Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Shocked on the Spot!
Editor: Exodus Tales
As Chen Feng spoke, everyone turned their eyes towards Su Han.
“Now Su Han is in trouble.”
“Serves him right, let him be arrogant again!”
“Indeed, he never used to regard the Elders highly, not even showing a respectful expression when facing the Deputy Sect Master. Even when the Sect Master personally offered to take him as a disciple, he refused, acting as if he weren’t in the Dragon Vein Realm but in the Dragon Emperor Realm instead. He truly was overly arrogant.”
“This Chen Feng, he really hid his capabilities deep.”
“Hehe, do you guys think Su Han will really hand his head over to Chen Feng?”
“I doubt it, he was probably just talking big.”
Amid waves of conversation filled with the taste of schadenfreude, although Su Han had no deep hatred with them, his arrogant demeanor was extremely detestable to them.
“Brother-in-law, it seems you bragged a bit too much!”
Bai Yu glanced at Xiao Yuhui and said, “However, for your sake, I can speak a word for him so that he doesn’t have to lose his life.”
Bai Yu felt that, with the power of the Bai Family, Chen Feng should give him some face. After all, not everyone was as brainless as Su Han.
“No need.”
Xiao Yuhui simply shook her head: “He won’t lose.”
“Even now, you still think he won’t lose?”
Bai Yu frowned, “You really have a lot of confidence in him, but you must understand, Chen Feng has offered eleven Dragon Veins, breaking the Dragon Martial Continent’s record for their number. Such a person is one in ten thousand. What makes you think Su Han can beat him?”
“Just watch,” Xiao Yuhui said.
“Fine, then I’ll watch.”
Bai Yu scoffed, feeling that Xiao Yuhui had some unusual emotions towards Su Han, and now, that feeling deepened even more.
Meanwhile, as everyone was talking, Su Han’s figure had already reached the stone pillar.
Su Han slightly lifted his gaze, looked at the stone pillar for a while, and finally shook his head.
“Hehe, getting scared, huh?”
“Had he known earlier, why bother at the beginning.”
“Just the number of those eleven Dragon Veins is enough to crush him; I guess he doesn’t even feel like testing anymore.”
Su Han’s shaking his head evidently led them to misunderstand, assuming he didn’t dare to test and was now considering how to beg for mercy from Chen Feng.
Chen Feng certainly thought this way too, and the cold smile tugging at his lips deepened.
It was at this moment that Su Han slowly raised his right hand.
As he lifted it, a sudden flash of golden light enveloped his body. Then, he clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it onto the stone pillar.
“Boom!”
A huge muffled sound came from the stone pillar, and as Su Han struck it, a large amount of dust from the stone pillar spread all around, enveloping both Su Han and the pillar, making it unclear to the others.
“Crack!”
At one moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from within the dust.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone gazed intently at the dust.
Under their watchful eyes, the dust gradually dispersed. When they could see inside, everyone’s pupils instantly dilated, shocked into stillness.
“Thunderous boom!”
It was at this moment a tremendous noise echoed across the platform, only to see the stone pillar had begun to fracture from the middle. This tremendous sound was the top part of the pillar snapping in two and crashing to the ground!
In that instant, dust filled the air, but the entire platform fell into eerie silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
“Gulp.”
At some point, someone swallowed a gulp of saliva, finally breaking the silence.
“Su Han actually… split that stone pillar into two?”
“Impossible, this can’t be the work of Su Han!”
“There was a glowing protection around that stone pillar, with Su Han’s strength alone, it’s impossible to split it into two!”
Everyone was staring at that stone pillar, itching to run up and see exactly how it had broken.
Meanwhile, not far away, the cold smile on Chen Feng’s face had instantly frozen.
He too didn’t believe that this was caused by Su Han. Instead, he forcefully convinced himself that the pillar had broken due to being out in the wind and sun for a long time and had cracked on its own.
But why didn’t it fracture at any other time, not even when he himself struck it, and yet it just happened to break when Su Han struck it?
Up on the high platform, Ling Qinghai, several Elders, and the others were utterly speechless at that moment.
Others might not know, but they did — that stone pillar had been replaced just before the assessment!
It was a rule of the Cold Cloud Sect to replace the stone pillar with a new one before each assessment.
Clearly, the breakage of the pillar was indeed caused by Su Han’s strike!
“This…”
Bai Yu, standing next to Xiao Yuhui, was also gaping, disbelieving what he was seeing.
“How about it?”
Xiao Yuhui’s cherry lips lifted, revealing a stunning smile, “I told you, he would definitely win. Do you believe it now?”
Bai Yu remained silent, not speaking for a long while.
“How many Dragon Veins?”
Finally, someone brought up the key point of this assessment.
Whether or not Su Han caused the strike was irrelevant; what mattered was how many Dragon Veins he had opened up.
However, no one answered because at the moment of Su Han’s outburst, he only had a flash of golden light across his body, unlike Chen Feng, who was enveloped in golden light.
Moreover, since the stone pillar had already split, the Illusion screen above it had also dissipated, leaving no one knowing how many Dragon Veins Su Han had actually opened.
Even the Cold Cloud Sect Master, Ling Qinghai, had no idea!
“Announce the result.”
Su Han stepped back several paces and spoke calmly.
Yun Yingnan’s face showed a troubled expression.
Announce the result? How to announce?
You just shattered the stone pillar and even dispelled the Illusion screen, announce what result!
After Su Han, there were still a few people who hadn’t been tested, but that no longer mattered; at this moment, all eyes were on the clash between Su Han and Chen Feng, who lost and who won!
“There’s another pillar nearby, why don’t we let Su Han test again?” Yun Yingnan looked towards Ling Qinghai.
“No need.”
Ling Qinghai shook his head, his mind consumed with shock.
“If Su Han could shatter this stone pillar with a single punch, clearly he opened more Dragon Veins than Chen Feng. Besides, there are a few more people who haven’t been tested; what if he shatters another pillar as well?”
Yun Yingnan: “…”
Indeed, others still needed to be tested. If Su Han truly shattered another pillar, it would potentially block others’ paths of advancement.
“On what basis?”
Chen Feng spoke discontentedly: “We couldn’t even see how many Dragon Veins he had opened. Maybe he shattered this pillar using a Dragon Technique!”
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense.
However, Ling Qinghai said, “If he had used a Dragon Technique, the stone pillar would have easily evaluated it, and absorbed his Dragon Power. Naturally, this scene wouldn’t have occurred.”
