Chapter 48

Listening to the numerous taunts, Su Han suddenly smiled.

"Do you think I'm afraid of losing face?"

Su Han's gaze swept around, calm and composed, as he spoke calmly.

"Or what?"

"If you weren't afraid of losing face, would you pass up such a good opportunity?"

"The sect is a sacred place, how can you look down on it like this?"

More voices echoed, as if they were certain Su Han wouldn't dare to participate.

"Alright then."

Su Han smiled calmly. "Participating isn't impossible, but just participating would be too boring. How about we make a bet?"

"A bet?"

Most people frowned, and Ping Yuzi and the others were taken aback.

"What kind of bet?" Bai Yu asked.

"Anyone who can prove to be stronger than me, I'll count as the loser."

Su Han said, "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?"

"Hahahaha, he wants to compete against thousands of us alone?"

"Truly arrogant, do you think we are all inferior to him?"

"Let alone us, just Young Master Leng can defeat him!"

Everyone looked at Su Han with ridicule. They had never seen such an arrogant person.

"Ten thousand gold coins each, that's millions of gold coins. Can you afford it?" Chen Feng stepped forward.

"That's my problem. Do you dare or not?" Su Han said calmly.

Chen Feng sneered, "What if you can't afford it?"

"If I can't afford it, my head is yours." Su Han said.

"Su Han!"

Xiao Yuhui was a bit anxious and whispered, "That's millions of gold coins! And this second test is about physical constitution, not potential. Your potential is indeed astonishing, but your physical constitution may not be as impressive!"

"It's fine." Su Han was confident.

In his previous life, he was the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, who wouldn't even look at ordinary dragon blood, let alone this mere beast blood.

"Alright!"

Chen Feng smiled. "I'll take this bet, don't forget what you said!"

"It's just ten thousand gold coins."

"I'm in!"

"Su Han, don't come crying to us later!"

Many people spoke up. This was an easy way to get ten thousand gold coins, so why wouldn't they participate?

If it was just a few people, with Su Han's confidence, he might really win. But against thousands of people, could he still win?

Of course, not everyone was willing to bet, as ten thousand gold coins was a significant amount, enough to support an ordinary family for a lifetime.

"Anyone who doesn't want to bet, step out now." Su Han said loudly.

Some people hesitated. They weren't from prominent families, and ten thousand gold coins was a lot.

"You all should take this bet. If you really lose, I'll cover the cost!" Seeing some were about to step out, Ping Yuzi spoke up.

Hearing this, those who were about to step out paused and returned.

"Great Elder, you are truly wealthy." Su Han looked at Ping Yuzi.

"Humph!"

Ping Yuzi coldly said, "Millions of gold coins, it hurts to part with, but I have one condition. If you lose, you must kneel at the foot of the Cold Cloud Sect mountain for three days and admit your mistake!"

"Great Elder..."

Xiao Yuhui was about to speak.

Ping Yuzi waved his hand. "Elder Xiao, don't interfere. This boy is so disrespectful to us. If we don't teach him a lesson, he might cause you trouble in the future!"

"Ha ha ha..."

Su Han suddenly laughed loudly. "You're Ping Yuzi, right? If you want to bet, that's fine. If I lose, I'll kneel at the foot of the Cold Cloud Sect mountain for three days and admit my mistake! But if you lose... twenty million gold coins, how about that?"

Ping Yuzi's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.

Twenty million gold coins...

That was almost all his wealth!

For Su Han, a few million gold coins was easy to come by, as he was both an alchemist and a weapon master!

But for Ping Yuzi, twenty million gold coins was his entire fortune.

"Aren't you rich? Why are you hesitating now?" Seeing Ping Yuzi's silence, Su Han said.

Ping Yuzi was seething with anger. In his rage, he immediately said, "Alright, I accept!"

"Let's start then!"

Su Han turned and walked directly toward the blood pool.

Looking at his back, Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Your brother-in-law is too arrogant."

Xiao Yuhui's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak.

"Humph, I want to see how he can compete against thousands of us!" Li Qing sneered from behind.

...

As Su Han moved forward, the thousands of people followed him to the blood pool.

"You all know that fusing with a first-stage beast blood will form one star at the forehead, fusing with a second-stage beast blood will form two stars, and so on."

Ping Yuzi said to the crowd, "After forming the stars, you can move to the next stage of the blood pool until you can no longer bear it, then you can step out."

"We understand!"

Many people spoke, their expressions excited, thinking they would get ten thousand gold coins just for participating in the selection.

"Whoosh!"

As everyone entered the blood pool, a shocking red light appeared beneath their feet. The red light grew more intense, eventually becoming extremely thick, like real blood, gradually submerging their lower bodies.

"You have one night. The second test ends at dawn tomorrow. Start fusing the blood now!" Ping Yuzi said loudly.

With these words, the thousands of people immediately closed their eyes, just like in the first test when they opened their dragon veins, focusing entirely on guiding the beast blood into their bodies.

"Su Han, opposing the world alone is not a wise choice." Chen Feng, standing not far from Su Han, sneered.

Su Han glanced at him and calmly said two words: "Sick."

"Humph, when you have to pay those millions of gold coins, I'll see if you can still be so calm."

Chen Feng laughed coldly and then began fusing the beast blood.

Time passed slowly. As everyone guided the beast blood into their bodies, their bodies burst with waves of blood-red light.

"What is he doing?"

Ping Yuzi looked at Su Han, frowning. "This bastard isn't even guiding the beast blood into his body!"

Bai Yu and Xiao Yuhui also looked over. They saw Su Han sitting cross-legged, the illusory beast blood covering his entire body, leaving only his head above the surface.

However, there was no trace of red light on his body, clearly indicating that he hadn't started fusing the beast blood.

"What is this guy up to?"

Even the calm Xiao Yuhui couldn't help but stomp her small foot.

That was millions of gold coins, more than the Xiao family could afford.
