Chapter 503 Appeal for Aid (2/2)

Zhou Yuans’ face turned black. “Do you think I’m afraid of them?”

At such a time, he could not admit defeat even if he had to put up an act.

But his rationality told him that there was indeed a gap between his current self and the Chosens.

Yaoyao did not expose Zhou Yuan’s tough act. She slowly walked to the stream under the peach tree and sat down on the simple swing hanging from one of its branches. As she gently swayed back and forth, she said, “Even if I participate, I’ll only be able to deal with those two Chosens from Sword Cometh Peak. This will not be enough to make up for the weak base of Saint Genesis Peak, so the final outcome will still depend on your abilities.”

“At the very least… the chief disciple from Sword Cometh Peak will be a formidable adversary for you. To have fought his way through the many geniuses of Sword Cometh Peak and won the chief disciple position, Baili Che is no simple individual.”

Zhou Yuan nodded with a serious expression. Though he held no fondness towards Baili Che’s arrogant attitude, he had to admit that the latter possessed the qualifications to back it up. Although Yuan Hong used to be ranked quite high in Sword Cometh Peak, there was undoubtedly still a gap between him and Baili Che.

Therefore, in Baili Che’s view, a chief disciple like Zhou Yuan, who had won his position by defeating Yuan Hong, was not a huge threat.

“It’s a pity the Genesis reservoir is a body of water, or I will have been itching to try out the Earth Saint Rune.” Said Zhou Yuan in a regretful manner.

He had already given the Earth Saint Rune a spin over the past few days. It could absorb the Genesis Qi within the earth to augment his physical abilities, a domineering, forceful and straightforward power.

However, the rune had its limits. It could only bring out its full capabilities with the right terrain.

In the Genesis reservoir which contained only a few small islands, the Earth Saint Rune’s power would be greatly diminished.

The extent of the Saint Rune’s powers were immeasurable, and limited only by their user. If Zhou Yuan grew stronger in the future, he may be able to overcome the problem of terrain, but at this current point in time, he was clearly far from being able to do so.

Without this powerful card, Zhou Yuan’s battle power was undoubtedly much weaker.

“Looks like you’ll have to think of some way to raise your strength during these next two months. Though Baili Che seems arrogant, he is no fool, and will definitely be well prepared for the Genesis reservoir ceremony.” Cautioned Yaoyao.

Zhou Yuan nodded. After some consideration, his mind sent out a thought, and a transparent jade bottle appeared in his hand. A golden glow shined from the bottle, as light seemed to flow within it.

It was the remnants of the golden sun that had been smashed to pieces by the divine grindstone brand during the trial.

Zhou Yuan did not recognize the contents in the bottle, and thus did not dare to absorb it. This was the perfect opportunity for him to let Yaoyao have a look.

Yaoyao received the bottle as surprise flashed across her face. She pondered for a brief moment, before she said, “This should be the rumored Spirit Refining Saliva, a strange but rare item that is a great supplement for the Spirit.”

“On the outside, a single drop can create a giant commotion. How did you manage to get so much of it…”

Joy faintly flashed across Zhou Yuan’s face. “Will it allow my Spirit to reach the advanced Corporeal stage?”

“Of course.” A small smile rose on Yaoyao’s face. “However, it’s extremely tyrannical in nature and needs to first be modulated before consumption. I will handle the process for you.”

“If I succeed, you will only require one third of it to achieve a breakthrough.”

“As for the rest…”

She placed the bottle into the sleeve and looked towards Zhou Yuan as she slowly said, “I’ll take it as a respectful gift for me.”

Zhou Yuan helplessly grinned. However, there were no feelings of unwillingness. He was satisfied as long as he could reach the advanced Corporeal stage, and he knew that someone like Yaoyao would not seize it for no reason, so it likely had use to her.”

Phew.

Zhou Yuan let out a tiny sigh. Once he reached the advanced Corporeal stage, what would he have to fear from Baili Che?

Of course, this did not mean that he could relax. During the next two months, he planned to begin taking a dive into the recently obtained Omega Saint Spirit Art...

If he could master this technique, Baili Che would not be able to create even a tiny splash.
