Just as he thought, Flender looked through almost all the books in his collection after leaving, but couldn't find a single word. Even though his spirit power is now as high as level 75, it is still far behind the powerful families who have their knowledge passed down for a long time. The original martial spirit appeared a long time ago. Even if there are records of that era, there are very few records. I am afraid that only the Spirit Hall and the Top Three Sect have such records.
....
Gu Yi did not continue to practice his spirit power at this time, but began to exercise his body. The body is the capital of revolution, and his martial spirit relies on the body, which is the most important thing to him. As for his method of exercising, he is not as old-fashioned as Yu Xiaogang. He only has one method: running with weights. As a modern person, even if he is not a professional fitness expert, he still knows some exercise methods. He had already used methods like push-ups and sit-ups, which made his body much stronger than an ordinary child. Of course, he couldn't compare to Tang San, after all, he had the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
After his martial spirit awakening, Gu Yi could feel that all attributes of his body had improved a lot, especially his body's toughness. Exercise also depends on talent. In the past, his physical talent was pretty good, his strength was growing at a fast pace, and he could support greater exercise. For example, in the current situation, before he awakened his martial spirit, fifty push-ups was his limit. Now he could easily reach two hundred, and his body was only a little sore, so he could at least do another hundred. This is not just an improvement in strength, but more importantly, physical toughness. After exercising all parts, there is no need to massage the body as before. The spirit power in the body can nourish the body very well.
Gu Yi sat on the ground and began to practice the very rudimentary internal energy he had just created. After just practicing for a while, the soreness and weakness in the body disappeared. The spirit power in the body was also improved a bit more than before. It can be clearly felt that more spirit power has been absorbed. "I didn't expect that after extreme exercise, the speed of absorbing spirit power would also increase. It seems that this kind of training will need to be strengthened in the future."
Gu Yi came to the cafeteria. Even though he is the only prospective student in Shrek Academy, the cafeteria is still open. But the food is not very good. After all, even if Flender is a Spirit Saint, he has no background, and is not a noble, it is normal for him to be short of money.
After eating, Gu Yi came to Flender' office. Perhaps to show off the dean's erudition, there was a large collection of books here. This is also the purpose of his coming here, to read. Over the years, he has read almost all the books here. He has learned a lot about the customs, affairs of the empire, and information on spirit beasts. And the reason why he came here now was to find a spirit beast for his first soul ring.
His martial spirit is unprecedented and no one knows how to cultivate it. If you want to find the most suitable spirit beast, you can only find it yourself. The original martial spirit used the human body as the martial spirit. The more important it is in the human body, the more powerful it will be. Just like Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye martial spirit, it is not only the eyes, but also the brain. That's why he was able to become the most mentally powerful person in the entire Douluo Continent. Even after becoming a god, his spiritual consciousness was also number one in the God Realm. Of course, his meridian martial spirit is not weak either, it may even be stronger. The meridians include the entire human body, from the brain to the toes. They are inseparable from the meridians. The only question is how to practice it. Gu Yi couldn't come up with an idea for a while, but there was no need to be too anxious about it. After all, he still had some distance to go before reaching level ten.
....
Time flies by, spring passes and autumn comes, and six months can be said to have passed in the blink of an eye. In the early morning, before dawn, there was a child running in Shrek Academy. His pink and tender face was already covered with sweat. It was obvious that he had not just started running. The broken hair on his head was stained with sweat and clung to his forehead, looking a bit embarrassed. Even in such a state of embarrassment, the child's breathing rhythm was not disordered and remained regular.
The child is our protagonist, Gu Yi. Compared with six months ago, Gu Yi has changed a lot now. Not only has his height increased a lot, but his baby fat has also become much smaller. I don't know if it's due to the influence of the spirit power, but even in the past six months, his skin has been exposed to the sun and is extremely pink and white, looking like a young shota.
As the last lap came to an end, Gu Yi did not waste any time, sat down cross-legged and began to practice his spirit power. The spirit power in the body travels along a specific route, absorbing the spirit power from the outside world. As the spirit power returns to the lower abdomen again, the total amount increases.
"It seems it's time to go hunting for spirit ring." Gu Yi stood up and looked at the sun that had just emerged, full of energy. In the past six months, he used his own meridians and martial spirit to constantly test the boundaries of his cultivation. The originally rudimentary running route had increased countless times, and his cultivation speed also continued to increase.
What's more important is that he opened up the Yang Wei(Yang connecting) meridian[1] one of the eight extraordinary meridians, which not only greatly increased the speed of his practice, but also brought him a level of improvement. It is precisely because of this that he was able to advance to level ten in just six months. You must know that Tang San only open one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians when he was thirteen years old. You can imagine how difficult it was to get through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. And all of this is due to his own meridian martial spirit, which can control his own meridians, and the eight extraordinary meridians are naturally among them. And he has already thought about how to progress next.
Gu Yi stretched out his right hand, and a sharp spirit power was released from his ring finger, leaving a hole on the ground. Seeing this effect, he was still a little dissatisfied. Not only did the meridians in his fingers feel a little painful, but the effect was not as good as he imagined.
This is his future path. Martial arts. Five months ago, I had been thinking about how to cultivate my own meridian martial spirit. The meridians have no attack power, even if the most powerful spirit beast in the world is attached to it, it will be useless. Since it doesn't work according to this world's thinking, let's simply change to another world's thinking. Meridians are useless in this world, but they are extremely important in another world. They are the wealth and life of those who practice martial arts. Learn martial arts. Such an idea popped into my mind and I couldn't get it out of my mind. Since meridians cannot be directly converted into combat power, give it a converter. There were so many concepts about martial arts in his's previous life, but now they have come to this world with extraordinary power. If they were presented one by one, they would definitely not be weak.
Tang San was able to control the Douluo Continent by relying on the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and martial arts, so why couldn't he use earth's martial arts concepts to control the Douluo Continent. That's what he intends to do now.
He has reproduced the spirit power version of the Guan Chong(Pass and Thrust) Sword of the Six Meridian Divine Swords[2], because now he has only opened up the Yangwei Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which corresponds to the Shaoyang(Lesser Yang) Triple Burner Meridian[3] of the Hand. It's just that it's still far behind the Six Meridians Divine Sword in his memory, and there's still a long way to go.

Glossary:-
[1]Yang Wei- It is one of the eight extraordinary meridians and these extraordinary meridians are considered deeper and more profound in their functions compared to the twelve primary meridians. It is associated with the element of Wood and is considered to have a significant impact on the muscles, tendons, and joints of the body. It starts from the outer canthus of the eye, travels up along the side of the head, through the neck, shoulders, and down the sides of the body, ending at the lateral side of the foot. In TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory, the Yang Wei meridian is believed to play a role in regulating the circulation of Qi and blood, as well as helping to maintain the balance of energy between the internal organs and the external environment. Imbalances or blockages in the Yang Wei meridian may manifest as symptoms such as stiffness or pain in the neck, shoulders, and sides of the body.
[2]Six Meridian Divine Swords- The "Six Meridian Divine Swords" is a concept that originates from Chinese martial arts and TCM, blending both the philosophical and practical aspects of these disciplines. This concept intertwines the understanding of meridians, which are energy pathways in the body according to TCM, with martial arts techniques, particularly swordsmanship. In Traditional Chinese Thought, it is believed that there are twelve primary meridians in the body, through which Qi flows. The "Six Meridian Divine Swords" focuses on six of these meridians and integrates their principles into sword techniques.It is a set of sword techniques that replaces a real sword with internal energies to utilize. In the novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils when people using Swords and Daos (single-edged swords) had their weapon struck by Six Meridian Divine Sword, it was implied that user felt like their weapons just clashed with a sharp metallic weapon such as a sword but with inhuman force closer to the likes of Desert Eagle, a modern firearm. Moreover, Six Meridian Divine Sword channels Internal Energies through 6 different Meridians, thus allowing the user to perform rapid fire like a machine gun. It's only limitations is the strain on the user's meridians and their internal energy reserves.
[3]Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian- In TCM, the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, also known as the Shaoyang San Jiao Meridian, is one of the twelve primary meridians in the body through which Qi flows. It is associated with the San Jiao or Triple Burner, which is considered a functional organ system in TCM. The Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian follows a pathway that starts from the tip of the ring finger, travels up the arm, passes through the shoulder, and then proceeds internally along the side of the torso. It does not correspond to any specific anatomical structure but is more of an energetic pathway. In TCM theory, the Triple Burner is responsible for regulating and harmonizing the functions of the upper, middle, and lower parts of the body. It doesn't have a physical organ counterpart like the liver or lungs but is considered to be involved in activities such as digestion, metabolism, circulation, and the distribution of fluids.
