Chapter 290 Match (2/2)
No one had expected Zhou Yuan to have such charisma. He actually intended to use one of the three partic.i.p.ants as an example!
Was he crazy!
One must know that Tong Long, Pan Song and Cao s.h.i.+ were powerful pract.i.tioners even amongst the fifth layer Alpha-Origin, strength that far surpa.s.sed Lu Feng's. Where had Zhou Yuan found the courage to suggest facing them in battle?
Tong Long, Cao s.h.i.+ and Pan Song were stunned. Soon after, they looked at each other, seeing the amus.e.m.e.nt in each other's eyes.
They too had never expected Zhou Yuan to be so arrogant...
Just below Shen Taiyuan, Zhou Tai was also quite amazed as he let out a helpless chuckle. Junior brother Zhou Yuan was indeed no kind buddha, and refused to lose out even a little.
But was a counter attack like this a little too reckless?
”Hehe, junior brother Zhou Yuan is really something.” Zhang Yan laughed in amus.e.m.e.nt.
The other purple sash disciples also chuckled as they nodded. From their appearances, they clearly felt that Zhou Yuan was not using his head. This was practically akin to a calf being unafraid of a tiger. Sure, he had courage, but he lacked self-awareness.
Shen Taiyuan was both surprised and amazed as he stared at Zhou Yuan. The latter's suggestion had once again surpa.s.sed his expectations. After some silence, he finally said, ”You mean to challenge one of the three to see who is most suitable to partic.i.p.ate in the cave match?”
His gaze flickered in thought as he slowly continued, ”Are you certain Zhou Yuan? Once I agree, there will be no turning back. If you end up losing, the purple Genesis cave dwelling will truly be out of your reach.”
Zhou Yuan nodded with a calm face.
Shen Taiyuan took one deep look at Zhou Yuan, before he ultimately said, ”Since that is your decision, we shall do as you suggested. Which the three do you choose as your opponent?”
Zhou Yuan's gaze slowly s.h.i.+fted under the numerous watching eyes in the hall, no surprise whatsoever as it ultimately paused on Cao s.h.i.+.
Since Cao s.h.i.+ was the one who had kicked up such a fuss, he shall be used to establish Zhou Yuan reputation in Saint Genesis Peak.
Cao s.h.i.+ was likewise unsurprised. Instead, he grinned as he shook his head towards Tong Long and Pan Song, and jokingly said, ”I can't believe that the day will come where I'm being treated as a soft persimmon.”
”Ah well, teaching a new junior how to behave is something a senior should do. I shall accept this challenge.”
His tone indicated that he felt no pressure at all, but was instead ready to toy with Zhou Yuan.
Numerous disciples softly laughed around him.
Shen Taiyuan slowly said, ”Since that is the case, the match between the two of you shall be held five days later. The victor shall be allowed to become one of the three partic.i.p.ants for the cave match.”
Shen Taiyuan's gaze paused on Zhou Yuan's figure. He had still decided to give Zhou Yuan more time, because from a certain point of view, he hoped that Zhou Yuan would really be able to create a miracle. If that happened, it would mean that Zhou Yuan truly did possess the potential that would enable him to stand against the ma.s.ses.
However, if Zhou Yuan were to lose, Shen Taiyuan would not be able to stop himself from feeling disappointed, because it meant that Zhou Yuan's was merely reckless, and someone with such character could never be destined for greater things.
Shen Taiyuan slowly withdrew his gaze as he sighed softly inside.
”Zhou Yuan, I hope that you do not disappoint me…”
