Chapter 855 Another Trump Card (1/2)

There was a lost and shocked look on Yi Qiushui’s pretty face as she uttered these words. Her Spirit cultivation was only at the initial Corporeal stage, while Ye Bingling had reached the intermediate Corporeal stage and was far stronger than her. This was something both of them had personally tested out many times.

However, her Spirit needle had smashed apart Ye Bingling’s Spirit needle!

Yi Qiushui would not dare to believe it if she had not personally witnessed it.

As such, she could only stare at Zhou Yuan with her eyes wide open. No one knew her strength better than herself. Shattering Ye Bingling’s Spirit needle had to have been due to something Zhou Yuan had done.

Ye Bingling’s beautiful yet aloof face was also somewhat dazed. Moments later, she suddenly returned to her senses as her burning eyes locked onto Zhou Yuan.

“How did you do it?!”

Zhou Yuan lightly tapped his palm with the Heavenly Yuan Brush. He did not reply, but unconcealable joy surged out from the depths of his eyes.

It had only been a strike of inspiration previously for him to see if he could use Spirit Devour’s power by splitting off the brush hairs. This inspiration originated from the four ancient Genesis Runes. To complete a wind spirit rune, they had to collect Genesis marks in the Four Spirits Origin Tower.

Although the resulting runes did not have the same level of power as the main rune, they still bestowed a noteworthy advantage.

Spirit Devour possessed great destructive power towards the Spirit and could devour an opponent’s Spirit to strengthen itself. If he could come up with some sort of method to give the Wind Pavilion members this ability, even a weakened version would tremendously boost their Spirit combat prowess.

However, splitting off a Genesis mark was no simple feat and was something Zhou Yuan could not possibly achieve alone. After all, the Four Spirits Origin Tower was only able to do so because of the mottled divine grindstone hidden deep within it.

Fortunately, although Zhou Yuan did not have a divine grindstone, he had the Heavenly Yuan Brush.

It was once a Saint tier artifact and still possessed miraculous powers even though it had been damaged.

Hence, Zhou Yuan was able to easily borrow the Heavenly Yuan Brush’s many hairs to bestow the power of the Spirit Devour rune through Genesis marks. He only needed to wrap the split hair around the target’s body, and the user’s Spirit attacks would gain a sliver of Spirit Devour’s power.

This was how Yi Qiushui had managed to shatter Ye Bingling’s Spirit needle.

From the test, a single strand of brush hair could activate the power of Spirit Devour five times. After five activations, the Genesis mark on the hair would dissipate.

In addition, the Heavenly Yuan Brush had an endless amount of brush hairs. Although removing several thousand was not without cost, it only needed to rest for a while to fully recover, and there would not be any lasting damage.

However, directly using the brush hairs would certainly draw attention. Although his senior sister Chi Jing had said that it was not strange for brush-like Genesis Weapons to appear in the Tianyuan Region, he felt that he should still practice some caution.

Hence, if he wanted to use the Spirit Devour Genesis mark to boost the Wind Pavilion’s Spirit battle power, he needed to think of a way to conceal it.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes grew increasingly excited as these thoughts swirled in his head. If everything worked, he would no longer fear the Fire Pavilion during the Heaven Flame Ritual.

Excited, Zhou Yuan could no longer restrain himself and quickly said to Yi Qiushui and Ye Bingling, “I’ll leave the Spirit practice to you two. I’ll be going into secluded cultivation for a few days.”
