Chapter 443: Chapter 201: Unity of Heaven and Man, Biding Time for Revenge
"You’re the one who saved me. I should be the one thanking you."
Ge Jinxiong said with a smile.
And so, Chu Lingguang rode in Ge Jinxiong’s luxurious carriage to the Ge Mansion.
Soon after, Ge Jinxiong had someone bring out his prized spearhead and gave it to Chu Lingguang.
Chu Lingguang saw the spearhead resting in a brocade box, protected by a film of oil. The spearhead was pale gold and weighed over thirty jin. He tapped it with his finger and realized its material was extraordinary, not something polished from common iron.
"The spear you’re holding has a small amount of Profound Iron in it. This spearhead, however, was forged from a single, solid piece of Profound Iron. It’s the perfect fit for your spear."
Ge Jinxiong helped Chu Lingguang detach the old spearhead and mount the Profound Iron Spearhead in its place.
"A Profound Iron Spearhead?"
Chu Lingguang suddenly felt this gift of thanks was extremely valuable.
"Give it a try."
Ge Jinxiong tossed the Long Spear to Chu Lingguang.
The main hall of the Ge Family residence was over ten meters in both length and width. Catching the Long Spear, Chu Lingguang couldn’t help but perform the Basic Thirteen Spear Techniques.
The new spearhead was several times heavier than the original, but Chu Lingguang felt no strain as he wielded the Long Spear. In fact, with the added weight, the power of his swings soared. The roar from his Formed Spear Technique was simply deafening.
Although it consumed more Qi Power, the Profound Iron Spearhead was indestructible. In combat, it could easily pierce through the six-layered Dharma Aspect and Qi Power Gang Shield of an expert at the same level.
It would drastically increase Chu Lingguang’s combat prowess.
"Elder Ge, with your Profound Iron Spearhead, my Nine-foot Tyrant Spear is like a tiger that’s grown wings. It finally has the presence an Overlord Spear should," Chu Lingguang said sincerely.
"I’m glad you like it. It has finally found a worthy owner."
Ge Jinxiong was filled with emotion. He never expected this Profound Iron Spearhead would end up in Chu Lingguang’s hands.
Ge Jinxiong had been injured during his fight with Batu Tieshan and needed to recuperate. At the same time, Chu Lingguang had to head back, unable to stay out for too long.
After a simple meal at the Ge Family’s home, Chu Lingguang bid farewell to Ge Jinxiong.
「On the way back.」
Two lines of text appeared before his eyes.
(Blocked one punch from Batu Tieshan for Ge Jinxiong. Received 3561 Favor Points.)
(Simultaneously received the gratitude of Qu Qingcheng and Ge Jinxiong. Obtained one volume of the "Celestial Master Technique".)
’Elder Ge might have a foul temper, but he knows how to repay a favor far better than Qu Qingcheng. I only blocked one punch for him and got over three thousand Favor Points in return. That’s so much better than what I got from Qu Qingcheng. Batu Tieshan’s final punch was powerful, but it wouldn’t have actually killed Elder Ge. If he had blocked it with his elbow, he would have ended up with a crippled arm at worst. But the man took it to heart. He gave me a Profound Iron Spearhead and I even received over three thousand Favor Points. In contrast, when I helped Qu Qingcheng drive off the Turkic people, he only gave me 5,000 in silver notes and I got just over a thousand Favor Points. He should know that if the Shuiyu Gang had lost their waters in South City and their shipyard had gone under, their losses would have been far more than five thousand taels of silver.’
’But people are all different, I suppose.’
Chu Lingguang was long used to such things.
He checked his status panel.
Favors: 4882
Mixed Element Skill (0/10000)
Consciousness Sea Power Basic Cultivation Method (14128/15000)
Celestial Master Technique (0/6000)
(Remaining Lifespan: 173 years)
Without hesitation, Chu Lingguang first raised the Consciousness Sea Power Basic Cultivation Method to Perfection, then spent his remaining Favor Points on the Celestial Master Technique.
The status panel changed.
Favors: None
Mixed Element Skill (0/10000)
Consciousness Sea Power Basic Cultivation Method (15000/15000)
Celestial Master Technique (4010/6000)
(Remaining Lifespan: 175 years)
’What kind of Cultivation Technique is this Celestial Master Technique?’
Chu Lingguang was curious about the Cultivation Technique the system had rewarded him with. It had been automatically added to his panel and already had over four thousand points invested, but he still needed to activate it to understand what it was.
Fortunately, with his current aptitude, activating it wouldn’t be difficult.
He could figure it out once he got back and had time to study it properly.
’Guer Khan’s Sword Technique actually contained two types of Potential Energy: one of speed, and one of light. If my Spiritual Sense hadn’t been strong enough, my perception so sharp, and if I hadn’t awakened Spear Intent, I would have fallen to him today.
’It seems I can’t neglect the cultivation of my Sea of Consciousness Power. Now that it has reached Perfection, I need to see if I can trigger another transformation in it. I’ve also mastered Potential Energy, but I only have the single Wind and Wave Power.
’Without my ability to combine Wind and Wave Power, Primitive Power, and Qi Sea Power into a triple Potential Energy Superposition—supported by my Spear Intent and Flesh and Blood Divine Abilities—I would be much weaker. At my current cultivation level, against another Qi Sea Perfection expert who had also awakened Primitive Power and a six-layered Dharma Aspect, I’d be an even match for Master Ge at best.
’Master once said that cultivation is a process of mutual fusion and awakening.
’I’ve now become a Qi Sea Perfection expert. I need to try awakening a power from my Dantian. My master awakened the White Tiger Power, Yan awakened a blade, and Mr. Mo Shan awakened a bloody hand. I wonder what kind of ability I’ll awaken?
’There are only two months left until the Provincial Martial Arts Examination.
’I wonder if I’ll be able to stand before Yan.’
He realized he had many things to do and much power to gain. He needed to be like Guer Khan, mastering more forms of Potential Power, and even fusing multiple forms together.
’If Guer Khan could fuse his speed and light, his sword strike would not only be fast but would also obscure vision to the point that even Spiritual Sense couldn’t track it. I’m afraid that even if I could release a Spear Intent Fluctuation, I would only be able to block it for a moment. In the ensuing fight, I would have been defeated, or even killed, by him.’
