Burning Meridians

Genius Shen Zhuo, in one day reduced to a cripple with dead meridians. Under clan law, three heavy punishments fall at once: meridian extraction, broken engagement, and expulsion from the nine clans. But no one expected that the moment the meridian-extraction needle pierced his chest, it awakened a charred finger bone that had slept for a thousand years. The remnant soul of the ancient Burning Emperor awakens and transmits to him a forbidden art—the Way of Burning Meridians. Others' meridians are for gentle nourishment; his meridians are for burning. Burning lifespan in exchange for power that crushes all. A hundred days later, at the Yunshao Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, he returns wreathed in black-gold flames. His former fiancée stands before the mountain gate, looking at him coldly: "You, a cripple, dare to come and keep the appointment?" Shen Zhuo raises his hand and burns the mountain gate plaque to ashes with one palm strike: "I came not to join your Yunshao Sect—I came to tell you, you are not worthy." — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Burning Meridians — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
