would not go hungry while cultivating.

Having arranged matters for the Nine-Section Emeralds and the Pill Bead, Dugu Feng straightforwardly began practicing the use of Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.

He took a deep breath, like a giant whale drawing in water, and all the purple mist in the air returned to his body.

His First Soul Ring lit up as he entered the state of activating his soul skill.

The poison condensed by the soul skill traveled along his Meridians to his hands under the control of his Soul Power.

With his eyes closed, Dugu Feng continuously used Soul Power to activate the network of Meridians in his hands.

But the moment the poison arrived there, his Meridians could not withstand it and were instantly injured.

Dugu Feng hurriedly used Soul Power to repair them.

Repairing them, circulating Jade Phosphor Purple Poison, getting injured, then repairing them again.

Repeating this cycle continuously toughened the Meridians in his hands, allowing them to adapt to the poison's power.

In the end, he would be able to release Jade Phosphor Purple Poison from both hands, as swift as sharp swords.

Wasn't this basically the Six Meridian Divine Sword?

The more his Soul Power circulated, the more Dugu Feng felt that it resembled it.

After obtaining his soul ring, Old Snake had taught him the Meridians needed to shoot poison through the air from his hands. There were twelve Meridians in both hands that needed strengthening.

They were precisely the pathways of the Twelve Principal Meridians in the hands.

The Twelve Principal Meridians carried vitality and blood, linking the internal organs, body surface, and every part of the body. They were naturally open from birth.

This differed from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The Eight Extraordinary Meridians were closed and had to be opened through constant impact.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword also used the pathways of the Twelve Principal Meridians in the hands to shoot inner force outward, injuring people like sharp swords.

It was just that the Six Meridian Divine Sword only used six Meridians: those in the right hand, plus the left little finger.

What Old Snake taught, however, required both hands. There were two Meridians in each human little finger, so there were twelve Meridians in total between both hands.

Shooting the Jade Phosphor Purple Poison contained in the Meridians of all ten fingers through the air could directly pierce and kill, breaking through an opponent's defenses and using poison to slay them.

Thinking of those scenes where the Six Meridian Divine Sword was unleashed, Dugu Feng found it quite exhilarating.
