Chapter 218: Chapter 152: Ambition (Part 2)

Of course, the backgrounds of people like Xue Bingsheng, Hu Yong, Lian Junmiao, and Yuan Zeng were far beyond what Chu Lingguang and Hei Hu could ever hope to match.

The two couldn’t help but ask themselves: these scions of Noble Families already had vast resources, yet to activate their bloodlines, they still sought out Feng Zhiwen to awaken even more Dragon Elephant Power with external aid.

If it weren’t for their connection to Guo Wei, they would have never known that a Bloodline Dragon Elephant could be awakened through external assistance.

Even if they trained bitterly day and night, it would be difficult to ever compare to them in the future.

It was true what they said about Noble Families. Not only did they have shortcuts, but they also had far more options. No wonder the Lower-class Youths could only survive in the cracks, struggling to stand out. This was a gap that hard work alone could never bridge.

WHOOSH!

At Feng Zhiwen’s reminder, everyone except Hei Hu—Chu Lingguang and the other six—simultaneously activated their Day and Night Breathing Technique.

These disciples of noble clans had also cultivated the Day and Night Breathing Technique upon entering the academy, which just went to show how important it was.

Everyone began Breathing and Exhaling with all their might.

Chu Lingguang opened all his apertures.

With his blood vessels connected throughout his body, a single breath he took in could complete a Great Cycle. As the energy coursed through his hundreds of meridians, it produced the roar of a hundred rivers, the sound of water rushing through a great canyon.

Now that his Day and Night Breathing Technique had reached Perfection, his Qi Power circulated and strengthened his blood vessels as he breathed. A single Great Cycle left him feeling refreshed and clear. Among the eight of them, the commotion he caused was the greatest. It was as if a bottomless pit had opened within him; the amount of yellow and white turbid air he inhaled and exhaled far surpassed the other seven.

At that moment, the other six, who had been Breathing and Exhaling with all their might at Feng Zhiwen’s command, secretly opened their eyes to glance at Chu Lingguang.

’His blood vessels are connected throughout his body, roaring like a hundred rivers.’

’His circulation speed is incredible. Could his blood vessels already be indestructible?’

’So the rumors were true. Chu Lingguang really has connected the blood vessels throughout his body. It seems he truly has awakened a Blood Dragon Elephant. A single Blood Dragon Elephant is comparable to three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants. This Chu Lingguang is far more powerful than I imagined.’

Each of them was lost in their own thoughts.

Sensing the power of Chu Lingguang’s Hundred Rivers Operation, the group began to regard him with more importance. Even Liu Qingqing started to size him up seriously.

“Continue to circulate your Breathing Technique. I will use acupuncture to obstruct your Breathing and Exhaling,” Feng Zhiwen said. “As long as you force yourselves to continue, you will feel a tearing sensation in your blood vessels. But if you can endure the pain, keep your breathing steady, and successfully absorb the power from the medicinal tea, you will awaken a Bloodline Dragon Elephant much more easily.”

As Feng Zhiwen spoke… SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Eight Silver Needles shot from his hands, flying swiftly toward an acupoint on each of the eight individuals.

The Silver Needles pierced through their clothes, landing with perfect accuracy on the same acupoint for each person.

Everyone grunted, feeling as though a stone had appeared in their blood vessels, blocking the flow of their energy. Their first instinct was to use their Qi Power to smash it apart.

But the sensation of pushing the stone aside and having it roll through their blood vessels was just as Feng Zhiwen had described: an intense tearing pain that made them want to stop.

Chu Lingguang’s energy was in a state of Hundred Rivers Operation; if one blood vessel was blocked, he could simply use another. But he knew he shouldn’t take the easy way out. Doing so would be a waste of Guo Wei’s painstaking efforts and a squandered opportunity.

So, as his energy circulated, not only did he not avoid the blocked vessel, he focused his strength, gathering his Qi Power there to try and force the obstruction open.

Since his Day and Night Breathing Technique was at the level of Perfection, his blood vessels were strengthened as his energy circulated.

Now that the blood vessel was “blocked,” that strengthening power didn’t disappear. Therefore, as his energy pushed through, Chu Lingguang felt the tearing sensation, but it wasn’t as intense as what the others were experiencing.

The roaring of energy from within his body continued without pause.

The others were influenced by his powerful display.

One by one, they forced themselves to endure.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A moment later, just as the group had managed to withstand the tearing pain, Feng Zhiwen shot out another volley of Silver Needles.

They immediately felt another blockage appear in their bodies. As their energy circulated, the tearing pain now flared up in multiple places at once.

The obstruction and the pain both intensified.

The entire group was drenched in sweat, and Chu Lingguang was no exception.

A quarter of an hour later.

Feng Zhiwen inserted another Silver Needle into each of them.

Half an hour later.

Each person now had eight Silver Needles embedded in different acupoints on their body. The speed of their Breathing and Exhaling had become extremely slow.

Everyone’s face was contorted in a grimace, and some were even on the verge of giving up.

Chu Lingguang suddenly realized that his Hundred Rivers Operation gave him no advantage whatsoever against this kind of pain.

Although his blood vessels were strengthened, it seemed to be a negligible factor in the face of such agony.

“Drink the tea!”

Just then, Mrs. Chu of the Zhang Family and Guo Fang placed a bowl of the brewed medicinal tea in front of each person, and Feng Zhiwen ordered them to drink.

Chu Lingguang and the others knew.

Feng Zhiwen wanted them to endure the tearing pain while their blood vessels were obstructed and their energy circulation was impeded, all so they could absorb the medicinal power and awaken the Bloodline Dragon Elephant within them.

They had held on this long precisely to digest this special medicinal tea.

Though the pain was unbearable, they all lifted their bowls in unison and slowly drank every last drop, then resumed circulating their Breathing Technique.

The medicinal tea entered their stomachs.

Its power automatically began to spread.
