Chapter 16: Furious Enough to Vomit Blood

Hey, you still look down on Young Master Lin's phenomenon? If you've got the guts, open a Heaven Earth Meridian yourself and surpass Young Master Lin's.

That's right, Lu Xun, you won't just be all talk, will you?

Lin Yan's two lackeys were extremely arrogant, their faces full of mockery, as if they had already seen Lu Xun's sorry state.

Just as the words fell,

Above the phenomenon caused by Lin Yan, another layer of Heaven Earth phenomenon appeared.

Just moments ago it was clear skies, then suddenly wind and clouds surged, fierce winds rose between heaven and earth, amidst rolling dark clouds, gusts of storm burst forth like wind dragons roaring, roaming between heaven and earth.

This is...

My goodness, he actually managed to open it?

Lin Yan's two lackeys were shocked and lost color, the mockery on their faces freezing instantly.

This Heaven Earth phenomenon, compared to the one Lin Yan just caused, is superior in both scale and momentum.

How could this be?

On the high platform, Lin Yan jumped to his feet with a 'teng', his face full of disbelief.

He had just opened the Red Yang Meridian, summoning a Heaven Earth phenomenon, and was feeling full of vigor.

As a result, Lu Xun, in the next second, triggered a Heaven Earth phenomenon with greater scale and momentum, instantly making his achievement look dim and lackluster.

"Nine Heavens Dragon Dance, Wind and Cloud Fury"—this must be the Boundless Wind Meridian! What a grand display, is it Lu Xun?

Beside the principal, a school leader's eyes gleamed as they looked toward Lu Xun.

The students surged again, flowing from the playground into the small grove.

"It's not Lu Xun; the phenomenon was caused by Wang Tengyun of Azure Cloud Academy, who is said to have opened the Boundless Wind Meridian."

A piece of news spread quickly.

"Azure Cloud Academy? It's a school jointly run by several major families."

This news left the school leaders feeling disappointed.

Unlike public schools like Rong Cheng No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools, Azure Cloud Academy is a private institution practicing elite education, which ordinary people cannot enter.

Rather than calling it a school, it's more like an independent organization jointly run by prominent families, dedicated to cultivating the next generation.

For ordinary people, going there isn't necessarily a good thing, unless they are born with a talent for being lackeys.

"Wang Tengyun? It's him, then it's fine—the Wang Family possesses a Five Boundaries Grand Master, so nurturing such a genius is no surprise."

This news eased Lin Yan's mindset.

Wang Tengyun comes from a family that possesses a Five Boundaries Grand Master; it's only natural that he's stronger than Lin Yan.

As long as Lu Xun, this grassroots love rival, doesn't surpass him, it's fine.

"Wang Tengyun? The phenomenon covers half of Rong Cheng; the Wang Family has indeed produced a qilin child, but he still can't compare to my Wan'er."

On the other side, Murong Zhan also saw the Heaven Earth phenomenon.

He only saw one layer.

The phenomenon caused by Lin Yan was too small in scale for Murong Zhan to notice.

At this moment,

Around Murong Wan, an invisible ripple was released.

Immediately after,

Above the high heavens, gorgeous seven-colored rosy clouds appeared, immense in magnitude and vivid in color, instantly overwhelming the Heaven Earth phenomenon caused by Wang Tengyun.

The seven-colored rosy clouds scattered like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, filling the entire sky as if dyeing the whole world in seven colors.

Even a hundred li away from Rong Cheng, just looking up one could see it.

"Success!"

"Wow, Little Aunt opened a Heaven Earth Meridian!"

The members of the Murong family burst into cheers.

"My heavens, three layers of phenomenon!"

"This is so exciting, today is a bit too lively!"

"The first layer is said to be students from Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School, the second layer people from Azure Cloud Academy, who is the third layer?"

At this moment, the threefold Heaven Earth phenomenon above Rong Cheng has no idea how many people it has startled.

"Another layer of phenomenon has appeared—could it be Lu Xun?"

"Not really; it's somewhat like the phenomenon Murong Wan previously caused."

At Rong Cheng No. 1 Middle School, many teachers and students were in an uproar.

"It must be Murong Wan, definitely not him; it's absolutely impossible for it to be him."

On the high platform, Lin Yan kept telling himself.

【Murong Wan opened the Exquisite Meridian, the host gains tenfold the harvest from Murong Wan's meridian opening.】

【The host will open the Heaven Earth Meridian, unable to fully conceal the phenomenon, will release part of the phenomenon.】

In the small grove, Lu Xun had just seen the Heaven Earth phenomenon caused by Murong Wan when the system's tenfold return arrived as scheduled.

A surge of heat, greater than before, entered his body, traveling along his meridians several times before suddenly rushing toward a void.

"Buzz!"

Within Lu Xun's body, a Heaven Earth Meridian rapidly formed.

The Heaven Earth Meridian bears the words 'Heaven Earth' because this meridian can communicate between heaven and earth and oneself.

Therefore, even the system finds it hard to forcibly conceal the Heaven Earth phenomenon.

"Huh?"

The person nearest to Lu Xun, Li Bu Fan, sensed the abnormality.

When the Heaven Earth Meridian opens, the body communicates with heaven and earth, producing an intangible fluctuation.

"Lu Xun, you've opened the Heaven Earth Meridian?"

Li Bu Fan was overjoyed.

The next moment, another phenomenon appeared in the sky.

Only seen, above the seven-colored clouds, mist suddenly piled up, as if transformed into the primordial chaos at the dawn of heaven and earth; there, one green lotus after another leapt out of the chaos, vying to bloom.

"A four-layer phenomenon—someone else has opened the Heaven Earth Meridian!"

"Lu Xun, it's Lu Xun!"

"What, this layer of heaven-earth phenomenon was caused by Lu Xun?"

"Impossible!"

The students' exclamations made Lin Yan blurt out, "Impossible!"

The four layered heaven-earth phenomena overlapped, making the sky become magnificently splendid.

Moreover, because Murong Wan's heaven-earth phenomenon was too dazzling, Lu Xun's heaven-earth phenomenon, on the contrary, was not easy to discern its extent.

But, anyone with a clear eye could see at a glance that Lu Xun's heaven-earth phenomenon far surpassed Lin Yan's.

How could Lin Yan accept this!

"Chaos... green lotus... what kind of heaven-earth phenomenon is this?"

"This is a brand-new phenomenon—good, Lu Xun truly is heaven-endowed talent!"

The headmaster was overjoyed.

Some phenomena they could name, some they could not.

The heaven-earth phenomenon caused by Lu Xun, they had never even heard of.

Even though its scope was not as great as Murong Wan's, the sight of green lotuses blooming in the chaos was so captivating that it actually suppressed Murong Wan's phenomenon.

The headmaster felt that Lu Xun must have opened a brand-new, extraordinary Heaven Earth Meridian.

Thus, this year No. 1 Middle School has produced two Heaven Earth Meridians.

Its fame far surpasses that of No. 2 Middle School.

"What, it's really him?"

"Yes, young master, it is indeed Lu Xun."

"Pfft!"

"Young master, young master..."

On the high platform, Lin Yan, who had refused to believe, after receiving the definite news, his heart burned with anger, adding to the internal injury from earlier forcefully rushing the meridians, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
