Chapter 22: The Great Dragon of Meridians

  Li Xiao turned his head and found Xue Ningfeng smiling at him from over there.

  This sound, instantly made all the students in the grand hall turn their heads. After all, Li Xiao and Xue Yingxue could be said to be "celebrities" in the academy that everyone knew, and Xue Yingxue was even the dream partner of countless men. At this moment, she actually publicly invited Li Xiao, a waste, which was really unbelievable.

  "What are you? You're also worthy of approaching Sister Xue Ningfeng? If you dare to go over, I will definitely break your legs!"

  A man who had been silent beside him suddenly spoke up, and Chun Yu's eyes turned cold as he secretly warned Li Xiao:

  "This is one of the strong ones among the newborns who have reached the fourth level of Tongling - Mo Zhan! You'd better be careful, this guy is extremely wild, it's said that in the martial arts arena, he twisted off a disciple's arm alive, you'd better not provoke him."

  Just then, Ni Liang came back with three bowls of rice.

  "What are you two doing? Hurry up and find a place to sit down!"

  Ni Liang apparently didn't notice the situation here, and Li Xiao said nothing as he walked towards Xue Ningfeng.

  "Great!"

  Mo Jian stood up, his eyes gleaming like electricity, a hint of anger hidden on his knife-like face, staring directly at Li Xiao.

  Li Xiao stopped in his tracks, Chun Yu Xi pulled on Li Xiao's shoulder and shook his head at him.

  Ni Liang didn't know what had happened, but he could also tell that something was off. Without saying a word, he closely followed behind Li Xiao and eventually sat down beside Xue Ningfeng.

  "Sorry to disturb you, junior sister."

  Li Xiao nodded, and suddenly a loud crash came from behind him. A long table in the cafeteria was smashed to pieces, with fragments falling to the ground.

  Mo Zhan let out a cold hum and turned around to leave the cafeteria. None of the students dared to stop this madman.

  "Just after passing the fourth spiritual trial and you're already acting like this, did you really think you were the number one in the academy?"

  Ni Liang's sarcastic remark made Chun Yu Xi glare at him, instantly silencing Ni Liang.

  "Li Xiao Shixiong, I'm really sorry. I didn't think that I would get you into trouble with another enemy again. I'll talk to Mo Zhan and tell him not to bother you."

  Xue Ningfeng was born with a beautiful appearance, extremely beautiful and extraordinary.

  Li Xiao knew this was his own choice, so he wouldn't blame the woman in front of him.

  Ní Liáng sat not far away, occasionally casting ambiguous glances at Lǐ Xiào. This meal was eaten with a sense of discomfort for Lǐ Xiào. After finishing the meal, Lǐ Xiào bid farewell to Xūé Jīng Shuāng and returned to their residence with Ní Liáng.

  "Haha, Li Xiao Shi Di, there's no need to hide it anymore, right? You said you and Xue Yingfeng didn't have anything going on, but I didn't expect her to bail you out in front of everyone like that."

  Ni Liangxiao's smile was somewhat despicable, and even Chun Yu Xi, a bookworm, had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, clearly unable to hold it in.

  Li Xiao was speechless about these two guys, and under their nagging, a day's time just passed like this.

  The sky grew darker, and Ni Liang as well as Chun Yu Xi both returned to their own quarters to rest. In the entire room, there was only one person left, Li Xiao.

  Just as he was about to fall asleep, the jade stone in his arms suddenly warmed up, and a voice instantly fell into Li Xiao's mind.

  "Li Xiao, little brother, have you rested?"

  Li Xiao heard one surprise, immediately sat up.

  "Don't be surprised, I'm Meng Ruoxue, do you still remember?"

  Upon hearing this, Li Xiao hastily took out the jade stone from his bosom.

  As he attempted to immerse his spirit within, Li Xiao suddenly seemed to materialize a split image of himself, entering the world inside the jade stone.

  "Huh? I didn't expect you to actually cultivate spiritual power, but this is quite convenient, and communication has become much easier."

  The sound seemed to be circulating throughout the jade, Li Xiao looked around and found that all four sides were dark, as if it was a heavily polluted sky.

  "Yes, I joined Guozijian and became a student of Guozijian."

  "So that's how it is, the National Academy isn't bad after all. First of all, congratulations are in order for you, your book has sold well and your share of the profits is exceptionally generous. Next is the follow-up article, I hope you can hand it over to me as soon as possible."

  For this "business genius", Li Xiao felt she was very similar to Ni Liang.

  "Alright, I'll recite chapter eleven for you, take note of it, and I'll figure out a way to write the rest later."

  Li Xiao thought for a moment, he was eager to break through the Ji Quan Hole and didn't want to waste time on these things for now.

  "It's alright, but you don't have to go through so much trouble. I'll be going to Donglan City next month, and at that time, I'll contact you directly. Please tell me the eleventh chapter first, otherwise this month's literary magazine won't be able to continue serialization."

  Then Li Xiao translated sentence by sentence and translated the eleventh chapter of "Journey to the West" into the script of this world.

  Time flies, and another month has passed.

  Just today, Li Xiao closed the door tightly and didn't see anyone, using all his strength to attack the Extreme Spring Hole!

  Li Xiao poured all the power of the curse seal into the Extreme Spring Point, and indeed, the speed at which the Extreme Spring Point was opened up increased significantly. Only to see that in the Extreme Spring Point, a few divine lights burst forth, and a mysterious power was born within it, faintly connected to the previous eight pairs of acupoints!

  Shao Chong, Shao Fu, Shen Men, Yin Xi, Tong Li, Ling Dao, Shao Hai, Qing Ling and finally the extreme Quan Xue hole, nine major acupoints connected as one, both hands' Shou Yin Xin Jing were completely opened up, instantly a mighty force surged through Li Xiao's entire body!

  "Ode to..."

  Two channels of energy transformed into two giant dragons, roaring and trembling in Li Xiao's arms, with blood being continuously transported over from afar, the powerful force making even Li Xiao himself somewhat unbelievable!

  That's right, this is absolutely the terrifying power that Lv Hao, one of the four strongest in the world at that time, showed!

  Li Xiao felt the power of two giant dragons spreading throughout his body, one meridian was like a giant dragon! In Li Xiao's arms, with one inhale and one exhale, the powerful energy spread throughout his body in an instant.

  Two great dragons transformed from the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, spewing out powerful life substances that rapidly transformed Li Xiao's body. In just a moment, Li Xiao felt a deep transformation throughout his entire body, his strength soaring to new heights as he suddenly broke through into the Tongling San Chong realm!

  No one would ever believe something like this.

  With a body that has yet to reach the realm of spiritual awakening, it suddenly breaks through and directly rushes into the triple spiritual realm, giving one an unreal dreamlike feeling.

  Li Xiao's arms transmitted the sound of a mighty dragon roar, from this point on, Li Xiao was certain that the True Self-Mutilation Scripture was not just an ordinary martial arts secret manual, but rather something that could truly change the nature of the human body and unlock the potential of this ancient and mysterious physique.

  Li Xiao's spirit was like it had undergone a baptism, its intensity suddenly increasing by twofold!

  Li Xiao never thought that such a thing would happen, it was like a dream come true. After the Ji Quan hole was opened, Li Xiao was like a fish leaping into a dragon, a giant bird spreading its wings, and flying straight up to the sky!

  The turbulent blood gradually calmed down, and Li Xiao's arms at this moment contained a power that ordinary people could not imagine. Walking out of the house, Li Xiao picked up a fist-sized boulder.

  This stubborn stone is elliptical in shape and difficult to grasp.

  Li Xiao held it in his hand, but it seemed to have no weight at all. With a slight exertion of force, the entire boulder began to shatter! As Li Xiao gradually increased his strength, this fist-sized boulder actually turned into powder!

  Li Xiao patted his hands, and before he had fully grasped the Extreme Spring Hole, even if he had punched this stubborn stone with all his might, he would have only left a small mark. But after the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian was opened, the meridians transformed into two giant dragons, and in an instant, Li Xiao's power increased to such an extent that it was terrifyingly unparalleled!

  It has been more than two years since Li Xiao was reborn into this world, and for the first time, he had such a powerful feeling.

  It seems as if nothing in heaven and earth can stop one's own fist!

  After gradually adapting to his own strength, it was already dusk. Ni Liang and the three of them returned, seeing that Li Xiao seemed somewhat different, but under hunger, they didn't pay much attention to it.

  A few people stepped into the cafeteria again. Although the students of Guo Xueyuan still had a grudge against Li Xiao, it was not as intense as just after the assessment.

  A few people had just taken their rice and sat down. Suddenly, a fragrant breeze floated by, and the three of them turned their heads to look, only to see Xue Ningfeng.

  "A few seniors have disturbed me, I wonder if Senior Li Xiao will be free tomorrow?"

  Xue Ningfeng asked, but before Li Xiao could answer, the other two guys nodded in unison:

  "Got space, got space!"

  Li Xiao was speechless, Xue Ningfeng smiled sweetly:

  "That's good, since Master Li Xiao has time tomorrow, I'll follow you to the East Palace to pay respects to Old Master Xiang. Is that alright?"

  In fact, a woman like Xue Ningfeng with the power of Tongling Wuchong is not afraid of being robbed by bad people. However, for such a stunning beauty to personally bring gifts to the Prime Minister's mansion for a visit, it's clearly not quite proper, so a scapegoat is needed.

  "Of course, serving tea and water for Shuai Ningfeng is what we Li brothers should do. Li Xiao, brother, why haven't you agreed yet?"

  Ní Liáng pushed Lǐ Xiào slightly.

  "Xue Ningfeng, don't worry, Li Xiao will definitely go."

  Sun Yu also gave Li Xiao a wink.

  Although Li Xiao didn't dare to agree with the words and actions of these two brothers, he thought that Xue Ningfeng had helped him before, so since the other party had spoken up and invited him, he should also lend a hand.

  "Sister Xue Ningfeng, don't worry, I'll go tomorrow."

  Li Xiao nodded, and it was reasonable for him to agree in both sentiment and reason.

  "Alright then, I'll wait for Brother Shifu at the front hall of the academy tomorrow morning. I won't disturb you all anymore, farewell."

  Xue Ningfeng left the cafeteria, and Ni Liang patted Li Xiao's shoulder.

  "You little scamp, you really have a way with words! You've even managed to win over Xue Ning Shuang, a beauty of unparalleled elegance..."

  Sun Yu hastily pulled Nie Liang, this guy with no filter, over and gave him a signal. Nie Liang looked around and saw that the students on all sides had an expression as if they wanted to swallow Li Shuo whole, making Nie Liang break out in cold sweat.

  The three of them didn't dare stay in the cafeteria and hastily carried their food away from here.

  "Li Xiao, although you and Xue Ningfeng went to celebrate the birthday of the Left Prime Minister, I shouldn't say much. But I always feel that something is fishy. Xue Ningfeng's exceptional talent, why has she always looked at you differently? Moreover, once outside the Imperial Academy, those disciples' private fights are beyond the academy's pursuit. And since this matter involves the Left Prime Minister, even the elders of the Imperial Academy dare not interfere..."

  "What does senior brother mean?"

  Li Xiao's expression turned grave upon hearing this.

  A magnificent life is about to begin, seeking recommendations, seeking collections, seeking rewards!
