Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Others laugh at me for being too insane
Editor: Exodus Tales

“Indeed,”

Ping Yuzi nodded slightly. On the Dragon Martial Continent, the limit was ten Dragon Veins.

The first to the fifth were the simplest to activate. Above the fifth, the disparity between each was immense. Some people couldn’t manage to activate another in their entire lives, resigned to breaking through to the Dragon Blood Realm.

It was truly a matter of talent.

Xiao Yuhui had that talent, able to activate the tenth Dragon Vein, but Chen Feng might not necessarily possess such talent.

Looking at those who entered the Blood Pool, the majority had entered the Second-Order Blood Pool.

However, starting from the Third-Order Blood Pool, some began to falter.

The pressure made it hard for them to breathe, yet they could still guide it into their bodies. But as more and more beast blood entered, that pressure grew stronger, and they didn’t even think about condensing stars; they felt as if their entire bodies were about to burst.

“Alas, their physical constitution just can’t handle it!”

Ping Yuzi shook his head, “Every time, so many are eliminated. It’s truly a pity. If their physical constitution is lacking, even if they activate ten Dragon Veins, but can only merge with Third-Order Beast Blood, they won’t achieve much in the future.”

“I’m dropping out!”

As expected, as soon as Ping Yuzi’s words fell, someone spoke up.

After saying that, they rushed out from the Blood Pool. The oppressive force quickly dissipated, and they were covered in sweat and pale-faced as they gasped for breath.

“I’m dropping out!”

“Me too, I’m out!”

Once the first person bowed out, it was as if they snapped a tense string for others, and people came rushing out of the Blood Pool one after another.

For them, being the first to drop out was extremely humiliating. Having held on until now was already quite commendable.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand had stepped out from the Third-Order Blood Pool, standing around it, their expressions filled with envy as they watched the others.

They understood that by dropping out now, they had decided the limits of their bodies. In the future, they could at most merge with Third-Order Beast Blood, and some might not even be able to merge with that, because they hadn’t endured long enough to condense stars.

This also indicated that their future path would be incredibly rough, implying that their Cultivation Base would, at best, reach the Dragon Spirit Realm.

The Dragon Spirit Realm was neither low nor high; across the Dragon Martial Continent, they were truly a dime a dozen.

For instance, in places like Yuanshan County, a remote and poor area, the Family Heads of the Four Great Families were all at the Dragon Spirit Realm.

“Let’s not be discouraged!”

Just as many were feeling deflated, someone suddenly noticed Su Han still in the First-Order Blood Pool and laughed, “Although our future Cultivation Base is limited, there’s still someone at the bottom, isn’t there?”

Upon hearing this, many eyes turned towards Su Han.

“Haha, that’s right!”

“Why feel down? Some who proclaim themselves as geniuses are just trash. Not possessing enough capabilities, in the end, they’ll also lose tens of millions of Gold Coins.”

“Compared to this guy who can’t even merge with First-Order Beast Blood, we are quite strong!”

Waves of ridicule emerged from their mouths, as they were aware that their future Cultivation Base wouldn’t be high, which naturally ignited an inexplicable anger inside them. Now, they fully vented this anger on Su Han.

“Enough!”

But just then, Ping Yuzi suddenly spoke up, “The second trial is not over yet, so what are you shouting about? Physical constitution and potential are not your greatest barriers. For you, the biggest barrier is mental fortitude!”

Hearing what Ping Yuzi said, those people hastily closed their mouths, thinking to themselves that Ping Yuzi wasn’t very optimistic about Su Han, so why was he speaking for Su Han now?

Could it be that just because their own physiques were inadequate, he looked down on them?

After all, they hadn’t disgraced themselves, and if by the final moments Su Han still hadn’t fused with First Order Beast Blood, they would be the winners!

Yet, at that moment, Su Han’s eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened and looked towards Ping Yuzi.

“This old guy, he doesn’t seem to be targeting me,” Su Han thought to himself.

Ping Yuzi indeed wasn’t targeting Su Han; he simply detested those with no ambition like Su Han.

Had it been anyone else, Ping Yuzi would have maintained the same attitude.

Compared to Su Han, Ping Yuzi had even more disdain for those short-sighted individuals, like those who had just spoken out.

If you have the ability, compare yourself with those stronger than you. What’s the merit in only picking on those weaker than you?

“Su Han!”

Seeing Su Han looking at him, Ping Yuzi said, “I’m telling you, there are only five more hours left until the end of the second stage. To fuse with First Order Beast Blood might take two hours, Second Order three hours, and Third Order even longer. If you keep wasting time like this, you’re going to end up completely bankrupt!”

“Even if I start fusing now, according to the speed you mentioned, wouldn’t I end up completely bankrupt all the same?”

After glancing at Chen Feng, Su Han said with a light laugh, “After all, there are already people who have entered the Fifth Order Blood Pool, right?”

“Stubborn fool!”

Ping Yuzi waved his sleeve grandly: “Do whatever you want; it’s not like you listen to what I say anyway!”

…

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.

Leng Yihui, Hu Zhengyao, Yang Lin, along with several others—a total of more than a dozen—had all entered the Fifth Order Blood Pool.

In contrast, amidst the many watching eyes, Chen Feng stood up once again and entered the Sixth Order Blood Pool.

At the center of his forehead, five stars slowly revolved, seemingly proclaiming that his physique was capable of fusing with Fifth Order Beast Blood.

“Truly impressive!”

Ping Yuzi’s eyes were filled with deep admiration: “I remember the last time the first place reached the Sixth Order Blood Pool at most, right? And they did not fully integrate because of time constraints.”

“That’s right,”

Bai Yu said, “However, Yun Yixuan entered the Sixth Order Blood Pool in the last two hours, while Chen Feng has four more hours until the end of the second stage.”

“So he might actually be able to fuse with Sixth Order Beast Blood?” Ping Yuzi’s eyes brightened.

“Not necessarily, after all, Sixth Order Beast Blood is equivalent to the Dragon Emperor Realm of humans. Even if he can fuse, it’s unlikely four hours would be enough.”

Bai Yu added, “But having such a physique is already quite remarkable.”

“It’s a pity about Leng Yihui and the others, though,”

Ping Yuzi sighed, “Only now entering the Fifth Order Blood Pool and it seems they are struggling to fuse. At least before the end of the second stage, they won’t be able to enter the Sixth Order Blood Pool.”

“Being able to fuse with Fifth Order Beast Blood is already quite good; I was only able to fuse with Fifth Order myself,”

Li Qing commented and then, looking at Su Han with a sneer, said, “At least miles ahead of that guy.”
