This is the origin of the name of the Red Moon City. It is said that it was a full moon night when the Red Moon City was first built, and the moon also turned red at that time.

After a brief moment of surprise, Rowen calms down. The energy released by the red moon is extremely strong, but he could still control it. Besides, he decides to take advantage of this rare opportunity to keep striking other acupoints in the Vital Channel.

As the moon turns completely red, the energy that has entered Rowen’s body becomes stronger. If he hasn’t opened up half of the acupoints in the meridians, he probably wouldn’t have been able to contain the energy at all.

In the past, the energy Rowen absorbs at night is like a gentle girl with reserved manner. But tonight, this energy has turned into a strong man with violent temper. When this energy mixes into the breath of the sun and moon, it seems that the breath of the sun and moon is also changing slightly.

When the breath of the sun and moon gets through the obstructions in the meridians, the volume of the breath will naturally become smaller, just like it is automatically holding back. But tonight, it seems that this breath doesn’t want to hold back, on the contrary, it automatically begins to attack as if wanting to clear all the obstructions.

A steady stream of strong energy emitting from the red moon gets into Rowen’s body and integrates into the meridians. Then it turns into the breath of the sun and moon and starts its circulation over and over again. At the same time, the strong energy is striking the acupoints in the meridians time after time. With Rowen’s conscious guidance, seven remaining acupoints in the Vital Channel seem to get loose at the same time, so Rowen decides to strike all seven acupoints at once.

In the meridians comes a feeling of distending pain. With the breath of the sun and moon washing against the meridians, the obstruction becomes smaller and smaller. The limitless strong energy is still constantly entering from the outside into the body to fill up the meridians, so that the breath of the sun and moon never gets exhausted and never stops striking the obstructions in the meridians.

Rowen gradually gets into a state of being intangible, and it seems that he fails to feel everything from the outside world in addition to the limitless energy that continuously gets into his body. But he knows clearly what’s inside his body, and it may even be that he has never been so clear about his body. His spirit seems to be integrated with the breath of the sun and moon as a whole and flows with the breath in the meridians. They together strike the acupoints and run fast in the meridians. He could even clearly see the obstructions in other seven meridians of the Eight Extra Meridians as if he could see with his eyes the position of each acupoint.

It is such a wonderful feeling that he is addicted to it, and all the sounds from the outside world seem to be blocked by him. At this moment, his eyes and ears seem to be dedicated to discovering his own body.

Rowen doesn’t know how long it takes, but he feels that the seven acupoints on the Vital Channel is getting looser and looser, and Rowen controls the breath of the sun and moon to give their final strike and rush over the obstructions.

Rowen seems to hear a cracking sound from the meridians, and at the same time he feels a continuous but brief pricking. The powerful energy has almost opened up all seven acupoints suddenly and simultaneously. By this moment, the Vital Channel, one of the Eight Extra Meridians, has been completely opened!

Rowen cannot control the excitement rising from his heart, but soon he finds that he is a little bit early to be happy because he suddenly realizes that the energy inside his body is too strong to control. At the moment when the Vital Channel was fully opened, the volume of the breath suddenly increased a few times, which made him almost lose control, allowing the breath to bump up and down inside his body.

The pain that is coming from all over his body wakes Rowen up immediately. He hurries to concentrate and integrates himself with the breath again to guide it toward the right way. Meanwhile, he also refines some of the energy that has not yet been fully converted into the breath of the sun and moon.

In this way Rowen manages to control the breath again after its circulating over and over again. At last, the large volume of the breath gradually becomes smaller, and finally deposits in the public region after being constantly refined.

The breath starts its circulation in his body. Rowen completely ignores all things from the outside world because he has absorbed too much energy at this full moon night, and to open the Vital Channel also makes the energy out of control. Therefore, he must completely integrate himself with the energy to make it become part of his body. Only in this way can the energy be available for his great undertaking.

Rowen can’t remember how many times the breath circulates in his body. All he knows is that it seems to be a long practice which he has never experienced before. It is only when he has fully integrated the energy that he gradually wakes up from the feeling of being intangible.

He slowly opens his eyes, feeling the fullness of the breath inside him and a force that is ready to burst out from him. Rowen has never felt so satisfied before. He knows that his physique has taken a qualitative leap, and according to the Sun and Moon Mind Method, he has succeeded in cultivating the first level by this time.

Rowen realizes that the night has been over when he feels the warm sunlight. When he stands up, he finds that he is really hungry, which makes him feel a little strange. In the past, though he had practiced for a whole night, he would not be so hungry, though he did feel hungry.

Without seeing Agatha, Rowen decides to go out and get something to eat. But when he opens the door, he freezes.

At the door stands a beautiful, sexy blonde. Apparently, she is Nina. She is holding a sword in her arms, leaning again the door as if she is napping.

“Nina!” Rowen can’t help asking her in a soft tone.

“Who’s that?” Nina suddenly straightens up, holding her sword as if she is ready to strike. But she draws it back at once and cries out in surprise, “Ah, Rowen, you finally wake up?”

“Nina, how do you come so early?” Rowen asks. It is calculated that they should take at least four or five days to come here.

“Rowen, the Royal Knight College is going to open so we’re not early at all.” A voice comes from the door of the next room. It is Carl.

In addition to Carl, Patriarch Brain and Nina’s father Bania are also there.

“Sir, Uncle Bania, why are you all here?” Rowen feels confused, then he looks back at Carl again, “You say the Royal Knight College has opened? That’s impossible. What date is it today?”

“Rowen, today is March 3, but the Royal Knight College hasn’t really opened yet, it’s just the last two days for the new students to enroll. And two days later, classes will begin.” Says Patriarch Brain.

“March 3?” Rowen feels stunned. “How come I remember yesterday was February 25? This…”

“We came here the day before yesterday. Agatha was there at that time and she said you’ve been meditating there for days, and said you’re facing a critical period of time so no one can bother you until you wake up.” Patriarch Brain explains, “So for the next two days, we took turns watching you, just in case.”

Rowen begins to understand a bit. No wonder he feels so hungry after training for a long time. However, he is a little surprised that almost seven days have passed since he starts practicing. But when he thinks about what he has achieved in those days, it is all worth it.

“By the way, where’s Agatha?” Rowen couldn’t resist asking.

“You miss your fiancée so soon.” Nina mutters, with a sense of jealousy in her voice.

“Agatha went to the Royal Knight College with Laidlaw for her school admission. She doesn’t plan to attend school here, and therefore she has no admission letter. So she has to figure out something that allows her to study in the College.” Patriarch Brain replies.

“Well, has anyone come to see me these days?” Rowen thinks for a while and asks. He is a little anxious because there has been no news from the Adventure’s Home.

“No.” Patriarch Brain says, “Rowen, are you waiting for someone?”

“No, I’m just asking.” Rowen shakes his head. He doesn’t want Patriarch Brian to know that he is looking for his parents, not because he is afraid to tell him, but because Patriarch Brian would try to help him once he knows Rowen needs so much money to find his parents. And Rowen doesn’t want to cause heavy financial burden to the family because of his hopeless hope.

But then his stomach begins to protest, and Rowen feels hungry again, saying, “Patriarch, I want to get something to eat first.”

“Go!” Patriarch Brian nods, “You haven’t eaten for several days.”

The opening date in March is the busiest time for the Royal Knight College every year, and this year is no exception. Most of the most brilliant young people in the Empire come here on this day.

Before coming to the Royal Knight College, countless people have the title of boy or girl of genius in their hometown or family, but when they come here, the title will suddenly become useless because there are countless talents here and those who can enter here are not ordinary people.

It’s ten o’clock in the morning. Rowen, Carl and Nina are walking through the gate of the Royal Knight College. The enrollment time is closing, and they have to be there for registration. Once they miss the registration time, they are likely to lose the chance to study here.

“Wow, that’s a lot of people!” Nina exclaims. Indeed, there are people everywhere.

“So many beauties!” Carl also exclaims, and it’s just that his attention is focused on the beautiful girls. There’s no doubt that the beautiful girls in the Royal Knight College are beautiful enough to dazzle any man’s eyes. A lot of men will fight for even anyone of them.

“Let’s go to register first before watching beauties.” Rowen shakes his head. Carl really looks like a wolf now.

On campus there are obvious signs that allow Rowen to find the registry office. However, compared with the busy campus, here is a bit too deserted and cheerless. In fact, there is only one man in the registry office right now. He is a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, plain-looking, which disappoints Carl who is looking forward to having a beauty adviser here.

“Hey, you three, hurry up!” The middle-aged teacher is already shouting when he sees the three of Rowen, “You are Rowen, Carl and Nina from the Wolfs, aren’t you?”

“Yes!” Carl answers.

“How do you know that?” Nina asks him back.
