“Utter destruction? Su Han, your words are really bold!”

Su Yuhui’s beautiful eyes emanated coldness as she stared at Su Han for a while. Then, they turned to look at Su Yunming.

“Uncle Su, you sired a ‘good’ son!”

After saying those words, Xiao Yuhui snorted coldly and left the Su Clan with a slight push off the ground.

“This…”

Su Yunming looked at the scene with an unsightly expression.

“Humph. Fourth brother, your son sure has made our family ‘proud’!”

Su Yunchen’s eyes also flickered with coldness. After all, Su Han had humiliated his son in front of all these people.

“At least he’s stronger than your son,” Su Yunming said coldly.

“You!”

Su Yunchen quickly turned livid. However, he knew that he couldn’t attack Su Han, a junior, and he had also said that the adults shouldn’t meddle in their competition. He could only blame his son for being inferior.

“Let’s all disperse,” First Patriarch Su Yunlie said.

“Humph!”

Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng grunted coldly, then flung out their sleeves and left, leading away Su Mingxuan and the others.

After they left, Su Yunlie turned to look at Su Han again. “How many dragon veins have you opened now?”

“Eight,” Su Han said indifferently.

“Really?!”

Su Yunlie’s face brightened.

This wasn’t a disguised reaction. Su Yunlie had always remained neutral and never sided with Su Yunming or Su Yunchen. He only wanted what was best for the Su Clan.

“Yes.” Su Han nodded slightly.

“Haha. Heaven has helped our Su Clan!”

Su Yunlie laughed out loud. “Although it is the same as you were at your peak, you are now able to cultivate again. With your talents, you really might break through to ten dragon veins if you don’t rush.”

“Ten?”

Su Han raised an eyebrow but stayed silent.

Ten dragon veins were the pinnacle of all cultivators in the Martial Dragon Continent.

Su Han’s goal… was to have meridians all over his body. One hundred and eight meridians!

“Su Han, tell me if you need anything. Let’s see if you can get your strength up before the Frost Cloud Sect’s annual recruitment.”

Su Yunlie said excitedly, “You might even have a chance of directly becoming the Frost Cloud Sect’s top disciple if you can open another dragon vein.”

The four clans were overlords of the Far Mountain province.

However, they still looked up to the Frost Cloud Sect.

On the Martial Dragon Continent, the Sect had a legendary reputation and was also the largest faction.

The sects were categorized as ninth grade sect, eighth grade sect, seventh grade sect… up to first grade sect, with ninth grade being the lowest and first grade being the highest.

Of course, there were also the legendary Super Sects such as the Gathered Gods Sect, Giant Island, and the Imperial Beast Pavilion.

The Frost Cloud Sect was classified as a ninth grade sect.

However, even a ninth grade sect was considered to be a massive faction in a small place like Far Mountain Province.

In the Far Mountain Province, all the young disciples’ biggest dream was to enter the Frost Cloud Sect, because it was far richer in resources than any of the four big clans.

Once Su Han entered the Frost Cloud sect, the Su Clan’s position would also be immediately secured, even if he only became an inner disciple like Xiao Yuhui.

Thus far, only Xiao Yuhui from the Xiao Clan in the Far Mountain Province had become an inner disciple of the Frost Cloud Sect. This had allowed the Xiao Clan’s position to also rise to the top, making them an unspoken leader of the four big clans.

“Su Han, you have to join the Frost Cloud Sect. If you can really do it, I will apologize to you for forcing you to marry Xiao Yuran in front of everyone in the Su Clan,” Su Yunlie said with a serious expression.

Su Han looked Su Yunlie in the eye and smiled slightly. “I’ll try my best.”

Su Han didn’t really have any hostility towards Su Yunlie, since he wasn’t bad in nature and only wanted to do good for the Su Clan.

However, Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng were different. These two had deep motives and were vicious in nature. They would do absolutely anything to overthrow Su Yunming’s position as Grand Patriarch.

“Alright then. I will give you what I can from your share of spirit items from the clan. I’ll give you three years’ worth in advance. That’s the most I can do for you.”

Su Yunlie turned and left after he finished speaking.

Su Han had always been a genius. Back then, the Su Clan had placed all their hopes on Su Han, but unfortunately, he had ended up experiencing berserk Qi deviation…

Now that Su Han could cultivate again, Su Yunlie would naturally have to do his best to nurture him.

…

That day, Su Yunlie sent a package to Su Han.

“There’s not even a storage ring.”

Looking at the big package in front of him, Su Han shook his head helplessly.

In his last life, a storage ring was trash to him. He could have as many as he wanted.

However, a storage ring was an extremely rare item on the Martial Dragon Continent. The lowest grade storage ring cost at least ten million gold coins.

“Spirit Mist Herbs, Magical Cloud Roots, Low Grade Spirit Stone, Meridian Lotion…”

Su Han smacked himself in the forehead. “These are really… It’s fine, it’s fine. I can’t compare this life with the previous one. I’ll have to make do with what I have now.”

Obviously, these were very desirable items for a Su Clan disciple. Yet they were not even worth mentioning in Su Han’s eyes.

However, there was no other way. With the current conditions, Su Han can only make do with these items.

“These items and four more weeks of cultivating with the spiritual Qi should be enough to open the ninth and tenth meridians.”

Su Han mumbled for a bit and closed his eyes. Then, he sat down with his legs crossed, and slowly began circulating the Dragon Vein Emperor Art.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

“Phew…”

Su Han opened the door and walked out of the room. His long and narrow eyes were like stars, and a light flashed within.

“Frost Cloud Sect? It’s only a ninth grade sect.”

Pursing his lips, Su Han walked out towards the conference hall.

At the moment, all four patriarchs were sitting in the conference hall, discussing something.

Su Yunlie revealed a smile and waved at Su Han when he saw him enter. “Quickly, come and sit. We and your father are discussing the trip to Fiend Beast Mountain Range.”

“Fiend Beast Mountain Range?”

Su Han’s eyes lit up as he sat next to Su Yunming.

“Hanny, how’s your cultivation going?” Su Yunming looked at Su Han. The more Yunming looked at Su Han, the more he liked Su Han.

“It’s alright. Unfortunately, I already used up all the spirit items. If not, I could have grown even stronger,” said Su Han.

“You used it all?”

Su Yunlie’s eyes widened at this. “I gave you three years’ worth of your share and you used it up in three days?”

“What?!”

Before Su Han could respond, Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng got up from the side.

“Big brother, how could you do this? All disciples are equal in the Su Clan. Also, the spirit items didn’t come easily. How could you favor him so much and give him three years’ share?” Su Yunchen said angrily.

“Why can’t I? This is my right,” said Su Yunlie.

“Mingxuan and Minghui aren’t lacking in talents either. How could you only give it to Su Han?” Su Yunpeng gritted his teeth.

“If they could catch up to Su Han, naturally I would also give them three years’ worth of their share,” Su Yunlie said indifferently.

“Humph!”

Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng snorted coldly and said no more.
