Chapter 1043 Qualification (2/2)
At the sight of the rowdy hall, Qin Lian said icily, “Everyone who was part of the Chiyun Prefecture battle has witnessed Zhou Yuan’s capabilities. Although his cultivation is at the initial Heavenly Sun stage, he cannot be compared to any ordinary initial Heavenly Sun expert!”
Several of the Heavenly Sun experts in the hall gave slight nods of acknowledgment. They had participated in that battle, and Zhou Yuan’s feats had indeed been miraculous.
Bai Yu nonchalantly said, “Although I was not present at the Chiyun Prefecture battle, I’ve heard that Zhou Yuan merely borrowed the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power. I do not deny that it was a heroic effort, but the problem is that he cannot rely on such methods in the Heavenly Sun Tower Battle.
“Qin Lian, do you dare to guarantee that he possesses sufficient strength to face the peak experts of the advanced Heavenly Sun stage in direct combat? If something unexpected happens and our Tianyuan Region ends up losing face, will you be able to bear the consequences?”
His words were akin to exceptionally sharp daggers. Even Qin Lian was unable to respond for a time.
She did not doubt that Zhou Yuan could put up a fight against intermediate Heavenly Sun experts, but if it were the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, she felt that he was still somewhat lacking.
Qin Lian originally felt that they only needed to win three fights for the battle to end. In that scenario, Zhou Yuan would not need to come out.
However, this was the most optimistic situation. No one knew whether the Great Five Alliance had any tricks up their sleeves...
While Qin Lian was silent, Bian Buji, who had not talked since the beginning, slowly said, “This matter is very important, and I do not wish for any burdens among the five participants. We’re not playing around here but representing the Tianyuan Region’s Heavenly Sun stage!”
With even the usually neutral Bian Buji displaying his stance, the Heavenly Sun experts in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Lian did not say anything else because she knew that she did not have enough reason to convince the two.
The three Nascent Source experts felt their heads begin to ache again.
Creak!
The sound of a door opening was heard at this moment.
Numerous people gazed over with frowns and found a slim figure standing at the entrance.
When they saw who it was, their eyes immediately widened.
Zhou Yuan!
To think that he had appeared!
The hall fell silent once more. No Heavenly Sun expert dared to criticize Zhou Yuan in his face because his status put them under a substantial amount of pressure. However, this did not stop them from staring at him with cold eyes, using their silence to signify their opposition.
Zhou Yuan remained expressionless and composed under the many varying gazes as he walked to the center of the hall, stopping in front of Wang Ping and Lu Ping.
He looked at the two individuals, and they fearlessly met his gaze. They were proud practitioners, after all.
Zhou Yuan raised his gaze and indifferently said, “Useless people always believe that others are as useless as themselves.”
His words instantly drew anger from the numerous Heavenly Sun experts. Zhou Yuan dared to call them useless?!
However, before any of them could speak, they saw dazzling Genesis Qi light spread from behind Zhou Yuan as a grand glass sun slowly appeared. However, the sun was somewhat unique—faint glowing patterns adorned its surface.
The shocking thing, however, was the terrifying Genesis Qi pressure that began to fill the hall.
The eyes of numerous Heavenly Sun experts widened little by little as disbelief flooded their eyes.
They seemed to see countless stars twinkling in the glass sun.
The number had reached…
1.5 billion!
Qin Lian’s, Mu Youlan’s, Bai Yu’s and Bian Buji’s hearts shook as inconceivable looks emerged in their eyes.
Amidst the shock and silence, Zhou Yuan’s indifferent voice rang out, “Is this enough?”
