Chapter 376 Top Ten (2/2)

“Since the ten purple sash disciples have been decided, it’s time for the most exciting part of the purple sash selection…”

“Yeah. The championship battle is next.”

“I wonder what format this championship battle will take? I am really looking forward to it...”

“No matter what format it is, I believe Zhou Yuan has a very good chance. In fact, he will likely become the champion this time.”

“That is not necessarily true. The reason why Zhou Yuan was able to team wipe the Sword Cometh Peak disciples was because Le Tian and gang were caught off-guard, allowing Zhou Yuan to set up a boundary in secret. Since everyone now knows this trick of his, there is no way they will give him the time to set it up again in a fight.”

“That’s true. Without the help of the boundary, I don’t see how Zhou Yuan could possibly match up to Su Wan, Wang Chen and the other first seat gold sash disciples…”

“......”

Many disciples discussed the outcome, their eyes filled with anticipation. The ten purple sash disciples before them were the top disciples that had distinguished themselves from all the gold sash disciples in their Cangxuan Sect.

And the champion would soon be decided from amongst them.

One could only imagine how amazing the subsequent fights would be.

...

Zhou Yuan stood in front of a stone door as he stretched out his hand. The seals on the back of his hand began to flicker, before detaching themselves and flying into the stone door.

Rumble!

After the seals entered, a rumbling noise immediately erupted from the stone door. Under Zhou Yuan’s excited gaze, the door slowly opened.

Faint mist filled the area behind the stone door, while a tiny rock path extended towards the limits of one’s sight.

“The championship battle, huh…”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes glimmered. He would have no interest if it was just a title, as he was a very practical person. He was only interested in the championship prize, the Genesis Star Pill.

With that pill, he would be able to swiftly advance into the fourth-layer Alpha Origin stage.

By doing so, he would increase his odds in the year-end chief disciple selection. After all, the opponents he would face in that fight would make his current battles seem akin to small squabbles.

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath, before he stepped past the stone door without the slightest trace of hesitation, embracing the mist as he began walking on that small cobbled path.

The cobbled path brought him upwards. His surroundings were obscured by the fog, while his curious gaze remained directed to the front.

He really wanted to know what the format of the championship battle would be.

Was it going to be a ten person brawl?

As such thoughts swirled in his head, Zhou Yuan’s footsteps did not pause. After half an incense stick of time, he finally realized that he had reached the end of that cobbled path. Meanwhile, the mist in front of him began to dissipate.

When the mist disappeared, a spacious rocky arena appeared in front of him.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze immediately locked onto the center of the arena, where a man was resting both his hands on the hilt of a dark gray sword, while his scabbard was propped up on the ground.

Beside him was a three feet long incense stick wedged atop a boulder.

When Zhou Yuan saw this person, his pupils shrank slightly.

The figure lifted his head, and revealed a playful smile at Zhou Yuan.

“Zhou Yuan, it seems like you’ve really made a name for yourself earlier...”

“However, I never expected that you would bump into me.”

Zhou Yuan frowned. The figure before him was not completely unknown. This person was also a disciple from Sword Cometh Peak, and seemed to be called… Xu Yan?

Were they dispatching veteran purple sash disciples for the championship battle?

Looks like it was going to be quite a challenge.
