Chapter 217 Genesis Mountain (2/2)

Swish!

A streak of light descended from the sky, coming to a halt above the peak. Genesis Qi took the shape of a cloud as Chen Yuan sat atop it, looking down from above at the numerous disciples.

His gaze seemed to pause slightly when it swept past Zhou Yuan location, before a deep voice sounded, “Since everyone is here, we will prepare to activate Genesis Mountain and begin the training.”

“Please wait teacher Chen, I have something to say.”

However, a sharp voice followed Chen Yuan’s.

Every gaze on the mountain looked over, and saw a young man stand up, his vicious looking eyes akin to a wolf’s.

“It’s Han Shan… as expected, he’s going after Zhou Yuan!” The sights of this young man caused numerous whispers to explode as gloating gaze after gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan.

There was no change in Zhou Yuan’s expression.

Chen Yuan glanced at Han Shan and slowly asked, “What is the matter?”

Disdain lifted from the corners of Han Shan’s mouth as he looked towards Zhou Yuan, cupped his fists together and said, “I want to challenge senior brother Zhou Yuan, because I feel that he is not worthy of being a first class disciple.”

According to the rules of the Cangxuan Sect, disciples had to defer to each other based on their rank, irregardless of age. Zhou Yuan was currently a first class disciple, hence why Han Shan had to call him senior brother.

Han Shan’s words caused a wave of noise to erupt.

Luo Song watched as he remarked in a somewhat elated voice, “It’s over for this kid. From this point on, he will likely become a laughing stock in our Cangxuan Sect.”

Several individuals that were jealous of Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement.

Shen Wanjin and the rest of the Cangmang geniuses did not look too good, their expressions both tensed and worried.

Near the peak, Lu Feng and numerous other first class disciples merely watched with the detached eyes of a bystander, the sense of superiority in the expressions unconcealable.

Gu Hongyi felt a little pity as she shot a look at Zhou Yuan. After today, he would become the shortest lived first class disciple in the history of the Cangxuan Sect.

In the air, Chen Yuan’s expression remained unchanged as he nonchalantly said, “In a challenge between disciples, both parties must be willing. As long as Zhou Yuan agrees, you may naturally proceed.”

He then looked towards Zhou Yuan and said, “Will you accept Han Shan’s challenge? If you lose, your first class disciple status will be stripped.”

Every gaze looked towards Zhou Yuan.

There was neither fear nor alarm on his face as he calmly said, “Does that mean I can decline?”

These words immediately gave rise to numerous hisses of displease, disdain emerging in the gazes that looked towards him. A weakling that avoided battle was even more looked down upon.

Gu Hongyi shook her head, the earlier pity instantly vanishing into thin air. A person may be weak, but if one’s character was weak and submissive, one was not even deserving of pity.

Chen Yuan softly chuckled. “Does that mean that you’re going to decline?”

If Zhou Yuan really declined, his reputation would become terrible.

Zhou Yuan smiled. “Teacher Chen misunderstands. I merely want to know whether I am allowed to decline.”

Chen Yuan frowned, unable to understand Zhou Yuan’s goal..

Zhou Yuan ignored the former, his gaze shifting to Han Shan instead as he said, “You’ve heard it. I have the right to decline… however, I can give you a chance to challenge me, but you must first pay me thirty Genesis jade pieces.”

The entire mountain fell silent, dumbstruck gaze after gaze staring at Zhou Yuan. No one had expected him to propose such a condition. This would totally catch anyone off guard!

There was no change in Zhou Yuan in response to these gazes. If he lost, he would lose his status as a first class disciple, but if Han Shan lost, he wouldn’t really lose anything. This was obviously way too unfair.

Hence, he needed to tell everyone; challenge him? Sure. But you’ll have first have to pay the challenge price...

Or else, anyone would challenge him when they had nothing better to do. Did they think he was too free?

Han Shan’s face turned black as he said through gnashed teeth, “Thirty Genesis jade pieces? You must be crazy!”

“Are you afraid of losing?” Zhou Yuan grinned. “A first class disciple status and thirty Genesis jade pieces, you should know which has more value, right?”

The corners of Han Shan’s mouth twitched. In the end, a vicious and resolute look flashed in his eyes.

“Fine, I agree!”

Han Shan viciously glared at Zhou Yuan. The former had already decided that he would not show any mercy at all. He would make it such that this country bumpkin from the Cangmang Continent would not enjoy spending his money!

It was clear that Han Shan did not believe the quasi Alpha-Origin stage Zhou Yuan had any chance at victory.

“Since you’ve paid, I will definitely satisfy you…”

Upon seeing Han Shan agree, Zhou Yuan’s expression turned cold. He stood up, slivers of iciness flowing in his eyes as he looked towards the former, and everyone felt an astonishing aura slowly spread from his body.

“Come.”

A frosty voice sounded from his mouth.
