Dragon Prince Yuan - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

In the mountain forests .

Zhou Yuan stood on a rock, five snarling giant green wolves currently circling him .

These Wind Spirit Wolves were also grade 1 Genesis Beasts . They specialized in speed and were extremely difficult to deal with due to their pack nature . Even seven channel experts would avoid them as much as possible . They could be said to be the tyrants of this particular area .

However, there was not much fear on Zhou Yuan’s face but instead some eagerness .

Swish!

One of the Wind Spirit Wolves took the lead and attacked, a green figure darting forward like a shadow, sharp claws ripping through the air as they mercilessly slashed at Zhou Yuan’s back .

However, its surprise attack was not the least bit effective . Zhou Yuan’s figure seemed to flicker as it turned blurry, causing the sharp claws to slice through empty air .

Bang!

Zhou Yuan’s counterattack was as swift as thunder . Five fingers tightly clenched into a fist as vigorous Genesis Qi surged around it . A punch slammed into the attacking wolf’s waist, breaking bone with a crack and sending the wolf to its death .

Ahwoo!

The moment it died, scarlet red washed over the other four wolves eyes as they shot forward with a howl .

“Martial form!”

Zhou Yuan let out a hearty laugh as he charged towards the remaining four Wind Spirit Wolves . He grasped the growing Heavenly Yuan Brush and swung it horizontally like a long spear, sending one of the wolves flying .

Ch ch!

In the forest, a human exchanged vicious blows with four wolves . Zhou Yuan wielded the Heavenly Yuan Brush like a heavy metal spear, devastating force wreaking havoc as it swept forth, making it practically impossible for the four wolves to approach .

The snow-white hairs of the brush tip flickered with sharpness, cutting deep and bloody wounds everytime it swept across a wolf’s body .

The battle started intensely and ended quickly .

After several minutes, Zhou Yuan stood on the spot, the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand standing on the ground at a slightly slanted angle . Fresh blood dripped from the tip of the brush while the corpses of five WInd Spirit Wolves gradually turned cold around him .

A breath was slowly spat out from Zhou Yuan’s mouth while a stern glint surged in his eyes like a sharp blade . Two months of training in the mountain forest had given Zhou Yuan a faint aura of ferocity .

“Culture form . ”

The Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand swiftly shrunk, becoming a foot long again as Zhou Yuan stuck it back into his waistband .

He raised his head, eyes narrowing slightly as he watched sunlight spill through the cracks in the trees and mumbled, “Only a few days left till the class ranking exam . It’s about time to return . ”



He had trained for about two months in the mountain forests and his fifth meridian channel had already been completely unblocked a month earlier .


He had not returned because his channel opening speed would drop once he left this Genesis Beast infested mountain forests . Instead, he used the Genesis Beasts in the forest to temper himself .

He bent down to dig out the Beast Spirit Crystals from the heads of the five Wind Spirit Wolves before turning around and leaving the forest . Half an hour later, he arrived at the valley .

“Are we returning?” When Yaoyao saw that Zhou Yuan had returned, she seemed to know that he was ready to go back . She stretched lazily, displaying the enchanting outline of her waist .

She had previously lived with Cang Yuan in a domain void of any other people and was used to this kind of life . Thus, her two months her had been rather leisurely .

Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded before whistling . After a brief period, a dozen figures flew out from the mountain forests . They were the imperial guards that had been protecting him from the shadows .

“Inform captain Lu to prepare our return to Great Zhou City . ”

Zhou Yuan watched the imperial guards withdraw before turning his head . His gaze seemed to penetrate the dense forests and see Great Zhou City .

“The guards reported some time ago that Qi Yue has already unblocked his seventh meridian channel… that guy does have some ability . ”

Zhou Yuan’s lips were tightly pursed as coldness surfaced in his eyes .

Qi Yue had constantly caused trouble for him ever since he entered the Great Zhou Institute and most recently even using such an underhanded tactic at the Jade Spirit Waterfall . Qi Yue had even tried to use Su Youwei to threaten Zhou Yuan after the former’s subsequent loss of the Auraflare technique .



These actions had already roused Zhou Yuan’s desire to kill .

“There were never any chances in the past, but in the class ranking exam… Qi Yue, it is time for us to properly write off these debts!”

. . .

Great Zhou royal palace .

Zhou Qing and Qin Yu rushed over the moment Zhou Yuan arrived at the royal palace .

Qin Yu quickly walked forward the moment she saw Zhou Yuan, grabbing his shoulders as she said in a tender voice, “My child, you did not return for so long after you left, look at how thin you’ve become . ”

The current Zhou Yuan had actually become leaner, but to Qin Yu, training in the mountain forests was purely suffering .

Zhou Yuan smiled as he hugged Qin Yu . After some consoling, he let Yaoyao accompany Qin Yu as he walked away with Zhou Qing .

“Unblocked your fifth meridian channel?” Zhou Qing grinned as he glanced at Zhou Yuan .

Zhou Yuan nodded .

“Lu Tieshan has told me what happened . I did not expect Qi Yue would be so bold and actually target you . ” A cold look flitted across Zhou Qing’s face .



Looks like the past few years of tolerating Qi Manor’s actions had now made them fearless . However, he did have his difficulties . After all, if he fully fall out with Qi Manor, the Great Zhou Empire would definitely have to welcome a war that would hurt them to the very core . This would be extremely detrimental to Great Zhou .

Hence, he somewhat blamed himself for the attack on Zhou Yuan . If he was not such a useless father, Zhou Yuan would not have fallen into such danger .

Zhou Yuan knew how his father suffered in silence . With a smile, he fished out the Auraflare technique jade scroll form his clothes and said, “Don’t dwell on it too much father, I was not the one who suffered a loss this time . ”

“Auraflare technique? It has indeed landed in your hands!” Zhou Qing was a little taken aback but soon burst out into laughter . He was naturally aware how Qi Manor had practically turned the place upside down in search of this very technique .

“Let them pay a little interest first . As for Qi Yue, father need not worry . I will properly resolve the debts between us in the class ranking exam three days from now . ”

Although Zhou Yuan’s expression was calm, the confidence in his voice made Zhou Qing feel rather gratified as he nodded . Two months of training in the deep mountain forests had slightly unsheathed the blade that was Zhou Yuan .

Zhou Qing slowly said, “The upcoming class ranking exam is extremely important . If the A class is defeated by the B class again, the headmaster position might fall into Qi Manor’s hands . All their years of plotting have cumulated into this very day . ”

Zhou Yuan nodded . He clearly understood the importance of the upcoming class ranking exam . It might seem to be a contest between the two classes, but the truth was that it would affect both the Great Zhou royal clan and Qi Manor .

The him of the past was unable to find his meridian channels and naturally could not be of much aid with regards to this matter . But since he had now opened five channels, Qi Manor would have to first ask his permission if they intended on taking over the Great Zhou Institute .

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath as his eyes narrowed . All his months of bitter training were for this very day!
