Chapter 380: Chapter 190: Divine Abilities (Part 2)

So they didn’t make any rash moves.

As they watched,

A layer of Qi Phase Scale Armor quickly materialized on Chu Lingguang’s body. Although the Silver Moon Wolf’s sharp claws shattered the armor, before they could pierce his flesh, Chu Lingguang’s fist slammed into its chin. As the beast’s body reeled back, Chu Lingguang swung his spear with both hands, once again mustering double the Potential Energy and smashing it down toward the Silver Moon Wolf’s torso.

WHOOSH!

The Silver Moon Wolf twisted its body, once again dodging the fatal blow at the last second.

Still clad in his Qi Phase Scale Armor, Chu Lingguang swiftly switched his Spear Technique. He unleashed the fourth level of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear—Gathering—and directed it at the Silver Moon Wolf.

This level of power represented control. It could seize command of the Silver Moon Wolf’s attacks, causing them to involuntarily strike elsewhere.

His proficiency with the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear had reached the Perfection stage.

Although his mastery of this Spear Technique was far from Guo Wei’s, he could execute all six levels of power. He was simply not yet proficient enough to unleash their true potential.

The Silver Moon Wolf’s expression turned savage as it once again summoned its Wind Blades. But before they could even reach Chu Lingguang, his Spear Technique guided them aside. They slashed into the surrounding sand and against the indestructible iron cage, sending sparks flying.

Chu Lingguang advanced with his Long Spear.

The fifth level of power, Yuan, gathered in his next strike.

Chu Lingguang felt as if all of his power had completely fused with the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear.

BANG!

A distinct tremor echoed in his senses.

The resonance between his flesh and his Spear Technique could release a special ripple, one that ignored all defenses to strike an opponent’s internal organs directly. Chu Lingguang had been trying to perfectly control this power for some time.

Yan Zhen had told him that this ripple was a Divine Ability.

This power, born from the resonance of his flesh and his Spear Technique, was the first Divine Ability he had awakened.

However, this Divine Ability didn’t originate from his bloodline, but from his very flesh. He had asked both Yan Zhen and Guo Wei about the prerequisites for awakening Divine Abilities.

Yan Zhen had said that Bloodline Level was not a strict requirement for awakening a Divine Ability.

Guo Wei had agreed, even stating that a great treasure lay hidden within everyone’s body. The exceptionally talented could unearth these treasures by heeding their body’s internal responses. He had urged Chu Lingguang to follow every one of these responses, promising that his body would reward him greatly for it.

Chu Lingguang took his words to heart.

’I never expected that by unleashing Yuan, the fifth level of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, I’d be able to so clearly perceive the sound of my flesh resonating with the Spear Technique.’

That "BANG" was like the sound of his heart pumping blood into every single vessel. Following that sound, Chu Lingguang not only felt a special ripple emanate from his Spear Technique, but he could even see it take shape. Under his guidance, it formed an invisible blade that plunged straight into the Silver Moon Wolf’s chest.

"AWOOOO!"

The Silver Moon Wolf let out a pained howl. Its lightning-fast Body Technique suddenly felt as if it had been shackled, and its speed dropped dramatically.

At that moment, the power coursing through Chu Lingguang’s body resonated with the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, causing the destructive force of Yuan, the fifth level, to skyrocket.

This time, the Silver Moon Wolf could no longer evade Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique. The spear struck it squarely on the forehead.

CRACK!

The Silver Moon Wolf’s head was driven into the ground.

Blood streamed from the top of its head.

It scrambled back rapidly.

Yuan, the fifth level of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, represented destruction. It could annihilate an enemy’s offense in the most direct manner possible, representing the pinnacle of combining one’s own power with the Spear Technique.

’Who would have thought that through this level of the Spear Technique, I’d find the optimal point to release the resonance between my flesh and the spear.’

Chu Lingguang finally understood how to unleash that power—the one that ignored defenses to strike the internal organs. He could even integrate it into his Spear Technique’s moves, catching his opponent completely off guard.

A sudden understanding dawned in Chu Lingguang’s mind.

’So, Divine Abilities are ripples produced by one’s organs, flesh, bones, or even bloodline. Only by releasing this ripple can the Divine Ability manifest.’

’And this Spear Technique is the key to releasing it.’

Through Yuan, the fifth level of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, Chu Lingguang had fortunately gained the ability to release the ripple from his flesh. This not only gave the ripple greater Attack Power, but also allowed him to integrate it into any Spear Technique. He was no longer limited to just the level of the Thrust, nor would the power be uncontrollable.

The Silver Moon Wolf was both very lucky and very unlucky; it was the first to experience the full power of Chu Lingguang’s completely unleashed Divine Ability.

Not only did its chest feel as if it had been stabbed, but its speed had also plummeted.

Now, having taken another hit—this one empowered by the destructive fifth level of the Spear Technique—the madness in the wolf’s crimson eyes was gone, replaced by overwhelming fear. It retreated again and again until it was backed into a corner. As Chu Lingguang continued to approach, it even began to whimper softly, collapsing to the ground and wagging its tail, begging for mercy.

"Kill that beast!"

"Don’t stop!"

Someone shouted loudly.

These people had bet on Chu Lingguang to win. If he killed the Silver Moon Wolf, their payout would double.

But the Silver Moon Wolf had already lost all its ferocity before him; there was no need for Chu Lingguang to kill it. More importantly, ’This Silver Moon Wolf is a Demon Beast provided by the Kong Family, and a Qi Sea Great Success one at that. It’s not on the same level as a Silver-Horned Pig or a Crimson Flame Tiger. I’ve already achieved a breakthrough thanks to it. If I kill it, even if the Kong Family doesn’t blame me, it will put Mr. Du in a difficult position.’
