Chapter 18 Culture and Martial (1/2)

”Culture and Martial?”

Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered brightly after opening. At this very moment, he finally understood why Cang Yuan had said that the Heavenly Yuan Brush was both a Genesis Weapon and a Genesis Rune Brush.

It was due to this rune known as 'Culture and Martial' that bestowed two different forms to the Heavenly Yuan Brush.

”Martial form!”

Brush in hand, a thought flashed in Zhou Yuan's mind as he softly called out.

Buzz!

Intense light exploded from the Heavenly Yuan Brush. Next, Zhou Yuan's eyes were filled with amazement as he watched the foot-long brush in his hand suddenly start to grow.

In the short span of several breaths, a roughly five foot long thick black brush appeared in Zhou Yuan's hand. This black brush was almost as tall as Zhou Yuan and its mottled body faintly flickered in a glossy manner.

In particular, the soft snow-white hairs that were originally at the tip of the brush were now tightly packed together and flickered with cold light. At a glance, it seemed like the sharp tip of a spear.

”It's pretty heavy!”

Zhou Yuan gazed upon the rather enormous black brush in his hands. It was not light and even caused his arms to sink a little.

”I should test its power.”

Zhou Yuan left the room and walked into a s.p.a.cious courtyard. With a thought, the Heavenly Yuan Brush shook slightly as the surrounding Genesis Qi rippled and poured into the brush.

A Genesis Weapon was able to absorb Genesis Qi and release tremendous power.

As Genesis Qi poured into it, the brush gradually started to glow. In particular, light seemed to lengthen and shorten indeterminately on the brush tip made from snow-white hairs as if it was a sharp tip of a spear.

Zhou Yuan brandished the brush with both hands as if it was a heavy spear. He had never used such a strange weapon before and naturally appeared rather untrained. However, the force generated by the spear was not weak and was akin to a ferocious tiger as it swung about.

Ch!

The spear suddenly turned and ferociously thrust at a copper cauldron by the side. A clear and crisp sound was immediately heard. One would look over only to find that the tip of the brush had pierced the cauldron and exited from the opposite side.

”Not bad. It's sharp enough.” Zhou Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly when he saw this. This level of sharpness would easily tear apart the body of a two channel pract.i.tioner.

”It should have barely reached the Normal mid tier Genesis Weapon level.”

Zhou Yuan was rather pleased with this outcome. If he continued to nourish it by allowing the Heavenly Yuan Brush to absorb beast spirits, it would likely reach the Black tier pretty soon.

Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself, ”It really is somewhat surprising for a brush to become a weapon. Although it is a brush, it is similar to a spear. I should learn some spear techniques in future.”

His gaze now burned a little hotter as he stared at the Heavenly Yuan Brush. To think that the first rune had already caused such a transformation. Zhou Yuan wondered how formidable the brush would become when all nine ancient runes completely recovered.

Zhou Yuan waved the martial form Genesis Rune Brush until he was satisfied before a thought flashed in his mind. ”Culture form!”

The tall as a human Heavenly Yuan Brush suddenly shrunk till it was a foot long and landed in Zhou Yuan's hand. The brush tip that was previously sharp enough to pierce metal also became soft, its brush hairs gently swaying back and forth.

With a gently flick of his fingertips, the Heavenly Yuan Brush nimble spun a single time in his hand as light emerged from the soft tip of the brush.

This form was called the Genesis Rune Brush and could be used to draw Genesis Runes.

”Such a magical Culture and Martial Genesis Rune.” Zhou Yuan sighed in praise. Genesis Runes that were able to change the form of an object were certainly not ordinary. This 'Culture and Martial' rune was surely very high grade.

”Finally activated the first rune?”

While Zhou Yuan was excitedly changing between the two forms in the courtyard, a somewhat surprised voice was heard. Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw Yaoyao elegantly standing outside the courtyard, while a whimpering Tuntun closely followed at her feet.

”Yea, just a while ago.” Zhou Yuan nodded. The Heavenly Yuan Brush turned into its culture form and landed in his hand as he somewhat eagerly said, ”Big sis Yaoyao, I now have a Genesis Rune Brush. When will you teach me Genesis Runes?”
