People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "It's just in time."

Jingni hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her small hand and whispered, "Use your hand. Xiaoyan'er just fell asleep, so don't be too loud."

Cao Ze didn't insist and voluntarily lay down.

He wanted to hum a little tune, but Jingni grabbed him hard, forcing him to stop.

Jingni's little hands are always ice-cold.

It feels exceptionally comfortable to the touch.

Until the middle of the night.

Ultimately, under Jingni's Nine Yin White Bone Claw, countless of his billions of heavenly soldiers and generals were killed or wounded.

This forced him to fall into a deep sleep, like an ancient deity, waiting to awaken again.

Jingni gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

I really don't know what this guy ate to grow up like that, he must have worked her to death.

Chapter 107 was such a pleasant surprise!

These past two days, aside from needing to do a good deed at the Empress's place, Cao Ze spent the rest of his time taking Jing Ni and her daughter, along with Li Wu, to stroll around and eat and drink in Handan City.

Of course, they didn't forget to improve their own abilities.

Through his diligent practice, he has opened up three of the twelve meridians.

The fourth major meridian—the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian—is also about to be opened.

Here, we must mention the benefits of the revitalization technique.

For him, who cultivates Yin Five Thunder, opening up the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians was like recharging an experience card.

While it would take an ordinary cultivator several months to open a complete meridian, he could do it in just one month, or even less.

In the courtyard of Qingping Residence, Cao Ze sat cross-legged.

After circulating his internal energy through the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, passing through the second lateral line of the Ren Meridian in the chest and abdomen, and the anterior medial border of the lower limbs, Cao Ze slowly finished his practice and let out a long breath.

Four of the twelve meridians have already been opened. At this rate, all of them will be opened by the second half of next year.

At that time, one can begin to construct the Great Circulation within the body, enabling one to return from the acquired to the innate state and enter the first-class innate realm.

After breaking through, Cao Ze did not immediately end his cultivation.

Instead, they continued to use revitalization techniques to gradually enhance bodily functions.

Half a month ago, he tried to improve the technique of activation, and after that, he practiced the Palm Thunder.

This led him to discover that the power of the Palm Lightning had increased by 20% after using the Activation Technique.

This situation was normal, but then he had a flash of inspiration. If he could integrate the Activation Technique into the Palm Lightning, would he be able to use an enhanced version of the Palm Lightning without having to fight desperately using the Activation Technique?

After half a month, he finally made some progress.

His proficient use of activation techniques allows him to target gland regulation and perform localized activation, such as using the palm thunder technique on his hands.

Cao Ze cautiously began the first combination of the Palm Lightning and the Art of Activation.

Suddenly, a sharp clap of thunder rang out, startling Xiao Yan'er, who was originally quiet inside, into bursting into tears.

Jing Ni's pretty face darkened slightly as she patiently coaxed Xiao Yan'er, giving Li Wu a wink.

Li Wu stepped out of the house and saw Cao Ze in the courtyard, patting his chest with a look of lingering fear.

"What...what happened?"

Cao Ze raised his trembling hand and said with a wry smile, "Trying out the newly created lightning technique almost ruined my hand."

He had anticipated that this move would be powerful, but he hadn't expected it to be ridiculously powerful.

If I hadn't stopped practicing quickly enough, I might have really turned into a big pig's trotter.

Fortunately, it was just a superficial injury; the meridians are all normal, and I can recover after taking a breath.

However, it seems that we need to reduce the intensity and do some preliminary integration first, instead of going all out right away.

From noon until the moon was high in the sky, Cao Ze worked on it until late at night before finally achieving a preliminary balance between the Palm Thunder and the Revitalization Technique.

Unlike at the beginning, when he immediately unleashed a sharp thunderous roar as if afraid others wouldn't know he was going all out.

Jing Ni and Li Wu, standing in the courtyard, both felt threatened as they watched Cao Ze extend the power of Yin Five Thunder by three inches in his palm.

"Is this the result of your one day of cultivation?"

"That's right, to be precise, it's the result of the past two weeks of cultivation."

Li Wu circled around Cao Ze, asking, "What's the name of this move?"

Cao Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Thunder cut."

"Lightning Cutter?" Jing Ni could feel the sharpness of the Yin Five Lightning contained in Cao Ze's hand.

It's very similar to the sword energy she unleashed when she infused her inner strength into the Jingni Sword.

Cao Ze chuckled, said nothing, took a step forward, and with a flick of his hand imbued with lightning, gently cleaved the hard stone table in two.

Li Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "So strong!"

Jingni exclaimed, "In the darkness, it is silent and invisible, yet incredibly sharp; it is enough to be a killing move."

Li Wu asked, "How did you do that? Wasn't it still quite sharp during the day?"

Cao Ze shook his hand and said, "It's a characteristic of Yin Five Thunder. If it were Yang Five Thunder, it would be difficult to achieve the level of being silent and invisible. Unfortunately, with my current strength, I can only use it three or four times."

Jingni asked, "Does it consume a lot of internal energy?"

Cao Ze shook his head and said, "The internal force is similar to that used in the Palm Thunder, but the palm cannot withstand the high-frequency vibrations of the Yin Five Thunder for long. To use it multiple times, it is necessary to completely open the twelve meridians and bring about a qualitative change in the body's strength."

He did know the training method for the external martial art Iron Palm.

Not to mention that after mastering it, your palms will become rough and stiff, and it takes too much time.

If he had that much time, he might have already reached Jing Ni's current strength.

Jing Ni suddenly drew her sword and said, "Come and try it, use your full strength."

Cao Ze nodded. "Okay."

He also wanted to see if he could exchange a few blows with Jing Ni if he went all out now.

Without hesitation, Cao Ze immediately used the Revitalization Technique. No, after his improvements, it should now be more accurately called the Thunder Transformation Technique.

Many fine Yin Five Thunderbolts appeared on Cao Ze's body.

"Wandering Earthworm Thunder!"

Jing Ni directly used her Jing Ni Sword to cleave Cao Ze's probing attack.

Cao Ze took a light breath, "Thunder Magic - Northern Azure Pool".

The small courtyard was instantly covered by his Yin Five Thunder power. No matter how Jingni dodged, as long as she didn't jump out of this area, she would be affected by the Yin Five Thunder power.

Jing Ni used her internal energy to protect herself, preventing Cao Ze's Yin Five Thunder power from penetrating her body, but Jing Ni's internal energy was constantly being eroded by the Yin Five Thunder.

Li Wu leaped onto the tree. In her perception, the courtyard was already filled with Cao Zeyin's Five Thunder Power, like dozens of barrels of unrefined kerosene poured onto the ground.

Cao Ze knew he needed to act quickly, otherwise he would have no chance at all.

"Rayfa Raiche!"

Under the cover of the Northern Azure Pool, Jing Ni's senses were compressed to a minimum, yet he could use the Northern Azure Pool to appear anywhere near Jing Ni.

Jing Ni suddenly began to slowly wield her sword, as if she were practicing a sword dance, which was quite beautiful.

A space about half a zhang in diameter slowly appeared around him, filled with wisps of sword energy.

The more Cao Ze looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Wasn't this the Tai Chi sword intent of Tai Chi boxing and sword?

Smooth and consistent, preserving the true essence and returning to the origin.

A 360-degree defense with no blind spots, specifically designed to counter assassin-type warriors like him.

Damn it!

Cao Ze's Thunder Cutter was stopped three feet away from Jing Ni.

Jing Ni smiled and grasped Cao Ze's wrist. "This is my newly comprehended sword intent. How about it? Surprised?"

"What a pleasant surprise..."

Cao Ze stopped using the lightning transformation technique, his strength almost completely depleted.

The improved lightning transformation technique places less strain on the body.

As long as it's not used for an extended period, it won't be as dismal as before.

Li Wu leaped down from the tree, looking at Jing Ni in surprise, "When did you comprehend this? How come I didn't know?"

She was almost inseparable from Jing Ni, and if Jing Ni comprehended a new sword intent, she would definitely be the first to know.

Jingni thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that I realized it after having a dream a few days ago..."

She concealed the fact that she was having a nightmare.

Cao Ze sighed. Good heavens, he got an epiphany from a dream. How could he possibly accept that?

Jingni said to Cao Ze, "I think there is still potential to be explored in your move. If someone is caught off guard, even a half-step grandmaster would be seriously injured if they took the hit head-on."

She was able to block it easily because she was prepared, and the newly acquired sword intent made her good at defense; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for her.

"Know it……"

Then, Cao Ze picked up the giant salamander and went into Li Wu's room.

"Li Wu, I'm entrusting Xiao Yan'er to you."

If you're unlucky on the battlefield, then you're probably lucky in love.

We must let Jingni know her husband's true strength!

Li Wu stared wide-eyed as Cao Ze and Jing Ni entered her room, looking utterly dejected.

How shameless!
