Chapter 333 Cave Match Begins (2/2)
Tong Long and Pan Song’s expression were quite taunt, clearly somewhat nervous. However, they still managed to force out a nod.
Shen Taiyuan cautioned Zhou Yuan, “Zhou Yuan, there’s no need to be too nervous since its is your first time in a match like this. If you’re not a match for your opponent, remember that your safety is the most important. Victory or defeat is only temporary, and doesn’t decide everything”
Many disciples from the other peaks had come to watch today, and Shen Taiyuan was worried that if Zhou Yuan did not perform well, the storm of mocking laughter that followed would be too huge of a mental blow to him.
Zhou Yuan was a little moved inside as he nodded with a smile.
When the three of them walked out, even more gazes were cast to them than earlier. However, most of the gazes were clearing looking towards Zhou Yuan.
Numerous whispers began to spread.
“Is he that Zhou Yuan?”
“Doesn’t seem to be anything special.
“Hehe, looks like another person who wants to borrow senior brother Chu Qing’s name to become famous.”
“But it’s a pity that he chose the wrong person. Senior brother Chu Qing is just too outstanding, and even if Zhou Yuan does perform decently, he will only appear incapable in comparison.”
“……”
The majority of the disciples that had come to watch were female, all of them young and pretty. They were obviously similar to Lu Yan, belonging to the group of Chu Qing’s fanatical supporters. Hence, their words were merciless, and rather grating to the ear.
Tong Long and Pan Song also felt these gazes, causing them to feel a little uncomfortable all over. This was the first time so many people had come to watch a cave match of Saint Genesis Peak.
Moreover, most of them were not here with kind intentions.
The two exchanged a look and let out a bitter laugh. They were truly innocent victims.
Though they had already been affected, Tong Long was still quite broad-minded, and did not vent his frustration on Zhou Yuan. Instead, the former tried to console him. “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, since it’s your first time in a cave match, we’ll go first later and let you observe a little. No need to be nervous.”
Zhou Yuan nodded with a smile, showing his gratitude. If Tong Long and Pan Song were able to win, there would be no need for Zhou Yuan to stand out too much. As for the opinions of the onlookers, he couldn’t care less.
He was no circus monkey after all, and was not here to entertain everyone.
Under the attention of countless gazes, Tong Long, Pan Song and Zhou Yuan moved, landing on the three stone stages opposite the Wei Youxuan trio.
Wei Youxuan’s gaze nonchalantly swept across the three figures, as a slight smile appeared from the corners of his mouth. The look in his eyes was one of amusement and ridicule.
“Can’t believe that you three still have the courage to participate. This truly is somewhat surprising to me.” Wei Youxuan smiled faintly.
Tong Long’s expression darkened. “Wei Youxuan, don’t brag too much. We’ll only know who wins when we fight.”
However, Wei Youxuan merely laughed in response, before his gaze shifted towards Zhou Yuan on the far right as he sarcastically said, “Senior sister Lu Xuanyin instructed me previously to take good care of you, so don’t go blaming me too much later.”
Zhou Yuan’s gaze lowered slightly, as if he did not hear the former.
While both sides were having a duel of tongues, Lu Hong opened his mouth and said, “Begin.”
His words instantly caused the atmosphere to turn tense, as every gaze in the place turned towards the six figures.
