Chapter 268 Fight for the Top (1/2)

9999 stone platforms were gathered in the shape of a pyramid as they floated in the sky, dazzling brilliantly when the rays of the sun s.h.i.+ned upon them.

Boom! Boom!

At this current moment, berserk Genesis Qi violently pulsed from numerous platforms.

One would see a swarm of glowing figures continuously leaping upwards, jumping from platform to platform as they climbed.

There was pretty much no other rules for this peak selection ceremony. At the center of each stone platform was a mat. As long as someone could sit on it without being disturbed for an incense stick of time, the stone platform would close, restricting anyone else from entering. When this happened, it would mean that the platform had been occupied.

Any means could be used to achieve this.

Therefore, when someone powerful appeared on a stone platform, others might gang up on this individual, making the situation extremely chaotic.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Zhou Yuan, Song Wanxi, Zhao Kun and the rest stuck close together as stone platform after stone platform rapidly pa.s.sed by under their feet, their figures never lingering even for a second.

There was slightly over fifty people in their group, each an elite amongst the outer mountain disciples. Hence, their goal was the top hundred in the peak selection ceremony and this place was clearly not their final destination.

A short distance to their front on the right was another group leaping past platform after platform. They were the Shengzhou disciples led by Lu Feng.

The gazes on both sides clashed from time to time, sparks flying.

Although the numbers of these two parties were nothing special when taking into account all the outer mountain factions, they were two most unified groups, hence why their every action seemed exceptionally attention grabbing.

The other disciples on the stone platforms gave way one after another, not daring to compete with these two groups.

As time pa.s.sed in this manner, the two groups of disciples rapidly pa.s.sed by numerous platforms and began to gradually approach the upper area of the pyramid.

This was where the top one hundred stone platforms lay.

The disciples that were confident enough to come here were all powerful in their own right. Thus, the battles between them grew increasingly intense.

By this point, individuals from the two groups finally began to break off and select their stone platforms, not advancing any further.

Of course, besides the two factions led by Zhou Yuan and Lu Feng, there were also many other disciples vieing for these stone platforms, which consisted of both Shengzhou and non Shengzhou disciples.

After all, not every outstanding disciple had been recruited by Zhou Yuan and Lu Feng. Even more had chosen to remain neutral, declining to be part of the grudge between the two parties.

However, they were currently faced with the situation of limited platforms. Hence, they no longer cared which party anyone belonged to, directly engaging any compet.i.tor they met in combat.

Lu Feng was at the very front, his icy gaze occasionally sweeping towards Zhou Yuan, who was just a short distance behind.

He had originally planned to recruit elite Shengzhou disciples and forcibly occupy the top ten spots. If Zhou Yuan dared to contest, the group would gang up on him and chase him off.

If that were the case, Zhou Yuan would not even have the chance to duke it out with Lu Feng.

However, Lu Feng had not expected that Zhou Yuan would also recruit a group of elite disciples. Together, they were an extremely strong force, making it impossible for his initial plan to work.

”Since that is so, I will personally stomp you into the ground!” Lu Feng's eyes were filled with ridicule. As long as Zhou Xiaoyao did not interfere, he would let Zhou Yuan understand the gap between them.

He wanted Zhou Yuan to know that a peasant like him should have obediently stayed in his s.h.i.+tty peasant village.

How could a peasant like him have designs on a girl blessed by the heavens like Gu Hongyi?

Lu Feng raised his head as the top most area of the pyramid came into view. Nine silver stone platforms glittered under the sun. These were the top ten spots.

By this time, there were only nine figures remaining behind him. However, powerful Genesis Qi undulations spread from all of them, clearly showing that each one was formidable individual qualified to compete for the top ten.

Their eyes gradually began to burn with excitement, clearly understanding that the true battle was finally about to begin.

”Qin Zhen, Lei Hongytao, Gu Meng…”

Lu Feng took in a deep breath. In the next instant, a shout akin to thunder boomed, ”Do it!”

The instant Lu Feng shouted, ominous glints flashed in the eyes of Qin Zhen and the rest as waves of berserk Genesis Qi violently swept unfurled, transforming into streams that bombarded Zhou Yuan's group.

Several torrents of Genesis Qi whizzed towards them. Zhou Yuan's gaze flickered faintly, but no change could be seen on his face, evidently having already antic.i.p.ated this.

He extended a hand and gave a slight wave.

Behind him, Song Wanxi, Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest also acted together as Genesis Qi flooded the sky, directly clas.h.i.+ng against the other side's attacks.

Rumble!

Berserk Genesis Qi shockwaves unfurled like a storm.

It was extremely chaotic.

Qin Zhen and the rest sternly shouted, ”Zhou Yuan, if you want to pa.s.s, you'll have to first ask if we agree!”

”Haha, Qing Zhen, the likes of you does not have the qualifications to obstruct young brother Yuan. I'll be the one to play with you!” The moment Qin Zhen's voice was heard, Zhao Kun shot forward, howling with laughter.
