Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

"That's really special!"

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, the sadness on his face faded a bit, which made Dugu Yan even more curious.

"What's so special about it?" Dugu Yan pressed.

Dugu Bo smiled mysteriously: "Guess what level this kid is in right now?"

Recalling the events of the day, and based on the strength Yu Tiancheng displayed when he brutally beat Xue Beng, Dugu Yan gave an estimate: "Level 14? Or 15!?"

This was the best answer she could imagine.

She herself was only level 11 when she was 7 years old, so the guess of level 15 was already hard for her to accept.

However, Dugu Bo didn't let her guess any further, stating directly, "Level 18!"

"Level 18!!" Dugu Yan exclaimed incredulously, then pressed, "Grandpa, are you sure he's really 7 years old? Is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret technique that powerful?"

"He doesn't rely on secret techniques, but it will be even faster once he has them. Moreover, his soul power level is probably just the least special of this child's many special qualities!" Dugu Bo couldn't help but show a sigh as he said this.

"Is there anything else special about it?" Dugu Yan quickly asked.

She believed that since her grandfather had spoken, he wouldn't lie to her, so her curiosity was completely piqued.

Dugu Bo, however, revealed a mysterious, even slightly mischievous smile: "It wouldn't be interesting to tell you! You can discover it for yourself in your future cultivation!"

Dugu Yan was immediately furious and kept asking her grandfather questions.

But Dugu Bo was determined not to reveal any more information. He simply told her to go to the Thunder Mimicry Training Ground the next day at noon, and then slipped away.

Although Dugu Yan was annoyed, she had no choice but to wait with great curiosity until noon the next day.

She found an excuse to separate from Ye Lingling and then went to the simulation training ground.

As soon as I arrived at the agreed location, I ran into my grandfather.

Dugu Yan snorted at him irritably and rolled her eyes.

Dugu Bo simply smiled slightly, said nothing, and led his sulking granddaughter towards a cultivation room, pushing open the door and walking in.

Upon entering the cultivation room, Dugu Yan's gaze was immediately drawn to the figure cultivating on the bed.

What shocked her was the noise the man made while cultivating.

He was surrounded by electric light, which was terrifying to look at.

Under the flashes of lightning, the network of blood vessels beneath his skin was clearly visible, as if liquid lightning was surging within him.

After carefully examining the person several times, Dugu Yan finally confirmed that it was indeed Yu Tiancheng.

"Grandpa, is this the secret cultivation method you mentioned?!" Dugu Yan asked softly, afraid of disturbing the other's cultivation.

Dugu Bo nodded with a somewhat strange expression.

Although he had witnessed it once that morning, seeing the terrifying scene of cultivation again still shocked him, and he secretly marveled at what a little monster it was.

Upon receiving confirmation from her grandfather, Dugu Yan was astonished; this child was indeed special.

Others cultivate quietly, but he makes such a commotion when he cultivates!

At this moment, the lightning on Yu Tiancheng's body gradually weakened and dissipated, clearly indicating that he had sensed the arrival of the two and was slowly withdrawing his power.

A moment later, the lightning completely disappeared, and Yu Tiancheng opened his eyes, stood up and greeted the two of them: "Grandpa Dugu, Sister Yanzi, you've arrived."

After responding softly, Dugu Bo took out the prepared meal from his treasure pouch and placed it on the table.

This was clearly something Yu Tiancheng had instructed him to do beforehand.

"Let's eat and talk!" Yu Tiancheng had been cultivating since morning and was starving, so he sat down and started eating without any hesitation.

While eating, he explained the details of the dual cultivation that would take place later.

"Sister Yanzi, there's not much for you to do. Once the lightning attribute energy has circulated in your blood to a very weak level, try to absorb it into your meridians and let it flow within them."

However, lightning attribute is incompatible with you, so don't absorb too much; just enough to temper your meridians!

"What are meridians?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.

He was so focused on bringing the two together that he forgot Yu Tiancheng's instructions.

"Uh..." Yu Tiancheng glanced at Dugu Bo's expression and immediately understood, so he had no choice but to patiently explain:

"The meridians are the channels through which your soul power flows within your body when you use soul skills. Have you paid attention to the routes of your soul power when using soul skills?"

"Oh, is that it? I've noticed it before!" Dugu Yan nodded.

"It's good that you've noticed it. We can talk about the importance and function of meridians in detail later. Today, we'll just talk about how to train your meridians."

Since meridians are the channels through which soul power circulates, the wider and more resilient they are, the higher their capacity to withstand pressure and the higher their efficiency in outputting soul power...

Yu Tiancheng had long ago discovered that the people of Douluo Continent had very limited ways of cultivating their meridians, basically only two passive methods and one active method.

Two passive methods:

Firstly, as one grows older and one's soul power level increases, the meridians naturally strengthen.

Secondly, when absorbing high-age soul rings or soul bones, the enormous energy will forcefully impact and expand the meridian channels.

The only active method is also crude: through frequent battles and repeated release of soul skills, soul power is repeatedly washed through the meridians to forge some of them.

After Yu Tiancheng's explanation, Dugu Yan felt as if a door to a new world had opened before her, and a completely new path of cultivation was unfolding before her.

"This...this must be your family's core secret!? No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is ranked among the top three clans!" Dugu Yan exclaimed sincerely.

Before Yu Tiancheng could speak, Dugu Bo suddenly interjected, denying it: "No! This has nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family! This is Tiancheng's own discovery!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan stared at Yu Tiancheng in disbelief.

Yu Tiancheng simply smiled slightly, stood up, and said in a tone reminiscent of Versailles, "Just some insignificant discovery."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt a sudden urge to hit someone, for some reason.

She looked at her grandfather and noticed that his expression seemed to be fluctuating as well. She felt that her grandfather was probably thinking the same thing at that moment.

Yu Tiancheng seemed oblivious to their strange behavior and walked straight to the bed, saying:

"Actually, the most direct way to understand the meridians is through personal experience. If you practice along with my rhythm once, you will naturally understand."

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, suppressing a trace of unease in her heart, and sat down cross-legged with her back to Yu Tiancheng as instructed.

Sitting behind Dugu Yan, Yu Tiancheng reached out his right hand and pressed it against the back of her chest.

"Close your eyes and relax your mind. Don't resist my guidance," Yu Tiancheng said in a calm voice.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on sensing the changes.

She felt the hand pressing on her back, a faint vibration coming from it, followed by a tingling sensation penetrating her body.
