When Gu Hongyi's clear voice sounded, various emotions appeared within the countless gazes that were currently focused on Zhou Yuan.

　　The amount of Alpha-Origin Qi Zhou Yuan brought back was something to be envious about.

　　However, the amount only showed that Zhou Yuan's Spirit cultivation was high. The most important thing to the Alpha-Origin stage was still the number of Genesis Qi stars.

　　From a certain point of view, it represented the amount of Genesis Qi one had.

　　Of course, this did not mean that the more Genesis Qi stars the more powerful someone would be. There were still various other factors to consider such as the grade of these Genesis Qi stars and etc.

　　Even so, at the end of the day, having more Genesis Qi stars would give one an advantage.

　　Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback by Gu Hongyi's directness. Soon after, he shook his head and said, "No comment."

　　The number of Genesis Qi stars was a rather personal thing, and would allow another party to estimate one's strength. Although Zhou Yuan did not really mind, he felt that there was really no benefit to revealing it here besides maybe causing some eyeb.a.l.l.s to pop out of their sockets. Therefore, he cleanly rejected.

　　Tch!

　　Zhou Yuan's words immediately caused a series of noises indicating displeasure.

　　"You!"

　　Gu Hongyi's eyes widened slightly, somewhat peeved as she glared at Zhou Yuan. Given her status, she was seldom rejected by those of the opposite s.e.x.

　　"Tch, it seems that he's too ashamed to tell us." Several of Gu Hongyi's admirers sneered.

　　"Yea, he likely doesn't dare to say it. After all, he had brought back so much Alpha-Origin Qi earlier and probably wasted it all. What a pity." Others began to chime in.

　　They clearly believed Zhou Yuan's reluctance to answer was due to a lack of confidence.

　　However, Zhou Yuan's expression remained calm in the face of their words. "If anyone wants to know how many Genesis Qi stars I have, won't you find out once you challenge me?"

　　The numerous disciples froze, before cursing out loud. Everyone present knew that you would have to pay 30 Genesis jade pieces per challenge. The price was far too high.

　　Hence, they could only inwardly shake their heads. After seeing Zhou Yuan's battle prowess earlier, they no longer dared to underestimate this first cla.s.s disciple who seemed the easiest to bully on the surface.

　　Most importantly, Zhou Yuan was now even stronger than before, because he had now also stepped into the first layer Alpha-Origin stage.

　　Zhou Yuan was a little disappointed that no one was interested. It seems that plan of winning Genesis jade crystals using this method was not going to work… after the first time, these people won't fall for the same trick twice.

　　As for the first cla.s.s disciples, they were unlikely to act before getting a proper grasp of his abilities.

　　Gu Hongyi gritted her pearly white teeth. In the end, she could only glare at Zhou Yuan. Although she was curious about how many Genesis Qi stars Zhou Yuan had, there was no grudge between them, and thus no reason for her to challenge him.
