Getting into a fight!

It's me," Su Han acknowledged, a grin spreading across his face.

He didn't recognize the woman standing before him, but he remembered meeting her once before - a moment in time when he had saved her life. It was none other than 'Su Han' of the notorious Su family who had rescued her from the clutches of death after she accidentally fell into the river during his riverside training session.

Their interaction had been brief; Su Han had departed immediately after saving her life. Fate, however, had other plans, reuniting them once again at this very spot.

"You're here too!" she exclaimed with delight as she sprinted towards him. Her eyes sparkled with energy and her slender figure exuded a captivating aura. But underneath the surface, her complexion seemed pale and void of any sign of cultivation. It was apparent that she was an ordinary person who had not yet embarked on any spiritual training.

"I'm here to buy something," Su Han replied, his smile undeterred.

"Hee hee, I've been searching for you for so long and now I've finally found you!" the girl giggled.

At that moment, Chen Yi and Lin Heng entered the scene with venomous glares fixated on Su Han.

Chen Yi sneered condescendingly: "Oh, beautiful lady, you must not know him well yet. Allow me to reveal his true identity – this infamous scum from one of the four major families in Yuanshan County is none other than the pathetic Su Han!"

Lin Heng joined in with a scornful laugh: "Hmph! Su Han, even as the useless waste that you are now, how dare you show your face beyond your family's walls? Be warned– this land will soon belong to our Lin and Chen families! If we ever catch sight of you here again..."

"Really?" Su Han blankly shook his head.

Infuriated, Chen Yi bellowed: "You insolent fool! You, who once possessed the potential for greatness with your eight dragon veins, only to foolishly destroy all that you had out of impatience! Admit it – you must regret it bitterly and wish to perish every single day!"

However, their attempts to mock and provoke Su Han were useless. For if he were still the pitiful 'Su Han' of the Su family, he might have succumbed to their cruel taunts and chosen to end his life. But not this time.

"Terrible breath," Su Han retorted nonchalantly, waving a hand in front of his nose. "It's as if someone just vomited a steaming pile of filth right in front of me."

The girl could not suppress her laughter. She detested Chen Yi and Lin Heng, but she found herself growing fonder of Su Han by the minute.

"You despicable, contemptible, low-life scum!" Chen Yi seethed, his eyes blazing with fury. "How dare you, Su Han, you worthless excuse for a human being, speak to us in such a manner? Your family, the Su family, will be eradicated from Yuanshan County in no time, mark my words!"

Lin Heng's expression darkened as he sternly spoke, "Su Han, we never meant to harm you. After all, you're already a cripple and of no use. But you have the audacity to speak to us like this? If you do not wish for a beating today, there's only one path – kneel before us!"

"Kneel!" Chen Yi chimed in with a malicious smirk.

Having the girl they were pursuing watching them, they couldn't afford to be humiliated by Su Han. 

But Su Han's eyes gleamed, stating nonchalantly, "Many have wanted me to kneel in my life, but they..."

"They're all dead now."

The two men burst into uproarious laughter, believing that Su Han had lost his mind completely.

Just as Chen Yi began to speak again, a blur appeared before him – Su Han's refined face suddenly dominating his view.

Momentarily alarmed, Chen Yi tried to pull back.

However, his reflexes were too slow. A hand instantly latched onto his neck and roughly hoisted him into the air.

"Young Master!"

"Release my son!"

"Su Han you fool, are you seeking your own death?"

The expressions of Chen Yi's entourage swiftly changed as they rushed towards the scene.

Despite their impressive range of abilities, even the highest-ranking among them was just in the middle stage of Dragon Blood Realm. They were like mere ants compared to Su Han.

Contemptuous, Su Han ignored their presence and continued to menace Chen Yi. "Feeling cocky now?"

With his airway constricted, a reddening-faced Chen Yi struggled for breath and coughed violently.

Lin Heng interjected with a menacing warning: "Su Han! Realize whom you hold! That's the son of the Chen family patriarch—Chen Feng's little brother! Surely you've heard of him?! Chen Feng, in a matter of days, will become an inner disciple of the Cold Cloud Sect! Lay one finger on Chen Yi, and you're dooming your entire Su family!"

Su Han spared Lin Heng a brief glance before abruptly tossing Chen Yi aside.

Chen Yi spiraled directly towards Lin Heng, who was stronger than him with four dragon veins. Intending to catch Chen Yi mid-flight, Lin Heng was caught off guard when his arms were suddenly wracked with excruciating pain.

"Crack!"

The sickening sound of bones shattering echoed through the room.

"AAAHHH!" 

Lin Heng's desperate screams rang through the Wanbao Pavilion, as if trying to rupture its very foundations.

Despite Lin Heng's mediocre talent within the Lin family hierarchy, he held a position of privilege as the son of the family leader, often using his status to assert dominance. Yet, here he was now—wounded and vulnerable.

"My arm, my arm!" Lin Heng cried out in unbearable agony, his forehead drenched in sweat. "Su Han, you dared to break my arm! I swear you'll die for this!"

In response, Su Han's gaze turned ice-cold.

"I meant to teach you a lesson, but death is what you desire for me. How can I let a dangerous tiger like you live?" he questioned icily.

As soon as Su Han finished speaking, he lunged forward with lightning-fast speed.

"You have the audacity, Su Han?!"

"Insolent fool! This is the son of our Lin family's leader!"

Lin Heng's loyal followers quickly intervened, unleashing their full power in a desperate bid to stop Su Han.

"You alone cannot stop me," Su Han remarked calmly. However, his voice conveyed unyielding determination. As he charged forward, he unleashed a powerful double punch that sent shockwaves from the erupted force of his eight dragon veins.

"Eight dragon veins? How could you—a mere nobody—enforce such power all over again?" The onlookers were left dumbfounded by the sheer force radiating from Su Han. Even the girl standing next to them couldn't help but mutter under her breath with wide-eyed amazement: "Stinky Su Han... It appears you truly have regained your strength. Now I see why I must recruit you."

Yet suddenly, one of the burly men snorted disdainfully: "Pathetic. So what if Su Han has unlocked eight dragon veins? Today, I will still destroy your meridians and render you powerless once again." He then displayed his impressive mid-stage dragon blood realm strength, flexing his muscles menacingly, ready for the showdown of a lifetime.
