Chapter 45: The Gray True Qi (Second Update)_1

As the red energy from the tree branches continued to flow into Fang Ren's body, Fang Ren found that the flow of True Qi within his meridians had now surpassed the width of most cultivators.

This caught him by surprise. An overall increase in flow meant a stronger flow of True Qi, and cultivators could unleash more energy in actual combat.

Of course, there was also a downside—True Qi would be consumed quickly. If he encountered a tough opponent without knowing how to control his use of True Qi, that could spell disaster.

But at the lower stages of cultivation, hardly anyone fought protracted battles. With limited True Qi, no one could afford a drawn-out fight, and they usually determined the victor within a few dozen exchanges, or sometimes in a single move.

Regardless, having faster True Qi bursts than others in the early stages was definitely a good thing.
