Chu Lingguang was sent back to his room.
Competition in the Trial Ground was brutal, and results were all that mattered. Chu Lingguang had stunned everyone today. Not only had he fused the Great River Operation thod and the Circulation Operation Skill, but he had also found the point of synergy between the Pile Skill and the Breathing Technique, successfully awakening his Bloodline Dragon Elephant.
With the help of the goatee-bearded old man and Yun Hong, he had awakened eleven Branch Dragon Elephants at once. Having fallen into a coma, he was now receiving the best possible treatnt.
Not only did Yun Hong have Chu Lingguang sent back to rest, but he also assigned soone to watch over him and prepared a dicinal bath for him to soak in.
The dicinal bath from the Trial Ground was far more potent and valuable than the ones Guo Wei and Feng Zhiwen had prepared.
As Chu Lingguang, comatose and adrift in the Blood-colored World, was lowered into the dicinal bath, his pores and flesh began to actively absorb the dicinal power. He could clearly feel the Blood-colored World becoming more solid and real.
’Where am I...’
’Is this the Sea of Consciousness?’
’I’m back in here again.’
The last ti he took the Heart-Devouring Powder, the agony of his flesh and blood separating had sent Chu Lingguang into this Blood-colored World.
Now he had entered it again.
Chu Lingguang saw countless fissures crisscrossing the blood-red land. Each one looked incredibly fresh, as if it had just appeared.
Earlier, when Yun Hong had tested whether Chu Lingguang had grasped the True aning of Spear Technique, he concluded that it was rely Chu Lingguang’s flesh and blood resonating with his Spear Technique. This created a special sound wave capable of damaging an enemy’s bloodline and internal organs.
Standing on this blood-red land and looking at the countless fresh fissures, Chu Lingguang couldn’t help but wonder, ’Did forcefully fusing the two Operation Techniques and activating the Bloodline Dragon Elephant cause my flesh and blood to separate again?’
’Was I only able to endure it because I’ve experienced this pain before?’
’A body full of Blood Dragon Elephants.’
’Eight main channel Dragon Elephants.’
’Eleven Branch Dragon Elephants.’
’Third-layer Dharma Aspect.’
’Entry Level Qi Sea Realm!’
’It seems I’ve beco quite strong.’
’No, this is nowhere near enough.’
’I have to keep getting stronger, keep growing.’
*HUFF!*
In the Blood-colored World, Chu Lingguang once again circulated the Great River Operation thod, combining it with the Pile Skill and the Day and Night Breathing Technique. The ridians on the surface of his body flickered in and out of sight.
Soaking in the dicinal bath, the pores all over his body opened automatically. Every piece of his flesh was like a whirlpool, greedily absorbing the power from the bath.
"Hm?"
A Black Armored Warrior, clad head to toe in black armor, was standing guard over Chu Lingguang. He heard the roar of Dragon Elephants from within Chu Lingguang’s body and even saw ripples forming in the dicinal water of the wooden tub. The water’s color was also gradually, almost imperceptibly, fading.
"What a maniac. He must have trained until he lost his mind!"
The Black Armored Warrior mused.
People like Chu Lingguang, whose bodies could still instinctively cultivate while unconscious, were usually martial arts fanatics who didn’t care about their own lives.
It was a case of too much of a good thing.
Although competition in the Trial Ground was harsh, this kind of behavior was not encouraged.
Fortunately, this reaction only lasted for a short while. After all, he was unconscious, and his every move in the Blood-colored World stemd from his conscious will.
While he could initially stimulate the Dragon Elephants, the resulting fluctuations couldn’t be sustained for long.
However, in the Blood-colored World, Chu Lingguang’s mind and senses were at their peak. At this mont, he couldn’t guide the Dragon Elephant Power throughout his body. He couldn’t make his Dragon Elephant Power and Qi Blood Power circulate according to the Great River Operation thod, nor could he synchronize them with the Chang Chun Pile Skill and the Day and Night Breathing Technique. But, he could use his astonishing sensory system to bring his consciousness and bloodline infinitely close.
Back at the Learning Palace, he had felt his bloodline stirring restlessly within him.
With the help of Yun Hong and the goatee-bearded old man, he had managed to awaken an additional five Branch Dragon Elephants before collapsing from exhaustion.
Now, in the Blood-colored World, although Chu Lingguang couldn’t awaken more Branch Dragon Elephants, his consciousness and bloodline were infinitely close. He could clearly hear their calls, and the fluctuations he felt were even more intense than what he had seen during Introspection.
Chu Lingguang was forming a pact of sorts with them.
He would awaken them the very mont his consciousness regained control of his body.
An unknown amount of ti passed.
Chu Lingguang felt countless branch channels in his body calling out to him. So of these channels were as fine as a strand of hair, yet they produced a tangible response, summoning him.
Within the Blood-colored World, as the blood-red land and sky gradually healed, blood vessels began to appear. Eventually, these vessels ford a complete and detailed three-dinsional map of his ridians.
Chu Lingguang looked at the ridian map.
No matter where he touched, he could imdiately see the blood vessels next to his fingers tremble under his touch, even trying to adhere to them.
Ti flew by.
In the blink of an eye, eight days had passed in the outside world.
The Trial Ground had a strict hierarchy and held an assessnt every ten days.
Chu Lingguang’s results had been dazzling, earning him three days of soaking in dicinal baths. On the fourth day, he was moved to a bed. Fortunately, no one disturbed him, though soone would periodically check on his condition.
After eight consecutive days in a coma, even the goatee-bearded old man and Yun Hong found it strange. They both suspected that Chu Lingguang’s spirit might have suffered irreversible damage.
This morning, Yun Hong made a special trip to check on Chu Lingguang.
He could hear Chu Lingguang’s heartbeat and breathing, but other than that, he couldn’t detect anything else unusual.
