Chapter 75 The Eighth Meridian Channel (1/2)

In the inn.

After what had happened previously, everyone's expression had become a little grave. They understood that the collaboration between Qi Manor and Black Venom City would undoubtedly become their biggest obstruction.

Zhou Yuan wore a serious expression as he looked towards Wei Canglan and inquired, ”General Wei, what are you chances of winning against the Black Venom King?”

Wei Canglan hesitated for a moment before he slowly answered, ”There are nine levels to the Alpha-Origin stage and both the Black Venom King and myself are at the second level. Neither of us should be able to gain the upper hand if we go at it for real… but the Black Venom King has the Devil Miasma Qi, a top-tier grade 4 Genesis Qi. It is an overbearing poison Qi that can easily infect an opponent in a fight without him knowing, hence why I suffered at its hands back then.”

”This Devil Miasma Qi is a huge headache.”

Afraid that their morale will suffer, Wei Canglan hastily added in. ”Although I am wary of the Devil Miasma Poison, I will definitely be able to stall the Black Venom King when the time comes.”

Zhou Yaun had a look of complentation on his face. This was no insurance at all. If anything unexpected happened, the situation would become far too unfavorable for them.

After some thought, he suddenly cast his gaze at Yaoyao, smiling as he asked, ”Big sis Yaoyao, could you think of something?”

Yaoyao currently had her head lowered as she studied the black jade list while carrying Tuntun. She lifted her head, showing her pretty face as she glared at Zhou Yuan. ”I just knew that you were going to ask me.”

On the way back, she had felt Zhou Yuan look towards her from to time to time.

However, she also knew that this was a matter of paramount importance. Hence, after glaring at Zhou Yuan, her hand reached towards the Universe bag on her hip and retrieved a green scroll which she then placed on the table. ”This is known as the Thousand Wood Poison Safeguard Rune, a top-tier grade 3 Genesis Rune. When activated, it will be able to guard against all kinds of poisons and the Devil Miasma Poison should be unable to break its defences.”

”A top-tier grade 3 Genesis Rune?” Wei Canglan, Wei Qingqing and the rest stared in amazement at Yaoyao. Was this young lady before them, who did not give off even the slightest Genesis Qi undulation, really have such high mastery in the art of Genesis Runes?

Such a Genesis Rune stood at the pinnacle even in the entire Great Zhou Empire.

Only now did Wei Qingqing realise why Zhou Yuan always insisted on having this seemingly burdensome girl at his side.

”Great! With the aid of this Genesis Rune, the Black Venom King will no longer pose any threat towards me. I will be able to attack without worry and thoroughly suppress him. In fact, I may even find a chance to kill him!” As Wei Canglan grasped the scroll, his face turned slightly red due to intense emotions.

His hatred towards the Black Venom King had long seeped deep into his bones, and he had tried everything he could to eliminate the latter. Unfortunately, his fear of the Devil Miasma Poison had ultimately made him lose out in their previous exchanges.

Now that he had this top-tier grade 3 Genesis Rune, the Thousand Wood Poison Safeguard Rune, the Black Venom King's greatest weapon no longer posed any threat towards him.

Everyone in the room gave a slight sigh of relief after hearing Wei Canglan's confident declaration.

Zhou Yuan also smiled and nodded. ”I'm relieved that general Wei is confident. Since our information gathering is almost complete, we shall move out tomorrow and enter the Battle Puppet Sect ruins.”

No one had any objections.

…

Night fell. The gates of Devil Prison City were tightly shut, while countless Genesis Beast howls resounded in the mountain forests outside the city. Blackwater was even more dangerous at night.

In one of the rooms in the inn, Zhou Yuan was seated on the bed, his eyes tightly shut and his body faintly trembling. The faint roar of a dragon could be heard as Genesis Qi pulsed around his body, transforming into white threads that flowed into his body through his nose.

After meeting Qi Hao and the Black Venom King today, Zhou Yuan now felt a sliver of danger. Although he had the protection of a group of elites, the most dependable thing after all was one's own strength.

Hence, his seven channel strength had began to feel rather lacking in Blackwater. It was time for him to advance to the Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage.

Zhou Yuan's chest rose and fell in cycles as Genesis Qi surged within his meridian channels, continuously attacking the increasingly loosening eighth meridian channel. After these past few days of dogged daily training, he could sense that unblocking the eighth meridian channel was just around the corner…

Genesis Qi continuously surged within the meridian channels inside his body.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan's body violently jerked, activating the Dragon Breath technique as another stream of Genesis Qi was absorbed into his body. Like a wave, it ferociously slammed into the final bit of obstruction in the eighth meridian channel.

Pop!

A faint sound was heard, as if a membrane had been broken.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at his hands. He could feel a feeling of transparency and lightness flood his body.

It was as if he had suddenly broken free of chains and shackles.

The surrounding Genesis Qi voluntarily surged towards his body as the quality of his body swiftly rose.
