"Su Han, my dear brother, I've come to cheer you on! You must perform exceptionally well today and strive to enter the Sacred Mountain so we can live together!"
As soon as she spoke, the group of elders following behind were hit with ten thousand points of critical damage. They all looked at the scene in disbelief, like eggplants that had been frostbitten.
Several old men were even disheartened, feeling the urge to jump off a cliff!
"Damn it! Yu Ji actually has such a charming side. This is the first time I've seen it today. I'm really going to cry to death..."
"Yes, yes, I knew our Yu Ji was a kind-hearted big shot. Facing such a young man, Yu Ji has shown all sorts of care!"
"Alas... so be it, so be it. Since Yu Ji likes him, I won't pretend anymore. I will also support this young friend and help him become a generation's elder!"
"That's right, what's a mere elder position compared to a single glance from Yu Ji? I'm willing to give all my ten thousand years of cultivation to this kid, to help him become a generation's powerhouse!"
For a moment, Su Han was also a bit bewildered. He never expected these big shots to be so fond of him by association and to all favor him, standing on his side!
With this!
His side's momentum immediately surged!
Even the Wang family's ancestor, Wang Zhi Long, in front was a bit confused. He never expected Yu Ji to know this kid, and it seemed they were very familiar with each other, as if they had lived together for a night!
"Yu Ji, how do you know this kid? I was just saying yesterday that I wanted to take this kid as my disciple. I never expected such a coincidence that you know him too?" Wang Zhi Long asked.
Yu Ji, at this moment, gracefully linked arms with Su Han and, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, slowly said, "He is my brother. This brother of mine is renowned for his exceptional talent. When I descended the mountain before, I fell for him after discovering him!"
As soon as she said this, the big shots present were all shocked!
After all, Su Han was only in his twenties, while Yu Ji had been in the Sacred Altar for thousands of years. She hadn't descended the mountain much in a thousand years, and the first person she met upon descending was Su Han!
This seemed truly peculiar. If Wang Yan Ji were here, he would surely know the whole story. It was Yu Ji who wanted to go for a drive and incidentally eliminate Su Han!
It was just a pity that after meeting Su Han, she was deeply impressed by his strength and demeanor.
Another point was that Su Han didn't seem to be very afraid of the potent poison she carried!
In the time it takes to say this, and then it was said.
After a brief commotion, the scene quieted down. After all, today's competition was extremely important for the Sacred Altar. Many people's promotions depended on this moment!
"The auspicious time has arrived. We shall begin now!"
Following the words of an elder, seven or eight shortlisted contestants immediately stepped forward!
Su Han was ranked sixth, with five people ahead of him!
The first one was extremely formidable. He was a burly monk, holding a Zen staff, looking very robust, with exaggerated muscles.
"This humble monk, Hui Yu, greets the esteemed elders. I hope the elders will show mercy!"
With that, the monk stood firmly. As he circulated his energy, golden light actually appeared on his body!
"This... is the Undying Golden Body!"
"This young monk is quite capable. He should be a tough opponent, skilled in defense!"
"Indeed, Old Xie will have to put in more effort this time."
Several elders commented. At this point, Elder Xie Hong Guo stepped forward, cupped his fists towards the surroundings, and without further ado, prepared to begin.
"Are you ready?" Xie Hong Guo asked.
The monk Hui Yu on the opposite side immediately smiled, "Yes, I am ready!"
However, the very next moment after he finished speaking, a blur of motion, as swift as lightning, approached him. With a single move, it instantly erupted with a deafening sound!
With a bang!
The sound was like striking a bronze bell. While the monk's Undying Golden Body was indeed formidable, "undying" did not mean "uninjured." At this moment, he was hit by this blow, and his entire being felt terrible.
Like a cannonball, he was sent crashing into a wall behind him. He felt his internal organs churning, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Xie Hong Guo shook his head and said, "This is just an appetizer, and you're already like this. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Alright, you didn't pass!"
After saying this, Xie Hong Guo returned to his seat!
The others were all stunned. This monk seemed quite powerful, but he ended so easily!
And the second person was even quicker!
Almost like a gust of wind, this person had already conceded...
The rest followed suit!
None could withstand a single blow. Each time an elder made a move, they could instantly kill a contestant. If they hadn't held back a little, these contestants would likely have met their demise on the spot!
It wasn't until Su Han's turn. The previous five had all been defeated!
"Su Han, be careful. This Xie Hong Guo is very powerful, and he has a nickname: the Iron-Faced Yama. He shows no mercy at all. Alas..."
Hearing Yu Ji's words, Su Han understood!
Having just witnessed Elder Xie Hong Guo's performance, he could say that this big shot's strength was extremely high, though still a notch below the Wang family ancestor. He was about the same level as Wang Tian Hu.
Indeed!
At this moment, the Wang family ancestor beside him shook his head and said, "Xie Hong Guo, you can skip this one. No need to compete. He can pass!"
As soon as this was said, Xie Hong Guo's brow immediately furrowed!
Simultaneously, everyone present looked towards Su Han. After all, the news that Su Han had been taken as a disciple by an elder yesterday had already spread.
Today, seeing this, it was indeed a case of nepotism!
Including those who had just lost, and Xie Hong Guo, they were all somewhat displeased!
"Ancestor, you can let this kid pass, but I also want to test this kid's skills. How about this, let him fight a match so everyone can see. Regardless of the outcome, he will be considered to have passed the assessment. Is that acceptable?"
Since the words had been spoken, the Wang family ancestor could only look at Su Han and ask for his opinion, "Kid, what do you say? If you want to fight, go ahead. If you don't want to fight, just ignore this iron-headed turtle. Damn it, he doesn't even believe my words!"
Su Han nodded at this moment!
As he walked towards the arena, Su Han saw Elder Xie Hong Guo looking at him with disdain, as if he wanted to teach this favored newcomer a lesson!
"Hello, Elder Xie. Uh... when do we start?" Su Han spoke confidently, showing no signs of nervousness. He also made no preparations, as if everything would be effortless.
Seeing this posture, Xie Hong Guo immediately let out a scoff. This kind of kid, he could take on a hundred thousand of them by himself!
