Two years of accumulation made Zhou Yuan's whole person look full of weight.
His aura is also full of intimidation, which comes from the pressure of a strong man. If ordinary people looked at him, they would probably be terrified.
In two years, in addition to repairing the three Taoist platforms in his body to make them crystal clear, he also erected two more Taoist platforms.
His current cultivation level has impressively reached the fifth level of foundation building.
If this were placed in the outside world, it would definitely be shocking if Zhou Yuan reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in two months.
"Huamei, does he have a technique to hide his cultivation?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Huamei crossed her slender arms with a look of disdain on her face, "The technique to hide one's cultivation is not a precious thing. It can be found anywhere, including in the Seven Stars Academy where you are."
"The Academy Treasure Pavilion still needs points and tokens to redeem. Who would spend money if it's free?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows.
thrush:"……"
So, Zhou Yuan and Huamei walked down the Endless Tower and came to the Martial Palace.
Huamei raised his hand, and a yellowed small book called "Qi Shen Shu" flew over.
Zhou Yuan reached out to take it, opened it and took a look. The content of the Qi Sinking Technique is very simple. It can sink the breath into the Dantian. If it is not intended, it will not be released easily, and others will not be able to see it.
Zhou Yuan read it once and quickly wrote down all the contents.
It is not a good thing to progress too quickly in cultivation. In this world, people's hearts are sinister. Hide some strength so that others cannot see through you, so that others will not dare to target you easily.
After staying in the Linglong Realm for a few more hours, Zhou Yuan completely understood the Qi Sinking Technique. Under the operation, the breath in his body was suppressed by him to the third level of Foundation Establishment. Then he changed his mind and returned to the outside world.
The mansions where the inner disciples live are all engraved with magic circles.
Whenever the disciple goes into retreat, he can consume some spiritual stones to activate the magic circle.
Once the magic circle is open, outsiders cannot forcefully break in. Only those whose strength reaches the level of Elder Star and Vice Dean can break the magic circle.
Of course, if someone breaks into it, the fluctuations in the magic circle will also be transmitted inside, allowing the retreating disciples to sense it.
Before Zhou Yuan entered the Linglong Realm, he activated the magic circle in an attempt to deceive others, but he could not sense the fluctuations in the magic circle.
Therefore, when he walked out of the room, he found that the door of his mansion had been smashed into pieces, and the magic circle would occasionally tremble.
The next moment, Zhou Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was obvious that someone was harassing me during my retreat.
He immediately closed the magic circle and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he heard a shrill scream.
Outside the door, in an area not far from Zhou Yuan's residence, there were groups of people standing in twos and threes, looking in the same direction as if they were watching the excitement.
There, there was a young man in his early twenties, who raised his foot and stepped on the chest of a young man, with an arrogant expression and a ferocious gaze.
The boy who was trampled on the ground had his mouth full of blood and looked in pain.
"It's been ten days. If you don't come out, Zhou Yuan, I will beat up those who are close to you one by one." The young man's voice was extremely arrogant and passed through the mansions.
Zhou Yuan frowned. If he hadn't been in Linglong Realm in the past two months, he would have heard such provocations long ago.
He had never seen that young man, but the young man at his feet was an inner disciple who was relatively close to Yunchen and was also a friend of Zhou Yuan.
The other party is using this method to force themselves out of seclusion.
"stop."
Just as Zhou Yuan was about to walk out, on the other side, two tall women with outstanding looks ran over quickly, with a young man in gold robe behind them.
The women are Nangong He and Su Ruobing, and the young man in golden robe is Yun Chen.
"Let him go." When Nangong He and Su Ruobing saw the boy being stepped on, they immediately stepped forward to help him.
Snap! Snap!
The young man who was stepping on the boy flipped his hand and slapped him in the face. Nangong He and Su Ruobing were unable to resist at all, and were slapped away in an instant.
The young man struck fiercely, and the two women flew more than ten feet away. Their pretty faces were red and swollen, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, and they fell unconscious.
"Qiu Kong, you dare to hurt my prince, are you tired of living?" Yun Chen pointed at the young man, frowned, and shouted loudly.
The young man named Qiu Kong looked at Yun Chen, "Your Highness, if you let Zhou Yuan come out, I will stop taking action, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? Do you still want to attack this prince? How many heads do you have?"
Yun Chen frowned.
He can only suppress the other party as the prince.
This young man named Qiu Kong has a cultivation level of at least the seventh level of Foundation Establishment and is very strong.
And he, Yun Chen, has ordinary qualifications and shallow cultivation. He has been stagnant at the third level of foundation construction for many years, even worse than the third prince Yun Zheng.
Therefore, upon hearing the scolding, Qiu Kong grinned ferociously.
"Your Highness has a body of ten thousand gold. As a prince, how dare Qiu Kong take action against you? But if Zhou Yuan doesn't show up again, then those people close to him will all suffer. I don't care if they are the prince's people or not.
"
"You..." Yun Chen was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Even when facing Prince Yunchen, Qiu Kong still did not hide the contempt in his eyes, and his tone was even more unscrupulous and threatening.
But his goal was to target Zhou Yuan. As long as he didn't take action against Yun Chen, his guilt would be light.
"Zhou Yuan, it's been ten days, do you still want to be a coward?" Qiu Kong stepped on the young man's chest again, causing the young man's chest to dent, and he opened his mouth to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
For ten days, he harassed Zhou Yuan's residence to no avail, so he chose to beat people. He had already injured many people, and several inner disciples who were close to Zhou Yuan and Yunchen were all suffering terribly.
"You are so unscrupulous, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
At this moment, Zhou Yuan stepped over.
Everyone onlookers were shocked and looked at Zhou Yuan. After two months, Zhou Yuan finally appeared.
"Zhou Yuan, are you out of seclusion?" When Yun Chen saw Zhou Yuan, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
Qiu Kong also turned his head, looked up and down, and said with a ferocious smile: "You are Zhou Yuan. After waiting for you for so long, you finally came out."
"I've never seen you, what do you want from me?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Qiu Kong pointed at himself, then pointed at Zhou Yuan, and said with an arrogant expression: "I, Qiu Kong, want to challenge you, do you dare to accept the battle?"
"Only you?"
Zhou Yuan suddenly dodged and slapped Qiu Kong with his palm.
Qiu Kong was startled and quickly raised his hand to block.
Bang!
Qiu Kong suddenly felt as if he was hit by a mountain, and his body suddenly retreated several feet.
Zhou Yuan knelt down, lifted up the young man injured by Qiu Kong, and put a blood-clearing pill into his mouth.
Seeing that the young man only suffered some external injuries, Zhou Yuan felt relieved. Then he looked at Qiu Kong in the distance and said, "If you challenge me, you think too highly of yourself."
As early as two months ago, he had defeated all the invincible opponents in the inner sect and became the true number one in the inner sect.
Nowadays, there are still people who dare to challenge me. The other person obviously doesn't know how powerful he is.
Qiu Kong's expression changed after he was repelled. He obviously underestimated Zhou Yuan's strength, but he was not afraid. Instead, he sneered: "Since we have come out, we will meet at the life and death arena."
With that said, he turned around and left.
However, before he could take two steps, a shadow appeared in front of him.
"Not everyone is qualified to compete with me in the arena of life and death. Are you worthy?"
Zhou Yuan smiled coldly, and then clapped his hand.
