Chapter 868 Preparing for War (2/2)

Even Chi Jing was taken aback by his answer and couldn’t help but repeat, “You and Wu Yao are rivals? Su Youwei is your friend?”

She then immediately smiled. “They’re now the most dazzling pearls of Hunyuan Heaven. I’m surprised you have some sort of relationship with both of them. It seems that there are some stories behind this?

“Haha, if this information gets out, I feel that at least half of the people in the top 20 of the Divine Dwelling list will want to spar with you.”

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly when he saw Chi Jing’s curious face. “Senior sister, why would you be interested in this kind of gossip!”

Chi Jing smiled. “However, Wu Yao and Su Youwei will both become mountains blocking your path at the nine regions tournament. No matter what stories you have with them from before, you will have to be careful.

“They’re both very strong now.”

“If Lu Xiao were to face them, he would no doubt be beaten. There would be no other outcome.”

Zhou Yuan nodded, sighing inwardly. He had briefly fought against Wu Yao and was suppressed almost the entire time back when he was at the Great Wu Empire. If Yaoyao hadn’t come in time, he would have had to escape. Therefore, he had expected Wu Yao to be this strong.

He sighed because Su Youwei, the little girl who used to follow behind him and repeatedly call him His Highness, had become so powerful after so many years.

I don’t know if she would still remember the highness of the Great Zhou Empire when we meet again? Zhou Yuan felt a little melancholic. Su Youwei was obviously no longer the little girl who had nobody to depend on. Given her current status, in her eyes, the Great Zhou Empire might be like a small puddle of mud, and the so-called His Highness might be even more like a joke.

When a person becomes a dazzling pearl that attracts everybody’s attention, would they think about crawling and rolling in a mud pool? It would be a bad memory, wouldn’t it?

Zhou Yuan shook his head, throwing away those thoughts from his mind. What Su Youwei had achieved was through her own hard work, so no matter what choice she made, Zhou Yuan wouldn’t blame her. It was just that they would go separate ways in the future.

“I know that the nine regions tournament isn’t easy, but I also believe that as long as I am given time, I won’t be weaker than anyone.” Zhou Yuan looked directly at Chi Jing in front of him, his eyes resolute and full of utmost confidence.

Chi Jing admired Zhou Yuan’s confidence very much. She nodded. “You have courage. No wonder the master thinks highly of you.

“By the way, the materials you mentioned before are quite special. I’m searching for them now for you, and they shouldn’t be a big problem, but it will take some time.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. The materials he had asked Chi Jing to help him find were what he needed for Silver Shadow’s evolution. He had gathered some of them, but many were quite special and incredibly rare.

When Chi Jing’s voice faded, she waved her hand, and a jade box appeared before them. It opened by itself, revealing four different glowing beast spirit crystals. Each one emitted a ruthless roar, causing the air to vibrate violently.

“These are the beast spirit crystals you wanted. They are all grade 6.”

She thoughtfully looked at Zhou Yuan and said, “You have awakened the Heavenly Yuan Brush to the Spirit Devour stage?”

Zhou Yuan chuckled, “Senior sister is indeed intelligent.”

The nostalgia in Chi Jing’s eyes soon turned to jealousy. “I begged our master for a long time, but he refused to give me the Heavenly Yuan Brush. In the end, it went to you.”

Zhou Yuan forced a smile and dared not speak.

“But it’s good that you’re prepared. The Heavenly Spirit Sect has been plotting for the position of the chief pavilion masters for many years. Given old man Xuan Kun’s personality, he will inevitably give Lu Xiao as much help as possible. Of course, you don’t need to worry, because he won’t dare to go too far,” Chi Jing cautioned.

“Senior sister, don’t worry. I will also go into closed-door cultivation soon.”

Zhou Yuan grasped the red copper sphere, feeling the heat emitting from it.
