After a frantic run, Zhan Bo, Wei Yang, and Sun Yuze arrived at the abandoned teaching building, where from a distance, they saw a person standing on the third floor looking towards them!

"It's Brother Xiao!" Zhan Bo immediately said!

The three of them hurriedly ran towards the staircase of the abandoned teaching building!

"Brother Xiao, what did you want to see us for?" As the eldest disciple, Zhan Bo naturally asked Ye Xiao upon seeing him!

Ye Xiao looked at Zhan Bo, Wei Yang, and Sun Yuze, then cracked a slight smile and said, "Of course, I have something for you when I ask you to come. Wei Yang, Yu Ze, have you forgotten about the matter of breaking through the governor and conception vessels?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wei Yang was taken aback and said, "The governor and conception vessels? Oh my, Brother Xiao, I indeed almost forgot about that. Oh right, Yu Ze and I still haven't broken through them yet!"

Sun Yuze immediately turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, did you call us here today just to help us break through the governor and conception vessels?"

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, but there's nowhere to sit here, we'll have to sit on the ground. Don't worry about getting your clothes dirty!"

"We have some!" Wei Yang immediately said with a laugh. "We three often come here to cultivate True Yang Skill, so we bought some bamboo mats to use here. Now it seems they'll come in handy!"

Hearing Wei Yang's words, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "That's perfect then!"

Ye Xiao would later have to go to Song Jiamin's house, and he didn't want to get his clothes dirty. Initially, he saw no choice for the sake of his three disciples' inner strength, but now it seemed there was a way!

The four of them came to a room that was clearly cleaned up, and indeed there were some bamboo mats inside. Zhan Bo, Wei Yang, and Sun Yuze quickly spread out the mats, and all four sat down cross-legged on them.

Sun Yuze looked at Ye Xiao, feeling somewhat excited at the moment, and said, "Brother Xiao, what should we do now?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Sun Yuze and then at Wei Yang, then smiled and said, "First, I have to say one thing. This is my first time trying to break through someone's governor and conception vessels. Because it's the first time, there might be mistakes, so whichever one of you wants to go first, think carefully before deciding!"

Neither Wei Yang nor Sun Yuze expected Ye Xiao to suddenly say this. Upon hearing his words, both of them were slightly stunned. However, Wei Yang quickly said, "Brother Xiao, I'll go first, just don't kill me!"

Seeing Wei Yang speak up first, Sun Yuze, afraid that Ye Xiao might think poorly of him, hastily said, "Brother Xiao, let me go first!"

Ye Xiao was exceptionally adept at reading people's expressions. Wei Yang had spoken without thinking, whereas Sun Yuze hesitated before speaking. This showed that Sun Yuze was somewhat smarter than Wei Yang. However, from these subtle details, Ye Xiao could tell that in terms of loyalty, Wei Yang was a bit more devoted than Sun Yuze!

But, this didn't mean that Sun Yuze wasn't loyal to him!

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "It doesn't matter who goes first. Just be mentally prepared. Of course, I'll ensure your safety as much as I can!"

Wei Yang sat in front of Ye Xiao, glanced at Sun Yuze, and said with a grin, "Yu Ze, I'm the second senior brother, I'll go first. You're the junior brother and should listen!"

Sun Yuze was inwardly stirred by Wei Yang's words. What seemed like a joke touched him deeply. Ye Xiao had already said there might be danger for the person going first, yet Wei Yang stepped up first. He was taking on the risk and also paving the way for Sun Yuze!

Ye Xiao saw the emotion in Sun Yuze's eyes, nodded to himself, and then said to Wei Yang, "Sit well with your back to me and start circulating your inner strength!"

Wei Yang nodded immediately, turned his back to Ye Xiao, and slightly closed his eyes.

True Yang Skill began to run slowly through Wei Yang's body. Although the True Qi was very faint, Ye Xiao was now close to Xuan Rank, making it easy for him to sense it.

Ye Xiao sat cross-legged behind Wei Yang, slowly closed his eyes, and with a motion of his hands, the rich Nine Yang True Qi appeared upon them. Zhan Bo and Sun Yuze, both apprentice Martial Artists, could see the orange halo on Ye Xiao's hands.

Seeing this, Zhan Bo and Sun Yuze exchanged glances. This was true strength. They wondered when they'd be able to display their Inner Power True Qi visibly to the naked eye!

Ye Xiao's hands slowly rose, and then each hand touched Weii Yang's shoulder. In the instant of this touch, Weii Yang's body suddenly began to tremble slightly. It was in that moment of trembling that Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi began to slowly enter Weii Yang's body!

The Nine Yang True Qi, controlled by Ye Xiao, quickly penetrated into Weii Yang's body and then swiftly found Weii Yang's meridians. Inner Power True Qi in relation to the meridians is like a river relative to its riverbed. Once it enters the meridians, the Inner Power True Qi immediately starts racing rapidly through the meridians inside Weii Yang's body!

The governor and conception vessels are two major meridians that Martial Artists must break through. With equal strength, the difference between before and after a breakthrough is quite substantial. Normally, the governor and conception vessels are blocked. Because of the blockage, when Inner Power True Qi reaches the clogged Ren and Du Meridians, it gets bounced back, leading directly to the True Qi's inability to flow smoothly. This fluidity is especially important during combat!

Martial Artists who have cleared the governor and conception vessels have a more stable ability to control True Qi, able to wield it with ease. Conversely, if they remain obstructed, the effect is the exact opposite!

By this time, after Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi entered Weii Yang's meridians, it smoothly raced forward like a car on a highway, unstoppable in its advance!

However, it wasn't long before the path ahead was blocked. Although beyond was still a highway, the current obstruction was like a toll booth on the expressway, complete with a barrier, beyond which you simply couldn't pass!

Clearly, this obstruction was the legendary governor and conception vessels. At this moment, Ye Xiao focused on the Ren Meridian. It was impossible to break through both meridians at once—each required individual efforts to be breached!

Ye Xiao had initially thought his Nine Yang True Qi to be overwhelmingly powerful, finding the idea of breaking through meridians to be a breeze. Thus, he immediately gathered a massive amount of Nine Yang True Qi, like a hundred-tonne truck, and charged straight for the toll gate!

Under normal circumstances, such a truck has a tremendous impact, and once it charges forward, it is bound to naturally break through the barrier!

A powerful surge of Nine Yang True Qi violently collided with the barrier of Weii Yang's Ren Meridian!

Boom!

A piercing pain immediately emanated from Weii Yang's meridian points, and he yelled out loud, "Ah..."

The pain, more excruciating than drilling into one's heart, made Weii Yang, usually a very tough person, involuntarily cry out!

Weii Yang's screams startled Zhan Bo and Sun Yuze, who were originally watching Ye Xiao and Weii Yang intently. They wanted to ask what was happening but held back for fear of interrupting the meridian breakthrough. Especially Sun Yuze, seeing Weii Yang sweating profusely from pain, his own palms grew sweaty with anxiety!

Seeing that after the violent impact, the Ren Meridian had no reaction at all, and given that Weii Yang was crying out in pain, Ye Xiao—who knew Weii Yang quite well—naturally understood that something might have been wrong with his approach.

Clearly, forceful methods wouldn't work; even if they were to have an effect in the end, Weii Yang might not endure until the Ren Meridian was cleared; he could well die from the pain!

This was not what Ye Xiao wanted to see!

Ye Xiao controlled the mass of Nine Yang True Qi, circling it incessantly in front of the Ren Meridian, while also observing the obstruction. He noticed that the barrier was like a layer of thin gauze which, at first glance, seemed very fragile but revealed its remarkable toughness whenever force was applied.

Could this be a case of 'the harder you push, the harder it resists'?

After pondering for a few minutes, Ye Xiao suddenly thought: If it resists force with force, could he perhaps use softness to overcome hardness?

Besides, there is a saying that water, soft yet persistent, can wear away stone. And if even the gentlest water could penetrate stone, how much more could his powerful Nine Yang True Qi? With this in mind, Ye Xiao immediately controlled the Nine Yang True Qi, morphing it into the shape of a drill bit!

If brute force couldn't break through, then I'll just drill through it!

Ye Xiao extended the Nine Yang True Qi into a point more delicate and smaller than a wheat awn, and then began cautiously edging it towards the barrier of the Ren Meridian!

Ye Xiao had intended to puncture directly through the center of the barrier, but after two minutes of drilling in the middle with no effect, he began a furious drill attack on the edges in the form of a drill bit!

The barrier of the Ren Meridian was, after all, an inherent part of Weii Yang's body. So, when Ye Xiao began drilling into Weii Yang's Ren Meridian, Weii Yang's eyebrows knitted tightly. Although the pain was not as severe as when the Nine Yang True Qi violently collided earlier, it was nevertheless substantial. However, Weii Yang seemed able to bear it. But, judging from the sweat dripping down like large beads from his forehead, Zhan Bo and Sun Yuze could see how difficult and excruciating it was to open the governor and conception vessels!

If not for the multiple benefits of clearing the governor and conception vessels and the possibility of becoming a Martial Arts master afterward, Sun Yuze would probably have never agreed to endure such an ordeal!

While Weii Yang was in pain, it was Ye Xiao who suddenly became exhausted. Straining hard, Ye Xiao drilled intensively into Weii Yang's Ren Meridian. After about ten minutes, there was finally a sign of progress—the previously impervious Ren Meridian was now pierced by a tiny hole by Ye Xiao, an incredibly minute opening!
