Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 179 - 139: Divine Manifestation (Part 3)

’This month of training has been fruitful. I won’t disappoint Guo Wei.’

So, as he once again faced a pincer attack from two Imperial Guard experts, Chu Lingguang was completely relaxed. He only hoped he could learn something from them.

From his earlier fight with Pan Tongguang and the other man, he had witnessed the Imperial Guard’s Spear Technique, which carried its own innate majesty. The other fellow, the one with the saber, had a Saber Technique that possessed that same quality. Chu Lingguang had a gut feeling that the reason Pan Tongguang and that man could imbue their Spear Technique and Saber Technique with such majesty was perhaps related to a special Operation Technique they cultivated. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He’d taken a quick glance moments ago and discovered that every member of the Imperial Guard seemed capable of invoking that majesty at will. He refused to believe that all of them had mastered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

’If every one of them is this powerful and yet they’re only Imperial Guards, then how deep must the foundations of the Great Yuan Dynasty be? What kind of beings would the experts of the Imperial Family be?’

Chu Lingguang didn’t dream of ruling the world, but he did hope that the power he had earned through arduous training would be enough to secure a foothold in the Great Yuan Dynasty. If he always felt like he was under a dark, oppressive cloud, unable to break through to see the light, his spirit would become utterly suppressed. And what good would a longer lifespan be then?

’You need the strength to enjoy it.’

Fortunately, the thought of the Great Yuan Dynasty as an insurmountable sky suffocating all masters of Martial Arts lasted only for an instant.

Chu Lingguang’s composure was not shaken.

He didn’t care how strong the Great Yuan Dynasty was. ’As long as I can see the peak,’ he thought, ’I’ll surpass it one day.’

"Go!"

The situation on the battlefield didn’t stand still.

The five Imperial Guard members all agreed that Chu Lingguang was the strongest opponent. After dispatching two to handle him, the battle immediately continued. These two Imperial Guard experts were both proficient with dual sabers. They attacked from his left and right in a pincer movement, four blades blanketing Chu Lingguang.

BOOM!

Chu Lingguang stood his ground, ready for them. Even if he didn’t expect to last until the very end, he wanted to use every last bit of his strength to see just how long he could hold out.

His Basic Spear Skill erupted in a continuous flurry.

He used his full strength from the very first move.

Harnessing the surrounding Potential Energy and combining it with his Power Transfer Method, Chu Lingguang tried to crush one of them first. He couldn’t let himself be forced into a passive defense. Otherwise, attacked from front and back by four sabers at once, even with his Perfect Techniques, he would be overwhelmed.

Only by using his Qi Power to seriously injure one of them in one fell swoop could he turn the tables.

CLANG!

The two Imperial Guard experts saw through Chu Lingguang’s objective instantly. The one targeted by his Spear Technique retreated continuously, trying to shake off the attack and avoid getting entangled with him.

Meanwhile, the other guard slashed repeatedly with his dual sabers, which spun into a giant wheel of blades. Backed by their innate majesty, it was as if countless saber shadows were materializing behind Chu Lingguang.

He had no choice but to swing his spear to block, allowing the first man to break free from his Spear Technique. At that very moment, the freed man launched a counterattack.

AWOOO!

Chu Lingguang had no other option. He could only draw upon his Circulation Power Method, causing the power of his Blood Dragon Elephant to skyrocket.

BOOM!

He swept his spear back, like a stampeding army making an abrupt turn. The Imperial Guard expert behind him felt that his countless saber shadows were now useless. He swiftly brought his dual sabers down on Chu Lingguang’s long spear.

BANG!

The Blood Dragon Elephant was comparable to three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants. Empowered by the Circulation Operation Skill, the man clashed head-on with Chu Lingguang. Although he didn’t lose his grip on his sabers, he was sent flying backward. After his feet hit the ground, he skidded back another two or three meters.

HISS!

The onlooking Imperial Guard members sucked in a cold breath.

Chu Lingguang’s backward sweep hadn’t been charged up in advance. He had simply mustered his full body’s strength in the instant he turned. They never expected he could send one of their own flying with a single blow.

"The Circulation Operation Skill... he’s activated it," Liu Wan said excitedly.

"This guy always saves his most stunning moves for last," Li Dayao chimed in.

As Chu Lingguang used his Circulation Operation Skill to channel the power of his Blood Dragon Elephant, the sound of the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail became crystal clear to Yan Zhen, whose senses were fully evolved.

"Blood Dragon Elephant! Hahaha!" he laughed heartily. "So the one who ’stirs the wind’ is Lord Yang’s junior martial brother!"

And if even Yan Zhen could tell, how could Yang Shaorong not know? It was just that even he hadn’t expected the Dragon Elephant Power Chu Lingguang had awakened to be the Blood Dragon Elephant.

But then he recalled that a prerequisite for awakening the Blood Dragon Elephant was to have one’s entire circulatory system opened up. He inwardly cursed himself, ’My thinking wasn’t bold enough! Otherwise, I might have guessed long ago that the ’one who stirs the wind’ was Chu Lingguang. I spent all those days worrying for nothing, afraid he wouldn’t even make it to the final round.’

"The Blood Dragon Elephant... so he’s the one we were looking for," Eunuch Liu murmured, completely taken by surprise.

"Eunuch, my son is not bad either," Yue Yuanshan said hurriedly.

Feeling as though he’d been deceived, Eunuch Liu spoke bluntly, "A single Blood Dragon Elephant is comparable to three or four Bloodline Dragon Elephants. Your son is far inferior to him."

Yue Yuanshan’s expression froze.

Fan Zhibian, who was beside them, almost burst out laughing. But then he saw Feng Junyi’s eyes shining, his expression ecstatic. He realized that Chu Lingguang was the talent Feng Junyi had unearthed from South City. Fan Zhibian himself had previously tried to recruit Chu Lingguang, only to be flatly rejected. In the future, once Chu Lingguang grew powerful, he would be in the same camp as Feng Junyi. Fearful that he would be targeted, the smile on Fan Zhibian’s face gradually stiffened.

He could only say, "Eunuch Liu, Mr. Yue, the match isn’t over yet. It’s still uncertain who the ’one who stirs the wind’ is. However, I have always been very optimistic about Emperor Yue Xuan."

Fan Zhibian’s reasoning was simple.

Since he had offended Chu Lingguang and couldn’t pull him into his own camp, he absolutely could not afford to miss out on Emperor Yue Xuan.

"Lord Fan, you have a discerning eye! My son has always been outstanding, he would never—"

Yue Yuanshan found the sound of Fan Zhibian’s voice incredibly pleasant. He was deeply moved and was just about to offer a few words of thanks.

Suddenly.

AROOO!

A terrifying sound, a Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail, erupted from the center of the fight.

And there...

Chu Lingguang, attacked from both front and back, was forced into a dangerous position.

Four long sabers chopped at him simultaneously, trying to knock the long spear from his hands. At the critical moment, Chu Lingguang let his Blood Dragon Elephant reveal its Majestic Skin Aspect.

The Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail emanating from his body reached its peak at that instant, drowning out all other sounds in the arena. The pupils of everyone in the stands dilated rapidly in sync with the sound coming from within Chu Lingguang.
