Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 176 - 138: Struck Down (3)

’In all my time cultivating, I’ve only fought about ten people.’

’I need to be extra wary of a Spear Technique with this kind of inherent power.’

WHOOSH!

With this thought, Chu Lingguang’s Long Spear danced, drawing on the Potential Energy around him. He harnessed a swirling gust of wind to counter Pan Tongguang’s Continuous Sweep Spear Technique.

The resonance from the Unity of Man and Gun tapped into the surrounding Potential Energy, multiplying his power. Pan Tongguang’s offensive momentum was stopped cold. As he watched his opponent’s continuous sweeping strikes, Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique transformed once more; the Borrowing Power Method from the Continuous Slash Saber Technique was now integrated into his spear work.

Chu Lingguang had already fully mastered this Force Application Method.

Now, by combining it with the resonance of Unity of Man and Gun and empowering it with the surrounding Potential Energy, the Attack Power of his every thrust skyrocketed.

Pan Tongguang, whose offensive had just been thwarted, suddenly found himself on the back foot. ’This kid’s good!’ he thought, forced to deploy his Dragon Elephant Power to withstand Chu Lingguang’s onslaught.

CLANG!

Chu Lingguang pressed his advantage, relentlessly unleashing the Thirteen Forms of Spear Technique in a single, fluid sequence. Empowered by Borrowing Strength and the surrounding Potential Energy, each strike was stronger than the last. When his Lightning Spear finally slammed into Pan Tongguang’s Iron Spear, Pan Tongguang felt the web of his thumb go numb. His Iron Spear vibrated so violently it almost flew from his grasp.

Fortunately, he managed to resist the impact by surging his Dragon Elephant Power.

He kept a firm grip on his Iron Spear.

From his seat, Yang Shaorong smiled with gratification. Though Chu Lingguang wasn’t the first to push back a member of the Imperial Guard, his execution of the Spear Technique was flawless. By using the Unity of Man and Gun and the Borrowing Power Method, all while his energy flowed with the Hundred Rivers Operation, he could fight Pan Tongguang on even footing.

’If he had also awakened the Dragon Elephant Power,’ Yang Shaorong mused, ’he wouldn’t just last fifty rounds. Pan Tongguang might even need to team up with others to take him down.’

For Chu Lingguang to have achieved this much was already far beyond Yang Shaorong’s expectations. It was more than enough for him to give a satisfactory report to Guo Wei.

"RAAAGH!"

Pan Tongguang bellowed, pouring Dragon Elephant Power into his Iron Spear. He executed the Sweeping Thousand Soldiers technique, aiming a sweep at Chu Lingguang’s midsection. Chu Lingguang countered with Lion’s Low Guard, trying to block the attack, but as their spears clashed, he felt Pan Tongguang unleash an exceptionally dense and powerful surge of Dragon Elephant Power.

The force of the blow sent him sliding back four or five steps.

’He’s also mastered the Dragon Elephant Operation Skill,’ Chu Lingguang realized in shock.

"HAH!"

Pan Tongguang gave Chu Lingguang no time to process.

Having gained the upper hand with that strike, he immediately swept at Chu Lingguang again.

Empowered by the Dragon Elephant Power, that unique, imposing aura now formed a visible wave of energy around the Long Spear. There were no flashy techniques—just a single sweep possessed the overwhelming force of a tidal wave.

Chu Lingguang felt like a stone statue caught in a torrent, facing a colossal wave about to smash down and wash him away.

He thrust his Long Spear forward.

As his Spear Technique twisted, it was as if he had pierced the very heart of the wave. Like a great dragon thrashing within, his spear churned the immense force to pieces. With a great SPLASH, the wave exploded into countless droplets, turning from a singular tsunami into a torrential downpour.

BANG!

Pan Tongguang’s Long Spear was ripped from his grasp.

As if struck by some unknown force, it flew across the room and embedded itself in the wall of the Martial Arts Arena, its shaft quivering violently.

Everyone in the stands stared at the young man in the arena. From deep within his body, they heard a powerful Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail.
