Free Web NovelChapter 415: Chapter 196: Sanctified Manifestation of Spear Intent, Nine Deaths, One Life
Back in the Trial Ground.
The fluctuations Chu Lingguang released from his flesh and blood had led Zhuoyi and Poisonous Snake to mistake it for Spear Intent. It wasn’t until Yun Hong appeared that it was confirmed not to be Spear Intent.
The basis for this judgment was that the fluctuation originated from his flesh and blood, not his Sea of Consciousness.
At that time, Chu Lingguang and many others realized that the key to forming Spear Intent was releasing energy fluctuations from the Sea of Consciousness. So, once he grasped Spiritual Sense and could emit Spiritual Sense Fluctuations, he tried to combine them with his Spear Technique.
But he had never succeeded.
Only now did he realize that the true key to forming Spear Intent was not just releasing power from the Sea of Consciousness. It was also using that power to enhance his Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities and create a resonance with his Long Spear.
The relationship between the three was one of mutual dependence; they were inseparable.
Sea of Consciousness Power could enhance Divine Power. The two forces combined were then unleashed through the Long Spear.
’If I hadn’t already mastered the ability to release my Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities and merge them with my Spear Technique, I never would have been able to—by some fortunate accident—fuse my Sea of Consciousness Power with them. They wouldn’t have resonated with my Spear Technique to form Spear Intent!’
Chu Lingguang reflected with emotion.
Formed Spear Technique was the foundation of the Spear Skill Realm, and the three levels of Skillful Force were about applying external power to the Spear Technique. But Spear Intent was a realm of its own.
WHOOSH!
Chu Lingguang tried to utilize this Spear Intent’s Potential Energy with greater finesse.
The release of his Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities could bypass a target’s defenses and directly strike their internal organs. Now, he could see that the power of Spear Intent greatly enhanced these abilities, to the point where it could even split a physical body in two.
This power was incredibly domineering.
But Chu Lingguang felt his control was lacking. He believed that Spear Intent, like his Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities, should erupt invisibly, catching enemies completely off guard. The thrust he had just executed created a terrifying fluctuation. In combat, such a powerful wave would alert an enemy in advance. Once they were on guard, its effectiveness would be greatly diminished.
BOOM!
A mulberry tree to his left exploded again.
Chu Lingguang observed it precisely.
The power of the Spear Intent burst forth. Unlike the Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities, it couldn’t bypass all defenses to explode from within the mulberry tree. Instead, the fluctuation acted like countless steel claws, gripping the tree and using vibrations to make it burst open from top to bottom. This created a series of explosions, giving the false impression that Spear Intent could, like his Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities, ignore defenses and shatter an enemy’s internal organs and bones.
In reality, it was torn apart by the immense Wave Power through sheer vibration.
He had to admit, the power was incredibly domineering, but also quite gory.
What Chu Lingguang needed to do now was concentrate all this Wave Power into a single point of eruption, preventing it from dispersing over a wide area and losing its true potency.
It was just like when he had first condensed his Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities: concentrate the power for an explosive burst that would land a critical strike on an enemy’s internal organs.
But this could only be achieved one step at a time.
After confirming that his Spear Intent had taken form, Chu Lingguang eagerly made his way to the Martial Arts Hall. freewebnσvel.cøm
"I told you to focus on strengthening your Qi Sea Power, but you’re obsessed with unlocking the third-level Dharma Aspect! I’ve told you so many times, you haven’t been exposed to the Day and Night Breathing Technique, so you can only rely on the Minor Yuan Technique to build your Qi Sea Power. Wait until your Qi Sea is strong enough, then try to unlock your Dharma Aspect. It’ll be twice as effective with half the effort and far easier than it is now. But you stubbornly refuse to listen, rushing to unlock your Dharma Aspect and neglecting your Inner Strength cultivation."
"Get on the bench!"
Chu Lingguang had finally formed his Spear Intent and spent nearly the whole morning practicing in the mountains behind Liu Family Gully. By the time he arrived at the Martial Arts Hall, it was almost time for lunch.
Entering the rear courtyard, he saw Hei Hu getting an absolute earful from Guo Wei.
"Master, I was wrong,"
Hei Hu said with a wronged expression, kneeling on the sandy ground.
"Get down!"
Guo Wei roared.
Hei Hu shot Chu Lingguang a pleading look. Chu Lingguang knew Guo Wei wouldn’t get angry for no reason, especially not to the point of making Hei Hu lie over a bench to be punished. ’He must have made a huge mistake,’ he thought.
Hei Hu didn’t dare to disobey and obediently lay down on the bench.
WHAP!
Guo Wei picked up a leather whip and lashed it viciously across Hei Hu’s backside. Hei Hu bit his own wrist in pain as Guo Wei continued to whip and curse him. "Master Hu, Master Hu, Master Hu! A few people call you ’Master’ and you really think you’re some big shot, don’t you? With an attitude like this, you might as well stay home during the Provincial Martial Arts Examination in three months. At least then you won’t disgrace me!"
WHAP!
"Someone wants to see what a third-level Dharma Aspect looks like, so you foolishly show it off for them? Did you really think that just by unlocking your third-level Dharma Aspect, everyone would treat you like a king?"
WHAP!
"If Wang Chao hadn’t had the same rotten attitude as you, would he have failed the examination three times in a row?"
WHAP!
"I told you long ago, your Dragon Elephant is too weak! The only way for you to stand out is to strengthen and condense your Qi Sea, but you just won’t listen!"
WHAP!
"Ah! Master, stop hitting me! I was wrong!"
Hei Hu wailed loudly.
Chu Lingguang stood nervously at the entrance. He had been Guo Wei’s disciple for over two years, so he was no stranger to the master’s scoldings and beatings. Before his Enlightenment, when his aptitude was still dull, he had also angered Guo Wei enough to be whipped.
However, Chu Lingguang had never done something like this—neglecting his Inner Strength cultivation and obsessing all day over activating his Dharma Aspect just to show off its power to others. That was openly defying Guo Wei.
Both he and Guo Wei knew that Hei Hu loved grandstanding. Ever since passing the exam to become a Martial Scholar, he often went out carousing with his friends. If it weren’t for Guo Wei’s strict discipline and for keeping him by his side, Hei Hu would never have even succeeded in Opening the Dantian and Qi Sea.
