Chapter 477 Aspiring for Firs (2/2)

His entire body was drenched in blood, his somewhat crooked arm clearly broken in quite a number of places.

A look of terror was still present on Yuan Hong’s face as he struggled to lift his head. His gaze penetrated the falling boulders to find the figure high up in the sky.

He emitted a struggling hiss from his throat as he reached out to grab at the figure with some difficulty.

His eyes were filled with an intense unresigned look.

He never imagined that he would actually lose to Zhou Yuan...

A new disciple he had never even registered as a threat… had managed to defeat him?! The almighty Yuan Hong?!

The gazes of two individuals met amidst the falling boulders.

“I... I refuse to accept this!! How can you possibly have defeated me?!” A hoarse howl of rage was accompanied by a gush blood.

His body glowed with scarlet light. In the end, a sword shot out, wailing as it stabbed into the ground beside him. It was the Heaven Flame Sword.

The Heaven Genesis Weapon had already turned extremely dim, a sign that it had also sustained serious damage.

After the Heaven Flame Sword left his body, the light in Yuan Hong’s eyes began to waver. He stared at the cold eyes of the young figure in the sky, as his outstretched hand slowly began to fall...

No matter how unresigned he was, Yuan Hong understood that in this chief disciple selection...

He had lost.

…

Boulders continued to tumble down, covering the giant pit.

Urgh.

In the air, Zhou Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and saliva as the Genesis Qi around him gradually weakened. The intense battle had been an extremely difficult one for him.

If he failed to ascend to the fifth layer at the end, he would have no choice but to bring out Silver Shadow.

Currently, by borrowing Yuan Hong’s power, Zhou Yuan had not only mastered the silver bone stage, but also stepped into the fifth layer, a very satisfactory and perfect end indeed.

Zhou Yuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and raised his head to glance at a certain spot in the distance, where Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and Zhang Yan were gathered, staring at him with gazes that were a mix between shock and horror.

It was as if they had seen a ghost.

Due to their close proximity, they had witnessed how Zhou Yuan had made a comeback from a near hopeless situation, and ultimately crushed Yuan Hong under his heel.

The resultant shock was so intense that it was impossible to increase it any further.

Lu Yan swallowed again and again, a complicated expression on her pretty face.

How could she have ever imagined that the new disciple she always looked down on would end up defeating Yuan Hong, doing something that even the combined efforts of the three top tier purple sash disciples had failed to achieve.

“Junior brother Zhou Yuan… this is… too fierce, right?” Mumbled Zhou Tai.

Zhang Yan was silent, but the shock in his eyes was unconcealable. In fact, there was even a trace of respect in his gaze when he looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled at them, before turning to the side towards the still dazedly standing Han Yu. The only person left who had yet to be eliminated was her.

“Senior sister Han Yu, shall we have a little bout?” Zhou Yuan grinned.

Once he eliminated Han Yu, he would be the only remaining participant, and the chief disciple position would naturally become his.

Han Yu was first stunned by these words, before she anxiously backed away as if having seen some kind of terrifying creature. In the end, she fainted.

Basically scared out of consciousness.

Zhou Yuan was stunned by this sight for a moment, before he awkwardly scratched his head, split between whether to laugh or to cry. It seems that watching him beat Yuan Hong earlier had terrified her too much, making Han Yu unable to bear the physiological stress of facing Zhou Yuan now.

However, being unconscious meant that she was now disqualified.

He was the only remaining participant in the entire chief disciple peak.

At this thought, even Zhou Yuan felt his heart begin to rise in his chest.

He lifted his head, looking towards the sky as he cupped his fists together.

“The Saint Genesis Peak chief disciple selection is over, will sect master please bestow the title onto me.”

His clear and powerful voice sounded in the silent surroundings.
