I have a role in the heavens

"Besides, it's already this time, and I can't retreat, otherwise it will be a huge blow to my reputation!"

Zhou Yuan gently patted the back of Su Youwei's hand with a firm expression. As the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he sometimes cannot retreat. He needs to consider the majesty of the Great Zhou royal family. He can be defeated, but he cannot be a coward. What's more, He is sure of winning this battle.

With everyone watching, Zhou Yuan stepped onto the martial arts stage and stood opposite Xu Lin. He was very impressive and elegant. He was worthy of being the protagonist, but his performance was completely different from that of Xu Lin, who played a minor role.

Xiao Yuanyan had a strange look on his face, and his heart was full of contempt for Xu Lin. Didn't he know that the more joyful you dance, the more miserable your death? The Zhou family has declined, but that is compared to the Dawu Dynasty. After all, King Zhou Qing is still a strong man in the Taichu realm, and he can easily kill all the Xu family.

"Oh, Your Highness actually dared to come. I thought you would sneak back to the palace."

Xu Lin looked at Zhou Yuan who was walking in front of him with a smile, with a joking look on his face, and continued with bad intentions.

"I didn't expect that even His Highness would be so angry as to be a beauty. It's just a little irrational."

Zhou Yuan didn't waste any more words. He stretched out his legs like an old tree grasping the earth, then waved to Xu Lin and spoke.

"Let's start, you can attack first!"

Zhou Yuan's performance and reaction made Xu Lin secretly angry. There was a bit of coldness on his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light. He made up his mind. He must take this opportunity today to give him a good beating. After all, the opportunities for His Royal Highness to teach Zhou Yuan a legitimate lesson are not many, and can even be said to be once in a thousand years.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Yuanyan's bright eyes, and he looked at Zhou Yuan's arm hidden in his sleeve. His powerful soul sensed a mysterious power, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a bit of a smile. He suddenly understood. What does Zhou Yuan rely on? He murmured to himself.

"As expected of the protagonist. Even if the holy dragon's aura is swallowed up, his soul is still far superior to ordinary people. He can actually carve the source pattern on the body. He is a genius in cultivating the source pattern."

Although Zhou Yuan succeeded in carving the Iron Skin Pattern in class, he only carved the Origin Pattern on the jade plate. If you want to carve source patterns on the body, you must be familiar with the location of human acupuncture points and even meridians. Only in this way can you avoid being harmed by the source patterns. Therefore, it is several times more difficult to carve source patterns on the body than on a jade plate. .

While other students could not successfully carve the Origin Pattern on the jade plate, Zhou Yuan was able to carve the Origin Pattern on his own body, showing his spiritual aptitude far beyond ordinary people. He was indeed blessed with great luck. The protagonist.

Xiao Yuanyan showed a faint smile on his face, and the arms in his sleeves shone with a faint light, exuding a mysterious aura, which was vaguely similar to the aura on Zhou Yuan's body. Apparently, he also carved the source pattern on it. There is definitely more than one source pattern on his body. After all, in terms of soul talent, Xiao Yuanyan is confident that he is definitely not inferior to anyone.

The students who were watching in the audience did not have Xiao Yuanyan's keen perception and insight. Seeing Zhou Yuan being so trusting, they looked at each other. Zhou Yuan was clearly the weaker side, so why were they so arrogant? Aren't they afraid of being defeated by Xu Lin with one blow? Losing face?

"Since Your Highness wants to be embarrassed quickly, I won't be polite."

Xu Lin was impetuous. Seeing Zhou Yuan despise him so much, a ball of anger surged in his heart. He completely forgot that something was abnormal and must be a fraud. He sneered and stamped his foot on the ground. His figure was as fast as a sharp arrow. He shot out, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and punched Zhou Yuan with one punch. This punch stirred up the airflow and was so powerful that even a large bluestone would be hit with a crack.

Faced with Xu Lin's powerful and heavy punch, Zhou Yuan did not dodge or evade. He raised his arms and crossed them in front of him in a defensive posture, and he collided head-on with Xu Lin's fist.

The faces of the students watching in the audience showed unbearable expressions. Xu Lin was a source master who had opened two channels. Such a powerful punch was enough to break Zhou Yuan's arms.

"Boom!"

A low muffled sound echoed in everyone's ears. To everyone's expectation, although Zhou Yuan was knocked back several meters by Xu Lin's punch, he was not injured at all.

"ah!"

Then a miserable sound came from the mouth of the aggressive Xu Lin. He screamed and held his fist. The whole fist was red and swollen. The punch just now seemed to hit him. On top of the fine steel, the bones in the general's hand were shattered, and severe pain surged into his heart, making him unbearable.

Everyone was stunned, with their mouths wide open and their eyes widened, wondering if they had seen it wrong. The strength gap between Xu Lin and Zhou Yuan was huge, and it shouldn't be like this.

"What are you hiding up your sleeve? Despicable!"

Xu Lin was so painful that tears flowed out. He glared at Zhou Yuan with a look of pear blossoms and rain, which was a great contrast. Extremely interesting, he asked Zhou Yuan.

Everyone also had strange expressions on their faces, and they all speculated whether Zhou Yuan was cheating and using tricks, otherwise how could Xu Lin suffer such a big loss.

Zhou Yuan looked around, and all the faces showed doubts. This was what he expected, but when his eyes glanced at an ordinary-looking Xiao Yuanyan, the other person's reaction was different from ordinary people, with a calm look on his face. He paid attention for a while, then withdrew his gaze and slowly lifted up his sleeves. There was a complex light pattern on his arms. The light pattern exuded a faint black light and spread, finally covering Zhou Yuan. His arms were like black iron, extremely hard.

"Do you really think that because I haven't opened my pulse, I don't have the power to restrain a chicken?"

Zhou Yuan saw everyone's expressions of surprise, and glanced at Xiao Yuanyan in the audience again. His reaction was still dull, as if he had expected it, which made him tremble and thought secretly.

"Xiao Yuanyan is different from Xu Lin. He is a true cultivation genius. Not only is he fast in opening pulses, but he is also quite talented in the source pattern. He even surpasses me. I can carve the source pattern on my body, so he should be able to. If you do it, no wonder you’re not surprised at all!”

Xu Lin's face was ashen and he stared at the iron skin patterns on Zhou Yuan's arms. Although he was surprised by Zhou Yuan's talent in the Origin Pattern, he was still angry and said in a cold voice.

"Don't you really think that you can win me today with just an iron skin pattern? Now I will let you see the difference between those who have opened their pulses and those who have not!"

"Open the pulse!"

Xu Lin shouted loudly, and saw a subtle stream of light suddenly appear around him. The dust under his feet was swept away. The source of energy from heaven and earth flowed into his body along with his breathing, and his robes suddenly bulged. , hunting sound. There was a faint light emerging from the surface of the skin, and the whole person's aura surged. The source energy in his body flowed along the meridians, causing his speed, strength, and physique to undergo transformation and improve a lot.

When Zhou Yuan saw this, a solemn look appeared on his face, but before Xu Lin could take the initiative to attack, he turned his back and struck preemptively. With a move of his feet, he rushed towards Xu Lin who was opening his pulse.

"Arrogant, you haven't opened my pulse, your speed and strength are far inferior to mine, yet you dare to take the initiative to attack, you really overestimate your capabilities!"

Seeing this, Xu Lin showed a mocking look on his face again, and said sarcastically in a cold voice.

"Yeah?"

Zhou Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth. He dared to take the initiative to attack. He naturally had something to rely on. He was not dizzy. As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared on his bare feet, and faint lines of light could be seen spreading out. This was a sign of light body. Pattern, he suddenly felt as light as a swallow, his speed surged, and he rushed towards Xu Lin like a cheetah.

Before it was over, Zhou Yuan rushed in front of Xu Lin, raised his arm high, and punched out. A faint light appeared on his body again. The strength in his fist surged, and the air flow surged, leaving everyone stunned. This It was exactly the bull pattern that the middle-aged lecturer asked the students to draw yesterday.

Zhou Yuan's soul was powerful. In a short period of time, he activated three source patterns. His speed, strength, and physical fitness were no weaker than Xu Lin's. With one punch, Xu Lin's body was directly blasted away. It fell on the ground outside the martial arts stage.

Outside the martial arts stage, the original noise became silent at this time. Many boys and girls stared at Zhou Yuan on the stage with incredulous eyes. Except for Xiao Yuanyan, no one thought that Zhou Yuan could defeat Xu Lin. This performance is really shocking.

Xiao Yuanyan stood up and glanced at Zhou Yuan, who was standing on the stage, showing his impressive appearance for the first time. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and left the martial arts arena quietly, no longer watching Zhou Yuan shine.

On that day, the news that Zhou Yuan defeated Xu Lin with his unopened strength spread quickly, making Xu Lin the laughing stock of the entire Zhou Dynasty. He could no longer raise his head and behave like a man, and even dared not provoke Zhou Yuan, the crown prince. After all, losers have no human rights. No matter how arrogant they are, they will only be regarded as barking dogs.

In a pavilion in the distance, a figure in white shirt was looking down at the martial arts stage, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said lightly with a playful expression on his face.

"I didn't expect that His Highness would have some attainments in the Origin Pattern without even knowing it!"

"After all, the Origin Pattern is just a small path. No matter how profound your attainments are, you still can't transform yourself. Your lifespan is limited, and even ordinary people can be killed by one careless move."

A tall girl walked out from behind Qi Yue, looked at Zhou Yuan who was making a big show of himself, with a look of disgust on her face, and said coldly.

This girl is the daughter of Liuhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her name is Liu Xi. She comes from a noble family and is somewhat related to Zhou Yuan. She also looks pretty and delicate, but her lips are a bit thin and she looks a bit mean. Compared to Su Youwei, she looks a bit mean. Some flavor.

A few years ago, Zhou Qing noticed the growth of Prince Qi's palace and wanted to check and balance it. Therefore, he planned to put the weight on Liu Hou and proposed the idea of ​​​​getting married. He planned to let Zhou Yuan make a marriage contract with Liu Xi, the daughter of Liu Hou. Deepen the relationship between the two families.

Liu Hou was a little hesitant about Zhou Qing's proposal. After all, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in decline, and Zhou Yuan could not open his pulse. Liu Hou loved Liu Xi very much, so he asked his daughter what he thought.

Liu Xi was a proud and arrogant woman. She believed that Zhou Yuan was just a useless person who could not open his pulse. She refused the marriage without hesitation. She even spread the word that Zhou Yuan was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, which made Zhou Yuan a joke. Seeing this, Marquis Liu refused the marriage.

Although this matter has long since passed, Liu Xi still hates Zhou Yuan and looks down on him. Even if Zhou Yuan defeated Xu Lin, in her eyes, he is still a toad who overestimates his capabilities.

When Qi Yue heard this, a faint proud smile appeared on his face. He agreed with Liu Xi's words and said with a smile.

"In this major exam, almost all the top-ranked students have taken refuge with me. Even if His Highness has figured out some tricks on the path of Origin Patterns, he won't be able to stir up any trouble!"

"But that Su Youwei has amazing talent. He has already opened three meridians. His cultivation speed is extremely fast. He should not be underestimated. His future is limitless. If there is a chance, he needs to win over him!"

When Liu Xi heard that Qi Yue admired Su Youwei so much, a look of displeasure appeared on his mean face and he said disdainfully.

"She's just a cheap girl with three opened channels. If she can't be won over, just destroy her!"

Liu Xi was born into a noble family and was favored since she was a child. She is quite talented. She is undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl in the Zhou Mansion. However, since Su Youwei appeared, many of her rays of light have been suppressed, which makes her full of enthusiasm for Su Youwei. Come hostility.

Qi Yue knew Liu Xi's thoughts clearly, smiled, and did not continue to talk about Su Youwei, but changed the subject and talked about another person.

"There is also Xiao Yuanyan. He is extremely talented and tyrannical. He is indifferent to my attempts to win over me. Fortunately, he is not close to Zhou Yuan and stays out of the matter. He has never been involved in the power struggle of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Liu Xi's mean and arrogant face also showed a somewhat solemn expression. She thought for a moment before speaking.

"Xiao Yuanyan is indeed different from others. No one knows how many channels he has opened, and he is very proficient in the way of source patterns. He is better than Zhou Yuan, which should not be underestimated. But fortunately, this person is quite self-aware and very knowledgeable. He has always If he walks alone, don’t pay attention to him!”

Hearing this, Qi Yue nodded and expressed his agreement. He also understood Xiao Yuanyan's character. He was withdrawn and indifferent, and hardly interacted with others. He was a lone wolf. Even if such a person has strong cultivation qualifications and tyrannical cultivation, it would not cause any harm to him. What kind of threat is it? If you can't provoke it, it's better not to provoke it.

"Zhou Yuan, the holy dragon of the Zhou family, has now completely become a useless dragon. It is probably because he has no hope that he wants to cultivate a genius like Su Youwei to rely on in the future. Unfortunately, he does not understand the truth that anyone They are all unreliable, the only thing a person can rely on is himself, it seems that the Zhou family is about to be doomed!"

King Zhou Qing and Queen Qin Yu only have one heir, Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan's destiny as a holy dragon was taken away, and there is still resentment dragon poison in his body that erodes his vitality. His lifespan is only three years at most. If he cannot change his destiny and open the eight meridians, Zhou Yuan will The clan will have no successors and will inevitably be swallowed up and eliminated by other forces.

The Da Zhou Mansion exam is about to start in two months. This exam is full of turmoil and undercurrents. There are many swords and swords in it. The competition for fame and fortune makes people dare not relax.

The head of the Da Zhou Mansion is Chu Tianyang, who belongs to the King of Zhou. The deputy head of the house, Xu Hong, has taken refuge with the King of Qi. When Zhou Qing established the Da Zhou Mansion, he decided to According to the rules, whichever house leader can maintain the first place in the government examination for three years can run for the house leader.

Originally, Chu Tianyang's Academy A was the strongest, but later, with the support of King Qi's strong financial resources, Xu Hong continued to win over outstanding students. As a result, Academy A, which was originally the strongest, has been replaced by Academy B in the past two years. suppress.

In Da Zhou Mansion, Qi Yue continued to coerce and lure outstanding students who appeared in Da Zhou Mansion at a very high price. Once these students pass the major exam, they will directly choose to enter Xu Hong's B College. After the major exam, there will be the government examination. In the past two years, the overall quality of the students in B College has surpassed that of College A, and they have won the first place in the government exam twice. If Winning the first place again this time, Xu Hong had an excuse to launch an attack and seek to seize the position of palace master.

Once Xu Hong becomes the master of the palace, then the Great Zhou Palace will probably fall into the hands of King Qi, and the outstanding talents that continue to emerge will be intercepted by King Qi. For the royal family Zhou, this is simply cutting bones and poaching flesh.

Moreover, this will also make many wait-and-see forces think that the Zhou family has declined and can no longer fight with King Qi, and will most likely defect to King Qi. This is a devastating blow to the Zhou Dynasty.

In the inner hall of the palace, Chu Tianyang, the master of the Great Zhou Mansion, frowned, his face full of bitterness, and reported the current situation of the Great Zhou Mansion to Zhou Qing, the King of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, more than half of the outstanding students who participated in the college entrance examination this time have been attracted by Qi Yue. If this situation cannot be prevented, I am afraid that the second hospital will win the first place again in the government examination half a year later!"

Zhou Qing was dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a resolute face and a majestic look between his brows and eyes. There was a rising aura behind him, like fire and thunder, making a low roaring sound. It's just that his right arm is empty, it's actually a broken arm. This was fifteen years ago, when he fought with King Wu and his arm was cut off. He was almost defeated. His Taoist heart was dusted, and his realm dropped from the eighth heaven of the Taichu realm to the third heaven. , has not been able to recover so far.

Zhou Qing listened quietly to Chu Tianyang's report, his face was livid, and there was murderous intention in his eyes. The atmosphere in the entire inner hall was heavy, giving people a feeling of depression. He was silent for a long time before he asked.

"There is still half a year left for the government examination. Who has the best chance of winning the government title this time?"

"This year's Dazhou Mansion has produced some good talents, but the most outstanding among them is probably Qi Yue from the Second Academy. He has now opened the sixth meridian."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes became more murderous, but in the end he restrained his murderous intent. After all, King Qi's strength was not weak, and he had the support of the Wu Dawu Dynasty behind him. If the war started directly with swords and spears, even if the Zhou family could win , Dazhou’s years of recuperation and recuperation have all been in vain. When the time comes, internal and external troubles are likely to completely destroy the country. King Qi must eradicate it, but it needs to be done step by step. The current Dazhou can no longer withstand any turmoil. .

"Qi Yue? King Qi's son is really outstanding!"

Zhou Qing's face was as gloomy as water, and his teeth were itching with hatred, but he couldn't rip off his face directly, he still had to make concessions and plan slowly.

"But this is not absolute. There are even more outstanding talents than Qi Yue in Da Zhou Mansion. If you can enter the First Academy, you should be able to compete with Qi Yue in the Mansion Examination in half a year!"

Chu Tianyang showed hesitation on his face, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.

"who is it?"

There was a hint of surprise on Zhou Qing's face. He didn't expect that in such a twists and turns, the Great Zhou Mansion would actually have such a genius, even better than Qi Yue, whom King Qi had trained with all his strength for many years.
