It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

While Lin Li was quickly memorizing the locations of acupuncture points and meridians, the energy remaining in the acupuncture points was also flowing into the body.

At this moment, Lin Li suddenly realized that he finally knew how to break through to become a saint-level warrior.

Before reaching Saint level, energy is used to strengthen the body. If one wants to break through to become a Saint level warrior, one must allow the body to be able to integrate energy.

This is completely different from before. It is no longer about strengthening the body. After the fusion of energy, the body is already transforming into semi-energy.

The key point is that only the energy in the acupuncture points can be integrated. Maybe it's because of the backdoor.

In fact, Lin Li had also used the energy in the acupuncture points to strengthen himself before, but because the activity of his body cells could not meet the requirements of fusion energy, he could only carry out normal body strengthening.

If you want your body cells to reach a level where they can fuse energy, you must continue to practice.

In fact, every time a warrior strengthens his body, he is increasing the activity of cells. The more active the body cells are, the stronger they are.

However, when the human warriors reached the legendary level, they still could not reach the level of allowing the body to fuse energy. It can even be said that they were far behind.

The main reason why Lin Li and Francois were able to feel a breakthrough was because of this burning life.

Overdrawing one's own potential and lifespan makes the body's cells active. This short-term explosive enhancement activates all the body's potential at once, allowing the body's cells to reach the level where they can integrate energy.

And it is far beyond this level. After all, this is an improvement at the cost of lifespan.

Lin Li summarized the necessary conditions for breaking through to the Saint level:

The first is that the body's cells are active enough so that the body can integrate energy.

The second is the legendary physical strength required. Active cells must have strong physical support, otherwise the other functions of the body will not be able to withstand such a state.

The third is to have enough energy to fuse. This is the most critical point, and also the most difficult to achieve.

Because these energies must be the energies in the acupuncture points. Only through this "back door" can fusion be achieved.

The energy outside the acupoints cannot do this.

Breaking through the Saint level means transforming the body into semi-energy state.

This is why Franzo said that his body was transforming into a semi-elemental body, because he had integrated the wind element at that time.

But this transformation process is definitely not something that can be completed with just a little bit of energy, nor can it be completed in a short period of time.

Last time, even if Lin Li didn't interrupt him, Francois would still fail in the end. Because the energy left in his acupuncture points was not enough. Even if he had enough energy, he would still fail because he didn't have enough time.

Lin Li's cells were in an active state, automatically integrating the energy in the acupuncture points, while Lin Li tried hard to remember the newly appeared acupuncture points and meridians.

Only then did Lin Li realize that his previous knowledge of acupuncture points and meridians was only superficial. Only in this state did he get a glimpse of a small part of the body's secrets.

It turns out that acupuncture points and meridians have layers. The eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians he knew before are only the most superficial meridians. There are more acupuncture points and meridians deeper inside the body.

Lin Li discovered that the deeper the acupuncture points were, the less energy remained, and soon the energy in some of the deepest acupuncture points was integrated away.

Without energy, the acupuncture points quickly darkened, as if they did not exist at all. No matter how hard Lin Li tried to sense and search, he could not find them.

The energy in several more acupuncture points was used up. Just like before, they disappeared without a trace.

The remaining energy in these acupoints is too little, and it is not enough to support the consumption of breaking through to the Saint level.

That would be fine, but the key is that once they disappear, if Lin Li doesn’t remember the location, he won’t be able to find these acupoints next time.

When Lin Li discovered this, he immediately knew that his breakthrough this time was bound to fail, because the energy in those newly appeared acupoints was not enough to support him to complete the Saint-level breakthrough.

The body can no longer integrate the energy of the acupoints. Not only will it fail to break through successfully, but it will also cause these new acupoints to disappear again.

At this moment, Lin Li felt that the spiritual energy in his body was finally absorbed completely at this moment.

But the state of burning life did not stop. From this moment on, Lin Li felt the rapid loss of life.

At this moment, Lin Li finally realized that he had not shortened his lifespan. This method of burning his lifespan could actually use energy to replace his lifespan. Only when the energy in his body was exhausted would he start to consume his lifespan.

Just think about it and you will understand that to maintain this level of cell activity, a large amount of energy is required to support it. Now that there is no spiritual energy to support it, Lin Li has to stop immediately or pay with his lifespan.

It is impossible to stop. If you miss this time, there will be fewer acupoints to light up next time. But it takes a lot of time to remember these acupoints.

Moreover, Lin Li discovered that the speed at which his lifespan was being lost was accelerating. It was just like a fire. Once it started burning, it could not be controlled and would only burn more and more vigorously.

Energy, energy. A lot of energy is needed. And the automatic fusion of the acupoints must be stopped.

Lin Li subconsciously wanted to move the energy in the acupuncture points. The energy in the acupuncture points he knew was instantly drawn out by him and all went to the Nascent Soul in his Dantian.

Those newly emerged acupuncture points are still isolated islands, and the tendons are blocked. The energy inside is naturally illegal to move.

What Lin Li didn't expect was that after he drained all the energy from the known acupoints, the breakthrough process actually stopped.

The acupuncture points deep inside the body no longer absorb the energy inside.

At this point it can be said that the breakthrough has failed.

Lin Li understood this situation after a little thought. The acupoints on the outermost part that he knew were the most basic.

Now that the outer layer has stopped, deeper integration cannot proceed.

It's like a ventilation corridor with many doors. As long as the outermost door is closed, there will be no ventilation even if all the inner doors are open.

Now the breakthrough has failed, but he still has to maintain the burning state, otherwise those acupoints with residual energy will no longer appear.

But if he wanted to remember these acupuncture points and tendons, his lifespan could not be consumed at all. Not to mention him, even elves or dragons could not afford it. And the speed of consumption was still increasing.

He must have a lot of energy, otherwise he would have to give up this opportunity.
