C1638 Top of the Line
Zhou Yan was thin, his face was yellow and skinny, his body was extremely weak, his clothes were tattered, and he carried a sword box on his back, looking somewhat miserable.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Zhou Yan frowned and questioned.
Zhou Country Academy was the best place to learn in the entire kingdom. Other than the king and the royal family, no one was allowed to trespass into the academy, not even the Zhou Country's princes.
"Humph!"
The white-robed youth glanced at Zhou Yan with disdain, and said arrogantly: "I am the prince of Zhou Country, titled Zhou Yan. You are just a mere commoner, how dare you pretend in front of me? Hurry up and retreat!"
"So you're Zhou Yan. You really are arrogant." Zhou Yan sneered: "But, who do you think you are? What right do you have to stop me from entering the palace?"
Zhou Yan's personality had always been low-key, but he was definitely not a soft persimmon, much less a loser who would submit to his will.
At this moment, he did not hide his disgust and hatred as he scolded Zhou Yan without any hesitation.
"What did you say?" Zhou Yan's attitude immediately made him furious. His eyes were extremely cold as he said, "Bastard, you actually dare to insult me? Do you want to die?"
"Insult you?"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly as his gaze turned even colder. His voice was indifferent as he said, "Zhou Yan! All of this is just because of your vanity! Everyone here knows that you are the bastard of my parents. Your mother is a lowly prostitute and she is dead! "
Zhou Yan's eyes were cold as he looked at Zhou Yan with a trace of disdain.
All these years, Zhou Yan had grown up in the countryside and hadn't studied for many years. Naturally, he didn't have much literary talent or self-restraint. In terms of words, he was far inferior to these young masters of aristocratic families.
However, Zhou Yan was not a fool.
Although he did not know Zhou Yan's identity, just from those few words, he could guess that this person should be the son of one of the princes of Zhou Country. Furthermore, his status was not low. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain the Palace Token, let alone participate in the examination and enter the Sky Desolate Sect.
"Bastard!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's sarcasm, Zhou Yan was completely enraged. He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead popping out, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"* Rumble! *"
In an instant, the air exploded, and a storm of Yuan Qi fluctuations swept out from Zhou Yan's body. It was as vast as an abyss and as majestic as a mountain.
At this moment, Zhou Yan seemed to have transformed into a ferocious beast that was ready to devour anyone. His entire body emitted a sharp aura that made people feel intimidated.
"Nine-star Body Tempering Martial Expert!"
"This brat has actually broken through to the Nine-star Martial Expert Realm?"
Seeing this, the surrounding bystanders all exclaimed in admiration as they stared at Zhou Yan with envy and jealousy.
A Nine-star Body Tempering Martial Master... This kind of strength could be considered one of the top in Nanling County.
As long as he didn't die prematurely, he would definitely become a super existence that could suppress an area in the future.
Furthermore, in Nanling County City, a Nine-star Body Tempering Martial Master was just an ordinary position. In the Sky Academy, he wasn't even qualified to be a student!
"Hmph, no wonder you dared to provoke me."
Looking at the cultivation that Zhou Yan had displayed, Zhou Yan was also stunned. However, he immediately snorted coldly and said in a cold tone, "But you are still just an ant!"
"I want to see who dares to stop me today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly stretched out his right arm and grabbed the guard beside him.
"Swish ~"
The guard reacted quickly. He immediately unsheathed his blade and blocked in front of him. With a flash of his blade, he shattered Zhou Yan's palm.
"* Crack! * A wound appeared on Zhou Yan's wrist, dripping with blood.
"* Gasp! * Zhou Yan sucked in a breath of cold air.
At that moment, he felt as if his fingers had almost been sliced off. The pain was unbearable.
"Humph!" The guard snorted coldly and took out the chain again, preparing to tie Zhou Yan up again.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, another guard rushed over and stood in front of Zhou Yan, staring coldly at the guard.
"Scram!"
The guard shouted coldly as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, today I want to see who the hell is going to scram!" The guard also pulled out his sword and started fighting with the guard.
"Bangbangbang!"
The two of them instantly began to fight. Saber light surged and sword light flashed. Each move contained a terrifying power that would shock anyone who saw it!
At this moment, the people around them all retreated, not daring to get even half a step closer.
"This is Zhou Country's captain, Chen Ming."
"He is at the peak of the Eighth Rank of the Martial Warrior and is only a step away from becoming a Martial Master. It is said that he has already cultivated his sword techniques to perfection and has defeated a Fifth Rank Martial Disciple..."
Many people whispered to each other as they looked at the two people fighting in awe.
The fight between the two was too fierce. It was like two thunder clouds hitting each other. Electricity was flying everywhere and sparks were flying.
If it were anybody else, they would be trembling in fear.
"Hmm? What's your name?"
At this moment, Zhou Yan turned around and looked at the young man behind him with a puzzled expression.
"Qin Yang," Qin Yang said indifferently. He did not feel the slightest bit of fear even though Zhou Yan's cultivation was higher than his.
On the contrary, Qin Yang rather admired this Zhou Yan.
This was because of Zhou Yan's tall and sturdy figure. His entire body was filled with vigorous brute force as his punch was akin to a hammer smashing an egg.
With such a physique, if he were to cultivate a body forging technique, it would definitely be twice as effective. It might even be possible for him to break through to the Seven-star Body Tempering Martial Disciple Realm in one go.
However, the strength of a Body Tempering Martial Disciple was far too weak and useless.
"Qin Yang?"
Zhou Yan was slightly taken aback before he came to a sudden realization.
Wasn't this the Qin Yang from Zhou Yan's memories?
Ever since he was young, Zhou Yan had been abandoned in a remote village. Growing up alone, he was only taken away by his father when he was six years old.
In Zhou Yan's impression, Zhou Yan's father seemed to be called Zhou Yan, which matched the young man in front of him quite well.2
However, the young man in front of him was even more handsome and noble than Zhou Yan remembered. He had the appearance of an elegant young master, giving Zhou Yan a strong sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity.
"What a coincidence, my surname is also Qin." Zhou Yan smiled and patted Qin Yang's shoulder. "After all, we both have the same surname!"
"That's right." Qin Yang smiled faintly, but his gaze fell on the guard. "May I know your name?"
"Humph, my name is Qin Lin." Qin Lin frowned and said with a gloomy tone, "I advise you to be honest. Your cultivation base is only at the fourth-layer of Body Tempering Realm, you are no match for me. If you keep talking, I will cut off your tongue."
Qin Lin's words were filled with a threatening tone.
Hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Qin Yang.
After all, Zhou Yan was the son of the duke, and this Qin Lin was just a guard. If he really angered Zhou Yan, he was afraid that it would cause a tragedy.
