Chapter 616 Breaking Through to the Sixth Cla.s.s!
The sharp pain receded like a tide.
With the rapid recovery of the powerful life energy in the Vigor Gra.s.s, Fang Qiu’s last two unopened meridians were quickly repaired.
Meanwhile, in addition to the energy of life, another powerful stream of energy carried by the Vigor Gra.s.s directly poured into Fang Qiu’s meridians and merged with the internal Qi inside.
Due to the healing energy and the additional power, the internal Qi in Fang Qiu’s meridians became more violent. Nevertheless, with the mighty healing life energy, the internal Qi could no longer hurt Fang Qiu’s meridians and body no matter how wild they became.
A short while later, Fang Qiu felt that the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-shaoyang and the Stomach Meridian of Foot-yangming had been widened several times, which were as wide as all the meridians that had been reopened before.
By far, his 12 standard meridians had all been reopened!
With the re-opening of the last two meridians, Fang Qiu suddenly felt extremely lighthearted.
Before, these two meridians were like an intersection on the highway when the red light was on. Every time the internal Qi ran to these two meridians, it would slow down and even be jammed as these two meridians were too thin.
Now, once the two meridians were opened, the 12 standard meridians of Fang Qiu became a real highway, and the speed of the internal Qi running in them multiplied.
With such a large amount of internal Qi that could run so smoothly, from now on, every time Fang Qiu mobilized his internal Qi, he would do it faster than the last time. Since there was no obstruction to the flow of internal Qi, when using internal Qi to launch attacks, his attacks would be more powerful. In addition, after he broke through to the Sixth Cla.s.s, the internal Qi in his meridians became more abundant, so Fang Qiu’s offensive power was undoubtedly increased by several times!
“Hum?”
Just as Fang Qiu was enjoying the comfort and ease, he suddenly found that the two meridians that he had just reopened were completely healed!
After the powerful life energy of the Vigor Gra.s.s had completely repaired his meridians, the remaining part immediately ran along the 12 Standard Meridians of Fang Qiu’s body. While running, it consolidated the 12 standard meridians and enhanced the flexibility of the meridians.
“This is the power of the Vigor Gra.s.s!”
Fang Qiu was inwardly amazed.
“Sixth cla.s.s!”
Feeling the new power in his body, Fang Qiu took a deep breath.
Now, he did not pay much attention to the strength of power.
What he cared about was the improvement of his cultivation and the upgrading of realms.
Though he had re-cultivated to the sixth cla.s.s, he was still far away from having the two flowers in his Dantian.
Fang Qiu knew that the breakthrough this time was achieved by a sheer fluke. He naturally made it without any setback. But it would not be so simple to go from the sixth cla.s.s to the seventh cla.s.s.
To get to the sixth cla.s.s, he reopened all of his 12 standard meridians.
From the seventh cla.s.s on, what he needed to reopen was the Eight Extraordinary Meridians!
From ancient times until now, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were the most difficult to open.
Everyone who practiced martial arts knew that every single meridian in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians was very firm. Although Fang Qiu had already unclogged all these solid and blocked meridians before, now what he needed to do was reopen it.
It was already hard enough to even unclog them, let alone reopen them.
Though being well aware of knowing the difficulty, Fang Qiu decided to do so, because only after he reopened all his Eight Extraordinary Meridians could he break through to the real Guru Realm!
No one knew how long it had been.
When the remaining life energy completely consolidated the 12 standard meridians and dissipated, Fang Qiu finally completed the breakthrough.
He opened his eyes.
Fang Qiu found that there was no movement in the cave, and the 1,000 special soldiers were still making their own breakthrough.
His Divine Consciousness swept the place.
Fang Qiu immediately noticed that the period these 1,000 special warriors stayed in the martial arts pract.i.tioner stage was too short for their internal force to peak.
In this case, it was relatively more difficult to make a breakthrough.
Even Li Ji, who had already become a martial arts pract.i.tioner for quite a long time, hadn’t practiced his internal force to the extreme. Therefore, like everyone else, he didn’t take this opportunity to break through to the Martial Superior Level.
Fang Qiu quietly stood up.
He turned to look at the cave.
Under the fluctuation of his Divine Consciousness, he clearly felt that as his breakthrough was achieved, the large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered in the cave had started dissipating.
Once such rich Qi of Heaven and Earth completely dispersed, the 1,000 special warriors would not be able to break through.
Thinking of this, an idea came to Fang Qiu’s mind. He waved his hand at once.
“Great Hand of Destruction!” He yelled in his mind.
Fang Qiu decisively performed the Great Hand of Destruction and pulled back the Qi of Heaven and Earth that was about to scatter away. Then, he withdrew the Great Hand of Destruction, allowing the 1,000 special warriors to continue to absorb as much as they could.
After a long while, when the Qi of Heaven and Earth had almost dissipated, Fang Qiu cast the Great Hand of Destruction again and once more gathered a large amount of energy in the cave.
He did it over and over again.
Meanwhile, the 1,000 special forces were all making their breakthrough and gaining new enlightenment in an orderly manner.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth was repeatedly thinned and summoned over.
Fang Qiu couldn’t help sighing with emotion that he was a clever cheater!
Finally, after performing the Great Hand of Destruction several times—
“Swish.”
Li Ji, who was sitting not far away, stood bolt up with a look of surprise and excitement on his face. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at them for a long time before raising his head and looking at Fang Qiu with grat.i.tude.
Seeing this, Fang Qiu smiled back.
After that, before long, another soldier stood up.
He was the battalion chief of the special force, the one who took Fang Qiu through the three-day survival training in the desert.
Seeing him get up, Fang Qiu smiled.
Another Martial Superior had come into being!
Just as Fang Qiu smiled with satisfaction, the battalion chief, perhaps thrilled by the fact that he had broken through to the Martial Superior Level or overwhelmed by his powerful strength, couldn’t help but open his mouth and want to howl to the sky.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
At this, Fang Qiu rushed to the battalion chief, and directly covered the battalion chief’s mouth with his hand. He explained, “Don’t get excited. There are still many people who haven’t made the breakthrough. Don’t disturb them.”
At his warning, the battalion chief resisted the urge and nodded understandingly at Fang Qiu, who then withdrew his hand.
Soon after, another one stood up.
His case was the same as the battalion chief.
This time, Fang Qiu didn’t stop him, but the battalion chief came forward to cover his mouth in person.
Then, everyone began to protect the other soldiers spontaneously. Every time a soldier stood up after the successful breakthrough, he immediately looked at Fang Qiu, feeling the surging internal Qi in his body, eyes full of surprise and grat.i.tude.
More and more soldiers had made it.
In the end, the 1,000 soldiers all stood up.
At that moment, the crowd, who had been forcing themselves to be silent for a long time, immediately opened their mouths and exclaimed.
Amidst all the exclamations and shouts, everyone darted their eyes to Fang Qiu in grat.i.tude.
“a.s.semble!” The battalion chief rose to his feet and called.
The 1,000 soldiers immediately gathered into a square formation.
“Dress to the left!”
Under the command of the battalion chief, the 1,000 soldiers adjusted their positions.
“At ease.”
“Attention!”
“Salute to the drill master!”
While calling in a booming voice, the battalion chief took the lead to salute Fang Qiu.
The 1,000 soldiers also saluted to Fang Qiu at the same time.
Beside Fang Qiu, Li Ji also gave Fang Qiu a wholehearted salute!
At this, Fang Qiu beamed.
He knew that this was the appreciation and respect the military men held for him.
While smiling, Fang Qiu also saluted to the 1,000 soldiers.
Fang Qiu himself was already particularly excited, let alone these 1,000 special force soldiers.
He had helped 1,001 people break through to the Martial Superior Level!
Although they did not make it at the exact same time, they did try to do it together and succeeded. More importantly, these people were the ones who had become martial arts pract.i.tioners for just a few hours.
He just made 1,000 people level up from ordinary people to Martial Superiors in half a day. If this news spread out, all the people in the martial arts world would be shocked.
Undoubtedly, this could be considered a rare and precious feat!
When everyone put down their hands after the salute, Fang Qiu said, “Let’s fight again. Test each other’s strength and consolidate each other’s new power. Don’t be afraid of damaging the cave. This place is much stronger than you think.”
Upon hearing that, everyone immediately burst out laughing. Expressing their excitement and surprise, they started challenging one another to a fight.
When the soldiers were fighting with one another, Fang Qiu sat down cross-legged, directly released his Divine Consciousness, and began to carefully observe the landform and terrain of the cave.
He wanted to see how this Vigor Gra.s.s got to grow in this place.
“Is the terrain here the same as that in the desert? Does the so-called landform have a fixed pattern?”
After his Divine Consciousness swept every corner of the place, Fang Qiu found that the terrain here was too complex. Moreover, the land that the Earth Treasure needed to grow was already with a radius of 10 kilometers. In the case of the Heaven Treasure, it far exceeded 10 kilometers.
Apart from the fact that he didn’t know how big the land was and which elements were critical, the terrain here was so intricate that it couldn’t be duplicated at all.
In the end, Fang Qiu sighed and gave up.
“I’d better wait for my mental power to get to a higher level before I check it out again.”
He sighed inwardly.
Then, Fang Qiu opened his eyes.
He saw that the gra.s.s on the ground had sprouted again.
“Since the terrain here allows the Vigor Gra.s.s to grow again in decades, in addition to the existence of the roots of Vigor Gra.s.s, it also means that the Qi of Heaven and Earth has covered this place. Although I don’t know how long the Qi of Heaven and Earth will stay in here, the rebirth, growth, and maturity of the Vigor Gra.s.s all indicate that the Qi of Heaven and Earth attracted by the land of the Heaven Treasure disperses more slowly. Otherwise, the Vigor Gra.s.s won’t have enough supply of Qi of Heaven and Earth to ripe at all.”
“Now, there is no Vigor Gra.s.s as the Formation Eye of this terrain. Although the terrain here still exists, it won’t last for a couple of decades. However, judging from the fertile terrain that has brought up the Heaven Treasure, it should not be a problem for it to last for more than ten years.”
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up.
The herbs cultivated here would certainly be much better than those outside!
It was just that Fang Qiu himself obviously didn’t have the ability to develop this place.
Because the cave was too deep, and there was an underground maze on the way there. He couldn’t really go up and down there to grow and harvest herbs all by himself, could he?
With that in mind, Fang Qiu could only give this precious land to the country and the army.
