Zhou Yuan raised his head to the sky, light shining down on his youthful face as he smiled a smile of dazzling confidence.
So what if it was the Cangxuan Sect...
So what if the competition will be intense...
Even the despair from back then had not crushed him, what was now in comparison?
“Let’s go.”
Said Zhou Yuan to Yaoyao, before he took the lead and walked towards the giant bustling plaza.
...
The giant plaza was already flooded by a sea of people. A quick glance would reveal that they were all pretty young, each individual in high spirits and overflowing with youthful vitality. The atmosphere was boiling with excitement.
Gathered here were the numerous geniuses from the various continents in Cangxuan Heaven. Even so, they were still clearly gathered into distinct circles.
The most attention grabbing was the area at the very front of the plaza where groups of all sizes could be seen. The main similarity was that at the center of each circle was a proud looking young man or lady...
Powerful Genesis Qi spread from their bodies, far surpassing those beside them.
“Over here, little Yuan bro!”
When Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao returned to the plaza, a familiar voice was heard nearby. Shen Wanjin’s eye-grabbing round body was beckoning at them.
Zhou Yuan walked over.
Behind Shen Wanjin were several figures. They were the Cangxuan Continent geniuses, including Xiao Tianxuan.
However, at this current time, these illustrious geniuses in the Cangmang Continent had began to appear a little unnatural. They could sense that the superiority they were originally proud of was now completely gone.
Practically all of them had turned from a genius to an ordinary person.
It was because of this sudden unease and loss that they involuntarily converged towards Zhou Yuan when they saw him.
Xiao Tianxuan had a complicated expression as he followed at the very end of the group, not daring to meet Zhou Yuan’s gaze.
“Little Yuan bro, Cangxuan Sect is amazing indeed. There are over ten thousand new disciples here, each and every one a genius from the various continents…” Shen Wanjin looked at the surroundings in amazement.
“I just found out that there will be about a hundred first class disciples in this batch.”
Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback. A hundred first class disciples? Didn’t that mean that all of these individuals possessed the strength similar to the third layer Alpha-Origin?
“What an eye opener.” Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly. As expected, he would only be able to see such a grand line-up here.
However, Zhou Yuan was also pretty astonished that Shen Wanjin could gather such information in such a short span of time. The latter’s smiling and friendly appearance was indeed a great tool for approaching and getting friendly with others.
“Within these hundred or so, they must be little Yuan bro and big sis Yaoyao!” Shen Wanjin grinned widely as he said, “I hope that big brother and big sister will take extra care of your little bro in future.”
Zhou Yuan could not help but chuckle when he heard this. However, just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly interjected. “Hehe, how can a quasi Alpha-Origin become a first class disciple. You guys are treating this matter too lightly.”
The sudden interjection stunned the group. Their gazes turned, and found a figure looking at them nearby.
It was a slightly handsome young man. He had a smile on his face, while a group crowded around him like stars to the moon.
Genesis Qi rippled from the young man’s body, revealing that he had reached the second later Alpha-Origin stage.
When the young man saw Zhou Yuan and gang look over, a carefree smile immediately appeared on his face. But anyone could see that his eyes were fixed on Yaoyao from start to end.
“I am Luo Song from the Tianqing Continent…” The young man cupped his hands together with a smile. “We can be said to all be fellow disciples in future, so we should keep an eye out for each other.”
He seemed to offhandedly mention, “I should be rated at a second class disciple this time, and if I work hard in the future, I should have a chance at becoming a first class disciple.”
Several individuals at the young man’s side began to flatter, “Hehe, getting acquainted with brother Luo is your fortune.”
They could naturally tell that Luo Song was after Yaoyao. After all, she was far too beautiful, and many had been trying to find out more about her ever since she had appeared.
However, in response to Luo Song’s slightly thirsty gaze, Yaoyao did not even give him a single glance from start to end. She merely continued to play with Tuntun.
Zhou Yuan secretly chuckled inside. Luo Song may seem like a kind person on the surface, but the arrogance in his tone could not be concealed. Hence, Zhou Yuan smiled as he shook his head and said, “We’re from the Cangmang Continent. As for looking out for each other, there’s really no need.”
Luo Song was clearly stunned that Zhou Yuan had actually rejected him. The former had obviously never expected that this group would reject him, causing his expression to turn a little rigid.
His followers frowned and said, “What an unappreciative brat.”
“To be recognized by brother Luo is your blessing, don’t be so muddle-headed.”
There were also several pretty good looking young ladies amongst them who disdainfully glanced at Zhou Yuan. They clearly felt that his actions were not tactful at all. After all, a quasi Alpha-Origin was really too unremarkable, and had no right to put on airs.
Luo Song let out a dry laugh. He had to show gracefulness in front of a beauty after all. Hence, he waved his hand and gave Zhou Yuan a deep look as he said, “My friend, this is not the continent you guys lived in previously, so it would be better for you to behave properly such as to avoid suffering…”
“Hehe, if you guys change your mind in the future, you can always come and find me.”
Zhou Yuan helplessly sighed. He looked at Yaoyao and said in a low voice, “We just got here and you’re already attracting bees and butterflies. Maybe you should continue to dress-up as a guy?”
Yaoyao rolled her eyes at him. “No more dressing up. If I attract the attention of someone like Qinyu again it will become an even bigger headache.”
Fury flashed in Luo Song’s eyes when he saw Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao intimately conversing in hushed voices, completely ignoring his existence. Just as he was about to speak again, a gong suddenly sounded across the plaza.
They watched as Chen Yuan slowly walked out on a tall stage as his nonchalant voice echoed across the entire place.
“Everyone quiet. I will be announcing the classes of the new disciples…”
Chapter 214 First Class
When Chen Yuan’s voice spread across the plaza, the originally noisy plaza instantly became quiet, every gaze nervously looking towards the stone stage.
Although the youngsters present were the geniuses from the various continents, they clearly understood that with the exception of a few special monsters, everyone else would become ordinary.
When compared to their status and rank in the past, it would be a drop of a thousand feet.
In the Cangxuan Sect, they would experience competition that they had never experienced before. To raise one’s status, one needed to work hard to raise one’s strength.
It was obvious that those who became first class disciples in the first disciple evaluation would undoubtedly gain several advantages.
Under the attention of countless gazes, Chen Yuan waved the booklet in his hand and said, “There will be a total of 148 first class disciples for this evaluation, 1056 second class disciples and 9500 third class disciples.”
These words immediately caused the plaza to stir restlessly.
Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised. There were over ten thousand geniuses from the various continents, and yet only slightly over a hundred were able to beco
me first class disciples. From this, one could see just how valued a first class disciple quota was.
The people at Luo Song’s side continued to sing his praises, “Can’t believe there will only be a thousand second class disciples. Brother Luo is indeed the best amongst the Tianqing Continent geniuses.”
A meaningful smile was revealed on Luo Song’s face as he waved his hand and said, “It’s only a second class disciple, I still need to strive harder to become a first class disciple. When that time comes, I will have the chance to see how amazing the legendary grade 5 Genesis Food is.”
While he spoke however, his gaze constantly swept towards Yaoyao, the pleased look in his eyes completely unconcealable.
The gazes of the group around him were filled with envy, some of the better looking young ladies even constantly casting flirtatious glances at him.
This caused Luo Song to grow even more pleased with himself. His gaze shifted towards Yaoyao again, only to realise that the latter had not even taken notice of him, an observation that made him somewhat disappointed.
“This girl is quite arrogant, but she does have the beauty and presence to match it. I may not know what kind of relationship that kid has with her, but it should be no issue. A mere quasi Alpha-Origin is no competition at all. After some time in the Cangxuan Sect, he will naturally realise that he is not a fit for her at all.” Muttered Luo Song in his heart.
It was clear that he did not take the quasi Alpha-Origin Zhou Yuan very seriously.
“Next, I shall be announcing the list of first class disciples.”
On the tall stage, Chen Yuan indifferently said, “Those whose names have been called, come forward to receive your disciple tokens.”
“Shengzhou Continent, Lu Feng.”
The first name immediately caused a disturbance on the plaza. Zhou Yuan and the rest watched as a youth in white flew onto the stage. It was as if his face had been sculptured, giving off a bold and striking sensation. Powerful Genesis Qi seemed to ripple from his body, making him feel intimidating even when he was not angry.
Lu Feng seemed to be pretty famous, his appearance causing several girls to shriek.
Zhou Yuan also looked towards the youth in white called Lu Feng, as his eyes widened slightly. He could indeed feel a faint feeling of danger from the latter’s body. This individual was definitely not simple.
Beside Zhou Yuan’s group, Luo Song sighed loudly as he said, “Lu Feng is said to be from the Lu clan of the Shengzhou Continent. He has a powerful background and is extremely talented. He will surely be one of the core members of the Cangxuan Sect in the future.”
He looked at Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao as he nonchalantly said, “I even talked with him two days ago, so we at least recognize each other by face.”
Someone at his side quickly started the bootlicking again. “I heard that Lu Feng is extremely proud, and ordinary people won’t even enter this eyes. The fact that Brother Luo was able to speak with him is truly amazing.”
Zhou Yuan could not help but exchange a look with Yaoyao. Were these people idiots? Was talking to someone really something you should be proud of?
Though Luo Song’s narcissism was rather loathsome, the information he revealed was committed to memory by Zhou Yuan.
“Shengzhou Continent, Gu Hongyi.”
A stunning fiery-red figure nimbly leaped onto the stage. When the crowd looked over, the gazes of numerous males were immediately lit with burning desire, because the one that had appeared on the stage was a young lady in red.
The young lady’s skin was akin to snow, while her face seemed as if it was painted. Her long, slender legs were relatively attention grabbing, and it was hard to turn away from the sight of her sexy figure.
A heroic aura seemed to sprout from the young lady in red, while the long red whip that hung on her slender waist only accentuated it even further.
“This girl is called Gu Hongyi, and is said to be related to one of the high ranking personnel in the Cangxuan Sect. She is very strong and pretty, and no one knows how many have tried to gain her favor. Though she is beautiful, she is extremely fond of battle, so it will be rather troublesome if you offend her.”
Names continued to be read during the next ten minutes as extraordinary young men and women ascended the stage to receive the highest rank status token under the envious eyes of the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred people had ascended the stage.
A look of thought could be seen on Zhou Yuan’s face as he watched from below. He had realised that half of the hundred first class disciples were from the Shengzhou Continent.
“The Shengzhou Continent truly is blessed by the heavens.” Zhou Yuan secretly sighed in his heart. The geniuses from the other continents were already a step behind in comparison. Catching up would not be easy.
One name after another continued to sound out, and the list soon approached its end.
“Cangmang Continent, Zhou Xiaoyao.”
When this name was read, Yaoyao walked forward with Tuntun in her arms.
“Eh, what are you doing?” Luo Song hastily called out when he saw this.
Yaoyao naturally paid no attention to him, heading straight to the tall stage and directly climbed up under Luo Song’s stupefied gaze.
The instant she stepped onto the stage, the entire plaza fell silent, every gaze colored with unconcealable amazement.
Gu Hongyi was already a rare beauty in the making, but she lacked in presence when compared to Yaoyao.
Restlessness soon spread in the crowd.
“Wow, who is that? She’s so beautiful!”
“She seems to be from the Cangmang Continent? I’ve never heard of the place…”
“But has managed to become a first class disciple? Why can’t I feel any Genesis Qi undulations from her?”
“Her Spirit cultivation should be extremely high, I can feel that her Spirit is exceedingly powerful…”
“......”
Countless whispers rose one after another.
At the front of the plaza, Lu Feng, who originally had his eyes closed, also opened them at this moment. He looked at Yaoyao with interest as he muttered, “What a strong Spirit.”
“She… she’s a first class disciple?” Luo Song’s face was a mix of white and green, while his entourage had obediently shut their mouths this time, their faces burning when they recalled their earlier actions.
On the stage, Yaoyao rather disliked being under the attention of those countless searing gazes. She quickly took her status token, walked off and returned to Zhou Yuan’s side.
Several gazes looked towards Zhou Yuan at this moment, but when they saw that the latter was merely at the quasi Alpha-Origin, they nonchalantly shifted their gazes away.
Luo Song no longer dared to speak to Yaoyao. He glanced at Zhou Yuan as he secretly mumbled to himself, “Kid, that girl is too superb. I may not have the qualifications, but you are even worse…”
On the stage, Chen Yuan glanced at the booklet, mockery lifting from the corners of his mouth as he said, “Next is the last first class disciple… also from the Cangmang Continent, Zhou Yuan…”
Zhou Yuan understood the former’s intentions from his gaze. However, Zhou Yuan’s expression did not change as he began to walk forward.
The corners of Luo Song’s eyes twitched frantically, while the followers around him looked to each other.
“He... what is he going to do?”
“He can’t be Zhou Yuan, right?”
While they were still stuck in their disbelief, Zhou Yuan had already passed through the crowd, expression calm as he walked onto the stage and received the status token under the crowd’s stares.
When he stood on the stage, the entire plaza fell silent for an instant. A split second later, bewildered voices exploded, filling the sky.
“Quasi Alpha-Origin?”
“Such strength has the qualifications to become a first class disciple?!”
“How can this be? A quas
i Alpha-Origin first class disciple? What kind of joke is this!”
A sky of doubtful voices surged like a flood.
Chapter 215 Accommodation
“How does a quasi Alpha-Origin like him have the qualifications to become a first class disciple?”
“If even he can become a first class disciple, why can’t we?”
“......”
Questioning voices swept across the sky and land. Practically everyone present was filled with indignation when they saw this.
Those evaluated as second class disciples in particular were extremely unhappy. Even they had not been evaluated as first class, so why did a quasi Alpha-Origin kid get it?
The third class disciples were even more envious and jealous, their eyes practically tinged red.
Only the high and mighty first class disciples merely watched with the cold eyes of a bystander. However, their gazes were not too friendly when they looked towards Zhou Yuan, as if a dirty dog had somehow entered the ranks of tigers and leopards.
The young man in white called Lu Feng merely watched with an uncaring gaze. He only glanced at Zhou Yuan once, before withdrawing his eyes, clearly paying no heed to this matter.
On the stage, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained calm in the face of the numerous questioning voices.
Chen Yuan wore a smile on his face. Only after the voices faded somewhat did he extend a hand to indicate for everyone to be quiet as he said, “This new disciple’s situation is a little different. There’s an esteemed master who has vouched for him.”
These words first silenced the plaza, before they burst out into an even greater uproar.
“Tch, so he got in through the back door…”
Numerous new disciples shook their heads inside, disdain flowing out on their faces. Although they too wished deep down that they could be in the same situation, when it happened to someone else, they could not help but begin mocking.
Dressed in red, the slender, sexy Gu Hongyi had initially been interested to know how a quasi Alpha-Origin could become a first class disciple.
After hearing Chun Yuan’s words however, her red lips curled downwards slightly.
