Chapter 382 Champion (2/2)

The giant incense stick burned faster and faster. When only a tenth of the stick was left, the other five remaining participants finally reached their limit and admitted defeat.

The instant the final five conceded, every gaze in the entire place converged onto Zhou Yuan and Xu Yan’s peak, complicated expressions filling everyone’s faces.

When these gazes looked at Zhou Yuan, admiration appeared in their eyes.

The championship battle was a competition to see who would last the longest at the hands of the veteran purple sash disciples. Su Wan, Wang Chen, Xia Yu and the rest had tried their hardest to delay the inevitable.

A vast disparity would appear when the other participants compared themselves to Zhou Yuan, because he had forced an impasse on his peak.

In other words, although Zhou Yuan had been unable to defeat Xu Yan, Xu Yan could do nothing about him either.

From a certain point of view, this was already considered an absolute victory.

Though the youthful figure seated on the mountain top was quite a pitiful sight at this time, not a single disciple dared to look down on him. No one could find a single fault in Zhou Yuan’s performance during this purple sash selection.

One could say that Zhou Yuan will now become a legend in the Cangxuan Sect after the purple sash selection.

His previous accomplishments from the peak selection ceremony, Genesis reservoir or Saint Genesis Peak were basically nothing in comparison to his latest one. In a certain manner of speaking, Zhou Yuan had singlehandedly crushed the entire Sword Cometh Peak during this purple selection test.

A single individual crushing an entire peak. Though it was only with regards to the gold sash disciples, it was already a feat that made countless people sigh in admiration.

Zhou Yuan’s tightly shut eyes also opened at this moment. He cast an indifferent glance at Xu Yan, finding the latter’s face was now deathly pale and filled with despair.

It was obvious that Xu Yan also understood that nothing could be changed by this point, and it would be useless no matter what he said now.

He glared at Zhou Yuan and spat out through gnashed teeth, “Zhou Yuan, you’ll regret this!”

Zhou Yuan remained unmoved. He stood up as he slammed his palm onto the ground, causing spurts of sharp Genesis Qi to shoot out, drilling numerous deep holes on the mountain top.

The Genesis Qi that had invaded his body earlier was now fully neutralized.

Xu Yan’s expression changed slightly when he saw this, clearly not expecting Zhou Yuan to neutralize his Genesis Qi so quickly.

Zhou Yuan swept a glance at Xu Yan. The fight with the latter had made him realize how much he was lacking. To think a single veteran purple sash disciple had pushed him so far.

“The year-end chief disciple selection will definitely be far more difficult, because only the best purple sash disciples will have the qualifications to participate.”

“Someone like Xu Yan may not even be qualified to take part in such an event.”

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath as he eyes narrowed slightly. Looks like he could not become complacent. If Xu Yan had not underestimated him, Zhou Yuan could not guarantee that he would become the last man standing.

After all, it was already crazily difficult for him to defeat a sixth layer disciple. Challenging the seventh layer was just too much.

While these thoughts swirled in his head, Zhou Yuan suddenly sensed an almighty gaze look towards him, before a warm and boundless voice sounded.

It was sect master Qing Yang!

“The purple sash selection has ended.”

“The champion of this selection, is Saint Genesis Peak’s… Zhou Yuan!”

As the booming voice echoed, countless gazes looked towards Zhou Yuan. Some were filled with amazement, some were filled with respect… in the end, the numerous disciples followed the rites they had always followed; cupping their fists together and bowing.

“Congratulations champion!”

Ordery and clear voices rang out across the land, shaking the seven peaks.

Only at this very moment did Zhou Yuan’s name finally begin to leave its mark in the Cangxuan Sect.
