Chapter 166: Chapter 135: Harvest

Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail!

Chu Lingguang felt his blood boil. A formless, beast-like roar erupted from deep within his veins.

The path of Martial Arts.

Those with vigorous Qi Blood could make their very sinews and bones hum in unison.

Chu Lingguang knew he was far from reaching this realm, but for the first time, he had truly utilized the power within his blood.

The instant he threw his fist, Chu Lingguang felt his Qi Power surge past fifteen hundred pounds, then sixteen hundred, then even seventeen hundred and climbing.

The Wooden Man Target before him, weighing seven to eight hundred pounds and standing over six feet tall, was sent flying. As it landed and swayed violently, Chu Lingguang finally saw it clearly: a deep, bowl-sized crater had appeared in its chest.

The crater was surrounded by a dense web of cracks.

By successfully channeling the Dragon Elephant Power in his blood, Chu Lingguang’s punch had seemingly unleashed the Majestic Skin Aspect.

It endowed the otherwise ordinary Iron Mountain Fist with terrifying destructive power.

He threw the punch.

The training ground fell deathly silent.

Chen Jin and Emperor Yue Xuan had also managed to knock their Wooden Man Targets back five meters with a single punch. But now, they felt a figure whistle past, rapidly putting distance between them.

A soul-shaking roar erupted from Chu Lingguang’s fist. Both men were stunned by the sheer Qi Force and startled by the sound.

Looking ahead,

Both saw Chu Lingguang’s Wooden Man Target fly from its spot. Judging by the markings on the ground, it had traveled a distance of 10.21 meters.

More than double their own distances.

Chen Jin’s distance was exactly five meters.

Emperor Yue Xuan’s distance was 5.1 meters.

Not only had Emperor Yue Xuan been the first to awaken the Dragon Elephant Power, but his bloodline also seemed rather special. Despite Chen Jin mastering the method for circulating the Dragon Elephant Power first, he was still unable to surpass the emperor in raw strength.

The two were evenly matched.

A distance of five meters was enough to dominate the entire academy.

Theirs was a performance that should have commanded everyone’s attention. Yet, compared to Chu Lingguang’s display of power, it now seemed feeble. The crowd couldn’t help but gasp when they saw Chu Lingguang’s Wooden Man Target, still swaying violently, and the deep, bowl-sized crater punched into its chest.

Many cried out as if they’d seen a ghost.

“I… How did I do that?”

Even Chu Lingguang himself was momentarily stunned.

’It wasn’t that the power was simply stronger than I’d imagined. It was the process—rousing the Dragon Elephant Power in my blood and channeling it into my fist—that made me feel like I’d entered an entirely new realm. Now, with a mere flip of my hand, the blood in my palm thrums, and even a casual punch is vastly more powerful than before.’

’This feeling of being able to awaken the Dragon Elephant Power in my blood at any time is incredible. I’m clearly aware that the Dragon Elephant Power I’ve mastered isn’t just different from Emperor Yue Xuan’s and Chen Jin’s… it seems my application of it has already surpassed theirs.’

’Did I somehow master the Majestic Skin Aspect from the six-layered Dharma Aspect? What’s going on?’

“Good.”

A loud cry of “Good!” from Li Dayao snapped everyone back to reality.

His eyes blazing, he rushed to Chu Lingguang’s side and grabbed his arms. Li Dayao’s palms grew warm as if he were probing Chu Lingguang’s power.

The Dragon Elephant Power in Chu Lingguang’s blood surged defensively. Sensing its host’s arms being restrained, it awakened on its own, causing his muscles to swell as if to throw off Li Dayao’s grip.

“Good, good, good. Just wonderful.”

Sensing the involuntary surge of power in Chu Lingguang’s blood, Li Dayao was so excited that he circled him several times.

“Good lad! To think you could awaken the Dragon Elephant Power from your blood and even manifest the Majestic Skin Aspect! Your talent is in no way inferior to Yan Zhen, who awakened three streams of Dragon Elephant Power at once!”

Li Dayao’s voice trembled. It was as if he had discovered a priceless jade and couldn’t wait to claim it as his own.

“From now on, if anyone dares to call you slow-witted or keeps droning on about it, I, Liu Wan, will be the first to cripple them!”

Liu Wan’s eyes were also gleaming with excitement.

The previous generation of Academy Masters had discovered a prodigy like Yan Zhen, which had put the two of them under immense pressure. But now that someone like Chu Lingguang had appeared in the academy, they both felt utterly vindicated, the weight on their shoulders finally lifted.

Listening to Li Dayao and Liu Wan’s effusive praise for Chu Lingguang, the crowd felt it was becoming hard to breathe.

It felt as if they were worlds apart from him.

Even Emperor Yue Xuan and Chen Jin, who had always prided themselves on being prodigies, felt a pang of defeat.

’So Big Brother really awakened three streams of Dragon Elephant Power at once. No wonder Commander Wei rushed from the Imperial City to our Yan Family overnight, taking him on as a Direct Disciple and even letting him live alongside the commanders of the Imperial Guard,’ Yan Chengdu thought to himself.

He was astounded to hear Li Dayao say that Yan Zhen had awakened three streams of Dragon Elephant Power at once. Even as Yan Zhen’s younger brother, he had never known the true extent of his strength. He never imagined it was this terrifying.

Whenever they had sparred in the past, Yan Zhen had always calibrated his strength perfectly, helping Yan Chengdu better utilize his own power. Yan Chengdu knew his brother was holding back, knew he wasn’t his equal, but he had always clung to a sliver of hope that one day, he could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

But now, learning that his brother had awakened three streams of Dragon Elephant Power at once, the sense of defeat was so overwhelming it felt suffocating.

And in his eyes, Chu Lingguang’s figure had also grown as vast and imposing as a mountain.
