Chapter 174 The Golden Pool (1/2)
“I’ve actually gotten my name on the tablet?”
Zhou Yuan beamed as he gazed at the dazzling Saint Tablet in the sky, clearly rather surprised by this outcome.
Although he had taken the upper hand in the battle against Zhu Ying, he had been interrupted by Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest before he could properly defeat her.
But it seems that the Saint Tablet had still acknowledged that battle.
“Was it because the gap between our cultivation levels was too large?”
On the surface, Zhou Yuan was only at the initial Heaven Gate stage, while Zhu Ying was quasi Alpha-Origin, a tremendous disparity. Hence from a certain point of view, the battle itself could be considered a remarkable achievement.
Luluo was seething as she said, “Does this mean that I can’t even compare to you?”
She had lost to Zhu Ying, and Zhu Ying had lost to Zhou Yuan. Didn’t this mean that she was two levels below Zhou Yuan?
Zhou Yuan chuckled. “Relax, if we meet Zhu Ying again, you will definitely be able to take revenge as long as you’re on guard against her Genesis Beast trapping method.”
His words were not solely consolation. Once Luluo and Little Frost were linked, her strength would reach an astonishing level that was enough to kill ordinary Alpha-Origin experts.
Luluo gently bit down as she declared, “I’ll not let her off when I see her again.”
Her large eyes suddenly rotated, a wide smile emerging on her face as she looked towards Zhou Yuan’s shoulder where Tuntun currently was. “Hehe, good boy Tuntun. Are you the boss here?”
Tuntun nodded in a rather pleased manner.
Luluo’s eyes brightened. “Which is to say, you’ve taken possession of the golden pool?”
Tuntun seemed to realise something, its eyes now guarded as it stared at Luluo.
Zhou Yuan’s heart shook a little. He could also sense that Tuntun was quite a bit stronger than before. Could it be due to the golden pool?
“Good boy Tuntun, lend us the golden pool for a while okay?” Luluo’s large eyes blinked appealingly.
Tuntun shook its head.
“Petty!” Luluo glared at it.
By the side, Zhou Yuan rubbed his chin. He too wanted to have a look at the golden pool. It had not been easy for them to come here, and he naturally hoped to obtain a share of the blessings. However, Tuntun was clearly the boss here, so they needed to convince it somehow.
Zhou Yuan let out a dry cough, before he began to speak in a seemingly sincere and heartfelt manner, “Tuntun, don’t those bastards that ganged up on Yaoyao make you angry?”
Roar!
The hair all over Tuntun’s body began to stand up, an ominous glint appearing in its beady eyes as it growled.
“We are also very angry.” Zhou Yuan nodded. “But you saw it, right? There are quite a few of them, and if we want our revenge, we will also have to gather up more teammates while raising our strength.”
“Now look at the golden pool, it should be pretty beneficial to us if we are allowed to enter for a while. Raising our strength will enable us to better seek justice for Yaoyao against those guys, don’t you think so?”
Tuntun hesitated upon hearing this. It could feel that Zhou Yuan’s argument was rather reasonable. The previous clash against Wu Huang had taught it just how formidable the latter was.
After pondering for a few brief moments, Tuntun finally gave in and nodded.
“Hehe, Zhou Yuan is the best!” Luluo immediately cheered upon seeing this.
By the side, Zhen Xu was silent for a moment before he said, “Since Wu Huang and the rest have already withdrawn, I should also leave.”
He was pretty much a loner, while also being extremely prideful. Being saved once by Zhou Yuan was already weighing pretty hard on him, making him feel that he owed the latter a debt of gratitude. If he were to stay and partake in the blessings Zhou Yuan had basically single-handedly acquired for them, he would not know where to bury his head.
Zhou Yuan merely smiled when he heard this. ”Since you already owe me, would it matter whether it's once or twice.”
”Jiang Quan is tagging along with Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest, and will surely obtain various blessings, raising his strength. If you don't plan on falling behind, I advise you not to give up on this one.”
