Chapter 377 The Championship Battle (1/2)

When the disciples outside the mountain range saw Zhou Yuan ascended the peak and encounter Xu Yuan from Sword Cometh Peak, a commotion naturally ensued.

“To think that it would be senior brother Xu Yan from Sword Cometh Peak…”

“This championship battle involves veteran purple sash disciples?”

“The other nine have also been stopped by someone, all of whom are extremely powerful veteran purple sash disciples from the various peaks...”

“Could this championship battle be about who will be able to defeat these veteran purple sash disciples?”

“That can’t be possible. Senior brother Xu Yan and the rest have all stepped into the seventh layer Alpha-Origin stage. Furthermore, they are purple sash disciples that practice grade 6 Genesis Qi methods and cultivate grade 6 Genesis Qi . In comparison, Su Wan and the rest may be the first seat gold sash disciple of their respective peaks, but the Genesis Qi they cultivate is only grade 5. What’s more, there is a gap in their Genesis Qi cultivation as well, making victory practically impossible.”

“That’s right. The championship battle shouldn’t require them to defeat senior brother Xu Yan and the rest…”

“......”

Many whispers echoed within the crowd. The format of the championship battle had clearly taken many by surprise.

Atop one of the mountain peaks, Yaoyao and Li Qingchan were also watching the scenes inside the Genesis Qi mirrors.

“Xu Yan from Sword Cometh Peak…” A look of astonishment flashed across Li Qingchan’s gorgeous and icy face as she said, “It seems like Zhou Yuan and Sword Cometh Peak are fated to be pit against one another. Can’t believe he still managed to run into them after picking a path at random.”

A look of thought could be seen on her face as she continued, “To think that sect master and the rest would send out the veteran purple sash disciples. I believe the goal of this championship battle won’t be for Zhou Yuan and the rest to defeat their opponents, but how long they will be able to last against these veteran disciples.”

Li Qingchan looked at Yaoyao and said, “If so, Zhou Yuan is quite the unlucky one. If it was anyone else from another peak, that person will likely hold back a little. However, there is no way that Xu Yan will be showing any mercy.”

“Therefore, Zhou Yuan’s hopes of winning the championship might be dashed.”

At this point, she felt a little regretful for him. After all, she had personally witnessed how Zhou Yuan had fought all the way to reach this juncture. Who could have imagined that he would encounter such a strong foe at the final stage.

Yaoyao’s hands gently stroked Tuntun’s head. Her clear eyes gazed at the two figures facing each other in the Genesis mirror, as she slowly said, “Like I said, you’ll never know what’s going to happen until the end.”

Li Qingchan responded with slight annoyance, “Don’t you think that you are blindly putting too much faith in Zhou Yuan? The reason why he was able to eliminate Le Tian and the rest was because they did not know about his hidden trump card, allowing him to lure them into the valley and set up a boundary. However, Xu Yan is likely already aware of this information, and there is no way that he will allow Zhou Yuan to set up a boundary.”

“Without the boundary, Zhou Yuan may not even be able to defeat Le Tian with his own strength, let alone Xu Yan, a seventh layer Alpha-Origin expert.”

Li Qingchan was a fairly logical person. That was why she could not understand Yaoyao’s thoughts.

She did not deny that Zhou Yuan was extremely outstanding. However, she believed that there were still limits. He was currently only at the third layer Alpha-Origin stage, and if Yaoyao believed that Zhou Yuan would be able to match Xu Yan in a clash of Genesis Qi, she would be severely underestimating the four layers gap between them.

Yaoyao did not reply. She also knew that Zhou Yuan would face a tremendous amount of pressure against such a powerful foe.

However, she also felt that this pressure would be good for him.

As for the end result, it was honestly not important.

...

While the area outside the mountain range was in an uproar, in the rocky arena, Zhou Yuan wore a slightly grim expression as he stared at Xu Yan. The Genesis Qi vibrations from the latter made him feel a significant amount of pressure.

Seventh layer Alpha-Origin stage.

Compared to Le Tian and the rest, this opponent was on a different level.

Xu Yan nonchalantly looked towards Zhou Yuan, and unhurriedly said, “The last time we met, I respectfully gave you a way to apologize to junior sister Lu Xuanyin in order to resolve the grudge between the two of you. However, junior brother Zhou Yuan, you were simply too arrogant and directly rejected my kind gesture.”

“Therefore, in order to help junior brother Zhou Yuan understand your situation, I made a request of junior brother Le Tian and the rest…”

“Haha, of course, senior brother Zhao Zhu was also involved.”

Zhou Yuan frowned a little. After all this time, it turns out that Le Tian and the rest had been on Xu Yan’s instructions. Moreover, Zhao Zhu? Wasn’t he the second Chosen of Sword Cometh Peak? Why would he want to make things difficult for Zhou Yuan?
