Chapter 149 Reverse Scales
The disciples around looked at Hong Yuan and were a little stunned.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Hong?"
"Why did you go crazy all of a sudden?"
"What did that outer disciple say that could make Senior Brother Hong so angry?"
When Hong Yuan heard the discussion of the disciples outside, he felt even more depressed. He stretched out his hand to disperse the sound-isolating formation, and stepped in front of Zhou Shu, blocking Zhou Shu's way.
He glared at Zhou Shu angrily and said word for word, "Say what you just said again!"
Zhou Shu looked at him quietly and said nothing.
The disciples looked at the two of them. They didn't know what happened, and they didn't dare to say anything. There was silence.
"You don't dare to speak anymore? You just spoke so loudly that no one heard you, but now you don't dare because you're afraid that no one will hear you?"
Hong Yuan's eyes were like knives, gouging Zhou Shu's body back and forth. If there weren't several law enforcement disciples watching around him, he would probably be so angry that he would take action.
"I'll help you."
Zhou Shu smiled faintly, then turned to the disciples who didn't know what was going on, "Within one year, I, Zhou Shu, will challenge Hong Yuan and step over him to enter the inner gate!"
The tone was calm and steady, but with undoubted power, it spread out from the quiet square and could be heard clearly by the entire Xichenyuan.
The surrounding disciples were stunned. They looked at Zhou Shu and then at Hong Yuan, and then the pot exploded. Noisy discussions surged up like a tide.
"An outer disciple actually challenged Elder Shen's direct disciple. Did I hear correctly?"
"And it's the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm and the early stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. It's simply unreasonable!"
"What happened just now? I'm so curious!"
"I think senior brother Hong Yuan will not pay attention to him at all, and only treats it as nonsense."
"Okay, okay!" Hong Yuan didn't expect that Zhou Shu would say this after leaving the soundproof circle, and he laughed angrily, "It turns out that it's not a lie, Zhou Shu, you are either stupid or ignorant."
He almost stood in front of Zhou Shu and shouted loudly, "Okay, I'll wait for you. Even if it's ten years, let alone a year, you can't defeat me and enter the inner gate! I want to see how an outer gate like you can defeat me."
Disciple, how did you defeat a genius like me!"
Zhou Shu looked directly at him without giving in at all, "Very good, you'd better keep my things within one year, and I will definitely get them back."
The few words exchanged between the two made the atmosphere around them even more heated.
"Senior Brother Hong Yuan actually agreed!"
"We can watch the joke then. Senior Brother Hong Yuan is a real genius who has opened two hundred and eighty-nine energy channels in the Qi Refining Realm. He is destined to be a pill-forming existence in the future, and he has already understood the meaning of the sword and dealt with an outer disciple.
, a piece of cake.”
"If you challenge Senior Brother Hong, you don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. It's not worthy of pity if you die on the stage."
"Who is Zhou Shu this time? I seem to have never heard of him. He is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm. He is like a small fly shaking a big tree."
"No matter who he is, he is looking for death, but what exactly are they talking about?"
Listening to the words of the disciples, Hong Yuan felt a little better, and the anger on his face gradually faded away. He glanced at Zhou Shu contemptuously, "Since you are looking for death, I will satisfy you."
"hehe."
Zhou Shu stopped looking at him and walked straight to the door. Li Aojian and Zhu Dashan looked at each other, with a lot of unusual excitement in their eyes, and quickly followed.
Hong Yuan snorted coldly, seeming to feel that he was a little embarrassed just now, and quickly disappeared into the crowd without using Bully Feng again.
The square was noisy for a while, and all the disciples went to their respective miscellaneous halls. The hall where Zhou Shu and others were was soon filled with people. These disciples stayed away from Zhou Shu and others, for fear of causing any trouble, and they would talk to each other from time to time.
Zhou Shu pointed and said various mocking words.
Only Li Aojian and Zhu Dashan stood beside Zhou Shu, talking in low voices.
Zhu Dashan asked curiously, "How did you write those words? Is the sword technique so magical?"
Zhou Shu nodded, "Well, after control, the Urgent Rain Sword Jue can do this."
When Hong Yuan was showing off in the air, he emitted sword light and first concentrated his spiritual power to frighten Hong Yuan. When Hong Yuan was confused and whereabouts, he dispersed his spiritual power and, under the guidance of the sword formula, formed those big characters:
Cover up your actions.
This requires complex and precise spiritual power control, which only Zhou Shu can do, but others present can't even see it.
Only with such control would he take action against Hong Yuan. Otherwise, if he was really considered to have hurt someone, the result would be difficult to predict. He rarely does such things where he cannot control the outcome.
Li Aojian looked at Zhou Shu with a rather suspicious expression, "Xiao Zhou, why are you so impulsive today? It's not like you at all?"
"That's the right thing to do. If you don't like it, take action. Good challenge! It'll be my turn next time." Zhu Dashan clenched his fist and expressed his support for Zhou Shu.
Li Aojian shook his head and said very worriedly, "Xiao Zhou, didn't you see me challenging Yu Wuji last time and deliberately learn from me? This is different. Yu Wuji didn't understand the sword's intention, and I don't think he could understand it either.
, I have a great chance of winning as long as I establish the foundation and then comprehend the sword intention, so I challenge it. But this Hong Yuan has already comprehended the second-level sword art and sword intention. Even if you reach the foundation establishment level within a year, you will still be able to win.
If you understand the sword intention of Urgent Rain, I'm afraid you won't be your opponent."
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "I understand this."
It is true that Hong Yuan's cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, but his strength is definitely above Wuji. After all, a sword cultivator who has understood the sword intention of the second-level sword art is not comparable to ordinary sword cultivators.
Li Aojian sighed, "Hey, if you need any help, please let us know as soon as possible. We can help you enter the inner door early, and maybe we can find a way."
"Hey, Lao Li, why are you sighing? This is not like you."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Aren't you just a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple who has understood the meaning of the sword?"
He looked into the distance, his eyes shining slightly, as if he had been prepared for it.
Li Aojian nodded seemingly understandingly, "Since you are confident, then don't say anything. But I still don't understand why you are so impulsive. Did he offend you?"
"Well, I've hit my bottom line."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Taking away what he worked hard for without permission is the bottom line.
Back in the mine, for a piece of mine, he wanted to snatch it back a hundred times before he was satisfied. Now it's the same with the bully wind. He worked hard against the two-winged monkey, but the thing he got fell into the hands of others. He worked hard to make wedding clothes for others. Why?
I can't bear it either.
If he had explained it well and begged Zhou Shu in advance, Zhou Shu would not have been so angry and might even sell the meat wings. He has never been a stingy person, even if it is a hundred times more expensive than bullying, as long as he is willing, he will still do it
He can let it go, but if he doesn't want to, no one else can take it away, even if it's a low-grade spiritual stone.
This is extremely bad and cannot be tolerated without saying anything.
In Zhou Shu's memory, a past event is covered in dust.
In the past world, he practiced painting for many years. In a competition, the masterpiece he spent several years painting was recognized by several senior masters in the industry. He was about to win the grand prize and become famous all over the world, but the final result
When it was revealed, he was dumbfounded.
The work that won the grand prize was indeed a painting by Zhou Shu, but his signature and seal were all gone, replaced by the name of another person, who was one of the masters who had evaluated the painting.
He was indignant, but those masters colluded to create public opinion, and almost everyone believed that the painting belonged to the masters, not him.
Zhou Shu went through all kinds of hardships, but not only did he not get back the copyright of his paintings, but he offended countless industry bosses. In the end, he could hardly even eat, and he lived in poverty for several years. His relatives, friends and loved ones left him, until he traveled to this world.
The world of cultivating immortals.
From then on, the incident of having his things taken away became a nightmare in his mind.
The reverse scale of the dragon will make you angry when touched. Once the bottom line is touched, it will arouse a strong rebound and the consequences are unpredictable.
He is very different from the usual Zhou Shu now.
