Chapter 328 The Meaning of Shock (1/2)

Around the Genesis reservoir, countless gazes were cast over in amusement, ultimately converging on a certain peak where Zhou Yuan was currently standing.

According to the rules of the sect, only purple sash disciples had the qualifications to enter the Genesis reservoir to find Dragon Genesis Essence, and subsequently complete the baptism.

Zhou Yuan was only a gold sash disciple, but as the most recent champion of the peak selection ceremony, they had made an exception for him this once, and bestowed upon him the opportunity to participate in the current Genesis Marrow Baptism, an exception that most purple sash disciples did not really mind.

Because all of them clearly understood that entering the reservoir was the easy part. The true challenge lay in hunting the aquatic beasts inside, and obtaining Genesis Dragon Essence...

Numerous purple sash disciples had worked hard for the past ten days, and the majority of them had only managed to achieve four dragon baptisms. So what could a new disciples such as Zhou Yuan possibly accomplish in the Genesis reservoir?

It was likely that he may not have even gathered ten crystals. If so, even a two dragon baptism might be a little difficult...

Although it was not easy to hunt aquatic beasts, majority of the purple sash disciples were still able to achieve four dragon baptisms, and were very unlikely to end up with two dragon or three dragon baptisms. After all, every purple sash disciple had the strength of the sixth layer Alpha-Origin, and would not do any worse than a four dragon baptism no matter how bad they were.

Hence, when they imagined the possibility of a pitiful two dragon baptism from Zhou Yuan, they could not help but secretly snigger inside.

As seasoned disciples, they were naturally more than happy to see well-behaved new inner mountain disciples that did not challenge their dignity. Thus, if the individual known as number one amongst the new disciples were to perform badly, it would undoubtedly cause the other new disciples to behave a little better...

Numerous disciples watched with such thoughts in mind as Zhou Yuan stepped forward with a calm expression. Under the countless watching gazes, he landed on one of the ancient stone pillars on the baptism altar.

He could naturally feel the numerous gazes on him which were clearly waiting to be entertained. Although these disciples did not have any ill will towards him, they were obviously not supportive of him either.

He ignored the gazes of the crowd. The opinions of others did not matter to him after all, especially when what he needed was right about to be his.

“Go ahead start, and no need to feel stressed. It’s your first time here at the Genesis reservoir after all, and you will still have many chances in the future when you become a purple sash disciple.” Elder Miao looked towards Zhou Yuan. The former’s words were quite kind, perhaps because he had lent his aid to Li Qingchan.

Even so, Zhou Yuan could still tell that elder Miao did not believe he would achieve much.

His second layer Alpha-Origin stage strength was just far too glaring to everyone.

To travel with as one pleased in the Genesis reservoir, one’s strength needed to at least reach the sixth layer Alpha-Origin stage.

Zhou Yuan did not say anything in response, merely smiling with a nod. The only thing that would convince everyone was facts, and he would likely be treated as a joke no matter what he said.

As such, he patted the Universe bag at his waist with a cool expression.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, Dragon Genesis Essence crystal after crystal flew out along with an explosion of light, while the surrounding Genesis Qi began to be drawn towards him...

As more and more Dragon Genesis Essence crystals gathered above Zhou Yuan’s head, the laughter in the area stealthily began to fade away, while the expressions of many disciples turned more and more rigid.

Zhou Yuan remained oblivious to them. With a jerk of his sleeve, hundreds of crystals swirled above him like a river of crystals.

The scope was not the least bit inferior to Li Qingchan from before.

Moreover, every crystal had been meticulously selected, making it an even more impressive sight!

The world around was deathly silent.

“How, how can this be… how can he have so many Dragon Genesis Essence crystals?!” The silence was finally broken by the trembling voice a disciple that was filled with disbelief.

No one knew the answer. All of them vigorously rubbed their eyes, as if the scene before them was some kind of illusion.

Bang! Bang!

In the silence, Zhou Yuan’s hands came together and all of the crystals above him exploded. Dragon Genesis Essence fell, landing on the stone pillar.

The surrounding Genesis Qi began to whizzed over, seemingly creating a thin mist.
