Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 235 - 157: Taking Medicine

Guo Wei intentionally revealed the trajectory of his Qi Power for Chu Lingguang to observe.

Continuously strengthening one’s Qi Power as it circulates is a method of advancing in Martial Arts. This process is primarily influenced by three factors: one’s Breathing Technique, Operation Technique, and bloodline strength.

Chu Lingguang had already mastered the advanced Day and Night Breathing Technique and the Circulation Skill. He had also awakened six primary Bloodline Dragon Elephants.

Guo Wei deliberately used the same Breathing Technique and operation method to guide his training, and Chu Lingguang quickly fell in step with his rhythm.

"The Six-Layered Dharma Aspect of Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Qi, and Spirit... each layer has a different resonance node. However, they all resonate with the Dragon Elephant. You’ve already unlocked the Majestic Skin Aspect. Now, with me, make the Dragon Elephant resonate with the surface of your skin. Feel the changes of the Dragon Elephant Power on your skin’s surface, find the special node, and guide it into your flesh. Resonate with it again to unlock the Mortal Form’s Might."

Guo Wei instructed patiently.

"Yes, Master."

Chu Lingguang nodded slightly.

SKREEE-ROAR!

The Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail from Guo Wei’s body sounded as if a great dragon and a Divine Image were coursing through his very bloodline. The sound was not only immense but also soul-shaking. If Chu Lingguang hadn’t also awakened Dragon Elephant Power, and if Guo Wei’s aura hadn’t been directed away from him, Chu Lingguang would never have been able to sit and train face-to-face with him.

Just then, Chu Lingguang saw cracks appear all over the surface of Guo Wei’s skin. He was starting to feel alarmed when the cracks transformed into yellow dragon scales. Beneath the scales, a layer of wrinkled, black patterns emerged.

Dragon Scale Elephant Hide.

Chu Lingguang had never seen anyone manifest the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide with such clarity when unlocking their Majestic Skin Aspect. Guo Wei’s looked as if it were real.

Chu Lingguang could even sense that the patterns on the scales were like real pieces of Scale Armor affixed to Guo Wei’s skin.

On that layer of Scale Armor and elephant hide, Chu Lingguang also saw a current of energy emerging from the gaps between the scales, flowing close to the surface of Guo Wei’s skin.

Until now, Chu Lingguang had only a vague understanding of Dragon Elephant Power. Even with his Introspection ability, and though he could detect the stirrings of Dragon Elephant Power within his bloodline and blood, he could not make that power flow over the surface of his skin like Guo Wei was doing now, where it resembled a layer of flowing water.

He sensed that this water-like power on the surface of Guo Wei’s skin was the very source of the Dragon Elephant. It was its presence that allowed Guo Wei’s Dragon Scale Elephant Hide to become so substantial.

"Focus. Don’t just stare at me."

Guo Wei’s eyes were closed, yet he was aware of Chu Lingguang’s every move.

Only then did Chu Lingguang realize that although he had unlocked the Majestic Skin Aspect, his Dragon Scale Elephant Hide was flickering unstably, like the staticky image on an old television with a bad signal.

He immediately calmed himself. Slowly, the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide appeared like an illusion, clinging to the surface of his skin. Chu Lingguang felt a cool sensation spread across his skin as his Dragon Elephant Power, guided by the Circulation Operation Skill, emerged from his various apertures. He tried to make it flow over his skin’s surface, just as Guo Wei had.

Chu Lingguang found that his Dragon Scale Elephant Hide, now nourished by the Dragon Elephant Power, was much clearer than before. At that moment, the sound of the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide seemed to emanate directly from the surface of his skin.

"When the Skin Aspect reaches its peak, your skin will be covered by a true layer of Dragon Scale Elephant Hide. Its defensive power will be so great that ordinary blades won’t be able to leave a scratch. Only when you can control this manifestation at will—to the point where it reacts automatically—can you be considered to have cultivated the Skin Aspect to Perfection."

Guo Wei continued.

"You’ve awakened a Blood Dragon Elephant, and the bloodlines throughout your body are open. The affinity between your Dragon Elephant and your skin’s surface is far greater than that of an ordinary person, making it easier for you to unlock the Majestic Skin Aspect. However, awakening it unintentionally means you might not have found the resonance node. Now, follow my rhythm and truly feel for the resonance node between your Dragon Elephant and the surface of your skin."

Guo Wei urged.

"Yes, Master!"

Chu Lingguang nodded.

He then followed Guo Wei’s rhythm, forcing a fierce resonance between his Dragon Elephant and the surface of his skin.

He saw the Scale Armor on Guo Wei’s skin begin to flap, piece by piece, as if being opened. The black, patterned layer beneath the scales—the elephant hide—also seemed to have currents of air flowing through its lines, making it look as though black veins were moving across the surface of Guo Wei’s skin.

Powerful waves of the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail surged ceaselessly from the Scale Armor and elephant hide.

Chu Lingguang felt as if he heard an answering call.

He clearly felt the Dragon Scale Elephant Hide illusion on his skin begin to tremble violently. It was like a child lost in a forest who, upon hearing their parents’ call, becomes wildly excited and runs toward the sound.

Chu Lingguang realized that the Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail from Guo Wei was what was guiding his training. He hadn’t expected Guo Wei to have such a technique up his sleeve.

At that moment, Chu Lingguang felt the pores on his skin transform into individual scales. In response to Guo Wei’s call, they opened one by one. The power of his Blood Dragon Elephant and his Bloodline Dragon Elephant surged out from those pores, covering his skin like a shimmering film.

Chu Lingguang had unlocked the Majestic Skin Aspect back at the academy.

The condition for awakening it was finding the resonance node between the Dragon Elephant and the skin. Although Chu Lingguang had awakened it by accident, the fact remained that he must have found his resonance node. Even if he hadn’t understood how it happened, he was still able to quickly activate the Majestic Skin Aspect after the initial awakening.
