Chapter 536 Training (1/2)

On an enormous island located in the central region of the Genesis reservoir.

This island was currently the most busy place in the entire reservoir. All the disciples from the seven peaks were gathered here, evidently planning on working together against the imminent crisis.

Amongst the seven gathered peaks, only the Sword Cometh Peak disciples were a little unhappy. The disciples from the other peaks would look at them in a weird manner, and they would often catch others pointing and whispering when they passed by, making them feel extremely sullen.

However, there was nothing they could say in response. After all, even they themselves had not expected that nearly ten thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples, two Chosens and a chief disciple would ultimately lose in such a pitiful manner to Saint Genesis Peak.

This was truly humiliating for them.

In contrast to Sword Cometh Peak’s sullenness, the Saint Genesis Peak disciples found that their status seemed to have risen substantially. In the past, they had basically been transparent in the eyes of the other disciples, and no one would pay them any attention. In fact, when receiving missions in the sect, the other disciples would even find excuses to run away when they heard a team mate was from Saint Genesis Peak, an occurrence that rather infuriated the Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

In comparison, the attitudes of the other disciples were much better now, which made the Saint Genesis Peak disciples both happy and grateful.

Of course, their gratefulness was not directed towards the other peak disciples, but to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.

All the Saint Genesis Peak disciples understood that if it were not for the duo, Saint Genesis Peak would only be able to challenge Sword Cometh Peak in their dreams.

As such, the Saint Genesis Peak disciples were currently really glad that Zhou Yuan had become their chief disciple.

…

On the tallest peak at the center of the island.

A temporary pavilion had been built in this location, where Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, the other Chosens and the chief disciples of the various peaks were currently gathered. This was basically a gathering of the finest disciples from all seven peaks.

Inside the pavilion, Genesis Qi took the shape of a light screen that turned into a map.

Li Qingchan’s pretty face was slightly solemn as she pointed towards a certain spot in the northwest sector of the map and said, “The ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s undulations originated from this location. Our scouts tell us that countless aquatic beasts have gathered there, making it very difficult to approach.”

“The undulations have been growing stronger and stronger, and if our guess is correct, the ten thousand foot aquatic beast is still in the process of forming. At this rate, it would take at most two days for it to fully form.”

“When that happens it will immediately sense us as foreign presences in the reservoir and proceed to exterminate us.”

Everyone had a grave expression, likely feeling the pressure from the ten thousand foot aquatic beast.

Zhou Yuan suddenly asked, “Can we kill it before it fully forms?”

“Immature and arrogant.” Zhao Zhu glanced at Zhou Yuan and sneered.

Although their battle was over, Zhao Zhu clearly held a grudge due to Sword Cometh Peak’s crushing defeat. As such, there was naturally no way he would let a chance to mock Zhou Yuan go.

Zhou Yuan mercilessly retorted, “An already defeated opponent.”

Zhao Zhu’s expression immediately turned green with anger.

Zhou Yuan merely ignored him and looked towards Li Qingchan. The latter shook her head and explained, “First, there’s already not enough time. In addition, it's hiding in the extreme depths of the reservoir, while it is very exhausting for us to move in the reservoir, making it impossible to linger for long in its depths. Hence, we can’t enter the depths to kill it.”

“Moreover, there are countless aquatic beasts protecting it, with no lack of thousand foot aquatic beasts amongst them.”

Zhou Yuan frowned a little. The pressure in the reservoir was not an issue for him, and he could roam inside for long periods of time at little cost. However, he could not deal with the tight security.

“Given the current circumstances, we’ll have to wait for the ten thousand foot aquatic beast to form, and begin its assault on us. We’ll then concentrate our forces and engage it in battle.”

“Although a ten thousand foot aquatic beast will be formidable, it is not impossible for us to fight it if we work together.” Shang Chunqiu grinned, battle lust brewing in his eyes. There was no sign of any fear due to terror of the ten thousand foot aquatic beast.

The other Chosens nodded. Those who could become Chosens were naturally talented and prideful individuals that would not be frightened by a ten thousand foot aquatic beast.
