Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

"Anyway, I have the Wings of Holy Light and my own little light elf wife. No matter how much I play around, I won't kill myself. So I'll rely on myself. Only I am the most trustworthy person!"

Just do it.

However, Ye Qing did not immediately embark on his self-destructive journey. Instead, he planned to explore other meditation methods and cultivation techniques to broaden his horizons and avoid taking unnecessary detours.

for the rest of the time.

Ye Qing spent his evenings cultivating, his days training his mental strength in the Fear Dragon Training Room, and his afternoons training thoroughly for two hours using the gravity field. After taking a bath, he would spend one or two hours in the inner courtyard library to broaden his horizons.

The days of laziness before the age of six, when I was unable to cultivate, are gone forever.

It seems that because he slacked off too much before the age of six, he became more and more tired and fulfilled year by year after becoming a Soul Master.

The mess they made back then has all been made up for now.

But Ye Qing wasn't one to talk big. Once he had mentally prepared himself to rely on himself rather than ask others for help, he had no intention of giving up. Occasionally taking a break and relaxing was a good thing; a tense body and mind always needed some space to unwind.

But if he just goes with the flow and tries to steal Huo Yuhao's opportunities, and then goes around flirting with other women, then what's the difference between him and a good-for-nothing?

"It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help!"

……

On the other side, Beibei also successfully absorbed the dark gold dinosaur claw bear's right arm bone.

There is a difference between the external metacarpal bone and the right arm soul bone. Even the soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is just a normal soul bone in the right arm bone position. Although it is somewhat painful to absorb, there is no danger.

External soul bones are different. These are essentially deeply bound to a soul master's body and martial soul, allowing them to grow alongside the soul master and not fall off upon death after complete fusion.

It's equivalent to becoming a complete part of the Soul Master.

Therefore, the difficulty of fusing an external soul bone is definitely not comparable to that of a normal soul bone, which is why Beibei was able to absorb this right arm bone.

If it were an external soul bone, Bei Bei would have become Yang Guo long ago.

This right arm soul bone did indeed bring great improvement to Beibei, not only allowing him to unleash the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's signature ability, Dark Gold Terrorclaw, but also, because he was a lightning attribute soul master, it came with the penetrating and explosive characteristics of lightning attribute soul power.

Calling it 'Thunder Claw' would also be quite appropriate.

After obtaining this soul bone, Beibei's physical attributes also improved significantly. Finally, at the end of the nearly month-long soul hunting campaign, he absorbed a Thunder Tyrannosaurus Soul Ring with a lifespan of 5,500 years.

Third Soul Skill: Thunderous Fury.

It greatly enhances soul power, attributes, and physical strength, making it a standard soul skill for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul.

As for soul power level.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw right arm bone increased his soul power by more than two levels, the Thunder Tyrannosaurus from 5,500 years ago increased his soul power by more than one level, and with the normal boost from absorbing the soul ring, Bei Bei directly reached level 35.

"Ye Qing, you brat, I've finally caught up with you! Aa ...

Chapter 42 Circuits, Progress, Hidden Pulses

In one month, Ye Qing had basically read through all the meditation methods that Shrek Academy had preserved.

There were naturally no obstacles in this process, since he had already seen even Shrek Academy's highest-level meditation method, not to mention the other lower-level meditation methods, which he could easily browse through.

However, while browsing through the pages, Ye Qing discovered something else.

That is, the highest level of meditation is not necessarily the most complex. Perhaps, overall, the Shrek Meditation Method that he is currently practicing involves the most meridians and can circulate the largest number of times within the body.

However, some less advanced or even intermediate meditation methods are more complex in certain parts of the body.

For example, a particular limb might be developed more fully, or some peripheral meridians within the body might be utilized in Shrek meditation.

There are only two reasons why that Shrek senior didn't utilize those meridians when 'compiling' the Shrek Meditation Method.

First of all, the emasculated Xuan Tian Gong doesn't have these meridians operating methods. As a classic Douluo Continent adopter, the Shrek predecessor certainly didn't modify the Xuan Tian Gong too much.

Perhaps in their eyes, what Tang San 'created' was already the most perfect. They, as mere mortals, had no possibility of surpassing the Sea God, so they didn't bother to modify or even complete it.

As for the second reason, it's also quite simple.

More complex things are not necessarily better. The more complex a meditation method is, the fewer people will be able to learn it. This does not conform to Shrek Academy's concept of 'teaching and nurturing people'. A good meditation method is one that can be successfully practiced by most people.

Shrek Academy doesn't have a complex meditation method that can be used to cultivate geniuses.

Therefore, Ye Qing felt that the first possibility was more likely.

Even the native Douluo Continent people, who struggle with creating their own soul skills, are somewhat burdened with modifying the Xuan Tian Gong that Tang San had castrated.

However, these secondary and intermediate, and even some low-level meditation methods, all of which explored the meridian circulation routes, provided some assistance to Ye Qing.

This is what is meant by broadening one's horizons.

If you only know the major circulation method, and you have seen many detailed circulation methods in the peripheral parts, you can basically deduce the detailed circulation methods of other parts of the body.

For example, this Level 1 meditation method explored parts of the left arm that the Shrek meditation method did not cover. Therefore, we can infer the right arm from the left arm and try to build another cycle in the right arm using the same operating method.

It's important to know that, apart from the internal organs which are asymmetrical, other parts of the human body, such as nerves, blood vessels, meridians, and bones, are basically symmetrical.

Just copy and paste.

Although none of these meditation methods involved important areas such as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Regular Meridians, they gave Ye Qing a deeper understanding of the flow of soul power in the meridians.

As a tech whiz with dual extreme attributes, his meridians were naturally not blocked; it's just that many of them were unused and had not been nourished by soul power.

While watching these meditation techniques, Ye Qing would often stop his own Shrek meditation and then use these lower-level and mid-level meditation techniques to expand and nourish the meridians that had not been used before.

It must have been quite painful at first.

When soul power flows through those undeveloped meridians, it's like having an embroidery needle or even a thick iron wire drilling into your flesh under your skin.

But as the saying goes...

At first it was narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

These undeveloped meridians are like delicate, half-undressed flowers waiting for Ye Qing to modify and pamper them. Each time a hidden meridian is nurtured and developed, although it cannot bring Ye Qing an improvement in soul power, the improvement in physical fitness is visible to the naked eye.

Once Ye Qing can connect them together, and finally open up the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians, completing the maximum internal circulation of the Great Heavenly Cycle, his cultivation technique will be fully accomplished.

Of course, this situation can also occur if it's not properly controlled...

puff-

A wisp of soul power ruptured a meridian, causing a small blood flower to bloom on Ye Qing's forearm. However, Ye Qing's heart remained unmoved. He pressed the wound expressionlessly, and the Wings of Light on his back released healing abilities, completely healing the ruptured meridians and flesh.

He'd experienced this kind of thing many times; in that month, it had exploded at least dozens of times, if not hundreds.

To meticulously control soul power to cultivate and nourish those hidden meridians is an incredibly difficult task.

If Ye Qing didn't possess a healing soul skill, he wouldn't dare to play like this.

The Wings of Light absorbed the extremely rich light and life force of the Golden Tree, then transformed it into healing energy that fell upon his arm. His injured area quickly recovered without leaving a single scar.

Having gone through those experiences before, Ye Qing's pain tolerance has greatly increased. Whether it's the stinging pain of opening up the meridians or the excruciating pain after the meridians explode, in his opinion, it's not much more painful than being bitten by a mosquito.

This is the most direct feeling brought about by the improvement of mental strength and willpower.

"Sigh, the progress is too slow." Ye Qing wiped the blood from his hands and sighed softly.

For a month, apart from looking at various meditation meridian diagrams, he could only aimlessly expand and nourish the hidden meridians he had discovered, without doing anything else.

Because he simply couldn't do it.

Based on the Shrek Meditation Method, he didn't even establish a new soul power circuit; the Shrek Meditation Method remained unchanged.

That makes sense, though.

If the problem of the Xuan Tian Gong's castration, which no one in Douluo Continent has solved for ten thousand years, is actually developed by him in just one month, wouldn't that make the soul masters of Douluo Continent seem like useless trash?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt much more at ease.

"It's only been a month, what's the rush? Didn't you already prepare yourself mentally for a long time to work on this?" Ye Qing thought to himself, and the anxiety he had felt due to the lack of progress subsided.

Yes, we can't rush it. The cultivation method is the foundation of cultivation, and it can't be accomplished overnight.

The progress made in just one month is already quite impressive.

After calming down, Ye Qing thought of something else.

Since there's no way to add a new soul power circuit to the Shrek Meditation Method, let's just put this matter aside and focus on developing the hidden meridians in our bodies!

Chapter 43: Prison Leaf Elbow Strike!

The meridians in the human body are essentially a unique type of blood vessel that is completely interconnected, transporting the blood that nourishes the martial spirit—soul power.

According to this calculation, there is actually no such thing as visible or hidden meridians, because the meridians are always there; it's just that you haven't paid attention to them at all.

By following the circuit, attaching mental energy to the path of the flowing soul power, and carefully examining each section of the meridians, one can always find those meridians where the soul power has not flowed in.

Even without a water pipe, it can still function as a water conveyor simply by filling it with water.

Even if enough time is spent finding all the meridians in the human body and unblocking them, it is just a gradual process.

Even if this method cannot speed up cultivation, it can greatly enhance physical strength during the process of nourishing the meridians, and the developed meridians can store more soul power than ordinary soul masters.

Moreover, in the process of opening up and nourishing the meridians, Ye Qing can continuously train his ability to control his soul power, improve his use of mental power, and enhance his mental strength.

Get more in one fell swoop.

This is a plan that is well worth the time to implement and can bring Ye Qing many benefits.
