Chapter 51: Acupoints

Gu Yi naturally had no idea that the letter he sent to Qian Renxue had already been read by another woman. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Right now, he was still diligently working on creating the path of the physical body in the back mountains.

After completing the Fa Jin cultivation, improving the body's quality was much more simpler compared to before. A single punch was equivalent to exerting force throughout the entire body, which was excellent for physical training, but it wasn't the effect Gu Yi desired. This wasn't the path to a powerful physical body, at least not yet.

There were more realms in martial arts beyond Fa Jin, each equally powerful and mysterious. However, Gu Yi didn't intend to study them in a conventional manner. Perhaps in some unknown world, diligent study and practice were necessary for martial arts progress, but here, he had his own unique method.

Gu Yi released his martial spirit within himself but didn't use his own spirit power. Every acupoint became clear as day. His understanding of the body had already reached a profound level. Since he couldn't reproduce all the realms of martial arts in a short time, he would achieve perfect mastery of acupoints through meridians. This realm required an understanding of martial arts beyond ordinary comprehension. However, Gu Yi intended to forcefully reach this realm.

After practicing martial spirit cultivation, he had some control over it. Compared to other martial practitioners who needed to patiently locate acupoints, he was different. The meridians all over his body allowed him to understand every inch of his body clearly.

Directly circulating Qi through the meridians and driving the blood circulation, ending with the Yongquan point[1] on the sole of the foot, although his blood and energy had not yet manifested in the form of energy, but his body was strong, and the blood and energy could still condense.

However, Gu Yi felt that condensing blood and energy was somewhat difficult. Even with his current physical fitness, the speed of blood and energy condensation was no faster than the speed of a tortoise's. Various acupoints in the body had different functions; for example theleg acupoints could bestow upon the person the speed of the "Speed God".

As the blood and energy arrived, the long-sealed acupoint slowly opened. But this process was even slower than condensing blood and energy.

It was like the heavens and the earth didn't want the acupoints to exist. However, through brute forcing it, Gu Yi could feel that the acupoints was continuously opening due to the influx of blood and energy. Moreover, as the blood and energy poured in, he even felt a slight itch in his right leg. After all the blood and energy had poured in, this acupoint still hadn't completely opened.

Before he could carefully feel it, a feeling of weakness struck his brain. Oops, it seems he had utilize an excessive amount of his blood and energy. Blood and energy were vital to a person. A deficit in blood and energy could be fatal.

Gu Yi's figure flickered, and soon he hunted a wild boar, not a spirit beast, just an ordinary beast. He deliciously devoured the entire wild boar, and as he was devouring it, he was also circulating his meridians, digesting the food in his body, which would then be transformed into blood and energy to fill the void in his body.

At this moment, Flender also heard about the confrontation between Yu Xiaogang and Gu Yi. Before, he naively thought that there would be a lot of topics for conversation between Gu Yi and Yu Xiaogang since they were both knowledgeable people. But unexpectedly, it seems that enmity still existed among scholars.

Flender couldn't and didn't want to intervene, after all both of them were the people closest to him.

Gu Yi's relationship with him was complicated; after he was his's adopted son. And not only had he brought many changes to the academy which was his's life greatest creation but he was also generous enough to share his own self-created spirit skills in order to help strengthen the academy.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, was one of the closest friend he had in his entire life, and more importantly, the person he liked also liked Yu Xiaogang.

He was a little dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang because of this matter. And in the end, he chose silence.

Tang San sat by the teacher's bed, contemplating Gu Yi's words. Although Gu Yi's words couldn't be verified, his's instincts was telling him that they were correct.

After some time, Yu Xiaogang awoke from his coma, as he was a spirit master after all. Upon waking up and seeing Tang San by his bedside, he seemed to recall Gu Yi's words and eagerly grabbed Tang San's hand.

"Little San, believe in your teacher. Your teacher will definitely make you the strongest Titled Douluo." After a lifetime of research, there couldn't be any problems since Tang San had indeed grown under his guidance.

"Teacher, I believe in you." Tang San had profound respect for Yu Xiaogang; how could he doubt his teacher? To strengthen the Blue Silver Grass to this extent was already quite good. And Tang San had never heard of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat relieved by Tang San's trust. All these years of teaching hadn't been in vain. He refused to believe that, with the knowledge of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Martial Spirit Hall, he would lose to a child who had grown up in Shrek Academy.

For over ten days, Gu Yi had been studying acupoints in the backyard. By turning himself into a skin-and-bones figure several times, he had finally opened the acupoints located on both legs. Now his speed was as fast as lightning, and by relying on physical movement alone, he could match one-third of his previous speed. Moreover, the strength in his legs had increased by half. With the assistance of spirit power and body techniques, he could double his original speed.

But Gu Yi had a headache as he encountered a serious problem. There were countless tiny acupoints all over the human body. Although he could sense all of them, he simply didn't have enough blood and energy to open them all. It was like having a treasure mountain but being unable to take anything from it.

Gu Yi looked up at the sky, feeling that developing acupoints was abnormally difficult. He wasn't just an ordinary person but a powerful Spirit King. His physical strength was comparable to ordinary spirit saints, not that he could defeat spirit saints with his physical body, but his physical fitness could match theirs. Even with such a body, it was still unimaginably slow.

But at least he had successfully pioneered a new path of cultivation. And he still had plenty of time left, so he could take it slowly. It would still take one or two years before he would be fully exposed to the world, which was enough time.

On the other hand, Qian Renxue had finally received the letter that had already been read once. She looked at the letter with its highly personalized handwriting and opened it without hesitation.

.....

After reading the letter, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed tightly, and her mood was obviously not as good as before. However, she didn't get angry, as she still held the letter in her hand.

The table, which had been replaced not long ago, fortunately escaped being destroyed.

Putting the letter back into the envelope, she placed it in a small box, which contained five or six more letters. And all of them had the same handwriting.

"I want to see if the person you mentioned is really that powerful. After all that woman is not that easy to deal with."

Glossary:

[1]Yongquan Point- The Yongquan point, also known as Kidney 1 or Bubbling Spring, is a vital acupressure point in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and martial arts. Located on the sole of the foot, it's considered the starting point of the Kidney meridian, which is one of the twelve primary meridians in the body. In martial arts, practitioners often focus on the Yongquan point for stability, balance, and grounding. By rooting oneself through the Yongquan point, martial artists can enhance their connection to the ground, improve their stance, and generate power more efficiently in techniques like punches, kicks, and stances.
