Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Opening the Governor and Conception Vessels
Actually, the Dragon Tattoo Energy in Wang Hao’s body had already been completely depleted, with only a faint glimmer of light still emanating from his chest area, and even those light spots were newly formed by the Heart of the Dragon.
However, there was no trace of the Dragon Tattoo Energy to be found throughout his entire meridian system, which suggested that his body should be in a state of extreme exhaustion. Yet, he felt no sense of fatigue at all.
Wang Hao simply could not understand what was happening.
Just as he was puzzled, the energy in his body had recovered a bit, and those faint light spots began to move swiftly through the meridians of his body.
In a matter of minutes, these light spots had already made a complete circuit through Wang Hao’s meridians.
Besides that, there was nothing else unusual.
There was just one thing Wang Hao found strange: these energy light spots traveled through all the meridians in his body, except for the newly emerged one. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
While Wang Hao was still feeling bewildered, the energy light spots suddenly jumped into this strange meridian.
Initially, the energy light spots moved very slowly, and Wang Hao remembered that this meridian was blocked by several protruding points, which the Dragon Tattoo Energy had never managed to break through before.
But this time, the energy light spots smoothly glided past, and Wang Hao also noticed that as the light spot passed the first protrusion, the speed of its movement noticeably increased.
In a blink of an eye, the speed at which these energy light spots moved grew faster and faster, resembling lightning, and Wang Hao’s body felt filled with strength.
Not to mention fatigue, even that part of his body was becoming stronger.
What in the world was going on?
Wang Hao felt extremely shocked. What was this strange meridian, and why had his body undergone so many changes since it appeared?
Before, when this meridian was blocked, there was no noticeable difference from before in his body. But since these blockages had been cleared, he could suddenly feel his body becoming much stronger.
If Wang Hao’s mind had not been stable, allowing him to maintain control, he felt that he would have taken flight.
This feeling was not great at all—if one day he couldn’t control this sensation and tried to jump from a tall building to test it, he would surely be risking his life!
Wang Hao quickly shook his head, opened his eyes, and refreshed himself.
"Uncle Shen is a genius in martial arts training, I should ask him tomorrow," he thought.
With this in mind, Wang Hao lay down again to sleep, but he couldn’t fall asleep all night.
Having struggled through, he got up early the next day and went to look for Uncle Shen, who was practicing his boxing in the garden.
"Uncle Shen, I want to ask you about something. It’s about a friend of mine who has developed a strange ailment from martial arts training. It seems like an extra meridian has appeared in his body. Do you know what might be the cause?"
Even before Uncle Shen could finish his boxing, Wang Hao couldn’t wait to ask.
"Meridian?"
Uncle Shen was taken aback upon hearing this. freёwebnovel.com
"Your friend is so impressive, able to sense his own meridians?"
"The specifics, I’m not sure of. You know how these martial artists can be, always so secretive. Could it be that he has trained to the point of deviation?"
Wang Hao inquired with concern. He wasn’t really talking about a friend—this person was himself.
"What’s different about this meridian compared to the others in his body?"
Uncle Shen smiled, shook his head, and thought that Wang Hao’s friend must be a martial arts fanatic, whose obsession with training had led to wild thoughts.
"This meridian wasn’t there before; it suddenly appeared later on. And in the middle of this meridian there were several blockages, which I’ve heard have recently been cleared!"
Wang Hao briefly described the situation.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Shen’s face suddenly turned pale.
"Also, after those blockages were cleared, he felt like he had endless strength. He was extremely energetic, sometimes staying awake all night. What do you make of that?"
Wang Hao described the details of the event as if it were about a real friend of his.
However, upon hearing this, Shen Bo suddenly grabbed Wang Hao’s arm, becoming visibly agitated.
"Shen Bo, what’s wrong? Are you okay?"
Wang Hao noticed the change in Shen Bo and, worried that something might be wrong with his health, asked concernedly.
"I’m fine! Don’t worry!"
Struggling to swallow, Shen Bo calmed himself before speaking.
"This means he has opened up all the meridians in his body, including the governor and conception vessels. Your friend is quite the martial arts prodigy, I tell you. Very few have achieved this to date, and those who have can be considered grandmasters!"
"What? The governor and... the conception vessels?"
Wang Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking Shen Bo couldn’t be serious. Such things were usually found only in martial arts dramas, and moreover, he had never heard of the governor and conception vessels in medical science!
Seeing the incredulous look on Wang Hao’s face, Shen Bo continued to explain.
"Actually, not everyone can open these vessels, nor are they meridians that one is born with. Usually, a martial artist cultivates a new meridian from their dantian during years of practice."
"If they’re not opened, it’s just an extra meridian, and there’s no significant change to one’s body."
"But once the governor and conception vessels are opened, the qi from the dantian will circulate through these meridians, giving one inexhaustible strength."
"Really? Such miraculous things exist?"
Wang Hao remained skeptical, finding the concept too far-fetched, just like something out of a martial arts novel, and utterly unrealistic.
"Haha!"
Seeing Wang Hao’s reaction, Shen Bo laughed before adding,
"As to whether it’s real or not, I can’t verify because I’ve only heard about it too. It’s a legend within the entire martial arts community."
"Though it’s only a legend, I think it makes sense because modern medicine has proven that the meridians of those who practice martial arts over the years are indeed stronger than those of ordinary people."
"Anyhow, no one has come forth to actually verify it, so it’s a case of believing makes it real, and disbelief makes it false. Anyway, I haven’t opened the governor and conception vessels even at my old age, so I can’t confirm it."
Shen Bo then waved his hand dismissively, indicating to Wang Hao not to be too concerned with the authenticity.
But as he turned away, Shen Bo’s expression suddenly changed drastically.
Even though what Shen Bo said sounded mysterious, everything he described matched the phenomena within Wang Hao’s body perfectly.
"Could it be that I’ve actually opened the governor and conception vessels? Could such a miraculous thing happen? I haven’t been practicing martial arts for that long, have I?"
Wang Hao was secretly astounded, but of course, he wouldn’t voice these thoughts in front of Shen Bo.
If what Shen Bo had described were true, wouldn’t he have become a martial arts master?
Shen Bo said no more, and Wang Hao wasn’t about to reveal his secrets. Whether Shen Bo’s words were true or false, Wang Hao felt it wasn’t a bad thing at all.
After breakfast, Wang Hao and Sun Laotian stayed at the Wen Family’s residence, waiting for the evening to hear Wen Yonglin’s arrangements.
Although Wen Yonglin said he would arrange to send them back the day before, he had not specified how.
Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong rushed off after breakfast, so Wang Hao didn’t get a chance to ask for details.
However, today Wen Xiaowei and Wen Zicong also seemed to be staying at home and did not go out.
