Chapter 242 Advent of the Match (1/2)

In the following five days, the Genesis technique match between Zhou Yuan and Zhu Feng had undoubtedly become the focus of the entire outer mountains. It was the most popular topic for a time, drawing the attention of countless disciples.

No one had expected Zhu Yue to counter attack in such a manner.

But it was undoubtedly a very smart move. If it was only a Genesis technique competition, no one could say that Zhu Yue was using his superior might to bully Zhou Yuan.

However, things were not looking good for Zhou Yuan. From what everyone could see, no matter how talented Zhou Yuan was in the Ethereal Form technique, he would not be able to match Zhu Yue, whom had not stopped walking on this path for nearly two years.

After all, someone who could become an inner mountain disciple would not be an easy opponent.

Many of the outer mountain disciples felt that it was such a pity. If Zhou Yuan lost, they would have no choice but to return to Zhu Yue’s place to learn the Ethereal Form technique...

...

A certain little house in the outer mountains.

Dressed entirely in white, Lu Feng was seated inside a stone pavilion as the surrounding Genesis Qi surged over, transforming into white smoke that flowed into his body through his nose.

The sound of rushing wind was heard behind him, causing Lu Feng to open his eyes, only to find a young man in blue robes standing behind him. The youth’s eyes were long and narrow, and seemed to smile all the time. But there was a blade like feeling from his smile that made no one dare to look directly at him.

The young man in blue robes was called Yang Xiu and was also an influential figure amongst the outer mountain disciples. He was ranked third amongst the ten great outer mountain disciples, losing only to Lu Feng and Gu Hongyi.

Yang Xiu grinned and said, “Heh, have you heard? That kid Zhou Yuan is going to compete with Zhu Feng in the Ethereal Form technique.”

Lu Feng’s expression remained indifferent as he said, “Overestimating his abilities.”

Yang Xiu chuckled. “It seems that you have a lot of opinions about him…”

There was only calmness on Lu Feng’s face as he replied, “He does not have the qualifications for me to have any opinions about him. However, he is very cunning. He deliberately approached Hongyi in hopes of making use of her connections.”

“And recently, Hongyi and him have been meeting far too many times.”

Lu Feng’s gaze lowered slightly as iciness flashed in his eyes.

“He truly is not tactful at all. I had warned him after all.” Muttered Lu Feng to himself.

Upon hearing Lu Feng’s words, Yang Xiu grinned and said, “That kid is rather unfortunate to have caught your attention…”

Lu Feng indifferently said, “But it seems that there is no need for me to act. Although Zhu Yue is only a black sash disciple, he has still managed to enter the inner mountains, and even if it is only an Ethereal Form technique match, he should still be able to steamroll that kid.”

“Zhu Yue doesn’t really have much ability. It’s been years, but he’s still only a black sash disciple.” Yang Xiu’s tone was full of contempt towards Zhu Yue.

Lu Feng glanced at the former. “Do not underestimate him. Zhu Yue is very cunning, and has likely concealed his abilities.”

He raised his head and looked towards a certain direction in the outer mountains as iciness and disdain appeared in his eyes.

“When Zhu Yue crushes that arrogant kid, he should learn to be a little more well behaved, right?”

“To think that a peasant prince from some remote continent dares to steal my woman.”

The corners of Lu Feng’s mouth curled as he said to Yang Xiu, “When the date of the match arrives, we’ll also go watch the entertainment.”

...

For the next few days, the training sessions by the creek was not put on hold. Zhou Yuan still continued to help everyone unblock their apertures. The only difference was that he was spending the majority of his time immersed in his own training.

By the creek, the numeros disciples often looked towards Zhou Yuan with complicated expressions.

They could sense that Zhou Yuan seemed to be trying his best to make every last second count. However, when this scene fell in their eyes, it undoubtedly made them feel that Zhou Yuan was not confident.
