Chapter 352 Two Guardians (1/2)
The entire place seemed to erupt into a frenzy the moment Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan’s figures disappeared into the mist boundary, many disciples whispering among themselves, as they debated the outcome of today’s event…
While they were talking, Genesis Qi suddenly gathered in the air above Spirit Rune Hall, ultimately taking the form of two giant Genesis Qi mirrors under the countless gazes of the watching disciples.
As the mist in the mirrors faded, two figures gradually surfaced.
The two figures were revealed to be Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, who had just stepped into the boundary moments ago.
Evidently, their every move was being projected by these mirrors.
The noise slowly died down, as numerous disciples turned their gazes towards the mirrors, attentively watching the two figures within...
“Zhou Yuan simply does not understand his place. The cave match ended not too long ago, and he’s already creating such a huge commotion again…” At a certain spot in front of Spirit Rune Hall, Lu Xuanyin with her arms crossed, a cold gleam appearing on her face as she gazed at the Genesis Qi mirror.
Next to her, was a faintly smiling Xu Yan. The lingering trace of amazement in his eyes due to the sight of Yaoyao earlier was only gradually beginning to fade at this moment as he chuckled and said, “You’ve overestimated him this time. He currently does not have the qualifications to receive such lavish treatment from Spirit Rune Peak.”
“Zhou Xiaoyao is the real star of today’s show.”
At the mention of this name, Lu Xuanyin tightly pursed her lips, clearly somewhat displeased. Nonetheless, she had no choice but to admit the cruel reality that Yaoyao’s popularity in the Cangxuan Sect had far exceeded her own.
“Can they really break this Genesis Rune boundary?” Asked Lu Xuanyin.
She naturally hoped that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would fail, because if they succeeded, Yaoyao’s skyrocketing popularity would likely surge even higher.
Xu Yan fell silent for a moment, before he slowly said, “I am afraid it’s not going to be easy. Zhou Xiaoyao must be insanely talented in Genesis Runes for peak master Bai Mei to regard her so highly. However, this Genesis Rune boundary is extremely intricate, and requires two individuals working in perfect sync in order to break through.”
“If she cooperated with Ye Ge, it would be extremely easy to break the boundary. However, she chose Zhou Yuan…”
“According to the rules, one cannot rely on Genesis Qi but instead one’s mastery over Genesis Runes to break this Genesis Rune boundary. However, Zhou Yuan does not seem to have any outstanding talent in Genesis Runes.”
“Therefore, it was a mistake for Zhou Xiaoyao to ask Zhou Yuan for help, because he would only end up dragging her down.” Towards the end, even Xu Yan shook his head as if lamenting the beauty’s poor judgement...
He paused for a moment, before he continued, “Moreover, according to what I know, this boundary is split into two parts, each part possessing its own core. In addition, there is a disciple guarding each core.”
“The two core guardians are renowned individuals from Spirit Rune Peak… and a battle with them will be unavoidable if the boundary is to be broken.”
“Yaoyao’s side may not be a problem, but as for Zhou Yuan… I am afraid he will not be able to triumph over his opponent.” At this juncture, a playful smile appeared on Xu Yan’s lips.
Upon hearing his evaluation of the situation, Lu Xuanyin’s eyes brightened slightly as she smiled and said, “Many are here because of Yaoyao. If she ends up failing due to Zhou Yuan, I am pretty sure that most of them would be pissed at him. Things will become very entertaining when that happens.”
Xu Yan smiled as he nodded.
“This is the price to pay for basking in the limelight too often…”
…
“Hongyi, is that the Zhou Yuan you keep bringing up? It doesn’t seem like there is anything special about him.”
At another corner, several pretty girls were gathered together. The most attention grabbing amongst them was a tall girl dressed in red. Her long legs would haunt the dreams of any man, while a red whip hung from her tiny waist, giving her a wild yet sexy look.
That beautiful and familiar face obviously belonged to Gu Hongyi, who had chosen to join Cangxuan Peak.
At this current moment, there was a long-haired girl standing beside Gu Hongyi, who was blessed with a great figure. It was this very girl who had spoken earlier with a grin.
