A Sensational Debut!

As Su Wuyan's voice fell, he threw a fierce punch, the wind howling around it. This punch carried nearly two thousand pounds of force.

Su Wuyan's cultivation had actually neared Qi Condensation, Second Layer!

"He's attacking."

The surrounding crowd was greatly shocked.

Some even took delight in his misfortune.

Everyone in Great Flame City knew that Su Hao had been unable to open his sea of qi for five years and was merely at the Body Tempering Peak.

Meanwhile, Su Wuyan was close to Qi Condensation, Second Layer. With two thousand pounds of force behind a punch, one strike would leave Su Hao as miserable as a dog.

"What an ungrateful wretch." The First Elder sneered darkly to himself, a cold smile curling at his lips. In his eyes, Su Hao was finished. That punch would take half his life.

"Look carefully. Are you a cripple or not?" Su Wuyan gave a cold smile, victory already in his grasp. He showed no mercy with this punch, intending to leave Su Hao unable to rise and utterly humiliate him before everyone.

But!

"Who do you say is a cripple?"

Su Hao shot back, stepping forward as he drove his fist straight ahead.

Su Hao actually dared to fight back.

"He's simply courting death!"

Everyone thought the same. The Body Tempering Peak and Qi Condensation, Second Layer were separated by a gulf in quality. Meeting that punch head-on, Su Hao would be crippled outright.

But!

Bang!

The two fists collided, and the air exploded between them.

One body staggered and flew backward.

The entire crowd was stunned!

The one sent flying was Su Wuyan!

Su Hao had won!

Not only that, Su Hao's expression did not change after that punch. He stepped down, moving with astonishing speed as he caught up to Su Wuyan and roared, "Who did you call a cripple?"

His second punch came crashing down!

Crack!

Su Wuyan's nasal bone shattered. Blood sprayed out as he let out a heart-rending scream, shrill as a pig being slaughtered.

Everyone around them stood dumbstruck, every pair of eyes wide open. The famed cripple of Great Flame City was actually chasing after a Qi Condensation, Second Layer cultivator and beating him senseless.

Could it be that Su Hao had regained his cultivation? Had the dashing, high-spirited genius youth from five years ago returned?

The First Elder's eyes widened as well, as though he had seen a ghost. This had utterly exceeded his expectations.

Others did not know, but he knew perfectly well.

Even if Su Hao had survived, he should have become a cripple. For five years, the First Elder had laced his meals with slow-acting poison, which had seeped completely into his bones, meridians, and dantian.

This poison had no cure. His eldest son had brought it back from an immortal sect.

Su Hao should have become a cripple beyond all doubt.

Why had his cultivation reappeared now?

"Stop!"

After Su Hao's third punch landed, the First Elder finally spoke. If he remained silent any longer, his second son would be beaten to death alive.

At once, he violently swept his sleeve. A sinister chill spread outward, forming an evil ice serpent that slammed fiercely toward Su Hao.

It moved like lightning!

This was a first-grade spell, the Ice Dragon Poison Blood Art!

Once struck by this technique, the icy poison would enter the body and burrow into the blood. Under extreme torment, the victim would be frozen to death from the inside out!

Su Hao also sensed a terrifying crisis. His thoughts raced, and he reacted beyond all expectation. As his foot came down, a spiral of wind formed beneath it, carrying him away at high speed.

The ice dragon howled past his body, freezing a wall until it cracked apart.

That had been far too close!

The entire crowd was shaken once more. Some nearly collapsed on the spot. Not only had Su Hao recovered his cultivation, he had even mastered a spell and evaded Su Yuanba's attack at Qi Condensation, Fourth Layer.

Spells were divine arts of immortals, something ordinary families found difficult to possess. Even the Su Family, one of the three great families of Great Flame City, had only three first-grade spells passed down through its lineage.

Moreover, they were exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Without talent, one could not comprehend even one ten-thousandth of them.

Thus, when Su Hao displayed the first-grade Gale Art, the surrounding crowd was so stunned that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

They were now completely certain that Su Hao's talent had truly returned.

A peerless genius had awakened once more!

Su Hao secretly wiped away a cold sweat. "Good thing I found a low-grade spell within the inheritance in my mind and studied it on the way back. Otherwise, things would have been dangerous just now."

Su Hao possessed an Innate Dao Body, making him incomparably close to the Dao. Furthermore, he had received the supreme inheritance of an Immortal Emperor. His comprehension was monstrous, so a first-grade spell posed not the slightest difficulty to him.

The First Elder's eyes widened, bloodshot veins filling them as murderous intent suddenly flashed within them!

Su Hao was far too extraordinary. Leaving him alive would bring disaster, so he had to be killed.

With a flash of his body, he prepared to strike again.

Su Hao narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. A black ball of light appeared in his palm. This was a reversal technique from the Devil Lord's inheritance, capable of allowing Su Hao to unleash several times his own strength.

Yu'er was here, and no matter what, he had to come back. Naturally, he had also prepared himself: if the First Elder attacked, he would kill him on the spot today!

It would be a fight to the death!

But!

Bang!

The instant the First Elder moved, he was sent flying backward. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and he was severely injured at once.

An aged figure appeared before him and said coldly, "Insolence! Do you intend to murder the clan head?"

"Yuanba would not dare." The First Elder's expression changed drastically, and he immediately lowered his head.

This old man was the Su Family's sole Supreme Elder. His cultivation was terrifying, having reached Qi Condensation, Fifth Layer. Even in Great Flame City, he was one of the foremost experts.

Within the Su Family, the Supreme Elder's prestige was boundless. Though the First Elder had served as acting clan head for five years, with a single word from the Supreme Elder, he was worth less than dog shit.

Su Jingshan gave a cold snort and looked at Su Hao. If Su Hao had remained as he once was, he naturally would not have interfered. He did not care in the least whether a cripple lived or died.

But Su Hao had already displayed the strength of Qi Condensation, Second Layer and evaded the First Elder's killing blow. This youth was extraordinary; his former talent had returned.

Once he grew, he could become the Su Family's main pillar, leading the Su Family to ever greater strength.

"The clan head's talent has recovered. From this day onward, he may preside over the Su Family's affairs. Su Yuanba's position as acting clan head is stripped from him completely as of today." Su Jingshan spoke indifferently, then looked once more at Su Hao. A faint smile appeared on his aged face as he said, "Clan Head, please take your seat."

Su Hao was surprised. In the past, the Supreme Elder had regarded him with little favor. Though he had not casually beaten or cursed him like the others, he had been too lazy to pay him any attention.

Yet today, he had actually stepped forward to uphold justice for him?

That's right. He must have seen my potential. In the future, I can become an expert, which will be of absolute benefit to the Su Family. With that thought, Su Hao understood.

He immediately strode forward. As he passed the Supreme Elder, he whispered, "Old man, the poison in you is no minor matter. Come to my room afterward, and I'll help you find a solution."

Su Jingshan's entire body shook as he abruptly raised his head!

He had been poisoned by a potent toxin, which had prevented his cultivation from advancing. No one in the Su Family knew of this. How had Su Hao seen through it?

And he said he had a way to treat him?
