Chapter 1038 Number of places (1/2)

In the headquarters’ main tent, the Tianyuan Region’s five grand elders had gathered again. But when Mu Ni proposed to have Zhou Yuan participate in the mystical creature battle, sect master Xuan Kun unsurprisingly opposed it.

Sect master Xuan Kun's wrinkled face was tense. He swept a glance over Zhou Yuan. Although Zhou Yuan wasn’t a true grand elder, his status in the Tianyuan Region was unique, and he was eligible to attend meetings of this level. But sect master Xuan Kun wasn’t easier to talk to because of his presence. On the contrary, he said in a deep voice, ”You don't know how important the battles in the twin towers are. According to the list we made before, those with a foundation less than 1.3 billion aren’t qualified to participate. I don’t deny that Zhou Yuan is talented, but he’s only at the initial Heavenly Sun stage.”

Mu Ni said with a smile, “But Nascent Source experts can’t do what he had done on the Chiyun Prefecture battlefield.”

Sect master Xuan Kun argued, “That was a special situation! But the battle in the two towers is going to be a real competition of strength, and any other means will be useless!”

Chi Jing said indifferently, ”Zhou Yuan has the Heavenly Yuan brush, so as long as he awakens the seventh rune, Promotion, his strength will skyrocket, and he will be strong enough to deal with the mystical creature battle.”

Sect master Xuan Kun shook his head, saying stubbornly, “The Heavenly Yuan brush can indeed increase one’s strength, but who can guarantee his foundation can reach at least 1.3 billion with the Promotion rune? If he can’t achieve it, it will be meaningless.”

He looked at Zhou Yuan with fierce, piercing eyes and said, ”Zhou Yuan, you can leave the situation to the top advanced Heavenly Sun experts. You don't need to take such a huge risk. This is best for you and the Tianyuan Region.”

Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly. It was precisely because this matter was too important that he wanted to win a place. He didn't want to leave any matter related to the Ancestral Dragon Lantern to other people, but he didn't want to be in the limelight either. He even hoped that Qin Lian and the others could win three battles so he wouldn’t need to do anything.

”Sect master Xuan Kun, after I awaken the Heavenly Yuan brush’s seventh rune, I will personally talk to the top advanced Heavenly Sun experts you selected. If they have no objection, let me have the last place.”

Sect master Xuan Kun and the others were all taken aback. How could they not know from Zhou Yuan’s tone that he didn’t plan to just talk to the other selected people?

Bian Chang, the Profound Crystal Clan’sLeader, couldn't help chuckling, “No wonder you are supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s disciple. You’re quite courageous.”

”The mythical creature battle is set to happen in one month, and the provisional list of the people chosen will be released. But if you fail to meet our expectations in the end, the final list will also change.”

Zhou Yuan nodded without any objection.

Seeing this, sect master Xuan Kun didn't say anything else. He took another deep look at Zhou Yuan, and then his figure vanished.

Grand elders Bian Chang and Bai Ye also disappeared. The present situation in the Tianyuan Region was very tense, and their Genesis Qi transformations were needed elsewhere.

The atmosphere within the tent eased as they left.

”You really don't rest, ” Chi Jing teased. The mythical creature should have had little to do with Zhou Yuan, an initial Heavenly Sun expert, but he still came forward.

Zhou Yuan sighed, “I really hope I won’t need to appear in the end.”

If he doesn't appear, it means that everything is going well, but if he has to come to the rescue, it means the situation is very bad. So, he would rather not be in the limelight.

“Give me the Heavenly Yuan brush,” Mu Ni said with a smile.

Zhou Yuan quickly took out the mottled black brush, respectfully handed it to Mu Ni, and said sweetly, “I will have to trouble Aunt Ni.”

Mu Ni received the Heavenly Yuan brush and stroked the body lightly. It immediately provoked strong surges of nostalgia, and her expression softened. ”I haven't seen it in many years.”

After a good while, she smiled at Zhou Yuan and said, ”It will take some time to awaken the seventh rune, but it should be done within a month.”
