"Slap!"
The crisp sound echoed throughout the courtyard, leaving everyone stunned.
"You, you dared to hit me?"
Su Mingxuan covered his flushed face, eyes wide with disbelief.
This piece of trash actually dared to lay a hand on him in front of so many people?
"I did hit you!"
Su Han gazed at Su Mingxuan and said calmly, "You've insulted me over and over again. If I don't teach you a lesson, would you think you could ascend to the heavens?"
What a joke—as the once Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, who didn't bow and scrape before me, obeying my every command?
Although I've been reborn and lost the cultivation base of my past life, the pride of my previous life cannot be erased!
"You damned cur, I'll kill you!"
Teeth clenched, Su Mingxuan roared and charged straight at Su Han.
"Stop!"
Su Yunming, not far away, hastily spoke up, fearing that Su Han would be at a disadvantage, since to everyone's eyes, Su Han was nothing but a useless man incapable of cultivation.
"Let him come."
Su Han spoke indifferently and, while saying so, stretched out his finger, provocatively waggling it at Su Mingxuan.
Seeing this, Su Mingxuan grew even angrier, thinking to himself, you think you're still the same person as before, you piece of trash?
"Swoosh!"
Su Mingxuan's face turned icy as a golden light suddenly surged within his palm, a sign that a Dragon Vein was on the verge of erupting.
"Su Han, don't say I'm bullying you—I'll only use one Dragon Vein!" Su Mingxuan sneered.
"Idiot." Su Han uttered the two words evenly.
Incensed even more now, Su Mingxuan wanted exactly that—to humiliate Su Han, to let Su Han know that even if he, Su Mingxuan, only used one Dragon Vein, Su Han was no match for him.
As the Dragon Vein emerged, Su Mingxuan's speed instantly increased. When he arrived in front of Su Han, he violently aimed for Su Han's face.
A single Dragon Vein rising was only somewhat stronger than an ordinary person, after all.
"This is the might of your one Dragon Vein?"
Su Han's lips curled into a mocking smile, and with a sudden move, he grabbed Su Mingxuan's arm and jerked it forward harshly.
While pulling, Su Han's left foot shot out like lightning, kicking straight at Su Mingxuan's ankle, sending him flying, only to smash into the ground with a thud under Su Han's tug.
This scene once again left everyone in the courtyard dumbfounded.
The slap from Su Han earlier could be overlooked, since it had come suddenly when nobody had expected it.
But now, Su Mingxuan had been prepared and initiated the attack first, yet the outcome... was him tumbling down like a dog eating dirt?
"To deal with you, you need a Dragon Vein—I don't need even one to handle you," came Su Han's flat voice once more.
There stood Su Han, his posture ramrod straight, his aura calm, like a proud, unyielding pine amidst snow.
True to his words, although he had made a move just now, he had not used a Dragon Vein!
"This guy..."
Xiao Yuhui was somewhat surprised; although one Dragon Vein didn't add too much strength, to effortlessly knock down an opponent like Su Han had done, Xiao Yuhui admitted, she couldn't achieve it.
"Su Han!!!"
Su Mingxuan scrambled up from the ground, utterly disheveled, his eyes seeming to devour Su Han whole.
"If you have something to say, say it," said Su Han.
"You bastard, I'll kill you!!!"
"Boom!"
With a roar, Su Mingxuan's whole body shook, and a powerful aura exploded from him.
At the same time, five golden lines appeared, visible through the fabric of Su Mingxuan's clothes, radiating intense brightness.
"Oh, so one Dragon Vein wasn't enough to defeat me, and now you've deployed all your Dragon Veins?"
Su Han's mouth curled up, his words filled with disdain.
Anger completely filled Su Mingxuan's mind. With a stomp, he lunged forward like a fierce tiger, charging directly at Su Han.
"You dare!"
Su Yunming's face changed instantly, ready to intervene at a moment's notice.
Unexpectedly, Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng's figures flickered and actually blocked his path.
"Youngest brother, it's just sparring between brothers. You really shouldn't interfere," Su Yunchen said with a sinister smile.
"You..."
"Boom!"
As Su Yunming's anger was about to explode, and he was about to speak, a muffled thud suddenly came from ahead, followed by the sight of a figure flying backward, spewing blood midair.
"A frog in a well knows nothing of the great ocean. It's only right for Mingxuan to put you in your place."
Thinking the flying figure was Su Han, Su Yunchen turned back with a cold laugh.
However, as he saw who it really was, his face drastically changed.
"Impossible!"
Cries of shock came from both Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng.
They saw that the person sent flying was not Su Han as they had expected, but Su Yunming!
They couldn't believe what they saw. Su Yunming had unleashed five Dragon Veins, while Su Han was nothing but a waste with a shattered Dragon Vein. By all accounts, Su Han should have been the one sent flying!
"Trash."
Su Han looked at the unconscious Su Mingxuan and said indifferently, "Five Dragon Veins and that's all the strength you have? If it were me, I'd have already banged my head to death."
"Han'er, are you alright?"
Su Yunming ran over, still in disbelief. Wasn't his son rendered unable to cultivate?
"He's not even qualified to trouble me," Su Han said.
"You...
As Su Yunming sized up Su Han from top to bottom, joy filled his eyes: "Han'er, can you cultivate now?"
If Su Han had managed to knock Su Mingxuan flying with the strength of an ordinary person, Su Yunming would never believe it.
It was one thing to activate a single Dragon Vein, but to activate five would grant at least a few thousands of pounds of sheer power. How could an ordinary person be a match?
"Yes." Su Han nodded slightly.
"Haha, that's wonderful!"
Su Yunming immediately burst into laughter.
As for Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng, their faces darkened with gloom.
They had always wanted to oust Su Yunming from the position of Family Head. Su Han's cultivation gone awry was a perfect opportunity.
But now, before they could fully exploit this chance, Su Han was able to cultivate again?
"This little beast, hiding his true skills so deeply…" Su Yunchen ground his teeth in anger.
"Alright."
At this moment, Xiao Yuhui spoke up: "Su Han, I didn't come here today to watch you brothers fight. Give me a straight answer, will you marry my sister or not?"
"I will not!" Su Han proclaimed, sweeping his sleeve grandly.
"Hmph, do you really think that having some talent means you're above everyone else and can look down on the world?"
Xiao Yuhui's face immediately darkened as she said sternly, "I will give you one last chance. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame my Xiao Family for being heartless!"
"Heartless?"
Su Han turned to look at Xiao Yuhui and suddenly laughed.
"If the Xiao Family dares to be reckless, I, Su Han, will personally make my way there and let you know what a catastrophe truly is!"
