Chapter 234 Strive to be the first, not for fame and fortune
"What? He is grounded?" Zhou Yuan was shocked.
No wonder he didn't find Yun Chen along the way. It turned out that Emperor Yun was afraid that he would embarrass the royal family and restricted his freedom.
Zhou Yuan sighed endlessly. If the current Emperor Yun knew that Yun Chen's strength had surpassed that of Yun Zheng, he would probably regret it to death.
But at this moment, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Yun Chen.
At the beginning, Yun Chen had planned to make a splash in the Sky Eagle Battle. He wanted to get the approval of Emperor Yun and let all the princes who looked down on him know that he, Yun Chen, was not a wimp.
But now it seems that this plan is going to come to nothing.
"But my father has said before that if you can get the first place in this test, Yun Chen will still be qualified to participate in the Sky Eagle Battle. Of course, although you can surpass me, it is not so easy to get the first place.
Simple."
Yun Zheng continued to add, still looking at Zhou Yuan with a condescending attitude.
Being mentally strong does not mean that you are strong in strength. Everything depends on the final showdown.
"First place?" Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed, "As long as I can get the first place in the test, Yun Chen will still have a chance?"
Zhou Yuan did not expect that he and Yun Chen would be tied together.
When Yun Chen followed Zhou Yuan's example and imitated him in destroying his martial arts seal, the news spread almost throughout the entire imperial capital, making Emperor Yun very dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan.
If it were an ordinary person, the martial arts seal would be gone if it were gone, but as Yun Chen is the prince, the impact is not bad.
"What, do you really think you can get first place?" Seeing Zhou Yuan's confident expression, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sneer.
At the forefront of Yunqiao were Qiao Long, the first disciple of Xingyue Tower, and Zhao Wuya, the first disciple of Seven Star Academy.
These two people have extraordinary qualifications. Even Yun Zheng is ashamed of himself. If he is willing to be behind them, how can Zhou Yuan be their opponent?
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's face, "Your Highness, if you can't do it yourself, that's your business. You'd better open your eyes and take a good look at how I surpassed these two people."
After saying that, Zhou Yuan turned around and left with quick strides.
"This..." Yun Zheng's face suddenly stiffened, and Zhou Yuan's walking posture was too abnormal, as if he was not affected by coercion at all.
At the same time, the scene of Zhou Yuan surpassing Yun Zheng was immediately broadcast.
When the people in the city saw such a monster like Zhou Yuan, they all started to cheer for him. Their cries were so shocking that even Zhou Yuan, who was far away on the Cloud Bridge, could vaguely hear him.
From being unknown at the beginning to becoming a blockbuster now, Zhou Yuan created a miracle in this test.
Not only the ordinary people in the imperial city saw Zhou Yuan's performance, but all the forces in the first viewing area on the platform on the other side of the Cloud Bridge were also staring at Zhou Yuan on the Cloud Bridge, one by one.
stunned.
Zhou Yuan was so monstrous that he almost surpassed 99% of his opponents.
You know, Zhou Yuan is a loser who doesn't even have a martial arts seal, which breaks their inherent concept that geniuses should have martial arts seals.
Although everyone knows that the martial arts seal does not represent the only one, they agree that having the martial arts seal is the icing on the cake, and they can see hope in the long journey of martial arts.
On the contrary, without the Martial Arts Seal, no one can see what your qualifications are, as if the road ahead is unclear and there is no hope.
"No, this Zhou Yuan is really amazing. If you pass the order, my Cai family will no longer oppose him from now on. I will find a way to resolve the conflict with him later."
"The Master of the Cai family is absolutely right. The Wu family does not want to enmity with this person. I also have to think of ways to resolve the conflict with him."
"And my Shen family..."
On the platform, several of the nine major families in the imperial capital had conflicts with Zhou Yuan. After all, Zhou Yuan once killed countless of their genius heirs in the life and death arena of Seven Star Academy.
Afterwards, all these forces, without exception, were thinking about how to take revenge on Zhou Yuan.
But now, they know that there is no hope of revenge. Zhou Yuan is too strong. If he grows up in the future, he can at least become a being like General Shen Fei. Thinking about this makes them feel numb.
So at this moment, they were thinking about how to resolve the storm and get it over with.
In addition to the nine great families, there are other large and small forces who are talking about Zhou Yuan.
Among the crowd, there was also an old man with disheveled hair, but his eyes were full of cold light, looking at Zhou Yuan, full of murderous intent.
"This child must not be kept. After the Sky Eagle War is over, I will make you completely disappear from this world." Dong Xinghai's face was ferocious, and his eyes were about to split.
Xingyue Tower was an industry he cultivated with his own hands. As a result, in just six months, more than half of his men died at the hands of Zhou Yuan.
No matter how evil Zhou Yuan was, Dong Xinghai also thought about how to get rid of him.
After all, the four great Dharma Kings, Xingzuo Shi and others were all his hard work.
"No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass the apprentice of this poster?" Dong Xinghai's expression softened slightly, and his eyes shifted from Zhou Yuan to Qiao Long, who was about to board the platform.
Qiao Long is his only and most proud disciple.
The reason why he came here this time was all to support Qiao Long.
Of course, in addition to everyone, the one who paid attention to Zhou Yuan was Emperor Yun who was hiding in the clouds.
Emperor Yun looked at Zhou Yuan, his eyes full of shock.
"Huh? Zhou Yuan? Why is it you? Isn't the Third Prince behind me?" Qiao Long, who was walking hard on the Cloud Bridge, suddenly felt something and turned his head, and immediately saw Zhou Yuan who was catching up.
"What? It's surprising, isn't it?" Zhou Yuan responded disdainfully: "What's even more surprising is that you are about to fall behind me."
With that said, Zhou Yuan quickened his steps again and passed by Qiao Long in the blink of an eye.
The end is coming soon, so Zhou Yuan naturally has to exert his strength.
When Qiao Long saw this, his face was filled with shock. He immediately took a step to catch up, but with a little effort, boundless pressure suddenly poured down and rushed into his mind.
"Ah..." Qiao Long couldn't help but let out a low roar.
It's already good to be able to persist to the later stage. If you want to speed up, you have to withstand more powerful pressure.
Under this wave of impact, Qiao Long felt his soul tremble and had a splitting headache.
His eyes were red, and he raised his head to look at Zhou Yuan who was walking away, with anger raging in his heart.
"Exceeded. Zhou Yuan has surpassed Qiao Long, the first disciple of Xingyue Tower, and is currently ranked second. However, his speed has not slowed down and he is still moving forward. He is about to catch up with Zhao Wuya, who is in first place."
Everyone who paid attention to this scene got excited and cheered loudly.
"You damn boy, you deserve to die." When Dong Xinghai on the platform saw this, the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger.
In the clouds and mist, Emperor Yun watched Zhou Yuan walking step by step, his expression gradually becoming complicated.
"Could it be that I was wrong? This boy doesn't have a martial arts seal, but he has a prodigy comparable to a first-grade martial arts seal?" Emperor Yun murmured.
If it was before, he would have been a little disdainful and even very dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan, but now, his idea began to waver. If Zhou Yuan really performed amazingly, there was no need for him to deliberately strangle him.
After all, Zhou Yuan is also a citizen of Tianyun Kingdom.
"Zhou Yuan, don't be too happy. After the Sky Eagle battle begins, I will definitely press you on the ring and rub you." Qiao Long yelled at Zhou Yuan from a distance.
At this moment, it was no longer possible for him to surpass Zhou Yuan, so he could only accept his fate.
"Senior Brother Zhao." Zhou Yuan ignored Qiao Long's roar behind him and quickly reached behind Zhao Wuya, who was ranked first.
At this moment, Zhao Wuya was also frowning and walking slowly.
When he heard someone calling him, he subconsciously turned around and saw Zhou Yuan, his eyes lit up.
"Junior brother Zhou, it turns out it's you." Although Zhao Wuya is the first disciple of Seven Star Academy, he has no airs about him and is very kind to Zhou Yuan. "I knew you wouldn't be so mediocre and worthy of being me, Zhao Wuya."
A rival in the world."
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, Zhao Wuya was not bragging, he indeed had the talent, and Zhou Yuan still admired him.
When he was promoted to direct disciple, Zhou Yuan was defeated by Zhao Wuya, but Zhou Yuan was convinced of his defeat.
After all, at that time, Zhao Wuya had already broken through to the spirit transformation realm, and he was only at the seventh level of foundation building.
But now, Zhou Yuan has also broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and has the strength to truly compete with Zhao Wuya.
"Senior Brother Zhao, I may be able to surpass you. Not for the sake of competition, but because Emperor Yun has disqualified His Royal Highness from participating in the Sky Eagle Battle. The only condition that can be achieved is that I can get the first place in this test.
"
Zhou Yuan said as he took a step forward and passed by Zhao Wuya.
"What?" Zhao Wuya was also shocked, just watching Zhou Yuan surpass him.
He was determined to pursue it, but after hearing Zhou Yuan's words, he thought for a moment and chose to give up.
In this test, any young warrior who can pass the Cloud Bridge can participate in the Sky Eagle Battle. Although Zhao Wuya ranks first, he is indeed not a competitive person as Zhou Yuan said.
He has been cultivating so far, and he has not competed with others. To be honest, he is boring and only wants to practice, and he is not even close to women.
"That being the case, what if you are number one?" Zhao Wuya raised his head and laughed.
It wasn't that he was tolerant. Although he could still speed up a bit, looking at Zhou Yuan's extremely relaxed look, Zhao Wuya already thought that he was no match for Zhou Yuan in terms of mental strength.
Zhou Yuan's ranking as first place is well deserved.
Whoosh!
After drinking tea, Zhou Yuan jumped up and was the first to jump onto the platform on the other side of the Cloud Bridge.
This platform is like a white cloud gathering above the palace. It looks like a fairyland, and it is already thousands of feet away from the ground.
Between the white cloud platforms, there are also nine huge arenas.
The arena is also condensed by clouds and mist, and the diameter of each arena is a hundred feet wide.
"Is there anyone there?" After Zhou Yuan stepped onto the platform, he discovered that the surrounding areas of the nine arenas were already filled with spectators.
These audiences all come from the most powerful forces in today's Yun Kingdom.
Princes, courtiers, families and sects are all among them.
"Master Zhou Yuan, you are the first to board the cloud platform. Please wait here first." At this time, a soldier with a strong aura came over and said politely to Zhou Yuan.
This soldier was wearing red armor, and he looked like a palace guard, and his cultivation level turned out to be at the spirit transformation level.
"Okay." Zhou Yuan cupped his fists slightly at him, then walked aside and looked at Yunqiao.
The young warriors on the Cloud Bridge are still moving forward hard.
In this way, time passed by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
This cloud bridge, which is only a hundred miles long, requires most young warriors to walk for eight days, and the eighth day is the last moment of the test. If it exceeds the eighth day, the test will end.
Zhou Yuan was sitting cross-legged at the end of the Cloud Bridge. Beside him were Zhao Wuya, Qiao Long and others.
They were not the only warriors boarding the platform at this moment, hundreds of them had passed the test.
boom!
At some point, the pressure that shrouded Yunqiao suddenly collapsed and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Those young warriors who were still struggling on the Cloud Bridge suddenly felt a sense of lightness in their bodies and minds. Their tense nerves also relaxed and they felt more comfortable than ever before.
"The pressure is finally gone and I can move freely."
"I want to rush to the Cloud Bridge, and I want to participate in the Sky Eagle Battle."
"The pressure is gone, it's a great time, go ahead..."
These young warriors suddenly became energetic and rushed towards the platform immediately.
However, the next moment, a figure suddenly fell in front of them, and its aura was like a big mountain, blocking everyone in front of them.
"This test has ended. You have been eliminated. There is no need to struggle anymore. Please go back."
General Shen Fei said expressionlessly to everyone.
