Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 244 - 159: Reaching Divinity (Part 2)
BOOM!
Inside the Blood-colored World, Chu Lingguang performed the Basic Thirteen Spear Techniques with earth-shattering power. A dragon and an elephant, once illusory, solidified and brandished their claws and fangs in tandem with his Spear Technique.
One move, Lion’s Head Turned Down.
As the Long Spear defended, a massive dragon coiled around the afterimages of the spear. With a swing of the Long Spear, the dragon viciously whipped its tail out.
Another move, The Strange Python Turned Back and Rushed Up the Throat.
The power of the thrusting Long Spear multiplied. His arm seemed to merge with a Divine Image, and under its propulsion, the spear seemed capable of shattering space and time.
This was a beautiful dream.
In his dream, Chu Lingguang grasped the essence of the Spear Technique.
He realized that the node of Unity of Man and Gun could not only draw upon the Potential Energy of the surrounding environment, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to make his Spear Technique skyrocket in power.
It could also, like Lian Junmiao did, draw upon his own power—such as Skillful Force or Dragon Elephant Power. While Dragon Elephant Power was already infused into the Spear Technique, this would make the Dragon Elephant Power increase even further.
Originally, a single Bloodline Dragon Elephant, by channeling his own Potential Energy, would make a single thrust feel as if it possessed the power of two Bloodline Dragon Elephants.
But now, in the Blood-colored World, a casual thrust from Chu Lingguang could not only draw upon the surrounding Potential Energy, but it could also draw upon his Dragon Elephant Power again, causing the Dragon Elephant Power already infused in his Spear Technique to be stacked a second time.
Slowly, the scene of him wielding the spear felt so real that it was as if Chu Lingguang had returned to the physical world. He could not only clearly feel how to draw upon the two sources of Potential Energy and find their point of resonance, but he could also think for himself while executing the Spear Technique.
He had truly achieved a cognitive evolution.
’Lian Junmiao’s node of Unity of Man and Gun is based on his Skillful Force. He can only draw upon his own power, not the surrounding Potential Energy. He probably just can’t find the common node between his own power and the surrounding Potential Energy. But I, without even realizing it, have found my own node, allowing my Spear Technique’s power to stack yet again.’
’During the South City Martial Arts Examination, I fought Yan Chengdu. The Yan Family’s Overlapping Waves Qi Lucking Method has some similarities to my current way of channeling Potential Energy.’
’However, the Yan Family’s Overlapping Waves Qi Lucking Method can only increase a Practitioner’s Qi Power by a small amount.’
’But channeling my own Potential Energy stacks my Dragon Elephant Power, turning one into two. My Blood Dragon Elephant and six main meridian Dragon Elephants are comparable to ten main meridian Dragon Elephants. By relying on this boost from my own Potential Energy, I can make my Dragon Elephant Power reach the equivalent of twenty main meridian Dragon Elephants.’
’If I could not only use my own Dragon Elephant Power, but also stack my Qi Blood and even my Skillful Force on top of it, a single thrust would probably be comparable to thirty measures of Dragon Elephant Power, or maybe even stronger.’
’Master said long ago that cultivation is about mutual integration. I used to think that meant mastering Cultivation Techniques, but now I know. The so-called integration is not just about different powers resonating with each other; it’s about making each power stack upon itself in the space between being integrated and not, a state that allows one to reach the realm of god-like martial prowess!’
’I was able to defeat Xue Bingsheng, Lian Junmiao, Liu Qingqing, and the others with just a set of Basic Spear Skill. It was by using power and stacking that I made the most basic Spear Technique erupt with the most terrifying killing power.’
’Master told me I could only practice the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear after I grasped the node of Unity of Man and Gun and could draw upon the surrounding Potential Energy at will. It seems now that the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear might also be an Advanced Spear Skill that evolved step-by-step from the Basic Spear Skill through the integration of power and techniques.’
As Chu Lingguang thought of this, lines of text appeared before him in the Blood-colored World. Between the lines were accompanying diagrams.
It was the cultivation Skill for the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Ever since Guo Wei gave him the secret manual for the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, Chu Lingguang would always take it out to glance at it whenever he was exhausted from training, or flip through a few pages before bed.
He never expected that he had unconsciously memorized the entire contents of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear’s cultivation method.
He didn’t know if it was because his Spiritual Sense had been unlocked...
...or if it was a Flash of Inspiration in his current state, allowing him to piece together mundane memories and make the contents of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear’s cultivation method appear in the Blood-colored World.
’As I thought.’
’The essence of the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear isn’t just about stacking power; it’s about creating Potential Energy. When Master thrusts his spear, he can knock off eighteen lotus petals. That’s not just about the speed of his Spear Technique, but also a locking power that ensures any thrust he makes, anytime and anywhere, will never deviate. It will strike with perfect accuracy no matter the circumstances.’
’Besides training day and night to form muscle memory, it’s more about borrowing one’s own and external Potential Energy, fusing them into the Spear Technique to make a simple thrust explode with unimaginable power and presence.’
’Senior Brother Yang once said that Master’s Spear Technique is unparalleled in the world. Now it seems Master’s true skill isn’t about how high the level of his Flying Leaf Lotus Spear is. It’s about his ability to continuously fuse and stack different powers within his Spear Technique. Master’s realm has probably long since transcended the concept of Spear Technique levels.’
’In that small tavern, he used a single chopstick to counter Eunuch Liu’s Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers. It looked like a lotus technique, a flurry of dozens, even hundreds of thrusts at once, but in reality, it might have been just a single thrust.’
In the Blood-colored World, the conscious form of Chu Lingguang muttered to himself again and again.
At this moment, his mind was sharp, his senses keen, and his reflexes swift. Things he couldn’t figure out in the real world became clear to him here, as if he had attained enlightenment. He could not only extrapolate from one example to understand many others but could also innovate and create new ideas. He could even review the past from a god-like perspective, gaining delayed insights from his memories as his thoughts moved faster and faster.
