Chapter 25 Battling Lin Feng
The field was over-saturated with people. The intense battles on each of the various arenas would cause deafening cheers to erupt from the many boys and girls from time to time. It was a pretty explosive atmosphere.
As time passed, more and more new students were eliminated. However, the remaining students were becoming increasingly elite, causing the battles that followed to naturally become even more amazing.
Over this period, Zhou Yuan had another two matches. There were no surprises to the outcomes. His three channel opponents were utterly defeated at his hands.
Hence, he entered the top twenty.
In front of a certain martial arena, Zhou Yuan gazed at the stage where two figures were criss-crossing at high speeds. Genesis Qi light flowed around their bodies and every clash of fists and legs would cause the air to make ear-piercing noises.
The one on the stage was naturally Su Youwei, and her opponent was similarly a four channel practitioner.
If she won this match, Su Youwei would advance to the top ten and possess the qualifications to enter the A class.
Su Youweiâs beautiful figure moved nimbly like a willow in the wind. Her opponent was a well-built youth whose attacks were wild and free, extremely barbaric like a ferocious ape.
In response to her opponentâs wildness, Su Youwei chose to not meet him head-on. Instead, she borrowed the force of her opponents punches and strikes to agilely dodge.
This went on for a long time until the strong youthâs ferocious attacks finally grew weary. Su Youweiâs eyes flashed as she changed her strategy, her pretty figure abruptly closing in on her opponent.
However, it was at this moment that a bright light flashed in the youthâs eyes. His originally somewhat weary attacks were suddenly revived. With a loud shout, Genesis Qi light swirled around a hard fist containing alarming force whilst accompanied by a faint sonic boom as it powerfully struck at Su Youwei.
Formidable fist-wind rushed over, causing Su Youweiâs fine black hair to fly. However, there was no trace of panic in her eyes. Her two fingers jutted out like a sharp sword and violently thrust forward, beating the youth by half a beat as it landed on his chest.
The fist-wind came to an abrupt halt. The youthâs eyes were wide with fury, his body faintly trembling and his face flushed red as he said through gritted teeth, âYouâve actually mastered the Jade-Breaker Finger?â
Su Youwei smiled faintly as her outstretched hand gently pushed and the well-built youthâs body immediately fell to the ground with a loud thud. At the same time, the crowd finally saw a jade-like luster on Su Youweiâs slender fingers. It sparkled in a translucent manner while giving off a formidable aura of coldness.
The numerous watching boys and girls surround the arena exploded into cheers.
âThat is the Jade-Breaker Finger, right? A mid grade Genesis technique said to be very difficult to master. I never imagined that Su Youwei would actually succeed.â
âThis technique concentrates power at a point to break through and has extremely great destructive power. A moment ago, there was a gap in Zhao Fengâs powerful assault which was exploited by Su Youweiâs finger attack, resulting in his defeat.â
âSo awesome, as expected of the fastest channel opening genius of our Great Zhou Institute.â
â.âŠ..â
Numerous boys lamented, their gazes turning even more passionate when they looked towards Su Youwei. There was also thick adoration within their eyes.
Under those passionate gazes, Su Youwei got off the stage and headed straight for Zhou Yuan. There was no longer any trace of the decisiveness and ruthlessness from the recently ended fight in her current smiling appearance.
âHow was it?â Su Youwei lightly hoisted her snow-white chin like a young child showing off candy.
âVery formidable. The power of that Jade-Breaker Finger was fairly shocking. Even the body of a four channel opener will not be able to withstand it.â Zhou Yuan sincerely praised. He would likely be unable to take the might of that finger attack if it landed on his body.
Upon obtaining Zhou Yuanâs praise, the corners of Su Youweiâs ruddy little mouth turned upwards. Just as she was about to speak, a refereeâs shout was suddenly heard from a nearby arena.
âZhou Yuan, Lin Feng!â
The moment this shout was heard, the originally noisy field instantly fell silent. Soon after, booming cheers exploded as practically every person flooded towards that particular arena.
After winning the previous few matches, Zhou Yuan had undoubtedly become the most dazzling black horse in the newcomer exam. However, the opponent he encountered this time was Lin Feng!
Lin Feng was hugely popular amongst the new batch of students and was rumoured to be the most likely candidate for the number one position in the exam.
Amongst the new batch of students, Lin Feng was definitely one of the very best.
Would Zhou Yuan be a black horse till the end, or would he be stopped by Lin Feng just outside top ten? Everyone was burning to find out.
Su Youweiâs expression also changed drastically at this moment. It was obvious that it had never occurred to her that Zhou Yuan and Lin Feng would meet. One must know that even she would have prepare for a hard fight against Lin Feng, what more the merely two channel Zhou Yuan?
Zhou Yuanâs eyes narrowed slightly. He lifted his head and looked towards the nearby tall platform where Qi Yue revealed a smile at him. Subsequently, the latter reached a hand and tapped Lin Fengâs shoulder.
Lin Feng also looked towards Zhou Yuan with an expressionless face. However, there was coldness and disdain in those eyes of his.
Lin Feng seemed to smile and say something to Qi Yue before pushing off the ground with the tip of his foot, causing his body to rise into the air. He landed on the arena in a confident manner that drew cheers from the surrounding crowd.
A cold smile also emerged from the corners of Liu Xiâs lips when she saw this. âLetâs see how he will win this time!â
Qi Yue also smiled and nodded. Lin Fengâs strength was top tier amongst four channel practitioners. Dealing with a mere Zhou Yuan should not be too difficult.
On the viewing platform, Chu Tianyang frowned a little upon seeing that Zhou Yuan and Lin Feng had been matched. Soon after, a cold glint flitted across his eyes as he beckoned to a guard and said in a flat voice, âAfter today, fire the one whoâs in-charge of the arrangements for this exam.â
He had already realised that it was rather strange for Zhou Yuan repeatedly encounter formidable opponents. Now that even Lin Feng had been matched with the former, how could he possibly fail to grasp what was going on. Fury instantly flooded his heart. To think that these people actually dared to target Zhou Yuan in front of him.
By the side, Xu Hongâs expression remained unchanged as he asked, âIsnât this a little too much?â
Chu Tianyang coldly chuckled and replied, âAll of you know full well what you have done. Besides, I am the headmaster and do not need the likes if you to teach me how to do things.â
There was a little anger in Xu Hongâs eyes, but in the end, he only snorted and did not speak any further. Although Qi Yue had exposed some of Qi Manorâs men, it did not affect the the grand scheme of things.
Under numerous gazes of pity from the field, Zhou Yuan also stepped onto the arena.
Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking rather tall and handsome. He looked at Zhou Yuan and said with a superficial smile, âYour highness is truly surprising. To think that you were actually able to come all the way here.â
Zhou Yuan glanced at Lin Feng and replied in an indifferent tone, âYou will be even more surprised later on.â
Lin Feng let out a cold laugh. âI look forward to it.â
Sparks were already flying in the exchange of words between the two like two needles clashing at their tips.
âMatch begin!â The refereeâs shout rang out in the arena, breaking the exchange between the two.
On the arena, Zhou Yuan and Lin Feng stared at each other, cold light flashing in both of their eyes.
Bang!
In the next instant, Zhou Yuanâs and Lin Fengâs bodies shot out at practically the same moment.
With a stamp from Lin Fengâs foot, his body rose into the air. A whip-leg ripped through the air with a âchi laâ sound, filled with astonishing force. Like a whip, it viciously snapped at Zhou Yuanâs head.
This kick could shatter even rock.
Zhou Yuanâs arm swept out horizontally, blocking the kick. The powerful force caused his arm to be violently jolted, while his other arm had already thrust forward, five fingers curling into a fist as it headed straight for Lin Fengâs chest.
Pa!
Lin Fengâs body abruptly swivelled in mid-air as his five fingers also formed a fist that smashed against Zhou Yuanâs like a javelin.
Thud thud thud!
In a short span of less than a dozen breaths, the two already exchanged a dozen blows. Each strike was deadly and aimed at the vitals, causing the onlookers outside the arena to be greatly disturbed.
Strong winds unfurled on the arena, sweeping up the dirt as Zhou Yuanâs and Lin Fengâs bodies were jerked back time and time again.
Waves of noise rippled from below the arena. The crowd now looked at Zhou Yuan in a new light. Both of the participants had not used any Genesis Qi in their earlier exchanges and fully relied on the quality of their respective bodies.
However, Lin Fengâs four channel body was not able to obtain even the slightest advantage over Zhou Yuan.
This caused them to be rather shocked. No matter how much they racked their brains, they could not understand why Zhou Yuanâs body would be so strong.
The commotion below the stage also caused Lin Fengâs expression to become somewhat ugly. The cold light in his eyes immediately became colder as he took in a deep breath and no longer held anything back. âFour channels open!â
The moment Lin Fengâs shout rang out, Genesis Qi surged over from all around and poured into his body.
Strands of Genesis Qi light swirled around Lin Fengâs body, and faint cracks started to grow on the stone arena below his feet. It was very intimidating.
Bang!
Lin Fengâs foot stomped, cracking the stone floor of the arena. His speed soared and he instantly appeared in front of Zhou Yuan, palm-wind screaming as a strike powerfully swept towards Zhou Yuan.
The powerful wind that pounced towards Zhou Yuan caused his heart to shiver a little. The fact that Lin Feng was able to become one of the top students amongst the new batch was definitely proof of his strength.
Zhou Yuanâs steps inclined at an angle, activating the Dragon Step, as his figure turned mist-like and blurry.
Lin Fengâs palm swept past but only managed to brush Zhou Yuanâs chest.
âWhat a strange body-type support skill!â Lin Fengâs pupils shrunk slightly. He had previously seen Zhou Yuanâs bizarre auxiliary technique. When his body became blurry, it seemed as if any attack would land on empty air.
âMid grade Genesis technique, Demon Bull Stomp!â
Bright light flickered in Lin Fengâs eyes as his foot suddenly stamped on the ground. Stone was immediately shattered as a ripple that could be seen with the naked eye unfurled.
Regardless of how amazing Zhou Yuanâs auxiliary technique was, he was still affected by the shockwave area attack. His body immediately jerked, freezing for an instant.
âTime for you to get off the stage!â Lin Feng instantly grabbed ahold of this opening. With a loud shout, his five fingers curled into a fist as he threw a punch at Zhou Yuanâs chest like an angry lion.
As wind whistled towards him, Zhou Yuan did not dare to tarry as his foot stamped on the ground. âTwo channels open!â
Genesis Qi poured into Zhou Yuanâs body as flowing Genesis Qi light appeared on the surface of his body.
Zhou Yuanâs crossed his arms in a defensive posture.
Boom!
Lin Fengâs fist heavily landed on Zhou Yuanâs arms, power pouring out in torrents. Zhou Yuanâs feet shook as his body rapidly slid backwards, only coming to a stop dangerously close to the edge of the arena.
Cries of alarm immediately exploded from below the arena. Su Youweiâs hand covered her mouth, her pretty face filled with anxiety.
Lin Feng sneered, âYou are really tenacious.â
Zhou Yuan lightly shook his numb arms as he replied, âThe power of four fully open channels is indeed formidable.â
If he had not braced his lower body earlier, the explosion of power would have likely thrown him off the arena.
Lin Feng coldly said, âYouâre going down next time!â
Zhou Yuanâs eyes narrowed slightly, the expression in his eyes gradually growing sharper as he stared at Lin Feng. The former took a step forward, his body bending forward slightly, like a tiger that was about to go all out and rip its prey to shreds.
A dangerous feeling spread from Zhou Yuanâs body as he grinned at Lin Feng, revealing a set of eerily white teeth that made oneâs heart beat a little faster.
âI feel that you will not have another chance!â
The instant his voice rang out, Zhou Yuanâs figure had already shot forward!
His full power counter attack had begun.
