Chapter 1019: Mastery of the Easy Muscle Meridian

Since Phantom’s plan failed, the situation was entirely under Meng Yun’s control. Following Meng Yun’s plan, Kai Xin made the worst preparations in the shortest time possible.
Using the promise he had obtained from Phantom beforehand, he gained permission to train in Xifeng Tower’s gang prison for half a month, aiming to use this time to reach the ultimate level of the Easy Muscle Meridian. After Meng Yun revealed his astonishing strength, Kai Xin gave up the idea of weakening Yipin Hall’s power—instead, he left that task to Yi Di, who was already taking action.
Yipin Hall’s strength and resources were simply too formidable; at this point, an individual’s efforts could hardly bridge the gap between the two sides.
Xifeng Tower was at a complete disadvantage!
It was impossible for Xifeng Tower to compete with Yipin Hall in a back-and-forth struggle like this.
Although this news wasn’t good, Kai Xin had to admit it.
If Meng Yun wanted to, Yipin Hall could use all its resources to completely destroy Xifeng Tower within a month.
The combined strength of the twelve major city gangs was enough to overwhelm even the most powerful forces… not to mention that Yipin Hall had allies like the Blood Alliance.
Sustaining losses was unrealistic!
But fortunately…
Meng Yun also didn’t dare act rashly at the moment…
Because the Evil Emperor needed Yipin Hall’s help to enter the Central Plains.
Although Xifeng Tower might collapse first due to mutual depletion, the political landscape in the Central Plains was complex, with many powerful gangs. Even if Yipin Hall was severely weakened, it might not still be able to take control of the situation and pave the way for the Wild Wolves Organization—or even dominate the Central Plains after the war.
Kai Xin seized this half-month opportunity keenly…
As for why he chose Xifeng Tower’s gang prison, it was because Xifeng Tower had the most prisoners at the Mythical Realm level—three such experts were imprisoned there, even if only at an early stage of their power. Without their equipment, their threat was no less than that of the Yin Queen.
Kai Xin was probably the only person in the Central Plains who dared to fight against Mythical Realm experts without equipment!
However, the more intense the attack, the greater the damage to the body, which in turn stimulated the potential of the Easy Muscle Meridian and enhanced its effects.
At Manduo Villa, Kai Xin made significant progress in a short time…
That’s why he wanted to use the resources of those Mythical Realm experts in Xifeng Tower’s prison to force himself to reach the ultimate level of the Easy Muscle Meridian.
He lied to Bai Xiaosheng…
What truly gave him the confidence to greatly enhance his strength and fight against the Evil Emperor wasn’t the Easy Muscle Meridian!

Although the perfected “Yijin Jing” could greatly enhance defense and recovery abilities while strengthening overall capabilities, it was the “Ximesui Jing,” which remained unused and in an untrainable state, that truly served as his trump card!
Under the repeated attacks from the Mythical Realm prisoners, the “Yijin Jing” operated at full capacity non-stop, with each strike bringing significant improvements. Over several hours, Kai Xin endured more than 2,000 strikes!
The “Yijin Jing” advanced by leaps and bounds to level 99, just one level away from the state of perfect mastery…
“As expected of the Xifeng Tower… With access to experts from the Mythical Realm, cultivation progresses at an extraordinary pace—much easier and safer than outside!”
Before leaving the game, Kai Xin couldn’t help but express such thoughts.
Previously, Bai Xiaosheng had doubted whether he could push the “Yijin Jing” to perfect mastery within half a month, but how could he know that, under the dual stimuli of the heart-wrenching needles and the removal of his equipment, an ordinary Mythical Realm prisoner was equivalent to a peak-level Mythical Realm expert training with him—probably by tomorrow morning, the “Yijin Jing” would reach perfect mastery, resulting in a qualitative improvement in his physical foundation.
And then…
he would be able to cultivate the “Ximesui Jing”!
Another supreme treasure of Shaolin—secrets that gave rise to the expert who achieved the state of unity with heaven and man, the “Crazy Monk”!!
…
“Ding!”
“The ‘Yijin Jing’ has reached the Master level!”
“All attributes increased by 20 points!”
“Internal energy increased by 50 points!”
“Bone membrane perfected—defense increased by 1,000 points! Bone membrane protection automatically reduces incoming damage by 10%!”
“The ‘Yijin Jing’ has expanded its meridians—meridians can now hold more internal energy, increasing attack power by 10%! Qi circulation speed increased by 30%, attack speed increased by 20%!”
The next day, on the day when his divine skills were perfected, Kai Xin entered a magnificent and mysterious state amidst continuous system notifications.
The Mythical Realm prisoners involuntarily stopped attacking, staring in awe at Kai Xin, whose body was filled with profound qi, their eyes fixed unblinkingly.
At this moment, Kai Xin had forgotten himself!
He involuntarily sat down…
His hands rested naturally on his knees, his skin emitting a faint, crystal-like glow as mighty qi flowed through it.
“This is…”
Not only did the Mythical Realm prisoners in front of Kai Xin gradually show expressions of shock, but the two others nearby also suddenly stood up, staring at him, deeply moved!
The qi was ethereal!

But as time passed, Happy’s body seemed to become even more crystal clear and transparent! Every pore emitted an astonishing aura, radiating immense internal energy! From his arms to his face… Happy’s entire body was undergoing transformation! His body emitted abundant internal energy, yet it was contained by an invisible force three feet away from his body, preventing it from leaking out—quite remarkable. Happy seemed oblivious to everything around him! The energy outside his body gradually became thicker, as if an incredible pressure was flowing around him, making it difficult for others to approach! Soon… the energy outside Happy’s body became visible to the naked eye! The prisoner at the Mythical Realm unconsciously stepped back two or three steps, staring at the increasingly visible internal energy around Happy, murmuring, “Is this…?” Before he could finish speaking, the swirling energy around Happy suddenly transformed into a scene—a lotus flower blooming quietly, floating mysteriously above his head! “…” The prisoner’s eyes bulged instantly! Three gasps were heard in the prison cell, undisturbed by anyone else. Three people, six pairs of eyes, were fixed on the second lotus flower that had bloomed outside Happy’s body… It wasn’t over yet! As the second lotus flower appeared clearly beside the first, soon a shadow of a third lotus flower appeared outside Happy’s body. “No wonder!” The expert at the Mythical Realm standing in front of Happy was stunned, muttering indistinctly, “No wonder he could take so many of my slaps…” “Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit! It’s really the Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit—signs that the Eight Meridians are unblocked!” “Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit!” As soon as those words were spoken, the last lotus flower shone brightly, arranged in a triangular pattern above Happy’s head… The three lotuses made Happy appear like an immortal! But this phenomenon didn’t last long… “Snap!” With a sound of something breaking, the three lotuses vanished like bubbles, and all the strange phenomena surrounding Happy also disappeared instantly. “…” Happy took a deep breath. The energy surrounding him immediately rushed back into his body like a tide! His aura soared rapidly at that moment! “…” Happy suddenly opened his eyes. The prisoner at the Mythical Realm felt as if his eyes were scorched by divine light the moment they met Happy’s gaze, but that feeling vanished quickly… The essence retracted! Happy’s eyes returned to normal.

The crystal-clear light emanating from his entire body vanished the moment the true energy was absorbed into his body, leaving him in a seemingly ordinary state once again. He lowered his head and happily felt the power in his hands… It was truly remarkable. Even after mastering the Nine Yang Divine Art to the master level, he had never experienced such a mysterious sensation. The world seemed to become exceptionally clear and transparent; his senses were sharp, allowing him to clearly sense four pairs of gazes coming from not far away, as well as the rapid, excited heartbeat of those two people… He clenched his fingers tightly. His internal energy condensed and then dissipated instantly. After repeating this several times, joy appeared on Happy’s face. “With the meridians unblocked, my attack speed has significantly increased, and the density of my internal energy is also higher than before—my attacks should be stronger… Great!” With a thought, Happy stood upright silently! The entire process produced not a hint of wind, as if the surrounding air was completely controlled by the true energy outside his body… “An energy field?” Happy raised his eyebrows slightly, his joy growing even stronger. The next moment, an astonishing surge of true energy quickly surrounded his body, filling every direction thickly… Happy casually sensed the true energy he had released, observing the rate at which it was consumed, and quickly realized something: “It’s a defensive energy field.” Happy casually threw a palm strike through the air! “Bang!” A dent appeared on the wall not far away. There was not a trace of wind during the entire process. It was as if a shadow suddenly appeared in the air—appearing in an instant and disappearing just as quickly! The speed was astonishing! “Since it’s the same true energy field, it won’t affect my own movements and attacks. I wonder what effect it will have on others…” Happy glanced back at the prisoner at the Mythical Realm level across from him: “Attack me with all your strength—three palm strikes.” “…” By now, there was no trace of contempt in the prisoner’s eyes. Hearing this, he took a deep breath solemnly and assumed a stance for cultivating energy. “Hah!” As soon as the Mythical Realm warrior struck, Happy immediately felt that the situation had changed drastically. After all, he had already endured over three thousand palm strikes from three Mythical Realm experts, and their strength and speed were deeply ingrained in Happy’s mind. But this time, an instinctive thought arose in Happy’s mind: “So slow!” “Their strength isn’t something to fear either.” Almost the moment the opponent struck, Happy had clearly captured the trajectory of the attack and roughly assessed its strength. Bang! Bang!! Three consecutive palm strikes.

A strange scene unfolded.
When the first punch struck the energy field spread three feet around him, its power seemed to be eroded, weakening rapidly. By the time it hit his body, Kai Xin could no longer feel the sharp, unstoppable force it had once possessed.
His shoulder only swayed slightly before returning to normal…
The next two punches also had greatly reduced strength.
Kai Xin staggered a step and a half before stopping, frowning as he stared at the Mythical Realm prisoner before him.
“I told you to attack me with all your strength!”
“…”
The Mythical Realm expert was speechless for a second before feeling utterly ashamed:
For heaven’s sake! I definitely used 100% of my strength just now!
