Chapter 185 Dragon Breath (2/2)

However, the countless watching gazes had become rather tense at this moment as they stared at the last six figures on the stone steps.

“I wonder who will be entering the eighth platform?”

“It will likely be Zhou Yuan. It’s already unimaginable for him to have lasted so long. He should likely be at his limit, right?”

“Who amongst the rest is not the cream of the crop even amongst the apex level geniuses. Wu Huang, Lu Chunjun, Ning Zhan… all of them should last longer than Zhou Yuan.”

“......”

Countless whispers rang out.

High up in the sky above the Saint Remains Domain, Mu Wuji frowned a little as he stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure. The latter’s Genesis Qi did indeed appear the weakest amongst the remaining six.

“Zhou Yuan is after all only a Heaven Gate stage practitioner. Although his high grade Qi Dwelling had given him more Genesis Qi than ordinary Alpha-Origin experts, the remaining few were truly top tier even amongst the best of them. They were likewise very talented and the grade of the Qi Dwelling was definitely nowhere near the low side.

“Compared to them, Zhou Yuan is at a disadvantage.” Mu Wuji sighed in his heart. He knew that the green flood was a test of the amount and recovery rate of one’s Genesis Qi.

For the mere Heaven Gate stage Zhou Yuan, this was clearly unfavorable.

“It’s not easy for him to reach this stage.” Mu Wuji knew that Zhou Yuan was not to blame. However, at this rate, Zhou Yuan would soon lose the right to continue.

This was something Mu Wuji felt was extremely regretful.

...

Zhou Yuan was naturally unaware of the discussions in the outside world, but he understood his current condition. The Genesis Qi around him had grown much weaker. After all, the consumption along the way here had been far too great.

In fact, his Genesis Qi recovery was sometimes unable to keep up despite him using the Dragon Breath technique.

However, determination still filled Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he focused every fibre of his being. It was as if the only thing in his eyes was the green flood.

He was not willing to give up so easily here.

A roar seemed to echo in his heart.

The world turned silent at this moment, his rapid breathing the only sound echoing in his head...

*Inhale*! *Exhale*!

In this split second moment, his breathing became even more drawn out.

Unbeknownst to even himself, there was now an extremely faint roar of a dragon mixed in with his breathing.

The Genesis Qi around Zhou Yuan rippled slightly, before endlessly flowing towards his nose, transforming into strands of white that rushed in through his nostrils.

“This is?!”

Zhou Yuan finally detected something as his heart began to tremble.

He had realised that every breath he took contained the power of a dragon’s breath that could endlessly suck in Genesis Qi from the surroundings.

Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself in shock, “My proficiency in the Dragon Breath technique… seems to have grown!”

At the very beginning, Zhou Yuan needed to perform an entire set of frolicking dragon forms in order to use a single breath of the Dragon Breath technique. As his mastery grew, he no longer required the frolicking dragon forms, and could activate Dragon Breath through the movement of his bones, a more convenient and faster method compared to before.

However, the true advance level of the Dragon Breath technique was to perfectly harmonize with one’s breathing, allowing every breath to transform into a dragon’s breath that could effortlessly take in Genesis Qi.

In the past, Zhou Yuan had been unable to achieve this feat, but he had now finally came into contact with it due to the pressure from the green flood!

Although he had yet to achieve perfection, the effectiveness of the technique was already several times greater than before!

*Breathe*!

Zhou Yuan continued to breathe as the surrounding Genesis Qi endlessly surged over, transforming into a white mist that was rapidly sucked in by him. As this process continued, his originally somewhat feeble Genesis Qi slowly began to brighten and grow robust again.

Swish!

His speed abruptly increased, step after step flying past under his feet. In a single leap, his position rose from the last amongst the six to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wu Huang, Ye Ming, Li Chunjun and the rest!

These changes were immediately discovered by the rest of them, causing them to be startled. They had originally believed that Zhou Yuan would be the next to yield. Who could have imagined that such a change would suddenly occur?

A dark look flitted across Wu Huang’s face, the killing intent in his eyes growing thicker and thicker.

He could feel that Zhou Yuan was becoming more and more of a threat...
