This was utter nonsense!
If Su Han could reach Xiao Yuhui’s level, what need would the Su Clan still have to rely on the Xiao Clan? What need would there be to force Su Han to marry Xiao Yuran?
No one took these words seriously. This was because Su Han had already broken his dragon veins and lost everything. He could no longer cultivate, and for the rest of his life could only be looked down upon as trash.
“Su Yunchen, don’t you think your words were a little too harsh?” Su Yunming’s expression darkened.
“Not at all.”
These three words were rightfully spoken. However, they were not spoken by Su Yunchen but by Su Han.
“Look; even your son said it isn’t harsh. Also, these are facts, are they not?” Su Yunchen smiled coldly.
The others looked at Su Han suspiciously. Did he finally come to his senses? they thought to themselves.
They did not think that Su Han would fling his sleeves out, turn his back, and walk out of the hall.
As Su Han’s figure faded into the distance, the indifferent words that were said slowly struck the minds of everyone.
“Eight dragon veins? Inner disciple? Ha ha ha… How could a sparrow know the will of a swan?1
“Su Yunchen, Su Yunpeng, do you think that I, Su Han, won’t be able to return to my previous state?
“In my eyes, you are no elders. Wait until I enter the Frost Cloud Sect and look down upon you folks. You will be begging on your knees with regrets when that moment comes.”
…
Su Han left the hall and returned to his room.
Su Han did not know what happened in the hall after he left, nor did he want to.
This was the second day after Su Han was reincarnated into the Martial Dragon Continent and the Su Clan.
Since Su Han’s reincarnation, he was forced by Su Yunchen and others to discuss marrying Xiao Yuran. Finally, he could spare himself some time to cultivate.
This little fellow’s body sure is somewhat frail! Su Han thought to himself.
Su Han could feel every one of the broken dragon veins within his body. These dragon veins were all used by cultivators. Though broken, they did not affect his limbs or his body, and he merely became an ordinary person who was unable to cultivate.
“However, thinking about it, wasn’t my body just as frail one hundred million years ago when I just started training?
“In my last life, I stepped over hundreds of thousands of bodies, held sway over the mortal realm and controlled the holy realm. In this life, I will be able to do just as much!”
Su Han let out a light breath. Then, he sat down with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes slightly, and a particular cultivation method began appearing in his mind.
It was the Fiend Dragon Emperor Art!
Su Han had taken the Fiend Dragon Emperor Art from the hands of the Sage Monarch Dragon Emperor.
Back then, the Sage Monarch Dragon Emperor was known as ‘The First Ancient Emperor’, but was unfortunately surpassed by Su Han and slain in the ‘Mountain of a Thousand Gods’.
It was from that time that Su Han started cultivating the Fiend Dragon Emperor Art and became widely known in the mortal realm as the Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor.
In his past life, Su Han started his cultivation from the basics. He took a lot of wrong paths and also tried many different cultivation methods.
In this life, Su Han naturally would not have to take any wrong paths, since he had the Fiend Dragon Emperor Art.
“I’ll first try out the spiritual Qi of this Far Mountain Province to see what its level is.”
After muttering to himself for a while, Su Han shut his eyes, and the Fiend Dragon Emperor Art’s circulation method started to circulate.
The Fiend Dragon Emperor Art had seven levels—the Dragon Vein Emperor Art, Dragon Spirit Emperor Art, Dragon Rider Emperor Art, Dragon Monarch Emperor Art, Dragon Solar Emperor Art, Dragon God Emperor Art, and finally the Dragon Emperor Art!
Naturally, Su Han cultivated the first level—Dragon Vein Emperor Art.
Coincidentally, the early stage of the cultivation realm of Martial Dragon Continent was the Dragon Vein Realm, and the energy that all cultivators cultivated was dragon aura.
The Dragon Vein Realm did not have an early, middle, and late stage. Strength was instead measured by one’s number of dragon veins.
There once lived a peerless genius who, in a manner that shocked the heavens, unlocked ten of the dragon veins. This was the cultivation limit of all martial disciples in the Dragon Vein Realm on the Martial Dragon Continent, and had not been surpassed for millions of years.
It could also be said that ten veins was the peak of the Dragon Vein Realm. If one could unlock ten dragon veins, then he would be the brightest of all geniuses, unmatched by anyone.
This also showed how surprising it was that Xiao Yuhui could open eight dragon veins before reaching the age of twenty.
As for the past ‘Su Han’, who also unlocked eight dragon veins but was two years younger than Xiao Yuhui, he naturally was even more astonishing.
Back then, everyone thought that Su Han was definitely the most promising genius to go on and open ten dragon veins.
Who could have thought that when he opened the eighth dragon vein, Su Han would impatiently attempt the ninth before properly stabilizing the eighth dragon vein, resulting in berserk spiritual Qi deviation and losing all of his cultivation?
If the current Su Han were not reincarnated in him, it would be awfully likely that in his current life, he could only be trash that everyone laughed at.
The Dragon Vein Emperor Art’s circulation began. Since the Dragon Vein Emperor Art was too powerful, it started out slowly. If the circulation were too fast, it would very likely hurt Su Han’s foundations. Then, cultivation would be permanently over for him and nobody would be able to save it.
As the Dragon Vein Emperor Art circulated, a string of spiritual Qi entered Su Han’s body. The greatness of the Dragon Vein Emperor Art could be seen from this, as the past Su Han could no longer absorb any more spiritual Qi. That was also the biggest reason he could not continue cultivation.
As the spiritual Qi entered Su Han’s body, it slowly arrived at his meridians.
Su Han never intended to repair his broken dragon veins.
What good would repairing do? It would only get in the way of Su Han’s cultivation.
The so-called ‘Dragon Vein’ was only an invention of the ignorant people of the Martial Dragon Continent. What Su Han cultivated in his past life were meridians and not these rubbish dragon veins.
Of course, in the context of the Martial Dragon Continent, meridians were absolutely able to rival dragon veins.
How many dragon veins could one have? At most, ten.
As for meridians… one could have one hundred and eight of them.
…
Time pushed forward. In the blink of an eye, two hours had already passed.
The more spiritual Qi that entered Su Han’s body, the faster the circulation of the Dragon Vein Emperor Art became.
Hummm…
At a certain moment, a humming sound suddenly emerged from within Su Han.
Su Han’s expression remained the same, but his circulation suddenly sped up.
If his previous circulation speed allowed Su Han to circulate all one hundred and eight meridians in an hour, then his current speed could make ten circulations with the same amount of time.
A tenfold increase in speed!
Thump!
With the speed increased by ten times, the surrounding spiritual Qi seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible force, leaving behind a vacuum of spiritual Qi that extended dozens of meters in every direction.
As for Su Han, he immediately redirected all the spiritual Qi that entered his body to rush towards his first meridian.
Splash!
In that moment, the first meridian absorbed all the spiritual Qi and lit up with a splashing noise, like a lamp in the dark.
Su Han’s shirt made a chi noise and was pulverized entirely.
The meridians underneath Su Han’s skin showed themselves clearly.
After only a brief moment, the meridian’s brightness suddenly dimmed with a thought from Su Han.
“The first meridian!”
Su Han slowly opened his eyes and let out a mouthful of turbid air from his mouth.
Su Han did not stop to rest. Instead, he accelerated the circulation of the Dragon Vein Emperor Art and sucked dry all the surrounding spiritual Qi, as far as hundreds of meters away.
