Chapter 247: Chapter 160: Glory

“Lin Guang, you’re finally awake.”

“Master, I’m fine now.”

“Mm. You need to soak in this medicinal bath for another full day. Your flesh and blood have absorbed a great deal of medicinal power. If you feel up to it, use your Breathing Technique to refine all that power. This will significantly increase your Flesh and Blood Power.”

Guo Wei didn’t let the others go in and disturb Chu Lingguang.

He only let Wang Chao and Hei Hu go in to see Chu Lingguang. After carefully asking about his condition, they closed the door and left.

He didn’t ask if Chu Lingguang had unlocked the second level of his Dharma Aspect.

To Guo Wei, that was no longer important.

It was Chu Lingguang’s destiny to awaken it; if he failed, it was a dereliction of duty on his part as master. Had he sternly warned Feng Zhiwen beforehand, perhaps Chu Lingguang wouldn’t have risked swallowing two packs of Heart-Devouring Powder.

After all, Chu Lingguang had mentioned that Feng Zhiwen had approached him about taking the powder. He had only told Chu Lingguang not to listen to Feng Zhiwen’s nonsense, but hadn’t taken the initiative to talk to Feng Zhiwen himself.

Guo Wei felt extremely guilty about this.

Chu Lingguang soaked in the tub. Now that he was awake, he felt as if tiny creatures in the water were burrowing into his flesh. It was his body absorbing the medicinal power from the water.

After the heart-wrenching agony he had endured, the itching sensation felt incredibly comfortable.

’I was actually unconscious for two whole days and nights.’

’But why do I feel like I’ve been through so much?’

’Was it all just a dream?’

Chu Lingguang couldn’t help but wonder.

Everything he had experienced in the Blood-colored World hadn’t vanished from his memory upon waking up. On the contrary, it was all still vivid.

With a thought, he tried to activate the second level of his Dharma Aspect: the Flesh Aspect.

Instantly, Chu Lingguang felt a power automatically emerge from within his flesh and blood. The moment he clenched his fist, he felt that without even activating his Dragon Elephant Power or channeling his Qi Blood, a single punch with pure Flesh and Blood Power could shatter an earthen wall.

At that moment, faint dragon scales appeared on the surface of his skin. Beneath the scales were black patterns—the Skin Aspect, Dragon Scale Elephant Hide.

’Peak Skin Aspect.’

Chu Lingguang was amazed.

But he felt another power within his flesh and blood, strengthening the Scale Armor on the surface of his skin and deepening the black patterns, causing them to become gradually more wrinkled and distinct.

The next moment, Chu Lingguang found that his flesh and blood had evolved. Not only had they become denser, but his strength and defense had also soared. Most importantly, his control over his Dragon Elephant Power had become extremely sensitive, even without using the Circulation Operation Skill.

He had reached the state of Do as You Please.

Previously, even by relying on a Perfection-level Operation Technique, he could only bring out thirty percent of his Dragon Elephant Power’s might. Now, he could unleash that same thirty percent without even using the Circulation Operation Skill. If he were to use the Circulation Operation Skill at this moment, Chu Lingguang could bring out sixty percent of his Dragon Elephant Power.

Guo Wei, Liu Wan, and Li Dayao had all said it: although the Dragon Elephant in one’s bloodline and blood could be enhanced through an Operation Method after awakening, people often found it difficult to fully unleash the Dragon Elephant Power. Only with the help of an Operation Technique could a portion of the Dragon Elephant Power be brought out.

But now, Chu Lingguang could unleash thirty percent of his Dragon Elephant’s power with a mere thought, without relying on the Circulation Operation Skill. If he combined it with the Circulation Operation Skill, he could unleash sixty percent of its power.

’Such a huge change just from unlocking the Flesh Aspect?’

Chu Lingguang found it incredible.

’Hm… no, that’s not right.’

But just then, he felt something awakening within his flesh and blood. A natural power emanated from his meridians. The Dragon Scale Elephant Hide on the surface of his skin suddenly faded, and a complete diagram of his meridians manifested on his skin. By the time the meridian diagram vanished, the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide had become almost tangible.

At that moment, Chu Lingguang felt his control over the Dragon Elephant Power rise another level.

’The third level of the Dharma Aspect, the Tendon Aspect!’

’It wasn’t a hallucination! I really did unlock the third level of the Dharma Aspect, the Tendon Aspect!’

Chu Lingguang’s face was flushed with excitement.

The two packs of Heart-Devouring Powder had not only allowed him to unlock the second level of his Dharma Aspect, but had also unexpectedly led him to successfully awaken the third. This was completely beyond his expectations.

He suppressed his excitement and carefully replayed the events of the Blood-colored World in his mind. The memories replayed before him, scene by scene, like a movie.

’Dual power superposition… so that’s how it works.’

Chu Lingguang realized that the power of his Spear Technique could be increased by drawing upon the surrounding Potential Energy, and he could also draw upon his own power again, allowing his Attack Power and defensive power to enter a state of double or even triple superposition.

Now, not only could he draw upon the surrounding Wind and Wave Power, but he could also superimpose his own Dragon Elephant Power on top of it, multiplying his strength.

’The Borrowing Strength of the Continuous Slash Saber Technique and the Yan Family’s Overlapping Wave Power Method are both a type of power superposition Skill. But the dual power superposition I’ve comprehended now seems fundamentally different from those two Skills.’

’Dual power superposition is like a Skillful Force technique. Unlike the Continuous Slash Saber Technique, using it doesn’t drain your Qi Power—especially on the fifth slash, which feels like pouring out all your Qi Power at once. Instead, as the power and Potential Energy superimpose, it grows stronger step-by-step. Not only does it not affect my own Qi Power, but it also allows the power of my Spear Technique and Saber Technique to increase linearly.’

’I understand now.’

’The so-called double or triple power superposition, the power that is drawn upon and borrowed, is all just external Potential Energy.’

’The Wind and Wave Power is surrounding Potential Energy.’
