Meditation Methods and Meridians

The difficulty growth of Soul Power Level breakthroughs surpassed the Talent Growth brought about by cultivation.

Although Gravity Pressure and Soul Power Suppression could broaden Han Tao's Meridians and bring a certain degree of Talent Growth, this improvement was limited.

To put it more precisely, Xiao Yuan's Soul Skill Strength was limited.

Once Han Tao's Meridians had broadened to a certain extent, he could no longer use this method to achieve the same results.

Therefore, improving his cultivation method had become an urgent matter.

It took three months. Han Tao had originally expected a breakthrough after two months, but he had not expected this minor Soul Power Bottleneck to hold him back for another month.

This undoubtedly strengthened Han Tao's determination to explore the Meditation Technique.

Unlike before, when Han Tao's Soul Power broke through this time, he quietly sensed the changes within his Martial Soul.

A breakthrough in Soul Power Level was a tempering of one's own Soul Power—a dual increase in both quality and quantity.

What differed from before was that when Han Tao's Soul Power entered his Martial Soul this time, it actually transformed into the shape of Bamboo.

The top and bottom were sealed by Bamboo Joints, leaving the inside hollow. Soul Power collided within the narrow space.

Tempering. Growth.

At the moment when the Soul Power Aura reached its peak, it naturally broke through the Shackles of Bamboo Joints, and the Soul Power Level Reached 21.

"A Bamboo-shaped Martial Soul Framework can consume more Soul Power and obtain an Additional Tempering Effect."

The tip of his brush scratched across the page as he wrote in his Diary.

"Blue Silver Grass. Thankfully, it was Blue Silver Grass."

Han Tao felt somewhat emotional. Blue Silver Grass was publicly recognized throughout the Douluo Continent as a Trash Martial Soul, with an Abysmally Low Growth Base.

Slow Cultivation Speed, Low Physique Growth, and Poor Soul Power Quality—all of these were ultimately caused by the Martial Soul. However, Blue Silver Grass's Perception Ability was instead the greatest among all Martial Souls.

It was precisely because of Blue Silver Grass's Perception Ability that Han Tao had discovered many details other Soul Masters had failed to notice.

This time, for example, Han Tao had realized the relationship between the Martial Soul and Soul Power.

"A Bamboo Joint Framework Form constructed from Soul Power produces a positive influence on the Martial Soul."

Yes, this time Han Tao had "seen" it clearly.

However, seeing something clearly and understanding it were two different matters. Understanding something and being able to operate it were likewise two different matters.

If Han Tao truly understood it completely and could operate it—if he could actively construct such a "Bamboo Joint Framework" during the Soul Power Circulation of Soul Master Advancement—then even without the "Solitary Bamboo" Soul Ring, he could still grant his Martial Soul an Additional Growth Base of 0.2.

"Then, is the Bamboo Joint Framework Form the Optimal Solution for Soul Power Circulation?"

"Could there be a More Reasonable Framework that would allow Soul Power to possess a Stronger Tempering Effect?"

From the phenomenon of an Independent Unit, he extended his thoughts toward Diversified Thinking. This was the most basic ability of a Transmigrator.

Han Tao gently tapped the desktop with his finger. "If I want to understand it, I need more detailed observations and records from more trials. Perception Ability and Calculation Power have already become indispensable to this research."

"Achieving Microscopic Amplification likewise requires Perception Ability and Calculation Power. Only extremely precise timing can produce the corresponding effect. If the timing or position is wrong, Microscopic Amplification will fail."

After gathering all his scattered thoughts and inspiration into a single focus, Han Tao finally remembered his real task.

Finding a way to Optimize Meditation Method.

Building a Car Behind Closed Doors was not advisable. A High-Level Perspective was essential.

"Looks like I'll have to owe Big Brother another favor this time."

He headed to Heaven Dou Royal Academy again. His target this time was the Advanced Meditation Method within the academy.

Just like last time, Han Tao produced the Crown Prince Token, and the gatekeeper let him pass.

Following the Course Guidance, Han Tao arrived at the classroom for the Heaven Minor Grade Students and blended in among the many students.

When the teacher arrived, the disorderly classroom immediately fell silent.

"Temporary Notice. Teacher Xu has something to attend to today, so I'll be substituting for this class."

The person who entered through the main door was an Elder dressed in a White Robe. Han Tao was just wondering about his identity.

But soon, the exclamations around him gave him the answer.

"Teacher Bai Baoshan! He's a major figure rarely seen in person—a Soul Master of Soul Douluo Level!"

"Isn't he a teacher for the Heaven Supreme Grade? Why is he teaching us Heaven Minor Grade Students?"

A Fatty asked in a foolish, dazed manner, looking none too bright as he said, "Could it be that he was demoted?"

Before anyone else could answer, a stern voice suddenly rang out from the podium.

"Shut up!"

Fatty jumped in fright.

Bai Baoshan swept his gaze around the room, and every student obediently lowered their head.

Seeing this, he rubbed his chin in satisfaction.

"Next, I'll be explaining the essence of the Heaven Dou Meditation Method."

This Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan was truly ferocious. Any slight mistake made in class would earn you a thorough scolding.

Fortunately, his insults avoided Han Tao. It seemed the Crown Prince Token had taken effect.

"To understand the Heaven Dou Meditation Method, you must first understand the Meridians within a Soul Master's body."

"Meridian theory was proposed by the Martial Soul Hall Elder, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a Middle Grade Immortal Herb. After consuming it, one gained the ability to circulate Fortune through the four limbs and unblock the eight meridians.

"The main pathways of the human body's Meridians can be divided into the Twelve Principal Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The Twelve Principal Meridians include the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian."

"The Eight Extraordinary Meridians coordinate and connect the Twelve Principal Meridians. Among them, the Ren and Du Meridians are the most crucial. The Du Meridian oversees the six Yang Meridians of the hands and feet, making it the 'Sea of Yang Meridians' throughout a Soul Master's body. The Ren Meridian oversees the six Yin Meridians of the hands and feet."

Han Tao recorded Bai Baoshan's words one by one.

The academic school truly lived up to its name. When it came to the fundamental cultivation foundation of Soul Masters, Heaven Dou Royal Academy possessed the most solid theories and the deepest research.

A single class could impart only so much. Bai Baoshan merely gave a broad overview of the Meridians within the human body.

The rest was left to the students to study on their own.

The Meditation Method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also involved Meridian theory. However, unlike the orthodox school, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Meditation Method used Capillary Meridians to condense Soul Power.

Condensing Soul Power through a large number of fine Meridians required extremely high proficiency. The slightest mistake could result in Meridian Damage.

That was why Ning Fengzhi had taken the theory of "Deep Treatment" so seriously when Han Tao presented it. This theory happened to address the crucial area most lacking within their Sect.

At the same time, however, the dense and fine Meridians condensed more Soul Power, making the Cultivation Speed of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Meditation Method faster.

Moreover, this Meditation Method complemented the Heart Separation Control Method. Heart Separation Control increased a Soul Master's control over Soul Power. Only when one's control was strong enough could one thoroughly master this so-called "Meditation Method."

Han Tao displayed the Crown Prince Token again and entered the Library Pavilion of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Han Tao, it's you!" Before Han Tao could react, a female voice interrupted his thoughts.

Blue short hair, a narrow yet well-fitted dress, and pale blue pupils.

That's right—the person who had arrived was Ye Lingling.

"A while ago, the Crown Prince, out of admiration for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's research, became Ning Fengzhi's disciple."

"I wonder why you, Little Brother Han Tao, have appeared in the Library Pavilion of Heaven Dou Academy?"

Her cool voice carried a trace of chill.

Thank you to all my brothers and sisters for your suggestions. I made some revisions to the previous chapter. The core significance of obtaining the Solitary Bamboo Soul Ring was growth, and I also provided the reason for not choosing the Hundred Year Solitary Bamboo.

Finally, thank you readers for your support. May we all encourage one another.
