Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 171 - 137: The End

The Circulation Operation Skill was the key Skill for activating Dragon Elephant Power. Chu Lingguang had already mastered the Majestic Skin Aspect, and while he could easily circulate his Blood Dragon Elephant with the Day and Night Breathing Technique, successfully activating the Circulation Operation Skill and merging the two would undoubtedly add another layer of enhancement to his use of Dragon Elephant Power.

After all, Emperor Yue Xuan had sent a Wooden Man Target flying nearly ten meters just by activating the Circulation Operation Skill, almost doubling his power. This wasn’t because his Dragon Elephant Power had grown stronger, but because this Operation Method helped him better unleash the power he already possessed.

Both Liu Wan and Li Dayao had said it before.

A single stream of Dragon Elephant Power possessed at least a thousand pounds of Qi Power. Yet when people first awakened it, they could only exert two or three hundred pounds of force because they didn’t know how to control the power.

Chu Lingguang’s awakened Blood Dragon Elephant was comparable to three or four streams of Dragon Elephant Power. If he could activate the Circulation Operation Skill and learn to utilize that power, his combat strength, Qi Power, and even his cultivation level would all undergo a qualitative change.

Even though he wasn’t the sharpest, he could still grasp the stakes involved.

For these last two days, aside from listening to Li Dayao’s and Liu Wan’s instruction, Chu Lingguang locked himself in his room, carefully reading the five and a half pages of insights he had recorded from Emperor Yue Xuan.

After all, he had recorded them himself. Others might not have been able to understand their meaning, but there was no way Chu Lingguang couldn’t comprehend his own notes. Moreover, he had written everything in plain language. Whenever Emperor Yue Xuan used overly literary phrases, Chu Lingguang would ask him to rephrase it more simply before he wrote it down.

Emperor Yue Xuan had even checked them afterward. While he noted the lack of any elegant prose, he found the notes remarkably easy to understand. In fact, reading them gave him new insights, which he had Chu Lingguang record on an additional half-page.

That was why Chu Lingguang treasured these five and a half pages of insights.

Guo Wei had once taught him: listen more, observe more, and speak less. At first, the lessons from Li Dayao and Liu Wan had seemed obscure and difficult. But with the straightforward, detailed explanations in Emperor Yue Xuan’s five and a half pages of insights, Chu Lingguang unconsciously came to a clear understanding of the Circulation Operation Skill.

「The next morning.」

After today, tomorrow would be the last day of practice at the academy. The day after that, everyone would leave the academy together and return to their hometowns to continue their cultivation.

Chu Lingguang checked his panel information.

Favors: None

Chang Chun Pile Skill (0/2000)

Day and Night Breathing Technique (883/3000)

Circulation Operation Skill (2/1000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 111 years)

Chu Lingguang was thrilled to see that the Circulation Operation Skill had appeared on his panel. The value for Perfection was 1000. By relying on Emperor Yue Xuan’s five and a half pages of insights to gradually understand Li Dayao’s lectures, he had gained an epiphany, and the value had increased by two points.

Chu Lingguang suppressed his excitement.

’Something gained through my own understanding just feels different.’ He couldn’t help but activate the Circulation Operation Skill. He finally felt an imperceptible change in the Dragon Elephant Power within his blood. Not only was it easier to control, but the power itself seemed to resonate more closely with his own Qi Power.

However, the Circulation Operation Skill needed to be merged with the Day and Night Breathing Technique to fully unleash the might of the Dragon Elephant Power. Chu Lingguang had only just activated the Circulation Operation Skill; merging it with the Day and Night Breathing Technique would still take some time.

During these last two days, Li Dayao held nothing back in his teaching.

Today, his entire lecture was about what to do after activating the Circulation Operation Skill to merge the two Skills together.

Chu Lingguang listened with rapt attention. Whether he could grasp it or not, he was determined to put all his effort into understanding it.

BOOM!

The lesson ended.

Emperor Yue Xuan punched a Wooden Man Target, sending it flying a full thirteen meters.

"Congratulations, Yue. It seems you’ve already managed to fully merge the Circulation Operation Skill and the Day and Night Breathing Technique."

Hu Yanlin was filled with envy and jealousy.

"Not quite."

Emperor Yue Xuan shook his head.

"Even with my two streams of Dragon Elephant Power, I can’t send the Wooden Man Target flying thirteen meters. Why are you being so modest?"

Chen Jin said resentfully.

’Having awakened two streams of Dragon Elephant Power and mastered the Operation Method ahead of time, his strength should have surpassed Emperor Yue Xuan’s. He never expected Yue Xuan to have a breakthrough as well, his Attack Power once again exceeding his own.’

"I, Emperor Yue Xuan, never beat around the bush. If I had managed to merge the two Skills, why wouldn’t I tell Mr. Li immediately to claim the reward? Wouldn’t that be delightful?"

Emperor Yue Xuan snorted coldly.

"Hmph!"

BOOM!

Hearing this, Chen Jin channeled his two streams of Dragon Elephant Power and punched a nearby Wooden Man Target.

The Wooden Man Target went flying.

The markers on the ground showed a distance of twelve point one meters.

A full one point nine meters shorter than Emperor Yue Xuan’s.

’He had two streams of Dragon Elephant Power, for crying out loud! He had already more than doubled his power, going from five meters to twelve point one. Just last night, he had clearly surpassed Emperor Yue Xuan, but he never imagined that today, Yue Xuan would overtake him again.’

Emperor Yue Xuan knew Chen Jin was trying to bait him into admitting he’d fully merged the Skills. He simply smiled and took two crumpled sheets of paper from within his robes. They were covered in lines of writing, with sentences that were both plain and direct.

"Chu Lingguang, I have you to thank."

Emperor Yue Xuan looked toward Chu Lingguang, who was in a corner. After a day and a night, the lump on his head had disappeared, and he had once again regained the handsome, dashing air of a Noble Family Disciple.

Chu Lingguang froze, his eyes fixed on the papers in Emperor Yue Xuan’s hand. ’Could it be,’ he thought, ’that my insights helped him, too?’
