Chapter 47: Chapter 47 The Second Level
Editor: Exodus Tales

“Haha, is there really such an idiotic person?”

“Wasn’t it said that this Su Han has extremely high potential and that his strength is also quite good? Capable of battling in the Dragon Blood Realm, how could he do such a brainless thing?”

“It’s as if he were the only one who knows this Gold Rank Spirit Artifact is fake, while we are all cultivating, activating our Dragon Veins. He actually looks down upon this test; could it be that he wants to use this to catch the attention of the Cold Cloud Sect?”

“He doesn’t take the test and then comes to participate in the selection? Is this a joke?”

Suddenly, many sneers erupted from the crowd. Originally, some people were optimistic about Su Han, but now he had seriously displeased Ping Yuzi. Wanting to enter the Cold Cloud Sect would likely be extremely difficult for him.

Amidst these sneers, Su Han acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, instead focusing his gaze on Ping Yuzi.

“I chose not to take the test—that is my problem. How can you know that I look down on this test?” Su Han asked.

“How audacious!”

The man behind Bai Yu suddenly shouted furiously and stepped forward, saying, “How dare you speak to the Grand Elder like this? Do you know your own status?”

“Shut your dog mouth.” Su Han’s voice turned somewhat icy.

This Ping Yuzi had been targeting him from the beginning. He had only retorted with a question, yet instantly, a lackey had leaped out to bark furiously. With his temperament, how could he continue to endure this?

“What did you say?”

The young man was instantly furious.

This person was also an Elder of the Cold Cloud Sect named Li Qing, though he was an Outer Sect Elder and thus much lower in status than Bai Yu and Xiao Yuhui.

However, his talent was not bad, having activated seven Dragon Veins and working extremely hard. Under the Cold Cloud Sect’s cultivation, he had reached the Mid-Stage of the Dragon Blood Realm and had mastered several Dragon Techniques. Among those of his level, he could defeat almost anyone.

If Bai Yu or Xiao Yuhui had said so, it would have been fine. But Su Han, a mere youth from Yuanshan County who hadn’t even joined the Cold Cloud Sect, dared to speak to him in this manner?

“I said for you to shut your dog mouth.” Su Han raised his eyes and stared directly, a glint of cold light flashing past.

“You’re truly seeking death!”

Li Qing grew even more enraged and was about to make a move.

But Xiao Yuhui reached out to stop him, saying, “He’s my brother-in-law, Elder Li. It’s best if you suppress your anger for now.”

“Brother-in-law?”

Li Qing’s eyebrows knitted together as he gave Su Han a glare, then took a deep breath and said, “Fine, since he’s Elder Xiao’s brother-in-law, I will consider this matter as never having occurred. But with him being so rampant, I hope Elder Xiao can discipline him properly.”

“Hmm.”

Xiao Yuhui simply nodded.

Discipline?

Could she actually discipline him?

Even the Liang Family’s Young Master was someone Su Han had killed on a word—he wouldn’t listen to her, would he?

“So it turns out that Elder Xiao has your back, and that’s why you were acting so arrogantly just now,” Ping Yuzi glared at Su Han and said, “Indeed, Elder Xiao has outstanding talent and will surely become a power to be reckoned with in the future. Relying on her, you really do have the credentials to be arrogant, but I’ll tell you, in the Dragon Martial Continent, power is respected. You can only rely on yourself; others won’t be able to help you all the time.”

“I have no need for others to help.” Su Han said indifferently.

“Hmph, fine!”

Ping Yuzi gave a cold laugh and stopped paying attention to Su Han.

Since Su Han was Xiao Yuhui’s brother-in-law, he naturally had to show some degree of courtesy. Though he was the chief Grand Elder of the Inner Sect and his status was higher than Xiao Yuhui’s, her talent was too strong, having activated ten Dragon Veins, and she would soon surpass him in cultivation. He did not wish to offend her.

“Yuhui, he is so arrogant, and yet, you won’t deal with him?” Bai Yu asked in a low voice.

“Deal with him? How?” Xiao Yuhui replied.

Bai Yu was taken aback, “Isn’t he your brother-in-law? It seems like he doesn’t even take you seriously at all.”

“It’s not that it seems like he doesn’t take me seriously, but that he truly doesn’t take me seriously,” Xiao Yuhui replied with a shake of her head and a wry smile.

Others didn’t know Su Han’s true strength, but she was very clear about it. In terms of talent, Su Han was leagues beyond her, so why should he take her seriously?

“How many dragon veins has he activated?” Bai Yu didn’t quite understand Xiao Yuhui’s point.

“You’ll know by the third trial,” Xiao Yuhui pursed her lips.

…

The first trial had come to an end. Leng Yihui activated two dragon veins, scoring twenty points and ranking first.

But the most favored to win the championship, Hu Zhengyao of the Liang Family, and Yang Lin, had only activated one dragon vein each.

Of course, there were also many people who had activated one dragon vein, but it was impossible to judge so-called potential solely on this alone.

Next was the second trial, Beast Blood Fusion!

As everyone knows, on the Dragon Martial Continent, the breakthrough from the Dragon Vein Realm to the Dragon Blood Realm requires the aid of beast blood.

The powerful beings of ten million years ago used dragon blood to break through to the Dragon Blood Realm, which is why this realm is called the ‘Dragon Blood Realm’.

But now it’s different; let alone dragon blood, even Flood Dragon Blood is extremely hard to come by.

The second trial ‘Beast Blood Fusion’ is to test the willpower and endurance of these individuals.

Not everyone’s physique can successfully integrate blood, and some people can’t even withstand a drop of dragon blood.

“Follow me!” Ping Yuzi ordered.

A large group followed, and during the journey, they were all eager to try.

They wanted to know the extent of their own physique after all they were certain to step into the Dragon Blood Realm someday. Now was the perfect opportunity to see what rank of beast blood they could withstand.

Many people were unaware of their own endurance and would consume beast blood of too high a rank, which led to them being unable to bear it, causing their bodies to burst and die.

“Here we are.”

Half an hour later, the group arrived at a huge plaza with seven deep pits at its center, each pit having a diameter of hundreds of meters—large enough to easily accommodate everyone.

“I will emphasize again.”

Ping Yuzi’s eyes were fixed on Su Han as he snorted coldly, “Once you enter this Blood Pool, beast blood will appear inside, ranging from First Level to Seventh Level.”

“Of course…”

“These beast blood, like the Gold Rank Spirit Artifacts, are all fake! If anyone looks down on this beast blood and doesn’t want to test, then there’s no need to go in!”

These words were clearly directed at Su Han, and when his voice fell, many scornful eyes immediately fell upon Su Han.

“Su Han.”

Xiao Yuhui approached and pondered, “The first trial could be overlooked, but for this second trial, it’s best that you participate. No matter what, we can’t let down the face of the Cold Cloud Sect.”

Su Han didn’t speak.

“I think he’s afraid that his physique isn’t up to it, and he’d lose face if he went in—that’s why he dares not to test, right?”

“Ha ha, just a coward.”

“It seems that rumors can’t be believed after all. I originally thought this guy was strong to some degree, but it turns out he’s only tough in character.”

“Ha ha ha…”

Many voices spoke, their words filled with disdain and contempt.
