Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

Chapter 464: Chapter 207: The Jianghu is Treacherous, Infinite Evolution

Guo Wei paused, then said with a smile, "Lin Guang, release your awakened power. Let your master and two senior brothers have a look."

"Yes!"

Chu Lingguang didn’t hold back.

A spectral image of Little Red Horse flashed across his body. It commanded the Wind and Wave Power, and the aura it projected seemed exceptionally strong to Hei Hu and Wang Chao.

Guo Wei looked astonished.

He, too, recognized the horse. It looked exactly like Chu Lingguang’s mount, Little Red Horse.

He could also see that Little Red Horse was somehow able to command the Wind and Wave Power. Despite his vast knowledge and experience, he frowned in thought.

「A moment later.」

His aura flared.

A phantom White Tiger that had been slumbering in his Dantian manifested over his body. Unlike Chu Lingguang, who could only make the spectral Little Red Horse flash for an instant, Guo Wei could sustain the White Tiger’s phantom for a long time. He could even make it seem alive; it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, letting out a heaven-shaking roar.

Chu Lingguang’s eyes went wide.

He sent out a pulse of his Spiritual Sense, carefully taking it all in.

He knew Guo Wei was doing this intentionally, wanting him to experience the White Tiger Power.

Thanks to his powerful Sea of Consciousness, his perception was absolutely top-tier among his peers. Even among True Martial Realm experts, it was considered quite strong.

Chu Lingguang discovered that Guo Wei’s White Tiger Power was a rather pure form of power. Unlike his own Little Red Horse, it wasn’t infused with Potential Power.

The White Tiger in Guo Wei’s Dantian seemed to have evolved step by step within his Dantian, gradually growing to its current state.

Chu Lingguang had a gut feeling. It seemed that if this White Tiger inside Guo Wei continued to grow, it could leave Guo Wei’s body to deliver devastating attacks to his enemies and even unleash its own skills, just like the Tiger King. Of course, the White Tiger in Guo Wei’s body hadn’t reached that level yet.

"Your Sea of Consciousness?"

Guo Wei’s expression changed dramatically.

When Chu Lingguang sent out a Spiritual Sense fluctuation to observe his White Tiger Power, he also revealed his Sea of Consciousness Power, which Guo Wei had not expected at all.

He had already reached the third level of the True Martial Realm, the Life and Death Realm. Even when besieged by the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion’s Black Ghost and Shadow, he had remained undefeated, ultimately killing Shadow all by himself.

And yet, even his Sea of Consciousness Power was not as strong as Chu Lingguang’s.

"Mr. Li and Mr. Liu said I might be able to..."

"Evolve your Elixir Field Power again."

But Guo Wei cut him off before he could finish, deliberately shifting the topic to Elixir Field Power.

Chu Lingguang froze. With his strengthened Sea of Consciousness, he could memorize books at a glance. His mind was incredibly sharp now, and after a moment of Enlightenment, he instantly understood Guo Wei’s intention. He nodded and cleverly played along, "But Master, this disciple doesn’t even understand why the form of Little Red Horse awakened in my Dantian in the first place."

"The awakening of Elixir Field Power takes many forms; not everyone awakens the same kind of strength. The key is to understand how to use that power."

After explaining with a smile, Guo Wei’s face grew stern. "Hei Hu! Wang Chao!" he called out.

"We are here, Master!"

Hei Hu and Wang Chao both straightened up, their faces alight with excitement as they looked at Guo Wei.

Having seen the power awaken within Chu Lingguang’s Dantian, the two senior brothers were filled with envy and jealousy. Now that Guo Wei had suddenly called for them, they were certain he was about to pass on some secret technique related to it.

Like Chu Lingguang, Hei Hu was set to participate in the upcoming Provincial Examination’s martial arts section. He had already sworn a solemn oath to his parents that he would pass, no matter the cost.

As for Wang Chao, he had failed the examination several times in a row. His aptitude was poor, and his potential for growth had already solidified. Although his strength had increased by following Yang Shaorong, he had only awakened a few wisps of Dragon Elephant Power and opened the second level of his Dharma Aspect. Having only recently condensed a Qi Vortex in his abdomen, passing the examination would not be easy for him.

The gap between a Martial Scholar and a Martial Arts Scholar was a massive one. Some Martial Scholars took the examination more than a dozen times, even passing the age limit, without ever succeeding.

Once one’s physical potential solidified, the growth of their Qi Blood would hit a bottleneck, making further breakthroughs incredibly difficult.

It’s best to make a name for yourself early.

The same was true for cultivation.

If their progress suddenly stagnated, preventing them from breaking through one barrier after another with unstoppable momentum as before, their strength could remain at that level for the rest of their lives. Advancing further would become an extremely difficult task, one that even a profound Cultivation Technique might not be able to solve.

That was why Hei Hu and Wang Chao stared at Guo Wei, brimming with eager anticipation.

Guo Wei, however, said sternly, "What I am about to discuss with Lin Guang is not something you should know about at your current stage. Go outside and cultivate. No one is to set foot in this courtyard without my permission."

"Huh?"

Hei Hu and Wang Chao were instantly dumbfounded.

"What are you ’huh’-ing about? Get out now!"

Guo Wei barked.

"Yes, Master!"

Brimming with frustration, Hei Hu and Wang Chao left, their shoulders slumped in dejection.

"Master, why couldn’t I let Wang and the others know about the change in my Sea of Consciousness Power?"

After the two had gone, Chu Lingguang sent out a pulse of his Spiritual Sense. Only when he was sure no one was listening did he ask.

"Wang Chao fools around and can’t keep his mouth shut, and Hei Hu is too impetuous. If either of them let this slip, you could be killed for it."

Guo Wei explained.

"So... you’re worried that Andre will find out I’m the one who killed Batu Mu, Guer Khan, and their men?"

Chu Lingguang asked.

"That’s only one reason. I’m worried that if others learn about your Sea of Consciousness Power, they will stop at nothing to kill you. I’m also afraid you’ll attract the envy and unwanted attention of Noble Family Disciples. Not everyone is like Yan Zhen, who yearns for the appearance of a powerful rival. You haven’t entered the world of politics yet, so you have no conflicts of interest with those friends of yours. But once there are interests at stake, even your eldest senior brother might find his hand forced."
