Chapter 966 Bully (1/2)

Hence, numerous individuals secretly sighed in relief when they realized Zhao Mushen’s pressure was directed at Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region.

It was also very surprising. After all, most of them had never heard of any disagreements between the two.

However, such things were unimportant at this juncture. Several people gloatingly imagined how sullen Zhou Yuan would feel if he was eliminated with the main event right before his eyes.

A mocking smile rose from the corners of Xu Ming’s mouth as he shook his head. It seemed he would not even have a turn to deal with Zhou Yuan.

Yuan Kun of the Yushou Region could not help but sigh as he stroked his fat cheeks. In the face of someone as fearsome as Zhao Mushen, even he had to be extremely cautious. If Zhao Mushen chose to attack Zhou Yuan, Yuan Kun would be unable to help. After all, he still needed to be responsible for the Yushou Region, and offending the Wanzu Region’s Zhao Mushen wouldn’t be wise.

Jiu Gong’s expression appeared a little regretful. She had already sensed Zhou Yuan’s potential from their previous encounter. If he could unblock his ninth Divine Dwelling, his battle prowess would likely rank among the top four. At that time, even Zhao Mushen would not have an easy time against him.

What a pity...it seems Zhao Mushen does not plan on giving Zhou Yuan the opportunity to continue growing. However, it is not shameful to lose to the likes of Zhao Mushen.

Even someone as proud as Jiu Gong admired Zhao Mushen’s overwhelming power.

Zhou Yuan may have the qualifications to vie with Zhao Mushen in the future but not now. However, by the time Zhou Yuan reached that step, Zhao Mushen might have already advanced to the Heavenly Sun stage. At that time, the gap between them would only grow larger.

This was the path of cultivation. Once you were a step behind, you would always be a step behind. Catching up was not easy.

Wu Yao was standing in the Wushen Region camp, wearing a bright red dress. Her arms were crossed, and she was giving off a dignified and powerful aura. She narrowed her eyes slightly, light flickering within them. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Lan Ting and Zhao Yunxiao stood a little behind her. Zhao Yunxiao’s complexion was still somewhat pale as he viciously glared at Zhou Yuan’s figure. Earlier, Zhou Yuan had nearly killed him in the mini domain.

Lan Ting silently stood to one side. He was likewise aware of Zhao Yunxiao’s encounter with Zhou Yuan. Since Lan Ting was equal in strength to Zhao Yunxiao, Zhou Yuan could likely defeat him too.

The two that were brimming with confidence before the tournament no longer had much pride left within them.

Wu Yao covertly swept a glance at the two and inwardly shook her head. To think that a small loss was all it took to rob them of their drive... It was ironic that they had even looked down on Zhou Yuan previously. In comparison, Zhou Yuan far outclassed them in terms of character and tenacity.

If either of them had experienced the many setbacks he had, it was very likely that both of them would have crumbled, let alone claw their way back onto their feet as he had.

Despite this, if Zhao Mushen acted against Zhou Yuan now, it would still be a huge problem for Zhou Yuan.

In thought, Wu Yao lightly tapped her fingers, her gaze flickering. She did not wish to see Zhao Mushen eliminate Zhou Yuan here because the nine regions tournament was her best chance to retrieve the sacred dragon blessing in Zhou Yuan’s body.

Zhao Mushen was really good at ruining things.

Should she stop him?

Many were watching Zhao Mushen and Zhou Yuan in the starry space, hoping that they would soon see some excitement.

Under these gloating gazes, Zhou Yuan’s expression did not even twitch, though a ruthless look flitted past in the depths of his eyes. He remained expressionless as a silver liquid emerged on the hand in his sleeve and slowly covered his arm.

However, just as Genesis Qi began rushing through his body, another extremely powerful Genesis Qi pressure suddenly appeared in the starry space.

Countless people looked over in bewilderment and saw Su Youwei of the Zixiao Region take a step forward. Space faintly rippled around her, and her pressure was not the least bit weaker than Zhao Mushen’s. It had fully locked onto him.

She did not speak as Genesis Qi churned around her.

This was a warning.

She was warning Zhao Mushen that she would intervene the moment he did anything.

Uproar!
