Whoosh!
The spear turned into a beam of light and pierced violently into the Fanged Porcupine’s belly at lightning speed.
Immediately, a hole appeared in the porcupine’s belly, and fresh red blood flowed out from it.
“Owooo… owooo…”
The porcupine wailed miserably as the enormous force of the spear sent it rolling away. After a couple of rolls, it crashed into a tree with a bam and stopped making any noise.
“Nice!”
“Haha, you have proven yourself once again, Vice Captain Hu Feng. Killing a grade-one beast is as easy as chopping vegetables for you!”
“Impressive; you have my respect!”
Cheers rang out from the crowd. As a cultivator in the middle stage of the Dragon Blood Realm, it was indeed easy for Hu Feng to kill a grade-one fiend beast.
Su Mingxuan’s and Su Minghui’s eyes also lit up, clearly in awe.
Only Su Han shook his head slightly when he saw the Fanged Porcupine.
“Huh?”
Su Mingxuan happened to notice that Su Han was shaking his head openly.
Su Mingxuan, always looking for opportunities to pick on Su Han, immediately said with a cold laugh, “Su Han, why are you shaking your head? Could it be that you’re looking down on Vice Captain Hu Feng?”
The moment Su Mingxuan spoke, everyone immediately looked over.
Hu Feng also took notice of Su Han’s reaction and felt discontent. After all, despite not having done his best, he had put a lot of effort into that throw to show off his skills in front of the three young masters.
“Young Master Su Han, was there anything lacking about my throw just now?” Hu Feng questioned.
Hu Feng only asked for asking’s sake. To him, Su Han was still only in the Dragon Vein Realm. Being a genius didn’t matter there—what could Su Han possibly know?
However, Su Han shook his head once again and said, “There wasn’t enough strength, focus, explosiveness, or accuracy.”
These four criticisms stunned everyone. All the captains and vice captains—Hu Feng, Zhang Hai, and Pang Qing—were shocked out of their minds.
Su Han was only an insignificant Dragon Vein Realm cultivator. How did he dare criticize the techniques of a Dragon Blood Realm cultivator?
“Bullshit!”
Su Mingxuan naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and make a good impression in front of Hu Feng and everyone else. If Su Mingxuan could get them to dislike Su Han, then Su Han would not have a chance to get a share of the spirit items.
Despite the clan rules, the captain also had the authority to distribute the items differently based on the situation.
“Su Han, how high do you think your own cultivation level is? You’re only slightly faster at cultivating. You think you can comprehend the moves of Vice Captain Hu Feng?” Su Mingxuan snorted coldly.
Su Minghui also added, “How ridiculous! Don’t eat the Fanged Porcupine tonight, then! Hunt your own if you can!”
“Alright.”
Hu Feng looked at Su Han and said with a frown, “Since Young Master Su Han thinks that I was lacking, would you kindly demonstrate for me the way you would do it, so I could learn a thing or two from you?”
Evidently, Hu Feng was not pleased.
As vice captain of the guards, he was well respected by his subordinates. Even the young men he led in the past did not dare to speak to him this way.
Although Su Han was higher in status, in regard to practical combat experience in Fiend Beast Mountain Range, he was just a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator that had come out for experiential training for the first time. How could he match Hu Feng?
“If another Fanged Porcupine shows up, I’ll show you,” Su Han said indifferently.
“Humph!”
Many guards snorted and thought Su Han was being pretentious. Even if Su Han had a higher status, it didn’t mean they had to respect him.
“Then I’ll really have to see what you’ve got,” Su Mingxuan added.
Su Han ignored him. Su Mingxuan was just like an ant to him. To argue with Su Mingxuan was an insult to himself, given Su Han’s position.
“Take care of this Fanged Porcupine. Let’s keep moving for now; there must be middle grade spirit items the porcupine was guarding not far ahead,” Pang Qing said, glancing at Su Han.
Very soon, the group removed the meat from the Fanged Porcupine and kept moving.
Roar!
Not long after, another roar sounded.
“Another one?”
“Heh heh, looks like this Fanged Porcupine isn’t satisfied with Young Master Su Han as well.”
“Perfect, since Young Master Su Han made so many criticisms of Vice Captain. Let us see what he’s got.”
Many guards whispered to each other upon hearing the roar.
“Su Han, aren’t you very incredible? Here comes another Fanged Porcupine. Don’t embarrass yourself,” Su Mingxuan said loudly.
Hu Feng also looked towards Su Han. “Please make a move, Young Master Su Han.”
“Let me borrow your spear,” Su Han said indifferently.
Hu Feng paused. Then, he tossed the spear in his hand over and Su Han caught it.
“Take a good look,” Su Han said.
Hu Feng couldn’t help frowning and thinking to himself, Just be direct and say that you can’t. We can’t do anything to you. Why do you have to keep the act going?
“Huff huff.”
The bushes started rattling intensely. Immediately after, a large Fanged Porcupine entered everyone’s sight.
“Everyone, be careful. The Fanged Porcupines are solitary beasts, yet there’s already been two. Something fishy is going on,” Pang Qing said loudly.
Roar!
As soon as Pang Qing finished speaking, the fanged beast stomped on the ground and suddenly charged at everyone with its enormous body.
Everyone backed away to give Su Han a chance to make his move.
Su Han held the spear and stood upright. His gaze was calm as he watched the Fanged Porcupine charge at him, keeping absolutely still.
“Thirty meters, twenty… ten. Young Master Su Han, it’s time to make a move!”
“Why isn’t he moving? Could it be that he’s been shocked out of his wits?”
“Young Master Su Han!”
Seeing that the Fanged Porcupine was only five meters away from Su Han, Hu Feng and the others couldn’t help but become a little anxious. If the porcupine killed Su Han, then they’d be at fault too!
Right at this moment, Su Han focused his gaze. His robes rippled and six rays of light emerged on his body.
The light was coming from Su Han’s meridians, the so-called dragon veins of the Martial Dragon Continent.
“Oh no!”
Hu Feng immediately said, “Young Master Su Han, the Fanged Porcupine has an extremely strong charge, and its flesh and skin are extremely thick. The force from six dragon veins won’t be able to harm it!”
It was like Su Han had not heard Hu Feng. His eyes flickered. Then, he suddenly raised the spear in his hand and threw it out.
Whoosh!
In that instant, the spear turned into a lightning bolt. The crowd couldn’t see clearly. Even Hu Feng and Pang Qing could only see a dark shadow shooting forward.
That shadow passed through the void and charged directly towards the Fanged Porcupine. To everyone, it appeared like the light brushed past the shoulder of the porcupine and stabbed into the ground.
“Protect Young Master Su Han!” Pang Qing couldn’t help but yell as his heart skipped a beat.
Hu Feng and Zhang Hai were just about to make a move when…
“No need.”
Just then, Su Han’s indifferent voice faintly rang out.
