After Herlin's advancement, his physical fitness reached over three times that of an average person, and his five senses were also enhanced. The consciousness chip's effect on the five senses was directly proportional. The stronger the five senses, the greater the enhancement effect. It's like the relationship between hardware and software.
Therefore, although Qian Yu, Yu Kun, and Zhao Ding were a hundred meters away from He Lin, and Qian Yu and Yu Kun were speaking in a low voice, He Lin still heard everything, allowing He Lin to gather a lot of useful information.
The enhanced collection capabilities make the database more useful.
At this rate of cultivation, it would only take a week for him to open up the first meridian. This was because he was in an academy with a spirit gathering array, where the concentration of vital energy was three times that of the outside world.
Dantian and meridians are truly a magical structure of human beings in this world.
Whether in the sci-fi world or the original world, humans lack the human body structures of the dantian and meridians. Technological civilizations possess only flesh and blood, without extraordinary powers and the corresponding human structures. The extraordinary structures within the human body of the original world are spiritual space and blood power. In this world, the extraordinary structures within the human body are the dantian and meridians.
Research has revealed that the Dantian and meridians exist as latent genetic inheritance. Only after reaching a certain level in swordsmanship, achieving perfection in the sword form, and becoming a swordsman, will they activate and become explicit. Furthermore, they require continuous development and opening up before they can be utilized.
Dantian and meridians are very similar to spiritual space, all of which are subspaces between matter and energy. However, there are significant differences between the two.
The spiritual space is more primitive, with strong plasticity and potential. However, the Dantian and meridians are fixed and can only be opened up, not shaped, and have no potential to be tapped.
Therefore, extraordinary energy like sword energy can be stored in the Dantian and circulate in the meridians. Moreover, interestingly, sword energy can directly act on the sword in hand without passing through the Dantian and meridians.
However, this application of sword energy is primitive. Only after the transformation of the meridians can the properties of sword energy be changed, giving it powerful characteristics. For example, the wave property and the accumulation of power in the "Bi Tao Sword Technique" are very powerful.

Another benefit of coming to the academy is the library. Through the books in the library, you can understand the Swordsman Academy, the Clear Water City, the Clear Water Sword Sect, and even the world of swordsmanship.
It is worth mentioning that the library does not contain any techniques or annotations above the sword apprentice level. Instead, it contains miscellaneous books such as travel notes, novels, geography, poetry, literature, history, and biographies that have nothing to do with cultivation secrets.
This world's cultivation techniques are strictly controlled. Secret manuals for Swordsman-level and above are not recorded in books. Instead, they are passed down through the surviving flying swords of one's own natal celestial beings, known as the "Sword of Inheritance." Alternatively, they are taught step-by-step, or passed down orally. Secrets are never passed down to outsiders.
Moreover, there are records in miscellaneous books saying that advanced sword techniques focus on meaning rather than form, and on emptiness rather than reality, and it is difficult to pass them on through books. Therefore, the Sword Sect, which is mainly composed of high-end swordsmen, has gradually become accustomed to the two teaching methods mentioned above.
All the skills in the Sword Sect are passed down in this way. The Swordsman Academy, an institution that trains outer disciples, is no exception. The only difference is that they do not pass down flying swords, but only teach sword skills face to face.
Therefore, without the secret manual, He Lin's consciousness chip lost a lot of its function, or in other words, its cheating ability. He could only learn the advanced martial arts and corresponding sword skills from the teacher.
…
A week later, Herlin opened up a meridian and felt the sword energy in his dantian transform into sword energy with the attribute of sea waves after passing through the meridians, and then returning to his dantian, forming a cycle.
Zhao Ding pointed at Li Feng and said, "Look, he's opened up his first meridian. How fast is that? One meridian a week! At this rate, he'll be promoted to Sword Master and graduate from the academy in a year and a half." Zhao Ding's tone was filled with envy. Yu Kun and Qian Yu both heard it.
Qian Yu consoled him, "The first meridian is the simplest, so it's quick. The subsequent meridians become increasingly complex, and each one is different. The control required to open up the sword energy becomes increasingly demanding. We can't simply use the time it takes to open up the first meridian as an average. Based on past experience, it will take at least two to three years. Unless... Li Feng's control over the sword energy is at the level of a swordsman."
Yu Kun pointed at Bi Yao and said, "Bi Yao seems to be advancing to the swordsman level."
Zhao Ding and Qian Yu turned to observe. Sure enough, Bi Yao had already begun a complete transformation, cleansing his essence and marrow. This was a sign of another advancement in his whole body realm. Bi Yao was already a full-level swordsman, having perfected the Sword Body realm. This advancement meant he was advancing to the junior swordsman level, the entry level to the Sword Qi realm.
"Another one of our class has been promoted to swordsman. When will you be promoted?" Zhao Ding was also very envious of Bi Yao's promotion to swordsman. He stared straight in Bi Yao's direction.
After Bi Yao completed the promotion, she looked very disheveled because of the impurities discharged from her body after the transformation and cleansing of her meridians and marrow. Her good mood for the promotion was somewhat affected. Girls care a lot about their image, but when she opened her eyes, she found that Zhao Ding was staring at her. She immediately shouted angrily: "What are you looking at, you big fool. Humph!" After that, she quickly left to take a shower.
Zhao Ding was stunned by the scolding, and then asked his two friends, "Was Bi Yao scolding me just now?"
Qian Yu and Yu Kun held back their laughter and nodded together, "Yes, big silly guy. Hahaha..." As they spoke, they couldn't help laughing.
…
Five days later, Yu Kun was promoted to Swordsman. Qian Yu sighed, "Finally, one of us three has been promoted to Swordsman. It wasn't easy."
Zhao Ding said loudly, "I'm almost promoted too. It's almost there, just a week or two."
Qian Yu laughed out loud: "Haha... big idiot, I'm going to advance in the next two days, and you're the slowest."
"What? You're going to advance in the next two days?" Zhao Ding shouted, his tone filled with disbelief. He was actually the last in the class.
"Shut up! You big idiot, you're talking too loudly and disturbing me. You're not the only one practicing here." Bi Yao shouted again. Ever since Bi Yao advanced last time and looked embarrassed, and was stared at by Zhao Ding, she started to argue with Zhao Ding.
Every time she scolded Zhao Ding, she always seemed to be right, which made Zhao Ding more and more afraid of Bi Yao. After Bi Yao scolded him, Zhao Ding immediately shut up.
Two days later, as expected, Qian Yu was promoted to swordsman.
Zhao Ding stopped talking and continued practicing in silence. It seemed he was holding back his energy, determined to become a swordsman as quickly as possible.
Qian Yu pointed at Li Feng and said, "Look, another meridian has been opened. It will still take a week."
Yu Kun carefully observed the exact time and exclaimed in amazement, "This is bizarre. The time is almost the same. Qian Yu, the time it takes to open up the two meridians is almost the same. What do you think this means?"
