Chapter 289: Chapter 170: The First: 6

Not only had Chu Lingguang activated the Great River Operation Method and merged it with the Circulation Operation Skill on the very first day, but at this very moment, he had even found the point of compatibility with the Day and Night Breathing Technique and the Chang Chun Pile Skill. He was now attempting to awaken the Dragon Elephant Power within his branch meridians.

ROAR! BELLOW!

The deafening Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail masked the peculiar vibrational frequency. Chu Lingguang’s feet sank into the floorboards as the Dragon Elephant was awakened first in a branch meridian near his Yinqiao Meridian.

Next, the Dragon Elephant was awakened in a branch meridian near the Du Meridian.

Then, the Dragon Elephant was likewise awakened in a branch meridian near the Yangqiao Meridian.

Through Introspection, Chu Lingguang saw six of his branch meridians swelling, as if streams of Dragon Elephants were about to break free from within.

The human body has eight main meridians.

And countless branch meridians.

While using Introspection, aside from witnessing the intense reaction in those six branch meridians, an intuition surfaced in his consciousness. It was as if he could hear all the meridians in his body cheering. It seemed every cleared meridian was awaiting his summons, each one concealing streams of Dragon Elephant Power.

’Just imagine, if a person awakened the Dragon Elephant Power in all the meridians throughout their body, how powerful would they become? Even without Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea, their Attack Power could probably match an expert at the Great Success Level of the Qi Sea Realm, right?’

Chu Lingguang had no definitive answer.

He didn’t dwell on it for now. His only thought was to seize this opportunity and awaken the six Branch Dragon Elephants.

“He… he did it.”

“Not only did he do it, he awakened a Branch Dragon Elephant.”

“Quick, go tell the Commandery Princess.”

The maidservant with D-grade Talent said in a panic, then quickly left, running toward Zhao Rushuang’s room.

“He actually found the point of compatibility between the Pile Skill and the Breathing Technique, merging the Operation Techniques together,” Jin Huang said, his voice trembling.

“And he successfully awakened a Branch Dragon Elephant,” Sima Army added.

“Impossible. Even Yan Zhen couldn’t merge two Operation Techniques on the first day, let alone find a compatible point with a Pile Skill and a Breathing Technique!”

Fatty Qin’s eyes were vacant.

’Chu Lingguang’s talent is so outstanding. There’s no telling how far he’ll go in the future. If I had just been friendlier with him, I could have exchanged some insights with him in a bit. Maybe then I could also quickly merge the two Operation Techniques and find the point of compatibility with the Pile Skill and Breathing Technique, and in turn, awaken even more Branch Dragon Elephants.’

’That’s the true meaning and value of forming a team. It seems I’ve missed out on all of it.’

“Commandery Princess! It’s terrible! Chu Lingguang, he…”

The maidservant with D-grade Talent was named Wu Xiaolian. She ran all the way to the door of Zhao Rushuang’s room. With her cultivation level, such a short distance shouldn’t have left her out of breath, but she was so agitated that her words came out in an incoherent jumble.

“Is he injured?” Zhao Rushuang asked.

“No, he’s not injured. He… he succeeded with the merger.”

Wu Xiaolian took a deep breath, struggling to calm herself down.

“He succeeded?”

Zhao Rushuang looked astonished.

’As a Commandery Princess, I grew up with abundant resources and the guidance of Royal Martial Artists. I encountered the Great River Operation Method long ago. I know that activating this Operation Technique isn’t difficult.’

’But activating it according to the Trial Ground’s cultivation method involves many hurdles, especially when it comes to merging it with other Operation Methods. There are numerous barriers to break through.’

’But that’s precisely why the strengthening effect on one’s Dragon Elephant, Qi Blood Power, and even Flesh and Blood Power reaches its peak once the merger is successful.’

’That’s why even someone like me, despite having seen the Great River Operation Method before entering the Trial Ground, never dared to activate it using outside cultivation methods.’

However, she couldn’t merge the Great River Operation Method with the Circulation Operation Skill on the first day like Chu Lingguang had.

When she had returned to her room to continue cultivating, she had only managed to get the two Operation Techniques to entangle with each other. A true merger was still a long way off.

But as someone of noble birth, she was well-versed and had seen much. People with Chu Lingguang’s level of talent could be found in her Prince’s Mansion. Realizing this, she said with some displeasure, “So he succeeded with the merger. What are you getting so flustered about? If you don’t change that impetuous nature of yours, you might really be swept out the door when the ten days are up.”

“Not only did he succeed with the merger, he also…”

Wu Xiaolian wanted to calm herself completely, but she couldn’t manage it in such a short time.

“He also what?”

Zhao Rushuang found it odd.

“After the merger, he found the point of compatibility with the Pile Skill and the Breathing Technique.”

Wu Xiaolian said, controlling her voice. Although she tried to remain as calm as possible, her words still trembled uncontrollably.

“What did you say?”

Zhao Rushuang shot to her feet.

’Activating the Great River Operation Method on the first day isn’t difficult. Merging it with the Circulation Operation Skill… someone in the Prince’s Mansion has done that before. Such talents have appeared in the Trial Ground in the past, and more than one at that.’

’But to make the merged Great River Operation Method compatible with a Pile Skill and a Breathing Technique all within a single day… that’s several times more difficult than merging two different Operation Methods.’

’If merging two Operation Techniques at the start made Chu Lingguang a talent, then finding the point of compatibility with the Pile Skill and Breathing Technique on the same day transforms him from a mere talent into a genius.’

’The difference between the two is self-evident.’

“Commandery Princess, he also… he also… he also…”

Wu Xiaolian felt like she couldn’t breathe.

“Enough of this! He also what?”

Zhao Rushuang snapped.

“Chu Lingguang… he also… he also… awakened a Bloodline Dragon Elephant! It seems like he’s already awakened at least three Branch Dragon Elephants!”

Wu Xiaolian recalled the sound of that new Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail, forcing the words out with all her might.
