Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 634 Opening the Meridians, Breaking Through the Third Rank

The night is deep, and the stars are sparse.

Outside the wilderness, tall trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the occasional low hooting of owls could be heard from among the branches.

Moonlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of hazy beauty to the darkness.

Yaro sat cross-legged on a flat boulder outside the tent, closed his eyes and focused his mind, sinking into his dantian to sense the abundant internal energy within.

There was a warning array for the night watch, and his main task was to check the body.

Just today, while teaching Bevin the Cloud Robe Crossing Void Technique, Yaro suddenly had a strange feeling.

He felt that his dantian had been successfully nourished and he was ready to break through!

To put it more precisely, it's like wanting to eat when you're hungry or wanting to sleep when you're tired; it's more like your body instinctively urging you to do something after being idle for too long.

There is a power accumulating in the dantian, waiting to be released!

"But I clearly didn't do any design work in this area, will there be any problem?"

Ya Luo carefully felt his dantian and examined it meticulously based on the acupoint knowledge in the "Mending the Heavens Technique" and the "Heavenly Heart Technique".

After several tests, Yaro realized the crux of the problem.

"It's due to the influence of the parameters of the true meaning of martial arts!"

When Yaro first designed the dantian, he simply chose the most suitable location to store and transport the contents throughout the body, which is below the navel, based on the structure of the human body.

The dantian design concept is like getting a tattoo on a certain part of the body; it's a mechanical, external modification.

However, with the addition of the true essence of martial arts, the situation changes once emotions can influence the flow of internal energy.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is an academic term called "internal injury from the seven emotions," which refers to anger injuring the liver, joy injuring the heart, worry injuring the spleen, grief injuring the lungs, fear injuring the kidneys, and so on.

Emotions are like dynamic adjustment parameters in machining. Although they are not fixed parts of the machine, but variables such as temperature, pressure or speed, they can affect the operating state of the entire system in real time.

Yalu linked the "Heaven-Mending Technique" with emotions. Although it was an unintentional act, it effectively incorporated the artificial energy heart of the 'Dantian' into the 'emotional regulation system,' elevating the 'Dantian' to the same level as the five internal organs.

From then on, the dantian was no longer an external entity in the body, but rather a sixth organ among the five internal organs, acquired through cultivation.

The resulting impact is multifaceted.

For example, the flow of internal energy is no longer mechanical and rigid, but rather adjusts freely according to changes in emotions, just like the rise and fall of rivers with the seasons, which is more in line with the body's natural laws.

At the same time, the dantian, as the sixth organ, forms a complete energy cycle with the five organs. Just like a house has an extra load-bearing main pillar, it significantly reduces the pressure on the other five pillars, thereby greatly enhancing the overall pressure resistance of the internal organs.

It's not without its downsides, though.

Because the dantian is interconnected with the five internal organs, they are now completely interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity. If any organ is damaged, it will inevitably affect the efficiency of the dantian's operation.

In other words, if internal organs are injured, it will affect one's ability to perform.

In severe cases, it could even lead to a permanent decline in internal energy!

The reverse is also true!

If the dantian is severely damaged, it will also affect the internal organs, causing a decline in strength and chronic illness!

"However, such consequences are not unbearable."

"The reason why internal organ injuries lead to a loss of strength is because the dantian bears an extra portion of the damage for the internal organs. It is like a damage reduction bF, turning serious injuries into minor injuries and minor injuries into minor injuries." "As for the reverse, if the dantian drags down the internal organs, at worst, the dantian can be completely abolished, allowing the body to restore the five internal organs' operating system. Once the external injury to the dantian has fully healed, it can be rebuilt from scratch."

Having figured out the reason, Yaro put his worries aside.

Just as an overactive heart leads to elation and irritability, an overactive liver leads to anger and irritability, and an overactive lung leads to sadness and worry...

At this moment, Yaluo's dantian, filled with internal energy, spread to his five internal organs, thus having a holistic effect on his emotions.

The solution is simple: either reduce the intake of life-giving magical plants to decrease the amount of internal energy stored in the dantian.

Alternatively, one could strive to break through as soon as possible, thus creating a suitable outlet for the dantian.

That is, to unblock the meridians!

Yaro naturally chose to break through.

This breakthrough is different from the usual nurturing and internal energy guidance.

Regular nurturing is laying the foundation, and it can slowly guide the internal energy to grow, just like creating a magical long balloon.

A breakthrough is like inflating a long, narrow magic balloon.

The best way is not to blow the whole thing in one go, but to blow a small amount of air to make a small bulge, and then push the bulge forward gradually.

Moreover, the power here is not from the hands, but from the pushing force of the dantian. This tests the details of the dantian structure and one's mental strength.

Furthermore, if the meridians are not properly nourished, when internal energy is channeled in, the meridians will develop openings, causing the internal energy to flow erratically into the body, leading to qi deviation and demonic possession.

Based on these two, the next thing is the reserve of internal energy. However, insufficient internal energy reserves will not cause too serious consequences. At most, it will just lead to insufficient strength and failure to break through.

Yaro's wealth was naturally very substantial.

Internal energy is also a type of magic. With mental energy close to that of a high-level wizard apprentice, Yaro can naturally control his internal energy precisely. He can even sense Bevin's dantian condition by using the internal energy that slowly flows through the meridians, even when the meridians are not open.

At the same time, he has been training since childhood, never slacking off, and has also added more than ten skill points to several attributes of his body, which has basically brought him to the limit of his current physique.

Moreover, there is a constant supply of magical plants to nourish the body, resulting in an extremely rapid increase in internal energy.

Even setting aside all of the above, just considering the meridians, he had also practiced the earliest modified version of martial arts, "Qi and Blood Frenzy".

It's just one step away from successfully building the core of vitality.

According to existing martial arts theory, the book "Qi and Blood Frenzy" is about using external techniques to train the meridians from the outside in.

Following the example of the magic long balloon, the external martial arts movements are roughly like squeezing bubbles with your hands. It uses body movements to assist the flow of internal energy within the meridians, passively nourishing and expanding them.

All these conditions came together, coupled with Yaro's familiarity with meridians and acupoints.

With almost the slightest thought, internal energy originates from the dantian, travels through the Qihai acupoint, ascends along the Ren meridian to the Tiantu acupoint, then horizontally to the Quepen acupoint, and then along the Hand Yangming Large Intestine meridian through the Binao, Shouwuli, Quchi, Yangxi acupoints to the Hegu acupoint...

"Huh? That's it?"

Yaro felt the internal energy flowing smoothly from his dantian to his arms, and thought to himself:

"So, I'm considered a third-rate expert now?"

The whole process went so smoothly that it was unbelievable to him.

But when all conditions are fully met... or even far exceeded, breakthroughs are that simple.
