Chapter 4 The Power of Genesis Runes (2/2)

”This…”

Numerous students were shocked as they gazed at this complicated rune. In the end, some suddenly cried out, ”That is the Metal Skin Rune that the lecturer had taught previously!”

A flash of understanding struck everyone. It was a Genesis Rune!

Su Youwei's tense heart relaxed at this moment. She breathed a sigh of relief as she said, ”So his highness is already able to draw a Genesis Rune on his body.”

Xu Lin came back to his senses as he stared at the black Genesis Runes on Zhou Yuan's arms and said in disbelief, ”You, you actually drew a Genesis Rune on your body?!”

Although Xu lin had seen Zhou Yuan draw a Metal Skin Rune in the lecture hall previously, it had only been drawn on a jade tablet. To draw it on the body, one needed to be proficient in the locations of the acupuncture points and meridian channels of the body. Only then would one be able to prevent the Genesis Rune from harming the body. Hence, drawing a Genesis Rune on the body was far more challenging than drawing it on a jade tablet.

Yet, while they were still unable to draw Genesis Runes on jade tablets, Zhou Yuan had already started to learn and even use it… this gap was not small.

”Did you really believe that I would be powerless just because I have not opened my channels?” said Zhou Yuan with a smile.

Xu Lin's face was steely green, and had a look of anger from being toyed with as he coldly said, ”Do you really believe that you will be able to beat me by relying on a Metal Skin Rune?”

”I'll let you have a good look at the gap between a Channel Opening stage pract.i.tioner and one that has yet to open any channels!”

”Channel open!”

As Xu Lin roared, faint lines of flowing light emerged around his body. The dust under his feet swept outwards as Genesis Qi poured into his body in sync with his breathing.

Huu huu.

Even his clothes started to flutter at this moment.

The surface of his skin began to glow, and everyone could feel Xu Lin's aura rapidly soar at this moment.

The expressions of the many students slightly changed. There was now Genesis Qi flowing within Xu Lin's body. Genesis Qi circulating within his meridian channels would undoubtedly cause his power and speed to rise sharply.

Under the numerous grim gazes of the students, Zhou Yuan stared at Xu Lin as he muttered to himself, ”Opening two channels huh…”

”Since I let you attack first, it is now my turn.”

The instant these words were spoken, Zhou Yuan's foot had already stamped on the ground as his body charged straight at Xu Lin.

”Arrogant. Your speed, power and the innate quality of your body is now not even a tenth of my own. You still dare to attack?” Xu Lin sneered when he saw Zhou Yuan charging towards him.

”Is that so?”

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth seemed to form a smile.

In the next instant, faint light suddenly surfaced at his ankles, and one could vaguely see runes of light spreading on them.

Rustle!

Zhou Yuan's body seemed to become much lighter at this moment, and his speed sharply increased as he pounced forward like a cheetah.

”That is… that is the Light Body Rune!” Someone with good eyesight immediately cried out when he saw the light runes on Zhou Yuan's ankles.

While this cry rang out, Zhou Yuan had already closed in on Xu Lin. With a sudden jerk of the former's shoulder, a faint glow emerged from inside his sleeves. Although it was not clear, everyone could clearly feel that Zhou Yuan's fist was now filled with rampaging power.

”Rampaging Bull Rune!” Another piercing cry was heard. As Zhou Yuan neared Xu Lin, the former's arm suddenly jerked as a faint glow spread from under his clothes. Although it was barely discernible, everyone could clearly feel the rampaging power that filled Zhou Yuan's flying fist.

Metal Skin Rune, Light Body Rune, Rampaging Bull Rune!

At this time, even Su Youwei could not help but cover her tiny mouth while disbelief filled her pretty face. In a short span of several breaths, Zhou Yuan had activated three Genesis Runes in succession.

This also meant that the three Genesis Runes taught by the lecturer had already been mastered by Zhou Yuan and even used on himself.

Bang!

Under both the watching eyes of the crowd and Xu Lin's horrified eyes, a fist containing domineering power had already slammed into Xu Lin's body in an incomparably swift and violent manner.

Dong!

With the aid of these three Genesis Runes, the current Zhou Yuan's speed, power and innate body quality was clearly not inferior to Xu Lin. Hence, when this punch landed, Xu Lin felt a giant surge of force. His body was directly blown away, before smas.h.i.+ng onto the ground outside the practice arena.

The originally noisy surroundings of the platform turned deathly silent at this moment. Numerous youths stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief.

No one could have imagined that the fight would end in such a way.

Atop the platform, Zhou Yuan slowly withdrew his fist. The runes of light on his arms swiftly faded as if they had used up all their power.

He ma.s.saged his wrist, jumped off the platform and fished out a piece of jade from Xu Lin's clothes. It was the partic.i.p.ation token for the newcomer exam.

”Can't even beat a person who has yet to open a single meridian channel. It's best that you miss this year's newcomer exam to avoid losing face.” Zhou Yuan merely smiled in response to Xu Lin's death stare.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Lin once again felt the mocking gazes around him. A miserable feeling filled his heart, and he could not help but vomit a mouthful of fresh blood. The scene before his eyes turned to darkness as he fainted.

He knew that starting tomorrow, he would become the newest laughing stock of the many the Great Zhou Inst.i.tute students...
