Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Shocking the Crowd!

Everyone looked towards Su Han after Chen Feng spoke.

“Looks like it’s an unlucky day for Su Han.”

“He deserves it. Who asked him to be so cocky?”

“That’s true. It’s bad enough that he didn’t respect the elders from before, but he didn’t even try to be respectful when he was talking to the vice sect leader. He even rejected the sect leader when the sect leader asked him to be his personal disciple, like he’s not a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator but a Dragon Grand Realm cultivator. Indeed, he was too cocky.”

“This Chen Feng fellow sure hid it well!”

“Heh heh. Say, do you all think that Su Han is really going to give Chen Feng his head?”

“I think he probably just said it for the sake of it.”

Waves of gossip were spoken with satisfaction of Su Han’s misfortunes. Although Su Han hadn’t offended them personally, his cocky and presumptuous attitude has made all of them feel extremely disgusted.

“Looks like your brother-in-law got called on his bluff!”

Bai Yu looked at Xiao Yuhui and said, “However, I can still put in a word for your sake so that at least he wouldn’t lose his life.”

Bai Yu thought that Chen Feng would probably let Su Han off the hook for his sake, given the background of his Bai Clan. After all, not everyone was as brainless as Su Han.

“No need.”

Xiao Yuhui only shook her head lightly. “He won’t lose.”

“You still think he won’t lose? After all that?”

Bai Yu frowned. “You sure are confident in him. However, you need to understand that Chen Feng broke the limit of dragon veins on the Martial Dragon Continent when he opened eleven dragon veins. Such a character is one in a million. What’s Su Han going to win with?”

“Just take a good look,” Xiao Yuhui said.

“Alright, then I’ll take a good look.”

Bai Yu snorted coldly. He had always thought that Xiao Yuhui had some other feelings for Su Han. Now, at this moment, his suspicions were intensified.

As everyone gossiped, Su Han had already arrived before the stone pillar.

Su Han lifted his head slightly and looked at the stone pillar. Finally, he shook his head.

“Heh heh, he’s probably scared.”

“If only you weren’t so cocky from the start.”

“The eleven dragon veins probably already killed any hopes he had of winning.”

Su Han shaking his head had evidently made everyone misunderstand that he was too afraid to take the test. They were all probably imagining in their heads how Su Han would beg Chen Feng for mercy.

Evidently, Chen Feng was also thinking the same thing as his lips curled into a cold grin.

At this moment, Su Han slowly lifted up his right hand.

The moment Su Han did that, his whole body suddenly flashed with golden light. Then, he clenched his fist and violently struck the stone pillar.

Thump!!!

A huge and dull sound rumbled out from the stone pillar. Moreover, large amounts of dust started to spread out from the stone pillar the instant Su Han struck it. Immediately, Su Han and the pillar became surrounded by the dust, obscuring everyone’s vision.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from within the dust cloud.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone locked their gazes onto the dust.

As the dust slowly faded away and they saw what was inside, their pupils immediately dilated. All of them stood in place, utterly shocked.

Thump!

At this moment, a huge noise spread out through the whole platform, and they could see that the stone pillar was broken at its center. This noise had been the noise made from the stone pillar breaking into two pieces and crashing into the ground!

In that instant, the dust permeated the air, but the whole platform was so quiet that a dropped pin would be audible!

Gulp…

Eventually, someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and finally broke the silence.

“Su Han… broke the stone pillar into two?”

“That’s impossible. That couldn’t have been done by Su Han!”

“The stone pillar was protected by the radiance. With Su Han’s strength, there’s no way he could have broken the stone pillar into two!”

Everyone locked their eyes on the stone pillar, wishing to get closer to see how exactly it broke.

Not far away, the smug smile on Chen Feng’s face had been immediately frozen at that moment.

No one could have believed that Su Had had caused that damage. Everyone forced themselves to believe that the reason for the pillar breaking was that the pillar had been subject to wind and rain for such a long time that it had broken on its own.

However, why had it not broken at any other time, but only when Su Han had struck it?

On the podium, Ling Qinghai and the other elders were utterly speechless.

Although the others didn’t know, they were well aware themselves that the stone pillar had just been recently replaced before the test!

The Frost Cloud Sect rules made sure that the pillars would be replaced before every test.

Evidently, the pillar had only fractured because of the damage caused by Su Han!

“This…”

Bai Yu also watched with his jaw dropped as he stood beside Xiao Yuhui. He could not bring himself to believe what he had just witnessed.

“How’s that?”

Xiao Yuhui’s pretty lips curled up and revealed a stunning smile. “I said he was definitely going to win. Do you believe me now?”

Bai Yu remained silent for a long time before he could say another word.

“How many veins?”

Finally, someone brought up the highlight of the test.

It didn’t matter whether or not Su Han had struck and broken the stone pillar. What mattered was how many dragon veins he had opened.

And yet, no one answered, because the moment Su Han erupted his strength, he had flashed with golden radiance. Unlike Chen Feng, in Su Han’s case, the golden light had shrouded everything.

Moreover, since the stone pillar had broken, the illusory screen on top of it had also disappeared, so nobody really knew how many dragon veins Su Han had opened.

Even the Frost Cloud Sect leader did not know the answer!

Su Han backed off several steps and said calmly, “Let’s announce the results.”

Yun Yingnan’s face only revealed an embarrassed look.

Announce the results? How are we going to do that?

You’ve broken the damn stone pillar and killed the illusory screen. Announce the results, my ass!

There were still a few people after Su Han that had not been tested. However, that no longer mattered. Right now, the only concern was whether Su Han or Chen Feng had won.

“There’s another stone pillar over there. Why don’t we make him go through the test again?” Yun Yingnan looked at Ling Qinghai.

“No need.”

Ling Qinghai shook his head, as he tried to calm his immeasurable shock.

“Su Han was able to break the stone pillar after he struck it. Evidently, he has opened far more dragon veins than Chen Feng. Moreover, there’s a few people that have not been tested. What if he breaks that one too?”

Yun Yingnan fell silent.

Indeed, there were more people waiting to take the test. If Su Han broke the other pillar as well, then he would ruin their chance of joining the Frost Cloud Sect.

“It doesn’t count.”

Cheng Feng was displeased. “We didn’t even see how many dragon veins he opened. Who knows; maybe he used a dragon technique to break the stone pillar.”

Everyone found Chen Feng’s words to be quite reasonable.

Ling Qinghai said, “If he did use a dragon technique, then the stone pillar would have easily shown that. It would absorb the dragon strength and thus would not display what we are all seeing right now.”
