Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 655: Chapter 652: Inviting Ling Xiao

Su Han could feel it, a Holy Spirit Level aura emanated from the satin, specifically a Mid-Grade Holy Spirit Level.

When Su Han’s Divine Sense swept over it, the satin fiercely struggled, clearly indicating the Artifact Spirit within did not accept Su Han.

For someone like Su Han, a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining, dealing with such an Artifact Spirit was not a problem.

”Bang Bang Bang!”

His palm struck the satin several times in succession, causing it to tremble mightily, the orange light diminishing significantly, as if it was about to completely dissipate.

The Artifact Spirit within no longer struggled, but still did not accept Su Han.

Of course, Su Han understood this to be natural; coercion was ineffective. For such an Artifact Spirit, unless enticed, it would rather dissipate than acknowledge a master.

If it did not acknowledge him, it would not display the full power of a Holy Spirit Level weapon, and would essentially be a name in vain.

”After returning to the sect, I will have Dongfang Han or Ling Qinghai properly refine it.”

Su Han smiled slightly and directly tossed the satin to Hong Chen.

”Take this, give it to your sister when you return; it suits her very well.”

”Thank you, Sect Master!”

Hong Chen, who was in the midst of battle, took time out to laugh heartily.

”These are for you.”

Su Han then took out a total of ten Divine Stones, exactly those obtained from Guyue’s Storage Bag, and tossed them to Liuyun and the others.

There was no scramble for them; according to the positions and Cultivation Bases within the Phoenix Sect, the Divine Stones ended up in the hands of different individuals, any additional acquisitions would be given to others. ℯℯ𝑙.

Su Han had also purchased many of these Divine Stones. The thousand people who entered this time were given one each, to save their lives.

It was just one stone after all; although Su Han was now said to be very wealthy, one Divine Stone was worth one hundred million, and these thousand stones were altogether worth one hundred billion Spirit Stones, plus the other items purchased, Su Han’s wealth was nearly half depleted.

”As a leader-level figure of the Giant Island this time, to have merely ten billion Spirit Stones, it’s really poor.”

Su Han shook his head as he distributed the items, keeping only the Spirit Stones for himself.

Thirteen billion Spirit Stones, which would have seemed a lot in the past, now felt paltry to him after the auction.

He was carefree and unconstrained here, but over where Song Yi was, he was being attacked by several people, among them Ling Xiao, causing Song Yi to roar repeatedly.

”Too weak.”

Su Han arrived, shaking his head as he spoke.

”Haha, indeed too weak!”

Ling Xiao laughed heartily and said, ”Compared to Brother Su’s freakish strength, Song Yi is really nothing, but one must admit that among the peaks of the Dragon God Realm, he indeed has few rivals.”

”I am not speaking of him; I am speaking of you.”

Su Han shook his head, the words causing Ling Xiao to pause.

”Me?”

”Yes, you,” Su Han nodded.

Ling Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly as he feigned nervousness and said, ”Brother Su, you aren’t planning to make a move on me too, are you?”

Su Han cracked a slight smile and pointed at Song Yi, ”Join the Phoenix Sect, and I will immediately grant you the power to instantly kill him. How about that?”

”Instantly kill Song Yi?”

Ling Xiao froze again, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, ”Brother Su, you overestimate me. I am well aware of my own capabilities. Although I have some talent, not to mention instantly killing Song Yi, even defeating him would be extremely difficult.”

”I am not overestimating you, nor am I deceiving you. The choice is yours to make,” Su Han said.

Ling Xiao fell silent, withdrew from the battle, and stared at Su Han, ”Why do you want me to join the Phoenix Sect? Or should I say... What makes you think the Phoenix Sect is worthy of me joining?”

Su Han pondered for a moment, then said, ”Within three years, I will have you break through to the Dragon Emperor Realm.”

”What?!”

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened, his heart churned like turbulent waves, in disbelief.

”I have no proof, but I will not lie to you,” Su Han added.

After a long contemplation, Ling Xiao finally said, ”Let’s forget it. The Ling Family has been good to me, and if this reached my father’s ears, I believe he wouldn’t agree.”

”Years ago, I intended to take someone as my disciple, but he did not agree. Today, he regrets it,” Su Han said.

He was naturally talking about Yang Lin.

Although Yang Lin didn’t say it outright, inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, he had once stood outside Su Han’s valley for a long time, but Su Han ultimately did not emerge.

Years ago, Yang Lin was one of the few people Su Han met who possessed Mage talent, prompting him to extend an invitation to take him as a disciple.

But at the time, Yang Lin felt that he was on an equal footing with Su Han. Why should Su Han take him as a disciple?

As time passed, the years bore witness to Yang Lin’s initial skepticism and disdain.

Today’s Ling Xiao was just like the Yang Lin of the past, except Yang Lin’s Mage talent was only moderate, whereas Ling Xiao, a combination of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body and the Daytime Celestial Body, was truly frightening. Su Han truly did not want to miss this opportunity.

This person, once nurtured, would become an indescribably formidable warrior. Of all the geniuses Su Han had seen in his two lifetimes, only Long Lie could compare to him.

”You mean I might also regret it later?” Ling Xiao furrowed his brows.

”Not might regret, you will definitely regret,” Su Han replied.

Su Han’s gaze swept over Liuyun and the others, ”Years ago, our sect was obscure, merely a Dragon Vein Realm, but today, our sect can sweep across any of the Dragon God Realm. Years ago, the Phoenix Sect was a Ninth-Rate Sect, but today, thanks to One Slash Palace’s endorsement, it has become a First-Class Sect, teeming with those of the Dragon God Realm.”

”All of this, our sect achieved in just a few years,” Su Han said with a deep look at Ling Xiao.

”I don’t understand, why do you insist on me joining the Phoenix Sect? Because I am from the Ling Family? Do you think with my joining, the Ling Family would help you, becoming yet another strong pillar for the Phoenix Sect?” Ling Xiao spoke bluntly, his words harsh but hitting the nail on the head, showing no contempt for the Phoenix Sect.

”The Ling Family? Haha...”

Su Han suddenly burst out laughing, ”You speak harshly, and I won’t beat around the bush with you. Let me tell you, in my eyes, the Ling Family is nothing!”

”The heritage of the Thirteen Families is not as simple as you think,” Ling Xiao remarked.

”Heritage? Can your Thirteen Families stand against One Slash Palace?” Su Han asked.

Ling Xiao paused, then fell silent.

It had to be admitted, the status of One Slash Palace was indeed supreme, and its heritage was immensely terrifying.

”The reason I value you is because of your two special body constitutions. These two constitutions, one called the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body, and the other called the Daytime Celestial Body, once activated, will make your Cultivation Base increase at an incomparable speed. On this entire Dragon Martial Continent, you will be the number one genius, and even in the starry sky, you could rank in the top ten, maybe even the top three!”

Su Han fixed his eyes on Ling Xiao, his voice grave, ”And these two body constitifications are the reasons you can advance to the Dragon Emperor Realm in the next three years, and only I can activate them!”
