Chapter 914 Stably in Ninth Position (2/2)

If Zhou Yuan wasn’t in the Tianyuan Region and didn’t occupy a high and mighty position, Wu Yao would want to find a chance to get rid of this hidden danger before he revealed his fangs.

As Wu Yao thought of the danger Zhou Yuan would bring, a blazing battle intent gushed from the depths of her eyes.

“Zhou Yuan, no one will come to help you this time!

“If you’re only at this level, don't blame me for taking away the sacred dragon qi in your body.”

.....

Zixiao Region.

Many Zixiao Region disciples were gathered in a ring-shaped, arena-like building.

They were all staring at the center of the building where a bead was emitting rays of light. The light intertwined to form a light screen depicting two figures in a fierce match. It was Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong.

The bead was the Zixiao Region’s image retaining stone, and it was showing the match between Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong.

The battle gradually came to an end, ending in Zhou Yuan's victory.

Many exclamations erupted. It was clear that the result wasn’t what the disciples had expected.

“Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region is indeed quite capable...”

“It is said that his Divine Dwellings have only opened up to the seventh dwelling. Once he connects through to the ninth Divine Dwelling, how strong would his Genesis Qi foundation be?”

“He mustn’t be underestimated.”

“......”

At the forefront of the many disciples, Xue Jingtao withdrew his gaze. Compared to the others, who were gasping in astonishment, he appeared much more indifferent.

“Oh, senior brother Xue, what do you think of Zhou Yuan?” someone asked with a smile.

Xue Jingtao smiled. “He isn’t weak, but it isn’t that easy to stand out in the nine regions tournament.”

“Does senior brother Xue have the confidence to defeat him?” someone asked curiously.

Xue Jingtao simply smiled. Although he didn’t answer the question, the arrogance contained in his smile revealed his answer. As a result, all the surrounding disciples all sighed in admiration and began complimenting him.

Xue Jingtao waved his hand and said in a modest voice, “I am nothing compared to junior sister Youwei.”

His gaze shifted to his right, where a graceful figure stood up and walked down the walkway toward him. It was Su Youwei.

Xue Jingtao discovered a joyful smile on Su Youwei’s beautiful face.

His heart fluttered, and when Su Youwei was near, he said with a smile, “Given junior sister Youwei’s strength, this battle must be a little boring.”

Su Youwei shook her head. “Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region has extraordinary potential. If he can connect all nine Divine Dwellings, only a handful of people in the nine regions tournament stand a chance against him. Even I don’t have much confidence in winning.

“So, senior brother Xue, you shouldn’t misjudge people. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble, and I won’t be able to save you.”

She spoke gently, but her voice contained an underlying warning. After speaking, she strode away, leaving Xue Jingtao standing there stiffly.

....

The match between Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong had created a lot of waves in the Hunyuan Heaven. Many people realized that the Tianyuan Region’s foundation wasn’t weak despite deteriorating over the years.

However, there were more people commenting that the battle didn’t reveal anything. Everything still depended on the nine regions tournament.

If the Tianyuan Region still ranked last in the upcoming nine regions tournament, all this would mean nothing. After all, the Tianyuan region was one of the nine regions and needed to follow the examples of the other top forces, not lower its status to compare itself with the Tri-Mountain Alliance.

The nine regions tournament was the real measuring stone!
