Chapter 246 Obtaining Victory (1/2)

Swish!

Every gaze in the area was focused on a single thing. Zhou Yuan fully ethereal figure shot forth like a shadow as a seemingly entire sky’s worth of Genesis Qi knives continuously swept past his body. This time however, the knives seemed to be piercing through mist, unable to amount to much of a hindrance or do any harm to Zhou Yuan.

The second level of the Ethereal Form technique had allowed Zhou Yuan’s body to turn completely ethereal. He was now akin to a bundle of mist, ungraspable and formless.

His speed had also rose to an alarming level. Numerous disciples could only see a blur shoot past, unable to make out Zhou Yuan’s figure.

In the short span of a dozen breaths, the gap between Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue rapidly shrunk.

The activity from behind was also detected by Zhu Yue at this moment. His gaze swept back, only to be scared stuff, horror and disbelief filling his eyes.

“How is this possible?! How can his body fully etherealize?!” Howls of terror and shock rang out in Zhu Yue’s heart.

How could it not know that the full etheralization of the body was a mark of stepping in the second level of the Ethereal Form technique.

Which was to say, Zhou Yuan had already unblocked 72 apertures!

But how could this be?! How long had Zhou Yuan practiced the Ethereal Form technique? Was his talent really at such a monsterous level?

Although Zhu Yue had borrowed the power of the Level Breaker Pill to forcibly raise the level of his Ethereal Form technique, it was for one only temporary, second, it had only allowed him to come very close to the second level of the Ethereal Form technique.

There was still a gap between this and the true second level.

Zhu Yue’s face began to warp and distort, evidently overwhelmed by this information.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must be some kind of trick!” Howled Zhu Yue in his heart. The Genesis Qi in his body quickly began to circulate even faster, pouring all of its power into the Ethereal Form technique as he frantically dashed towards the peak.

The peak was almost within reach, and he had to reach it first at any cost. If not, he would surely become a laughing stock.

Zhu Yue became quicker and quicker, as if squeezing out every ounce of his potential, as he headed straight towards the peak.

When the numerous gazes saw that Zhu Yue was about to reach the peak, their hearts leaped to their throats, clearly very anxious.

“I’m going to win!”

“As long as I reach the peak first, I will have won this match!”

Zhu Yue’s eyes were tightly glued to the rapidly approaching peak. At this current time, nothing else could enter his eyes.

The peak grew closer and closer.

A hundred feet… sixty feet… thirty feet… ten feet...

An almost crazed smile slowly began to emerge from the corners of his lips as the tree at the peak was reflected in his eyes. No matter what happened, he would be able to take everything back as long as he won this match!

So what if you have insane talent? I’m the one who will be winning this match!

However, when he was only a few feet from the peak, he suddenly heard the piercing sound of rushing wind behind him. The corners of his eyes twitched as his gaze swept to his back, causing his entire body to turn cold as he saw a blurry ethereal figure rapidly approach from behind as if riding on a cloud. In the end, the figure brushed past him in a single step.

Their gazes seemed to meet in that very moment.

However, Zhu Yue’s was filled with terror, while Zhou Yuan’s remained chilly, not even the slightest ripple to be seen.

“NOOO!”

A cry of misery erupted from Zhu Yue’s mouth.

But Zhou Yuan’s ethereal figure had already taken the next step, reaching the peak of the majestic verdant mountain as countless gasps and cries sounded.
