SR’s note: In chapter 136 it had been said that Ji Hao opened all his meridians, which were a total of 1,209,600. However, it seems we of TME team, had made a mistake. It should be 129,600, as it has been lately in all the chapters. We apologize for this and will change it in chapter 136. Thanks to all who had pointed this mistake out to us. :)

Chapter 198 - Struck Down
Ji Hao gathered all of his spirit power inside his body, while continuously swallowing bottles of magic medicines that he had prepared before. He had just awakened the Magus Acupoint inside his Dantian and all his power was currently stored within it. The 129,600 meridians were completely empty at the moment, without the slightest stream of power. Every time Ji Hao swallowed the magic medicines, they would immediately be digested by the two multicoloured flames, then transformed into multicoloured light streams and merge with the empty meridians.
Each meridian had absorbed the essence power contained within those magic medicines, becoming broader and more solid, becoming able to contain more power than it could before. Normally, when Ji Hao would try to strengthen his meridians with magic medicines, the great powers contained in his meridians would always interfere the process of strengthening his meridians. Therefore, amongst the hundred portions of magic medicines that he would take, perhaps only one portion would truly be effective. In contrast to ordinary days, his meridians were now completely empty, and could absorb all the essence power contained in those magic medicines without any disturbance.
Such a perfect opportunity that allowed Ji Hao to strengthen his meridians was only able to last for only the span of ten breaths. After the span of ten breaths, all of Ji Hao’s spirit blood gushed into the Magus Acupoint of his Dantian. The thin and mist-like blood of a Junior Magus level spirit blood circulated through the Magus Acupoint of the Dantian, and transformed instantly into the liquid-silver-like, heavy and condensed spirit blood of a Senior Magus. His spirit blood flowed out again, flooding through Ji Hao’s muscles, marrow, and meridians, and finally it gushed into each and every one of his blood vessels within a moment.
As a Senior Magus, every time a Magus Acupoint was awakened, the body would be strengthened greatly as well.
When ordinary Junior Magi, who didn’t have that much magic medicine resources, broke into the level of Senior Magus, they needed to spend lots of time, swallowing meat of Senior Magus level beasts for a total of ten times their own weight or thousand times more of meat of Junior Magus level beasts, in order to gain enough essence power the meat and the blood of the beasts, to complete the strengthening process of their bodies.
Luckily, Ji Hao had the Magi Palace as a resource of magic medicines. When his Magus Acupoint of his Dantian began transforming his spirit blood, he instantly took out a bottle of ‘Three Birds and Nine Beasts pill’ that had been concocted by Wulong Yao and poured the entire bottle into his mouth.
These thumb-sized, blood-red ‘Three Birds and Nine Beasts’ were made from the marrow of three different kinds of birds and nine different kinds of wild beasts, containing an incredible amount of essence power. A single ‘Three Bird and Nine Beast’ pill could replenish the majority of the power and vitality of a Senior Magus, allowing a senior Magus to have a nearly inexhaustible life force during battle. As long as a Senior Magus still had ‘Three Birds and Nine Beasts’ pills in his hands, he or she could recover from all kinds of wounds without any limitation.
Ji Hao had swallowed an entire bottle of ‘Three Birds and Nine Beasts’ that contained twelve pills in total, within the span of only a few breaths. Instantly, tremendous essence power and vitality filled his body, soon transforming into Ji Hao’s own power through the Magus Acupoint in his Dantian.
Ji Hao’s bones began to grow inch by inch, his body becoming taller and more muscular, making him look no longer like a slim boy. The following moment, Ji Hao’s spirit blood that had been surging through his body in streams, suddenly swooshed into his Golden Dan. Half of his powers and his spirit blood was swallowed abruptly by his Golden Dan. After that, the Golden Dan, which was initially thumb-size and had a purple-gold-like texture, began to spin rapidly and expanded slowly. Every time it revolved three thousand times, the Golden Dan would increase in size. Not long after, it reached the size of chicken’s egg.
A wisp of purple smoke rose from between Ji Hao’s eyebrows. He opened his eyes and released his spirit power in streams, which was now greater and purer than it had been before, by quite a few times. At the same time, his spirit power shrouded the entire surrounding area within a radius of a hundred miles. Just like raindrops that fell from the sky and seeped into the ground, Ji Hao’s spirit power was all-pervasive, allowing him to perceive even the slightest movement of everything within this area.
Purple-gold coloured mist formed in his eyes, within which, the nine symbols located around each of his gold-red pupils became much clearer than they had been before. Looming magical scenes, such as the blooming of flowers, falling of rain or snow, the rotation of the stars, could be seen from Ji Hao’s pupils.
When the mysterious man had used the [Sky Opening] for the first time inside of Ji Hao’s spirit space, Ji Hao had a touch at the deepest area of this world and the most original natural rules. However, back then, Ji Hao’s soul hadn’t been solid and powerful enough for those natural rules. Even the slightest wisp of power that had been released by those original rules, had nearly crushed his soul. Now that he had successfully broken through to a higher level and became a Senior Magus, his soul had been nourished by the powerful spirit blood of a Senior Magus and had suddenly grown ten times more powerful than it had been before. Therefore, Ji Hao had now gained a deeper understanding of the magical and magnificent world that the mysterious man had shown him, and which was formed by the most original natural rules.
