Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 281 - 177 Zhou Yuanchen: How could you understand the bond between us!

Chapter 281: Chapter 177 Zhou Yuanchen: How could you understand the bond between us!

The overwhelming pressure of being the hot favorite to win the Top 100 Tournament is truly terrifying!

Qin Shi’s gaze slightly tightened. In his perception, Zhou Yuanchen’s momentum was exceedingly majestic, almost connected to the heavens, akin to a towering snowy peak that has remained unchanged for millennia, radiating waves of freezing coldness that could chill everything.

"From spirit to physique, both have been honed to perfection. No wonder the Central City Education Department has set their sights on him and pushed for his rise as a Supernova!"

His steps halted as he ascended the stairs. The Cultivation Furnace operated autonomously, enveloping his entire body in rich brilliance, erupting into a substantial crimson flame.

Almost in an instant, Qin Shi unleashed his Life Force to the extreme, sending air currents swirling and his windbreaker flying backwards, while the Perfect Level Electric Shock Saber buzzed vibrantly.

"The successor of Nanhuang Daoist School... His performance exceeds the ratings given by the Ying family."

Zhou Yuanchen also squinted his eyes, seemingly perceiving a threat, and thought:

"Ji Yuqi’s single palm depleted my insurance coverage by six hundred thousand. To regain full recovery and peak condition will cost a significant amount. Fighting this kid again, the cost of overcoming this Copper Mountain would undoubtedly increase.

Even having money shouldn’t be spent like this!"

His gaze flickered, lowering his hostility slightly, planning to reach the "peak" for the final battle and meeting the Ying family’s conditions.

Thus, he said:

"Qin Shi, the core area isn’t only you and me. Zheng Xu, along with the siblings Xia Hong and Xia Ying, haven’t reached here yet. How about we conserve our strength and save the fight for later?"

Is this a truce?

Qin Shi furrowed his brows. Although Zhou Yuanchen took a hit, his injuries were not severe, and he maintained a good state. Yet, he straightforwardly proposed a ceasefire?

After pondering for a moment, Qin Shi nodded lightly:

"I’ve heard endlessly about Senior Zhou’s legendary deeds. Everyone says you are the most diligent and outstanding graduate of recent years from Qiguang Heng University, always top of the Virtual Combat Room points leaderboard. Since Senior Zhou has no desire to make a move, I won’t exploit your misfortune.

This Copper Mountain itself is a test, let’s compete here for the highest!"

Zhou Yuanchen laughed and held his head high:

"You walk the Limit-Breaking Road of Old Martial arts, indeed your physique is strong, but this Copper Mountain has deep demonic nature. The more lively the flesh, the easier it is to attract its ’attention’. I advise you to be cautious, don’t end up being targeted like Ji Yuqi!"

His gaze covered Qin Shi, discovering that this high school student, for some unknown reason stirring Ying family’s ire and suppression, had incredibly surging Life Force, almost filling his muscles and bones, interwoven into glittering brilliance akin to clouds.

"Truly a monster! This mortal body alone is worth ten billion!"

Zhou Yuanchen felt a pang of envy. With such talent, he wouldn’t be in debt so much.

"His Spiritual Power is also terrifyingly strong, traversing two paths... No wonder he is seen as a thorn in the side by the Ying family. Making enemies with such a gifted youth, if he grows up in three to five years, could bring grave trouble!"

On the vast waist of Copper Mountain, the two appeared small like ants. After several mutual glances and sighs of "the other is truly fierce", they chose to continue climbing in peace.

This hot favorite doesn’t seem like the type with extraordinary talent and apparent abilities. With my Divine Residence Inner World’s keen senses, I couldn’t see anything unusual.

Qin Shi rested slightly, restraining the boiling and surging activity of his flesh. This Copper Mountain seemed like a living thing; the stronger the physique and the more surging the life force, the easier to be "noticed" and attract the remaining will of Gromax.

He looked up at Zhou Yuanchen, who likewise sat cross-legged, healing his wounds, feeling a bit odd.

Usually, talents almost reaching the threshold of Specialized Level have their skills and traits already unmistakably evident.

For instance, Ji Yuqi and Pei Han, their physiques are either solid, capable of enduring and striking, with rapid recovery; or their muscle coordination and recruitment speed are particularly outstanding, facilitating cultivation of corresponding materials.

But Zhou Yuanchen gave Qin Shi the impression of having average values in various aspects, merely well developed and thoroughly excavated.

"High level but not excessively exceptional values."

Qin Shi concluded.

These miscellaneous thoughts flashed by momentarily. He muttered to himself, not delving deeper.

No matter what abilities Zhou Yuanchen relies on to become the Education Department’s endorsed Supernova.

One undeniable fact: he is a formidable adversary!

...

...

"Pei Han! Ji Yuqi! What’s happened to you?"

At the "foot" of the mountain, a tall figure rushed over.

Pei Han weakly said:

"Zheng Xu, can’t you see? Old Ji got beaten, and I, well, I got exhausted climbing and tumbled down."

The tall man named Zheng Xu wore a black jacket, wide-leg cargo pants, with wolf-tail short hair, his gaze filled with aggression, giving off a rebellious vibe.

He chuckled:

"Both took a tumble against Zhou Yuanchen? I heard he’s not afraid of soloing Specialized Level opponents, really tough. Pei Han, call me ’brother’, and I’ll avenge you later, how about it?"

Pei Han scoffed:

"Climb up and get kicked to death by Nanhuang Daoist School’s successor, then you’ll realize. Qin Shi fought his way from the outskirts to here. I remember your Zheng family cooperates with Ying family, besides you, there’s Zheng Jun, right?

Considering our acquaintance, listen to a piece of advice, Zheng Xu, don’t provoke Qin Shi. That kid has keen senses, like a cicada feeling autumn wind. If you show any hostility, he’ll certainly strike hard."

Zheng Xu grinned, shook his head, and said:

"Pei Han, you’re getting increasingly feeble. You’re well-known at Qiguang Heng University, yet you fear a wet-behind-the-ears high school student."
