Chapter 255 Method (1/2)
Qiao Xiu was very efficient. By the time afternoon arrived, he had already invited over all of the outstanding individuals from other continents amongst the current batch of outer mountain disciples.
In a certain little house by the mountain creek.
Zhou Yuan was seated on a rock, a dozen youthful figures seated before him. Robust Genesis Qi spread from these figures, every action and gesture they made filled with a certain aura of pride.
Most of the individuals whom had been invited were after all elites amongst the first cla.s.s disciples. They were normally surrounded by many of their peers, enjoying the feeling the world seemingly revolving around them. Hence, it was natural that they did not lack pride.
Especially the two figures at the very front, a young man and woman.
The young lady wore a long dark cyan dress, her fine black hair reaching all the way to her waist. Her face was pretty, and her skin white as snow. She was called Song Wanxi, and was quite well known amongst the outer mountain disciples. Due to her good looks, she had many admirers.
The male wore long gold robes, his hair scattered behind him. His wild looking face gave off a proud aura.
He was known as Zhao Kun.
These two were also ranked amongst the top ten outer mountain disciples, and could be said to be one of the rare few from the other continents that were able to vie with the Shengzhou disciples.
Song Wanxi appeared calm, though her eyes would covertly sweep towards Zhou Yuan to examine him.
Zhao Kun, on the other hand, was even more unbridled, his gaze uncourteously sizing up Zhou Yuan, as if trying to discover the latter's bottom line.
Song Wanxi inquired in a soft and gentle voice, ”May I ask why junior brother Zhou Yuan has gotten Qiao Xiu to gather us here?”
The numerous disciples present cast their gazes over.
If it was two months prior, not a single one of them would have answered Zhou Yuan's call. However, Zhou Yuan's reputation had recently rose, making no one dare to underestimate him. Thus, they had decided to come here out of respect after listening to Qiao Xiu's words.
Zhou Yuan's expression was calm as he gazed upon the group. There was no beating about the bush as he said, ”I believe everyone has already heard of how Lu Feng intends to divide the top ten spots in the peak selection ceremony.”
Everyone could not help but frown slightly upon hearing this.
Zhao Kun let out an icy chuckle. ”This matter may even be related to junior brother Zhou Yuan.”
”Are you trying to say that if there was no feud between me and Lu Feng, he would put up with you guys?” Zhou Yuan's eyes hardened slightly as he looked towards Zhao Kun and said in a cold voice, ”Hoping for others be more lenient and give you some sc.r.a.ps, is this all your dignity is worth?”
By the side, Qiao Xiu and Shen Wanjin were alarmed, not expecting Zhou Yuan's words to be so sharp even at the start.
Sure enough, the numerous disciples present began to buzz angrily, rage filling their eyes as they looked towards Zhou Yuan. Their proud selves were evidently unable to accept Zhou Yuan's words.
Zhao Kun's complexion turned green with anger as he gnashed his teeth and said, ”You do have a way with words, why not go reason with Lu Feng.”
A trace of unhappiness could also be seen on Song Wanxi's pretty face as she said, ”Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you should also know how powerful Lu Feng is. What else can we do but be accommodating?”
”If you asked us here only to humiliate us, then we will not accompany any further.”
Zhou Yuan's eyelids lowered slightly as he looked towards the indignant crowd and said, ”Looks like you guys still have a bit of fight in you. If not, it would have been meaningless to gather you.”
He shook his head, looking directly at them as he cut straight to the point. ”I've asked all of you here to tell you that I intend to contest for first place with Lu Feng in the peak selection ceremony.”
”If you guys don't plan on struggling for those two pathetic spots, listen to my instructions when the time comes.”
Qiao Xiu grabbed his face. Zhou Yuan's words were way too direct. It seemed as if he had no plans of trying to properly talk things out.
Sure enough, the numerous disciples looked to each other, before sn.i.g.g.e.rs began to emerge.
”What shameless boasting. A first layer like you intends to vie for first place with Lu Feng?” Zhao Kun was the first to lose control. ”How much did your arrogance swell after defeating Zhu Yue in a Genesis technique match?”
”Naive Time is pressing for me, so I'm afraid that I can't afford to entertain your delusions any longer.”
Zhao Kun coldly snorted as he stood up, intending to leave.
Song Wanxi also shook her head. Zhou Yuan seemed to be way too arrogant.
There was only indifference on Zhou Yuan's face as he watched Zhao Kun stand up. The former knew that words were useless with these proud and unyielding fellows. The only way for them to submit was to beat them till they were convinced.
Hence, he immediately said, ”Receive a strike from me and I will apologize right here, right now.”
”Arrogant!” Zhao Kun's eyes widened as he laughed in anger.
Rumble!
However, Zhou Yuan could no longer be bothered to speak. He formed a seal with one hand, before his palm suddenly flew forth.
Vigorous Genesis Qi abruptly erupted, akin to a flood of gold as it roared out from Zhou Yuan's palm. When it surged out, it seemed to turn into a giant lizard covered in dragon scales that released a dragon like roar.
An extremely alarming aura violently unfurled.
This palm strike had clearly been imbued with the Nine Dragons Canon!
The Genesis Qi faintly shaped like a giant lizard was the dragon type Genesis Beast essence blood Zhou Yuan refined. However, it appeared somewhat indistinct because he had yet to fully refine it.
