Chapter 143 - 98: Crushing and Breaking Through
Even if one hundred and seven Major Acupoints were opened, failing to break through the final one meant the entire attempt was a failure. The previously opened Major Acupoints would then seal themselves again.
Failure could lead to a backlash of qi and blood, injuring one’s heart meridians in mild cases. In severe cases, it could cause cultivation deviation, a reversal in the flow of meridians, or even a drop in one’s Cultivation level.
Every step was fraught with danger!
Even with a deep foundation, various Elixirs were needed for support to ensure that a failure wouldn’t result in excessive harm.
For him, however, the power of a single Middle Realm Dragon Essence was more than enough.
"ROAR—!!!"
With a deafening Dragon’s Roar, Fang Xing mobilized his Dragon Essence Power and his own True Qi, advancing with unstoppable momentum.
Within a few breaths, he had already broken through a dozen or so Major Acupoints.
A draconic shadow flickered faintly around him.
A golden radiance shone forth!
To guarantee success, Fang Xing temporarily set aside his efforts to advance the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.
Compared to this critical breakthrough, everything else had to take a backseat.
Once he took this step, his strength would increase by more than tenfold.
A breakthrough to a major realm was of the utmost importance!
Succeeding in this breakthrough was like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate!
The Dragon Essence Power seemed endless. Supported by this energy, Fang Xing threw all his effort into the breakthrough.
An hour passed, and he had already opened one hundred Major Acupoints.
The aura around him had also condensed to its peak.
A powerful might swept out, suppressing the very air with its force.
A Dragon’s Roar resounded!
The further he went, the power required to break through each acupoint nearly doubled.
Half an hour flew by in an instant. Fang Xing focused his mind and spirit. Inside him, less than a third of the Dragon Essence Power remained!
Seven more Major Acupoints were opened, leaving only the final one.
His aura swirled around him.
At this moment, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were all focused on a single point.
The Dragon Essence Power continuously merged with his own strength for the assault.
"BOOM!!!"
After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a sudden roar echoed from within him. The final Major Acupoint was completely opened!
Breakthrough successful!
In that instant, he seemed to have stepped into a brand-new world.
His True Qi surged like a monstrous flood, sweeping into his Dantian and filling the Major Acupoints.
"HUMMM!!!"
A majestic aura vibrated outwards, causing ripples in the air.
The aura around him instantly skyrocketed.
An immense pressure enveloped him, rushing out of the room and sweeping across the entire courtyard.
All around him, a brilliant golden light shone!
And at that very moment, two figures passing by outside the courtyard suddenly stopped.
Nangong Qing stared at the courtyard before him, his gaze sharpened.
He snapped his head to look at the person beside him.
"Isn’t this courtyard Fang Xing’s?"
Beside him, a young Captain was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded.
"My lord, this is Lord Fang’s residence. Is something wrong?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Nangong Qing’s face.
"This kid’s progress is frighteningly fast. Breaking through again after just a few months..."
Nangong Qing murmured in a low voice.
Hearing Nangong Qing’s whisper, the young Captain’s pupils instantly shrank.
’Lord Fang broke through again?!’
’He only just reached the True Qi Realm Third Layer a few months ago.’
’Could it be that he’s already broken through to the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer? And entered the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm?!’
As the thought flashed through his mind, the young Captain’s heart was thrown into turmoil.
’He has a boundless future. It seems that position can only be his...’
The thought flashed through Nangong Qing’s mind. He then withdrew his gaze and said, "Let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb him."
The young Captain snapped out of his daze, nodded blankly, and followed Nangong Qing away.
...
"True Qi Fourth Layer. I’ve finally stepped into the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm." Feeling the vast and majestic power within his body, Fang Xing let out a long breath of relief, and the aura around him receded.
He looked inward, inspecting his entire body.
True Qi Fourth Layer, the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm!
By breaking through all one hundred and eight acupoints, his strength had increased by more than tenfold.
In terms of True Qi alone, he could now completely crush his former self from the True Qi Third Layer.
Not only had he broken through in one go, but he had also used the Dragon Essence Power to fill ten of the Major Acupoints.
He had completely stabilized his Cultivation!
’Only about ten percent of the Dragon Essence Power is left. It’s a good thing this was a Middle Realm Dragon Essence. I’m afraid even three to five Initial Realm Dragon Essences wouldn’t have been enough.’
’I wonder if this remaining ten percent of Dragon Essence Power will be enough for the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt to break through...’
