Chapter 462 First Victory (2/2)

Hence, the jade glow from Zhou Yuan’s body felt a little familiar to him, while also puzzling him somewhat. Zhou Yuan was a disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, and it was impossible for him to have the qualifications to practice the Mythic Saint Body. So what was this external cultivation technique he had learnt?

Seated at the very end, Zhao Zhu’s expression was not looking too good. He clearly favored Lu Hong’s faction, and also had a small grudge with Zhou Yuan due to the Heaven mission. Of course he did not wish for Zhou Yuan to fall under the limelight.

“Amazing…” Chu Qing sighed in admiration. “Defeating even an eighth layer with the cultivation of the fourth layer. Junior brother Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundations are even stronger than when I was at the fourth layer.”

People like Chu Qing and the other Chosens were naturally able to fight opponents above their cultivation level. However, even they had not been as ferocious as Zhou Yuan when they were at the fourth layer.

“Junior brother Kong Sheng, it seems that my odds of winning the wager have increased.” Chu Qing grinned cheekily.

Kong Sheng remained expressionless as he nonchalantly said, “It is a little early for you to celebrate, a mere Zhou Yuan cannot affect the overall situation.”

Although he had been somewhat surprised by how Zhou Yuan had overwhelmed Wu Hai, that was as far as it went, because Lu Hong’s side still held the absolute advantage.

Chu Qing rubbed his chin as he grinned, “Then shall we add on to the wager!”

Kong Sheng flatly said, “Not interested. My only goal is to make you accept my challenge. Once I defeat you, there shall no longer be any reason for us to interact in the future.”

Chu Qing sighed as he sadly said, “Throwing me away after using me, you’re too heartless. That’s why I don’t like playing with you, Ye Ge treats me so much better.”

Li Qingchan and the other Chosens cringed slightly.

Ye Ge shot an angry gaze over and said, “Do you want to die Chu Qing, don’t drag me into this.”

Chu Qing revealed a dazzling smile and waved at Ye Ge.

The veins on Kong Sheng’s head twitched erratically, before he took in a deep breath and cast Chu Qing out of his mind, shifting his attention instead to the intense ongoing battles in the seven chief disciple peaks.

...

On the crumbled remains of the stone stage, Zhou Yuan looked in the direction Wu Hai had flown away in. He lightly exhaled as the jade light on his body slowly withdrew. He could feel countless gazes on him, but did not feel pleased with himself at all, because he clearly understood that this was only the beginning.

Lu Hong’s faction was still at an overwhelming advantage.

Zhou Yuan mumbled to himself, “I wonder how senior brother Zhou Tai and the rest are doing.”

Theirs was the most important battle. If even the three of them joining forces failed to defeat Yuan Hong, the latter would really be a little too shockingly powerful.

However, he did not need to think about such things for the time being. Regardless of the situation over there, he had to make use of this opportunity to eliminate the four other participants from Lu Hong’s faction.

If they were allowed to join up with Yuan Hong, his chances of obtaining the chief disciple position would become abysmally small.

“Four left…”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he lifted his head to peer into the distant mists. He could sense some Genesis Qi undulations far away, which likely originated from Han Yan, Han Yu and the rest.

“Since the other side has superior numbers, I should first make some preparations.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered in thought. Soon after, his toes pushed off the ground as his figure soared into the sky like a great peng, and swiftly disappeared into the mist.

To him, only now did the chief disciple selection truly begin.
