章節 56: Chapter 56 - It will be Me vs You all, Battle Royale or a One sided Massacre (Part 1)
Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao followed Mu Wuji out of the building before the latter smiled at the two of them and said, "I'll have to go hand in my report. You guys will be staying here for the next three months."
"And Little Lad you sure are very Courageous, but I like that part of you so keep it up."
"Hehe, Teacher Uncle is just being kind," Zhou Yuan bowed a little to Mu Wuji.
By the side, Yaoyao also gave a slight nod. Although she had not conversed much with Mu Wuji, she could feel that the latter was quite open-minded, and did not treat the new disciples with an air of arrogance. Overall, he was a pretty decent person.
Mu Wuji waved his hand, smiling as he said, "I'm usually cultivating in the Cangxuan Peak. If you have any problems in the future, you may come and find me."
He shot a glance at the building, before he continued in a low voice, "Chen Yuan and I are pretty much at each other's necks all the time. He's not happy that we made him cough up two first-class disciple quotas."
"Although he won't dare to go overboard, the competition between the new disciples will indeed be very intense. Both of you should take note, those that were selected from the various continents will not be ordinary individuals."
Mu Wuji cautioned, "However, don't feel restricted because of this. There's no need to show any courtesy to those who come looking for trouble. As long as it's within the rules, even if the matter blows up to the sect master, he will give the owner of this token some face."
Hearing this a wicked smile crossed Zhou Yuan's face before he smiled widely," Teacher Uncle Mu need not worry, I definitely won't feel restricted because of this, if anything I will be sure to have some friendly exchange between our peers."
Mu Wuji on the side nodded awkwardly, even though Zhou Yuan was smiling he didn't get a good feeling especially when Zhou Yuan mentioned the Friendly exchange, but he decided to ignore it as it could have been his misconception.
Later, when Mu Wuji looked back at this incident he realized how Zhou Yuan had just openly stated his intention regarding the Legendary Battle Royale of the Outer Mountain.
Mu Wuji spoke a little more, before waving his hands at the two as he rose into the sky on green smoke, disappearing into the many mountains in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yuan turned his head to face Yao Yao, "Let's go, Yao Yao, We can roam around here for some time, before heading to the plaza."
Yao Yao nodded her head as she held his hand as the couple began their aimless walk where they just enjoyed each other's presence in silence.
.
.
.
Approximately 3 hours had passed since Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao left Chen Yuan's office.
The giant plaza was already flooded by a sea of people. A 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.
The numerous geniuses from the various continents in the Cangxuan Heaven were gathered here. 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...
One can say there were various cliques where everyone boot-licked a single person.
Powerful Genesis Qi spread from their bodies, far surpassing those beside them.
Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao were the last people to arrive as nearly every newly registered disciple had arrived earlier.
"Over here, 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 begun 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.
"Yuan bro, Cangxuan Sect is amazing indeed. There are over ten thousand new disciples here, each and everyone 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 and fifty first-class disciples in this batch."
Hearing this Zhou Yuan nodded secretly, the more First Class Disciples the bigger his bank so he had no problems even if there were more First Class Disciples than this.
According to his memory about 70-80 people from this group of hundred and fifty were from the Shengzhou Continent, and the majority of 2nd Class Disciples were also from the Shengzhou Continent.
Just imagining the amount of Genesis Crystal he would get from them made Zhou Yuan nearly drool.
But soon he controlled his expression, he had a plan to implement and he would ensure that he saw through this whole plan.
He would make sure that all things go according to his Keikaku.
All the people in the arena except for a few shivered.
They began to look around, looking for who could induce such a reaction of danger from them.
After looking for some time they decided to put this thing behind them and regarded this as a false alarm due to the new environment.
A Big Mistake!!
Everyone was immersed in their respective conversations until a gong suddenly sounded across the plaza.
They all looked up to watch as Chen Yuan slowly walked out onto a tall stage his nonchalant voice echoed across the entire place.
"Everyone quiet. I will be announcing the classes of the new disciples…"
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 geniuses from various continents, they clearly understood that except for 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 needs 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.
"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, which gave Zhou Yuan the impression that he was having constipation. Powerful Genesis Qi seemed to ripple from his body, making him feel intimidating to others even when he was not angry.
Lu Feng seemed to be pretty famous, his appearance causing several girls to shriek.
"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."
Shen Wanjin from the side informed.
"Shengzhou Continent, Gu Hongyi."
A 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 girl's skin was white, and her face was above the average, she had legs that were a little eye-catching, and somewhat of a good figure.
This was Zhou Yuan's evaluation of the girl, but it seems his standards were rather high because other people were going mad with desire once they saw her.
This was their description of her in their respective minds.
'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 for them 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 their desire even further.
But Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao's reactions were different, seeing the Whip on her waist a weird experience found its way to Zhou Yuan's face.
As for Yao Yao, she was just staring at Gu Hongyi with a strange look in her eyes.
'Is she into BDSM or what?' (Yes friends do not get surprised, this world is not a medieval world, so People do have knowledge related to such things)
This was their collective thought as a whip was a rather strange choice of weapon.
Suddenly Zhou Yuan looked at Yao Yao's eyes with a glint in his eyes.
As if reading his intention, Yao Yao blushed and turned his face away which was now burning hot.
Unfortunately, other people did not see her right now as they were busy whispering with each other and gawking at Gu Hongyi.
"This girl is called Gu Hongyi, and is said to be related to one of the high-ranking personnel in the Cangxuan Sect.", Shen Wanjin from the side told Zhou Yuan about whatever little info he had.
Zhou Yuan appreciated his diligence and commitment so he did not stop him even though he knew more about them.
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, more than a hundred people had ascended the stage.
One name after another continued to sound out, and the list soon approached its end.
After receiving their Respective tokens all walked back into the plaza.
"Cangmang Continent, Zhou Xiaoyao."
When this name was read, Yaoyao walked forward with Tuntun in her arms.
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 paled in comparison to Yao Yao.
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."
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.
However as the Whispers were about to overturn the Plaza, Chen Yuan announced the last name in the list.
"Next is the last first-class disciple… also from the Cangmang Continent, Zhou Yuan…"
Now the jaws of others were about to touch the floor when they noticed Zhou Yuan who was walking to the stage.
If Yao Yao was like a goddess or a fairy in a mortal world, then Zhou Yuan's Appearance and Temperament only led people to a single Conclusion.
'Our Male God'
Various Girls cheered in their minds.
'Our Nemesis'
Various boys thought while gritting their teeth.
Zhou Yuan had his hair in a single ponytail that reached just to his waist, and his face which could be described as other-worldly was further enhanced by his choice of clothing and dressing.
His black and blue Clothes along with his hair ornament with which he tied his hair seemed to fit him perfectly.
While people were still stuck in disbelief, Zhou Yuan had already passed through the crowd, his expression was calm as he walked onto the stage and received the status token under the crowd's stares.
He too also returned to Yao Yao's side after receiving his token.
Seeing Zhou Yuan and Yao Yao standing beside each other made them realize something.
"They look s-so good together.."
"I know right"
"It is like they are made for each other"
"Damn Ikemen, there goes my chance of getting any girls"
"How could Zhou Yuan-sama have a girlfriend, Is my First Love going to end so shortly."
"I wish I was that much Good Looking"
"Dude at least wish for something real, If you could be this good-looking I would like to call you my daddy." (Guess the reference)
"Shut up you bastard, can't you even let a poor guy dream."
Whispers and murmuring broke out in the plaza.
But the expressions of the First Class Disciples were not so good.
The reason was that they sensed undeniable Danger from Zhou Yuan, so much so that they nearly took a step back in an instinctive reaction, he seemed to have a powerful Genesis Qi signature along with a powerful spirit.
Lu Feng's face was not so good-looking anymore, "Why is he this powerful?"
This was the first time in his life when he felt such strong danger from one of his peers.
(This is the reason why Zhou Yuan insisted on hunting and battling in various situations so that he does not become a Nursery Plant with a huge self-ego but a very fragile mind that is overloaded every time they face a single hardship. And These Types of Nursery plants are the type who think that they are higher beings looking down the other creatures from the Heavens.)
It did not make sense, this guy was from the remote Cangman Continent so why was he more powerful than him who hails from the Shengzhou Continent?
Thankfully he did not know that Zhou Yuan only started his Cultivation 1-2 years ago otherwise he would have broken down on the spot, questioning his meaning of existence.
People like Gu Hongyi, Yang Xiu, and Zhu Feng who were considered the Geniuses in the Shengzhou Continent also were not feeling well, as their pride had taken a hit and unknowingly they had formed a negative image of Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan caused them to feel threatened and it hurt their pride so it was a common instinctive reaction on their part.
Well this was at least an Instictinctive reaction of a Weak-minded Person
Chen Yuan ignored the crowd's response as he continued to speak, "Starting now, you will be training here for the next three months, after which will be the peak selection ceremony. Only those who pass the ceremony and enter the seven peaks can be truly considered disciples of the Cangxuan Sect. Those that fail will become outer mountain disciples, and may also enter the seven peaks if the contribution conditions are met."
The hearts of the numerous new disciples shivered. Those who could enter the Cangxuan Sect were naturally prideful geniuses. Hence, failing to enter the seven peaks would be a tremendous blow to them.
"Your accommodation can be found on the disciple token."
"From tomorrow onwards, every disciple will begin training in Genesis Mountain. It is a specially constructed cultivation paradise of the Cangxuan Sect, so you better grasp this chance well."
Chen Yuan's words caused another surge of noise to wash over the plaza. Desire rose in the eyes of the Shengzhou Continent geniuses, clearly already aware of what it was.
The geniuses from the other continents were at a loss, and could only humbly seek help.
Thus, several of the Shengzhou geniuses looked towards the other continent geniuses as if they were looking at country bumpkins, and said with an air of superiority, "You guys don't even know of Genesis Mountain?"
"Genesis Mountain is a type of cultivation haven created by the Cangxuan Sect. It's shaped like a volcano with a Genesis Rune boundary carved on its insides to absorb Genesis Qi which is then purified by several Genesis Rune boundaries, causing the Genesis Qi that spouts out to be so much more pure."
"The most wonderful aspect of Genesis Mountain is the Heavenly Genesis Flower planted on every cultivation platform. One only needs to feed Genesis jade to this Heavenly Genesis Flower, and it will draw out the Genesis Qi in the mountain and send it spouting out."
"The Genesis Qi from the Heavenly Genesis Flower is not only purer than normal, but also contains some of its essence that can continuously temper the flowing Genesis Qi in the body. It can be said to be a cultivation treasure."
The numerous new disciples from the other continents were confused. Although they sounded very amazing, what exactly were these Genesis jade and Heavenly Genesis Flower?
"Genesis jade is an item manufactured by the Cangxuan Sect. You may treat it as a substitute for Genesis crystals, though it can only be used in the sect. One can exchange Genesis jade in the Hidden Scripture Pavillion and the Glittering Jewels Pavillion for all kinds of Genesis techniques, medicinal pills, Genesis Weapons…"
Chen Yuan opened his mouth to speak at this moment, "You new disciples will receive 30 Geneses jade pieces at the beginning of every month. The Genesis jade pieces for this month have already been placed in your quarters."
"As for Genesis Mountain, you will naturally understand when you train tomorrow."
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone should go find their living quarters."
However just as he was about to turn around his Expression changed as he looked at Zhou Yuan with shock in his eyes but was surprised to find out that the latter just looked at him and smiled.
Seeing his smile Chen Yuan shivered for a moment before he quickly straightened up,"Ahmm, everyone please wait a moment."
"I have an announcement to make."
While this was happening Zhou Yuan had guided everyone from Cangmang Continent towards the side area from where the view of the Plaza was very Clear.
He did not say much to everyone from Cangmang Continent but just told them to stay here and Enjoy the Show, which confused the Group of people, but they decided to obey his instruction.
"Tuntun and Yao Yao cheer for me ok?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile as he faced Yao Yao.
Tuntun raised his paw and barked in response and Yao Yao smiled.
"Hmm, but take care of yourself in return Ok?."
"Ha ha, of course, Yao Yao, worry not they can't harm even a grain of my hair. Just wait and watch your beloved", He gave her a charming smile before he hugged her and started slowly heading towards the stage in an almost leisurely manner.
Yao Yao was a little dazed seeing his charming smile but soon snapped out of it after Zhou Yuan hugged her.
"Gambatte..." She muttered in a low tone but Zhou Yuan still heard her due to his heightened hearing, as his ears twitched in Response.
"Ok Yosh, now I got to give my 120% in this, Yao Yao cheered me I can't let her down."
If the future selves of Disciples from the Shengzhou Continent heard this they would have bowed and begged him not to overdo himself, as even his 60 or 70% percent was enough for all of them.
No need to get extra beaten Right?
As all this was happening, Chen Yuan was announcing something that utterly confused everyone.
"Everyone other than the 1st and 2nd class disciples from Shengzhou Continent to clear the premises of the Plaza and head to the Stone path on its side."
"We will have an Exhibition Match"
Although they were confused they obeyed and soon the Plaza only had a small number of people left if compared to the number of people standing there earlier which was more than 10,000.
Only 769 people were left standing there.
They were much more confused than the others as they had not heard such things or announcements even from their Respective Relatives who are currently a part of the sect.
Just as they were about to question Chen Yuan they caught sight of Zhou Yuan who was slowly heading towards the Stage, they were confused as he was not from the Shengzhou Continent.
"Why is he towards the stage, he is not even from Shengzhou.."
"Is he Deaf or what?"
"Shut up don't insult Zhou Yuan-sama", A second class female disciple who was infatuated with Zhou Yuan retorted.
Finally, with many confused eyes on him, Zhou Yuan reached the Stage and stood beside Chen Yuan.
He turned around to face all the people and clapped his hands loudly, attracting their attention.
"Listen Up"
"There will be an exhibition match but it won't be between you guys, the reason why I am speaking to you guys is to clear the false illusion that others gave to you guys, you are no geniuses or sons of the heavens, You are just a bunch of self-proclaimed pompous brats who need to be humbled."
"There will be no multiple teams, it will be just me vs you all. Now I usually don't entertain insects or vermin's, but this is a special occasion."
"I would have fought you guys one by one, but a single insect can't trouble me so to give you all a fair fighting chance I want every single one of you to come at me."
"Some of you must think that you have misheard me, I don't mean some of you or few, but all of you come at me."
As Zhou Yuan finished speaking silence descended upon the whole place.
People from the Cangmang Continent had their mouths wide open, while Yao Yao was merely smiling as if enjoying the show.
Not to mention them, even Chen Yuan was shocked.
'I knew it this kid is a lunatic, who the fuck does these things on their first day.'
As if ignited, suddenly shouts and curses erupted from the people of the Shengzhou Continent.
"You bastard, who do you think you are?"
"Just because you are a little stronger than us, do you think you can take all of us down?"
"Yes you ****, how dare you talk to us in that way you piece of **** ?"
Curses and shouts of outrage were flying.
The people who can be considered leading figures from the Shengzhou Continent didn't engage in this but from the looks on their faces it was easy to tell that they were immensely angered.
No one had spoken to them like this before, as they were the ones who talked to people like that.
Even though they knew that Zhou Yuan was stronger than them, they did not think he could fight all of them.
Or so they thought.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was just memorizing the faces of everyone who was cursing him and dared to shout at him like that.
Even though he knew that it was his speech that ignited them like that, he was petty when it came to things like this.
So everyone who cursed him was surely getting a heavy haymaker across their faces.
He turned his face to Chen Yuan, "Teacher please make a barrier surrounding this plaza so that other people are not affected by the aftermaths of our fight."
Hearing him Chen Yuan nodded but still asked with a conflicted look on his face.
"Are you sure?", even though he was a little greedy he was still a teacher, and also Zhou Yuan's actions made him admire him.
As if sensing his worries, Zhou Yuan smiled gently, "Teacher Chen need not worry much, just think of it as me taming some wild animals, and let me tell you I am very good at taming them."
He reassured him.
Chen Yuan sighed before nodding.
Zhou Yuan just leaped from the stage and landed on one end of the Plaza.
(Imagine Madara Uchiha jumping from that Stone pillar)
The floor under his feet cracked a little even when Zhou Yuan was controlling his strength.
The chatter and the shouts disappeared when they saw Zhou Yuan land on the Plaza, which meant that he was serious and speaking the truth.
On the side where the Disciples from the Cangman Continent were gathered.
"This..."
"Zhou Yuan sure is very courageous"
"Yeah, challenging them all to a battle royale like that."
"Damn if I had a speck of his courage.."
"He sure has balls of steel.."
"Yea-Wait What?"
"Big sis Yao Yao will Yuan bro be okay.?" Shen Wanjin asked with some worry which reflected in his tone.
Yao Yao on the side shook her head with a smile on her face.
"You guys are worrying about the wrong side.."
Hearing her talk Other people also quietened down. It was rather rare for Yao Yao to speak on her initiative.
"... You guys should worry whether these people will be alright, and also Zhou Yuan gave them a false impression, this is not a Battle Royale, but a one-sided Massacre with all these people being on its receiving end."
Hearing her words shocked them.
On the other side, Zhou Yuan just started stretching his body, by doing various stretches which would seem very familiar to fellow Otakus.
"I am ready when you guys are."
Chen Yuan also formed a barrier with his own Genesis Qi, which was reassuring as he was a Divine Dwelling Practioneer which ensured that any stray attacks attacks did not reach the bystanders and everyone remained within the Plaza.
'Now that I think about it, isn't this a lot like a combination of Battle Royale + Cage Match from WWE.' Zhou Yuan shook his head in amusement as he stretched his hands and cracked his neck.
Lu Feng who was at the front of the group ordered his two-second fiddles to go attack Zhou, this was mainly a test where he could gauge Zhou Yuan's strength.
"Ahh"
As the two people rushed to Zhou Yuan, he just stared at them
Both of them charged their Genesis Qi and strengthened their bodies as they both respectively launched a punch and kick at Zhou Yuan once they came close to him.
Zhou Yuan still did not move but just as their attacks were about to hit him he leaned back and landed a vicious haymaker across the face of the puncher which made him cough up blood and threw him toward the other end of the plaza, taking advantage of his position and momentum Zhou Yuan landed a spinning kick at the kicker which landed squarely on his face.
The kicker suffered the same fate and was also sent flying.
BANG
Both of them collided with the barrier and lost consciousness.
Zhou Yuan's actions were very fast, only some people were able to even see him move.
Chen Yuan who was overseeing everything also muttered, "What a little Monster, even with so much Raw strength and speed he still has monstrous skill and precision..."
Yao Yao also saw Zhou Yuan's movements clearly.
The people from Shengzhou Continent were also a little frightened as most of them only saw a blur when Zhou Yuan moved, and he was not using a speck of Genesis Qi as their were no Fluctuation detected.
On the other side, Zhou Yuan smiled widely as his blood boiled and pumped, he was feeling very excited.
Every person has their Rational and Wild side, and living in a Modern society led to the suppression of his Wild or Animalistic side/Instincts.
But ever since coming to this world, Zhou Yuan's animal side was slowly indulged, and right now was such a moment when Zhou Yuan wanted to burst out with all his strength and beat up other people and simply enjoy battling.
"Hey you all, It is 2 down and you all to go."
.
.
.
A.N
Before you guys accuse me of theft, it was not.
All the punch lines written are purely generated by my mind and not stolen from somewhere.
This is also one of the reasons why it took me this much time.
Also, I wrote these lines with the impression that they are cool and catchy and it further highlights Zhou Yuan's personality and character.
Peace Out.
