Chapter 226 Zhu Yue (2/2)
Zhou Yuan cupped his fists together. He picked up the Ethereal Form jade strip and left the Hidden Scriptures House, heading towards the rear mountain.
In the rear mountain, he saw several unique buildings where disciples were constantly entering and leaving, an exceptionally bustling sight.
Zhou Yuan followed the directions, eventually arriving before a wide and spacious building. After confirming the instructor’s name at the front door, he walked in.
Behind the doors was an extremely spacious hall where a dozen or so figures were seated in a circle. At their center was a tall man who was currently eloquently giving a lecture.
Zhou Yuan’s entrance interrupted the lecture, causing the dozen listening figure to turn their heads and look.
The moment they saw Zhou Yuan, looks of amusement immediately emerged in their eyes.
Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, because he had just seen a familiar figure amongst them. It was the one who had a quarrel with him due to Han Shan on Genesis Mountain, Zhu Feng.
Gu Hongyi was also seated a few places from Zhu Feng. The corners of her red lips turned slightly downwards when she saw Zhou Yuan enter. As expected, this guy did not listen to her advice.
The instructor seated in the center looked towards Zhou Yuan and nonchalantly asked, “Who are you?”
He had a thin face and a stern expression in his eyes, while powerful Genesis Qi rippled around him.
“Outer mountain disciple, Zhou Yuan.” Zhou Yuan’s expression remained calm as he cupped his fists together towards the man. His gaze swept towards Zhu Feng before turning back to the inner mountain disciple called Zhu Yue.
The two rather resembled each other, making him begin to realise why Gu Hongyi had warned him earlier.
“Zhou Yuan?” Zhu Yue was taken aback, casting a glance at Zhu Feng as the latter nodded with an icy smile. The former had heard an exaggerated description of how arrogant this kid from a remote continent was from Zhu Feng earlier, but he never imagined that Zhou Yuan would actually come here and seek guidance from him.
Zhou Yuan’s expression was still unchanged as he said in a neither overbearing nor servatile tone, “I’ve chosen the Ethereal Form technique, and have come here hoping to listen to the key points with regards to it. Here’s five Genesis jade pieces…”
The inner mountain disciple Zhu Yue swept a nonchalant gaze at Zhou Yuan as contempt faintly rose from the corners of his lips. “No need. The class is already full and we won’t be accepting anyone new for the time being.”
Zhu Feng was his younger brother, and since he had a dispute with Zhou Yuan, Zhu Feng naturally found Zhou Yuan a sore sight.
Zhu Yue’s words caused laughter to sound in the hall. Most of the disciples here were from the Shengzhou Continent, and thus looked towards Zhou Yuan with mocking eyes.
Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, evidently not expecting Zhou Yue to take things so far.
Zhou Yuan slowly said, “Isn’t senior brother Zhu Yue’s actions a little against the rules?”
A full class was clearly an excuse.
“Oh? A mere outer mountain disciples thinks he has the right to talk to me about the rules?!” Zhu Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sneer appearing from the corners of his mouth. In the next moment, powerful Genesis Qi abruptly exploded from his body, forming an overwhelming pressure that loomed towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhu Yue’s strength had at the very least reached the five layer Alpha-Origin stage, far surpassing everyone present.
Hence, when the Genesis Qi pressure surged towards Zhou Yuan, his breathing turned a little ragged.
Roar!
However, just as Zhu Yue was about to force Zhou Yuan into a miserable state, the clothes at his area moved as Tuntun stuck its head out and released a low roar from its throat.
Tuntun leaped out, landing in front of Zhou Yuan as its tiny body began to grow rapidly. In a short span of a few breaths, it turned into its battle form, savagery violently pulsing from it as berserk Genesis Qi began to wreaked havoc with a roar.
Roar!
The entire hall shook as Zhu Yue’s Genesis Qi pressure was instantly ripped to shreds, causing him to forced back several steps by Tuntun’s ferocity as his face paled slightly.
Zhu Yue’s complexion was steely green with fear and anger as he sternly shouted,“You, you dare to use a beast to hurt me?!”
Zhou Yuan swept the former a cold look as he lightly caressed Tuntun’s head. After sweeping a glance at Zhu Yue, its body swiftly began to shrink.
The hall was now a mess, Zhu Feng and the other disciples scurrying to the side as they looked towards Tuntun in uncertainty.
Only Gu Hongyi remained seated. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, “Senior brother Zhu Yue, your rejection is not in line with the rules. It will not be good for you either if the law enforcement group finds out.”
Zhu Yue looked at Gu Hongyi as a smile was revealed on his face. “Since junior sister Hongyi has spoken, I will naturally give face.”
Gu Hongyi’s elder was one of the high ranking members of the Cangxuan Sect, and Zhu Yue naturally did not dare to offend her.
His gaze turnedZhou Yuan as he coldly snorted. “You may stay on account of junior sister Hongyi. However, no bastardly beasts are allowed in my hall, so you’ll have to throw that bastard out before returning.”
However, Zhou Yuan merely glanced at the former coldly and said, “Can’t even beat a beast, what can I learn by staying here? It will only be a waste of Genesis jade.”
Contempt rose from the corners of his mouth, ignoring Zhu Yue’s white with ragecomplexion as he turned around and left with Tuntun in his arms.
Zhu Yue’s eyes darkened as he watched Zhou Yuan leave. Soon after, he let out a chilling chuckle.
“What an ignorant fool… go ahead with your arrogance, do you really think you’ll be able to learn the Ethereal Form technique without my guidance?”
“When you’ve squandered away all of your Genesis jade, you’ll still end up coming back to beg me!”
