Chu Lingguang felt as though he were suffocating.
Awakening a single bloodline granted a asure of Dragon Elephant Power.
Emperor Yue Xuan’s growth in Qi Power was plain for all to see. He’d gained over two hundred pounds of strength the mont he awakened it, and once he mastered the technique, he would possess the Qi Power of a thousand pounds.
He stood head and shoulders above the other examinees.
And yet, every bloodline in his own body was responding.
Eight major ridians, plus countless minor ones. How much Dragon Elephant Power did that even amount to?
Chu Lingguang didn’t dare to imagine it.
This happiness had co so suddenly, and it felt so unreal, that he felt like he was living in a dream. The suffocating sensation didn’t fade until his mind finally cleared.
He circulated his Qi again.
His once-lethargic bloodlines tensed up again. In an instant, all the major and minor ridians answered his call. That distinct feeling of being answered returned, as clear as ever.
Chu Lingguang was certain this was no illusion.
There were countless ways for a bloodline to respond.
He just didn’t know if this tensing and relaxing counted as a response.
A thought suddenly occurred to Chu Lingguang.
Whether it was Emperor Yue Xuan or Chen Jin, only their newly cleared bloodline had responded. Since all of his own ridians were already clear, could it be that he had awakened all his bloodlines at once?
’Calm down.’
’Don’t be fooled by this fleeting phenonon.’
’Maybe this is just related to the nurical increase from the Day and Night Breathing Technique.’
’How could one person awaken all their bloodlines at the sa ti? If I could do that, wouldn’t all the so-called geniuses of the world look like useless trash to ?’
’There must be sothing wrong here. I’ll ask Mr. Li later.’
Chu Lingguang cald himself, forcing himself not to get too excited.
Awakening every bloodline in his body at once was just too earth-shattering. How could sothing like that happen to him? Li Dayao had probably never seen such a freakish occurrence either!
After all, one bloodline ant one asure of Dragon Elephant Power.
With eight major ridians and countless minor ones throughout his body, how much Dragon Elephant Power was that? If he truly awakened them all, wouldn’t a single punch make him invincible?
「A short while later.」
After everyone finished breakfast, Li Dayao appeared before them again. Today, six more people from the Central Courtyard who had cleared their ridians ca to the Inner Courtyard to cultivate.
「As ti went on.」
More and more people were clearing their ridians and activating their Breathing Technique.
The number of people in the Inner Courtyard grew daily.
Chen Jin’s breakthrough didn’t seem to surprise Li Dayao much. It was as if Li Dayao had received the news the mont Chen Jin broke through last night. Fortunately, the every move of every examinee in the academy was under the watchful eyes of Li Dayao and the other instructors.
At the slightest whisper of trouble, Li Dayao could imdiately detect it.
"Mr. Li."
When the training session ended, Chu Lingguang sought out Li Dayao.
"Have you experienced any unusual phenona?"
Li Dayao, who had been keeping a close eye on Chu Lingguang, asked this as soon as he saw him.
"Mr. Li, have you ever seen anyone awaken all their bloodlines at once?"
Chu Lingguang asked in return.
"How could you have such an outlandish thought? Chu Lingguang, I’ve told you before, having all your ridians cleared doesn’t give you much of an advantage when it cos to awakening your Bloodline Power. Don’t get ahead of yourself."
Li Dayao said in a grave tone.
He was clearly displeased with Chu Lingguang’s question.
A wave of disappointnt washed over Chu Lingguang. Li Dayao had clearly refuted his idea. It seed the tensing and relaxing of his bloodlines was probably just a normal phenonon. That feeling of tension when his Qi circulated and elation when it relaxed might have just been his imagination running wild.
"I will rember your teachings, sir. I dare not entertain such unrealistic ideas. It’s just that there is one thing I don’t understand, and I was hoping you could enlighten ."
Chu Lingguang humbly accepted the admonishnt, but he still wanted to get a clear answer to stop his mind from racing.
"Speak."
Li Dayao was quite patient with Chu Lingguang.
"I can feel that when my Qi circulates with the Breathing Technique, my bloodlines tense and relax rhythmically. You said that bloodlines respond in very different ways, sir. I was wondering if this rhythmic tensing and relaxing is also a type of response?"
Chu Lingguang asked boldly.
"It is not."
Li Dayao shook his head. He didn’t think Chu Lingguang’s question was foolish, as other examinees had asked it before. He said, "Tensing and relaxing is the autonomous function of your bloodlines; it has nothing to do with a response. There are many kinds of bloodline responses, but the most common are like those of Emperor Yue Xuan and Chen Jin. They respond to you with a distinct sound, letting you know you have obtained Dragon Elephant Power. You then subconsciously learn to control this power, eventually gaining the strength to break a thousand pounds."
"So..."
Chu Lingguang scratched his head.
"There are many kinds of sounds, right? So..."
Chu Lingguang trailed off, worried that he was just overthinking things.
"There are indeed many kinds of sounds, but regardless of the sound, a bloodline awakening is inseparable from the resonance of the blood itself. You must be clear about what you’re hearing. Is it the whistling sound of Qi rushing through your ridians, or is it the blood within your veins responding to you?
There have always been people who mistake the sound of their circulating Qi for a bloodline response. They stray further and further down the wrong path, not only failing to obtain Dragon Elephant Power but also losing their minds in the process, making any future progress in their cultivation impossible.
With all of your ridians clear, a single breath causes a hundred rivers to flow within you. It is easy to be mistaken. You must rember not to confuse the two, lest you lose your mind."
Li Dayao implored him earnestly.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will take it to heart."
Chu Lingguang bowed deeply to Li Dayao. Those few sentences had struck him like a bolt of lightning, leaving him with the feeling of having narrowly escaped a disaster.
"You have a steady temperant and are hardworking and diligent. Even if you can’t activate your Dragon Elephant Power in the short term, just by having all your ridians clear, your Qi Power will grow faster and more fiercely than that of an ordinary person. Do not be dazzled by the glory of others and beco impatient for quick results, thereby ruining your own future."
