Yuan Zun: Starting with the Eight Ancestral Symbols

Chapter 16: The Power of Source Marks
Much Chen easily dealt with Xu Lin, who had opened two meridians. The atmosphere at the scene became quiet. Many people looked at Much Chen in amazement. There was no sign of opening meridians on his body at all.

"With this kind of physique, this person must have at least two meridians, and he is one of the best with two meridians."

"It's possible to open all three meridians. I've never heard of it before."

……

Besides being shocked, there was a heated discussion, everyone was whispering to each other, and even some female students were flirting with Muchen, which made Su Youwei angry, but helpless because she had no relationship with Brother Chen.

"Good boy, that's interesting. Is this the Muchen that the king mentioned?" Chu Tianyang, the Lord of the Chu Mansion, applauded.

Naturally, he would remember anyone who was mentioned by Zhou Qing. There was no problem with Muchen's position. He would not stand on the side of Prince Qi's Mansion, and he knew Zhou Yuan.

"Mu Chen, you are indeed not a simple person. I'm sorry, it seems that I have implicated you." Zhou Yuan scratched his head.

If Muchen didn't talk to him, he wouldn't be noticed by those people and wouldn't be in trouble. But now Muchen has definitely entered Qi Yue's sight and might be targeted in the future.

"It's just a small matter. As long as the big one doesn't come, then I don't have to worry about it."

As the county magistrate, Xu Lin's father should be a strong man in the Tianguan realm. Now, Mu Chen is not very confident in dealing with a strong man of this level. He should be able to fight back if he tries his best to use the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

"The big one won't come, and my father won't allow it." Zhou Yuan said with certainty.

If a Tianguan Realm expert dares to attack a Kaimai Realm student, or a student who is related to the royal family, he will definitely suffer the consequences in the end.

Da Zhou Palace, West Garden.

A group of young boys and girls knelt in front of the desks. Anyway, Muchen was not used to this sitting posture, so he directly chose the last row, Wang's hometown, and sat there with his back against the wall and legs crossed, forming a fresh stream among the students.

Why are there no chairs? Won’t your knees hurt if you sit in this kneeling position for a long time?
Muchen's eccentricity naturally attracted the attention of the middle-aged lecturer, but he didn't say anything. He was a friend of His Highness the Great Zhou, so he just turned a blind eye.

When the discussion of the source pattern began, Muchen practiced it in his mind while listening.

"It's really clever to release the power of the soul in the form of source patterns. However, it takes different degrees of time to carve the source patterns. Not everyone can complete the carving of the source patterns instantly. This will become a flaw in battle." Xiao Diao said with interest.

In the martial arts world, mental power is often used in direct attacks, condensing into a sharp shape, or controlling sharp weapons to carry out defensive attacks. Many times, it can catch the opponent off guard, making it difficult to defend against.

"After the soul reaches the realm of transformation, it can condense into a soul flame that specifically harms the soul. It is very overbearing. Without special means to protect the soul, it will be burned to ashes in an instant." Mu Chen said in his heart.

His soul is now in the late Void Realm. Although he has not mastered the source pattern, he can rely on the soul impact to make the soul of the early and middle Void Realm vibrate for a period of time. In battle, even a pause of a few seconds is the key to victory.

Su Youwei listened in distress. It was the first time she came into contact with the knowledge of source patterns, so what the lecturer said was like a heavenly book and she could not understand much.

Suddenly I felt so useless. A small source pattern could be composed of so many source traces. Just looking at it made me dizzy.

"!"

Zhou Yuan listened carefully, clenched his fists, and didn't blink. For him who couldn't open his meridians, the source pattern might be the way for him to change his fate. Unlike Su Youwei who was confused, he could understand and didn't want to miss a single word of the lecturer.

The lecturer naturally noticed it and sighed in his heart, worthy of being the prince of the Great Zhou, he listened really seriously, which made him feel proud and gratified. What a pity, if the prince could open the meridians, he would definitely make a big splash.

Since Zhou Yuan was so interested, the lecturer did not hide anything and explained it in more detail.

Muchen opened his mouth. He was already middle-aged, but why did this lecturer give him such a passionate feeling, as if he was about to be ignited?

Is this what youthful rejuvenation is?

"Brother Chen, can you understand?" Su Youwei asked in a low voice, with distress on her little face.

Even if the lecturer explained it in more detail and clarity than before, Su Youwei would only remember very little.

"It's okay. Youwei, if you don't understand, just listen to it more or less. Not everyone can become a master of source patterns. Just remember some basic source patterns." Mu Chen said.

It seems that Su Youwei's comprehension of source patterns is not as good as that of the source master. Quality is more important than quantity. Learning too many things will often affect other aspects of one's self.

When the instructor finished speaking and asked the students to start practicing, many of them had bitter looks on their faces. Basically, their spiritual realm had not reached the Void Realm, so after practicing once, their spiritual power was almost consumed.

The light of Muchen's soul bloomed between his brows, and relying on his soul in the late Void Realm, after practicing several times, he easily carved the several source patterns mentioned by the lecturer on the jade plate, and there was still a lot of soul power left.

He can now carve the third level, all he needs is the guidance of a famous teacher, so these few introductory source patterns do not consume any energy.

The Bull Pattern can increase strength, the Light Body Pattern can increase agility and speed, and the Iron Skin Pattern can enhance the toughness of the skin, that is, defense. Activating the power of the three source patterns can allow a person without open meridians to have a handicap with a person who has opened one or two meridians.

Therefore, the power of source patterns should not be underestimated. In the early stage, they may not be as popular as source masters, but the higher the grade of source pattern masters, the more popular they will be. No matter where they are, they will be treated as guests of honor.

The source pattern is profound and extensive. The higher the grade, the more astonishing the power it displays.

"Brother Chen, you are so fast, can you teach me?" Su Youwei said in surprise, with admiration in her eyes.

"This is about proficiency, not speed!"

Mu Chen's face darkened. Don't say something that could be easily misunderstood.

When Su Youwei was painting, he was giving instructions from the side, and finally she managed to carve out these introductory source patterns. When Su Youwei saw the finished product, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Yuan's carving is much more proficient than Muchen's. Since he has no way to open his meridians, he focuses on learning the source patterns, and has already surpassed most of the students.

The lecturer nodded, there were still a few good candidates who could carve these source patterns.

However, he, who was in the middle stage of the Void Realm, could not feel Muchen's spiritual realm, which made him very puzzled.

He would only think that Muchen had a special treasure that could prevent others from snooping, and he would not believe that Muchen's spiritual realm at such a young age could be higher than that of a middle-aged man like him.
