Chapter 43 Learning the Auraflare Technique (1/2)

In the following period of time, Zhou Yuan engaged in daily channel unblocking attempts with the help of the Thirty Six Beast Channel Opening Rune. It must be said that although this channel opening rune was rather dangerous, its effectiveness was astonishingly good.

In a mere few days, Zhou Yuan’s fifth meridian channel grew increasingly loose as the blocked portions were continuously cleared.

At this rate, completely unblocking the fifth channel was practically just around the corner.

However, there was some slight delay due to the troublesome ingredient procurement process. The heart-blood Zhou Yuan had painstakingly gathered for such a long time could only last for five uses. Therefore, he had not choice but to spend the majority of each day hunting grade 1 Genesis Beasts and acquire more heart-blood.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed in the mountain forest.

...

Bang!

In the forest. An entirely blood-red giant of a creature charged at Zhou Yuan, who had just killed a Genesis Beast. The former was extremely ferocious, leaving Zhou Yuan no choice but to jump onto the branches of a tall tree with a push of his foot, avoiding the blood-red creature’s charge.

Having chased Zhou Yuan away, the giant beast ignored the former’s furious gaze as it lowered its head and began to tear apart the Genesis Beast corpse Zhou Yuan had killed.

“This god damned bastard!”

Atop the tree, Zhou Yuan could not help but curse when he saw this. However, there was nothing he could do as he had no way to deal with the giant blood-red creature.

This creature was known as the Flame Plate Rhino and was a grade 1 Genesis Beast. However, it was extremely hard to deal with compared to other grade 1 Genesis Beasts. Its strength was comparable to a six channel human practitioner, but its defence could match a seven channel expert, power that allowed it to reign as the little tyrant of this particular zone.

Even Zhou Yuan’s Dragon Tablet Hand did not have much of an effect on the exceptional defensive prowess of this Genesis Beast, while the Heavenly Yuan Brush could only leave bloody scratches but was unable to do any real damage.

Hence, Zhou Yuan chose to avoid the Flame Plate Rhino whenever he encountered it, but who could have expected that the bastard would grow more and more unreasonable, even beginning to steal his kill today.

It was clear that Zhou Yuan had now been targeted by the Flame Plate Rhino due to his frequent hunting of Genesis Beasts in the area.

“I’m being bullied by a beast.”

Zhou Yuan did not know whether to laugh or to cry, but he knew that there was no point in lingering. Thus, he decisively turned around and dashed forward, the tip of his feet pushing off one giant tree after another as he rushed out of the forest, hurrying back to the valley.

In the valley, Yaoyao was a little surprised when she saw that Zhou Yuan had returned empty handed.

Zhou Yuan awkwardly explained when he saw Yaoyao’s gaze, “I was robbed by a Flame Plate Rhino.”

Yaoyao was unable to restrain her smile when she heard this. “The Flame Plate Rhino has strong defensive ability and even a seven channel human practitioner will find it very troublesome to deal with. You might be able to break through its defences if your Heavenly Yuan Brush reaches the upper tier Genesis Weapon level.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. He had been feeding the Heavenly Yuan Brush daily but still had yet to light the second ancient Genesis Rune.

The corners of Yaoyao’s mouth bent slightly as she said, “If you do not think of a way to deal with this Flame Plate Rhino, I’m afraid that you will not be able to hunt anymore Genesis Beasts unless you change location.”

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth pulled downwards. Chased away by a rhino? He really could not afford to be humiliated in this manner. Therefore, he had to think of some way to deal with it.

“Although the Dragon Tablet Hand is bold and unyielding, it is indeed a little lacking in the face of such a highly defensive Genesis Beast.” A look of thought emerged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. He needed to learn a Genesis skill that could amplify his offensive power.

As his thoughts reached this point, something suddenly hit him as he reached into his clothes and retrieved a jade scroll. It was the Auraflare technique he had obtained a few days ago.

“I should take a look at the technique that is so highly valued by Qi Manor.”

Zhou Yuan seated himself and poured Genesis Qi into the scroll. Light was immediately emitted, shining on the air in front of him as words started to flow.

Zhou Yuan focused on the words. They were the introduction and cultivation method for the Auraflare technique.

“Oh, this Auraflare technique is somewhat peculiar.” While Zhou Yuan was immersed in the cultivation method of the Auraflare technique, he suddenly heard a cry surprise. He turned his head, only to find that Yaoyao was standing beside him. Her bright penetrating eyes were glued to the screen of light.

Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement. Having just looked through it, he now knew the theory behind the Auraflare technique. Basically, this technique made use of a unique method to continuously compress the Genesis Qi in the meridian channels, concentrating it.

After continuous compression, the Genesis Qi would become highly concentrated, giving it astonishing force and piercing power.

Zhou Yuan exclaimed in admiration, “As expected of a Black tier Genesis technique. Its profoundness far surpasses Normal tier Genesis techniques.”
