Chapter 215: Chapter 151: Clash (2)

But he felt an intangible gain from it, one he just couldn’t quite grasp yet.

He thought for a moment, then looked it over again.

Again and again.

He replaced each candle as it burned down. Chu Lingguang had gone through several of them when, before he knew it, a beam of light seeped in through the torn window paper.

“CLUCK! CLUCK!”

Chu Lingguang heard a rooster crow.

He had lost count of how many times he examined the Skin Shaft. He had actually been at it until dawn.

’Is this… an Operation Method for constructing the Qi Sea?’

Chu Lingguang muttered to himself in a daze.

He had studied it from late night until dawn, growing more engrossed the longer he looked. To his surprise, he discovered that the text on the Skin Shaft was actually a Skill for constructing the Dantian Qi Sea.

Although he couldn’t be certain.

He felt it was related to the Dantian Qi Sea.

Just last night, he had gained a Qi Vortex from a moment of enlightenment, which had formed in his abdomen, gathering without dispersing. The pleasant surprise from that had yet to fade, and now he had obtained such a special Cultivation Technique from the Skin Shaft Mr. Liu had gifted him.

He didn’t know if his luck was simply exploding or if helping Mr. Liu fulfill his long-cherished wish had accumulated some immense merit, but ever since receiving over one thousand Favor Points from Mr. Liu, everything that happened had begun to feel unbelievable.

’Master has only been gone for a few days; he’ll probably be back in a day or two. As for whether the contents of the Skin Shaft are truly a method for Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea, I’ll find out once I show it to him.’

Chu Lingguang mused.

Guo Wei treated him like his own son, and Chu Lingguang’s debt of gratitude to him was as heavy as a mountain. If the cultivation Skill on the Skin Shaft could help Guo Wei, Chu Lingguang would give it to him without a moment’s hesitation.

All along, besides wanting to help Guo Wei become a Grandmaster, he had also been looking for other ways to repay his master’s kindness.

Chu Lingguang could not bring himself to hide a supreme Cultivation Technique obtained from an outsider from Guo Wei. He could only hope that not only would Guo Wei be able to understand the contents of the Skin Shaft, but that it would also play a crucial role in his master’s cultivation.

Secretly hoarding it to study on his own, terrified of Guo Wei finding out, was simply not something Chu Lingguang could do. Besides, he couldn’t fully understand the contents himself and still needed Guo Wei’s guidance.

Despite staying up all night, Chu Lingguang wasn’t the least bit fatigued. His Day and Night Breathing Technique had reached Perfection, and with every breath he took, his Qi Power transformed in subtle ways. Full of energy, Chu Lingguang went to the Martial Arts Hall and ate with Hei Hu and Guo Fang. Afterward, the two martial brothers went to the backyard to practice their Spear Technique.

Now that he had reached the realm of Unity of Man and Spear, Chu Lingguang could act as he pleased, borrowing the surrounding Potential Energy at any time to unleash even greater power with every thrust.

However, the pinnacle of Spear Technique wasn’t just about utilizing the surrounding Potential Energy. It was about perfectly integrating one’s own physical strength with that Potential Energy, combining the Dragon Elephant Power with Heaven and Earth’s Power to erupt with even greater might.

In the future, once he had truly succeeded in Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea, Chu Lingguang would have to combine the power from his Qi Sea with his Dragon Elephant Power and the surrounding Potential Energy. This would allow him to stack these forces, unleashing yet another level of might.

After last night’s enlightenment, Chu Lingguang had come to understand a fundamental truth: the strength of a Kung Fu depended not only on its underlying Cultivation Technique, but also on the combination and fusion of various powers.

From the resonance of a hundred rivers to the sea embracing them all—the process of Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea was the most direct manifestation of this principle of combining and fusing power.

Only by fusing and finding points of resonance could these powers advance layer by layer, breaking through one barrier after another to reach an unimaginable level.

Therefore, Chu Lingguang now had to not only borrow the surrounding Potential Energy with every thrust, but also manifest his body’s Dragon Elephant Power in each strike. He even had to fuse these multiple forces together, creating a qualitative leap from a mere quantitative increase.

The path of Martial Arts seemed complex and ever-changing, but in truth, all its variations stemmed from the same core principle. Often, the simplest truths were the ultimate expression of power.

Chu Lingguang had achieved a rare state where his Thoughts Reach Far and Wide, giving him a much deeper understanding of the combination and fusion of powers. Now, the power of his Spear Technique was slowly transforming along with his evolving awareness. A true Spear King was perhaps about to be born.

BOOM!

Chu Lingguang thrust his spear forward. The spearhead trembled, resonating with the Heaven and Earth Potential Energy. His solid Pile Skill made his bloodline strong and powerful. In that instant, the power of the Blood Dragon Elephant and Bloodline Dragon Elephant surged from his vigorous bloodline and converged on the Long Spear.

WHOOSH!

A gale force wind kicked up.

It was as if in response to the Dragon Elephant Power.

Chu Lingguang swung his Long Spear, his feet taking several rapid steps forward. The weapon felt both heavy and stable in his hands. Shifting his Spear Technique, he executed a Wild Horse Leaping Over the Stream Middle Level Spear, smashing it down upon a stone block in front of him.

BAM!

An explosive sound rang out.

The Lightning Spear blasted a large chunk of rock from the block. The Long Spear felt as though it were being sucked into the stone. Chu Lingguang sensed that while the power of his Spear Technique was still a far cry from splitting the block in two, the impact had driven the block several centimeters into the ground. It was clear that if this strike had landed on Jier Khan’s shoulder, it would have done far more than simply shatter his collarbone.

It might have pulverized Jier Khan’s shoulder completely, and even damaged his internal organs. This was the kind of power one could generate by fusing different forces after discovering the secret.

“Junior Brother, I get the feeling that a single strike from your spear could kill a tiger.”

Hei Hu was startled by the force of the blow.

Seeing the large chunk blasted off the stone block and how it had sunk several centimeters into the ground, his eyes widened as he stared at Chu Lingguang. He then asked, “Did you awaken two more Bloodline Dragon Elephants?”
