章 54: Killing With a Smile

Feng Fan might sound arrogant, but he wasn't a fool. His confidence came from the number of meridians he had awakened. 

Currently, he had already awakened 40 meridians and was certain he could awaken even more inside the pocket dimension.

Compared to most participants, this was no small feat. For instance, someone cultivating a low-tier Earthly-grade manual would only awaken up to 54 meridians at the peak of the 9th stage.

In the Qi Gathering realm, the number of awakened meridians directly correlated to a cultivator's strength.

Take Huang Xue and Xue Qiang, for example. Even though they were only at the 5th stage, their high-grade cultivation manual allowed them to awaken up to 120 meridians. So far, they had awakened between 54 and 66, making them stronger than most 9th-stage cultivators from low-tier sects.
