Chapter 276 Champion of the Ceremony (2/2)

However, Zhou Yuan had defeated him.

She clearly understood that Zhou Yuan was from some remote continent, and naturally could not match the cultivation resources of people like them from the prestigious clans of the Shengzhou Continent. And yet, the latter had still managed to grasp victory in the end.

Just how amazing was he?

Gu Hongyi's pursed her red lips, recalling the first time she saw him. Back then, he had been mocked by many because he had used the back door to become a first cla.s.s disciple. Everyone had thought only disdain for him then. However, who could have foreseen that the one they looked down on would stand at the pinnacle of the peak selection ceremony three months later, becoming an existence they now had to raise their heads to look at.

”Looks like you saved me.” Yang Xiu suddenly let out a bitter chuckle.

There was wariness in his eyes as he gazed at Zhou Yuan's figure and sighed. He knew that if he was the one fighting the latter, his defeat would have been even swifter and more miserable.

As such, Gu Hongyi's obstruction had ended up saving his face.

While the numerous disciples were practically in frenzy, there was also a little disturbance in the Genesis Qi clouds above.

Sect master Qing Yang looked at the youthful figure and nodded his head with a smile. ”Not bad. As expected of the one who obtained teacher's Saint blood baptism.”

A soul stirring smile appeared on peak master Liu Lianyi's gorgeous face. Her eyes turned as she looked towards Ling Jun and grinned, ”It seems that your Sword Cometh Peak miscalculated.”

The smile on Ling Jun's fair as jade face receded slightly. One could tell that this outcome had exceeded his expectations. However, he was after all a hegemon and someone whose thoughts were pretty much impossible to read. Therefore, he responded in a nonchalant voice, ”This young one is extraordinary, Lu Feng's loss is not without reason.”

He deeply looked at Zhou Yuan, before turning to the rubble where Lu Feng had collapse, taking a mere glance before withdrawing his gaze, evidently extremely disappointed in the latter.

Beside him, Lu Xuanyin's pretty face was deathly pale. She gazed at the golden stone platform in a daze, before suddenly feeling a wave of humiliation drown her as she lost control of herself and said, ”How can Lu Feng have lost to him? Zhou Yuan must have cheated!”

The moment these words left her mouth, she sensed Ling Jun's stern and powerful gaze sweep towards her, causing her to instantly clamped her mouth in fear.

”This is no place for you to speak. You will seek punishment after returning to the Sworth Cometh Peak.” Ling Jun's tone was one of indifference.

Lu Xuanyin trembled, not faring to object as she hurriedly lowered her head and acknowledged.

Sect master Qing Ying's deep as the night gaze looked downwards. All of the 9999 placings had already been decided, the peak selection ceremony clearly already near its end.

However, he was a little surprised that six of the top ten spots came from non Shengzhou continents, an event that rarely occurred. After all, the disciples from the Shengzhou Continent had many advantages over those from other continents.

As for first place, it would go to a Shengzhou disciple eight out of ten times. Zhou Yuan's strong showing this time was truly akin to a stunning dark horse.

Sect master Qing Yang waved his sleeve, causing specks of light to fall from the sky, like dew as it landed on everyone on the stone platforms.

The specks of light submerged into the many disciples bodies, and they were pleasantly surprised to discover their Genesis Qi instantly recover. In addition, their numerous injuries were now fully healed.

”We thank sect master!” The numerous disciples cupped their fists together.

Sect master Qing Yang chuckle softly, before his grand voice rang out, ”Starting today, all of you will be part of the inner mountains.”

Joy was revealed on the faces of the disciples on the 9999 stone platforms upon hearing this, as if a burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Sect master Qing Yang's gaze turned towards the top ten figures as he continued, ”The top ten may choose their peaks, and will also be bestowed the status of a gold sash disciple, allowing them to enjoy the cultivation resources of a gold sash disciple.”

Before the many disciples gazes could shoot over, his gaze had already paused on Zhou Yuan's body as a smile emerged on his face, his voice also growing much warmer and kinder.

”Zhou Yuan, as the champion of the ceremony, you may also select your peak.”

”I'll ask you now, which of Cangxuan's seven peaks do you wish to join?”
