“`

“Hmm?”

Su Han furrowed his brow and turned his head, only to see Chen Feng sitting cross-legged there, holding a spiritual object in his hand, his face wearing a cold smile.

“Do you mean to say that you have activated more than eight dragon veins?” Su Han asked indifferently.

Chen Feng displayed contempt and did not respond to Su Han, but instead swallowed the spiritual object in one gulp.

Su Han could naturally guess the meaning behind Chen Feng’s words.

On Dragon Martial Continent, ten dragon veins were the limit, and having activated eight himself, Chen Feng’s claim of having great potential implied that his own potential was small, didn’t it?

Why small? Naturally, because Chen Feng had already activated more than eight dragon veins!

“You have only one day!”

Seeing that some people seemed still confused, Ping Yuzi couldn’t help but speak out loudly.

Instantly, everyone sat down cross-legged, swallowed the spiritual objects, closed their eyes tightly, and began to cultivate with all their might.

The spiritual objects were fake, and so the dragon veins they activated were also fake; once they left this square, the dragon veins they had activated would naturally disappear.

However, while thousands had already taken their seats, there still stood one person, holding that illusory Gold Rank spiritual object, silent and expressionless.

“You’re not cultivating?” Ping Yuzi’s brow furrowed.

Su Han shook his head slightly, “This spiritual object is of no use to me.”

“The old man doesn’t know what’s of use to you?”

Ping Yuzi spoke discontentedly, “It’s useless to everyone, but this is the rule of the Cold Cloud Sect. This assessment evaluates your potential, even if you cannot activate a single dragon vein, at least the Cold Cloud Sect can make an assessment of you. But in your case, if you don’t even swallow it, how can we assess you?”

“Then you can just assess me as if I cannot activate a single dragon vein,” Su Han said as he threw the spiritual object aside.

He was also speaking the truth. Given the number of dragon veins he had at the present, even if the spiritual object was truly a High-Grade Gold Level Spiritual Item, it was unlikely he could activate any dragon veins.

The only things that were of use to him now were spirit stones and pills.

“Are you mocking me?”

Ping Yuzi said angerly, “If you didn’t want to swallow it, why enter here in the first place?”

“I’m simply following the rules of the Cold Cloud Sect,” Su Han replied indifferently.

“You!”

Although Ping Yuzi was angry, he had nothing to say.

The rules of the Cold Cloud Sect stipulated that even if the first round yielded no accomplishment, they could not deprive someone of the right to participate in the second and third rounds.

Otherwise, in his anger, Ping Yuzi might have directly stripped Su Han of his qualification to join the Cold Cloud Sect.

Su Han no longer paid attention to Ping Yuzi and sat down cross-legged before tossing a pill into his mouth.

This pill was an Ancient Spirit Pill.

Although almost useless to the current Su Han, with time on his side, he didn’t want to waste it.

With the number of dragon veins he now had, the speed at which he absorbed the Ancient Spirit Pills was extremely fast. The pill would melt the moment it entered his body, and then would be rapidly absorbed.

After absorption, Su Han would swallow another pill.

And so on and so forth, Su Han continued to swallow the pills one after another.

Ping Yuzi stood there, his gaze constantly on Su Han, only to see Su Han occasionally throwing something into his mouth, which made him wonder.

“What are you eating?” Ping Yuzi finally couldn’t help asking.

Su Han paused in his action, looked up and said with a smile, “Pills.”

“Pills?”

Ping Yuzi scoffed, “That’s utter nonsense. Do you have that many pills? Besides, even if they were pills, you couldn’t possibly refine them that quickly, could you?”

“`

Su Han shook his head, not answering him, focusing on consuming the pill instead.

Ping Yuzi almost couldn’t hold back a mouthful of old blood in his anger.

After all, he was the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect of the Cold Cloud Sect, a position far more prestigious than those like Xiao Yuhui and others, not to mention these little fellows who haven’t even entered the Cold Cloud Sect. Even those disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect, who wouldn’t offer up a respectful greeting upon seeing him?

Yet, Su Han had completely ignored him.

“What is your name?” said Ping Yuzi, trying to suppress the fury in his heart.

“Su Han,” Su Han looked up briefly.

He believed he was already being quite polite. After all, did he need to care about others’ opinions of him with his status from the previous life?

If anyone disagreed, they would simply be killed.

“I’ve heard of you.”

Ping Yuzi said, “You were quite famous in Yuanshan County, though you later succumbed to demonic intrusion. However, I think since you’ve managed to restart your cultivation, there’s a chance for you to reach the peak. But if you continue to waste your potential like this now, it doesn’t line up with a cultivator’s mindset. If you go on like this, you won’t pass the second test either.”

“Have I been wasting myself?” Su Han was taken aback.

“If this isn’t wasting yourself, then what is?”

Ping Yuzi said earnestly, “You have the opportunity to let those within the sect see your potential, yet you refuse to take any action. Do you think by acting so arrogant, you can join the Cold Cloud Sect? That someone would take you as a disciple?”

“I will definitely join the Cold Cloud Sect, but forget about becoming someone’s disciple—they still can’t teach me anything,” Su Han shook his head.

Hearing this, Ping Yuzi’s suppressed anger flared up once again.

“You are simply being unreasonable!”

Ping Yuzi snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Su Han.

Su Han also ignored him, continuously taking his pills while feeling the meridians that had already opened within his body.

After the last absorption of twenty low-grade spirit stones, Su Han had opened up a total of fifty-six meridians; only fifty-two meridians remained before all his body’s meridians could be thoroughly unblocked!

Ten Dragon Veins are the limit on the Dragon Martial Continent. One hundred and eight meridians are Su Han’s limit.

That’s because there are only one hundred and eight meridians within the human body.

If he could unblock all one hundred and eight meridians, Su Han’s physique would undergo a qualitative transformation.

Others needed meditation to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, but once Su Han unblocked one hundred and eight meridians, that spiritual energy would flow to him automatically.

Eating, sleeping, walking…

It could be said that at that time, Su Han would be cultivating at all times, and his speed of cultivation would naturally be far faster than anyone else’s.

When you are in the Dragon Blood Realm, I’m in the Dragon Vein Realm. When you reach the Dragon Spirit Realm, I am still in the Dragon Vein Realm. You enter the Dragon Pill Realm, and I am still in the Dragon Vein Realm.

But what of it?

Once I’ve unblocked all one hundred and eight meridians, I will quickly surpass you!

Moreover, with the time Su Han had lived in his past life, nearly a hundred million years spent traversing the entire Star River, the methods of cultivation and increasing strength he knew were far too numerous.

To Su Han, the realms of this Dragon Martial Continent truly appeared low-level.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Ping Yuzi truly left Su Han alone. Whatever he said, Su Han would not listen, and whether Su Han lived or died was no longer his concern.

“Hum~”

Just at that moment, a humming sound suddenly emerged.

Then, among the thousands present, a golden radiance burst forth from a figure dressed in blue.

Dragon Vein Activation!
