Chapter 52 True Power (1/2)

“Zhou Yuan, you are courting death!”

A howl of rage emerged from Qi Yue’s mouth as chilling killing intent exploded from his body. Veins crawled up in his eyes, making him appear exceptionally sinister.

He had originally believed that it would be an easy fight for him. After all, his seven channel strength was enough to crush any student of the institute.

Yet, who could have that he would not only be unable to achieve a clean victory against a mere five channel Zhou Yuan, but to even be pushed this far.

To Qi Yue, this outcome was undoubtedly akin to losing all face.

“Exactly who is courting death has not been decided!” Zhou Yuan’s voice was calm, but murder also blossomed in his eyes.

Qi Yue’s bloodshot eyes glared at Zhou Yuan. A brief moment later, the twisted expression on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by calmness. However, his voice grew increasingly eerie as he said, “Zhou Yuan, I have to admit that you coming this far has already surpassed my expectations.”

“However, do you believe that this will be enough to beat me?”

Upon seeing Qi Yue’s eerie expression, Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as his expression became a little more serious. He knew that Qi Yue had definitely made certain preparations for this class ranking exam.

Qi Yue deeply breathed in as a ruthless look flitted across his eyes. In the next instant, his body violently shook as a howl rang out.

“Channel Breaker Art!”

Buzz!

One could only watch as Genesis Qi suddenly surged over from the surroundings and poured into Qi Yue’s body. Everyone quickly sensed Qi Yue’s aura begin to climb.

Zhou Yuan’s expression finally changed at this moment as he slowly said, “To think that you would use the Channel Breaker Art. That’s some real determination indeed.”

This Channel Breaker Art was a type of Gensis technique that could temporarily force open another meridian channel. Since Qi Yue was already a seven channel practitioner, breaking open one more channel would allow him to reach the eight channel state.

However, the technique would harm one’s body and greatly prolong the time it subsequently took to open the eighth channel.

Genesis Qi light swirled around Qi Yue’s body as his clothes flapped. His five fingers clenched into a fist, releasing cracking noises as he felt the overwhelming power in his body.

“For the sake of obtaining the Great Zhou Institute, this small price is really nothing.” Qi Yue’s tone was apathetic as he continued, “Moreover, Qi Manor has already prepared mystical treasures to aid in my quick recovery.”

“However, before that, I feel that you will be the one who is going to pay!”

Bang!

His body shot forward the moment the final word left his mouth.

“Such speed!” Zhou Yuan was a little startled. Qi Yue’s strength has risen to a whole new level after forcibly opening his eighth channel.

“Dragon Step!”

Zhou Yuan wasted no time as his body stepped out at an angle.

Boom.

A fist surrounded by swirling Genesis Qi light viciously thrust towards him from behind, brushing past his chest.

However, the moment the attack missed, Qi Yue’s fist suddenly transformed into a palm and slapped downwards. Genesis Qi blasted apart the air, the powerful force caused pockets of air to explode, hitting Zhou Yuan in the chest.

Thud thud!

Zhou Yuan’s figure rapidly retreated as he felt waves of pain from his chest. Although he had only been hit by the explosion of air from Qi Yue’s previous blow, it had been more than enough to cause damage.

It was clear that Qi Yue had grown even more powerful after forcing open his eighth channel.

“Let’s see how long you can continue to dodge!” Cold light was revealed in Qi Yue’s eyes as his figure shot forth once again. A flurry of swift attacks enveloped Zhou Yuan in waves.

In response to the now extremely formidable Qi Yue, Zhou Yuan could only retreat, retreat and retreat.

Zhou Yuan instantly fell into a disadvantageous position.

On the field, countless cries were heard due to the sudden change in the situation. Anyone could tell that Qi Yue had gained complete dominance in the fight. If Zhou Yuan did not have anything else up his sleeve, the pace of the match would fall into Qi Yue’s control.

On the A class side, graveness and worry filled the face of every student. Su Youwei’s hands were tightly clenched, while her pretty face was somewhat anxious. The current Qi Yue was really too powerful.

On the tall viewing platform, Zhou Qing’s expression was also grim. In contrast, a pleased smile emerged on Qi Yuan’s face.

Rumble!

Two figures continued their chase across the stone stage. Qi Yue’s attacks were relentless, wave after wave of deadliness forcing Zhou Yuan to continuously duck and dodge.

However, under Qi Yue’s pressure, the amount of space Zhou Yuan had to dodge grew tinier and tinier.

Until a certain point in time when his foot arrived at the edge of the stone stage. It was then that Qi Yue’s face filled with a twisted smile as fist-wind suddenly slashed downwards, causing cracks to grow on the ground below.

This palm strike was enough to sweep Zhou Yuan off the stage and decide the victor.

Hence, cries of alarm rose and fell across the field.
