Editor: Exodus Tales
Hearing the many jeers around him, Su Han suddenly laughed.
“Do you think I’m afraid of losing face?”
His gaze swept the surroundings, serene and unfazed, as he spoke indifferently.
“Otherwise,”
“If not because of fear of losing face, would you let go of such a good opportunity to participate?”
“The Sect is a sacred place, could it tolerate your belittlement?”
Again, a barrage of comments came, as if convinced Su Han dared not participate.
“Very well.”
Su Han smiled lightly, “Participating is not impossible, but to do so plainly would be too dull. How about we add a bit of a wager?”
“A wager?”
Most furrowed their brows in confusion, and even Ping Yuzi and others were caught off guard.
“What kind of wager?” Bai Yu asked.
“If there’s anyone who can prove stronger than me, then consider me defeated,” Su Han proposed.
“If I lose, I’ll give each of you ten thousand gold coins; if you lose, each of you gives me ten thousand gold coins. How about that?”
“Hahaha, he alone wants to compete against thousands of us?”
“Such arrogance, do we so many not compare to a single person?”
“Not to mention others, Young Master Leng alone could defeat him!”
Everyone looked at Su Han with mocking eyes, never before had they seen someone so full of themselves.
“Ten thousand gold coins per person, that would be tens of millions of gold coins. Can you even afford that?” Chen Feng stepped forward.
“That is my concern. The question is, do you dare?” Su Han said calmly.
Chen Feng sneered, “And if you can’t produce it?”
“If I can’t produce it, my head will be yours,” Su Han declared.
“Su Han!”
Xiao Yuhui was getting anxious, spoke in a low voice, “That’s tens of millions of gold coins! And this second trial tests physique, not potential. It’s true your potential is astonishing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your physique is remarkable too!”
“It doesn’t matter,” Su Han was confident.
In his past life, he was the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor; ordinary dragon blood was beneath his notice, let alone mere beast blood.
“Fine!”
Chen Feng smiled, “I’ll take you up on that bet, don’t forget what you’ve promised!”
“Is it just ten thousand gold coins?”
“Count me in, too!”
“Su Han, you better not cry poverty to us when the time comes!”
Many others joined in, sensing an easy chance to earn ten thousand gold coins, why would they refuse?
If it were just a few people, given Su Han’s confident air, he might indeed have a chance to win, but against thousands? Could he still win?
Of course, not everyone was willing to bet because ten thousand gold coins was no small sum, enough to support an ordinary family for a lifetime.
“If anyone doesn’t wish to bet, leave now,” Su Han called out loudly.
Among the crowd, some hesitated; not all were from great families, and ten thousand gold coins were indeed a hefty amount.
“You all may bet with him, and if you really lose, this old man will cover your losses!” Ping Yuzi spoke up, seeing that some actually wanted to back out.
Hearing this, those who had intended to leave stopped in their tracks and returned to their positions.
“The Grand Elder is truly generous,” Su Han remarked, looking towards Ping Yuzi.
“Hmph!”
Ping Yuzi snorted coldly, “Tens of millions of Gold Coins, it indeed causes me great pain to produce, but I only have one demand. If you lose, you must kneel facing Cold Cloud Sect at the foot of the mountain for three days to admit your mistake!”
“Grand Elder…” Xiao Yuhui was about to speak immediately.
However, Ping Yuzi waved his hand, “Elder Xiao, you need not concern yourself with this matter. This young man shows such contempt toward us, if we do not teach him a lesson now, who knows what trouble he might bring you in the future!”
“Hahahaha…”
Su Han suddenly burst into laughter, “Your name is Ping Yuzi, right? I’m not opposed to making a bet with you. If I lose, I will do as you said, kneel at the base of Cold Cloud Sect for three days to admit my wrong! But if you lose… twenty million Gold Coins, how about that?”
Ping Yuzi’s gaze turned icy, grinding his teeth.
Twenty million Gold Coins…
That was almost his entire fortune!
For Su Han, a mere tens of millions of Gold Coins could easily be taken out, since he was an Alchemist, and also an Artifact Refiner!
But for Ping Yuzi, twenty million Gold Coins represented his entire fortune.
“Aren’t you wealthy? Why are you afraid now?” Seeing Ping Yuzi’s silence, Su Han spoke again.
Ping Yuzi, with itching gums from rage, decisively said, “Fine, I agree!”
“Then let’s begin!”
Su Han turned around and headed directly toward the Blood Pool.
Watching his retreating figure, Bai Yu shook his head slightly and said, “Your brother-in-law is too arrogant.”
Xiao Yuhui’s gaze flickered, but she remained silent.
“Humph, I’d like to see how he alone can surpass thousands!” Li Qing sneered from behind.
…
As Su Han strode forward, those thousands of people also followed toward the Blood Pool.
“You all know, fusing with First Order Beast Blood, you can condense one star at the glabella, and with Second Order Beast Blood, you can condense two stars… and so on,”
Ping Yuzi told the crowd, “After condensing the stars, you can move on to the next Order’s Blood Pool, until you can no longer endure and have to exit.”
“We understand!”
Many people exclaimed, excited and secretly thinking they hadn’t expected to earn ten thousand Gold Coins just by participating in a selection.
“Whoosh!”
As everyone entered the Blood Pool, astonishing red light emerged from beneath their feet, growing more intense until it became thick and viscous, like actual blood, gradually submerging their lower bodies.
“You have one night, and by dawn tomorrow, the second stage will end. Begin fusing with the blood now!” Ping Yuzi announced loudly.
Upon his words, those thousands of people immediately closed their eyes, just as in the first stage of Dragon Vein Activation, focusing entirely on guiding the beast blood into their bodies.
“Su Han, opposing the world by yourself is hardly a wise choice,” Chen Feng, not far from Su Han, sneered.
Su Han glanced at him and uttered two words indifferently, “Sicko.”
“Hmph, wait until you have to produce those tens of millions of Gold Coins, I’ll see if you can still be as calm as you are now.”
Chen Feng let out a cold smile, then also began the Beast Blood Fusion.
Time trickled by, and as everyone guided the beast blood into their systems, streaks of blood-red light burst forth from their bodies.
“What is he doing now?”
Ping Yuzi frowned deeply, watching Su Han, “That bastard isn’t guiding any beast blood into his body!”
Bai Yu and Xiao Yuhui also looked over, only to see Su Han sitting cross-legged there, immersed in illusory beast blood up to his head, which was the only part of him visible.
However, there wasn’t a trace of red glow on him, clearly, indicating that he hadn’t started the Beast Blood Fusion at all.
“What is this guy trying to do?”
Xiao Yuhui, usually calm, couldn’t help but stamp her delicate foot.
Those were tens of millions of Gold Coins, even selling the Xiao Family wouldn’t raise that amount.
