Chapter 223: Chapter 154: Inheritance

“With your master here, nothing will happen to you.”

Guo Wei saw Chu Lingguang’s alarmed expression and thought he was still worried.

“I know.”

Chu Lingguang nodded numbly.

Back in his room alone, he couldn’t help but wonder, ’Did Master already memorize the contents?’

’Master is a cautious man. He was willing to swallow his pride and feign illness just to avoid getting dragged into that mess with Yan Yusheng and Big Saber Hong. Since he’s already said that only the Royal Family and Nobility can practice the Mixed Element Skill, he wouldn’t lie to me. And he certainly wouldn’t practice it in secret.’

’But what about the Favor Points?’

’Perhaps he gained some unexpected insight after reading the Mixed Element Skill.’

’I shouldn’t doubt Master. Even if he did lie to me, he would never harm me.’

Chu Lingguang trusted Guo Wei and told himself not to overthink it.

He then looked at his status panel.

Favor Points: 1367

Chang Chun Pile Skill (222/2000)

Circulation Operation Skill (191/1000)

Great River Operation Method (0/4000)

Mixed Element Skill (0/10000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 120 years)

Chu Lingguang felt a stir as he looked at the words “Mixed Element Skill.” He had already formed a Qi Vortex; if he practiced this skill, could he successfully open his Dantian and Qi Sea?

Everyone from Eunuch Liu and Liu Wan to Li Dayao, Yang Shaorong, and even Guo Wei were all experts who had opened their Dantian and Qi Sea. The memory of Eunuch Liu’s palm strike and Liu Wan’s single breath of air lingered in Chu Lingguang’s mind, impossible to forget.

However, he was one to heed advice, especially from Guo Wei.

He quickly abandoned the improper thought.

With his match against Samba drawing closer, he recalled how Guo Wei had traveled a great distance to invite Feng Zhiwen over, and how Xue Bingsheng, Yuan Zeng, and the others were all waiting in anticipation. This was no time for daydreams.

He needed to spend his Favor Points on a skill that could boost his power in the short term.

In the end, Chu Lingguang decided to first upgrade the Circulation Operation Skill to Perfection, then pour the remaining Favor Points into the Chang Chun Pile Skill.

First.

The Circulation Operation Skill was a skill from the academy that complemented the Day and Night Breathing Technique. Its primary function was to control the flow of Dragon Elephant Power, allowing for a much better release of its might.

If the Chang Chun Pile Skill combined with the Day and Night Breathing Technique was for awakening Dragon Elephant Power, then the Circulation Operation Skill was for helping you unleash every last bit of that power.

Once he reached Perfection in the skill, even if the amount of his Dragon Elephant Power remained the same, its might and his Qi Power would change astonishingly.

The status panel updated again.

Favor Points: 0

Chang Chun Pile Skill (780/2000)

Circulation Operation Skill (1000/1000)

Great River Operation Method (0/4000)

Mixed Element Skill (0/10000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 120)

Chu Lingguang sat back on his bed and tried to circulate his Dragon Elephant Power. He had already activated the Circulation Operation Skill, but to allow it to assist his Dragon Elephant Power to the fullest, he had to make the skill and the power resonate.

Previously, Chu Lingguang had been unable to do so.

But after his Day and Night Breathing Technique reached Perfection, a Qi Vortex formed in his abdomen and he gained the ability of Introspection. As a result, his understanding of the Dragon Elephant Power in his body had deepened considerably.

Now, the value for his Circulation Operation Skill had also reached Perfection.

As Chu Lingguang circulated the skill again, under Introspection, he not only heard his Dragon Elephant Power cheering but also detected a sense of familiarity.

Before, the Dragon Elephant Power hidden in his blood and his Yin Yang Ren Du Chong Five Meridian Dragon Elephant would respond to the call of the Circulation Operation Skill, but it was like a perfunctory routine. They were like an old machine that could turn, but not efficiently.

But now.

The Circulation Operation Skill had reached Perfection.

With the help of Introspection.

Chu Lingguang not only sensed a familiarity from his Blood Dragon Elephant and the Yin Yang Ren Du Chong Five Meridian Dragon Elephant, but he could also distinctly feel them pouring all their power into his every command as he circulated the skill.

Working in concert with the Circulation Operation Skill, a natural resonance emerged as the power coursed through his meridians. Even the Qi Vortex in his abdomen responded whenever the Circulation Operation Skill roused his Dragon Elephant Power, and the vortex’s rotation would accelerate.

Chu Lingguang clenched his fist.

With a single thought.

The Circulation Operation Skill gathered the Dragon Elephant Power from his entire body, seemingly condensing it all into his fist in an instant. He felt that with just a slight exertion from his fingers, he could rip an enemy’s shoulder clean off.

If he were to throw a punch with his full strength…

…he could shatter even a thick, rammed-earth wall.

His Qi Power was transforming along with his Dragon Elephant Power.

“BELLOW!”

Chu Lingguang slowly opened his hand, letting the Dragon Elephant Power course freely through his body. The sound of a Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail issued from his meridians and blood, but he quickly suppressed it.

Gradually, Chu Lingguang discovered something. While the Circulation Operation Skill was used to actively circulate Dragon Elephant Power, if he let that power flow freely through his meridians—like the natural rhythm of Breathing and Exhaling—and complete a Great Cycle, it would invisibly enhance the might of the Dragon Elephant Power itself.

According to his original understanding.

The might of one’s Dragon Elephant Power was limited by the strength of their bloodline.

The actual power one could unleash depended on what percentage of the Dragon Elephant Power’s might the Operation Method could draw out.

He had never imagined that the Dragon Elephant Power itself could grow stronger.

’The key to its growth lies in mastering the Circulation Operation Skill. No wonder. The academy first taught the Day and Night Breathing Technique to help everyone activate their Dragon Elephant Power, then immediately followed up with the Circulation Operation Skill, and finally gave us the Zhenyuan Pile Skill.’

It seemed that with every skill, as one’s training deepened, the effects it could produce would shatter their previous understanding of it.
