Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 218 The Ancestor's Worries, The Vermilion Bird's Remains
"what is that?"

"It looks like a set of magical armor."

All eyes were on Zhou Haoyu, who had now completely transformed into a fiery demonic shadow.

Huge, fiery wings appeared on his back, and deep red magic patterns appeared on his armor. The flames on his body spread rapidly like waves of air.

In an instant, countless scorching flames almost covered the entire island, turning it into a battlefield of fire.

On the island, Zhou Haoyu, who was already fully armed, caught the crossbow bolt with his bare hands.

With the support of the Fire Phoenix Armor, Zhou Haoyu's physique was no less than that of a Grand Monarch, and he easily withstood the attack with both hands.

As for the fire power that it carried, it was instantly devoured by the Fire Phoenix Armor!

Zhou Haoyu's Void White Flame is only at the Soul Seed level, while the flames attached to the Fire Phoenix Armor are at the top-tier Heaven Seed level, and may even surpass the Heaven Seed level!

However, with his current curse and fire abilities, he cannot unleash their full power.

Apart from the Space type, the Summoning and Lightning types have reached the second level of the Super-Tier, while the other types are still at the first level of the Super-Tier.

Zhu Meng's lightning and fire elements have both reached the second level of the super-tier, so he does not have an advantage in terms of cultivation.

Even so, after using the Fire Phoenix Armor, Zhou Haoyu's strength instantly soared to a higher level.

"This seems to be a cursed body-borrowing technique from our ancestral family?"

Zubo could hardly believe what he was seeing. Even with the facts laid out before him, he still couldn't be sure.

Their family has always regarded the curse possession technique as a closely guarded secret, and there is absolutely no possibility of it being passed on to outsiders.

Where did Zhou Haoyu get this from?

Most importantly, he not only secretly learned the curse-body-borrowing technique, but also dared to use it in public!
This is simply humiliating their ancestral family.

“Vice Chairman Zu Bo, your Zu family is really generous, even passing on the curse body-borrowing technique to outsiders.”

The old patriarch of the Mu clan looked at Zu Bo with a smile, but his eyes revealed a hint of sinister intent.

Could the Zu family be colluding with the Zhou family?

Zubo is not only one of the heads of the Zu family, but also the vice-chairman of the Magic Court.

"Haha~~"

Zubo did not reply; his face was terribly gloomy.

The current Zhou Haoyu is someone the Zu family can't afford to offend, and there's no evidence that he stole the knowledge.

Similarly, Zu Huanyao's expression was also unpleasant. He didn't have a good impression of Zhou Haoyu, but he didn't hate him either.

But after seeing Zhou Haoyu use the cursed body-borrowing technique, he even wanted to eliminate this hidden danger with his own hands.

Zhou Haoyu learning the Curse Body Borrowing Technique alone wouldn't affect the Zu family; what worried him was that Zhou Haoyu would pass the technique on to others.

Once the curse of using physical techniques is made public, the very foundation upon which their ancestral family stands will be destroyed.

"Clan Chief Zhou Xian, may I ask what secret technique your young master is using?"

Zu Huanyao's gaze fell on Zhou Xian, who was not far away, and he asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"Maybe it was picked up from somewhere, or maybe it was something you made yourself."

When Zu Huanyao asked him questions, Zhou Xian immediately replied with an answer that he knew nothing.

As long as they don't admit it, there's nothing this guy can do.

"Found it."

Zu Huanyao's face twitched. You can find such a secret technique? You try finding one for me.
Although everyone present knew this was a cursed body-borrowing technique, no one mentioned it.

Zhou Haoyu has a contract with the Black Dragon Emperor, so they can't afford to offend him.

"The captain is actually using a cursed body-borrowing technique here."

Ai Jiangtu was secretly surprised. Although he had already mastered the Curse Body Borrowing Technique, he had hardly ever used it.

He only dared to use the cursed body-borrowing technique when no one was around.

The Curse-Borrowing Technique, a closely guarded secret of the ancestral family, can greatly enhance the user's strength.

In addition, the sacrificial armor given to him by Zhou Haoyu makes him comparable to a legitimate monarch after use.

"Twelve Thunder Punishments!!" Zhu Meng was already covered in a suit of thunder armor, which was also his transcendent power.

Although it can't compare to Zhou Haoyu's Fire Phoenix Armor, it still significantly improves defensive capabilities.

As Zhu Meng's voice fell, twelve Thunder God Halberds plummeted from the sky, their target Zhou Haoyu below.

"Heavenly Thunder of Return to Nothingness!!"

"Forbidden Boundary - Return to Nothingness!!"

Zhou Haoyu instantly canceled the Fire Phoenix Armor on his body, replacing it with endless lightning power.

Aside from spatial magic, lightning magic is his strongest type of magic!

Since the Thunder Seed advanced, Zhou Haoyu has used the Returning Void Heavenly Thunder to devour a number of Soul Seeds, increasing his power by fifteen times!
With the addition of twice the Divine Seal Praise, the Heavenly Thunder of Returning to the Void can unleash thirty times its power!

Even a level 3 lightning mage cannot match his destructive power!
The moment the forbidden zone appeared, the Thor's Halberd, which had not yet fallen from the sky, was suddenly swallowed up by a special space.

The lightning element that Zhu Meng had gathered vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

"Heavenly Seed Forbidden Realm!!"

Zhu Meng's pupils contracted; his soul seed was already quite top-tier.

But the moment Zhou Haoyu's Heavenly Seed appeared, he felt absolute suppression, without the slightest resistance.

All the surrounding lightning elements were swept away, and he couldn't even cast a basic spell.

"I lost."

Zhu Meng knew there was no point in continuing the fight; his lightning and fire elemental attacks had been completely suppressed.

If other legal systems are used, there is even less chance of winning.

[Opening conditions: Satisfied.]

【Opening.】

[Obtained the remains of Suzaku.]

"They actually found this thing."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Haoyu's eyes. Based on his past experience, he should have obtained something like a fire-type celestial seed or a magical artifact.

Unexpectedly, the remains of the Vermilion Bird were unearthed.

Adding to the small bone that was previously suspected to be a remnant of Suzaku, perhaps we can try to revive Suzaku.

"Accepted."

Zhou Haoyu cupped his hands in greeting to Zhu Meng, showing no arrogance after his victory.

From beginning to end, Zhou Haoyu never regarded Zhu Meng as an opponent; he only considered him as someone who could open the treasure chest.

Zhu Meng simply grunted an "Mm," and then flew away.

Although he had expected to lose to Zhou Haoyu, he still felt quite embarrassed after actually losing.

He actually lost to a junior.

"Zhou Haoyu, you need to give our Zu family an explanation."

Just as Zhou Haoyu was about to leave, Zu Huanyao, Zu Bo, and the others surrounded him, looking at him with hostile eyes.

"What explanation do you need to give to your Zu family?"

Zhou Haoyu remained calm. He earned the offer through his own abilities; it was none of the Zu family's business.

If he weren't strong enough, he would need to keep his abilities hidden, but there's no need for that now.

"What you just used was clearly our ancestral curse body-borrowing technique!"

Zubo said with a cold face.

"Don't insult my noble soul with your skeptical eyes."

"This is something I figured out myself, and it has nothing to do with your ancestral family."

Zhou Haoyu's tone remained unyielding.
