Chapter 53 I Know This Too (1/2)

Green light pulsed on Qi Yue’s hand, never stretching beyond half a finger in length. As the green light throbbed, even the air itself was sliced apart with ‘ch’ sounds, making clear its astonishing destructive power.

Only a single glance was needed for everyone to realise the identity of the green aura. It was one of the most powerful techniques of Qi Manor, the Auraflare technique.

The insanely terrifying power of this technique made it such that ordinary practitioners would not dare to engage it in a direct clash. Hence, there were very few experts under the Qi Nourishing stage who could face Qi Yue while he was using this technique with eight open channels.

Hence, the situation was reversed once again.

Qi Yue’s entire body brimmed with killing intent as he stared and Zhou Yuan and said in a chillingly eerie voice, “Zhou Yuan, I’ll admit that you are indeed very capable. I would never have imagined that a cripple from half a year ago would become such a huge threat to me!”

“The great threat that you pose has made me feel that it would be better to cripple you once more!” Qi Yue revealed a set of spookily white teeth as he smiled sinisterly.

Surprise flitted across Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he stared at the throbbing green aura on Qi Yue’s palm. The former had clearly not expected Qi Yue to have learnt the Auraflare technique.

However, Qi Yue’s green aura was extremely faint and seemed rather unstable. It was evident that he had just barely managed to bring out this technique.

Even so, the power of the green aura far surpassed the low grade Black tier Galloping Thunder Fist from earlier.

“It just so happens that you and I have opposite views.” Zhou Yuan’s voice was indifferent as he looked at Qi Yue’s twisted face that oozed with killing intent. “Because I have never seen you as a threat from the very beginning. In my eyes, you are merely a small pebble in my path of cultivation.”

Qi Yue’s pupils shrank, his seething rage ultimately releasing itself in the form of laughter. To have a once crippled prince see him as a tiny pebble in the latter’s path made him feel humiliation he had never experienced before.

“I truly hope that you will still be able say these words when you are kneeling at my feet later!”

Qi Yue’s killing intent had reached its peak. His presence raged like a tiger as the green aura pulsed on his palm. He could not longer restrain the killing intent in his heart. His foot stomped on the ground, shattering the stone floor, as his figure swiftly shot towards Zhou Yuan amidst countless cries of alarm.

Qi Yue’s palm sliced through the air. The faint green glow around it emitting extremely deadly pulses.

Zhou Yuan remained where he stood. In the onlookers’ eyes, it seemed as if he had been frightened silly by Qi Yue’s ferocity.

On the A class side, Su Youwei’s face paled a little. She was almost about to lose control and dash towards the stage, but firmly suppressed this desire with her rationality.

By the side, Chu Tianyang’s fists were tightly clenched, a tense expression on his face as he unblinkingly stared at the stage.

On the central viewing platform, Zhou Qing’s body leaned forward as faint traces of Genesis Qi surged around him. It was obvious that he planned to step in at the final moment to ensure that nothing happened to Zhou Yuan.

Below him, Qi Yuan smiled faintly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Under countless gazes of pity, Zhou Yuan stared at Qi Yue as he murmured, “Is the Auraflare technique really that great?”

He stepped forward, his body suddenly jerking and his back rising as he opened his mouth, “Dragon Breath!”

Roar!

The roar of a dragon echoed faintly as the surrounding Genesis Qi transformed into a stream of white that was swallowed by Zhou Yuan with a single gulp.

As he grew more and more proficient with the ninety eight forms of the frolicking dragon, Zhou Yuan now no longer needed to perform all the stances and could vibrate his bones to activate Dragon Breath.

The mouthful of rich Genesis Qi that entered his body immediately started to spin at high speeds in his channels as it was compressed.

Zhou Yuan raised his head, gazed at Qi Yue’s increasingly distorted face and slowly extended his hand. Disbelief flooded everyone’s eyes as they watched a green glow emerge from Zhou Yuans palm, a green glow that pulsed as it shredded the air.

The green glow was exactly the same hue as the one on Qi Yue’s hand, only a little deeper.

Most importantly, Zhou Yuan’s green glow was a whole inch long, while Qi Yue’s was less than half a finger long.

Countless cries erupted throughout the entire field.

“Prince Zhou Yuan is also… using the Auraflare technique?!”

“How is that possible? Isn’t the technique exclusive to Qi Manor? How could prince Zhou Yuan have learnt it?!”

“Prince Zhou Yuan’s aura is deeper and longer! His mastery is clearly even greater than Qi Yue’s!”

“How is this possible…”

Cries of alarm and surprise rose and fell. Everyone was shocked by the scene before their eyes.

The eyes of the rapidly approaching Qi Yue also widened at this moment as he stared at the throbbing green light on Zhou Yuan’s hand.
