Chapter 396 One Move (2/2)

This was already the most advantageous offer Zhou Yuan could get. Li Qingchan was afraid that Zhou Yuan might refuse it due to his ego, and had thus taken the initiative to accept it on his behalf.

Since Wang Lei wanted to show off, they had to make proper use of this opportunity.

Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly at her words. In reality, he was really itching for a real fight with Wang Lei. Otherwise, he would be in for an uncomfortable journey if he had to constantly deal with doubts from his other party members.

However, Li Qingchan did not seem to have much confidence in him, and was afraid that he would end up backing himself into a corner due to his stubborn pride. As such, she had immediately cut in to prevent such a scenario.

Zhou Yuan felt rather apologetic to Li Qingchan as she had indeed weathered a tremendous amount of pressure in order to protect him. Therefore, he chose to remain silent, and did not object to her decision.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lei exchanged a look with Zhao Zhu as a strange smile appeared on his face.

“Junior brother Zhou Yuan’s bravery is commendable. Come on then, let this senior brother give you some guidance!” Wang Lei stomped his foot as his body flew forward, and landed in an arena outside the hall.

Zhou Yuan also moved, and quickly appeared on the arena.

Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu and the rest swarmed out of the hall like fishes, arriving at the entrance where they watched the two figures that were now facing each other.

The mission hall was usually crowded. Not to mention there were numerous purple sash disciples from the various peaks gathered here today, waiting to find out who would make the final cut for the Heaven task. Hence, Zhou Yuan and Wang Lei immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

The crowd soon found out the reason why Zhou Yuan and Wang Lei were facing each other, and various shocked voices immediately sounded.

“Zhou Yuan is simply too arrogant. To think that he actually dares to fight senior brother Wang Lei…”

“I heard that it’s only a one move wager.”

“Even if it’s only a single move, I am afraid Zhou Yuan won’t be able to handle it. Senior brother Wang Lei is quite a bit stronger than Xu Yan, and will definitely go all-out for this one attack. I don’t think that Zhou Yuan can win.”

“Heh, it’s even better if he can’t. That spot on the team isn’t something that he should even think about for now.”

“Let this be a lesson for him”

“......”

More and more disciples began to gather at the perimeter of the arena, watching the two individuals in excitement.

On the stone steps, Li Qingchan gazed at the arena. Beside her, Bai Li’s eyes swept across Zhou Yuan and Wang Lei, as she softly said, “Though Wang Lei is quite arrogant, he is no fool. He has likely come prepared for this one move wager he suggested.”

Li Qingchan fell silent for a moment. She was naturally aware of this as well. However, Zhao Zhu’s strong opposition together with the fact that she had defended Zhou Yuan vehemently, had caused a great deal of criticism. Therefore, her only hope now was that Zhou Yuan could deliver so that she would have something to convince the crowd.

“Zhou Yuan is not a rash person either. Since he agreed, he should also be prepared.”

Li Qingchan softly said, “In addition… if he can’t even handle a single attack from Wang Lei...”

“It will be impossible for him to obtain a Heaven Credit even if he does join the mission…”

She stared at the young man in the arena, as she slowly said, “Now show me whether my decision to defend you is the right one...”
