Chapter 23 First Sign of the Excellence (2/2)

This thought flashed across Zhou Yuan's mind before he smiled at Su Youwei, whose eyes were filled with worry, and said, ”Don't worry, I'm afraid that a three channel pract.i.tioner is not enough to stop me.”

”I'll be going.”

After speaking, Zhou Yuan waved his hand at Su Youwei and briskly walked towards the practice arena.

Qi Yue watched this scene from the high platform and could not help but grin at Lin Feng and Liu Yi. ”The show is about to start. I hope that our prince will be able to at least last for a while and let us properly enjoy it.”

A gloating look flitted across Lin Feng's and Liu Yi's eyes when they heard this. Both of them also smirked and looked towards the arena.

On the viewing platform to the west, Chu Tianyang frowned slightly when he saw this same scene and helplessly sighed in his heart. With such an opponent, it likely going to be very difficult for Zhou Yuan to achieve victory in his first match.

Under numerous pitying gazes, a calm-looking Zhou Yuan ascended the arena. He looked to his front, only to find a boy in blue fearlessly standing there, a mocking look in the latter's eyes.

Pei Yun had an odd look in his eyes as he smiled and said, ”I really did not imagine that I will meet your highness in the first match. Do forgive me if my blows are too heavy later on.”

”Did Qi Yue set this up?” Asked Zhou Yuan in an emotionless voice.

Pei Yun's eyes widened a little, before he smiled and replied, ”I do not know what your highness is talking about.”

Zhou Yuan adjusted his clothes. ”I'm afraid that things will not end well for the one who volunteered to be the first to test the waters.”

Pei Yun was a little angered and coldly replied, ”It will be better for your highness to think about your own situation. I pray that you will not be humiliated too greatly today.”

While they were talking, a referee sternly cried out, ”Begin!”

Pei Yun's eyes were filled with iciness. Hence, his figure bolted out like a panther the moment the referee's cry rang out, fingers tightly clenched into a powerful punch that was thrown at Zhou Yuan.

He did not hold back at all with regards to this punch. Three channels of power fully poured out, covering the surface of his fist with Genesis Qi and even the sound of wind could be heard due to its momentum.

This was obviously an extremely domineering and powerful punch. Even a three channel pract.i.tioner would not dare to underestimate it.

The crowd around the arena could not help but shake their heads. It was likely that Zhou Yuan would lose when this punch landed.

Under the watching eyes of the crowd, intimidating fist winds pounced at Zhou Yuan's face. He gazed at the rather twisted look on his opponent as his hand suddenly shot out to catch the latter's fist.

”Courting death!” Upon seeing this, Pei Yun's anger transformed into laughter. Could Zhou Yuan have been frightened silly? Pei Yun's punch could shatter even rock and yet Zhou Yuan dared to catch it? Was he not afraid of breaking his arm?

Thump!

A sinister look filled Pei Yun's eyes as he watched his deadly punch heavily smashed into Zhou Yuan's palm, causing a pleased smile to emerge from the corners of the former's lips.

However, this smile immediately turned rigid a split second later.

He had seen that Zhou Yuan's outreached hand had not budged at all. Wild power gushed out from Pei Yun's punch, but it was as all of this power was charging into a black hole. There was no response at all.

”How is this possible?!” A horrified cry sounded in Pei Yun's heart, his expression suddenly changing, as a feeling of unease rose within him.

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth turned into a cold smile as he watched the changing expression on Pei Yun's face. Zhou Yun had already unblocked his second meridian channel, greatly strengthening his body. Even a three channel pract.i.tioner could not compare to him now.

He held Pei Yun's fist and slowly exerted force with a grip as solid as that of an eagle. The growing power caused Pei Yun to feel as if his fist was about to be crushed.

”Three channels open!”

Pei Yun wore a horrified expression as he fiercely gritted his teeth and howled.

The three meridian channels in his body abruptly started to vibrate, pulling in the surrounding Genesis Qi. Immediately, a powerful force exploded within his body.

However, just as he was able to free himself from Zhou Yuan's grip, the latter suddenly made his move, or more accurately swung his leg. Powerful kick-wind blew as a foot surrounded by slivers of swirling Genesis Qi was swiftly flung at Pei Yun's chest.

”Scram!”

Thump!

A m.u.f.fled sound was heard as Pei Yun felt an indescribably huge force slam into him. The force was so great that he would not be able to match it even if he use all three meridian channels to take in Genesis Qi.

Thus, his body was sent miserably flying off the arena, before cras.h.i.+ng into the ground as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The surroundings immediately turned silent. Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched this scene.

The exchange between Zhou Yuan and Pei Yun had been too quick. They had only seen Pei Yun charge at Zhou Yuan, and before they could react, the aggressive Pei Yun had been kicked off the stage by Zhou Yuan a millisecond later…

Just how much power was in that kick?!

Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan as if they had seen a ghost. They clearly knew that he had not used any Genesis Runes this time.

Therefore, the kick from earlier was completely Zhou Yuan's own power.

Even a three channel pract.i.tioner could not compare, right?!

Since when had this prince of theirs, whom was said to be unable to find his channels, become so strong?

Su Youwei's hand covered her mouth, while her face filled with disbelief. She had not understood why Zhou Yuan had been so confident before. Only now did she understand… Zhou Yuan had been hiding his power all along!

On the tall platform, the smiles of the trio whom were originally ready to enjoy a good show also turned rigid at this moment as their faces turned white with anger, disbelief and shock.

This turn of events had far exceeded their expectations.
