Chapter 243 Ethereal Form Technique Match on the Green Mountain (2/2)

*Uproar*

The surrounding mountain forests broke out into waves of noise. Amazement in the eyes of numerous outer mountain disciples as they looked towards the elder in gray. The most senior person they had seen since coming to the outer mountains had been Chen Yuan.

They had of course heard that there were two elders in the outer mountains, but the likes of them did not have the qualifications to meet such individuals. Who could have expected one of the elders would voluntarily show himself, and even oversee the match between two disciples.

The elder in gray glanced at Chen Yuan and said in an indifferent voice, “If I still did not appear, you might have forgotten that there’s someone above you.”

Cold sweat appeared on Chen Yuan’s head. His lips moved, but he did not dare to say anything.

Elder Zong Ming did not elaborate in front of the numerous disciples, but merely said, “I shall oversee this match. Do you have any complaints?”

Chen Yuan hurriedly said, “I won’t dare. Having elder oversee the match is naturally the most fair choice.”

His gaze secretly swept towards Zhu Yue below. The latter was also stunned by this turn of events, but his gaze soon flickered for a moment as he regained his cool.

“This kid’s luck is pretty good. To think he even managed to draw out elder Zong Ming…”

Zhu Yue’s eyes were cold. He and Chen Yuan had originally planned for the latter to oversee the match, allowing him to secretly making things difficult for Zhou Yuan such that he would have no chance at all.

However, it seems that these methods could no longer be used.

Even so, Zhu Yue did not really care, because they were only one of his many contingencies.

Zhou Yuan cupped his fists together and asked, “Elder Zong Ming, how will we be competing in this match?”

The other disciples curiously looked over. They too wanted to know what kind of match it would be. After all, the Ethereal Form technique was not like offensive techniques which could be judged based on power.

Zong Ming softly chuckled. “The essence of the Ethereal Form technique lies in two areas, speed and neutralization power.”

Zhou Yuan gave a faint nod. The technique allowed one to etherealize the body, causing one’s speed to rise to a level that ordinary people would find difficult to match. The Ethereal Form technique also gave the ability to neutralize any force that struck the body, making these two aspects the essence of the technique.

“Hence, today’s match will be based on your speed and neutralization power in the ethereal form.

Zong Ming gazed at the majestic green mountain before him as he suddenly took a deep breath before abruptly blowing.

Whooooo!

The breath of Genesis Qi that emerged was akin to the milky way. It swept through the air, completely covering the green mountain. Boundless Genesis Qi whizzed about the mountain like a million astral winds, booing and hissing.

A faint but enormous pressure spread from it.

Everyone watched this scene in shock. A breath of Genesis Qi from the elder could be said to be earth-shaking. Such power was practically immeasurable.

“This mountain has already been enveloped by my Genesis Qi. Once you enter, you will be exposed to my Genesis Qi pressure, making you feel as if you are carrying a mountain on your back. Besides this, the astral winds my Genesis Qi has turned into will attack you. You will be unable to avoid, and can only bear the attacks with your bodies. This will reveal how much power your ethereal form can neutralize.” Zong Ming grinned.

The numerous disciples cried out in shock when they heard this. To reach the peak, the two of them would have to rely on their speed while neutralizing the astral winds. It was a very appropriate test for the Ethereal Form technique.

“How about it, do the two of you feel this is fair?” Zong Ming looked towards Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue.

A serious look appeared on both their faces, but they still nodded in the end.

“Since the two of you have no objections…”

Zong Ming waved his sleeve as two paths opened at the foot of the mountain, before his voice sounded like thunder.

“Let the match begin.”

“Let us see which of you is more adept at the Ethereal Form technique!”
