Chapter 226: Chapter 155: Advancement

“Again!”

Unwilling to accept defeat, Xue Bingsheng pestered Chu Lingguang to keep fighting.

Chu Lingguang needed a sparring partner just like him. The two tested each other, and with each consecutive loss, Xue Bingsheng only fought more fiercely. Unfortunately, he could never gain an advantage over Chu Lingguang.

After losing more than ten matches in a row to Chu Lingguang, Xue Bingsheng was exhausted. Chu Lingguang, however, immediately began circulating the Day and Night Breathing Technique, combining it with the Chang Chun Pile Skill to try and awaken more of his Bloodline Power.

His Chang Chun Pile Skill had now reached a value of over seven hundred.

Not only were Chu Lingguang’s feet rooted to the ground, but he could also clearly feel his bloodline growing stronger under the protection of the Chang Chun Pile Skill.

Combined with his Introspection ability,

Chu Lingguang was receiving more and more feedback from his bloodline.

Finally, he heard a familiar sound within his Dai Meridian. The sound was intermittent, and he couldn’t grasp it at first. But with the help of his Introspection and the Chang Chun Pile Skill, Chu Lingguang estimated that he could awaken the Dragon Elephant Power in his Dai Meridian in less than three days.

At that point, he would possess six main meridian Dragon Elephants and a full body of Blood Dragon Elephants. Even if the total amount of his Dragon Elephant Power was less than Samba’s, the gap wouldn’t be too wide.

THUD!

His feet sank.

The soles of his feet dug into the sandy soil as he used the Pile Skill to protect his bloodline and the Circulation Operation Skill to channel the Dragon Elephant Power through his veins.

He suppressed the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail.

Outwardly, Chu Lingguang just looked like a practitioner immersed in his Pile Skill training. The others couldn’t possibly detect the surging Dragon Elephant Power within him.

As his Circulation Operation Skill reached Perfection,

Chu Lingguang’s control over his Dragon Elephant Power had not only become masterful, allowing him to unleash a greater degree of its might, but he could also circulate it without easily making a sound.

Subconsciously,

Chu Lingguang thought of the Turtle Breath Technique.

Back in Master Yan’s courtyard, he had restrained his aura and used the Turtle Breath Technique to resonate with the heavens and earth, which had evolved his sensory system.

Now, his Turtle Breath Technique had long since reached Perfection, but he hadn’t been able to re-enter that state.

But now, as he used the Circulation Operation Skill to circulate the Dragon Elephant Power through his bloodline according to the steps of the Day and Night Breathing Technique, Chu Lingguang found that although he could prevent the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail from sounding out,

he couldn’t completely conceal the Dragon Elephant’s aura during the process. He knew that in battle, being able to restrain one’s tiger-like aura could be used for deception and turn the tide of a fight.

Chu Lingguang could clearly feel it.

With the help of the Circulation Operation Skill, few of his peers could detect or sense the movement of the Dragon Elephant Power when he circulated it.

But when facing those stronger than himself, like Yan Zhen or Yang Shaorong, Chu Lingguang always felt as if his every move was within their perception.

It was as if he were stripped naked, completely exposed for them to see.

The feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

So, he couldn’t help but try to merge the Turtle Breath Technique and the Circulation Operation Skill. He wanted to be able to circulate his Dragon Elephant Power not only to increase its might but also to do so silently, without the slightest ripple, allowing him to achieve victory through surprise at a critical moment.

This wasn’t the first time Chu Lingguang had this ingenious idea.

But back then, his Circulation Operation Skill had not yet reached Perfection, and his control over it was far from his current proficiency. Every attempt had ended in failure.

Now, taking advantage of the break while resting with Xue Bingsheng, Chu Lingguang used his Chang Chun Pile Skill and began trying to merge the Turtle Breath Technique and the Circulation Operation Skill.

In his sea of consciousness,

the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail began to slowly fade.

However, the Dragon Elephant Power in his bloodline roared with unprecedented ferocity. His blood boiled, coursing through his body like streams of hot liquid.

Chu Lingguang’s depleted Qi Blood seemed to be replenished at this moment, and a healthy flush gradually returned to his face.

GRAA-OOH!

Unfortunately, merging the Turtle Breath Technique and the Circulation Operation Skill was not so easy.

A Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail shattered the silence, and everyone looked at Chu Lingguang in confusion.

“Junior Brother,” Hei Hu reminded him, “Master instructed that your bloodline is severely torn. Your body and spirit both need rest. You can’t rush awakening the Dragon Elephant.”

His words were a critical hit to Xue Bingsheng.

Only then did Xue Bingsheng realize that Chu Lingguang was still recovering from a serious injury, yet he himself had just lost to him more than ten times in a row.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I’ll be careful.”

Chu Lingguang nodded.

He didn’t explain further.

Once again, he used the Circulation Operation Skill to control the Dragon Elephant Power.

His bloodline bulged once more.

His blood boiled throughout his body.

The Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail was weakened again.

But a moment later, the sound erupted from his body again as if it couldn’t be contained, leading the others to mistakenly believe that Chu Lingguang was once again trying to awaken the Dragon Elephant Power in his bloodline.

Faced with his fearless, pain-defying spirit, the others felt a mix of admiration and a desire to keep their distance.

After dinner that evening,

and after drinking two bowls of medicinal tea,

Guo Wei tossed Chu Lingguang a book.

Chu Lingguang saw that it was a simple, yellow-covered book. The words on the cover struck him like a bolt of lightning.

Flying Leaf Lotus Spear.

He opened it and took a look.

Inside, there were not only detailed explanations and training methods for the Flying Leaf Linked Spear, but also numerous illustrated diagrams.

“The Flying Leaf Lotus Spear can only be cultivated once you’ve fully mastered the point of Unity of Man and Gun. This Spear Technique is incredibly powerful, but progress is exceptionally slow. Even I, your master, trained for over twenty years to bring this Spear Technique to the level of Great Success. For now, just look it over when you have time. Don’t be hasty. After you’ve dealt with Samba, I will personally guide you in your training.”
