Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1409: Verifying the Numbers

Star of Heavenly Mountain, Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

”Swish swish swish...”

Figures appeared from the passage one by one, landing slowly, each with a different expression on their faces.

Some were excited, some gloomy, some worried, and some sighing.

The passage was open for a total of just two hours, with travel taking one hour alone.

This meant that those participating in the assessment had at most only an hour to spare.

So, no one would entertain the idea of letting others go first and searching later, because if they were late, they might never return.

The Savage Forest Star was not as safe as the Star of Heavenly Mountain.

Su Han’s figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight after an hour.

”It’s Su Han!”

”He’s back!”

”Phew... we can’t look at him with our usual perspective anymore, this guy was hiding his abilities too well.”

”Exactly, exactly, too true. Forcing over a hundred thousand members of the Sect of the Supreme Shadow to surrender single-handedly, such strength is terrifying!”

”Although he has not yet reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, with his enhanced overall strength, he can already contend with the First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, right?”

”Simply terrifying. I’ve never heard of anyone using Mortal Realm power to fight the Spirit Realm.”

”True Dragon, a True Dragon indeed!”

”His terrifying aptitude shattered the testing stone pillar, and his powerful strength allowed him to challenge the Spirit Realm with the Mortal Realm. Such a person might only appear once in ten thousand years?”

”From now on, his status in the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion will be higher than any other disciple’s.” 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Looking at Su Han’s appearance, the crowd below was full of sighs, and their gazes at Su Han were no longer so indifferent, but rather carried a hint of flattery.

”Senior Brother Su, their gaze towards you is no longer the same.” Huang Xuan whispered.

”Human nature is like this, I hope you’re not such a person,” Su Han said with a smile.

Huang Xuan rolled his eyes, ”Should I return these Woodcore Stones to you?”

”Just joking, look at you, taking it seriously.” Su Han shook his head with a smile.

The two of them slowly descended from the void and finally landed in front of Chen Fan.

”Junior Brother Su, Junior Brother Huang, you’re back?”

”Haha, Junior Brother Su is terrifyingly strong, forcing so many people from the Sect of the Supreme Shadow to bow their heads, finally bringing honor to our Heavenly Mountain Pavilion!”

”Although Junior Brother Huang’s strength is inadequate, his courage is unparalleled, I admire it!”

Some disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion quickly came and spoke when they saw the two return.

Huang Xuan continuously cupped hands and exchanged polite words with the senior brothers, and Su Han also smiled, nodding his head occasionally but was not as polite as Huang Xuan.

Remembering when he just arrived here, how coldly these people treated him, and looking at them now, full of smiles, to be honest, Su Han felt a bit disgusted.

But the warmth and coldness of human emotions are like this. Even if he dislikes it, he has to show politeness, after all, you shouldn’t hit someone who’s smiling.

Apparently, these people all knew about his good relationship with Huang Xuan, which is why they praised him this way. Otherwise, who knew who Huang Xuan was?

And Huang Xuan, in his heart, was also very clear about this, so he responded politely to each one.

”Do I really need to call you... Senior Brother Su?” Seeing Su Han arriving in front of him, Chen Fan spoke.

”What are you saying, Senior Brother Chen?” Su Han shook his head.

”I’m not joking with you.”

Chen Fan said seriously, ”Your aptitude has been revealed here, your strength, I have already seen it. Although you haven’t transformed the Mortal into Spirit, yet you’re much stronger than me, an Outer Sect Disciple. From now on, I really should call you Senior Brother Su.”

Chen Fan was just an Outer Sect Disciple, and in the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, most Outer Sect Disciples had not reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, merely at the Mortal Realm.

Chen Fan was at the Peak of the Mortal Realm, similar to the Peak of the Dragon God Realm.

He intended to strive to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm after receiving the rewards from the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, and by then, he could join the Netherworld King Army and no longer endure the ridicule from his elder brother.

Su Han turned around to meet Chen Fan’s gaze and, seeing that he was not joking, fell silent for a moment, then said, ”Senior Brother Chen, there’s really no need for this between us. Although I haven’t had much interaction with you, I can tell you’re not someone I dislike. Unless I become the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, you’ll always be my Senior Brother Chen, how about that?”

Chen Fan was stunned, not expecting Su Han to say something like this.

Human hearts are different, yet for the most part, they’re the same.

Many people, after their status improves, ignore or even forget those they knew before, and relationships as ordinary as between Su Han and Chen Fan are no exception.

Chen Fan couldn’t understand why Su Han favored him. Why insist on becoming friends with him?

In any regard, Su Han had no reason to do so.

But Su Han treated him as a friend, and Chen Fan was deeply moved.

”Alright then, before you become the Pavilion Master, I’ll keep calling you Junior Brother Su, haha!” Chen Fan joked, taking a deep breath.

Pavilion Master?

That’s not something easily achieved.

...

Another hour passed, and the teleportation passage in the void finally closed completely.

All those who were still alive had come out.

But now, of the previous full one million people, only... less than seven hundred thousand remained!

Over three hundred thousand people died on the Savage Forest Star.

Some died at the hands of the Sect of the Supreme Shadow, some at the hands of demon beasts, and some... at the hands of fellow members from the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

And looking at such numbers, many fell into silence.

They hadn’t felt such a huge crisis on the Savage Forest Star, at least like Huang Xuan.

But their lack of awareness didn’t mean those crises didn’t exist.

One million people, with over three hundred thousand dead, seemed excessive.

”Enough.”

Grand Elder Xiaoyaozi’s expression remained indifferent, not showing any other emotions despite the large number of deaths.

The other high-level members of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion were the same.

They had witnessed situations like this many times; more than ten thousand years ago, there was even a complete annihilation.

”The second stage of the assessment officially ends here.”

Xiaoyaozi said, ”Next, when you return to this platform, a disciple will count the number of Woodcore Stones you have obtained. The top one hundred thousand will progress to the third stage of the assessment.”

After his words fell, someone immediately rushed to the platform to submit the Woodcore Stones.

Such people generally had enough Woodcore Stones and were quite confident.

Those with fewer Woodcore Stones hesitated for a moment before finally stepping onto the platform.
