Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered brightly after opening . At this very moment, he finally understood why Cang Yuan had said that the Heavenly Yuan Brush was both a Genesis Weapon and a Genesis Rune Brush .
It was due to this rune known as ‘Culture and Martial’ that bestowed two different forms to the Heavenly Yuan Brush .
“Martial form!”
Brush in hand, a thought flashed in Zhou Yuan’s mind as he softly called out .
Buzz!
Intense light exploded from the Heavenly Yuan Brush . Next, Zhou Yuan’s eyes were filled with amazement as he watched the foot-long brush in his hand suddenly start to grow .
In the short span of several breaths, a roughly five foot long thick black brush appeared in Zhou Yuan’s hand . This black brush was almost as tall as Zhou Yuan and its mottled body faintly flickered in a glossy manner .
In particular, the soft snow-white hairs that were originally at the tip of the brush were now tightly packed together and flickered with cold light . At a glance, it seemed like the sharp tip of a spear .
“It’s pretty heavy!”
Zhou Yuan gazed upon the rather enormous black brush in his hands . It was not light and even caused his arms to sink a little .
“I should test its power . ”
Zhou Yuan left the room and walked into a spacious courtyard . With a thought, the Heavenly Yuan Brush shook slightly as the surrounding Genesis Qi rippled and poured into the brush .
A Genesis Weapon was able to absorb Genesis Qi and release tremendous power .
As Genesis Qi poured into it, the brush gradually started to glow . In particular, light seemed to lengthen and shorten indeterminately on the brush tip made from snow-white hairs as if it was a sharp tip of a spear .
Zhou Yuan brandished the brush with both hands as if it was a heavy spear . He had never used such a strange weapon before and naturally appeared rather untrained . However, the force generated by the spear was not weak and was akin to a ferocious tiger as it swung about .
Ch!
The spear suddenly turned and ferociously thrust at a copper cauldron by the side . A clear and crisp sound was immediately heard . One would look over only to find that the tip of the brush had pierced the cauldron and exited from the opposite side .
“Not bad . It’s sharp enough . ” Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows raised slightly when he saw this . This level of sharpness would easily tear apart the body of a two channel practitioner .
“It should have barely reached the Normal mid tier Genesis Weapon level . ”
Zhou Yuan was rather pleased with this outcome . If he continued to nourish it by allowing the Heavenly Yuan Brush to absorb beast spirits, it would likely reach the Black tier pretty soon .
Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself, “It really is somewhat surprising for a brush to become a weapon . Although it is a brush, it is similar to a spear . I should learn some spear techniques in future . ”
His gaze now burned a little hotter as he stared at the Heavenly Yuan Brush . To think that the first rune had already caused such a transformation . Zhou Yuan wondered how formidable the brush would become when all nine ancient runes completely recovered .
Zhou Yuan waved the martial form Genesis Rune Brush until he was satisfied before a thought flashed in his mind . “Culture form!”
The tall as a human Heavenly Yuan Brush suddenly shrunk till it was a foot long and landed in Zhou Yuan’s hand . The brush tip that was previously sharp enough to pierce metal also became soft, its brush hairs gently swaying back and forth .
With a gently flick of his fingertips, the Heavenly Yuan Brush nimble spun a single time in his hand as light emerged from the soft tip of the brush .
This form was called the Genesis Rune Brush and could be used to draw Genesis Runes .
“Such a magical Culture and Martial Genesis Rune . ” Zhou Yuan sighed in praise . Genesis Runes that were able to change the form of an object were certainly not ordinary . This ‘Culture and Martial’ rune was surely very high grade .
“Finally activated the first rune?”
While Zhou Yuan was excitedly changing between the two forms in the courtyard, a somewhat surprised voice was heard . Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw Yaoyao elegantly standing outside the courtyard, while a whimpering Tuntun closely followed at her feet .
“Yea, just a while ago . ” Zhou Yuan nodded . The Heavenly Yuan Brush turned into its culture form and landed in his hand as he somewhat eagerly said, “Big sis Yaoyao, I now have a Genesis Rune Brush . When will you teach me Genesis Runes?”
Yaoyao’s steps were light as she slowly walked over . She stood before Zhou Yuan as a
snow-white hand was outstretched .
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth turned downwards when he saw this . He had no choice but to instruct a servant girl to bring over a jade bottle . “This is Red Tiger Liquor, an extremely strong alcohol that I stole from father’s secret stash . ”
Yaoyao received the jade bottle and tipped back her head slightly, revealing her slender swan-like neck, as she took a small sip . Her pretty face immediately flushed red as her eyes sparkled . “Not bad, you did not skimp on me . ”
One could tell that she was very satisfied with the liquor Zhou Yuan had found .
Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this . Just as he was about to speak, he felt a tug a his clothes and lowered his head only to find Tuntun biting at his trousers, before it stuck out its tongue and extended a paw .
“You’re the same as your owner!”
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s eyes twitched as his cursed inside . However, he could only instruct a servant girl to bring over a plate of dried Genesis Beast meat and place it at his foot .
Only then did Tuntun release Zhou Yuan, perfectly satisfied as it lay down and gobbled up each piece of meat with a single gulp, its eyes narrowing in pleasure as it enjoyed the delicious dried Genesis Beast meat .
Zhou Yuan squatted and stroked Tuntun’s soft fur as he gave it two forceful strokes . In response to this, Tuntun glanced at the former . It decided not to pay much attention to that disrespectful fellow on the grounds that he had brought it meat .
“Alright, I will teach you grade 1 Genesis Runes today . ”
After a few mouthfuls of Red Tiger Liquor, Yaoyao nodded in contentment before walking into the stone pavilion . Jade tablets for Genesis Rune practice had already been placed on the stone table within .
Yaoyao elegantly stood before the table and shot a glance at Zhou Yuan as she said, “I’ll first write while you watch . ”
With a clench of her hand, a slender green Genesis Rune Brush appeared within it . This Genesis Rune Brush gave off a faint green glow and numerous runes of light seemed to flutter within the glow, making it appear extremely mystical .
Zhou Yuan’s heart was a little moved by this sight . This Genesis Rune Brush of Yaoyao’s was obviously not ordinary .
Yaoyao’s pretty face immediately became serious as she held the brush . A distinct aura spread from her body as the brush tip gently landed on a jade tablet and began to move as she desired .
Zhou Yuan stood by the side and watched Yaoyao’s gently moving hand as he could not help but praise in his heart . “Such a pretty hand . ”
Yaoyao’s small, slim and slender hand seemed to be suffused with jade light . It was so pretty that one would find impossible to shift one’s eyes away .
However, Zhou Yuan did not dare to pay too much attention to it, and his gaze very quickly shifted to the jade tablet .
Light immediate surfaced on the tablet the moment Yaoyao’s final stroke was complete . A complicated rune seemed to have leapt onto the tablet as a tiger roar was faintly heard .
Yaoyao explained in an unenthusiastic voice, “This is known as the Tiger Roar Rune and is a grade 1 Genesis Rune . It can be inscribed on the throat and when activated, a tiger roar sound wave would erupt . If used at close-range, it may even stun the enemy . ”
“A sound wave type Genesis Rune?” Zhou Yuan was a little taken aback . This type of Genesis Rune was rather rare and could save one’s life or even turn the tides of the battle if used at the opportune moment .
“Take a closer look . How many strokes are there in this Genesis Rune?” Said Yaoyao in a casual manner .
When Zhou Yuan heard this, he understood that Yaoyao wanted to test his foundations in Genesis Runes . After all, no matter how high grade a Genesis Rune was, it was still made from the combination of various strokes . The ability to identify and recognize these strokes was the fundamentals of learning Genesis Runes .
Zhou Yuan carefully observed the ‘Tiger Roar Rune’ on the jade tablet . A short period later, he slowly said, “I can see four hundred and thirty seven strokes . ”
Previously, when Zhou Yuan was studying elementary Genesis Runes, there would at most be approximately a hundred strokes . This grade 1 Genesis Rune had more than four times that amount .
Yaoyao nodded and said, “To be more precise, there are four hundred and forty eight strokes . However, the fact that you were able to see four hundred and thirty seven strokes is proof enough that your fundamentals are rather decent . ”
“In the following few days, you will practice copying this ‘Tiger Roar Rune’ and fully master this grade 1 Genesis Rune . ”
A surge of eagerness surfaced in Zhou Yuan’s eyes when he heard this . If he was able to learn this grade 1 Genesis Rune, his strength would be greatly boosted .
Given how close the newcomer exam was, he needed to the strength of four channels to get into the top ten . Thus, he would take any chance he could to grow stronger .
