Chapter 113: A Single Blow Can Startle A Tiger
"What?!"
Qin Jincheng stood up abruptly, looking at the bowl in disbelief. "Fish, the second transformation of the Ink Dragon in the Fish-Dragon Realm!"
Chen Changfeng also widened his eyes in astonishment and exclaimed, "A demonic beast at the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm! Even the current strongest in the eastern region, Liu Badao, wouldn't be a match! I actually ate the meat of this terrifying demonic beast just now?"
"No wonder! No wonder it contains such a rich blood essence!"
Upon hearing these words, the other elders hesitated but eventually extended their chopsticks.
It's not that they didn't believe Su Zhan. It's just that the meat of a demonic beast at the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, especially a rare species like the Ink Dragon, was too astonishing.
If we exclude the Celestial Mountain Range, the entire eastern region, including the fifteen countries, the strongest demonic beast would only be at the first transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, and their numbers are extremely scarce. There wouldn't be more than three!
Is the meat before their eyes really the flesh of a demonic beast at the Fish-Dragon Realm? As the elders took a bite and felt the immense blood essence energy, they all showed a look of surprise.As the meat was swiftly assimilated in their stomachs, their physical bodies and blood essence grew, and their doubts vanished!
"Su Zhan, how did you manage to kill an Ink Dragon at the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm?" Qin Jincheng calmed himself down and found it difficult to understand. "If I remember correctly, when you went to Clear Sun Kingdom, you were only at the early stage of the Origin elixir Realm, right? To be able to kill an Ink Dragon at the early stage of the Origin elixir Realm is truly"
"No, I couldn't kill the Ink Dragon at the early stage of the Origin elixir Realm," Su Zhan shook his head.
Hearing Su Zhan's words, Qin Jincheng and the others found it somewhat reasonable. Indeed, it was already impressive for someone at the Origin elixir Realm to defeat a Fish-Dragon Realm, let alone a second transformation Ink Dragon? Su Zhan, talented as he may be, shouldn't be so extraordinary. It was probably just a fortunate coincidence.
Qin Jincheng, Chen Changfeng, and the others thought along these lines as they looked at Su Zhan, waiting for his further explanation.
"It's true that I couldn't kill the Ink Dragon at the early stage of the Origin elixir Realm, but when I encountered the Ink Dragon, I was already at the mid-stage of the Origin elixir Realm, so naturally, I could do it," Su Zhan said matter-of-factly while eating the meat.
Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng, who thought they had a rough idea, were now dumbfounded.
Unable to do it at the early stage of the Origin elixir Realm, but possible at the mid-stage? Could such a small realm difference make such a huge impact? Furthermore, to kill a second transformation Ink Dragon at the mid-stage of the Origin elixir Realm Even though they knew Su Zhan was abnormal, they were still taken aback.
But now, everyone's reaction was not just shock, but also a deep sense of frustration. They were all at the Origin elixir Realm, yet Su Zhan could kill a second transformation Ink Dragon. It felt like they couldn't compare at all
At this moment, Wang Hao also realized what had happened. His heart raced, and he was incredibly excited as he knelt down before Su Zhan.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Su, for your graciousness!"
"What graciousness? It's just having a meal together," Su Zhan shook his head and laughed.
The banquet continued with everyone feeling exhilarated, devouring the Ink Dragon's meat before them, even though it seemed difficult to swallow.
After the meal, Su Zhan took out the subpar Ink Dragon Sword and the subpar Ink Dragon Armor, and presented them respectively to Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng. The two of them were so excited that they almost knelt down on the spot.
Afterward, they chatted for a while and then dispersed.
The banquet consumed nearly a hundred pounds of Ink Dragon meat and gave away two treasures. Su Zhan felt calm in his heart, without any remorse.
The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect had treated him well, and now that he was capable of roaming freely in the eastern region, it was time to give back. Moreover, even though the Ink Dragon meat and the Wind Wolf King's meat had been carefully selected, leaving only the best parts, it was still enough for him to eat for several months. In fact, with his usual practice of eating once every one or two days, it could probably last him a year.
"Senior Brother, do you want these tables and chairs anymore?" Wang Hao asked as he helped with the cleanup.
"No need. They were just taken from the miscellaneous affairs department. You can dispose of these things or use them for something else," Su Zhan replied.
"Understood." Wang Hao nodded quickly and worked diligently to clean up.
After everything was cleaned up, Su Zhan took out the treasures. He would soon be attending the martial arts tournament and needed to become more proficient in using these treasures.
The Wind God Boots, made from the Wind Wolf King's demon core and fur, could make a martial artist incredibly light on their feet. When activated with true qi, they allowed the user to control the power of the wind. Even in mid-air, they could achieve high speeds without the need for a flying device and greatly increased agility.
The Ink Dragon Jade Belt, worn around the waist, could be lengthened or shortened. It was extremely durable and served as a perfect belt. Su Zhan would no longer have to worry about his pants falling down embarrassingly during a fight.
And it looked pretty good too. It might even enhance my presence a bit, Su Zhan thought with a smile as he fastened the Ink Dragon Jade Belt.
The last item was the Ink Dragon Soft Armor. Its defensive capabilities were beyond doubt, surpassing the previous Dragon Scale Armor by an unknown margin. The Ink Dragon Soft Armor was not only highly protective but also comfortable to wear. It was thin enough to be worn underneath clothes without compromising the wearer's appearance.
Great stuff!
Su Zhan put on all the treasures and took a step forward.
"Whoosh!"
A faint sound of wind echoed in the space as Su Zhan disappeared from his original position and reappeared several tens of meters away.
Taking a few more steps, he walked out of the cave and headed towards the wider world outside to familiarize himself with the power of the Wind God Boots.
The next day.
A message came through the identity token.
Su Zhan glanced at it and saw that Qin Jincheng had asked him to gather at the Main Peak Plaza and proceed to Blue Sky Mountains together to participate in the martial arts tournament.
With a flash of green light from the Wind God Boots, Su Zhan swiftly traveled through the wind. Before even reaching the Main Peak Plaza, he could already see the white jade boat that he had previously taken to the Dark Star Forest.
"Su Zhan, come quickly." On the white jade boat, Chen Changfeng stood next to Qin Jincheng, shouting towards him.
"Sect Master, Elder Chen." Su Zhan landed on the white jade boat and greeted the two.
"Su Zhan, when we arrive at Blue Sky Mountains, there's no need for you to hold back!" Chen Changfeng wore a smug smile on his face. "I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if those guys will have their jaws dropped when they witness the talent of our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. It will be quite amusing, hahaha!"
"I don't like to cause trouble. I'd rather quietly watch the martial arts tournament and then proceed to the Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground for cultivation." Su Zhan shook his head.
Qin Jincheng chuckled. "In the martial arts tournament, you don't have to go looking for trouble. There will naturally be some daredevils who come looking to provoke you. Of course, that's assuming they don't know your true strength. Otherwise, they'd probably be scared out of their wits!"
"But Su Zhan, speaking seriously, whether or not someone challenges you or seeks to spar with you, you should find an opportunity to show your strength. It doesn't have to be a competition with others, even just displaying your power will do. This way, when we ask Lui Badao to borrow the Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground, it will go more smoothly!"
Su Zhan nodded. "I understand. A single blow can startle a tiger. After seeing my strength, he won't have the courage to refuse."
