Chapter 540 Zhou Yuan Enters the Fray (2/2)

Yaoyao watched Zhou Yuan’s expression change with amusement, before she said, “Weren’t you being very confident earlier?”

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s lips twitched as he said, “I can’t show any weakness when their faces were so full of doubt, right? Especially Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu, they were practically dying to catch any chinks in my armor.”

Since things had already reached this point, why not feign confidence instead of showing how lost he was and being laughed at.

Moreover, since Yaoyao had called him over, she would certainly have a plan even if he was still in the dark about it.

Sure enough, Yaoyao cast her gaze towards the ten thousand foot aquatic beast and said, “The Dragon Saliva True Water is indeed very problematic. However, that’s only for the others. You, on the other hand, will not find it much of a problem at all.”

“Why?” Asked Zhou Yuan in bewilderment. He had previously seen how even the combined might of the Chosens had failed to break through the Dragon Saliva True Water.

“The Dragon Saliva True Water is made from the Dragon Qi that originated from the Source Dragon Vein. It is this very same Dragon Qi that gave it such amazing abilities.”

Yaoyao’s red lips parted slightly as she slowly explained, “There are many kinds of Dragon Qi in this world, but all of them have a common origin. Others may have no choice but to use brute force to break through, but you are different because of the sacred dragon blessing contained within your body.”

“The sacred dragon blessing…” Zhou Yuan finally understood. So that was the reason.

“What should I do?”

“Although the ten thousand foot aquatic beast has gained some sentience, it is not a true living creature and thus has limited intelligence. You only need to find an opportunity to send a sliver of sacred dragon Qi into the Dragon Saliva True Water, which would cause some variation to emerge and make it lose its abilities for a time. The rest of us shall make use of that chance to give the creature a fatal blow.” Yaoyao smiled slightly.

Zhou Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he heard this. Thankfully, it did not sound too difficult.

“Okay then, we’ll follow your plan.” Zhou Yuan nodded. If they did not finish off the ten thousand foot aquatic beast, all of them would have to return empty handed, which was obviously not in line with Zhou Yuan’s expectations.

Hence, he would naturally not shirk away from doing his part.

Yaoyao unhurriedly said, “Of course you’ll do it, but you have to secure enough benefits first.”

After finishing, she stepped out of the Genesis Qi barrier with Zhou Yuan following behind.

“Done discussing? Can you do it or not?” Zhao Zhu frostily looked over, his eyes filled with skepticism.

“Let Zhou Yuan handle the Dragon Saliva True Water.” Declared Yaoyao.

Although the other Chosens were still somewhat bewildered, they clearly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Yaoyao was so confident, the odds should be quite good, right?

“However…” Yaoyao suddenly paused.

She looked towards the group of Chosens and slowly said, “If Zhou Yuan does manage to neutralize the Dragon Saliva True Water, it will be a huge contribution. If we ultimately succeed in slaying the ten thousand foot aquatic beast, he should get thirty percent of the Genesis essence.”

“Thirty percent?!”

The Chosens were slightly alarmed by these words.

One must know that with Yaoyao and Tuntun added in, the Genesis essence would already be split into twelve portions, and each person would receive less than ten percent. And yet, Zhou Yuan wanted thirty percent?!

Zhao Zhu’s expression turned green with anger as he shouted,

“You’re dreaming, what right has a mere chief disciple to take thirty percent? Isn’t he afraid of dying to excessiveness?!”

“I will not agree!”
