Dragon prince Yuan [1]

Chapter 20: Genesis Technique

"Better than a two channel opener?!"

Zhou Yuan's and Qin Yu's eyes involuntarily opened wide when they heard Zhou Qing's words.

"Master Cang Yuan did not lie. Although it is more difficult to open my channels, the benefits are indeed greater." Excitement flooded Zhou Yuan's eyes. From his father's evaluation, it seemed that the quality of his body was even higher than a two channel practitioner and far surpassed normal one channel practitioners.

If he added in the Genesis Runes he knew, in terms of battle power, even a three channel practitioner might not be able to defeat him.

"If I master the Tiger Roar Rune, victory will practically be ensured as long as I don't encounter a four channel practitioner." Mumbled Zhou Yuan in his heart as a wave of happiness washed over him. His hard work over this period had indeed achieved rather pleasing results.

Most importantly, this had given Zhou Yuan hope, a hope that he could continuously climb till the day that he would be able to change everything.

Zhou Qing's eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at Zhou Yuan. The only arm he had was extended as he heavily patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder while the latter could see unconcealable excitement and hope in the former's eyes.

"Yuan'er, You've done very well!"

Zhou Qing's voice was somewhat shaky at this moment, and even his eyes had become red. "King Wu believed that stripping you of your sacred dragon blessing would plunge our Zhou clan's sacred dragon into an endless abyss, but from the looks of it, he has underestimated you!"

Zhou Yuan's mood fluctuated somewhat as he gazed at the emotional Zhou Qing. The former knew that the years where he had been unable to open his channels had caused his father's lofty aspiration to be slowly and cruelly grinded away by reality, while his father's heart had perhaps also started to despair.

Reality had made Zhou Qing unable to see even the slightest hope.

The Great Zhou Empire was at death's door, while the Great Wu Empire grew increasingly prosperous and powerful. He knew that once the deadline of king Wu's vow arrived, Great Zhou would have to welcome its end.

Now however, at the very moment when Zhou Yuan opened his meridian channel, the despairing Zhou Qing had finally seen a glimmer of light.

Even if this glimmer was still extremely faint, Zhou Qing believed that there would eventually come a day when this glimmer would transform into a great blazing sun. The fires of revenge would thoroughly incinerate Great Wu, taking back everything that Great Zhou had once lost.

Currently, Great Wu was waging war against two other nearby empires and could not spare any attention to Great Zhou. Hence, this was the best time for Zhou Yuan to grow.

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath, pushing down the emotions in his heart. He knew that there was still an immeasurable gap between him and Great Wu. Thus, he needed to pull back his sights from such a distant place.

What he needed to do now was to enter the A class through the newcomer exam and ultimately ruin Qi Manor's scheme targeted at the position of Great Zhou Institute headmaster.

"Practically all of the hopefuls for the top ten spots in the newcomer exam have the strength of four channels. I may be unafraid of any three channel practitioner, but my chances against a four channel practitioner are not great." Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered. To make certain that no mishaps would occur, he needed to improve again in the time before the newcomer exam and unblock his second channel.

As long as his second meridian channel was opened, Zhou Yuan would have nothing to fear. It was likely that he would have some chance even if he encountered the one who was said to have the best odds at first place, Lin Feng.
