Venerable Yuan

The competition between Zhou Yuan and Cao Shi still caused some waves in Saint Origin Peak, but the disciples of Lu Song and Lu Hong undoubtedly regarded it as a joke and did not pay too much attention to it.

Of course, this is normal, because even within Elder Shen's lineage, few people are optimistic about Zhou Yuan, even though he is the first in the so-called mountain selection ceremony.

After all, no matter what, Cao Shi is a genuine and veteran disciple, the fifth level of Taichu Realm, and his strength is far superior to Lu Feng.

In the eyes of many old disciples, the competition between Zhou Yuan and Cao Shi was obviously asking for trouble.

And with many disciples holding this mentality, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

...

A huge stone platform stands on the mist-shrouded green pines.

At this time, there were already people surrounding the stone platform. Even Shen Taiyuan was sitting on it. Today was the competition between Zhou Yuan and Cao Shi. Naturally, he wanted to sit here to avoid any accidents.

In addition to them, there are also some disciples from the two lineages here, obviously waiting to see a good show.

Of course, the good show they want to see is probably Zhou Yuan's defeat. After all, Zhou Yuan is so popular that he still ranks first in the Mountain Selection Ceremony. But because he is a new disciple of the inner mountain, he is not qualified enough. Now that they see someone dealing with him, others will naturally Also happy to see the results.

On the side of the stone platform, Cao Shi was smiling. There were many disciples surrounding him. They surrounded him in the center like stars holding the moon. Judging from his appearance, he was quite relaxed. Obviously, he was not too worried about today. The competition is treated as one thing.

call out!

A source of energy cloud swept from a distance, and finally landed on the side of the stone platform. It was Zhou Yuan. Next to him, Yaoyao was also standing against the wind. Her grace was as cold as an immortal, so stunning that she attracted many eyes. Continuously projected.

"Master Shen." Zhou Yuan looked around and noticed the joking glances. He didn't pay much attention to them. He just looked at Shen Taiyuan and clasped his fists.

Shen Taiyuan nodded towards him with a complicated expression. He was really optimistic about Zhou Yuan's potential, so he was not very willing to let Zhou Yuan conflict with Cao Shi at this time.

But he also knew that it was precisely because he valued Zhou Yuan too much that other old disciples felt it was unfair, so they targeted Zhou Yuan, but why didn't these fools think about it, if they could live up to their expectations, why would he need to be so lonely? A throw?

If Zhou Yuan loses in today's contest, he will definitely stop fighting and keep a low profile for a period of time. In this case, Ziyuan Cave Mansion will probably not fall into his hands.

Without these resources, it would undoubtedly be more difficult for Zhou Yuan to catch up with those veteran purple belt disciples.

With emotions surging in his heart, Shen Taiyuan finally sighed secretly, nodded to Zhou Yuan, then looked at Cao Shi, and said: "This is a competition within the sect, and it should be over."

When Cao Shi heard this, he smiled brightly and said, "Master Shen, don't worry. After all, we are brothers. I will show mercy."

After the words fell, he moved and landed on the stone platform. He cast a playful gaze on Zhou Yuan and said, "Junior brother Zhou Yuan, if you admit defeat at this time, you may be able to avoid suffering. After all, there will always be unhappiness between fists and feet. .”

Zhou Yuan ignored him and fell onto the stone platform, standing opposite Cao Shi with a calm expression.

But when the two people looked at each other, there was a cold light passing through them.

Below Shen Taiyuan, all the purple-belt disciples were watching the confrontation between the two.

"Haha, senior brother Zhou Tai, our junior brother has potential, but he is a bit unruly. I only hope that after today's incident, he can restrain himself. At least he should know how to be respectful and courteous to the senior brothers." Zhang Yan smiled at Zhou Tai beside him.

Zhou Tai frowned when he heard this. He was gentle and generous. Although his talent was not excellent, he was quite prestigious among Shen Taiyuan's disciples.

Regarding Zhou Yuan's arrival, he could feel Shen Taiyuan's joy, which made him feel a little guilty and ashamed, because if it weren't for his disciple's lack of ability, Master Shen would not be like this.

Therefore, he was quite kind to Zhou Yuan because he sincerely hoped that a character would emerge from their lineage.

But obviously not all disciples have the same temperament as him. Just like this Zhang Yan, he just doesn't like Master Shen's regard for Zhou Yuan, so this time it is Cao Shi who is coming forward, but behind it, presumably This Zhang Yan is helping.

Moreover, Zhou Tai also knew that Junior Brother Zhang Yan was not very impressed with his senior brother, because the latter was more talented than him. Although he started later than him, he was now close to catching up with him, so he was in contact with him on weekdays. , and I don’t have much respect for him.

"Junior brother Zhang Yan and junior brother Zhou Yuan have great potential. Being able to come to our Saint Origin Peak and Master Shen's sect is also our family's luck. With the training resources given to him now, he will definitely be able to achieve greater success in the future. in return." Zhou Tai said.

Zhang Yan was still smiling, but there was a sneer in his eyes, and he said: "Senior Brother Zhou Tai's words are too flattering. He does have some potential. I don't deny it, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified to say it." It’s our family’s luck.”

"So what if you come first in the Mountain Selection Ceremony? Can you be sure to enter the top ten saints? It's not like I haven't seen some disciples who came first in the Mountain Selection Ceremony in the past. Many of them were only a purple after entering the inner mountain. Leading disciples is no different from us."

Zhou Tai frowned and said, "Master Shen would value him so much, so there is a reason."

"Then let's wait and see." Zhang Yan was noncommittal, looking at Zhou Yuan's figure in the stone platform with slightly narrowed eyes, and said unhurriedly: "I hope you can still maintain this idea after this battle."

"No matter how potential he has, let's wait until the day when he turns his potential into strength. Now... I think it's better to be more honest first. Young man, sometimes it's not a bad thing to suffer a little."

While they were talking, Shen Taiyuan glanced at the stone platform and said in a deep voice: "Let's get started."

boom!

The moment his voice fell, an astonishing source of energy suddenly burst out from Cao Shi's body, and the source of energy shot straight into the sky like a column of smoke.

Cao Shi's Origin Qi was like silver frost, exuding an extremely sharp aura. Wherever it rushed, even the void was left with traces.

An oppressive source of energy also emanated from his body, shrouding Zhou Yuan like Mount Tai pressing down on top.

Many disciples around him felt this pressure, and their expressions were slightly condensed. Cao Shi was able to sit in the top three seats of the Golden Belt before, but he was somewhat capable. With this strong Origin Qi, even in the fifth heaven of Taichu Realm, Not weak anymore.

Zhou Yuan's eyes also condensed slightly. The pressure of Origin Qi emanating from Cao Shi was much stronger than that of Lu Feng.

Cao Shi looked at Zhou Yuan's face, but smiled playfully, and said: "Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you proposed this competition a few days ago. Could it be that you have lost the courage you had back then?"

Zhou Yuan's expression was indifferent, and with a thought, the golden source of energy rose into the sky from his Heavenly Spirit Cap, like a huge canopy, and there was a faint shadow of a giant python emerging, making a roaring sound.

He stared at Cao Shi, and a sharp look gradually emerged in his eyes. At that moment, Zhou Yuan's aura was like an unsheathed sword, no longer concealing its edge and coldness.

"Come on, let me see, what's so great about the veteran golden belt disciples?!"

The moment the sound fell, his figure was the first to take the initiative to shoot away, and the source of energy roared out.

All eyes around the stone platform were staring closely at him.

They also wanted to know whether Zhou Yuan, who was number one in the Mountain Selection Ceremony, was qualified to receive such attention from Master Shen.
