Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 232 - 49: Spiritual Power

All in all, seeking external assistance for the competition is a matter of last resort.

"The honor of South City should be earned by the people of South City themselves. If you can stand out in the provincial exams and achieve a top three position, I might make an exception and take you as my disciple, passing on all my profound knowledge to you, helping you find your spiritual power, and become a spiritual strongman."

Ao Dagang declared with determination.

The strong spiritual power seemed to envelop Ling Feng.

"I can’t guarantee I will be in the top three, but I can try my own way. If I don’t achieve it, you can’t blame me."

Ling Feng said softly.

Coast Along is about not competing, not striving; being forced to participate in the provincial exams, he can’t demand himself to get first or third place, can only do his best—if it works, fine; if not, retreat—he would never force himself nor trouble himself.

Winning makes him happy, losing doesn’t make him complain.

No matter how he Coast Along, it should suffice; asking him to just go through the motions is fine, but asking him to swear to definitely get first place and to strive and fight for it relentlessly—Ling Feng can’t do that.

"You think you can become top three just because you want to. As far as I know, among this batch of Martial Dao students, there are not only bloodline inheritors but also disciples of spiritual mentors. It boasts talent aplenty and numerous strong individuals, making it the most fiercely competitive in recent years."

Ao Dagang sneered.

He also didn’t want Ling Feng to become overconfident.

"You have been talking about spiritual power, so when can this power awaken, what level of physical fitness is required, and what about bloodline power—can everyone awaken their bloodline, and what are the criteria for awakening?"

Ling Feng asked.

Asking a few casual questions won’t affect his Coasting Along Value earnings, and similarly, being forced to participate in an event won’t affect his Coasting Along Value earnings.

If he seriously demands himself to achieve good results in the event and uses the time that should have been spent Coast Along on learning and cultivation, that would cause negative impact.

On the contrary, when everyone is working hard on cultivating, yearning for good results, if one maintains the Coast Along mindset and aligns actions with Coast Along demands to achieve unity of body and mind, more Coasting Along Value can be obtained.

"No amount of physical fitness can awaken spiritual power, as its awakening has no relation to physical fitness.

As for bloodline power, it depends on Dharma Aspect accumulation; the stronger the basic Dharma Aspect, the stronger the bloodline. Of course, it also has something to do with whether the family has a bloodline awakener. Generally, if someone in the direct lineage has awakened a bloodline, descendants more or less inherit bloodline power.

The Wu Family is a bloodline inheritor; their ancestors awakened an advanced bloodline, the Divine Bull Bloodline!"

Ao Dagang replied readily.

"So, not everyone can own spiritual power, but bloodline power requires merely establishing basic Dharma Aspect power for successful awakening, right?"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said.

"Theoretically yes, but not absolutely so. Some people have unique constitutions and can awaken bloodline power even without Dharma Aspect power support, but such individuals are extremely rare.

As for spiritual power, it is related to a person’s will, with Mental Telekinesis cultivating thought and spiritual cultivating will—the stronger the will, the stronger the spirit. When the will becomes strong enough, spiritual power can awaken, enabling one to become a spiritual strongman.

This power, compared to Mental Telekinesis, is not inferior; in many instances, its assistance to Dharma Martial Artists far surpasses Mental Telekinesis.

A powerful spirit can not only shatter an enemy’s will, crushing them from within, but also foresee the future, know the unknown, connecting the body with the resonance of heaven and earth to transcend physical limits in power and speed.

The reason I could foresee you playing tricks on me is through telepathy; my spiritual power can connect me with the resonance of heaven and earth.

Though I still can’t foresee the future or know the unknown, it does allow me to predict dangers and integrate with the surrounding environment, achieving the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, forming a domain that lets potential power continuously upgrade and evolve, hence why I am the top in South City and among the top ten in Jiangbei Province!"

Ao Dagang declared with determination.

Through spiritual power, he seemed to resonate with his surroundings, enveloping Ling Feng in his own world, making Ling Feng feel immensely small and instinctively prone to kneeling before him.

Fortunately, Ling Feng harnesses the power of Heart Like Still Water.

At his current level of power, though still unable to resist Ao Dagang’s spiritual force—especially the oppressive feeling of heaven and earth resonance—it somewhat alleviates the pressure in Ling Feng’s heart, preventing him from embarrassing himself by genuinely kneeling before Ao Dagang.

"This kid’s composure is impressive."

Ao Dagang was surprised internally.

He knew only too well how potent his spiritual power was, initially intending to give Ling Feng a shock to make him realize what he missed, yet Ling Feng, while amazed, kept his inner will composed.

For a moment, Ao Dagang seemed to see the scene of Ling Feng awakening spiritual power.

A strong will is the foundation for the birth of spiritual power.

If people become terrified by trivial matters, such individuals’ will is unlikely to be strong, and they stand no chance of awakening spiritual power—even their strongest Dharma Aspect won’t help them resonate with heaven and earth, let alone forming their own domain or even a world.

He has become the top in South City and among Jiangbei Province’s top ten precisely by relying on strong spiritual power and the domain power formed after resonating with heaven and earth, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man.
