Chapter 96: Zhou Yun Shows Weakness
Under the gaze of Jian Xin, Zhou Yun began his first actual battle after breaking through to the mid-stage foundation establishment.
He had been trying his best to lower his combat power and hide his true strength. However, he did not expect that with just a light punch, this seemingly extremely tough inner sect disciple’s spiritual corpse would actually be smashed into pieces!
The flying debris even destroyed a few of the inner sect disciples’ spiritual corpses!
“Are these spiritual corpses actually very weak? Did Jian Xin choose a weaker spiritual corpse to test my strength so that I wouldn’t get hurt?” Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought that this might be the arrangement of Jian Xin. After all, he was an important heaven’s pride expert. It was inevitable that they were afraid that he would get injured!
Zhou Yun retracted his fist and looked at Jian Xin. In the next moment, he was disappointed. That was because he did not see Jian Xin’s calm expression. Instead, he was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He looked so shocked!
“Shit, it seems like even if I’m hiding my strength, I’m still unimaginably powerful.” Zhou Yun had miscalculated. He really didn’t expect that he would succeed in making a breakthrough in another direction through the system this time. Moreover, his strength had increased to a terrifying extent!
Zhou Yun looked forward and saw a huge, fan-shaped canyon in front of him!
The canyon was tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters long. A fan shape spread out from it towards Zhou Yun!
The head of the spiritual corpse that had been sent flying by Zhou Yun’s punch was instantly crushed into powder! The remaining four limbs were sent flying backward due to the terrifying force!
The corpse of the inner sect disciple’s spiritual corpse was thrown back at a speed several times faster than when it had come. It was like a bowling ball, hitting the spiritual corpses standing far behind it. Just the aftershock of Zhou Yun’s attack had created a few more massive craters!
With just one punch, he changed the terrain and shattered gold to split open a mountain!
“I, I really failed to break through to the mid-stage foundation establishment. Senior Brother Jian Xin, you also saw it. At that time, I was possessed by the devil, and my whole body was burned by the fire spiritual energy. I was on the verge of death, and I had to rely on my will to break through successfully!” Zhou Yun felt that he needed to redeem himself! although he had only used a little strength, he could still hide his strength! he could still be saved. He was very weak!
“You see, I broke through by force. And now I’m injured, I’m about to vomit blood!” Zhou Yun patted his chest and tried to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. However, because his body was too strong, he could only let out a few dry coughs!
“I don’t want to hear your explanation anymore.” Jian Xin used his hand to close his mouth, which had opened wide in shock. He would never believe Zhou Yun’s words again!
“Look at the aftershock of this attack. You created a valley with a single punch, is this something a foundation establishment cultivator can do? Even when I was at the perfection of the late-stage foundation establishment, I had to use all my strength to unleash an attack like this!” Jian Xin said loudly. This was the first time he felt that someone was asking for a beating. You’ve clearly become so powerful, but you’re still pretending to be weak?
“Yes, yes, yes! I also used my full strength! I don’t have any spiritual energy left in my body!” Zhou Yun circulated his spiritual energy. His lips slowly turned white as he tried to act as if he was lacking in spiritual energy. But halfway through, he suddenly realized that after being reborn, he had sufficient energy and blood, and his whole body was full of strength. When he pretended to fall to the ground, he subconsciously supported himself with his hand, and accidentally broke a huge rock beside him into two!
“I… Cough, cough, cough. I’m so tired. Senior Brother Jian Xin, can I stop my combat practice for today?” Zhou Yun realized that he seemed to have really become too strong. Before he could recover, his every move could cause a huge attack!
“You little brat.” Jian Xin laughed bitterly. He had finally realized that Zhou Yun seemed to have his own dharma opportunity. He had found a better way to break through during his breakthrough and became even stronger.
Jian Xin laughed. Zhou Yun was fine and had even become stronger. Naturally, he was happy.
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, congratulations on becoming stronger again. It seems like you’re indeed a prodigy that Venerable Xunling has taken a liking to. How could a mere deviation stop you? ” Jian Xin congratulated.
Zhou Yun scratched his head. This time, it was his mistake. He had not been able to control the great power he had gained after his breakthrough, causing half of his original plan to fail.
However, Zhou Yun did not give up. After all, he could still continue to hide! He had already become a monstrous existence, but the other party still thought that he was just a heaven’s favorite. This disguise of being a heaven’s favorite was not bad.
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, since you have successfully broken through, we will not only use the middle-grade spiritual corpses of inner disciples in the following combat training. We will use the corpses of the direct disciples to make high-grade spiritual corpses to fight you. Please be very careful. Su Lingyun, who was at the perfection of the late-stage foundation establishment, also died with hatred at the hands of three spiritual corpses.” Jian Xin’s expression turned serious.
Zhou Yun nodded. He also looked at the high-grade spiritual corpse with a serious expression.
Jian Xin looked at Zhou Yun worriedly. He was really afraid that Zhou Yun would be accidentally injured or even killed by the high-grade spiritual corpse. His most beloved Su Lingyun had also died because of this. He really did not want to see Zhou Yun die here as well.
However, the remnant soul of Jian Xin gave him a red order that forced him to order the high-grade spiritual corpse to attack Zhou Yun!
Zhou Yun looked at the twenty high-grade spiritual corpses that were slowly moving with a serious expression!
These spiritual corpses were very agile, completely different from the spiritual corpses he had seen in the past. They were like living people! Moreover, he was actually holding a weapon that he had used when he was alive. Not only their physical bodies, but these spiritual corpses could also use the weapons and spiritual spells they had used when they were alive!
The spiritual corpse’s physical body was already almost invincible to begin with, but now it could even use spiritual spells and sword techniques. This was an enemy that was almost like a cheat!
It was no wonder that Su Lingyun, who was once invincible under the golden core stage, died in the hands of these high-grade spiritual corpses!
Zhou Yun furrowed his brows even more seriously. He was extremely flustered!
He was afraid that he might accidentally kill these spiritual corpses!
“What should I do? Although I was very careful with my first punch, I didn’t notice that my spiritual energy was already fifty times that of an ordinary person! Even if I’m very careful, that punch just now used more than twice the spiritual power of an ordinary person!” Zhou Yun finally found the reason why his punch was still so powerful despite being so careful!
He had to hide his strength now. Therefore, the strength he displayed must be equal to or even weaker than the high-grade spiritual corpse in front of him!
The best state was when the other party just happened to be beating him!
Zhou Yun reduced the flow of the majestic spiritual energy in his body. He had to be very careful with his punch so that he would not kill the high-grade spiritual corpse in an instant!
If he revealed too much of his strength, the heretic cultivator behind him might not be able to hold back and come out!
Zhou Yun still did not have much confidence in defeating a golden core cultivator!
“Boom!” a high-grade spiritual corpse stomped its feet and a huge pit that was several meters wide appeared on the ground. Its body was like a shooting star as it charged toward Zhou Yun!
In an instant, his figure arrived in front of Zhou Yun with the sword in his hand!
