I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos - Chapter 202: Spring Blossom Pavilion

Just when Ye Kuang was feeling fearful, Su Zhan also noticed him.

“Ye Kuang, it seems you really hate me. How about you give it a try?” Su Zhan stood on the arena, his gaze fixed on Ye Kuang, “If you defeat me, you will be the Holy Son!”

“I…”

Ye Kuang’s pupils contracted, his voice trembling, “I dare not. Senior Brother Su’s might is unrivaled. I would never dare to show any disrespect to Senior Brother Su!”

“You won’t know if you don’t try. Maybe you’re stronger than you think!” Su Zhan encouraged.

Ye Kuang was so frightened that his body trembled, and he was close to tears.

Compete with this abnormal guy? Isn’t that the same as seeking death???

“No, no, no! It was my mind playing tricks on me before, that’s why I said those things. In front of Senior Brother Su—”

Su Zhan smiled, “You finally admit you’re mentally challenged!”

“I… Pff!” A surge of qi and blood accumulated in Ye Kuang’s heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly full of anger and hatred, but on the surface, he could only force a smile that looked extremely ugly, “Yes, yes, Senior Brother Su is right…”

“Never mind, why am I bothering to talk so much to someone mentally challenged.” Su Zhan shook his head, leaping from the arena to the stone platform where Tang Wujian was.

“Su Zhan, your swordsmanship has become much more powerful than a few days ago!” Tang Wujian wore a smile, “Defeating Lin Dao with a single sword strike, today you’ve truly surprised me!”

Su Zhan said, “Master, I didn’t expect Lin Dao to be so weak. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat him with a single sword strike!”

Lin Dao, weak?

If these words were spoken by a Saint or a Saint King, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise.

The problem is, when they come from a Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation.

Mo Wentian and the other Saint King Elders felt a strange sensation in their hearts. But upon closer thought, Lin Dao was defeated by Su Zhan with a single sword strike. So, it didn’t seem problematic for Su Zhan to say that?

A Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation defeating the universally recognized number one below the Saint Realm, Lin Dao… This Su Zhan guy is really quite abnormal! The Saint Kings all had this thought in their minds.

Tang Wujian was also somewhat speechless. Soon after, he appeared confused, “Su Zhan, didn’t I tell you not to engage Lin Dao head-on? Why did you still end up directly clashing swords with him?”

“Master, I was just trying it out. If one sword wasn’t effective, I would have had to change tactics!” Su Zhan sighed, “I didn’t expect him to be unable to withstand even a single sword. Master, your advice isn’t very reliable, it seems.”

“I…” Tang Wujian was momentarily at a loss for words.

I didn’t expect your swordsmanship to improve so much in just a few days!

“It was a momentary lapse in judgment on my part. But Su Zhan, what’s your other strategy? Do you know formations and charms or something?” Tang Wujian was curious.

“If one sword doesn’t work, then I’ll use two swords! If two swords don’t work, I’ll use three swords! If three swords don’t work, I’ll use four swords! I’ll keep cycling through like that. Isn’t that enough?” Su Zhan was puzzled, “Master, why do you always ask me such simple questions? Even though you’re getting old, you should learn to think more for yourself…”

“Alright, let’s not talk about that. Let’s move on!” Tang Wujian felt a surge of pent-up qi and blood in his heart. He quickly changed the topic, “Su Zhan, now that you’ve become the Holy Son, choose the mountain peak that belongs to you quickly!”

Any Holy Son could choose a mountain peak with rich spiritual energy as their cave abode. Of course, building a cave abode on a new mountain peak would take some time. Also, the mountain peaks with concentrated spiritual energy and favorable locations had mostly been chosen by previous Holy Sons. Su Zhan could also choose one of the mountain peaks left behind.

Holy Sons can each have their own mountain peak?

Su Zhan was a bit surprised and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll choose one that’s already been established.”

Building a good cave abode would take quite some time. He wasn’t in a hurry.

Moreover, the caves within the Holy Land were places he had stayed before. They were equipped with automatic cleaning arrays, ensuring there would be no dust or cobwebs. There would be no traces left behind by the previous occupants. As soon as they were vacant, they would be thoroughly refurbished. So, they were practically no different from new cave abodes.

Furthermore, even though the Heavenly Profound Holy Land had been founded for over ten thousand years, there were only ten mountain peaks reserved for the Holy Son’s residence.

The reasons were simple: these ten peaks had excellent locations, splendid scenery, rich spiritual energy, and features like spiritual springs. Other peaks couldn’t compare. Since that was the case, there was no need to select a new one from those mountain peaks with poorer environments.

Upon hearing Su Zhan’s response, Tang Wujian nodded, “Alright, I’ll take you to the General Affairs Office to make your selection.”

After saying goodbye to the Holy Master Mo Wentian, he took Su Zhan away.

“This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence! Elder Tang is so lucky to have such a disciple!”

“If Su Zhan were my disciple, I’d be willing to live ten years less!”

“We Saint Kings have lifespans of thousands of years, and you’re only talking about ten years? If I could have such a genius as my disciple, I’d willingly give up a hundred years of life!”

“Sigh! Since Su Zhan is gone, let’s disperse too. There’s no point in discussing this further!”

The Saint Kings sighed with emotion and left one after another.

The Holy Master, Mo Wentian, looked in the direction Su Zhan had left, sighed, and then left the battle peak. Although he already had two Holy Sons under his tutelage, the combined presence of the two of them still couldn’t match Su Zhan…

“It’s over… Today was so worth it!”

“A single sword defeated Lin Dao. I wonder how earth-shattering Senior Brother Su’s Holy Son Ceremony will be!”

“The Holy Son Ceremony will be presided over by ten Saint Kings, forcibly extracting a bit of the heaven and earth’s luck for the Holy Son. The last Holy Son Ceremony was a hundred years ago!”

“I wasn’t even a disciple during the last Holy Son Ceremony. This time, I’ll finally get to witness it!”

…

The core disciples discussed with excitement and left, still immersed in the experience.

“From now on… Su Zhan will be the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.”

Muttering to himself, Ye Kuang’s face was filled with bitterness.

At this point, he no longer had any intention of killing Su Zhan. He was left with regret, remorse, and a sense of loss.

Now that Su Zhan had become a Holy Son, he couldn’t harm him anymore. Even the ancestor of their Ye family, a Saint King, wouldn’t dare to take action against the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. The consequences of forcefully intervening were clear. It would simply reduce the four major families of the Tianxuan Empire to three.

Sighing, Ye Kuang left in a daze.

…

Within the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Inside a seven-story tower built against a large cliff.

Su Zhan was on the seventh floor, standing before a massive screen that displayed the images and descriptions of the cave abodes on various mountain peaks of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Beside him, a Saint realm-level elder stood with a respectful posture, introducing the cave abodes to Su Zhan.

“This is the Linhai Peak. It’s near a huge lake where spiritual birds often appear. The scenery is extremely beautiful. The main cave abode on the Linhai Peak covers an area of about five square miles.”

“Throughout the Linhai Peak, we’ve built a spiritual beast garden, a flower-viewing garden, and, by the way, there’s even a Spring Blossom Pavilion specifically for dual cultivation with women!”

“What?”

Su Zhan was somewhat shocked, “The cave abodes for your Holy Sons here also come with these kinds of facilities? Are you saying you provide various styles of women for dual cultivation?”
