Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

HUMMM!

At that moment, the goatee-bearded elder began to circulate the Great River Operation Method in front of everyone. They had expected a world-shaking roar, but instead, it was a low, rhythmic hum.

The crowd felt as if they could sense the elder’s operational method. It was unclear if this was due to the Learning Palace’s unique layout or the elder’s unfathomable power, which allowed everyone to perceive his technique through sound and keep up with his rhythm.

Chu Lingguang was reminded of yesterday at the Martial Arts Arena.

Yun Hong hadn’t made any physical contact with him, yet from several meters away, he could tell whether Chu Lingguang had grasped the True Meaning of Spear Technique and if there was a Qi Vortex in his abdomen.

’It seems that once one’s strength reaches a certain level,’

’the sensory system evolves to the point where you can gauge a person’s true capabilities through sound waves alone.’

Currently, Chu Lingguang’s own senses had only reached the stage of quick eyes and fast hands. He still had a long way to go to catch up to Yun Hong.

Fortunately, the goatee-bearded elder was actively guiding them.

Following the key points of the technique, the elder’s guidance, and with his Great River Operation Method already at the Perfection level, Chu Lingguang finally got a response after five or six attempts. He was able to use this Operation Technique to successfully control his Dragon Elephant and Qi Blood Power, making them circulate through his blood vessels along the meridian paths shown on the curtain.

Slowly, Chu Lingguang felt power gathering in his palms.

A low Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail, mixed with the roar of his Qi Blood, emanated from his body.

Above, the goatee-bearded elder couldn’t help but look toward Chu Lingguang. He stated reflexively, "Activation is just the first step. Fusion is the most crucial one."

HUMMM!

The hum from within the elder’s body changed, emitting a special frequency. The crowd sensed a new power within him—a power with a higher degree of compatibility with his own Dragon Elephant and Qi Blood. Its appearance immediately caused the Great River Operation Method to fluctuate, even becoming somewhat chaotic.

Then, the two Skills became entangled.

The hum started to become harsh, but slowly, the grating sound weakened. The two Skills seemed to merge, jointly controlling the Dragon Elephant and Qi Blood Power within his body and achieving the optimal strengthening effect for his power.

Sima Army, Jin Huang, and many others nearby watched Chu Lingguang with utter astonishment. The goatee-bearded elder had suddenly quickened his pace to fuse the two Operation Methods, almost as if he were giving a private demonstration just for Chu Lingguang.

Chu Lingguang was oblivious to what the others were thinking. In his perception, it was as if he could only hear the stirrings from the goatee-bearded elder. Though his eyes were closed, he could seemingly see with perfect clarity the two different Skill powers inside the elder’s body—from repelling each other, to entangling, to merging bit by bit, and then forming a completely new power that finally resonated with his own Dragon Elephant and Qi Blood.

This was how the optimal strengthening effect was achieved.

Chu Lingguang couldn’t resist calling upon his Circulation Operation Skill, attempting to fuse the two different Skills together.

He recalled the elder’s words: Operation Methods were ever-changing, but all paths led to the same destination. As long as one could find the point of compatibility between them, they could be fused together.

Both of these Skills were at the Perfection level.

And both had already been activated.

Now, with the elder’s guidance and access to the best explanations of the technique’s key points, Chu Lingguang could quickly find the point of resonance, even if his aptitude wasn’t fully developed, thanks to all these uniquely advantageous conditions.

Just like that, the two Skills went from repelling each other to gradually entangling, and then slowly, bit by bit, they began to merge.

The process was extremely slow.

But Chu Lingguang had no sense of time passing.

He could only hear the sound of the technique circulating from the goatee-bearded elder. That sound was persistent, as if branded into his mind.

Before he knew it, the goatee-bearded elder had already left the Learning Palace.

The students around Chu Lingguang also left one by one. The curtain above was taken down, and soon, only Chu Lingguang remained in the Learning Palace.

In front of him were two meal trays.

Each tray held four pieces of Demon Beast Flesh and Blood, along with other grains, rice, precious vegetables, and fruits.

The goatee-bearded elder had given an order that no one was to disturb Chu Lingguang.

He had simply instructed the men in black to bring Chu Lingguang’s meal trays from the dining hall and place them before him, so that he could eat the moment he emerged from his state of seeking fusion.

"He clearly said he’d never cultivated the Great River Operation Method, but who would’ve thought he’d be the first to activate the Operation Technique."

Jin Huang lamented.

"He wasn’t lying. He probably just saw it and heard someone explain it, same as us."

Sima Army explained.

The two of them stood outside the Learning Palace. Behind them was a group of students who had all come over to check on Chu Lingguang after finishing their meal in the dining hall.

"Not even Yan Zhen could fuse the Great River Operation Method and the Circulation Operation Skill on the first day. Chu Lingguang is getting ahead of himself."

Fatty Qin said indignantly.

Since Chu Lingguang had left his faction, a strong sense of competition now existed between them.

His aptitude was comparable to Sima Army’s.

He too had activated the Great River Operation Method today and had also tried to fuse it with the Circulation Operation Skill. But the repulsive force between them was unbearable. Each time they attempted to entangle and merge the skills, it felt as if two forces were tearing them apart from the inside, forcing them not to rush the process.

But Chu Lingguang seemed able to ignore that pain—or perhaps he didn’t feel it at all. He had remained in a state of fusion the entire time, not even stopping for lunch or dinner.
