Martial Master

"For myself, for my mother, for stepping back into the Martial Realm and seeking revenge on those two vile individuals, how can I, Qin Chen, fall here?"

"Break!"

"Break for me!"

"Break, break, break..."

Qin Chen roared silently in his heart, his strong will like a raging storm.

Hope was right in front of him; he had to succeed in building his meridians!

Qin Chen exerted all his energy, mobilizing all his mental strength, combined with that trace of true energy, and charged fiercely towards the final barrier of the twelfth meridian.

"Boom!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck out of a clear sky; a deafening sound instantly echoed in Qin Chen's mind, the thunderous noise almost made him faint, and his entire mind was buzzing.

If it weren't for the presence of the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needles guarding his Tianmen and heart acupoints, this strike would have caused him to lose his mind and be reduced to an idiot.

After the intense rumble, a cold sensation spread from Qin Chen's body, and the original severe pain gradually faded, replaced by a tingling, numbing feeling.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff...

The eighteen Heavenly Meridian Divine Needles inserted into Qin Chen's body finally exhausted their last trace of power, turning into powder that drifted away.

"Haha, I succeeded, I finally opened up twelve meridians."

When success came, the excitement in Qin Chen's heart was beyond anyone's comprehension.

Falling in the Martial Realm in his past life, he was making a comeback in this life.

He bore too much!

If he could not open up twelve meridians, then in this life, he would never surpass his past self and return to his peak.

And now, he finally succeeded.

He even reached a height that he had never achieved in his past life.

In his past life, before breaking through to the Human Level, he had only opened up eleven meridians.

In this life, thanks to the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art, he saw the hope of opening up twelve meridians.

And now, that hope was finally realized.

Amidst great joy and sorrow, Qin Chen felt light as if he could ascend to the heavens and wanted to sleep right here.

But he knew he mustn't sleep.

He had to strike while the iron was hot and condense his true energy.

Even for his severely injured body, he could only find a way to recover later.

"The Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art is the most mysterious technique I obtained from the Forbidden Land. Let me see what mystery this technique holds."

Qin Chen resisted the urge to sleep and operated the mental technique of the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art.

As soon as he activated it, a refreshing sensation instantly spread throughout his body, jolting him awake.

The original drowsiness miraculously disappeared in an instant.

In the entire training room, a large amount of world energy seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, permeating every pore of his body.

The meridians and pores that had been dried up were like a drought meeting sweet rain, greedily absorbing the surrounding world energy.

In just a moment, traces of true energy began circulating in Qin Chen's meridians.

"What a fast speed of true energy condensation, it's more than twice as fast as the Heaven Level techniques I cultivated in my past life, and all twelve meridians are absorbing simultaneously. This speed is simply against the heavens."

Qin Chen was greatly surprised.

As expected from the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art obtained from the Forbidden Land, just the speed of true energy condensation was above all the techniques he had seen in his past life.

In no time, a large amount of world energy swarmed into his body.

Time passed.

The true energy in Qin Chen's body kept condensing.

The original pain slowly disappeared, and he didn't know how long had passed when Qin Chen felt himself enter a mysterious and profound realm, his mind clear and empty.

Then, he saw an ancient, simple iron sword suspended in his mind.

"Isn't this the iron sword I obtained from the Forbidden Land? How come..."

Back when he was in the Forbidden Land, besides obtaining the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art, Qin Chen also acquired a palm-sized ancient iron sword.
