Chapter 234 Beating Up a Group (1/2)
Zhu Feng's horrified voice caused disbelief to fill the faces of everyone else present with the exception of Gu Hongyi, making them dumbstruck as they stared at Zhou Yuan.
”How is this possible? It's only been a few days, how can he possibly have mastered the first level of the Ethereal Form technique?!”
”But… etherealisation of the body is clearly only achievable by someone who has mastered the first level!”
”This is the only way to explain how he was able to receive Zhu Feng's attacks with his body.”
”...”
Qiao Xiu and Shen Wanjin were stunned as they looked to each other. The Ethereal Form technique was one of the more popular Genesis techniques in the outer mountains, and had been selected by many disciples. This was because of how amazing it was. Once mastered, it would substantially boost one's overall survivability.
But Qiao Xiu and Shen Wanjin also knew that although many people were learning it, only a handful were able to reach the first level. Mastering the first level in a span of less than ten days was practically unheard of.
In addition, they knew that Zhou Yuan had not received any guidance during this process, everything had been achieved with his own ability...
”Could it be? Gu Hongyi was only able to progress so rapidly in the Ethereal Form technique because she chose to learn under Zhou Yuan?” Qiao Xiu and Shen Wanjin's mouths subconsciously hung slightly open.
Truth be told, they had felt Gu Hongyi's choice of Zhou Yuan over Zhu Yue was way too weird. If they were not well acquainted with Zhou Yuan and knew that Gu Hongyi was not some easily love-struck girl, they would have likely believed that there was something going on between the two...
White and green interlaced on Zhu Feng's face, some horror still lingering in his eyes.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined Zhou Yuan had actually mastered the first level of the Ethereal Form technique...
While Zhu Feng was still lost in shock, Zhou Yuan lightly tapped his chest under everyone's gazes and said in a calm voice, ”I told you earlier that all of you should come at me together, and yet you kept insisting on taking me on alone… since that is so…”
By the time Zhou Yuan's voice faded, his body had already moved.
Half of his body seemed to turn incomporeal as he took a step forward. Faint mist appeared around him as his figure swiftly shot forward like the wind.
”Such speed!”
Zhu Feng's heart s.h.i.+vered. Zhou Yuan was so quick that even he was beginning to see faint after images.
In the face of the current Zhou Yuan, Zhu Feng no longer displayed any of the arrogance from before. His feet rapidly moved as his figure hastily retreated in a rather miserable manner.
However, his speed was far from being able to match Zhou Yuan's.
Zhou Yuan merely took a single step forward and appeared in front of Zhu Feng like a phantom.
No matter how Zhu Feng tried to evade, Zhou Yuan's figure closely followed like a shadow.
”This speed…” Qiao Xiu and Sun Jinglei's expressions changed slightly when they saw this.
”Get lost!” Zhu Feng was scared stiff by Zhou Yuan's phantom like speed. The humiliation and anger in the former's heart reached its peak, and with a howl, berserk Genesis Qi unfurled from his body, das.h.i.+ng in all directions.
Swis.h.!.+
However, Zhou Yuan's figure merely flickered a few times, breaking through the wave of Genesis Qi as purplish gold scales appeared on his hand. A palm strike was swiftly sent forth, instantly piercing Zhu Feng's defences and landing on his chest.
Thud!
Genesis Qi exploded, and Zhu Feng's body was sent catapulting backwards as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.
However, mere moments after his figure was sent flying, Zhou Yuan's somewhat ethereal figure appeared below the former as a kick lashed out along with Genesis Qi.
Thud!
A whip like leg ripped through the air, kicking Zhu Feng in the stomach as he let out a miserably cry and was sent flying once again.
AHhh! AHhh!
The crowd's eyelids twitched as they watched Zhu Feng's body being bounced around in mid-air, unable to land. It was an exceedingly wretched sight.
The mountain was blanketed in silence, everyone speechless as they watched Zhou Yuan effortlessly kick Zhu Feng around like a ball, a sight that caused them to s.h.i.+ver involuntarily.
Especially the disciples that had come with Zhu Feng. They had originally believed Zhou Yuan would be easily crushed, allowing him to understand his place.
But who could have expected… that the three layer Alpha-Origin Zhu Feng would be unable to even touch Zhou Yuan's shadow, and would end up being hit around like a ball.
”What are you guys still standing around for! Go get him together!”
In the air, Zhu Feng, who had been beaten about till he was now somewhat dizzy, lost his composure and howled.
These disciples looked to each other. In the end, they ignored the fact that there were going to gang up on Zhou Yuan and forced themselves forward, surrounding him from all directions.
”I already told you guys to come at me together earlier, but you guys just had to insist on wasting time.” Zhou Yuan chuckled softly when he saw them approach as the mist around him thickened, causing his speed to soar once again.
Swis.h.!.+
He was akin to the shadow of a phantom as he charged into the midst of the dozen or so disciples.
Thud! Thud!
The battle was a completely chaotic mess. Although these disciples were pretty strong, they were unable to even touch the edges of Zhou Yuan's clothes. In contrast, whenever Zhou Yuan's figure dashed past, a fist covered in purplish gold scales along with robust Genesis Qi would slam into their bodies without any trace of politeness.
Each punch moulded itself into the flesh, painting an exceptionally violent picture.
