With Zhang Ruochens current physique and the abundant True Qi in his body, opening the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth meridians seemed effortless.

  It took only one day to successfully open up the five meridians and form five cycles of circulation throughout the body.

  But when he started opening up the eleventh meridian, he finally felt a bit strained.

  After spending a whole six hours, he finally opened up the eleventh meridian successfully. He was so exhausted that his entire body was drenched in sweat and his true energy was depleted by almost 90%.

  When the eleventh meridian was successfully opened, Zhang Ruochens body trembled slightly.

  A dull sound came from his brow.

  Boom

  Arriving at the Yellow Extreme Boundary of the Small Extremes

  The capacity of the air sac immediately expanded tenfold and became as large as a five-meter square, which was almost the same size as a real pond.

  In the air pool, the true energy surges and steams in a piece.

  "After all, this body is still too weak. In the Huangji Boundarys Small Extreme Position, I can only open up eleven meridians. I must think of a way to enhance my physique."

  If other warriors knew Zhang Ruochens thoughts at this moment, they would definitely cry themselves unconscious in the martial arts arena.

  To know, being able to open up six meridians in a small extreme boundary is already enough to be called a genius.

  Being able to open up eight meridians is considered a top-notch genius.

  Opening up ten meridians, its simply like a demonic genius, making fellow martial artists in the same realm look up to him in admiration.

  The Seventh Prince was able to open up ten meridians in the Huangji Boundarys Small Extreme Position, earning him a reputation that shook the heavens. Within the same boundary, he had no equal and was conferred as the First Heavens Pride of Yunwu Commandery, suppressing the brilliance of all other geniuses.

  For a hundred years, throughout Yunwu Commandery, he was the only one who opened up ten meridians in Huangji Boundarys Xiaoji position, with no second person.

  Of course, now there is an additional Zhang Ruochen

  "No matter how I say it, Ive finally reached a small extreme realm of Huangji. I dont know what level my current strength has reached."

  Zhang Ruochen washed off the dirt on his body, changed into a blue long gown and walked out of the room.

  He intended to find a place without people to test his own strength.

  The royal palace of the State of Unhye is built around a mountain, with three large mountains enclosed within the palace walls, namely Geunsan, Wangsan, and Cheonsan. In addition to the dense palatial buildings, there are also some relatively quiet gardens and valleys.

  Zhang Ruochen and Lin Fei lived in the Zi Yi Pian Dian, which was equivalent to a cold palace, relatively far away from the main palace group.

  Out of the Ziyu Pavilion, it is a dense forest filled with snow. Continuing forward, there is one of the three great mountains in the palace, Junshan.

  Arriving at the foot of Junshan, the endless stream of palace maids and eunuchs could no longer be seen, and even the imperial guards were hardly visible.

  "Its right here"

  Zhang Ruochen stopped in his tracks, ready to test his current strength.

  His legs were slightly bent, resembling a horses stance, and also like a giant elephant standing proudly in the snow.

  Her legs moved in pace, continuously slapping out palm prints, getting faster and faster.

  "The Dragon Elephant Palms First Move, The Barbarian Elephant Rushes to the Ground"

  Zhang Ruochens legs kicked out, his entire skeleton and muscles tensed up completely, then suddenly shot out, one palm striking the stone wall.

  "Boom"

  On the stone wall, a crack appeared, and the cracks continued to expand.

  A five-meter-high stone wall came crashing down.

  Zhang Ruochen stepped back quickly, rapidly retreating backwards to avoid being hit by the falling rocks.

  "The explosive force of this palm is almost equivalent to eight oxens strength." Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly.

  An ordinary Huang Ji Jing Xiao Ji Wei warrior can only burst out with a strength of four cows at most.

  He has just broken through the Yellow Extreme Boundarys Small Extreme Position and can already burst out with eight oxen strength, which is quite impressive. As his cultivation deepens, the power he can burst out will definitely be even stronger.

  "Try swordsmanship again"

  Zhang Ruochen took out the Flashing Soul Sword from the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, grasped it in his hand, and injected true energy into the sword body.

  "Whoosh"

  The first layer of force inscription was activated, and the weight of the Flash Soul Sword immediately reached one hundred and fifty-three catties.

  Then the second ice-elemental inscription was activated, and a chilling aura emanated from the sword body, causing the surrounding air to become slightly icy.

  With Zhang Ruochens current cultivation level, simultaneously activating two seals is already his limit.

  In the past six months, Zhang Ruochen has not been entirely focused on refining his body. A lot of time was actually spent cultivating "Tian Xin Swordsmanship" and "Long Xiang Panruo Palm".

  Gongfa, Lianti, Wujie - none of these three can be missing.

  Tianxin Swordsmanship, a lower-grade spiritual swordsmanship, is divided into twelve moves in total.

  Every single move of swordsmanship is extremely exquisite, containing many changing moves, far beyond what human-level swordsmanship can compare to.

  To master the Tianxin Swordsmanship, a warrior from Huangji Border must spend a tremendous amount of time. Even mastering just one move requires months of hard work.

  Zhang Ruochen relied on his memories of practicing the Tianxin Sword Technique and spent half a year to successfully cultivate three moves of the sword technique.

  The 153-jin heavy Shanhun Sword was as light as nothing in Zhang Ruochens hands, and it was very skilled to use, just like becoming a part of the body.

  The arm moves, and the sword has already moved first.

  "Heavenly Heart Points the Way"

  Zhang Ruochens right arm lifted, and a sword swung out in a slash.

  In the air, a piercing sound of breaking wind appeared immediately, and a sword energy flew out.

  "Whoosh"

  On the ground, a seven-meter-long, three-foot-deep icy sword scar was left behind. Where the sword scar passed, the grass leaves were cut off, the stones were split open, and a neat cutting edge was left on the ground.

  Like a sword path

  "Plum Blossom in Heavens Heart"

  Zhang Ruochens arm shook, and one sword stabbed out.

  Shan Huan Sword transformed into a blue light dart, seven illusory shadows appeared, as if seven swords stabbed out at the same time.

  When the sword was stuck in the stone wall, the seven sword shadows converged at one point, making a "ding ding" sound.

  On the stone wall, seven small sword holes were left behind, all of which were pierced with the tip of a sword. The seven sword holes were arranged in the shape of a plum blossom.

  The "plum blossom" in "the plum blossoms are broken" is not the plum blossom of the plum tree, but the eyebrow of the brow.

  One sword pierced out, leaving seven small sword holes in the opponents brow, just like printing a blood-colored plum blossom on the opponents brow.

  Only when the sword intent is cultivated to the realm of "the sword follows the heart" can this move be successfully cultivated.

  The realm of sword intent is divided into three levels: The sword follows the heart, the sword and heart are in harmony, and man and sword become one.

  Zhang Ruochen is now in the realm of "Sword Following Heart", and even if he is far from "Sword Heart Clear", its not too far.

  In addition to "Tian Xin Zhi Lu" and "Tian Xin Po Mei", Zhang Ruochen also successfully cultivated a defensive sword technique called "Tian Xin Jian Zhong".

  "Tian Xin Jian Zhong"

  Zhang Ruochen poured the true energy from his body into the Flash Soul Sword, and with a horizontal sword block, the sword energy immediately condensed into a pale blue large bells virtual shadow. The virtual shadow of the large bell rapidly rotated, wrapping Zhang Ruochens body inside the sword bell.

  Once this sword technique is executed, it can withstand the full force of a Huang Ji Boundarys powerful warrior. Unless that Huang Ji Boundarys powerful warrior has also cultivated a Ling-level sword technique, they will not be able to break through Zhang Ruo Chens defensive sword technique.

  Heavenly Heart Points the Way

  Heavenly Heart Breaks Plum

  Heavenly Heart Sword Bell

  Zhang Ruochen continuously demonstrated three sword moves to comprehend the realm of "Sword Heart Clear and Bright". Of course, wanting to achieve "Sword Heart Clear and Bright" is not something that can be done overnight.

  Until he had exhausted his true energy, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Zi Yi Pavilion.

  "There are still thirteen days until the end of the year assessment, strive to make improvements in cultivation."

  Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged in the Time and Space Secret Classic, then swallowed another Gathering Qi Pill into his mouth, and began to cultivate with all his might.

  As the end of the year assessment approaches, all the princes and princesses of Yunwu County are secretly cultivating, hoping to make a stunning debut at the end of the year assessment.

  At the end of the year assessment, only descendants of the royal family and relatives under the age of 20 can participate, in order to increase the motivation of young people and enhance their competitiveness.

  In those years, Zhang Ruochen didnt even have the opportunity to participate in the year-end assessment, and could only stand under the stage watching. Every time it came to this point, it was the most embarrassing and awkward moment for him and Lin Fei.

  This year may be different.

  Zhang Ruochen was making progress while those other princes and dukes were also progressing.

  Zhang Ruochen and Lin Feis former residence, the Jade Rinsing Palace, a luxurious room inside, echoed with the loud laughter of Eighth Prince Zhang Ji: "Haha, Ive finally broken through to the Small Extreme Realm!"

  Xiao Feis face showed a hint of relief, and she praised: "Good Jie Er, with your current cultivation, although you still cant compare to the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince, however, at least your father will be able to see your progress, and when the time comes, he will definitely reward you."

  Hachioji nodded in agreement, and indeed, his own abilities were far inferior to those of the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince.

  The Sixth Prince was at the peak of the Small Extreme Realm during the assessment at the end of last year, and now he may have reached the Middle Extreme Realm.

  As for the Fifth Prince, he was even more formidable, and it was said that he had already broken through to the Great Extreme Realm.

  Hachioji smiled coldly and said, "Anyway, someone has already taken the fall, and when the time comes, his existence will only serve to make me look even more outstanding."

  "Youre talking about the Ninth Prince, arent you? He just opened up his Martial Dao imprint not long ago, and probably hasnt even finished washing his marrow and flushing his meridians yet. He shouldnt be participating in the year-end assessment." Princess Xiao said.

  "Hmph, whether you participate or not is none of your business." The corner of Hachikos mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a hint of disdainful cold smile.
