Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 221 - 153: Great Disaster

Guo Wei declared resoundingly.

Chu Lingguang suddenly realized that the human body only has eight major meridians. Even if Samba had awakened thirteen manifestations of Dragon Elephant Power, the other five must have originated from his branch meridians.

’I have a Blood Dragon Elephant and five main meridian Dragon Elephants. If I can learn to use them properly, I might actually stand a chance against Samba.’

’Of course, the prerequisite is unleashing the full power of these Dragon Elephants, and the Circulation Operation Skill and Pile Skill are the key. Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Spirit—the six layers of the Dharma Aspect. Each layer is like another mountain to climb. Perhaps I can find an alternative path forward through this.’

"In the coming days, I will teach you how to use the Circulation Operation Skill to bring out the full extent of your Dragon Elephant Power. Ideally, I can even help you unlock your Mortal Form’s Might," Guo Wei said.

"Okay, I’ll do as you say, Master."

Chu Lingguang knew this was the best option for now. If he couldn’t win in terms of quantity, he would have to rely on quality to turn the tables.

"Rest for today. You can resume your cultivation tomorrow. Over the next two days, I will prepare some medicinal meals to help your body recover," Guo Wei instructed.

"Thank you, Master."

Chu Lingguang was filled with gratitude.

"Master, wait."

Just as Guo Wei was about to open the door and leave, Chu Lingguang suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to him. He then reached under the mat on his bed and took out the Skin Shaft that Mr. Liu had given him.

"Master, I helped Mr. Liu reunite with his daughter. To show his gratitude, he gave me this. It records a Cultivation Technique. I’ve read it several times and I feel it has something to do with the Dantian Qi Sea. I don’t really understand it, so I wanted to give it to you," Chu Lingguang explained, presenting it with both hands.

"Oh?"

Guo Wei was taken completely by surprise.

He quickly took it, unrolled it, and examined its contents.

The text on it was clearly laid out. As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Guo Wei could tell at a glance just how extraordinary this Cultivation Technique was. Startled, he hurriedly rolled the Scroll shut.

"Where is Mr. Liu now?" Guo Wei asked.

"He’s probably teaching at the private school. He lives just outside Zhang Family Gully."

From Guo Wei’s reaction, Chu Lingguang realized the contents of the Skin Shaft were likely far more astonishing than he had imagined.

"Have you shown this to anyone else?" Guo Wei inquired.

"No."

Chu Lingguang shook his head.

"My dear apprentice, I truly don’t know what to say."

Guo Wei sat down, his expression shifting between excitement and worry. Sensing that something was wrong, Chu Lingguang couldn’t help but ask, "Master, what exactly is that Cultivation Technique? Why are you reacting like this?"

"This is a supreme Inner Power Heart Method. After you establish your Dantian Qi Sea, you’ll need to transition to cultivating an Inner Power Heart Method. This particular one can expand your Dantian Qi Sea to a boundless degree, truly making it like an ocean that accepts a hundred rivers. A single, casual palm strike from you would possess earth-shattering destructive power," Guo Wei explained.

"It’s that powerful?"

Chu Lingguang was astonished.

Guo Wei gestured for him to calm down.

"Then why do you look so panicked, Master?" Chu Lingguang asked again.

"It belongs to the Imperial Family. Anyone outside the Royal Family and Nobility who cultivates it will be executed without mercy if discovered!" Guo Wei said, his voice lowered to a whisper.

"This..."

Chu Lingguang felt as if he’d been struck by lightning.

"Then this..."

Chu Lingguang felt the Skin Shaft had become a hot potato in his hands.

"How could a supreme Inner Power Heart Method end up in the hands of a private school teacher? Don’t breathe a word of this to anyone. I’m going to pay Mr. Liu a visit."

After Guo Wei left, Chu Lingguang used Introspection to check his Abdominal Vortex. He was surprised to find that the vortex was a great deal thicker than it had been when he first awakened it.

’Oh no, this couldn’t be because of that Inner Power Heart Method, could it!’ Chu Lingguang thought with a surge of worry.

He even began to suspect that awakening three Bloodline Dragon Elephants at once yesterday was related to having read that Inner Power Heart Method.

’Don’t scare yourself,’ Chu Lingguang told himself, trying to calm his nerves. ’I only looked at it for one night. I don’t even know how to cultivate it. Awakening three manifestations of Dragon Elephant Power couldn’t possibly have anything to do with that Inner Power Heart Method.’

’My aptitude is poor,’ Chu Lingguang thought again. ’Even if I memorized that Inner Power Heart Method until I knew it by heart, I wouldn’t be able to learn it without guidance. Someone like me is doomed to a life of mediocrity, destined to be ignored in the endless sea of humanity.’

"Chu Lingguang, you’re a monster! How could you awaken three manifestations of Dragon Elephant Power at once?"

"And he awakened a Blood Dragon Elephant."

"His circulation is completely open, too?"

"No wonder Samba is after him!"

Suddenly, he heard the muttering voices of Xue Bingsheng, Yuan Zeng, Lian Junmiao, and Hu Yong from outside the door.

Chu Lingguang’s expression soured. Their intense focus on him wasn’t necessarily a good thing. ’If they manage to uncover any clues... that would be very bad.’

’It seems I’ll have to be more low-key from now on. I absolutely cannot let anyone make a connection between me and some supreme Inner Power Heart Method of the Imperial Family.’

However, Hei Hu’s next sentence made Chu Lingguang want to burst out of the room and plant his fist right in Hei Hu’s face.

Hei Hu, who had just managed to awaken a single manifestation of Dragon Elephant Power himself, heard Xue Bingsheng and the others praising Chu Lingguang. With an air of great magnanimity, he declared, "My junior brother, Chu Lingguang, has the makings of a great emperor!"

’Senior Brother, are you trying to get me killed?!’ Chu Lingguang wanted to cry but had no tears. His face was terrifyingly dark. ’Where in the world did Hei Hu learn such reckless words? How dare he say I have the makings of a great emperor in front of Noble Family Disciples, powerful aristocrats, and Royal Family and Relatives? Does he think I have a death wish?!’

"Great talents can emerge from humble beginnings. Perhaps Chu Lingguang truly has that kind of aptitude," Lian Junmiao said, nodding seriously after a moment of thought.

"Even if he’s the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, I’ll still compete with him for the top spot," Xue Bingsheng declared.

"Let’s get back to training!"
