Chapter 157: War God's Will

  God of War Will

  Inside the mansion, there were only seven people, seated separately.

  Liu Taibai, Longdaoshan, Ying Ling, Yuan Ji, Zhou Yuan.

  There were two more people, whom Zhou Yuan did not recognize. One was a young man standing behind Yuan Ji, who was the strongest among the twenty students of Fahwang Academy and also the only one who had reached the realm of Xianyao.

  Another person who was not familiar to Zhou Yuan stood beside Long Dao Mountain, but judging from his appearance, his status did not seem to be much lower than that of Long Dao Mountain. From his expression, Zhou Yuan could not see any sign of fear towards Long Dao Mountain.

  "This person's aura is majestic and powerful, their strength is extremely high, and their status shouldn't be low either. They're standing alongside the head of Longdao Mountain Institute without any fear, clearly they are also an absolute top-tier figure in the academy." Zhou Yuan thought to himself, constantly guessing at the identity of the purple-robed person.

  "Dong Chuan, it's been a long time since we last met, you look so indifferent!" The first to speak was actually Yuan Ji, and what he said was actually about the person that Zhou Yuan had been constantly guessing.

  "So his name was Dong Chuan! This name, I seem to have heard it somewhere before?" Zhou Yuan's mind was filled with some doubts.

  Dong glanced at Yuan coldly and said in a gloomy tone, "What's the point of saying these useless words? You be your own dean, I'll be my own instructor. We didn't have any interaction before, and those unpleasant things between us in the past didn't make us enemies, that's already good enough."

  Yuan Ji sneered and said, "Dong Chuan, have you ever thought of going to my Fa Wang Academy as a deputy dean? Why stay in Zhen Wu Academy as the strongest instructor?"

  Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that this Eastern Transmission was actually the First Instructor who was widely known within the Academy, the strongest instructor, and also Zhou Chao's master.

  "Dong said coldly, 'Fame and wealth have no meaning to me. Whether I'm the deputy head or not, it's all the same to me. There's no temptation at all. I live only to prove my own worth. And as for your charity, Yuan Ji, I absolutely won't accept it. You can just give up on that idea.'"

  Zhou Yuan secretly smiled, "It's said that Dong Chuan and Yuan Ji were once good friends when they were young, both liking the same woman. However, later on, Yuan Ji won her over, leaving Dong Chuan defeated. After that, the distance between them grew bigger and bigger. Although Yuan Ji wanted to regain their friendship, Dong Chuan instead grew to resent him. Over the years, even when they met, there wasn't much to talk about."

  Yuan Ji shook his head, showing extreme helplessness. "Forget it, after all these years, you're still like this, and I have no way to change you. Alright, Liu Yuanzhu, let's get back on track. This is the recently famous Zhou Yuan, right? The outside world says he's a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years. Now it seems that's indeed true. Just now, I also got to experience it for myself - even my Heart-Intimidating Technique didn't faze him. Truly remarkable."

  Yuan Ji's gaze gradually fell on Zhou Yuan, and a formless pressure descended upon Zhou Yuan's body.

  Zhou Yuan felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him, making it hard for him to even breathe. It was clear that Yuan Ji was secretly testing his strength.

  A surge of unnamed fire rose from Zhou Yuan's body, "You old thing, how dare you! You just used the Dizziness Technique on me to make me lose face, and now you're using Breath Suppression to oppress me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

  Zhou Yuan's eyes blazed with anger as he glared at Yuan Ji, who still wore a faint smile on his face, seemingly having done nothing. However, only Zhou Yuan knew that at this moment, Yuan Ji was exerting pressure on him through his aura.

  "Damn it, War God Scripture, open for me!!!" Zhou Yuan's mind roared with anger as he secretly activated the War God Scripture. This technique was an extremely powerful method left behind by the Ancient War God Emperor.

  The God of War is renowned for his combat prowess, being fiercely powerful and overbearing, never admitting defeat.

  Under the pressure of this breath, Zhou Yuan could no longer bear it, his heart moved, and so many spells were cast, but the War God Magic Classic was launched.

  "Invincible in battle, is the war god, for the war god, not yielding, not timid, all things can be conquered." In Zhou Yuan's innermost being, a sudden enlightenment rose, and at this moment, he had an even deeper understanding of the War God Magic Technique.

  A war god's will was flowing deep within his heart, allowing him to face the oppressive aura of Yuan Ji without fear or being overwhelmed, instead stirring up his fighting spirit even more.

  Breath suppression is a deterrent technique used by high-level practitioners against low-level practitioners. Although it does not involve any substantial attack, it can penetrate deep into the opponent's mind, exerting an intangible and essential pressure that can evoke the deepest fear in their heart, rendering them unable to muster any thought of resistance.

  After all, this is just a kind of mental oppression. Of course, if the boundaries are too different, high-level masters can also shock and injure low-level practitioners.

  Zhou Yuan was just a Lingkong Xuvu boundary, but this Yuan machine is likely to have long surpassed the law boundary and reached a deeper and more profound boundary.

  Pfft...

  Zhou Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, but his breath did not weaken, instead his fighting spirit surged upwards, the will of the war god stirring in his heart.

  Liu Taibai and the other three were greatly shocked by this scene.

  "Yuan Ji Yuan, you still won't stop, facing a younger generation, you've repeatedly made things difficult for him. This isn't the first time your Fahwang Academy has come to our academy looking for trouble!!" Liu Taibai slammed his hand on the table and stood up with a loud whoosh, his tone filled with anger.

  Now Zhou Yuan is his successor, the hope of the entire Zhenwu Academy, and the status in their minds is so high. However, Yuan Ji has repeatedly made moves against Zhou Yuan, and now he is even more shocked by Yuan Ji's aura. This time Liu Taibai was really angry.

  "ROAR!!!" Zhou Yuan let out a loud roar, and at the same time, the War God's Divine Art within him burst forth, dispersing all of the oppressive aura that Rong Huan had pressed down on him.

  Yuan Ji was shocked, "How is this possible? His aura... ...how can it be so intense? I feel a will to win that's unbeatable. It seems like the idea of a war god from ancient times. What's going on with Zhou Yuan? What kind of secret does he have?"

  Liu Taibai, Longdaoshan and others were also extremely shocked. Yuanji's aura suppressed Zhouyuan, invisible and intangible, if it wasn't for the person himself, it would be very difficult to detect. They only knew when they saw Zhouyuan spitting blood that he was bearing Yuanji's aura suppression. The difference in strength between the two was too great, and Zhouyuan could not withstand Yuanji's pressure at all.

  But just as Liu Taibai was about to make his move, Zhou Yuan suddenly relied on his own strength and shattered the oppressive aura of Yuan Ji with one blow. This move was truly shocking, and in the history of magic cultivation, such a thing had never happened before.

  At the moment when Zhou Yuan broke through the oppressive aura of the Yuan Qi, a powerful aura burst forth from his body, although it was extremely brief and Zhou Yuan immediately retracted it. However, even with Liu Taibai's group being incredibly strong, they still sensed it.

  "This aura... seems to be not of our era, but a will passed down from ancient times, a will that is invincible and refuses to yield..."

  "Great... a Zhou Yuan, even I couldn't suppress you with my pressure. You're truly an extraordinary young man. With such a genius, the True Martial Academy will surely rise rapidly within ten years. At that time, my Flashing Blade Academy and Southern Heaven's Gate Academy might be surpassed, and even those top-notch powers, the Hao Ran Sacred Sect, will be threatened. Taibai brother, you've really struck gold this time..." Yuan Ji smiled, his tone filled with envy.

  Liu Taibai coldly snorted, "If Brother Yuanji wants to make the Law King Academy rise, he can also cultivate his own talents instead of using some underhanded means to suppress Zhou Yuan."

  Yuan Ji also knew that he had just made a move to test Zhou Yuan, and he was in the wrong. He didn't plan to quibble, but instead smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be? I was just joking with my junior. Our Fahua Academy has many talents too. This is my successor, Ren Buming. Although his natural talent may not be as good as Zhou Yuan's, it's not much different either. Being able to reach the Xianyao realm at nearly thirty years old isn't bad either."
