Chapter 8: The Ten-Day Promise

  "Fine! Since you want to send this trash to his death, I'll send him off with a bang! Ten days later, see you at the Western Yuan Martial Arts Arena's life and death duel arena! Prepare a coffin for him. The day he lies in it will be the day I marry Luo Ningxiang! Hahahaha!" A sinister glint flashed in Zhao Jun's eyes as he smiled coldly, his right hand surging with internal energy as he lightly slapped the wooden table.

  Boom!

  That wooden table was shattered into four or five pieces under Zhao Jun's palm, with wood chips flying everywhere.

  "Internal energy condensed, this is the pinnacle of the Condensing Qi Realm!!!"

  "He's a strong practitioner at the peak of Qi Condensation? How is that possible? This Zhao Jun was clearly someone who liked women and didn't like to cultivate. He was only in the Tempering Body stage before, how could he possibly have the cultivation of Qi Condensation?"

  “……”

  Seeing Zhao Jun reveal this move, every face of the Su family disciples changed greatly, their faces as pale as death.

  The day after tomorrow, the fourfold condensation boundary, among the third generation of the Su family, currently only Su Hao has reached this boundary. The entire third generation of the Su family is not a match for Zhao Jun, let alone Su Han, whose dantian is broken and cannot cultivate.

  Su Zhengtian and Su He's faces also suddenly turned ashen. At this time, Su Yan had already made a decision and promise, even if they couldn't oppose it.

  Su Yan, who had been calm and collected all along, raised an eyebrow slightly, and a hint of unease flashed in the depths of his eyes.

  Zhao Jun took in the expressions of the Su family members, gave a cold smile, turned around and strode away: "Farewell!"

  Zhu Xiong gave a cold smile towards the Su family crowd and turned around to chase after Zhao Jun.

  Leaving Su's house, Zhu Xiong chuckled and said: "Young Master, the expressions of the people in Su's house when they saw you reveal your cultivation were truly wonderful."

  Zhao Jun's face revealed a hint of complacency, and his eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he coldly smiled: "The Su family has been developing rapidly over the years, threatening our Zhao family's status. However, that old scoundrel Su Yan is indeed difficult to deal with, and there are people on their side who have connections with officials, so we can't easily make a move against him. This time, however, Su Han, that useless thing, has offended the Yongsheng Marquis, and all the officials connected to the Su family are busy distancing themselves from them. It's the perfect opportunity for us to strike. This time, our Zhao family must uproot the Su family, making it impossible for them to ever recover."

  Zhu Xiong nodded with a faint smile, and his eyes flashed with a hint of lust. He licked his lips: "Young Master, you are indeed blessed. Luo Ningxiang's skin looks so tender and delicate, it must be very enjoyable to play with."

  Zhao Jun glanced at Zhu Xiong beside him and smiled lightly: "When I'm tired of playing with her, I'll let you play with her too."

  Zhu Xiong is a greedy and lustful person, who covets wealth and status. That's why he was lured by the Zhao family of Xiyuan Town. As one of the three top masters of the Lingqi realm in the Zhao family, Zhao Jun naturally tried to win him over. Any good woman, once he got tired of playing with her, would be handed over to Zhu Xiong to deal with.

  Zhu Xiong was extremely satisfied and burst out laughing: "Haha, then thank you, young master!"

  After Zhao Jun and the others left, Su Yan let his clansmen retreat, leaving only Su Han and Su Zhengtian behind.

  In Su's secret room, Su Yan stared at Su Han and carefully sized him up for a while before slowly saying: "Han Er, do you now possess the cultivation of the Condensing Qi Realm?"

  Su Han's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flashed with incredulity. To think that even legendary innate experts could only be gauged by others during the process of exchanging blows. If they didn't make a move, it was basically impossible for anyone to discern another person's cultivation level.

  Su Zhengtian was taken aback and said, "Father, Han'er's dantian is already shattered, he can't cultivate at all. How could he possibly have the cultivation of a condensed energy state? Are you mistaken?"

  Su Yan's gaze was sharp as a knife, staring at Su Han as he said calmly: "I've been through countless storms and met many people to get to where I am today. Han'er, you're using our Su family's Three Yang Body Technique today, but only with the internal energy of the Condensing Qi Realm's peak can it be performed so smoothly."

  Su Yanzheng had seen that Su Han possessed the cultivation of acquired quadruple condensation, which was why he let Su Han and Zhao Jun have a life-and-death duel in the martial arena.

  Su Han secretly admired Su Yan's prowess and said in a loud voice, "As the master of the house has said, Su Han indeed already possesses the cultivation base of the Condensing Qi Realm."

  Su Zhengtian was shocked and delighted: "But Hans, your dantian is already broken, you can't cultivate. I've checked many times, how did it recover?"

  Su Yan's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as he waved his hand: "Han Er, when there's no one around, just call me Grandpa."

  "Yes, Grandfather." Su Han quickly said: "Two months ago, I found a Tianxuan fruit on the cliff in the back mountain and swallowed it. After two months of cultivation and recovery, my dantian has recovered, and I successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the peak of the Condensation Realm."

  The Tianxuan fruit is a legendary celestial fruit, a rare treasure of heaven and earth. The Great Flame Dynasty once had an ordinary cultivator who was lucky enough to swallow one, and ultimately relied on that Tianxuan fruit to become a post-heavenly ninth-level master, dominating a prefecture and living a life of wealth and glory.

  The Tianxuan fruit is precious, but someone has obtained it. Compared to the "Nine Heavens True Water Manual", which can't even be recorded on paper, it's extremely likely that this is a legendary cultivation method of the immortals, and there's no comparison. Even if Su Han were facing Su Yan, he wouldn't dare reveal everything about the "Nine Heavens True Water Manual". If even a hint were to leak out, the entire Su family would be annihilated.

  "Tiān Xuán Guǒ!!" Su Yàn heard this and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. If Su Hán had taken the Tiān Xuán Guǒ, it meant that Su Hán would very likely become a top-notch master in the future. Once Su Hán became a top-notch master, the Su family could leap from being an ordinary local aristocratic family to becoming a first-rate aristocratic family of the Great Flame Empire.

  It wasn't until a while later that Su Yan calmed down, looking at Su Han with a serious expression: "This time against Zhao Jun, how confident are you? He is also a master of the post-heavenly fourfold condensed energy realm peak."

  Su Han's eyes flashed with an unusual light as he said in a deep voice: "I'm 100% sure, I can defeat Zhao Jun."

  At this time, Rong could not afford to let Su Han retreat. Once he was defeated, the Su family would be greatly weakened and Luo Yingxiang would also fall into hell.

  Su Yan nodded slightly, his eyes fixed intently on Su Han, and suddenly said: "Han Er, do you resent me for stripping your family of their legitimate status?"

  Su Han's body trembled slightly, and then he looked straight at Su Yan and said in a loud voice: "If I say there is no resentment, that would be a lie. But I can also understand. After all, it was because of my fault that our Su family fell to such a state. If Grandfather didn't punish us, everyone would only become more dissatisfied."

  Su Yan gazed at Su Han, a hint of comfort flashing in his eyes. He flipped his hand, and a jade box immediately appeared in it. He handed the jade box to Su Han: "This is for you, take a look inside."

  Su Han took over the jade box and opened it. Inside the jade box, a old ginseng filled with spiritual energy was quietly placed.

  Su Zhengtian looked at the old ginseng and his face suddenly changed, exclaiming: "Father, this is the only 500-year-old fire-ripe old ginseng in our Su family!! It's too precious, we can't accept it."
