Full Awakening: One F is trash, three me

"good!"

Teacher Zuo exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder you deserve the title of top scholar! If you didn't dare to accept it, I would have looked down on you a bit."

Yang Han grinned, a happy smile on his face: "Why wouldn't I want something given to me for free? When are you going to give it to me?"

Teacher Zuo was taken aback, not expecting Yang Han to be in such a hurry. He explained, "It's not that I'll give it to you directly. Instead, I'll tell everyone that you're here, and they can only obtain it by defeating you. And you... need to hold out for at least a week before I give it to you. Otherwise, if you get the resources and hide away to cultivate, wouldn't others have even less hope?"

"Reasonable!"

Yang Han nodded, "That's fine too."

"When can I redeem the points I earned from the extra exams for academic credits?"

"You can enroll immediately!"

Are there any rewards for the top ten freshmen?

Teacher Zuo nodded.

"Does the teacher know what the reward is?"

Yang Han was very curious.

"Know!"

Looking at Yang Han's expectant face, Teacher Zuo didn't intend to hide anything, since it would be announced soon anyway.

The top ten will each be awarded a cultivation manual.

"Cultivation techniques?"

Yang Han's expression changed slightly, as if he was somewhat disappointed.

"What? Not satisfied?"

Yang Han glanced at the hundreds of Star Origin Pills in the ring and was quite dissatisfied.

Teacher Zuo shook his head and said, "I guess you've only mastered the techniques of 36 star meridians at most. How could you possibly understand the mysteries of these techniques?"

"Oh?"

"Originally, teachers would have told you these things, but now at Zhenxing Martial Arts University... it's questionable whether there are even classes now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Yang Han became interested. He had been tricked by Luo Sheng before because he didn't know that there was no such thing as a Heavenly Rank in cultivation techniques. Now that he had the opportunity to learn, he naturally wouldn't let it pass.

Thank you, teacher!

Teacher Zuo nodded and explained, "The cultivation technique is simply divided into four levels. Opening 36 star meridians only allows the martial artist to absorb star source power on their own. It is the lowest level of the basic cultivation technique, which is better than nothing."

Yang Han had long sensed this; the difference compared to using Star Origin Pills was enormous, causing his cultivation techniques to consistently rank lower than his combat skills. Perhaps it was also because he had snatched too many Star Origin Pills during the additional exam, and therefore didn't currently lack Star Origin Power!

"The second level, opening 72 to 144 star meridians, is called advanced cultivation technique. This is the minimum standard to become a powerful figure."

"Advanced cultivation technique?"

This name is so simple... Yang Han thought to himself, it doesn't sound as good as "Heaven and Earth, Mysterious and Yellow".

"Teacher, what about the number between 36 and 72 star veins?"

"Star veins that exceed the number of meridians opened in the cultivation technique have no other effect besides increasing the upper limit of power."

As Teacher Zuo spoke, a blue light flashed in his eyes. He looked Yang Han up and down, and then showed a look of surprise.

"For example, if you open 38 star veins, only 36 of them are within the scope of your 'Star Chasing Technique,' and the remaining two will increase your maximum strength by 2 tons."

Yang Han understood. Just as he had thought before, the star veins to be opened should either be within the scope of the cultivation technique or the scope of the combat skill. Don't open star veins that you can't use for the time being.

Most people don't have this kind of trouble. Before opening their meridians, everyone will think about which meridian they will open next.

After all, opening the meridians requires the power to reach its upper limit and saturation, and then the stellar source power to slowly wear down the chains.

Who can kill a dog with a single punch like him?

Suddenly, another question popped into Yang Han's mind; in fact, his mind was now full of questions.

"Teacher, how much does the number of meridians opened affect the Meridian Integration Realm?"

It's no wonder Yang Han had this question. He had seen quite a few martial artists at the Meridian Integration Realm, some of whom seemed very powerful, like Commander Zhang, who was quite strong, and then there was the Demon Thief Sect Master, who was very weak...

"Very big!"

Teacher Zuo walked a few steps slowly and returned to the cabin of the flying boat to sit down.

At this moment, Yang Han realized that there were only him and Teacher Zuo on the flying boat!

Teacher Zuo slowly poured herself a cup of tea and then raised the cup to Yang Han, gesturing for him to sit down.

"Entering the Meridian Integration Realm is quite simple. You only need to open 36 meridians to enter. Then, you just need to combine four of those 36 meridians into one meridian to reach the first level of the Meridian Integration Realm. After merging, those four meridians will grant the martial artist 80 tons of power!"

Yang Han paused, his hand holding the teacup still. "Twenty times!"

"That's right!"

"That means... for martial artists in the Meridian Opening Realm, especially those prodigies, the difficulty in the Meridian Integration Realm is not breaking through, but... whether they can resist the temptation of breaking through."

Teacher Zuo smiled and nodded, her gaze towards Yang Han changing; few people could have thought of this step so quickly.

Yang Han suddenly realized something.

Imagine you are a genius. When you have opened 80 meridians, your opponent has only opened 36. You can completely crush him.

But... at this moment, the opponent chose to break through, even if it was only the weakest level, the power could break through to the level of hundreds of tons, and turn around and beat you!

"Teacher, once you choose to break through to the Meridian Integration Realm, is there no turning back?"

"Yes!"

Teacher Zuo took a sip of tea and said, "Even after entering the Meridian Integration Realm, you can still open more meridians, just not anymore. Opening meridians to cultivate combat techniques is no problem. However... if the number of meridians opened for a combat technique exceeds that of the cultivation method, one strike might not even leave the enemy unharmed, but you yourself might suffer a shattered Star Palace and die!"

Yang Han also picked up his cup and took a sip. The path of cultivation really can't be done without someone to guide you. If you don't know anything, you might end up destroying yourself through cultivation.

"Teacher, what about techniques beyond advanced levels?"

"Above advanced techniques are top-tier techniques, which have only two levels, corresponding to 180 star meridians and 216 star meridians respectively."

Teacher Zuo held up one finger, "The greatest value of top-tier techniques lies in purifying special star source energy."

"Special Star Source Power?"

Yang Han put down his teacup and leaned forward slightly.

"Our daily training actually involves using Stellar Origin Power to enhance our physical body, strength, and speed. The rates of these three are roughly the same, but special Stellar Origin Power has a far greater enhancing effect on the corresponding attributes than ordinary Stellar Origin Power!"

"This is great!"

Yang Han's eyes lit up. If he could have a cultivation technique that corresponded to his physical body, wouldn't his progress be much faster?

Teacher Zuo seemed to see through his thoughts and continued, "Therefore, this level is the difference between geniuses and ordinary strong individuals. A martial artist with a natural talent for strength, who then cultivates a top-tier strength-based technique, will possess explosive power. This stage is also key for geniuses to counter those martial artists who quickly break through to the Meridian Integration Realm; geniuses will once again stand at the top!"

Yang Han nodded.

In a place like Zhenxing Martial Arts University, everyone is a genius. Who would be willing to break through early and become a mediocre Meridian Integration Realm cultivator?

impossible!

What he's concerned about now is that if the top-level cultivation techniques are already this powerful, how powerful will the last level of cultivation techniques be?

"Teacher, is there another level?"
