Chapter 992 Dust Settles (1/2)

The Law Domain experts present all sensed that the Genesis Qi had frozen under the starry sky. They immediately exchanged glances with one another, looking a little bewildered. It was obvious that nobody thought the matter would draw the attention of a supreme sovereign.

Some gazes swept over Wushen Region’s Jin Zhong. The person who intervened and protected the Sacred Dragon Blessing in Wu Yao’s body had to be the supreme sovereign of the Wushen Region.

There wasn't a ripple of emotion on Jin Zhong’s face, and he made no comment on the matter.

Zhao Xiansun's expression was cloudy ever since Zhao Mushen was eliminated, but he couldn't help but remark coldly, “Supreme sovereign Wu Shen really protects his juniors well. He even personally came forward to intervene and broke the rules.”

He was unhappy because he expected Zhou Yuan to kill Wu Yao and make the relationship between the Tianyuan Region and the Wushen Region drop to a freezing point, but supreme sovereign Wu Shen had come out and messed it up. How could he not be disappointed and angry?

Jin Zhong responded indifferently, “If you have an opinion on this, you can go to the Wushen Region and speak to the supreme sovereign yourself.”

Zhao Xiansun snorted coldly and shot a fierce stare in Chi Jing’s direction.

Chi Jing ignored him and continued to stare at the light mirror. She slowly relaxed her clenched hands in her sleeves, relieved to see that Zhou Yuan hadn’t taken away the last bit of the Sacred Dragon Blessing. It wasn't the time for the Tianyuan Region and the Wushen Region to tear each other’s faces yet. But she also understood the reason for Zhou Yuan's action. He was just taking back what belonged to him.

The present situation was what was best for the Tianyuan Region.

After all, Zhou Yuan had defeated Zhao Mushen and won first place in the nine regions tournament, which would inevitably attract countless attention. Some forces might even feel unconvinced and indignant. Therefore, the Tianyuan Region could be said to be at the eye of the storm, and it would be unwise to become enemies with the Wushen Region at this time.

“Zhou Yuan, leave the last bit of the Sacred Dragon Blessing in Wu Yao’s body for now. There is going to be another opportunity in the future,” Chi Jing said in her mind. When Cang Yuan returns and the Tianyuan Region rises again, as long as Zhou Yuan fairly defeats Wu Yao again, even supreme sovereign Wu Shen wouldn’t be able to interfere anymore.

He had to be tolerant and forbearant for now.

...

On the plain.

Zhou Yuan withdrew the Genesis Qi circulating around his body and swept a glance over Wu Yao without saying anything. He then turned and strode towards Su Youwei.

In her view, Zhou Yuan had only stopped due to the oppression of supreme sovereign Wu Shen. Wu Yao, who had always been competitive and feisty, couldn't accept this sort of behavior because she never liked using power to intimidate people. There was absolutely no need for the power of others for her to prove herself.

Zhou Yuan said snappily, “Lose to you? You’re indeed arrogant.”

Wu Yao took a deep breath and said, “You did come in front of everyone this time, but you shouldn't be so overconfident. After the nine regions tournament ends, everyone will start breaking through to the Heavenly Sun stage, and you won't have such a huge advantage over them then.”

Zhou Yuan didn't respond. He would similarly prepare to attack the Heavenly Sun stage after harvesting all the Alpha Spiritium born from the remains in the depths of the statue. He didn't believe that he would lose to Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao and the others in breaking through to the Heavenly Sun stage, given the fact he had broken the limit of the Divine Dwelling stage.

He came to stand next to Su Youwei and said, “You should stay here and recover your Genesis Qi first.”

Su Youwei and Wu Yao had both exhausted their Genesis Qi. In their present state, they couldn't compete with the others for the second stone statue.

Zhou Yuan whispered, “I would give this place to you, but it’s very important for me to win first place in the nine regions tournament...”

Su Youwei smiled. “You won with your own strength. Why are you saying this to me?”

She gazed at Zhou Yuan with her beautiful eyes. Even if Zhou Yuan gave her this place, she wouldn't accept it, but his gesture filled her heart with sweetness.

Zhou Yuan sat down, exhausted. His face was grey with fatigue, but the battle with Zhao Mushen had indeed been thrilling. Zhou Yuan could finally relax. “That guy...he was really tricky to deal with.”

Su Youwei sat down gracefully beside him. Absorbing the universe Genesis Qi, she pursed her lips and said, “But Your Highness had the last laugh. After today, your name will cause a sensation in Hunyuan Heaven.”

Zhou Yuan scratched his head, saying, “Are you not going to change the way you address me? You are now the pearl of the Zixiao Region, and my identity as the prince of the Great Zhou is a joke in Hunyuan Heaven!”
