Chapter 276 Champion of the Ceremony (1/2)

Boom!

An earth-shaking explosion unfurled high up in the sky, the berserk shockwaves that swept outwards causing the sky to slightly distort. Even the air in the vicinity was unable to bear the force, multiple explosions booming one after another.

Every gaze was tightly glued to the sky, not daring to even blink once.

They knew that it was finally time to decide the winner.

Everyone wondered who would be the one to remain standing till the end.

Under the attention of countless gazes, the destructive energies in the sky gradually began to dissipate after some time. The golden platform was finally revealed, now full of holes and cracks, as if it had undergone a terrifying impact.

However, no one paid any attention to the damage. Every gaze cast towards the two figures atop it instead.

Two figures that were currently frighteningly still.

A breeze blew past, rolling up the dust.

Lu Feng’s eyes were red as he stared at Zhou Yuan and said in a hoarse voice, “How… how can your Nine Dragons Canon be so powerful?!”

He had undoubtedly bought up all of the grade 5 Genesis Beast essence blood in the Glittering Jewels Pavilion. Zhou Yuan’s Nine Dragons Canon had surely been limited, but the earlier move had shaken even Lu Feng’s heart.

Zhou Yuan’s expression was calm as he let loose a long, drawn out breath. The golden light in his eyes gradually receded as the Genesis Qi around him shrank back into his body.

He slowly said, “It seems that you can’t take first place in the peak selection ceremony.”

He had no choice but to admit that Lu Feng was indeed very powerful, and the battle could be considered a bitter struggle for Zhou Yuan. Unfortunately for Lu Feng, Zhou Yuan’s preparations had been more thorough this time.

Lu Feng’s eyes were dyed red, unable to accept this outcome.

Urgh!

A mouthful of fresh blood was abruptly vomited from his mouth as he body slowly fell face flat towards the ground, causing him to fall unconscious due to his heavy injuries.

Dong!

The moment Lu Feng touched the ground, the entire world around them seemed to fall silent. The mouths of countless disciples slowly fell open as shock and amazement gathered in their eyes.

*Uproar*!

In the next moment, a torrential wave of noise that filled the sky exploded, so deafening that it could probably turn over a mountain.

No one had imagined that Lu Feng would lose the contest.

“Little Yuan bro is too damn amazing!” Shen Wanjin and the rest were dumbstruck as they gazed upon the only standing figure on the golden stone platform. Although they had hoped all along that Zhou Yuan would win, they did not truly understand his abilities, making them feel rather awkward and uncertain even when supporting him. After all, Lu Feng’s reputation was just far too overwhelming.

Hence, when Lu Feng finally fell, it had been a pretty huge blow to them.

Xiao Tianxuan had a complicated look on his face, fear in his gaze as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. At this very moment, all he felt was admiration for his father’s judgement.

Given the talent Zhou Yuan had displayed, there was no doubt that he would become a core member of the Cangxuan Sect, and have an extremely bright future. When that time came, his name would likely be known even in the entire Cangxuan Heaven.

Such a person was someone you would absolutely not want to hold a grudge with.

Gu Hongyi raised her clean, bright and pretty face, an exceptional splendour in her eyes as she gazed at Zhou Yuan's figure. This result had likewise also shaken her.

Although she was not fond of Lu Feng, she had no choice but to admit that he was indeed a capable individual. At the very least, the current her would not be able to take the upper hand against him.
