Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: Seven Stars!
“This little brat…”
Ping Yuzi’s anger from before had completely disappeared in this instant.
It didn’t matter whether or not Su Han was truly able to infuse grade-seven beast blood. At least what Su Han was doing now was something that no one there was able to do.
Even Xiao Yuhui had only succeeded in infusing grade-six beast blood in the second stage. Furthermore, she did it in the last minute of the competition.
Xiao Yuhui had never even entered the grade-seven beast blood pool.
Of course, anyone could have gone in if they had wanted to. Just like Su Han had done, anyone could just jump directly into the seventh pool.
However, it would only be fine if that person were able to infuse grade-seven beast blood. If not, then that person would have to endure the mockery, laughter, insults, and contempt of countless people.
In other words, it was showing off!
Thump!
As everyone was still reeling, a red radiance suddenly erupted on Su Han’s body.
Evidently, it was the red radiance that appeared when the beast blood entered the body.
However, Su Han had been dealing with grade-seven beast blood, so the intensity of the red radiance was shocking. It was like the glow of a sunset, and not only did it shine brightly on everyone, it also made an impression on them internally!
“Impossible, impossible… this is absolutely impossible!!!”
Chen Feng gritted his teeth in the sixth pool, having lost all his appetite for infusing blood.
He had always believed that he was going to win this stage after his extremely incredible display of potential.
Who cared about Hu Zhengyao? Who cared about Yang Lin? Who cared about Leng Yihui?
So what if they were from county capital cities?
He had proven himself to be the peak of all geniuses on the Martial Dragon Continent by infusing grade-six beast blood.
Chen Feng had originally planned that his first act after getting first place in the competition would be to kill Su Han and annihilate the Su Clan.
However, never could he have guessed that Su Han would show such incredible strength and not only enter the seventh pool, but even swallow nearly half of the beast blood in an instant.
Su Han had swallowed a lot of beast blood. Let alone grade-seven beast blood, Chen Feng wouldn’t have been able to withstand that amount of grade-six beast blood.
…
“Here I thought that I was going to come first in this competition. Who could have known that there were so many geniuses hidden in the Far Mountain Province? This is truly a land of geniuses!”
In the fifth pool, Leng Yihui took in a deep breath as he looked at Su Han with admiration.
“Who could’ve known that another dark horse would appear besides Chen Feng? I had originally thought that my only competitors were Hu Zhengyao and Yang Lin. However, now it looks like I’m even worse than them.”
Shaking his head, Leng Yihui took a deep breath. Then, he continued on with condensing stars.
Leng Yihui had a different mindset from Chen Feng. In his opinion, the strong were worthy of admiration. However, someone like Chen Feng could never accept the fact that someone else was stronger than him.
…
In the same pool of grade-five beast blood, Hu Zhengyao and Yang Lin also lifted their heads to look at Su Han.
They had already considered Su Han as someone who was not worthy of being their opponent in the first stage. They even thought that Su Han was a dumbass. Why would anyone join the competition if they didn’t care about the stack of fake gold grade spirit items?
If he were truly impressive, then why hadn’t he asked the Frost Cloud Sect Leader to take him in as his own personal disciple?
If not for the Frost Cloud Sect’s rules that anyone was permitted to join the second and third stages despite the results, Ping Yuzi probably would have already kicked Su Han out of the competition.
After entering the second stage, everyone tried their best to infuse beast blood. Meanwhile, Su Han only sat there idly like a dead man.
Back then, they had thought that Su Han was just desperate for attention.
However, looking back now…
Bai Yu was right. Su Han acted that way because he had his reasons to.
If it were anyone else, swallowing half the pool of grade-seven beast blood would cause one’s body to rupture and explode.
However, Su Han was unscathed and made the pool of blood seem like mere water that would evaporate after entering his body.
Just with that, Su Han had demonstrated that his physique was extremely strong. It no longer mattered whether or not he succeeded in infusing grade-seven beast blood.
“Looks like there’s already two people that are stronger than us in the Far Mountain Province. Guess there’s always going to be someone better than you!”
The two exchanged a look and simultaneously revealed a bitter smile.
…
At this moment, the amount of red radiance showing up on Su Han’s whole body in the seventh pool had become astoundingly large.
From a distance, Su Han could no longer be seen and only the red radiance was left!
“You’d better not die in the pool.” Li Qing snorted softly but coldly.
“Li Qing, you’re going to have to fix your temperament,” said Xiao Yuhui.
“Just because of him? He’s not going to make me fix anything.”
Li Qing’s face was somewhat gloomy. However, he was starting to regret the words he had said earlier.
Thump!
Right then, a roar burst out from within the seventh pool.
Everyone lifted their heads to look, only to see a figure emerge from the red radiance that had slowly begun to dissipate. Eventually, the figure planted his feet on the ground.
Dressed in white robes that moved with the wind, the figure exuded a dreamy aura.
Even Xiao Yuhui somehow froze and blushed slightly the instant she saw the figure dressed in white robes.
At this moment, although Su Han didn’t have an actual increase of strength, he did give out a fresh and charismatic aura.
However, no one cared about Su Han’s aura, only the seven stars that were slowly circulating on Su Han’s forehead.
Whoosh…
When everyone saw the seven stars, they all gasped.
This included Xiao Yuhui, Bai Yu, Li Qing, Ping Yuzi, and everyone else.
Seven stars!
Grade-seven beast blood!
“He infused it, he really infused it…”
“Oh my, I’m not seeing things, am I?”
“That’s grade-seven beast blood! How long did this guy take? One minute, two, or was it three?”
After a brief silence, an earth-shattering commotion erupted from the plaza.
Whether they believed it or not, there were in fact seven stars circulating on Su Han’s forehead.
Since the beast blood was fake, the seven stars slowly became blurred after Su Han left the pool of blood. Eventually, the stars disappeared entirely.
However…
The scene from before could not be erased from everyone’s mind. They had all seen it with their own eyes!
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”
In the pool of grade-six beast blood, Chen Feng’s eyes were bloodshot. His originally handsome face started to look grim and twisted.
He couldn’t accept the fact that his guaranteed first place was forcefully stolen from him in just a few minutes.
Especially since that person was Su Han!
“With your temperament, I’m afraid you’re going to have to struggle for a while longer in the sixth pool.”
Su Han eyed Chen Feng and then immediately lifted his head up and scanned across the crowd.
Everyone who felt Su Han’s gaze felt like a sharp knife had cut through them. They all bent their backs and lowered their heads, afraid to make eye contact with Su Han.
Su Han didn’t pay them any attention. Instead, Su Han’s gaze landed on Li Qing, who was standing behind Xiao Yuhui and Bai Yu with an unsightly look on his face.
