In other words, it means sacrificing one’s own cultivation to temporarily gain spiritual energy.
The advantage is that it can replenish depleted spiritual energy in the shortest and fastest time possible, but the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
If you gain spiritual energy by forcing your meridians in this way, your cultivation will be drained at a faster rate.
If you consume spiritual energy this way today, you may not be able to replenish it even if you use it ten times more in the future.
But in those desperate times, he didn’t care about any of that; survival was the most important thing.
Furthermore, after Charlie is killed, we can obtain his magic weapon that can summon heavenly lightning, as well as an unknown number of Great Qi Cultivation Pills. The spiritual energy consumed by burning meridians can be replenished countless times!
Moreover, Charlie himself is a great opportunity to receive an award!
So he once again used his flying sword, channeling even stronger spiritual energy into it, and the tip of the sword shot straight at Charlie’s face like an arrow released from a bow.
Charlie had never practiced this kind of technique before. Seeing Wu Bolin’s condition suddenly improve and his flying sword become much faster and more powerful than before, he was immediately shocked. This change was something he had completely not expected.
So, in a panic, he could only continue throwing heavenly lightning bolts at Wu Bolin, while retreating at high speed and gathering all his spiritual energy to prepare to face Wu Bolin’s flying sword head-on.
Having learned from his previous experience, Wu Bolin no longer held the flying sword in his hand. Instead, he used his spiritual energy to keep his distance from the sword, fearing that the flying sword would attract lightning and burn him again.
Moreover, after activating his Burning Meridian, his body’s reaction speed was much faster than before, and dodging Charlie’s Heavenly Lightning was no longer a difficult task.
A bolt of lightning struck, but Wu Bolin dodged it easily. The flying sword, as if a part of his will, continued to launch rapid attacks towards Charlie, without delay even though Wu Bolin managed to dodge the lightning.
Charlie was at a loss for what to do. He had no magic weapons to attack with. Neither the Nine Profound Heavens Scripture nor the Great Sun Tathagata Hand Seals were effective in a fierce battle. After a clash, the results were mediocre.
But Wu Bolin is different.
After the initial chaos, he quickly found his rhythm again.
He is adept at manipulating flying swords. Although a true flying sword is a magical artifact that allows a cultivator to fly, his flying sword, while not capable of flight, can be controlled by his spiritual energy to fly on its own.
The flying sword was originally a magic weapon crafted by Victoria. It has the ability to extend up to ten times its original length. Normally, it’s only about one zhu (a unit of length) long and inconspicuous.
However, this sword can cut through iron like mud and cut through stone like paper. It is extremely fast and can be controlled at will. Once launched, it can be pursued by a target with just a thought. This sword is far more powerful than Charlie’s Soul-Piercing Sword.
Even though Charlie used all his might to dodge, the opponent’s flying sword was still too fast.
He could only find the right moment to stop and then use his powerful spiritual energy to catch his opponent’s flying sword once again.
The opponent’s flying sword was extremely fast and agile. Charlie tried to intercept it with his spiritual energy, but the opponent made a ninety-degree turn and shot straight into the sky, then dived toward him at breakneck speed.
Helpless, Charlie once again gathered spiritual energy above his head, but his opponent once again changed direction by dodging to the side.
Capturing an opponent’s flying sword using only spiritual energy requires a fairly high density. This means that quickly gathering a large amount of high-density spiritual energy is far less efficient than capturing an opponent’s.
Charlie was able to focus his attack on the top of his head this time, but in the next moment, his opponent passed over the top of his head and went straight for his back.
At this moment, Charlie didn’t have time to make any preparations. He could only force himself to use his spiritual energy to form an invisible shield behind him, while charging forward at high speed to dodge.
Immediately after, he felt a powerful force suddenly strike his back. Although the shield temporarily blocked his path, the flying sword easily shattered it.
Fortunately, the shield gave Charlie time to dodge. The flying sword failed to penetrate his back, but instead, as he lunged, it cut him almost to the bone.
Charlie felt a sharp pain and a hot, damp sensation on his back, as if drenched in blood. The air was filled with the stench of blood. Charlie didn’t dare think too much and immediately used his spiritual energy to quickly repair the wound. Otherwise, if he dodged too hard again, the wound might tear even more!
In that moment of life and death, Charlie understood a principle: the battle between spear and shield was not only a test of who was sharper or stronger, but also a test of who was faster.
If the speed of the spear is greater than the speed of the shield, then even the strongest shield will be ineffective!
