Venerable Yuan

clang! clang!

On the martial arts field, as more and more freshmen gathered, a loud voice came from the high platform. Everyone looked up and saw an invigilator standing above them.

"In this exam, opponents will be judged by drawing lots. Everyone will step forward to draw numbers, and those with the same number will be the opponent." The powerful voice of the invigilator sounded throughout the martial arts arena.

As the invigilator finished speaking, many freshmen stepped forward to draw numbers, and the scene became increasingly heated.

On the martial arts viewing platform to the west of the martial arts arena, senior officials from the Great Zhou Mansion also gathered here. On the seat in the middle was none other than the Lord of the Great Zhou Mansion, Chu Tianyang.

On the seat next to him is a middle-aged man in purple robe. The man has a thin face and sunken eyes. He looks a bit cold and stern. He is leaning on the seat and holding a tea cup with an indifferent expression.

This person is Xu Hong, the deputy head of the Great Zhou Mansion, and the dean of the Second Academy.

"Master Chu, this time your Academy A will probably have to select people from the top ten." Xu Hong looked at the martial arts field and said with a smile.

Chu Tianyang's face was expressionless. He naturally knew that most of the outstanding performers among this new generation were attracted by Qi Yue, and they would undoubtedly enter the second hospital after passing the exam.

"Deputy Palace Master Xu, it's not a good thing to get carried away." Chu Tianyang said coldly.

Facing Chu Tianyang's angry words, Xu Hong didn't care at all. Instead, a sarcastic smile broke out at the corner of his mouth. His second hospital has ranked first in the government examination for two years. If he wins the first place again this year, he can follow the rules. Rules compete for the position of palace master.

By then, the head of the Great Zhou Mansion will be Xu Hong.

The other deans around them could only remain silent when they saw the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, because they all knew that the battle between Chu Tianyang and Xu Hong for the palace master was behind the battle between the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the palace of Prince Qi.

Chu Tianyang was extremely angry with Xu Hong, but he had nothing to do because many of the conditions Qi Yue offered to win over people were even beyond his reach.

"Right now, I hope Su Youwei can perform well. Her talent is extremely good. If she gets into the first hospital and is well trained, she may be able to compete with Qi Yue in the government examination at the end of the year."

Chu Tianyang sighed softly in his heart, and then his eyes moved, suddenly turning to the direction of Zhou Yuan, with a look of worry in his eyes. Although he already knew that Zhou Yuan could open the pulse, it had only been a month. Even if Zhou Yuan's talent is no less than that of Su Youwei, he may have just opened up a vein.

With this strength, let alone the top ten, I'm afraid I won't be able to win a few games today.

And Zhou Yuan is His Highness of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With this status aura, he will always attract attention, so if he loses too ugly, it will still damage the reputation of the Great Zhou royal family.

"I hope Your Highness can persist for a few more games." Chu Tianyang shook his head and thought to himself.

At this time, in the martial arts arena, Zhou Yuan and Su Youwei also drew numbers, Zhou Yuan was number 18, and Su Youwei was number 47.

"Fortunately, we didn't draw the same numbers." Zhou Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Su Youwei chuckled, and then said seriously: "If you meet me, I will not show mercy."

Zhou Yuan could only roll his eyes at this.

While they were laughing and joking, supervisors appeared on the performance stages, and then loud shouts resounded one after another.

"No. 1 Qin Ya, Liu Ying!"

"No. 2 Cheng Yu, Zhao Qingshan!"

“…”

As the vigorous figures swept up the martial arts stages one after another, the entire martial arts arena was soon boiling with excitement. The martial arts stages were surrounded by teenagers and girls, and various cheers and cheers resounded.

Zhou Yuan and Su Youwei did not join in the fun, but just watched from a distance.

As time went by, the results soon came to fruition on those martial arts stages, so the winners cheered and the losers felt sad.

However, the exam will not stop because of someone's failure, so fierce battles are still being staged on the martial arts stage, and soon it is Zhou Yuan's turn to be ranked.

"No. 18, Zhou Yuan, Pei Yun!"

As this shout rang out, the hearts of many young girls in the martial arts arena suddenly moved, and they turned their attention from all directions, because Zhou Yuan's identity was known to everyone in the Great Zhou Mansion.

What surprised them even more was Zhou Yuan's opponent this time, Pei Yun.

This one is quite famous among the newcomers in this class. He has now opened the three meridians, and he is also the leader among the three meridians.

"His Royal Highness Zhou Yuan met Pei Yun in the first scene?!"

"This is too unlucky. Pei Yun is the best among the three lineages..."

"Although His Highness Zhou Yuan is proficient in Origin Patterns, it is still a bit impossible to defeat those of the Three Meridians."

"Is His Highness Zhou Yuan going to be eliminated in this first game?"

“…”

Whispers spread in the martial arts arena. Zhou Yuan had a good reputation in the Great Zhou Mansion, so many people felt sorry for him.

"It's actually Pei Yun?" Su Youwei's pretty face was also a little ugly. She had naturally heard of Pei Yun and knew that he was quite powerful.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly looked towards the high platform not far away. He saw Qi Yue looking at him with a strange smile. His heart immediately moved slightly and he said to himself: "This is the first time I met this person. What a coincidence."

His eyes flashed slightly, and he was afraid that Qi Yue was involved in this, but the fact that this guy could do this was enough to show that Prince Qi's Palace had penetrated the Great Zhou Palace quite seriously.

"In order to cause trouble for me, he did not hesitate to expose some secrets of Prince Qi's palace."

Thoughts flashed through Zhou Yuan's mind, and then he smiled at Su You, whose eyes were full of worry, and said: "Don't worry, even if one of the three meridians wants to stop me, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"I'll go first."

After saying that, Zhou Yuan waved his hand to Su Youwei and quickly walked towards the martial arts stage.

On the high platform, when Qi Yue saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile at Lin Feng and Liu Xi beside him, and said: "The show has begun. I hope our highness can persist a little longer and let us enjoy the show."

When Lin Feng and Liu Xi heard this, they both had schadenfreude in their eyes and looked at the martial arts stage with smiles.

On the martial arts viewing platform on the west side, Chu Tianyang also noticed this scene, and immediately frowned slightly, sighing helplessly in his heart. It was Zhou Yuan's first match against such an opponent, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to win.

Among the many regretful looks, Zhou Yuan walked up to the martial arts stage with a calm expression. He looked up and saw a young man in blue standing tall and looking at him with a playful look.

"I really didn't expect that I would meet His Highness in the first scene. I hope His Highness won't be surprised if he attacks me later." Pei Yun said with a strange smile.

"Did Qi Yue arrange it for you?" Zhou Yuan said lightly.

Pei Yun's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "I don't know what your highness is talking about."

Zhou Yuan straightened his sleeves and said, "I'm afraid there will be no good consequences if I act like a leader."

Pei Yun became a little angry and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, you should take care of yourself. Don't lose face today."

While they were talking, the referee shouted: "Start!"

Pei Yun's eyes were full of coldness, so when the referee's shout just fell, his body shot out like a cheetah, clenched his fingers, and punched Zhou Yuan heavily.

He didn't hold anything back with this punch, and the power of opening the three meridians surged. The surface of the fist was wrapped with source energy, and the power of the punch actually caused the sound of breaking wind.

This was obviously an extremely powerful and domineering punch, and even those with three meridians would not dare to underestimate it.

Everyone around the martial arts stage shook their heads unbearably, fearing that with one punch, Zhou Yuan would be defeated.

Under the gaze of many eyes, a sharp punch came towards his face. Zhou Yuan looked at Pei Yun's somewhat ferocious face, and suddenly stretched out his palm to grab the punch.

"Seeking death!" When Pei Yun saw this, he immediately laughed angrily. This Zhou Yuan couldn't have been frightened. With his punch, even rocks would be shattered. And this Zhou Yuan actually dared to use his physical palm to strike hard. To receive his fierce punch? Aren't you afraid of your arms being broken?

boom!

In Pei Yun's ferocious eyes, his punch containing a fierce punch collided heavily with Zhou Yuan's palm, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, the smile on his lips suddenly solidified in the next moment.

Because he saw that Zhou Yuan's outstretched palm did not move at all. His violent power roared out, but it was like rushing into a black hole without any reaction.

"How is that possible?!" Pei Yun said in shock, his face changed drastically, and he felt something was not good.

Zhou Yuan looked at Pei Yun, whose expression changed drastically, with a sneer on his lips. Now that he had access to the second meridian, his physical fitness had been greatly enhanced. Even those with the third meridian could not compare with him.

The palm of his hand that held Pei Yun's fist slowly tightened. It was as hard as an eagle's claw. The force became stronger and stronger, making Pei Yun feel like his fist would be crushed.

"Open the three meridians!"

Pei Yun looked horrified, gritted his teeth and roared.

The three meridians in his body suddenly vibrated, absorbing the source energy between heaven and earth, and a tyrannical force suddenly burst out from his body.

However, just when he was about to break free from Zhou Yuan's shackles, Zhou Yuan also suddenly made a move. No, it should be a kick. He could only see that the wind on his legs was sharp, and there were traces of source energy on the soles of his feet, and he swung it as fast as thunder. On Pei Yun's chest.

"get out!"

boom!

A low voice sounded, and Pei Yun suddenly felt an indescribable force coming in. Even if he activated the three meridians to absorb the source energy, he could not contend with that force.

As a result, his body flew out of the martial arts stage in a panic at this moment, fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The sounds around the martial arts stage immediately fell silent at this moment, and everyone stared at this scene in stunned silence.

The fight between Zhou Yuan and Pei Yun was too fast. They had only seen Pei Yun rushing towards Zhou Yuan before. Before they could react, the next moment, Pei Yun, who rushed out with great momentum, was directly kicked by Zhou Yuan. Martial Arts Stage…

How terrifying is this kick? !

Everyone around the martial arts stage looked at Zhou Yuan as if they had seen a ghost, because they knew very well that this time, Zhou Yuan did not activate any source pattern power.

Therefore, that kick was entirely the power of Zhou Yuan's body.

But with this kind of physical quality, even a person with three meridians can’t compare, right? !

When did their Highness, who was said to be unable to open his pulse, become so strong?

Su Youwei also covered her red lips with her beautiful hands, her pretty face was full of disbelief. She had never understood why Zhou Yuan was so confident before, but now, she understood...it turned out that Zhou Yuan had been hiding his clumsiness!

On the high platform, the smiles on the faces of Qi Yue, Lin Feng, and Liu Xi, who were originally waiting to watch a good show, solidified at this time, and their faces became ashen.

This change was really beyond their expectations. (To be continued)
