Chapter 331 Stirring up a Commotion in Saint Genesis Peak (2/2)

Moreover, from Yaoyao’s usual behaviour, she seemed to hold zero interest in the power struggles between the three factions...

Yuan Hong gave a faint nod when he heard this, his expression returning to its usual calmness.

Lu Hong said, “There’s only a few days till the cave match…”

His gaze swept across the hall, ultimately stopping on the three golden mats at the very front, or to be more precise, the first seat, Wei You.

The latter’s slender body was currently dressed entirely in black, a certain faint sternness visible between his brows.

Upon sensing Lu Hong’s gaze, Wei You smiled slightly, a sliver of pride visible on his face as he softly said, “Relax teacher Lu, it’s just a baptism. Although an eight dragon baptism is very effective, it can’t turn a sheep into a wolf.”

“Whoever dares to reach for the purple Genesis cave dwelling will have his hand chopped off by me.”

Though he seemed to downplay his words, there was a certain seriousness within them, a sign of the absolute confidence he had in himself.

“Hehe, senior brother Wei should try to leave some face for them and not win too easily. After all, we disciples of the same peak will occasionally meet each other.” Flattered a disciple by the side with a smile. His words were similarly filled with confidence towards Wei You.

The other disciples roared with laughter.

None of them were the least bit worried about the upcoming cave match, appearing as if victory was already in their grasp.

Lu Hong nodded, his cold face relaxing a little as he sneered in his heart. Shen Taiyuan was truly short sighted to be so happy for the past two days. It was just a new disciple obtaining an eight dragon baptism by some fluke, did he really believe that it would change anything?

Fine, I’ll let you be happy for now. When the cave match arrives, you will naturally understand how repulsive your disciples are compared to my talented disciples. You should have followed Lu Song’s example long ago, and obediently pull back to the sidelines instead of obstructing my way.

…

While the entire Saint Genesis Peak was abuzz due to Zhou Yuan’s eight dragon baptism, the main actor was not wasting away his time going around bragging to everyone. Instead, he cooped himself up in his cave dwelling and cultivated in peace, digesting the benefits from the eight dragon baptism.

He knew that an eight dragon baptism did not mean anything significant, and it had been his good luck to obtain one. If not for Tuntun and Li Qingchan, he would not have reached an eight dragon baptism.

Even so, he would not undervalue himself either, because borrowing the power others would at times also be a type of strength.

Abandoning one’s advantages and insisting on bashing one’s head against a brick wall was nothing but foolishness.

Hence, Zhou Yuan concentrated on digesting the gains from the eight dragon baptism. What he needed to do next was to deal with the upcoming cave match.

This was going to be his first real battle after coming to Saint Genesis Peak.

To obtain that purple Genesis cave dwelling and become a purple sash disciple as quickly as possible to gain the qualifications to participate in the chief disciple selection at the year end, he needed to perform during the cave match.

In the depths of the cave dwelling, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, the light within them gradually withdrawing as the surging Genesis Qi in his body retreated back to his Qi Dwelling.

After several days of cultivation, Zhou Yuan had finally gained full control over his increased Genesis Qi.

He lowered his head and slowly clenched his fist as he released a soft laugh.

There was finally going to be a challenging battle. Zhou Yuan hoped that the disciples under Lu Hong would not disappoint.
