Chapter 290: 290
When Zhou Yuan’s words landed in the giant hall, it immediately drew a wave of stunned gazes . No one had even considered that he would plan on participating in the cave match .
One must know that although the purple sash disciples from both sides were no longer able to participate, the disciples sent would be the elites of the gold sash . Though Zhou Yuan was also a gold sash disciple, he was after all far too new, and there was still a tremendous gap between him and the older disciples .
Zhou Yuan had such a hard time against Lu Feng in the peak selection ceremony, an opponent who was only at the peak fourth layer Alpha-Origin, someone who was not even a true fifth layer .
On the other hand, most of the inner mountain gold sash disciples had already stepped into the fifth layer Alpha-Origin stage .
While those such as Tong Long and Cao Shi were powerful even amongst the fifth layer .
As such, many felt that Zhou Yuan basically did not qualifications to participate in battles at this level . Hence why Cao Shi could not help but mock the former after hearing his words .
However, Zhou Yuan ignored the mockery and the skeptical gazes, only looking straight at Shen Taiyuan with a calm expression .
Shen Taiyuan had likewise been stunned, Zhou Yuan’s actions clearly out of his expectations . Soon after, he began to frown . At the end of the day, what he valued in Zhou Yuan was the latter’s potential .
Zhou Yuan was currently only a second layer Alpha-Origin, and although he had managed to defeat the peak fourth layer Alpha-Origin Lu Feng in the peak selection ceremony, even Lu Feng would not dare to muddle in a fight like this .
If any other ordinary disciple had said such words, Shen Taiyuan would have berated him or her long ago . However, Zhou Yuan was after all somewhat different from the rest .
Hence, Shen Taiyuan did not rebuke Zhou Yuan’s behaviour, and merely said, “Zhou Yuan, you don’t have to force yourself . There is no need to compete with others for the time being . Given your talent, you will surely begin to truly stand out after a year or two . ”
Although he did have high hopes of Zhou Yuan, Shen Taiyuan believed that the former had only said those words in the heat of the moment .
“In addition… this matter affects the face of our faction, and we cannot afford to make any reckless decisions . ”
Cao Shi cooly looked at Zhou Yuan upon hearing this .
Zhou Yuan calmly replied, “Teacher Shen, as the saying goes, one should not get a reward one does not deserve . If I do not make any contributions, I will not be able to accept the purple Genesis cave dwelling even if we do end up winning it . ”
Cao Shi sneered and said, “At least you still have some self-awareness . ”
Zhou Yuan shot the former an indifferent glance, before continuing, “Teacher Shen must feel that I am not strong enough, but there’s a simple solution . Allow me to have a match with one of the three current representatives . If I somehow win, I will replace him, while if I lose, I will naturally no longer speak of this matter and not entertain any thoughts about the purple Genesis cave dwelling . ”
By this point, Zhou Yuan’s true goal was finally revealed .
How could he not know that numerous of the more senior disciples looked down on him because he was new . At the same time, they also felt that teacher Shen was being very unfair .
However, they did not have the courage to raise their objections so publicly like Cao Shi, but the truth was that they refused to acknowledge Zhou Yuan in their hearts .
If not, Cao Shi would not have managed to garner so much support .
In such a circumstance, for Zhou Yuan to smoothly keep the purple Genesis cave dwelling in his pocket, he would first need to win over the other disciples . But because he was only a new disciple without any experience, trying to convince them with the potential of the peak selection ceremony champion was clearly an impossible fantasy .
Therefore, he would use the most direct and effective method .
No argument could beat the hard truth of reality .
