Chapter 180: Chapter 140: Single Spear

Dragon Elephant Power, six layers of the Dharma Aspect.

Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Spirit. The power of each layer of the Dharma Aspect was different.

By opening all the blood vessels throughout his body, achieving a Day and Night Breathing Technique score of over eight hundred, and cultivating both the Basic Breathing Technique and the Tidal Breathing Technique to the Perfection realm, Chu Lingguang had been fortunate enough to awaken the Blood Dragon Elephant. He had also, somehow, managed to grasp the Majestic Skin Aspect.

Li Dayao and Liu Wan had once explained that the so-called Skin Aspect involved making the Dragon Elephant Power within the body resonate with the surface of the skin.

When the Skin Aspect reached Great Success, it was like being cloaked in a layer of Dragon Scale Elephant Hide. Not only would one’s Attack Power soar, but their physical defense would also evolve.

Chu Lingguang’s Majestic Skin Aspect was still a long way from Great Success. He had only just found the point of resonance, so for now, he could only channel his Dragon Elephant Power to the surface of his skin and merge it. He couldn’t yet leverage the resonant power of the Skin Aspect to further evolve the might of his Dragon Elephant Power. Acquiring the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide would also take time.

But even the initial stage of the Majestic Skin Aspect made one far stronger than others who hadn’t unlocked a Dharma Aspect power.

What’s more, Chu Lingguang had awakened the Blood Dragon Elephant.

A single Blood Dragon Elephant was comparable to three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants.

Even if Chen Jin had awakened two paths of Dragon Elephant Power, Chu Lingguang could crush him in sheer strength without even activating his Skin Aspect power.

At this critical moment.

With four Horse-Cutting Sabers chopping down at him simultaneously, Chu Lingguang had no choice but to go beyond defense and retaliate with all his might, relying on the advantage of his Dragon Elephant Power to turn the tables.

“GRAAAH!”

At that moment, the blood throughout his body boiled.

A searing heatwave radiated from the surface of his skin.

As he swept his Long Spear back, a downward force seemed to gather, growing stronger with distance until the spear itself emitted a deafening sound of wind and thunder.

“CLANG!”

The four Horse-Cutting Sabers chopped down onto Chu Lingguang’s Long Spear.

Chu Lingguang didn’t feel the force that should have knocked the Long Spear from his grasp. Instead, he saw the four long sabers show signs of flying away under the powerful sweep of his spear.

The two Imperial Guard experts were sent flying backward by the force of the Skin Aspect, their feet sliding across the ground.

Chu Lingguang advanced with his Long Spear.

The Linked Spear technique locked onto both of them simultaneously.

His blood boiled, a hundred rivers roared, and the Dragon Elephant Power in his body intensified under the Circulation Operation Skill. The Majestic Skin Aspect also reached its peak at this very moment.

Imperceptibly, the crowd seemed to see a change on the surface of Chu Lingguang’s skin—the faint traces of Dragon Scale Elephant Hide.

“HRAAAGH!”

Chu Lingguang let out a thunderous roar.

He executed the move Wind-Sweeping Lotus Leaves, enveloping both Imperial Guard experts at once.

It prevented them from escaping his Spear Technique, forcing them to resist with all their might.

“WHAM!”

This spear strike truly reached the absolute limit.

It was like toppling mountains and overturning seas, an unstoppable force. It seemed as though Chu Lingguang had unleashed forty percent of his blood’s Dragon Elephant Power in a single blow.

“THUD! THUD!”

The two Imperial Guard experts could no longer hold on. They had just managed to steady themselves and hadn’t yet gathered their strength when the blow hit. This time, they were not only sent flying out of the combat circle, but the four sabers they held also clattered to the ground.

Looking closely, one could see that all four sabers were bent, with conspicuous cuts on them.

It was as if they had almost been snapped in two by Chu Lingguang’s single sweep.

The two men crashed to the ground, sliding to a stop before Pan Tongguang and the other defeated members of the Imperial Guard. They saw that the duo’s faces were flushed red, as if congested blood was trapped in their chests, and they were unable to stand for a long while. The gazes they directed at Chu Lingguang had turned from shock to a dull stupor.

Pan Tongguang glanced at the tears on his own sleeves. He already knew Chu Lingguang had shown mercy, but now he had a sudden realization. Chu Lingguang hadn’t just held back; he had been suppressing his power the entire time they fought. If Chu Lingguang had used his Circulation Operation Skill from the start to activate his Blood Dragon Elephant and unleash the Majestic Skin Aspect, a single spear strike could have severely injured him. It could have sent him flying from the combat circle, or even knocked him unconscious on the spot.

Thinking of this, the gratitude in Pan Tongguang’s horrified eyes grew stronger. The hand resting on his thigh couldn’t help but secretly give Chu Lingguang a thumbs-up.

’Master Guo has taken on a fine disciple,’ he thought. ’Now, nothing can stand in the way of the old master’s claim to the title of Grandmaster.’

“The Skin Aspect!”

“He actually activated his Dharma Aspect… This…”

Feng Junyi was so excited he became incoherent.

’Three days by water, two days over mountains.’ During their journey, although Chu Lingguang had comprehended the resonance point for the Unity of Man and Spear, Feng Junyi had felt that while Chu Lingguang was diligent, his talent wasn’t particularly outstanding. He believed finding that resonance point was mainly due to accumulated effort.

In his heart, he had always believed Chu Lingguang’s most brilliant qualities were his loyalty, kindness, and gratitude. Who would have thought that just one month later, he would provide such a stunning revelation?

’His blood vessels are open throughout his entire body.’

’He’s awakened the Blood Dragon Elephant.’

’And he’s even activated the Majestic Skin Aspect.’

’In one month of cultivation, he has achieved all the phenomena that should come with the Day and Night Breathing Technique. With talent and strength like this, his future is boundless.’

’To have met him in South City and seen him enter the academy to cultivate and achieve such glory… it’s not only a brilliant mark on my political record, but a moment of great personal fortune.’

He also couldn’t help but exclaim with a sigh, “Master Guo has taken on a fine disciple!”

“Thank you, Lord Feng. For our master to receive your recognition, I thank you on his behalf.”

Yang Shaorong said, clasping his hands.

“Haha, Captain Yang, no need to be so formal. You are as outstanding as Chu Lingguang. With the two of you under his tutelage, how could Master Guo worry about not being named a Grandmaster in the future?”

Feng Junyi said, full of confidence.

“My master’s Spear Technique is unmatched in this world, and his strength is unfathomable. Even without Lin Guang and me, the title of Grandmaster would fall to him. However, being able to contribute to his cause makes his painstaking instruction all worthwhile.”
