Chapter 136: Breakthrough on the Battlefield
The sounds inside his body grew louder and louder. To outsiders, they could only hear a series of popping sounds, but to Xiao Chong himself, the sounds were like waves crashing higher and higher.
A surge of vital energy coursed through his body, flowing ceaselessly along all his meridians. His meridians felt as if they were filled with boiling water, the scalding currents threatening to burst them open at any moment.
If Xiao Chong's meridians were like a babbling brook before, with a trickle flowing through them, then now they are more like a flash flood, with the floodwaters rushing into the stream and threatening to wash away the riverbed.
This feeling is incredibly blissful. Under the impact of massive amounts of Yuan energy, every hair and pore on the body is filled with Yuan energy, making one feel full of power, like being injected with chicken blood, and indifferent to everything.
This feeling was simultaneously incredibly painful. Because it was uncontrollable, this power became extremely dangerous; the slightest carelessness could shatter a person's meridians, inevitably resulting in death by explosion.
Xiao Chong absolutely did not want to die such a gruesome death, so he could only temporarily put aside everything in front of him, close his eyes and endure the pain, focusing all his attention on fighting against this Yuan energy.
If you survive, all will be well; if you don't, you will die. This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for carelessness.
Yokoyama was even more anxious than Xiao Chong. He only knew that Xiao Chong had absorbed too much Yuan energy at once and was in great danger, but he didn't know just how serious that danger was.
Moreover, he was also responsible for protecting Xiao Chong. In Xiao Chong's current state, although his body was full of Yuan Power, he couldn't spare any attention to deal with anything that happened around him.
Therefore, he could only desperately hold off the two giant bulls to prevent them from getting close, while stealing glances at Xiao Chong.
Xiao Chong's expression was now twisted and terrifying. Due to the pain, his facial features twitched together, as if he were wearing an ugly mask.
The excess Yuan energy within his body surged like the Yangtze River, pouring down from the heavens and crashing into the riverbed. The Yuan energy coursed wildly through his meridians, emitting a faint gurgling sound, as if it were about to burst forth from his body at any moment.
Upon hearing this sound, Yokoyama was utterly shocked and didn't know whether to feel fortunate or worried for Xiao Chong.
Generally speaking, in a situation like Xiao Chong's, there are only two possible outcomes. One is that he endures hardship and difficulty, and then his martial arts cultivation undergoes a substantial and significant improvement.
Another type is those who cannot withstand the impact of high-intensity Yuan energy, eventually having their meridians severed, becoming crippled and unable to cultivate for the rest of their lives.
Of course, very few people can successfully pass this test; it's one in ten thousand. The more likely outcome is that they will explode and die, turning into a pile of minced meat that becomes fertilizer to nourish the world.
Yokoyama had personally witnessed an outstanding member of the clan die after accidentally ingesting a pill that could rapidly increase one's Yuan Power.
The disciple even alarmed several elders in the clan. The elders tried everything they could but could not resolve the situation, and were left in a sorry state by the aftershocks of the explosion.
Therefore, Yokoyama didn't really expect Xiao Chong to survive this ordeal. It was only because the two had gotten along well during this time and because he had feelings for him deep down that he didn't abandon him.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Faced with this situation, I, your foolish brother, am helpless. I can only hold off these two giant bulls for you for now, and the rest is up to your destiny.
Seeing Xiao Chong trembling all over, his clothes being torn apart by the bulging muscles under his skin, leaving him only in a pair of shorts, Yokoyama could only sigh inwardly and look at him with a look of despair.
In his eyes, Xiao Chong's sudden death was only a matter of moments. Because the other party's current condition was exactly the same as that of other members of the clan at the time of their death.
Xiao Chong was unaware that in Hengshan's eyes, he was no different from a dead man. He was desperately mobilizing all his potential to resolve this unprecedented crisis.
The vital energy within the body originates from the dantian, travels upwards along the meridians, and uncontrollably surges into the blood, internal organs, muscles, and even bones it passes through.
Wherever the Yuan energy passes, the skin on the body surface bulges and bounces like an inflated air sac, and the blood vessels that were originally not noticeable under the skin also bulge out like green snakes as thick as a thumb, moving rapidly upward with the Yuan energy.
As Hengshan had predicted, the green snake swam across Xiao Chong's neck, stretching the carotid arteries on both sides of his neck into ropes as thick as two eggs. Hengshan turned his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.
It's over. Yuan energy has entered his brain; even a god couldn't save him! Even if he's lucky enough to survive, he'll end up as an idiot, with absolutely no future blessings. This thought flashed through Hengshan's mind, making him feel a chill in his heart.
In his eyes, if a martial artist becomes an idiot, not only will he be unable to cultivate, but he will also be subjected to cold words and humiliation. It would be better for him to die and disappear from the world.
Xiao Chong was naturally unaware that in that short moment, such complex thoughts had already crossed Hengshan's mind. He only felt that as his Yuan energy rose, his body's endurance had reached its limit, like a powder keg that would explode if a single spark were thrown in.
He desperately wanted to stop the flow of energy, but he was powerless to do so.
Is simply exploding the body not enough? Do they have to explode the head first? Who said people remember many things before they die? Why are the things I think of so trivial?
Feeling the Yuan energy already passing through his neck and about to enter his head, Xiao Chong suddenly felt like crying, yet also like laughing.
But whether he cried or laughed, it wouldn't affect the upward flow of his Yuan energy. The next moment, that Yuan energy rushed into his brow.
A sudden change occurred!
There was originally a tiny blood bead, smaller than a pinhead, suspended between his brows. It was a remnant of the cauldron spirit's blood essence that hadn't completely dissipated last time. Now, this blood bead suddenly jumped up and instantly absorbed the energy completely.
Immediately afterwards, the space between his eyebrows began to vibrate violently, and the blood bead transformed into a wisp of blood energy, carrying immense power, and spread into Xiao Chong's entire body like an inverted Milky Way.

Three muffled, thunderous sounds emanated from within his body, causing Xiao Chong to tremble violently. He felt as if three acupoints in his body had been opened by this wisp of blood energy.
Including the acupoints he had previously opened, he now had exactly thirty-two acupoints open in his body. The opening of thirty-two acupoints signifies that a martial artist's martial arts cultivation has broken through from the Martial Apprentice Realm to the Martial Life Realm.
Noticing this change within his body, Xiao Chong suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
Yokoyama also heard the three muffled thuds. Since these three muffled thuds were very different from the sound of an explosion he had imagined, he curiously turned his gaze back to Xiao Chong.
Just as Xiao Chong opened his eyes, Hengshan glanced over and was immediately stunned by the changes in the other person.
