Chapter 478 It’s Over (1/2)

When Zhou Yuan’s clear voice echoed across the land, the silence over the place was finally broken as dazed gaze after gaze slowly returned to their senses...

The onlookers looked towards the still slowly collapsing chief disciple peak, where Zhou Yuan was standing in the air. Although he tattered clothes made him cut quite a sorry figure, the faint presence that spread from him made several disciples freeze for a second.

Only at this very moment did they finally realize that what many had viewed to be a mere new disciple, had already grown to such an astonishing level in a short year...

So much so, that even a veteran disciple like Yuan Hong had been beaten!

At this moment, the crowd finally understood that they could no longer view Zhou Yuan with the same lenses they had before… anyone who dared to adopt a high and mighty attitude due to seniority or experience, would only be seeking his or her own humiliation.

Outside the chief disciple peak, the three Saint Genesis Peak factions also returned to their senses.

Shen Taiyuan’s disciples were in disbelief. They looked at each other, and timidly asked, “We… won?”

The pressure brought by Lu Hong’s faction had been far too overwhelming. Hence, even at such a time, they found the impossibly beautiful outcome before them rather hard to accept.

The usual stern and strict look on Shen Taiyuan’s old face was currently disappearing little by little, as intense, unconcealable emotions surged out in his eyes. He forcefully nodded as he said in a trembling voice, “Yes, Zhou Yuan has won! We’ve won the chief disciple selection!”

With regards to such an outcome, even someone like Shen Taiyuan could no longer remain calm.

When the Zhou Tai trio had failed to defeat Yuan Hong earlier, Shen Taiyuan had already begun to despair inside. Yuan Hong had just been too overwhelming and unstoppable.

Although Zhou Yuan had repeatedly surprised them, Shen Taiyuan felt that he was still too new, and his chances against an experienced disciple like Yuan Hong were anything but optimistic.

Never would he have imagined that Zhou Yuan, whom no one had supported, would ultimately be the one to do it...

In the end, he had even gone against all odds to obtain victory against Yuan Hong!

Gratifications filled Shen Taiyuan’s eyes as he gazed upon the youthful figure. He was very happy that he had insisted on taking Zhou Yuan in back then, and even repeatedly supported him against the majority opinion.

Now, Zhou Yuan had reciprocated in the best way imaginable.

In the wake of Shen Taiyuan’s words, the nearby disciples finally returned to their senses. Zhou Yuan had really defeated Yuan Hong, and obtained the chief disciple position of Saint Genesis Peak!

As such, literal earth-shaking cheers erupted a split second later.

“Little Yuan bro is invincible!” An excited to the max shriek was heard.

The crowd jumped at this voice, quickly looking over, only to find that Shen Wanjin’s round face had flushed red with excitement, as if he was about to pass out from happiness.

“I… I put two hundred thousand Genesis jade on him!” Shen Taiyuan trembled with emotion.

These words caused the group to fall silent once more, before their eyes began to turn red, and their breathing ragged as they stared at Shen Wanjin. Only now did they recall that he had bet two hundred thousand Genesis jade on Zhou Yuan taking home the chief disciple seat!

Just how much was he going to get back in return?!

They had previously teased Shen Wanjin for basically ‘throwing away’ his wealth, but who could have expected such an outcome? After calculating the betting odds, how much Genesis jade did he win?

Such a fortune would stun even purple sash disciples.

Numerous disciples suddenly felt their hearts ache as they stared at the flushed Shen Wanjin. Was this little fatty going to become one of the richest disciples in the Cangxuan Sect?
