Chapter 247 Nine Dragons Canon (1/2)

The curtains had finally closed on the Genesis technique match. However, the resultant excitement bathed the entire outer mountains for the subsequent few days.

After this feat, Zhou Yuan's name was now well known in the outer mountains.

Although many disciples had heard of him at the very beginning, the impression they had was one of mockery and disdain towards him, merely a.s.suming he was a first cla.s.s disciple that had taken the back door in.

Now however, there was no longer contempt in one's tone when one talked about Zhou Yuan, because that contempt had been replaced by admiration.

After all, not just anyone could achieve the feat of winning an inner mountain disciple in a Genesis technique match...

After that day, there were busibodies that began to dispute the outer mountain disciple rankings. All of them felt that Zhou Yuan's strength would be able to enter the top five.

The reason why he was not ranked higher was because the Ethereal Form technique highly specialized in speed, while his cultivation was only at the first layer Alpha-Origin. If he were to fight against the higher ranked outer mountain disciples, everyone felt that Zhou Yuan may not be able to win.

On the other hand, if Zhou Yuan had faced and won Zhu Yue in a real battle, it was likely that no one would object even if he was ranked first amongst the outer mountain disciples...

Even so, Zhou Yuan was now already an existence that could not be ignored in the outer mountains.

...

Hidden Scriptures Pavillion, a certain rear mountain lecture hall.

Since Zhu Yue had already been sent back to the inner mountain, the lecture hall he originally used was now empty. Hence, elder Zong Ming allocated the hall to Zhou Yuan, giving him permission to teach disciples here.

The lecture hall was currently almost bursting with people.

Zhou Yuan sat at the center, the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand. Its snow-white hairs spread, wrapping around the wrist of every disciple. The numerous disciples present wore respectful and solemn looks on their faces.

Although there were many people inside, it was peaceful and silent.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were closed, his senses reaching out through the brush hairs as the Spirit between his brows twinkled.

Ever since Zhou Yuan's Spirit had reached the Corporeal stage, it had become much easier for him to sense the apertures of others, and he no longer felt as exhausted as before.

Likewise, his sensing effectiveness had also grown.

Zhou Yuan's eyes had been shut for a long time. At a certain moment, they suddenly opened as he began directing the Genesis Qi in the many disciples' bodies, sending it charging towards a certain spot in their bodies.

Chch!

A faint noise rang out as joy surfaced on the numerous disciples' faces. Everyone had clearly felt an aperture being unblocked in their bodies.

A wave of happiness washed over the lecture hall.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand. ”Today's session shall end here. All of you should polish and complete your newly unblocked apertures after leaving.”

The numerous disciples rose upon hearing this, respectfully cupping their hands together at Zhou Yuan, before leaving one after another with excited expressions.

Zhou Yuan stretched his back, easing the tension between his bones. Giving guidance every day was a dry and boring task, and he definitely would not do it if not for the Genesis jade.

Most importantly, it was cutting into his own training time. Hence why he had yet to complete the 14 apertures he had unblocked in the match with Zhu Yue.

The disciples scattered, leaving only a single pretty figure behind. It was naturally Gu Hongyi.

She grinned widely as she gazed at Zhou Yuan and said, ”Hey, everyone else has unblocked an aperture today, but there's nothing on my end…”

Zhou Yuan shot a helpless look at her. ”You've already reached the first level, it's only natural that sensing your apertures is more difficult.”

Gu Hongyi had fully completed 36 apertures two days ago, allowing her to reach the first level of the Ethereal Form technique. However, she was clearly unsatisfied with this result, hence wanting to continue onwards to the second level under Zhou Yuan's guidance.

Gu Hongyi pitifully looked towards Zhou Yuan. ”But you promised me.”

”Stop faking it.” Zhou Yuan shook his head in an annoyed manner. Someone like Gu Hongyi was clearly unable to pull off a convincing pitiful act.

Gu Hongyi glared at him, before she placed her hands on her hips and pretended to be fierce. ”Kid, if you dare to break your promise, just wait and see how I'll punish you.”
