Chapter 4 The Power of Genesis Runes (1/2)
Great Zhou Mansion, Martial Arts Field.
On the other hand, there were many spectators below the stage. From time to time, a few cheers would erupt, and among them, there were a few young and pretty girls, whose beautiful eyes were looking around, causing the youths on the stage to become even more enthusiastic. Each of them would use their own methods to show off their skills.
In this Great Zhou Mansion, the popularity of the Martial Arts Field was obviously not weak.
When Xu Lin slowly and unhurriedly ascended onto a Martial Arts Stage, the news of him fighting with Zhou Yuan had already spread throughout the entire Martial Arts Field under his secret manipulation.
”What?” His Highness Zhou Yuan wants to fight with Xu Lin?! ”
”How is this possible!?” His Highness Zhou Yuan has not even opened his meridians, but Xu Lin has already opened two! ”
”This Xu Lin is truly bullying others, he must have used some despicable method to force His Highness Zhou Yuan.”
”…”
When the many students heard the news, they immediately let out shocked cries. Some commoner students even started to fight for Zhou Yuan, just that this kind of fight was too unfair.
For Open Meridian People, every time a meridian was opened, the body's quality would increase accordingly, and the strength, speed, reaction rate, and so on would all far surpass those of Close Meridian People. It could be said that one person who had opened a meridian would be able to easily defeat dozens of Open Meridian People s.
Xu Lin stood on the stage, and upon hearing these voices, he smiled faintly. Regardless of what the people around him said, after today, the matter of Zhou Yuan being beaten up by him, will definitely spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Mansion. This will undoubtedly cause a blow to the latter's reputation, and become a joke in the mouths of the people.
As Xu Lin's malicious thoughts were churning, the black mass of people surrounding his stage suddenly split apart, revealing a skinny youth who slowly walked over.
The young man was slightly thin and had a scholarly air to him. He had a gentle and refined temperament, and he looked like a weak scholar.
It was naturally Zhou Yuan.
Under the gazes of everyone around him, Zhou Yuan headed straight for the Martial Arts Stage that Xu Lin was in.
”Your Highness.” Behind him, Su Youwei followed closely with a slightly anxious look on her face. It was obvious that she still wanted Zhou Yuan to give up on the idea of fighting Xu Lin.
”At this time, I cannot retreat, otherwise, I would have become Your Highness who escaped the battle.” Zhou Yuan smiled at Su Youwei.
Su Youwei stopped and bit her lips. She knew that if Zhou Yuan carried this reputation, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.
Su Youwei raised her head and looked at Xu Lin who was on top of the Martial Arts Stage. In that moment, she squinted her eyes, and faintly, there was a sharp look in her eyes.
”Your Highness, I was the one who failed this time and caused trouble for Your Highness. In the future, I will not be careless anymore, and I will not show any mercy.” Su Youwei said softly.
Previously, the reason why she lost to Xu Lin was because she did not attack him viciously. Otherwise, Xu Lin would not even have the chance to use the Origin Weapon.
Zhou Yuan was startled, he blinked his eyes at Su Youwei and said: ”We are friends, it is only natural to solve some troubles for friends.”
With that, he stepped into the Martial Arts Stage.
Su Youwei looked at his back and smiled slightly, warmth flowing out of her heart, but she lowered her eyes, she had already made up her mind, if Xu Lin dared to hurt Zhou Yuan, she would let the latter know what revenge was for the little girl.
”Yo, Your Highness actually dared to come here, I thought you would secretly run back to the palace.” Xu Lin smiled as he looked at Zhou Yuan who was standing in front of him, and teased him.
”It seems that you have a lot of confidence in yourself.” Zhou Yuan said as he gently straightened his sleeves.
”I never thought that even Your Highness would become so angry at her, it's just that she's not very rational.” Xu Lin shrugged his shoulders, obviously treating Zhou Yuan's impulsive actions as just trying to win his favor.
”Let's begin.” However, Zhou Yuan didn't have any intention to waste words with him. Extending his legs, he grabbed onto the ground like an old tree, then waved at Xu Lin: ”I'll let you attack first.”
When these words came out, the surrounding youths and girls of the Martial Arts Stage all looked at each other. They simply could not understand what Zhou Yuan was thinking about.
”Since Your Highness wants to quickly lose face, then I won't be polite.” Being looked down upon by Zhou Yuan in such a way, Xu Lin's heart was filled with rage, he let out a cold laugh, and fiercely stomped his foot on the ground, while his figure shot out like an arrow, his five fingers clenched into a fist, a fist aimed straight at Zhou Yuan.
This punch of his brought with it a current of air and was full of power. Even if it was a rock, a crack would still appear on its surface.
Seeing the incoming punch, Zhou Yuan did not dodge, but folded his arms in front of his body, and maintained a defensive posture.
However, his attitude caused the people below to be unable to bear it. With Xu Lin's physique that had broken through two meridians, this punch would probably break Zhou Yuan's bones.
Under the nervous gazes of many people, Xu Lin seemed like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain. His menacing punch landed heavily on Zhou Yuan's arms without any restraint.
Dong!
A low and deep voice rang out, and then, everyone saw as expected, that Zhou Yuan's feet had directly carved a few meters into the ground with a mark, before he was barely able to stabilize his body.
”Ah!”
A blood-curdling screech rang out.
However, it was not released by Zhou Yuan, but by Xu Lin who had released a ferocious punch earlier.
Everyone watched dumbstruck at the scene, Xu Lin held his fist, and continued to scream miserably, his entire fist was red, as though he had smashed onto fine steel.
”You! What are you hiding in your sleeve?! Despicable! ” Xu Lin was in so much pain that tears almost flowed out as she roared at Zhou Yuan.
The surrounding people also looked at Zhou Yuan in astonishment. Could it be that Your Highness had some tricks up his sleeves?
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Zhou Yuan slowly lifted up his sleeves. Soon after, everyone saw that on his arms, there was actually a complex light pattern which emitted a faint black light. The light pattern spread out and eventually covered both of Zhou Yuan's arms.
