Chapter Thirty-Seven: Su Huan Was Scared Stiff

  Just as Su Lao was about to say something, Su Ming forced a smile and said, "I will definitely win this battle."

  As soon as the words fell, Su Ming swallowed five elixirs and transformed into a residual shadow again, rushing towards Su Tong. Seeing Su Ming take the initiative to attack, Old Su reluctantly exited the Beast Cage Platform.

  Just now, Su Ming was able to withstand Su Tong's move for the most part because he activated the Xiu Mo system, possessing the power of Blood Demon, and his defensive strength increased. At the same time, when he clashed with Tu Lang, he continuously swung out ten swords, dissolving a portion of the attack, and only then did he manage to withstand this blow at the cost of being injured.

  Su Ming didn't want to use his trump card, but now it seemed he had no choice. As the sword attacked Su Tong, it contained ice elements, causing Su Tong, who was already slow in movement, to enter a frozen state.

  Su Tong's body was covered with a thin layer of frost, and as Su Ming continued to attack, he had lost his agility, moving extremely slowly. If Su Ming's Shadowless Sword hadn't been too low, it would have definitely injured him with one strike.

  Gradually, Su Tong's body began to stiffen, standing still like a robot as he allowed Su Ming to attack. Su Ming, with blood at the corner of his mouth, revealed a faint smile as he attacked, thinking that if he could just strike a few dozen more times, Su Tong would definitely turn into an ice sculpture, and even if he couldn't hurt him with his attacks, he would still freeze to death.

  Everyone under the stage was confused by Su Ming's move, as he clearly had only Mortal Realm strength, yet possessed attribute attacks that only Innate experts should have, and to make matters worse, it was a special Ice attribute, leaving people baffled.

  When Su Huan shifted his gaze away from Xi Yu, he found that something was off with his son. When he saw that Su Ming's attack actually contained frost, he was shocked in his heart. However, he quickly regained his composure and leapt towards the Beast Cage Platform.

  "Suhuai Commander, what are you going to do?" Su Lao blocked Suhuai and asked in a cold voice.

  "Su Lao, didn't you see Su Ming making a killing move on my son?" Su Huan spoke impulsively without thinking and immediately regretted his words.

  "Suhuai Commander, if you think Sutong is no match for him, you can surrender on his behalf." Su Lao ignored Suhuai and said with a cold smile, seemingly pleased to see this scene.

  Su Huan's body trembled, and his heart was filled with a hundred emotions. If he conceded defeat on behalf of Su Tong, then Su Tong would lose all face, and his own plan would also be disrupted. But if he didn't concede defeat for Su Tong, then with Su Tong's current state, it was impossible for him to say anything. And wanting Su Lao to stop the match was out of the question, unless one of them delivered a fatal blow. However, every attack from Su Ming couldn't harm Su Tong, only continuously worsening the freezing effect on his body. If this went on for too long, even if Su Tong didn't die, he would still be left with internal injuries.

  "Su Lao, I'll admit defeat on Su Tong's behalf. Hurry up and stop Su Ming!" Su Huan didn't want his son to suffer any harm. Anyway, the position of clan leader was basically in hand, and once he became the clan leader, he would properly cultivate Su Tong, who would eventually trample Su Ming underfoot.

  "The match is over, Su Ming wins." Su Lao directly announced the end of the match and then opened the chain door. Just as he opened the door, Su Ming's body fell straight onto the battlefield, motionless.

  If Su Huan hesitated for a moment longer, Su Ming might have lost. The reason why Su Ming could hold on until now was entirely due to the elixir given by Mu Ye.

  Su Lao picked up Su Ming and sent a Huachun Dan into his mouth. After a moment, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, and upon seeing the crowd beside him, he smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I held on, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

  As soon as Su Ming spoke, Su Huan and his father left the Beast Fighting Arena in anger. They had originally wanted to show off, but they didn't expect to suffer such a huge loss. In fact, Su Tong had already sensed that Su Ming's attacks were getting weaker and weaker, so he hadn't made a move, waiting for the moment when Su Ming was no longer able to fight, to deliver the final blow. Who knew that his father would directly admit defeat on his behalf, letting him hand over the victory that was within his grasp, and at the same time giving the honor of being the strongest among the younger generation to Su Ming? Su Ming's reputation in the Su Clan rose once again, second only to Su Han.

  Su Ming stabilized his injuries and gradually recovered with the help of Erpin Dan Yao's Huachun Dan, and his spiritual power also slowly recovered. Seeing that Su Ming was fine, everyone dispersed one by one, leaving only Gulan and Xiyu behind.

  "Tomorrow's match is a direct loss for me." Gu Lan said with a resentful tone, glaring at Su Ming after everyone had left.

  "Mother, the match just now was a test for me. Actually, I still have some tricks up my sleeve. I just wanted to exercise my skills a bit. Otherwise, that kid Su Tong wouldn't even be my opponent." Su Ming said with a smile.

  "Don't think that just because you defeated Su Tong, you're invincible. He's just a warrior with some innate abilities, but your uncle is a complete and perfect innate master, second only to your father in strength. I won't let you participate in tomorrow's competition." Gu Lan made up his mind not to allow Su Ming to join the competition, although he knew that Su Ming must have some hidden cards, he didn't dare to let his own son take risks, after all, the gap between Su Ming and Su Xuan was too great.

  "Mother, I'm now only one step away from success. Can you really bear to let me give up directly? You also saw it earlier, I already have the ice attribute. Even if I'm not a match for my uncle, I won't die. I still have some ability to protect myself." Su Ming argued strongly for himself.

  "Don't say any more, I'll go find your Uncle Qing right now and have him cancel your match qualification." Gu Lan turned around and headed towards the inner courtyard of the Su residence.

  "Mother, do you think Eldest Uncle would allow me to withdraw from the competition? Qing Shu has already been injured by Eldest Uncle, can you bear to let him suffer humiliation with his wounded body?" Su Ming said in a low tone.

  As soon as Su Ming's words fell, Gu Lan's body paused for a moment, and for a while, she was at a loss for what to do. Since Su Han lost the position of Grand Marshal, Su Huan had been oppressing them, and Gu Lan had been letting Su Han endure again and again, which ultimately led to Su Han taking only 2,000 soldiers to the battlefield to attack the Tashi tribe with 8,000 soldiers. After Su Han left, Su Huan's oppression became more blatant, thinking that it was all supported by Su Qing's bitter efforts. Now that even Su Qing has been seriously injured, should they continue to endure?

  In an instant, Gu Lan had the idea of letting Su Ming beat up Su Huan, but it flashed by and was gone. Sighing, Gu Lan turned around and helped Xi Yu support Su Ming back to the stone house.

  One night passed, Su Ming's injuries were fully recovered. This kind of healing speed was somewhat abnormal, but Su Ming was not satisfied at all. If others knew about this, they would definitely scold him severely.

  Su Ming's body had a system, so his healing was different from ordinary people. As long as he didn't suffer fatal injuries, he could slowly recover over time. Dan medicine could also help him recover to some extent in a short period of time, which was much stronger than ordinary people.
