Chapter 170: Chapter 136: Eunuch (2)

Everyone cherished these final moments.

BOOM!

Emperor Yue Xuan threw a punch at the Wooden Man Target.

Watching the Wooden Man Target fly nine meters from the force of his punch, his expression grew excited. He couldn’t help but circulate his Dragon Elephant Power just beneath the surface of his skin.

He had not yet unleashed the Majestic Skin Aspect of his Dragon Elephant Power.

But with the help of the Circulation Operation Skill, his control over his Dragon Elephant Power had reached a new level of understanding. His strength felt like it had evolved, and his Attack Power had skyrocketed.

Everyone watched him with immense envy.

Chu Lingguang was no exception.

Emperor Yue Xuan was exceptionally talented with astonishing comprehension. He was the first among them to activate the Circulation Operation Skill and the first to cause his Dragon Elephant Power to surge dramatically once again.

“If you can’t understand the content Mr. Li and I are teaching, you could try discussing it with Emperor Yue Xuan.”

Liu Wan came over to advise him.

Five days had passed, and Chu Lingguang still hadn’t managed to activate the Circulation Skill. With their time at the academy about to end, if Chu Lingguang couldn’t master this Skill, his and Li Dayao’s performance evaluation scores would take a massive hit.

Because of this, both Liu Wan and Li Dayao were growing anxious.

They had already tutored Chu Lingguang privately many times.

If they continued to focus their training on Chu Lingguang, it might start some idle gossip.

After giving his advice, Liu Wan went to find Emperor Yue Xuan. “Excellent,” he said to him. “With time, if you can awaken the Blood Dragon Elephant, I’m afraid you might be able to compete with Yan Zhen in the future. There are only a few days left of training at the academy. The material Mr. Li and I are covering might be a bit profound. If you can’t quite grasp it, you should have a good talk with Chu Lingguang. Perhaps he can give you some unexpected help when it comes to awakening the Blood Dragon Elephant.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Liu.”

Emperor Yue Xuan’s eyes lit up.

As a fellow ’chosen one,’ he had always wanted to compete with Yan Zhen. But here at the academy, Chu Lingguang had stolen his thunder, which had left him feeling quite frustrated.

He had almost forgotten about the Yan Zhen business.

After Liu Wan’s reminder, Emperor Yue Xuan felt it was necessary to talk to Chu Lingguang. No matter what, he had to seize these last few days to elevate his strength once more.

“Chu Lingguang, can we talk?”

Emperor Yue Xuan called out to Chu Lingguang, who was about to return to his room to cultivate.

“Uh… okay.”

Chu Lingguang quickly replied. Ever since Liu Wan’s reminder, he had been wondering how he could ask Emperor Yue Xuan for guidance. ’Coming from a Humble Family, he probably won’t even give me the time of day.’

“Let’s talk in your room.”

Chu Lingguang invited Emperor Yue Xuan into his private room.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Emperor Yue Xuan nodded and entered Chu Lingguang’s room.

He was a little surprised to see Chu Lingguang’s room was clean and tidy. Then he remembered Chu Lingguang came from a Humble Family and was likely skilled at cleaning and organizing, and he felt it made sense.

“Ahem… I would like to ask for your guidance, Chu. What is the key to awakening the Blood Dragon Elephant? You only need to explain your own experience to me. I would be endlessly grateful and will surely remember this favor.”

Since he was asking a favor of Chu Lingguang, Emperor Yue Xuan spoke very politely. After entering, he unclasped his hands from behind his back and bowed with his hands folded toward Chu Lingguang.

“You’re too kind, Yue. To be honest, I also wanted to ask for your guidance on how to activate the Circulation Operation Skill. What is the key? You also only need to tell me your insights and experiences.”

Chu Lingguang replied, also bowing with his hands folded.

Recalling what Liu Wan had said, he immediately understood that Emperor Yue Xuan had only sought him out at Liu Wan’s urging.

Emperor Yue Xuan was taken aback.

How could he not understand something that Chu Lingguang had figured out? Once he realized what had happened, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Haha, in that case, let’s be frank with each other. I’ll start by telling you my insights on how I activated the Circulation Operation Skill.”

Emperor Yue Xuan completely relaxed.

“Okay. Do you mind if I write it down on some rough paper, Yue? You know my comprehension is rather poor, and my memory isn’t great either.”

Chu Lingguang asked.

“No problem. Leave a few sheets for me; I’ll need to take notes later too.”

Emperor Yue Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

Chu Lingguang was overjoyed. The rough paper Hei Hu had given him would finally be useful.

Considering himself a man from a Noble Family, Emperor Yue Xuan wouldn’t deign to deceive Chu Lingguang. So, he sincerely and meticulously explained his insights on the key points of activating the Circulation Operation Skill, sharing all his experiences.

Chu Lingguang focused on taking notes, not missing a single piece of information. If there was something he didn’t understand, he would immediately ask Emperor Yue Xuan to explain it in simpler terms.

In the end, Chu Lingguang had filled five full sheets of rough paper with Emperor Yue Xuan’s insights. Seeing how seriously he took this, treasuring his experiences like a priceless gem, Emperor Yue Xuan couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration, especially considering that Chu Lingguang had already awakened the Majestic Skin Aspect yet still maintained such a humble attitude.

He then picked up the papers Chu Lingguang had written on and read them over carefully. Spotting a few errors, he proactively corrected them for Chu Lingguang. After finishing, he seemed to have a new realization and shared this newfound insight with Chu Lingguang as well.

Chu Lingguang was very moved and once again noted everything down carefully.

“Now, I must trouble you, Chu, to tell me your insights on awakening the Blood Dragon Elephant. If you could also tell me about your experience awakening the Majestic Skin Aspect, I would be endlessly grateful and would never forget it.”

Emperor Yue Xuan said with a serious expression, holding a charcoal pencil and spreading the rough paper on the bed board.

“Alright, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Looking at the five densely-filled sheets of rough paper, plus the half sheet he had just written with Emperor Yue Xuan’s latest insights, Chu Lingguang was deeply moved and filled with gratitude toward him.

Seeing that he was ready,

Chu Lingguang cleared his throat. Just as he was about to explain his insights clearly, his mind suddenly felt like it turned to mush. He didn’t know how to describe the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He stammered, “Um… first, it’s like this.”

Emperor Yue Xuan frowned. Ready to write furiously, his hand froze over the paper.

“And then… it’s sort of like this.”

“Oh, no, that’s not right. I think it’s more like this: a stream of heat shoots up from the soles of your feet straight to the top of your head, and then it follows the… uh…”

Chu Lingguang explained while flailing his arms and legs.

For a moment, Emperor Yue Xuan had no idea what to write on the paper, and his expression gradually darkened.

A moment later, Emperor Yue Xuan crushed the charcoal pencil to dust and roared, “Chu Lingguang, you dare to mock me!”

…

「The next morning.」

Chu Lingguang and the other ten students gathered once again to listen to Li Dayao’s teachings, trying to activate the Circulation Skill and merge it with the Day and Night Breathing Technique.

Li Dayao frowned the moment he entered.

He felt that the atmosphere was off.

His gaze swept over the group, and he suddenly noticed a lump on Emperor Yue Xuan’s forehead. The man who always sat at the very front was hiding in the back today. If he hadn’t been paying close attention, he might have missed him entirely.

Feeling that Chu Lingguang had made a fool of him, Emperor Yue Xuan had eventually lost his temper and attacked.

Unfortunately, the Blood Dragon Elephant was comparable to three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants. Even though he had mastered the Circulation Operation Skill, which allowed his Dragon Elephant Power to evolve, he still couldn’t gain an advantage.

He was sent flying out of the room by Chu Lingguang, his forehead smacking against the ground, resulting in his current predicament.

Knowing he was at fault, Chu Lingguang had written down his insights on paper and delivered them to Emperor Yue Xuan’s room in the middle of the night. When Emperor Yue Xuan saw him approach, he mistakenly thought Chu Lingguang was there for a sneak attack and struck decisively. He was once again sent flying by Chu Lingguang’s Blood Dragon Elephant, his forehead hitting the wall this time, and the lump grew even bigger.

On this day, a dull roar emanated from within Chen Jin’s body.

He had awakened his second Dragon Elephant Power.

Given that he already understood the Dragon Elephant Operation Skill, his combat power skyrocketed, surpassing even Emperor Yue Xuan. He could now compete with Chu Lingguang.

As the deadline drew near,

the street by the lake outside the small island grew increasingly bustling. A long, winding queue of people had alarmed everyone in the Governor’s Mansion.

When Liu Wan saw the commotion by the lake, he had a bad feeling. He immediately found Li Dayao and said, “Eunuch Liu is here. The news still reached him after all.”

“There are still two days until the training ends, yet he’s already rushed over. It seems he’s determined to get what he wants this time.”

Li Dayao’s expression was grave. ’A promising seedling like Chu Lingguang must not be taken away by Eunuch Liu.’
