With a thought from Lu Yun, the pure and unyielding Pure Yang Aura erupted like a sharp arrow shooting out.
Boom! A crack appeared in the 300 pounds stone lock on the ground.
“Is this Pure Yang Aura? It’s so powerful!”
Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Although the amount of Pure Yang Aura was about half of his previous True Qi, it greatly boosted his strength in a way that his previous True Qi could never compare with.
He didn’t waste time and continued to add points.
Since there were no adverse effects after consuming ten energy points at once, this meant that his physical body must have undergone a transformation, and its ability to withstand energy points has also improved.
This continuous consumption of energy points twice resulted in his Pure Yang Aura reaching Small Achievement (1%).
As his Dantian started filling up with Pure Yang Aura, it began to head towards the first meridian.
Puchi!
With a crisp sound, Lu Yun’s first meridian was opened, and the aggressive aura circulated within his body.
“It was opened so easily?” Feeling the surge of aggressive aura, Lu Yun was overjoyed.
For martial artists in the Meridian Passage Realm, their meridians are like rivers, True Qi is like flowing water, and the Dantian is a lake where the True Qi circulates.
As the number of meridians increases, the circulating True Qi also increases, resulting in a higher amount of True Qi in the Dantian.
Now that Lu Yun has opened the first meridian, his aggressive aura began to increase rapidly, flowing along the meridians into the Dantian, and repeating the cycle.
After the first meridian was opened, the aggressive aura in the Dantian went towards the second meridian.
Chi!
Before long, the second meridian was opened, and the amount of aggressive aura surged again.
Chi! The third meridian was opened, and the aggressive aura increased dramatically!
Chi! The fourth meridian was opened, and the aggressive aura increased dramatically!
Four meridians had been opened in one go, and the boost that Pure Yang Aura brought to Lu Yun when it reached Small Achievement finally stopped.
“What a mighty aggressive aura!”
Lu Yun felt stronger than ever before.
Four meridians were all filled with Pure Yang Aura, like a mighty river rushing forward.
“It’s truly a top-notch martial art, just at Small Achievement, it has opened four meridians, and the power is so fierce.”
Overjoyed, Lu Yun opened his panel.

“It’s time to go to the Myriad Phenomena Tower!”
An hour later.
Lu Yun appeared before a huge tower.
There was a bustling crowd around, and Lu Yun even spotted several familiar faces from Cloud Water County.
“Lu Yun, with your mere Enter Martial Realm middle stage cultivation, you think of challenging the Myriad Phenomena Tower?” Mu Qingyun walked up to Lu Yun with a mocking look on his face.
At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from his body, clearly at the peak of the Enter Martial Realm, only one step away from the Meridian Passage Realm.
Lu Yun couldn’t help but frown, thinking to himself, “Why did I encounter this guy? Is he trying to force me to slap him in the face?”
“Little Brother Mu, Lu Yun is an elite disciple, and he’s considered our senior brother. You should show some respect, or else be careful, he might make things difficult for you.”
Suddenly, a young man walked over, his face full of contempt, and a stronger aura emanating from his body.
Obviously, this person’s cultivation was even more advanced than Mu Qingyun’s, having already broken through to the Meridian Passage Realm.
“Chen Tianqi?”
Seeing this young man, Lu Yun began to recall his name in his mind, and he did succeed in remembering it.
Chen Tianqi performed extraordinarily well in the assessment, with a top Level 4 Innate Talent, his natural talent was only below Xiao Chen and Lu Yun.
As for his strength, he had reached the peak of the Enter Martial Realm, scoring 91 points on the Measuring Strength Pillar, making him the second strongest among the disciples from Cloud Water County.
“Oh? I didn’t expect that ‘Senior Brother Lu’ would remember a little brother like me; this is quite a surprise?”
Chen Tianqi put heavy emphasis on the words ‘Senior Brother Lu’, attracting the attention of the people around him.
“Elite disciples are not unchangeable, especially those newcomers who just entered the Entry Level. If they can’t break through to the Meridian Passage Realm within a year, they will be demoted to ordinary disciples.” Mu Qingyun pretended not to understand Chen Tianqi’s words and said sarcastically on the side.
“Brother Mu, don’t forget that our Lu Yun is a Level 5 Innate Talent genius. Isn’t breaking into the Meridian Passage Realm as simple as drinking water for him?”
“I know that, of course. But that’s true only under the condition that he has abundant cultivation resources. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to break through from the early stage of the Enter Martial Realm to the Meridian Passage Realm within a year, hehe…”
Watching the two of them arguing, Lu Yun felt speechless in his heart.
Other transmigrators always encounter such matters: they either have sharp tongues, or they like to pretend to be weak while being strong, or their natural talent is indeed not up to par.
But why had things changed when it came to him?
First, he hadn’t offended them; secondly, his natural talent wasn’t bad either. Yet, some people still wanted to provoke him for no reason, which was quite strange.
Could it be that all transmigrators had to experience being mocked and then proving themselves in order to show the uniqueness of being a transmigrator?
“Lu Yun, you should go back and practice well before coming to Myriad Phenomena Tower, otherwise you’ll lose face for Cloud Water County!” Mu Qingyun said coldly.
“Oh? Why would I lose face for Cloud Water County?” Lu Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“Think about it. A proud genius with the second highest talent in Cloud Water County, one of only two Level 5 Innate Talents, fails to pass even the first level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Wouldn’t that bring shame upon the entire Cloud Water County?”
“If anything, it would be me who loses face, not Cloud Water County. And what does it have to do with you?”
Lu Yun said calmly before walking past Mu Qingyun and Chen Tianqi towards the direction of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Whoosh!
Mu Qingyun suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun to block his path, sneering, “If you can withstand one move from me, I’ll let you enter the Myriad Phenomena Tower. How about that?”
Ever since the assessment, Mu Qingyun had been harboring dissatisfaction with Lu Yun, but he hadn’t found the right opportunity. Now, having just made a breakthrough and encountering Lu Yun in such a place, he naturally wanted to make things difficult for him.
“Brother Mu, what are you doing? We’re all from Cloud Water County. Don’t hurt our harmony!”
Chen Tianqi stood to the side, watching the drama unfold, arms folded and smiling.
“Because we’re all from Cloud Water County, I must test his strength.” Mu Qingyun chimed in, then looked at Lu Yun, saying, “You can’t even handle one move from me, can you? If that’s the case, you’d better scram!”
Lu Yun glanced at Mu Qingyun in front of him, then looked at Chen Tianqi watching the drama from the sidelines, and shook his head slightly, calmly saying, “Do you know what a jumping clown is?”
Mu Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting Lu Yun to remain so calm in the face of his provocations and taunts.
“You’re saying we’re jumping clowns?” Realizing what Lu Yun meant, Mu Qingyun flew into a rage.
“A jumping clown is someone who barely has some strength, yet acts arrogantly and doesn’t recognize the situation, foolishly courting death.”
Lu Yun’s words instantly turned Mu Qingyun’s face dark green.
“Humph, let’s see who the real jumping clown is!” Mu Qingyun snorted coldly, his powerful aura, belonging to the Enter Martial Realm, exploded out. He charged at Lu Yun with lightning speed.
“Hmph, just because you have some talent, you think you’re unrivaled!” Chen Tianqi’s face was gloomy as he coldly watched Lu Yun, waiting to see his humiliation after being defeated by Mu Qingyun.
The others also adopted a posture of watching a good show and gathered around too.
Mu Qingyun’s anger and jealousy erupted in his chest as he rushed in front of Lu Yun, throwing a heavy punch at him. The powerful momentum on his fist surged out, creating an astonishing noise.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled groan, and to everyone’s amazement, they felt a strong aggressive aura erupt followed by Mu Qingyun being sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground more than ten meters away. His abdomen was slightly caved in, and blood gushed from his mouth.
Lu Yun calmly withdrew his right hand, glanced at an astonished Chen Tianqi without saying a single word, and walked away without looking back.
Sometimes, a single look could be far more intimidating than any harsh words!
