Chapter 263: Chapter 163: Making a Killing

One stream was from the Seven Herbs Liquid, the other was the power from Guo Wei.

“Lin Guang, guide your master’s power and refine the Seven Herbs Liquid.”

Guo Wei reminded him.

“Yes.”

Chu Lingguang did as he was told. Under his guidance, Guo Wei’s power completed a Great Cycle through his blood vessels, quickly helping him absorb all the medicinal effects of the Seven Herbs Liquid.

’Good kid. His bloodline is truly extraordinary. No wonder he could last so long against Samba.’

Guo Wei retracted his palm, thinking to himself.

As the power entered Chu Lingguang’s body and, under his direction, completed a Great Cycle through his blood vessels, Guo Wei was able to feel the power within Chu Lingguang’s bloodline. He was both shocked and delighted.

Chu Lingguang slowly opened his eyes.

With the help of the Seven Herbs Liquid and the packet of medicinal powder from Lord Xu, thirty to forty percent of his internal injuries had healed. The rest would require time and nourishment to recover fully.

“Thank you, Lord Feng.”

“Thank you, Master.”

He once again thanked Feng Junyi and Guo Wei.

The more the two looked at him, the more pleased they were, and they waved their hands with a chuckle.

Two lines of text appeared before Chu Lingguang’s eyes again.

(Helped Feng Junyi’s political achievements shine, gaining 1021 Favor Points.)

(Helped Guo Wei make a name for himself and repaid his favor, gaining 2312 Favor Points.)

Chu Lingguang was thrilled. He never expected that this one battle would not only preserve his reputation but even make a name for him, and on top of that, he had gained over ten thousand Favor Points in total.

It was worth swallowing two packets of Heart-Devouring Powder and enduring that heart-wrenching agony.

“Chu, thank you for venting our frustrations for us.”

“The two of us were defeated by Samba in thirty rounds. We’ve endured all sorts of ridicule since then. Now that you’ve defeated him, even killed him, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Emperor Yue Xuan and Chen Jin said one after another.

Although the two had nothing to give Chu Lingguang, their gratitude was sincere. Furthermore, they had traveled a great distance just to share their experience with him and help him defeat Samba.

They had shown him kindness first.

So, after they finished thanking him, two more lines of text appeared before Chu Lingguang’s eyes.

(Helped Emperor Yue Xuan and Chen Jin hold their heads high and repaid their favor, gaining 1221 Favor Points)

(Simultaneously earned the gratitude of the Court, Lord Xu, Feng Junyi, Guo Wei, Emperor Yue Xuan, and Chen Jin, obtaining one volume of the Bloodline Evolution Technique: “Primordial Bloodline”.)

Chu Lingguang’s mind was in turmoil. A Bloodline Evolution Technique, “Primordial Bloodline.” Based on the name alone, it sounded like a world-devouring Cultivation Technique, far more profound than the “Mixed Element Skill.”

Although he didn’t know what kind of Cultivation Technique the “Mixed Element Skill” was, he had a hunch that it was related to Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea.

Guo Wei had already made it clear.

After mastering the Advanced Breathing Method, one had to specialize in an Inner Power Heart Method. The “Mixed Element Skill” was just such a method, inextricably linked to the opening of the Dantian Qi Sea.

But as for the Bloodline Evolution Technique, “Primordial Bloodline,” Chu Lingguang had a vague feeling that the might of his evolved Bloodline Power might be no weaker than that of an expert who had mastered their Dantian Qi Sea.

However, whether “Primordial Bloodline” was more powerful, or if “Mixed Element Skill” was the real game-changer, was something he would only find out after cultivating them in the future.

But there was one thing Chu Lingguang was sure of: he had absolutely hit the jackpot this time.

His Favor Points had surpassed ten thousand.

He had also obtained a Bloodline Evolution Technique like “Primordial Bloodline.” As long as he cultivated it thoroughly, the future potential of his Bloodline Power was immense.

On top of winning this battle, his status was not only secure but was now wreathed in a new layer of glory. Acquiring Favor Points would become even easier in the future, and his cultivation progress would advance by leaps and bounds as his points accumulated.

Chu Lingguang instinctively thought of Yan Zhen.

Before, he felt Yan Zhen was completely out of his league.

A true prodigy, someone even Samba was desperate to avoid.

Now that he had defeated Samba, gained so many Favor Points, and obtained a Bloodline Evolution Technique, Chu Lingguang felt that perhaps, in the near future, he could compete with Yan Zhen.

He would see who the true number one talent of the Qiling Governor’s Mansion was.

Of course, that was all for later. Chu Lingguang didn’t dare reveal his ambitions. While he was accepting everyone’s congratulations and thanks, Yan Chengdu went outside the Martial Arts Hall and released a carrier pigeon he had prepared long ago.

Watching the pigeon fly off into the distance, Yan Chengdu whispered, “Brother, you were right. Chu Lingguang will become your rival. He won. He awakened a three-layered Dharma Aspect and comprehended Double Potential Energy Superposition. I can no longer defeat him.”

FLAP! FLAP!

Liu Qingqing was also releasing a carrier pigeon nearby. She glanced at Yan Chengdu beside her and said, “We should be glad that Chu Lingguang isn’t our enemy.”

“Yes, he’s our friend.”

Yan Chengdu nodded. After spending a month together at the academy, he no longer held any hostility toward Chu Lingguang. Even Yan Zhen merely felt a mutual respect for Chu Lingguang, viewing him as a rival on the path of Martial Arts, not a mortal enemy.

Lian Junmiao, Xue Bingsheng, Emperor Yue Xuan, Chen Jin, and the others then released their own carrier pigeons, immediately informing their families of what had happened in Baiyang County.

Then, they all looked toward Chu Lingguang, who was drinking a medicinal soup. The thought in each of their hearts was the same: Chu Lingguang was their friend, but also their rival on the path of cultivation. They all admired and envied him, wanting to both compete with him and advance alongside him.

Chu Lingguang finished the medicine.

Sensing the gazes of Emperor Yue Xuan and the others, he stood up and bowed deeply to the group—a silent thanks from the bottom of his heart.
