When news of Zhou Yuan's eight dragon baptisms returned to Saint Origin Peak, it unsurprisingly caused a sensation. The disciples of the Three Meridians were all stunned by it and felt unbelievable at the same time.
After all, this matter is really unbelievable. The strength of the thousand-foot water beast is comparable to the ninth level of Taichu Realm, and with Zhou Yuan's strength, it is obviously impossible to hunt it down no matter what.
However, no matter what their suspicions and speculations were, Zhou Yuan's baptism of the Eight Dragons was a fact after all, so no matter how envious and jealous many disciples were, they were only jealous.
When this matter reached Shen Taiyuan's ears, this stern and old-fashioned elder couldn't help being surprised. During the morning class that day, he praised Zhou Yuan heavily and looked at Zhou Yuan's face. His eyes were full of eager anticipation.
Obviously, Shen Taiyuan has experienced too many surprises since Zhou Yuan entered the door.
In fact, when he first paid attention to Zhou Yuan, Shen Taiyuan himself was a little doubtful, because he also knew very well that not all the top candidates in the mountain selection ceremony were the geniuses like Chu Qing.
But he didn't have much choice. The other six peaks of Cangxuan Sect were so strong that they directly took away the most talented disciples. Their Saint Origin Peak could only decline more and more, and it was difficult to improve.
Now Lu Hong has been sent to parachute to Saint Origin Peak. If Lu Hong's lineage can win the chief position of Saint Origin Peak, then his old face will be completely disgraced. In the future, he will be unable to hold his head high in Cangxuan Sect.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan's arrival was regarded by Shen Taiyuan as the last straw.
However, what surprised Shen Taiyuan was that since Zhou Yuan entered his school, things exceeded his expectations time and time again, which also made his confidence in Zhou Yuan begin to increase little by little.
Perhaps, it was the ancestor's blessing that allowed them to finally welcome a disciple with amazing talents before the fall of Saint Origin Peak.
…
"I heard that Zhou Yuan achieved the baptism of eight dragons in the baptism of source marrow?"
Today, it was Lu Hong's turn in the Temple of Seeking Dao. Lu Hong was sitting high up, his eyes scanning down lightly. Apparently, the news that had spread throughout Saint Origin Peak had also reached his ears.
Below him, the leader of the many disciples was the calm-faced Yuan Hong. He nodded and said in a calm voice: "It is indeed the baptism of eight dragons. I saw it with my own eyes that day."
When the other disciples in the hall heard this, they also burst into whispers, their eyes full of envy.
"She's quite capable." Lu Hong snorted, and a look of coldness flashed across his old face. That day, he took the initiative to recruit Zhou Yuan, but was rejected by the latter. Naturally, he didn't want to see Zhou Yuan going so smoothly now.
Yuan Hong said slowly: "But before, I heard secret rumors from the senior brothers at Jian Lai Peak that Senior Sister Li Qingchan might have helped Zhou Yuan's Baptism of the Eight Dragons, because Zhou Xiaoyao once helped Senior Sister Li Qingchan fight against him. Senior Brother Kong Sheng."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder, causing screams to suddenly come out from the hall.
"Senior Sister Li Qingchan helped Zhou Yuande baptize the eight dragons?!" Many male disciples looked in disbelief. Who didn't know that Senior Sister Li Qingchan was an iceberg goddess and always kept a distance from the opposite sex? How many outstanding disciples admired her? But she didn't even dare to speak.
So when they heard that Li Qingchan might have assisted Zhou Yuan in baptizing eight dragons, they found it difficult to accept it.
How virtuous and capable is that boy to be favored by Senior Sister Li Qingchan?
Yuan Hong looked at Lu Hong, his face slightly solemn and said: "That Zhou Yuan is not something to be afraid of, but that Zhou Xiaoyao..."
If this Zhou Xiaoyao is really qualified to intervene in the battle at the level of Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan, it means that her own strength must be extremely terrifying. If she also participates in the battle for the chief of Saint Origin Peak, then even Yuan Hong is not very sure.
Lu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This Zhou Xiaoyao is indeed not simple...but there is no need to worry too much, because strictly speaking, she is not a disciple of Shen Taiyuan."
The White Eyebrow Peak Master of Lingwen Peak valued Yaoyao very much, so the three elders of Saint Origin Peak couldn't accept her as their disciple, making Yaoyao quite unique in Saint Origin Peak.
But precisely because of this, Yaoyao, who does not have this important status, cannot participate in the battle for the chief position.
Moreover, judging from the latter's daily behavior, it seems that she is not at all interested in this kind of fight...
Hearing this, Yuan Hong nodded slightly and his expression returned to calm.
Lu Hong said quietly: "There are still a few days until we have to go to the cave test..."
His eyes swept across the hall, and finally stopped at the three positions at the front of the golden futon. To be precise, it was Wei Youxuan who was sitting in the first seat of the golden belt disciples.
At this time, the latter was dressed in black and had a slender body, but there was a faint sharp light in his eyes.
Sensing Lu Hong's gaze, Wei Youxuan smiled slightly, with a hint of arrogance in his smile. He said softly: "Master Lu, please don't worry, it's just a baptism. Although the eight dragon baptism is quite effective, it can't turn a sheep into a sheep." Became a wolf."
"I will kill anyone from their lineage who dares to reach out to that Ziyuan Cave Mansion."
Although he was understated, he showed his fierceness and was obviously full of absolute confidence in himself.
"Haha, Senior Brother Wei also needs to save some face for others. Don't win too easily. After all, we meet each other from time to time on the same peak." A disciple on the side said with a flattering smile, and in his words, he was also full of confidence in Wei Youxuan.
When the others heard this, they all laughed out loud.
Unexpectedly, I didn't have the slightest worry about the hole test a few days later, and looked like I was sure of winning.
Lu Hong also nodded slightly, his stern face softened slightly, and he sneered secretly in his heart. Shen Taiyuan had been a little too happy these past two days, and he was really short-sighted. A boy who had just entered the door was lucky enough to be baptized by an eight dragon. Do you really think you can change anything?
Anyway, let you be proud first, and when the hole test comes, I will let you know that compared with my lineage of geniuses, your lineage is still as good as Nalu. As loose as a tree, he shrank aside quietly and didn't try to block his way.
…
But when the entire Saint Origin Peak was in an uproar because of the baptism of Zhou Yuan's eight dragons, as the protagonist, he did not get carried away and show off everywhere. Instead, as soon as he returned to Saint Origin Peak, he stayed in the cave, Quietly cultivate, digesting the benefits brought by this eight dragon baptism.
He also knew very well that a baptism of eight dragons did not mean anything. It was indeed just his luck. If it were not for Tun Tun and Li Qingchan, he would not have been able to achieve the baptism of eight dragons.
However, he will not belittle himself because of this, because at any time, even if he is taking advantage of the situation, it is also a kind of strength.
Giving up one's own advantages and insisting on trying to get the best of others is not courageous, but stupid.
Therefore, when the eight dragon baptism came to an end, Zhou Yuan gathered his thoughts and digested what he had learned. He knew that what he needed to deal with next was the upcoming cave test.
This cave test was his real first battle after arriving at Saint Origin Peak.
He wanted to obtain the Ziyuan Cave and become a purple belt disciple as quickly as possible so that he could qualify for the chief battle at the end of that year, so he had to perform well in this cave test.
Deep in the cave, Zhou Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the spring, opened his eyes. The light in his pupils gradually converged, and all the surging Origin Qi in his body was collected in the Qi Palace.
After several days of practice, Zhou Yuan had completely controlled the surge of Origin Qi in his body.
He lowered his head, slowly clasped his palms together, and smiled lightly.
After coming to Saint Origin Peak for so long, he finally had a tough battle. He hoped that the disciples under Lu Hong's sect would not disappoint him.
