Chapter 323 Ge (1/2)

Crash!

The surface of the reservoir broke open.

A figure on golden Genesis Qi shot out, an enormous thousand feet long aquatic beast right on his heels, its greedy eyes glued to Zhou Yuan’s figure.

Behind the thousand feet aquatic beast were numerous other aquatic beasts of various sizes.

On Zhou Yuan’s shoulder, Tuntun barked at the swarm of aquatic beasts behind, as if feeling that being chased was a humiliation, and was clearly itching to rumble with them.

“Don’t be rash!”

Zhou Yuan hurriedly stopped Tuntun. If they did not first trap the thousand feet aquatic beast, even if they ended up defeating it, it could escape into the water, and be nearly impossible to chase.

Although Tuntun was somewhat unhappy that he had been stopped, it eventually quietened down.

Only then did Zhou Yuan breathe a small sigh of relief. With a backward glance towards the pursuing aquatic beasts, the golden Genesis Qi below his feet abruptly sped up.

…

“There’s still no movement from the Genesis reservoir.” In the stone pavilion atop the cliff, Li Qingchan gazed at the rippleless surface of the water, before turning to Yaoyao in a doubtful manner. The latter had asked her to prepare, but she had yet to detect anything out of the ordinary till now.

However, Yaoyao paid no heed to the former’s doubtful look, and began drawing in the air with her jade Genesis Rune Brush. Rune after rune took shape and flew out, submerging themselves into the water.

Li Qingchan crossed her arms across her chest and grumpily said, “Let me see what kind of nonsense you guys are up to.”

Boom!

The instant her words sounded, however, berserk undulations suddenly exploded from the reservoir, causing the originally calm water to boil.

This turn of events startled Li Qingchan. Only now did she sense the activity in the depths of the reservoir. As Genesis Qi circulated in her eyes, she saw Zhou Yuan rapidly approaching, a black mass of aquatic beasts right behind him.

“So many?!” Li Qingchan’s expression changed slightly, disbelief in her eyes. Especially when she saw the thousand feet aquatic beast at the front of the pack, causing her usually frosty face to fill with emotion.

“He has actually found a thousand feet aquatic beast?!”

By now, even someone like Li Qingchan was unable to keep her cool. She knew just how difficult it was to find a thousand feet aquatic beast. It had taken them more than half a year to even discover any traces of one.

And yet, Zhou Yuan had managed to discover one after a few short days in the reservoir. How could this not shock her?

“What exactly did he do? Why do these aquatic beasts appear as if they can’t wait to eat him…” Li Qingchan was dumbstruck. She had also seen the crazed appearances of the aquatic beasts.

Splash!

While she was stunned, the surface of the water broke apart as Zhou Yuan soared into the sky.

“Do it big sis Yaoyao!” Shouted Zhou Yuan.

The water was torn open behind him as the thousand feet aquatic beast and numerous others shot out, their giant mouths lunging at Zhou Yuan along with powerful Genesis Qi undulations.

In the stone pavilion, the Genesis Rune brush in Yaoyao’s hand pointed in the air as ripples seem to spread from its tip.

In the water, countless ancient runes began to glow, erupting into a dazzling radiance a split second later that swiftly began to spread.

In the short span of a dozen breaths, an enormous ball of light had appeared on the surface of the reservoir, half of it submerged in the water.

Inside the ball was the thousand feet aquatic beast.

The ball was covered in runes that continuously absorbed the surrounding Genesis Qi. The seemingly thin film of light was actually extremely sturdy. In addition, the ball was spinning, making the thousand feet aquatic beast ultimately unable to approach its sides to break free...

This was obviously the Genesis Rune boundary Yaoyao had set-up.

It was clearly far more refined than the water prison boundary Ye Ge had set-up previously.

The boundary was no obstruction to Zhou Yuan, allowing him to pass through freely. He stood in the air on his Genesis Qi and looked at the other aquatic beasts that were madly attacking the boundary.

“You can go ahead now, we’ll be handling them to you.” He nudged his shoulder and pointed at the innumerable aquatic beasts.

Tuntun was already at the limits of its patience. It immediately roared the moment it heard Zhou Yuan’s words and transformed into its combat state. It charged into the reservoir, straight into the pack of countless aquatic beasts and began to wreak havoc and destruction.

Zhou Yuan did not pay any further attention to it, his body moving and landing on a cliff.

Yaoyao and Li Qingchan also arrived at the same spot at this moment. The latter’s eyes were tightly glued to Zhou Yuan, as if seeing something inconceivable.

“How did you do it?” Li Qingchan could not help but ask.

A thousand feet aquatic beast was far too rare, while also being almost impossible to find. If not, Chu Qing would not have been the only one to successfully hunt one and obtain an eight dragon baptism after so many years.

However, this problem seemed to be non existent to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan grinned as he shrugged. He was naturally not going to divulge the details to her. After all, if this matter were to spread, the other Chosens would likely turn their attention to him.

Li Qingchan understood that a little inappropriate of her, knowing that this was Zhou Yuan’s secret and this did not probe any further. However, it was hard to stop amazement from appearing in her eyes when she looked towards him.

Zhou Yuan was clearly only an ordinary gold sash disciple, but he was able to repeatedly surpass her expectations. It was as if there were numerous secrets hidden under his youthful face.

She did not know why, but she had a feeling that though Zhou Yuan was currently a gold sash disciple, he would become an influential figure in the Cangxuan Sect in the future. In fact, it may not be long before he too would have a place amongst the ten great Chosens...
