“You mean to say that you released the excess true energy in your body through the tips of your right hand’s index and middle fingers?”
After hearing the little one’s words, Han Rubing asked in disbelief.
At first, when she learned that the little one had carelessly accelerated the flow of true energy for fun, leading to an uncontrollable excess, Han Rubing felt a mix of anger, deep concern, and fear.
She was angry that the little one could be so reckless just for amusement.
Hadn’t anyone told her that the most taboo in cultivating internal energy was to seek quick results?
Although the little one had only accelerated the flow of true energy out of playfulness, it was still wrong.
The concern stemmed from the pain caused by the excess true energy flowing chaotically within her body.
The fear was that if the little one hadn’t released the excess true energy in time, she could potentially die from ruptured meridians.
If that happened, Han Rubing might lose this little one forever.
Thus, she felt anger, concern, fear, and finally disbelief about the little one’s actions and experiences from the previous night.
“Yes!”
Seeing Han Rubing’s astonished expression, Meng Xiaoyu felt puzzled again.
“Sister Yu’er, can you demonstrate again how you released the excess true energy through your fingertips last night?”
Like Han Rubing, Han Rushuang was also astonished after hearing about Meng Xiaoyu’s actions and experiences from the previous night, moving from anger and concern to fear, and finally to amazement.
“Oh! Sure!”
After Meng Xiaoyu nodded in agreement to Han Rushuang’s request, she began to guide the true energy in her body to her right arm, releasing it through her right middle finger.
Then, with a loud bang, a table not too far from Meng Xiaoyu collapsed as one of its legs was blown off.
This time, not only were Han Rubing and her sister surprised, but even Meng Xiaoyu herself was astonished.
“What… what just happened?”
Meng Xiaoyu looked incredulously at her right middle finger.
After her surprise, she quickly became excited.
“Could it be that I accidentally mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword from Grandpa Jin’s novel?”
With this thought, Meng Xiaoyu began to grin foolishly at her right middle finger.
While Meng Xiaoyu was grinning at her middle finger, Han Rubing and her sister were still in disbelief about what they had just witnessed.
“The little one (Yu’er) can actually release true energy externally with such power; this is unbelievable!”
With this thought, both of them turned to look at the little one, who had been staring at her right middle finger and grinning.
They simultaneously shook their heads in their hearts, thinking, “What just happened must have been an accident. Just by looking at the little one’s silly grin, we can tell that it was definitely an accident.”
Although they thought it might have been an accident, they had never heard of true energy being released externally with such power.
However, what had just happened was something they had witnessed with their own eyes; after all, the unfortunate table was still lying on the floor!
“Little one, can you try again? This time aim for that pillar,” Han Rubing said, pointing to a pillar on the left side of the room.
“Sister Rubing, do you mean that pillar?”
After hearing Han Rubing’s words, Meng Xiaoyu asked, coming back to her senses.
“Yes,” Han Rubing nodded gently.
With Han Rubing’s confirmation, Meng Xiaoyu tried again using the same method, but this time she used her right index finger.
With a soft pop, both Meng Xiaoyu and the Han sisters saw a finger-sized hole appear on the previously smooth pillar.
“Could it be that I really mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword?”
After hearing the pop, Meng Xiaoyu immediately jumped off the bed and ran over to the pillar to closely examine the small hole.
“Little one, what is the Six Meridians Divine Sword?”
Seeing the little one jump out of bed without even wearing clothes, Han Rubing shook her head helplessly.
She picked up the inner garment that she and her sister had helped the little one take off earlier and walked over to drape it over her.
However, just as she reached the little one, she heard her mumbling.
“Oh! The Six Meridians Divine Sword is… ah~~~~~~~~” Hearing Han Rubing’s question, Meng Xiaoyu was about to turn around to answer.
However, when she turned, she saw Han Rubing standing behind her with a white inner garment, ready to drape it over her.
At that moment, Meng Xiaoyu realized that she was still not dressed.
She let out another surprised cry and quickly jumped back onto the bed, wrapping herself in the quilt.
Meanwhile, Han Rubing, who had intended to drape the inner garment over the little one, watched as the little one dashed back to the bed like a gust of wind and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
The movement was smooth and seamless, without a moment’s pause.
“I didn’t expect the little one’s Light Skill to be improving!”
“Yu’er, what you just mentioned about the Six Meridians Divine Sword, what kind of martial art is it?”
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu wrapped up tightly in the quilt, Han Rushuang pulled back some of the quilt to ensure she wouldn’t suffocate.
“Oh! The Six Meridians Divine Sword is…”
Hearing Han Rushuang ask again, Meng Xiaoyu poked her head out from the quilt and began to excitedly explain the origins of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, as well as its usage and characteristics, to Han Rubing and her sister.
“Does the little one already know the cultivation method for the Six Meridians Divine Sword?”
After listening to the little one’s explanation, Han Rubing and her sister roughly understood that the Six Meridians Divine Sword was a technique that allowed true energy to be released externally, condensing it into a sword form, using finger strength and one’s own profound internal energy to transform it into sword energy, which could be considered a formless sword, with each type of sword having different characteristics.
“I don’t know,” Meng Xiaoyu replied straightforwardly to Han Rubing’s question.
She truly didn’t know, as her understanding of the Six Meridians Divine Sword was limited to Grandpa Jin’s novel.
The reason she could condense true energy into a sword with her fingertip was merely due to her accidental discovery the day before.
As for the cultivation method that Han Rubing mentioned, Meng Xiaoyu could only shyly say, “I’m sorry, I really don’t know.”
“Can you use all six types of sword energy now?”
After hearing the little one’s response, Han Rubing asked another question.
“Well… I don’t know! Should I try again?”
Meng Xiaoyu said, a bit uncertain.
When she saw Han Rubing and her sister nodding in agreement, she began to circulate her true energy and tried one by one.
“It seems like I can only produce sword energy with the five fingers of my right hand and my left pinky! Although that counts as six swords, why is it different from what Grandpa Jin wrote in the book?”
After trying all her fingers, Meng Xiaoyu said, feeling puzzled.
“It really is a bit different. Looking at the six types of sword energy Meng Xiaoyu can produce, although they seem similar to what the little one described as the Six Meridians Divine Sword, a detailed comparison reveals some differences. For instance, the Middle Channel Sword and the Lesser Channel Sword in the Six Meridians Divine Sword should be produced by the right middle finger, with the sword energy being grand and powerful, sweeping across the world. However, the sword energy produced by the little one’s middle finger, while also powerful, lacks the sweeping momentum and instead has a more agile and swift quality.
The Lesser Channel Sword, which should be light and quick, when used by the little one, loses its agility and speed, instead gaining a flexible and changeable quality, resembling a sharp soft sword that appears harmless but conceals deadly intent. The most obvious difference is that the Lesser Merchant Sword, which should be produced by the left thumb, is now being produced by the little one’s right thumb, while the left thumb cannot produce any sword energy at all.
“Ah? Sister Rubing, according to what you said, this isn’t the Six Meridians Divine Sword at all!”
Meng Xiaoyu’s expression fell a bit. “I thought I had learned the number one miraculous skill from Grandpa Jin’s novel! Turns out it’s just a knockoff!”
The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not the Six Meridians Divine Sword. The six types of sword energy you just produced are no worse than what you said the Six Meridians Divine Sword is. Since you want to learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword so much, just treat it as your own version of the Six Meridians Divine Sword,” Han Rushuang gently comforted the disappointed Meng Xiaoyu.
“That’s true! Even if it’s not the Six Meridians Divine Sword, its power is no less than that of the Six Meridians Divine Sword! And if this isn’t the Six Meridians Divine Sword, then I would be the founder of this set of martial arts, wouldn’t that make me quite impressive? Hehe, now I’m a master too!”
After hearing Han Rushuang’s comfort, Meng Xiaoyu immediately cheered up.
“So, master, what do you plan to name your newly created martial art?”
Han Rushuang teased, looking at the little one who was now happily showing off.
“A name! What should I name it? I must come up with a name that is invincible and awe-inspiring!”
After saying this, Meng Xiaoyu lowered her head and pondered deeply. After about a few minutes, she clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Sister Rubing, Sister Rushuang, I’ve thought of an invincible and awe-inspiring name!”
Then, under the watchful eyes of Han Rubing and her sister, Meng Xiaoyu slowly revealed the name she had thought of: “Invincible External Gold Finger.”
