Answering the Heroic Post, Offending the Yu Family
The next day, when Su Zhan went to see the man with his letter of recommendation, he was utterly astonished.
He knew the Moon Worship Tribe was famous and would attract many people, but he never expected there to be so many!
Everywhere you look, there are people of all ages and builds, from the plump to the slender; the world is never short of geniuses and the strong.
But perhaps such people just lack that one opportunity to rise to prominence. Now that the opportunity is in front of them, who wouldn't want to give it a try!
Geniuses are all ambitious; they don't care about the position of an Ordinary Grade Retainer, they only think about rising to the top in one fell swoop.
If you succeed, you can receive offerings here from now on and skip half a lifetime of struggle.
Su Zhan clicked his tongue. It seemed the competition here was stronger than he had imagined. He wasn't really confident, since he had never done anything like this before.
However, his life motto is that he should try every opportunity he has.
If this succeeds, he can easily infiltrate; if it fails, at worst he won't be able to get in.
There will definitely be opportunities to become an Ordinary Grade Retainer later. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is hard to come by again if you miss it.
Since he's caught up with it, it's like God is giving him a helping hand; if he didn't dare to accept it, he'd be a coward.
Su Zhan looked at the queue ahead and joined it.
There were already enough people, and as time went on, the queue grew longer and longer until he couldn't see the end of it.
Some of the newcomers sighed at the long queue and went back.
Some, relying on their strength and reputation in the martial arts world, have become accustomed to arrogance.
Su Zhan encountered such a person, a fat man with a bloated belly, who said to Su Zhan that he wanted to cut in line in front of Su Zhan.
Su Zhan ignored him and didn't move. The man said impatiently, "Didn't you hear what I said? Move aside, or you'll regret it!"
Su Zhan seemed to have finally heard him, looked down at him, sizing him up and down with his Pearl, chuckled, and still didn't move.
The fat man seemed surprised that Su Zhan dared to treat him like this.
He said angrily, "Do you know who I am? You know the Haixing Yu Family, right? I am the Yu Family’s eldest legitimate son! If you dare to mess with me, you are messing with the entire Yu Family."
Su Zhan shook his head and said honestly, "Never heard of it."
The fat man was furious at his blatant disrespect. "Where did you come from? You don't even know me and you dare to hang around here! You're probably some bumpkin from some backwater."
What he said makes a lot of sense. Su Zhan comes from Dragon Martial, which is indeed considered an unorthodox path in the eyes of these large clans.
Su Zhan's strength is no weaker than theirs, and his reputation is actually quite good, but unfortunately, not many people know him.
The fact that he broke the Tower Climbing Record back then, shocking the entire world, is the best proof of that.
These people had only heard of records being broken, but never imagined they would have the chance to witness it in their lifetime. They knew that those people were not on the same level as them.
Su Zhan looked at this person and felt annoyed; he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
An elderly man behind him in line whispered to him, "Young man, please make way. It's no big deal to be a little late. You can't afford to offend this man. Letting him go will give this young master more options in the future."
Su Zhan knew the man meant well and didn't argue with him, but not wanting to be taken advantage of, he said directly, "I was here first, so I'll stay right here. I don't care if you cut in line, but there's probably not enough room for you in front of me!"
When everyone heard Su Zhan mock the fat man's physique, they were both shocked and wanted to laugh. They tried desperately to hold it in, but their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
The fat man roared, "Fine! You... you dare to provoke me like this!"
He pulled something out of his pocket and threw it at Su Zhan. Su Zhan was quick-witted and didn't even see what it was before a Space Barrier popped up, deflecting the object.
The fat man, terrified at the sight of the object bouncing towards him, fled in a panic, but it was too late. The object landed in a cloud of dust.
It's like a bomb, but many times stronger than an Ordinary Grade bomb. This is a bomb designed for powerful cultivators like them; it's incomparable to things used against Ordinary Grade.
The commotion and energy generated by this thing far exceeded Su Zhan's imagination!
As expected, wealthy and powerful families are indeed rich; they can casually throw away such treasures.
He had thought the fat man would be seriously injured, or perhaps even blown to bits.
But when everything had cleared up, they saw the fat man inside. Although he looked disheveled, he was still standing upright, as if nothing had happened.
Su Zhan was surprised, not expecting him to be so strong. Then he saw the man release his grip, revealing a broken Compass in his hand.
Staring at Su Zhan with venomous eyes, she said, "Fine, you've wasted two of my treasures today and left me in this state. I absolutely won't let you get away with this."
Seeing what he was holding, Su Zhan realized that it wasn't that he was particularly capable, but rather that he possessed a lot of valuable items.
It had thrown one to attack itself earlier, and now it found another to defend itself; otherwise, it would have been dead long ago.
He probably knows now that Su Zhan is not someone to be trifled with, and he left in a huff, uttering some harsh words before he left.
Judging from his disheveled appearance, he probably won't come to register today, but he'll probably come back sometime.
Su Zhan felt disgusted. Why did he keep seeing these things wherever he went, only adding to his troubles every day?
The old man behind Su Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that young hero, despite his young age, would possess such formidable strength. No wonder you dared to register here!"
"I admire your courage, but you were still impulsive. Although that person was not strong himself, he had a powerful backer and was the eldest son in his family."
"He's extremely spoiled; his family has always treated him like a precious son. Now that you've offended him, they'll definitely come after you for revenge."
Su Zhan waved his hand and said, "Let him come if he wants, I'm not afraid of him." Does having too many lice make you itch? He has countless enemies now.
Even after being thoroughly humiliated by the Drum Tribe, one of the Three Great Clans, we weren't afraid. Why would we be afraid of them?
The old man shook his head, looking disappointed. "I know you think you're strong enough not to be afraid of them. But don't forget, you can't be on guard against thieves forever. They're hiding in the shadows, and you're in the open. It's better to avoid trouble."
Su Zhan stopped talking and silently waited in line for his number to be called; there were simply too many people signing up.
The first few groups went in in waves of 10, and they were cleared out very quickly, but the team was still moving forward very slowly.
Su Zhan couldn't help but feel anxious and worried. If someone among so many people solved the problem before him, he would lose his chance.
The longer he waited, the more anxious he became, but there was no use in being anxious. He could only watch helplessly as he waited in line for a long time before it was finally his turn.
The person in front called out, "Number 1139."
Upon hearing his number, Su Zhan hurried over.
