Chapter 526 The Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Open!

"Ah, sleeping on this floor is really not very comfortable."

When the sun was high in the sky, Chen Ping finally got up from his makeshift bed on the floor of the dormitory and rubbed his eyes groggily.

The dormitory room of Ning Tian and Wu Feng had a unique, sweet fragrance, and it seemed that this was not the first time Chen Ping had spent a night in their room together.

Just last time during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, he punched the Soul Arena so hard it shook, scaring his opponent into withdrawing from the competition. He was so exhausted that Ning Tian and Wu Feng carried him to their room and he slept there for two days and one night.

Perhaps because yesterday they had prepared a big meal and held a tea party, sharing their different experiences over the past two years all night long, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng were curled up in bed, sleeping soundly, just like two kittens.

He pulled the blankets tighter around them, and just as Chen Ping was about to reach out and pinch Ning Tian's cheek, he met Ning Tian's gaze as Ning Tian groggily opened his eyes.

"Awake? You can sleep a little longer. I'll go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast. You can get up when I get back."

As he spoke, Chen Ping reached out and ruffled Ning Tian's hair.

"Bah"

Ning Tian wanted to say something, but her body, which had just woken up after staying up all night, made her unable to speak for a moment. She could only manage a soft hum before tilting her head back to sleep.

She'd only slept for three or four hours at most; she needed to take another nap. She'd had too much fun last night.

Pushing open the dormitory door, Chen Ping took a deep breath before circulating his soul power again to check his physical condition.

After just one night's rest, Chen Ping could clearly feel that the disordered meridians in his body, which had been disrupted by the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument, had returned to a much more normal state than before.

Judging from this situation, the cooldown time for his use of the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument is estimated to be around three days.

With the Life-Carving Knife repairing the damage caused by the massive influx of soul power into the meridians, the interval he needs to use the Nine Transformations Soul Instrument is only one-tenth that of an ordinary soul master.

This was definitely a pleasant surprise for him; who wouldn't love getting a trump card for free?

But soon Chen Ping realized something quite strange: he didn't seem to be very weak.

Well, if it were possible, naturally no one would willingly make themselves weak, especially not someone like Chen Ping, who might encounter several murders every time he goes out.

However, if Chen Ping remembered correctly, a Soul Master who uses the Martial Soul True Body should theoretically enter a weakened state for up to a week, with all Martial Soul attributes decreasing by half and combat power dropping sharply.

At this moment, apart from some dislocation in his limbs, Chen Ping didn't really feel the weakness caused by the decline in all attributes. Moreover, Chen Ping was even quite certain that if the situation were really urgent, he could still unleash all his combat power from last night.

No, no
As Chen Ping walked towards the cafeteria, he looked thoughtful.

Last night, neither he nor Dai Huabin seemed to have displayed their true Martial Soul forms.

According to the original novel, once a Soul Master uses their Martial Soul True Body, they can use all Soul Skills below the seventh ring for thirty minutes without restriction, except for the Martial Soul True Body itself.

Furthermore, the power of these soul skills will be 150% of their original value. Moreover, depending on the individual's martial soul, different soul masters will receive additional boosts during their martial soul true form state. For example, Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear martial soul will receive an additional 200% increase in defense during its true form state.

That's why Zhao Wuji was able to survive Erming's slap back then, and even after only staggering back seven or eight steps, he managed to regain his footing.

This was partly due to the Titan Giant Ape Erming holding back, but more importantly, it was because the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul itself provided a defensive boost, helping Zhao Wuji withstand the damage that he would otherwise have been unable to withstand.

As for Chen Ping, when he activated his own Martial Soul True Body, he did not feel that all his Soul Skills were additionally enhanced or that the Soul Skill cooldowns were cleared. This may be the fundamental reason why he did not feel the strong sense of weakness after using the Martial Soul True Body.
Putting this doubt to rest for the time being, Chen Ping once again circulated his soul power, completing a small cycle within his body.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he controlled his soul power and circulated it through a small cycle.

This time, Chen Ping couldn't stay calm at all. He sat down under the golden ancient tree, cross-legged, and seriously circulated his energy for a whole cycle.

"Your cultivation speed has increased again?"

Chen Ping's tone was tinged with shock. Wasn't he already at the level of having full innate soul power?
Soon, Chen Ping released his spiritual power, completely covering his body, and a clear diagram of soul power circulation formed in his mind.

After completing another full cycle, he finally figured out the fundamental reason why his soul power circulation speed had increased again.

Within his body, a strange meridian, which runs through his entire body but is invisible and intangible, has been completely opened up at some unknown time.

As Chen Ping's soul power circulated within him, it flowed along with him, as if an extra soul power flow valve had been opened, giving him an additional 10% boost to his cultivation speed.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians!

Subconsciously, Chen Ping thought of these four words, these four words that are known to all.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, the so-called eight extraordinary meridians are actually eight meridians that are already connected in the human body. Although these eight extraordinary meridians are naturally connected, they are only slightly connected, and internal energy cannot pass through them.

According to Tang San, in his previous life, the highest level that any internal martial arts master could reach could almost be measured by the number of times they opened up the eight extraordinary meridians.

Among the eight extraordinary meridians, the most important are naturally the Ren and Du meridians, which are likely to be heard of by everyone, from street vendors to laborers.

Besides these, the remaining six meridians among the eight extraordinary meridians are the Chong meridian, the Dai meridian, the Yang Wei meridian, the Yin Wei meridian, the Yin Qiao meridian, and the Yang Qiao meridian.

Just as it's better for Soul Masters to cultivate at a younger age, it's naturally easier to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at a younger age as well.

As we age, our bodies are affected by external factors, and the meridians within our bodies become increasingly stiff, making it more difficult to unblock them.

Although Chen Ping had not opened any of the Ren and Du meridians at this time, even if he had only opened one of the other six meridians, the benefits to Chen Ping would be immeasurable.

At this time, he already seemed to have a somewhat restrained and brilliant talent. He had opened his first extraordinary meridian at the age of seventeen, which was not early, but it was definitely not late either.

Chen Ping was pleasantly surprised by this. Not just anyone can open their own meridians by withstanding the pressure of a high-level Soul Master. Last year during the holiday, he withstood the pressure of Er Ming, but his meridians were not opened by chance.
