Chapter 300 - 172: Coercive Pressure
At that moment.
Chu Lingguang’s blood, every single cell, was cheering, responding, contributing.
Streams of power converged, forming a torrent within his blood vessels.
At that moment.
Chu Lingguang’s countless blood vessels seemed to have awakened their Dragon Elephant Power simultaneously. Every single one expanded, breathed, and even seemed to be performing a cultivation cycle.
At that moment.
The Dragon Elephant Power on Chu Lingguang was no longer divided into Blood Dragon Elephants, main-channel Dragon Elephants, or Branch Dragon Elephants.
There was only a single, complete power that carried Dragon Might Elephant Essence.
This power surged through his entire body, inseparable from his blood and blood vessels. The natural Dragon God’s Suppression and immense elephant essence made Chu Lingguang feel as if he had obtained Dragon Elephant Power in its truest sense.
His body automatically activated its Dharma Aspect.
The three layers of the Dharma Aspect—skin, flesh, and sinew—condensed on their own.
A Dragon Soul coiled around his body, and the feet of a great elephant connected heaven and earth. The stone tiles beneath his feet shattered as a piercing Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail echoed out. It was as if a True Dragon was diving down from the heavens, and the terrifying elephant’s cry sounded like a Divine Image stepping out of Netherworld Hell.
Chu Lingguang closed his eyes, clearly sensing that his own Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail was the only sound left in the world.
Although there was only a single Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail, it had the power of a single masterpiece outshining an entire era, throwing the Dragon Elephant Power of Long Xin, Xia Tianzhong, and Xu Kanghui into disarray.
Their originally endless, undulating roars and wails, which had sounded like a string of firecrackers, now fell completely silent.
It was like kittens meeting a tiger.
Like a Little Demon meeting a Divine King.
They were trembling, their power showing signs of being naturally suppressed. It was as if their heads were being forced down, unable to be raised at all.
Even with their great and endless numbers, in front of this behemoth, no amount of Bloodline Dragon Elephants could do anything. They were powerless to stir up the slightest wave.
AWOOO!
ROAR!
’My own strength might not surpass the three of them,’ Chu Lingguang thought, ’but this innate, natural pressure can prevent Long Xin’s group from unleashing even a fraction of their Dragon Elephant Power’s might.’
It was an unbreakable, primal suppression originating from the bloodline itself!
Subconsciously, Chu Lingguang suddenly realized why all his Dragon Elephants had merged into one. It turned out that the fusion of Dragon Elephants was the original form of Dragon Elephant Power.
It was a sublimation of power.
And more than that, it was a method of evolution for his blood and bloodline.
His ability to achieve this was no coincidence. It was the result of his Primordial Bloodline’s value exceeding seven thousand. Both the Primordial Bloodline and the Sunrise Bloodline were Evolutionary Techniques for one’s bloodline.
Relying on his Primordial Bloodline, along with the Perfection of his Operation Technique and multi-directional Cultivation Technique values, Chu Lingguang had finally managed to merge all the Dragon Elephants in his body into one, creating the phenomenon of a True Dragon manifesting and a Divine Image entering the mortal world.
He had finally obtained the purest form of Dragon Elephant Power.
With his Thoughts Reaching Far and Wide, Chu Lingguang understood the critical point.
A look of exhilaration on his face, he lowered his outstretched arms, his eyes instinctively sweeping over everyone present.
The first thing he saw were the astonished, pleasantly surprised, and simultaneously excited gazes and expressions of the goat-bearded old man, Teacher Yun Hong, Poisonous Snake, and the other teachers in the Trial Ground.
The goat-bearded elder, Xu Zhongguo, stroked his beard incessantly, growing more and more satisfied the longer he looked at Chu Lingguang. On Chu Lingguang’s report card, he wrote two words: Number One.
It was obvious.
Successfully fusing all of one’s Dragon Elephants into a single power that carried a Dragon Elephant’s true pressure—this was the ultimate path for Dragon Elephant Power.
The number of Dragon Elephants might determine the magnitude of one’s power.
But in the face of true Dragon Elephant Power, not only would they be suppressed and unable to exert their might, but when the two powers clashed, they might even show signs of being swallowed.
One was a quantitative change, the other a qualitative one.
Whether in terms of tier or destructive force, the two couldn’t be compared.
Neither Yun Hong nor the goat-bearded elder had ever expected Chu Lingguang to successfully fuse his Blood Dragon Elephants and Bloodline Dragon Elephants, forming a true Dragon Elephant Power.
Just by the shock of its pressure alone, it caused the dozens, even hundreds, of Long Xin’s trio’s Dragon Elephant Powers to tremble and even become inoperable.
That sudden burst of natural pressure had caught Long Xin’s group completely off guard. Both Xia Tianzhong’s and Xu Kanghui’s Dragon Elephant operations had descended into chaos.
It was like three kittens strolling through an alley who turn a corner and see a fierce tiger walking toward them. Despite their numerical advantage, they were scared into scattering in an instant.
At that moment, the three of them were stunned speechless.
They felt completely humiliated before Chu Lingguang. All their advantages and prestige were stripped bare by his single Dragon Elephant Power, their true colors exposed.
It was as if they had been stripped naked and forced to stand before the crowd. This feeling of utter worthlessness caused their hearts to twist.
They were ashamed, furious, and filled with incomparable resentment.
The more they tried to calmly face Chu Lingguang, the more they couldn’t forget that feeling of suppression. To be utterly disdained by a Lower-class Youth, to be powerless to resist, and to even feel fear—it was a feeling none of them could let go of.
It wasn’t that they were being arrogant.
Or petty.
It was simply that the might produced by Chu Lingguang’s eruption of Dragon Elephant Power had made them experience a different kind of defeat.
This sense of defeat was like a commoner being crushed by a nobleman, leaving them completely unable to fight back.
But in reality.
Chu Lingguang was the Lower-class Youth.
They were the pampered, high-and-mighty nobles. How could they possibly ever forget this?
That natural, imposing pressure was even more damaging than if Chu Lingguang had defeated them with a punch.
