1054 Words
"Second rank of Foundation Building?!" the elders and teachers exclaimed all at once. He completely surpassed their expectation! Zi Yingjun have fully exceeded his mother's achievement! The bastard they thought is actually a genius. This is a great slap on their face. They never payed attention to Zi Yingjun and even tried to bring him down. No wonder he always looked at his classmates in a languid way because he thought of them as fools but he never said anything. No wonder he never listens to his teachers because he can rely on himself. On the other side, even Zi Ming Yun was surprised. A second-rate talent reaching Foundation Building first that first-rate talents, isn't that shameful?
"Yingjun's in Foundation Building?" Zi Yan Yue was astounded.
"So that's why he survived." Zi Qing He thought on the other side. She have a powerful demon beast but she only made a cut on him that is not too severe. He's realm saved him from that deadly strike. If he's still in Qi Refinement, he would have been crippled or even dead.
"That's fast. He caught up with me in just few weeks." Ye Zen contemplated. It took him months to reach the second rank but Zi Yingjun only need a couple of weeks. "No, not right. The dantians he devoured, it helped him advance! Zi Yingjun, you're this selfish, huh. I wonder who will you kill next."
"Ye Zen should have figured out." Sovereign Hei said in Zi Yingjun's thoughts. He floated in the dantian before lying down as if a bed is under him. "Boy, can you just kill him for me? His dantian is equal to ten second-rate talents. You only need thirty dantian for the next rank."
"My old man wouldn't like it." Zi Yingjun answered back and rushed to Ye Zen. The young boy ahead him is his father's disciple. Ye Huai must have something planned in his mind.
Ye Zen evaded. He floated backwards but Zi Yingjun moved very fast and kept lashing the sword. Only a silhouette of blue green color appeared because of his speed. Zi Yingjun leapt up and dragged the blade down to Ye Zen. However, azure blades formed in front of Ye Zen to block Di Shi. Unexpectedly, the blades broke to half and was corroded by a black miasma. Ye Zen was stunned. He quickly used Bai Steel as the stage below him rose up. It stopped Zi Yingjun again.
"Sovereign Hei, any new Authority I can use?" Zi Yingjun waved the sword and the barrier broke. He already mastered two set of Authorities from Sovereign Hei. The Eye of Assassin and Enhanced Senses. A spiritual beast doesn't have one Authority. They have countless of them. But, the quality of the Authority still depends on the spiritual beast and how the user will execute it.
"There is since you're in the Foundation Building. Unfortunately, it will destroy your dantian a bit. Your qi as of now is not enough." Sovereign Hei formed a grin. Zi Yingjun scoffed in return.
"I know a method to restore the dantian." Zi Yingjun took the risk. After all, he must win this small competition. He have to know the foundation of Zi Clan by entering the treasury. In that way, he can rob them all.
"Alright. This is called Chaos Pellet." with a flick of his sleeve, the Authority was sent to Zi Yingjun's hand. A black mark appeared on the back.
"One-time use." Zi Yingjun looked down to his hand. The ways to use the third Authority entered his thought and the risk of it as well. He is in the Foundation Building but his level is not enough. In each level, the storage of qi in the dantian expands. But his current level is the problem. The qi needed to execute Chaos Pellet is of great amount but if he can replenish his qi quick, his dantian will not be damaged.
"I'll use my Authority and defeat him right away. He should know righteousness is above devils." Ye Zen thought and watched Zi Yingjun stand there in silence. He suddenly placed his hand behind his back. Ye Zen raised a brow at this. What is Zi Yingjun doing? Either way, he has to take him down before Zi Yingjun can do anything else. "Aurora."
With the word said, a colorful light appeared above him and turned themselves into countless strings. They surrounded Ye Zen in a circular motion. He narrowed his eyes on Zi Yingjun. Ye Zen raised his palm and the colorful strings of light quickly went to his opponent.
"Heh." Zi Yingjun finished replenishing his qi. Suddenly, black dots with purple hue started appearing on the stage. Ye Zen looked around and he is surrounded. The black dots slowly enlarged to pebble-size. "Chaos Pellet!"
The Chaos Pellets exploded at the same time. Ye Zen's Authority were destroyed easily. The stage was unable to hold on and completely fell down the ground. This intense fight caused everyone to hold their breath. In no time, the dusts cleared and one silhouette is still above the ground.
"W-who lost?"
"Did Zi Yingjun lose?"
"He backfired himself?"
Their speculations stopped once Ye Zen appeared. He is still on the horizon but was badly injured. Ye Zen gritted his teeth in pain. The wings behind him cracked and broke into debris as he fell down. Headteacher Zi Lao Shui made a move and caught Ye Zen on time.
On the other hand, they noticed a pillar of ice in the middle. Soon, they saw Zi Yingjun sitting above the pillar. He have few bruises and his uniform was a bit scathed. However, compared to Ye Zen's state, he is ten times better off.
"The champion of Winter Exam, Student Zi Yingjun!" Headteacher Zi Lao Shui announced after handing the unconscious Ye Zen to the medicine elders.
There was silence when a girl stood up. "Cousin, you're the best!" Zi Yan Yue shouted first. The others were reluctant when almost all girls of the academy cheered next.
"Young Master Yingjun is the best!"
The male students face-palmed but some of them also joined. However, the elders of Zi Clan were not even rejoicing. The memory of the past emerged from their mind. On how Ye Huai rained chaos over them.
