Chapter 763: Yang Acupoint (2)

Chapter 763: Yang Acupoint (2)

On the 3rd of May, Su Yu left the room.

After enjoying an entire Sunmoon character himself, he had a wide smile on his face. He had gained a lot. The change character had barely entered the third tier. As he had been constantly working on his body with heavenly source qi, he was also almost done with his eighth forging.

Eight days had passed since his seventh forging. With sufficient heavenly source qi, he would be able to complete a forging in about half a month.

He now had twenty-one characters, with both the change and deceit characters at the third tier. He had also learned the looping turtle race's concealment technique without much trouble. He was also on the verge of completing his eighth forging. As for his cultural weapon, he had switched to the profound-grade cultural weapon he forged himself.

His new weapon was not a saber. Rather, it was a hammer. After all, wasn't it natural for him to use a hammer as a weaponsmith? Of course, this new profound weapon of his did not feel any stronger than the yellow weapon he used previously. Sure enough, a 36-stripe weapon forged by his Teacher Zhao Li was still very impressive.

At this point, he was fully ready to leave. The only thing lacking was the upgrade of the Perception Jade. Also, there was also the matter of his new identity. He needed Niu Baidao's help with that.

Sure, he could do the same with Xu Bin's help. After all, that was the president of the Travelling Merchants Association. There were all sorts of people in the association. Something like a fake identity wouldn't pose him much trouble. But he also needed to be wary of potential betrayal if he looked for Xu Bin. Thus, Niu Baidao was the better choice.

***

Su Yu lived a busy but fulfilling life as he continued preparing for his departure. On the 5th of May, he finally recovered all 144 of his detonated acupoints. Only 40 days had passed since he detonated them. That was an astonishing speed. Having made a full recovery, Su Yu was no longer in a rush to go looking for Niu Baidao as he had something else to do.

Inside the cultivation room.

Su Yu was feeling very excited. Now that he had fully recovered, it was time for him to work on the yang acupoint.

During his fight with Shan Xiong, he intended to use Shan Xiong to test the might of his acupoint detonation. Like Bai Feng, he was unwilling to detonate his acupoints just like that. When Bai Feng detonated his characters, he had used Xia Yuwen as the punching bag and nearly killed Xia Yuwen. Nobody knew that he was already planning to detonate his characters even before that.

Su Yu felt like it would be a waste to just detonate his acupoints for no gains. Thus, he was more than willing to use it to fight Shan Xiong.

"Yang acupoint!"

After inhaling deeply, his acupoints lit up one after another. All 360 acupoints were separated yet again. With 360 dots of light all over his body, he turned into a glowing man. He consumed a large amount of source qi liquid as he did so.

Before long, the 360 dots of light started circulating by themselves in a predetermined path. That was a relatively perfect path, and it didn't look like they could tolerate the insertion of an additional acupoint.

But Su Yu knew that it was not necessary to link the yang acupoint with his other acupoints. He stimulated all 360 of his acupoints and focused the energy on the spot he discovered during the detonation.

Slowly, at the very center of his body, a dot of light slowly showed itself. That spot was right above his navel, and it was also located within the central axis of his body. The flickering light did not appear on the surface of his skin. Rather, it was deep inside his body. It existed in a sort of separate dimension, completely separate from his flesh.

The dot flickered faintly as the energy of all 360 acupoints started entering that dot of light. Su Yu hurriedly stopped the process.

As he read, he muttered, "Those from the Bai Family must have tried this before. After detonating their own acupoints, they found the yang acupoint. But that might have resulted in death or the crippling of the person who had made the attempt. If that person managed to survive, the yang acupoint would have continued absorbing source qi and growing. There is no way to stop it. In that case, this person must have been resisting the yang acupoint's absorption all these while..."

At that moment, Su Yu thought of one person. Bai Feng's grandfather. He was a Mountainsea who had remained in seclusion for many years. Was he really cultivating in seclusion or was he forced to do so because he was unable to shut the yang acupoint after opening it?

Su Yu grimaced as he thought about it. If that was true, Bai Feng's grandfather must be on the verge of death. Wait, that yang acupoint was probably on the verge of explosion. After absorbing the source qi of a Mountainsea for so many years...that explosion would probably be strong enough to kill a Sunmoon.

Of course, that old man would definitely not survive the explosion.

"His only hope of survival is to balance the yang acupoint with the yin acupoint. But whaat a pity that not even I have the way to find the yin acupoint. He has no hope of finding that acupoint himself."

Su Yu shook his head helplessly. Was he right? Had Bai Feng's grandfather turned himself into a super human bomb? Was there really an uncontrollable yang acupoint that was constantly absorbing his source qi in his body?

This did not happen to Su Yu as he had only opened it slightly. Without first discovering the yin acupoint, even with 360 acupoints, he still wouldn't be able to supply the yang acupoint with the energy it needed.

Su Yu rubbed his chin as he thought of something else. The yang acupoint worked by absorbing the energy of all his other acupoints. That would be similar to the Mountainsea Realm where one would start fusing all acupoints into one.

What did that signify? That signified that fully opening the yang acupoint would grant one the strength of a Sunmoon. Then again, one wouldn't be completely the same as a proper Sunmoon. As for what the difference would be, Su Yu was still unsure. Perhaps he would only understand after experiencing it himself.

"A Sunmoon has only one acupoint. The yang point will drain all the acupoints, leaving one with basically one functioning acupoint as well. In that case, will the yang acupoint be helpful for a Sunmoon?"

There was no way for him to test that. He didn't even dare to rashly open his yang acupoint. If he really did so, he would probably be forced to hide in seclusion and spend all his time only dealing with the absorption power.

"But slightly opening the yang acupoint is still an option. The yang acupoint can at least grant me the strength of an additional body forging. No, with how tyrannical the power is, it will probably grant me the strength of two body forgings."

Su Yu was very impressed with the yang acupoint. Just opening it slightly would grant him that much strength. What would happen if he could fully open it?

Perhaps his strength would directly double? The double here was not the same as him being as strong as two of him before opening the acupoint. Rather, it would have a multiplicative effect. Bai Tianhao was the best example of that as the yang acupoint had given him enough strength to kill a Mountainsea as a Cloudbreach.

"This will be a new trump card of mine."

Even though he wasn't able to fully open the yang acupoint, Su Yu was still very happy about it. When his body grew enough to withstand the power of Mountainsea blood essence, the power of the yang acupoint combined with Mountainsea blood essence would grant him even more strength.

And coupled with his willpower and numerous trump cards...He would probably end up as strong as regular Mountainseas.

"After going through the nine transformations of Cloudbreach, a regular warrior will probably have the strength of ten thousand acupoints at the Mountainsea Realm."

According to Su Yu's calculation, that should be the basic level of a Mountainsea. As long as one had seventy-two acupoints opened, one would be able to reach the Mountainsea Realm and gain that level of strength.
