Qian Renxue's Hundred Unblocked Meridians

"Damn! Are these teachers all idiots?!" Li Fei rubbed his forehead and helplessly explained under Qian Renxue's confused gaze, "Sealing your soul power to train your body is indeed effective, but it mainly trains your muscles and bones. What we need to train are your internal organs and Meridians—they're the foundation for withstanding the impact of soul power when you absorb Spirit Rings!"

"I know what internal organs are, but what are Meridians?!" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

As someone from Douluo Continent, she had been conditioned to believe that soul power could only be cultivated through meditation and had never considered any other possibility. This was also what puzzled Li Fei. Douluo Continent had existed for who knew how many years, yet no one had discovered that soul power flowed through the Meridians within the body when it was used. This was why people in his previous life mocked Douluo natives for having an average IQ below zero.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill, which would only count as a second-rate or even third-rate technique in a Wuxia World, had somehow remained the most top-tier cultivation method throughout the four-part Douluo series. It was truly speechless.

"Meridians are the pathways through which your soul power circulates throughout your body. The tougher and wider those pathways are, the more efficiently you can mobilize your soul power, and the more soul power you can withstand. Close your eyes and sense the soul power in your body. See whether it flows along fixed routes!" Li Fei explained what he knew about Meridians.

He had discovered this after awakening his martial soul. Thanks to the Body Martial Soul's control over and perception of the body, Li Fei had uncovered some of the secrets of the Meridians.

At his words, Qian Renxue and Sister Ying, who was hidden in the shadows, closed their eyes and began using meditation to sense the flow of soul power within their bodies. Sure enough, just as Li Fei had said, their soul power continuously flowed along a specific route.

"So that's how it is! How did I never notice?!" Realization dawned on Qian Renxue's face, and she said with open admiration, "Li Fei, you're amazing!"

"No, what kind of development is this?!"

Li Fei was utterly dumbfounded. Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, he sensed that something was wrong. Could Qian Renxue have taken a liking to me?!

"No! No! This isn't the direction I want things to go. I'm not qualified to receive her love yet!" Shaking his head, Li Fei looked at Qian Renxue and said solemnly, "Your Highness, it's time for us to train!"

With that, Li Fei took the lead and started running.

Qian Renxue did not understand why, but she still followed Li Fei and began training her body.

By then, the temperature in the space had already reached fifty degrees. An ordinary person would fall into dehydration after less than half an hour in such an environment. Even with Li Fei and Qian Renxue supported by soul power, after training for half a shichen, both of them were already drenched in sweat.

Qian Renxue in particular felt her vision beginning to blur and the muscles throughout her body starting to ache. She had never experienced such a sensation before!

"Here, drink it in small sips! It can replenish the water and salt you've lost and restore your strength!"

Li Fei took out a bottle of salt water from his Storage Ring and handed it to Qian Renxue, letting her recover her strength first. He did not dare let Qian Renxue become dehydrated.

Qian Renxue hurriedly took several small sips. Only after her vision returned to normal and her strength had recovered somewhat did she gulp down all the remaining water in one go.

"I'm alive again!"

She tossed the bottle onto the ground beside her and panted heavily before continuing to run behind Li Fei.

"This training is mainly to let me observe your limits. When we rest at noon, I'll teach you a method for circulating soul power. It'll make your training more effective."

"I'll persevere!"

Seeing that Qian Renxue had agreed, Li Fei turned and resumed running. Though this training was meant to determine Qian Renxue's limits, it was also meant to find out his own limits.

As for the method of circulating soul power, he had accidentally let it slip before anyway. It did not matter if he taught it to Qian Renxue.

Soon, it was noon. Li Fei stood at the control panel of the Mimicry Environment, panting heavily. His whole body looked as though he had been drenched in water. The food and water in his Storage Ring had long been consumed, and the soul power in his body had been completely exhausted.

Qian Renxue had reached her limit an hour earlier and was already resting in the open space nearby, while also watching how Li Fei trained.

Just half a day of spending time together had made her greatly admire Li Fei. She could not complete any of that high-intensity training, yet Li Fei had persevered until he reached his own limit. She had never seen such determination before.

Growl!

A loud rumble came from Li Fei's stomach. Even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed and awkwardly rubbed his belly. Ever since obtaining the passive soul skill Gluttony, his appetite had grown by the day, and he became hungry much more quickly.

Qian Renxue covered her mouth and laughed. No one had ever done something so impolite in front of her before. Turning toward the air, she said, "Sister Ying, prepare more food. Let's eat!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At the Spirit Hall cafeteria, a table was piled high with dishes made from all kinds of Soul Beast meat. Qian Renxue sat there elegantly, eating in small bites.

Li Fei did not care about any of that. His chopsticks moved so fast they left afterimages as he rapidly cleared the food on the table, quickly digesting it and converting it into soul power to replenish what he had expended during training.

"The Mimicry Environment truly lives up to its name. Just half a day of cultivation in such an extreme environment, and I can already feel my soul power becoming slightly purer. The improvement to my body is even beyond anything from before!"

After clearing the table, Li Fei sensed the state of the soul power within him, and a trace of delight appeared in his eyes. At this rate, his improvement would be three times faster than cultivating outside.

"You can actually eat that much!"

Qian Renxue stared dumbfoundedly at the mountain of plates before Li Fei, then looked at the few in front of herself. She could hardly believe one person could eat so much.

"Training the body can't be satisfied by soul power alone. It needs all kinds of nutrients, and those can only be obtained from food!" Li Fei explained with a smile. He slowly walked behind Qian Renxue. "In a moment, remember the route my soul power takes through your body. It can strengthen your Meridians and internal organs while you train. This is the key if you want to achieve a Thousand Year First Ring in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fei placed his hand on Qian Renxue's back. His soul power entered her body and began a simple circulation cycle.

Qian Renxue sat in her chair and began meditating, sensing the flow of soul power through her body. What she did not know was that Li Fei's heart was already in turmoil.

"She was actually born with a Hundred Unblocked Meridians. No wonder she had Innate Soul Power at level twenty. With a Hundred Unblocked Meridians, isn't that kind of talent only natural?!"

"I really don't know how much time she wasted being an undercover agent in the original story, or how much it held her back. If she had cultivated diligently instead of going undercover, what place would Tang San have had?!"
