Light Cultivation
Eps. 12 — Meridians
“Chen’er, your ability increased again.” Jian Wu smiled faintly.
Just this morning Jian Wu was startled by the iris of his son's changed eyes now Jian Chen's ability was no less surprising.
Jian Chen was almost able to compensate for his father's sword skills day after day. Even today, Jian Chen's abilities improved drastically.
Jian Wu began to consider that the Soul Readers Ball of the past turned out to be misjudging one's talent. The proof of his son's talent can increase beyond reason.
On the other hand, Jian Chen chuckled at the reaction of his father. He began to enjoy the face of his father's shock at his sword skills.
Jian Chen swung his wooden sword once more. This time he used a technique that his father had taught him a while ago. “Cloud Penetrator.”.
Jian Chen's wooden sword swing moved quickly which his father could not help but avoid, Jian Wu hurriedly raised and held back the swing of the sword.
Jian Wu's face wrinkled feeling his hands numb. He knew his son did not use deep energy but did not expect his physical energy to be strong as well.
“Chen’er, your energy is also growing stronger.” Jian Wu smiled bitterly.
Jian Wu felt that when he was training with his son yesterday, Jian Chen's physical strength was not this strong. He argued that perhaps Jian Chen's cultivation stage rose to become a level 2 Spirit Realm.
‘If Chen’er is properly raising his cultivation, it should be that the 2nd level Spirit Realm is not this strong.’ Jian Wu tried to see his son's cultivation but to no avail.
Generally, one's cultivation can indeed be read by people who have cultivation above it. But Jian Chen was not so, as if his cultivation was indeed invisible to others.
This was actually due to Jian Chen using a different cultivation. The cultivation of the Light God could only be seen by people using the cultivation of the Light God as well.
Attack after attack Jian Wu received, he indeed did not strike back because from the beginning told Jian Chen to keep attacking him.
This pattern of practice actually aimed to see Jian Chen's boundary in the sword.
Had Jian Wu known that Jian Chen had more sword skills than him, perhaps he would not have used this kind of training pattern.
“We have finished his training, Chen’er.” Jian Wu is satisfied with Jian Chen's development.
He didn't know the cause of his child's development being stronger yet if it led to good things, Jian Wu didn't matter.
The two finally decided to rest at home. Jian Ran walked over when he found out his training was over, he brought drinking water for his husband and son.
“Chen’er, for tomorrow I have a job escorting a group of traders who are going to the capital, so can not train you. You can train with your mother or maybe take a break.”.
Jian Wu as a mercenary, it was common to be like this every month. Jian Wu was in the realm of the 9th Stage Soul Realm. For a bodyguard, his cultivation was much needed.
Jian Wu's lifespan was now 30 years old, perhaps nearly another year or so he could reach the Realm of Life realm if he practiced or consumed sufficient resources.
As for Jian Ran's cultivation, he was at the realm of the 4th stage of the Soul Realm. Jian Ran was indeed a swordsman but after he got married, his cultivation came to a halt. Jian Ran chose to focus on being a housewife.
“There is nothing I can teach Chen’er, My Husband. I can see it only a matter of time the sword technique offset or even exceed you.”
Jian Wu nodded, he also realized the potential of his son.
“At least you teach bare-handed techniques, I haven't taught that to Chen’er.”
“Later I teach.” Jian Ran then turned to his son who was drinking. “Chen’er you practice tomorrow with Mom?”
Perhaps to his parents, Jian Chen was extremely talented in the field of swordsmanship but Jian Chen was actually not leaning there.
He was a bare-handed user, possessing many techniques previously taught by his teacher even supreme techniques.
As Jian Chen knew, his mother was more skilled at fighting in the field of bare hands than her father. That was why Jian Wu told Jian Ran to teach himself.
“Chen’er, it seems like Father has yet to give you a reward for your achievements that had opened the Gate of Cultivation last week. Isn't that a gift from your mother?” Jian Wu pointed at the necklace on Jian Chen's neck.
Jian Chen nodded, for some reason it felt like Jian Chen was hoping that his father would give him a gift as well.
“Are you expecting a stealth gem?” Jian Wu laughed as if knowing the contents of his son's mind. “I know you are hooked with increased inner energy. I'll give this to you.”
Three pieces of stealth gems were given to Jian Chen for free.
“When Dad hunts in the forest of the Jian Clan, it happens that Dad gets a 10-year-old demon. Although not as valuable as the previous Clan Chief's gem, at least this can increase your internal energy capacity.”
Then Jian Wu said as an inspiration to his son. If Jian Chen reached a breakthrough to a higher level, he would give out more demon gems and the number would be even greater than now.
“Increasing power capacity in is good, Chen’er. But you must remember the foundation of the other 8 meridians when going to make a breakthrough.”.
Clearly, the 8 meridian foundations in cultivation had to be improved all without anyone missing a single one.
This was because in addition to making him able to rise to the next cultivation stage easily, it also made him able to bring out the maximum ability of the cultivation stage.
The eight meridian foundations are a matter that must be raised continuously by a swordsman.
In the evening, Jian Chen instantly purified the 3 stealth gems from his father earlier into his body.
Initially Jian Chen's face was happy because it was so easy to obtain the gems in the near future that it could raise his cultivation but his face immediately turned to be annoyed.
“What the fuck! I absorbed 3 stealth gems 10 years and only created 3 circles only!” Jian Chen could not help but cuss.
Although Jian Chen knew what was the cause but still when this happened it was annoying.
Supposedly if it was someone else, the 3 demon gems that Jian Chen was holding could now create at least 9 circles. Or the 30-year-old stealth gem belonging to Chairman Jian Ya, it could generally create at least 20 circles.
Jian Chen knew the cause of this because his inner circle was larger than the average person.
The inner circle of energy is the inner unit of energy created in the warrior body. The power circles within Jian Chen had a large area than ordinary warriors.
According to his teacher back then, 1 inner circle of Jian Chen was equal to 3 inner power circles in the body of others.
The problem was that to break through to the Wind Light God realm would still have to be 30 circles according to the power count within Jian Chen.
Jian Chen could only let out a long sigh, he should have been aware, there were no strong people in a short period of time. It might take a few years for him to reach his former strength again.
What can be done now is to focus on increasing the amount of energy in it. Jian Chen had a goal for that which was that he had to hunt demons.
Jian Chen planned to hunt the demons in the forest of the Jian Clan after hearing his father earlier, he would leave at night secretly.
