Chapter 2: New Halo Unlocked
"One, one hundred trillion!"
Su Zhan was completely dumbfounded. A Protagonist Halo can only cover so much ground, but he has one hundred trillion! This is just ridiculous, isn't it???
But why are all the Halos on the panel gray? Only the Cultiation Halo is lit up?
When Su Zhan was just thinking about this in his mind, the system's voice sounded again.
【 Upon the initial activation of the system, the "Protagonist Cultivation Halo" will be awarded. The remaining Halos need to be unlocked after completing achievement tasks! 】
【 "Protagonist Cultivation Halo" : Cultivation bottleneck? Nonexistent! As a protagonist, cultivating is a trivial matter that should be as easy and natural as eating, drinking, and sleeping! 】
After reading the introduction of the Cultivation Halo, Su Zhan curiously asked, "What are the achievement tasks?"
【 Achievement tasks are randomly triggered, and it is possible for the host to complete an achievement task just by taking a sip of water! 】
"Then how do I use the Protagonist Halo?"
【 The host only needs to open the Halo Panel and select the Halo. The more Halos that are opened, the weaker the relative effectiveness of each individual Halo. 】
After asking a few questions, Su Zhan had a better understanding of his system.
"Young Master Su Zhan, why aren't you leaving yet?"
The servant sneered, "Could it be that you're afraid of the people from the three major families, your legs trembling, and you can't walk?"
Su Zhan glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he called up the Halo Panel and chose the Protagonist Cultivation Halo without hesitation.
【 Ding! The Protagonist Cultivation Halo has been activated! 】
Su Zhan slightly circulated his True Qi, and the True Qi stored in his body unexpectedly went into a frenzy. At the same time, the incompletely refined Sacred Lotus power also had a violent reaction with the True Qi, raging through his body!
Su Zhan was alarmed. If this continued, his body would be shattered by these forces! This is supposed to be a Protagonist Halo? Isn't it going to kill him??
Suddenly, Su Zhan felt a warm sensation in his body. The True Qi that was going wild unexpectedly cleared a blocked meridian.
And then, a second, a third…
Ten seconds later, all of Su Zhan's meridians that had been blocked for no apparent reason were unexpectedly opened.
At the same time, his cultivation skyrocketed. The powerful medicinal properties of the spiritual herbs that had accumulated in his body for years and the immense medicinal properties of the Sacred Lotus were both maximally integrated into his body, transforming into powerful True Qi that broke through one barrier after another.
Fifth Level of the Meridian Opening Realm!
Sixth Level of the Meridian Opening Realm!
…
Ninth Level of the Meridian Opening Realm!
Early stage of the Qi Sea Realm!
Breaking through six realms in a row!
At the lower abdomen, True Qi gathered together, forming a white True Qi that condensed into a sea of Qi. The growth of his cultivation level had not yet stopped. The remaining medicinal power of the Sacred Lotus was nearly exhausted, and his cultivation level directly reached the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
"This, this is possible???" Su Zhan was somewhat stunned.
After a while, he came back to his senses with a face full of joy.
This Protagonist Halo is really amazing!
At this time, even the servant felt the change in Su Zhan's body, and his face changed slightly. He hesitated and said, "You… you broke through to the Fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm?"
"Fifth level?"
Su Zhan sneered, walked up to the servant, and slapped him directly in the face…
"Smack!"
The servant's body was thrown back and fell to the ground. Five clear finger marks appeared on one side of his cheek, and he spat out two teeth stained with blood as he opened his mouth.
"You! How dare you hit me! Do you know–"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Zhan had already stepped on his face.
"I know you're Su Heng's dog. I've been lenient with you guys before, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. If there's a next time, I'll smash your mouth. Do you understand?"
"I, I understand! Young Master, spare me, spare me!" Feeling Su Zhan's firm attitude and strength, the servant's anger was replaced by fear, and he begged for mercy.
"Get back to your master and tell him to take care of his dogs and not to bother people everywhere!"
"Yes, yes!" The servant trembled with fear.
"Get out!"
With a kick, the servant was sent flying four or five meters away. Su Zhan then turned and headed for the main hall.
…
Not long after, he arrived at the main hall. Besides Su Tianhai, the current head of the Su family, there were three Qi Sea Realm martial artists from the other three major families in Azure City.
"Dad." Su Zhan walked up to Su Tianhai and greeted him.
"Zhan'er, you've come. These three are elders from the three major families who have come to congratulate you on your birthday in advance."
"If it's to congratulate me in advance, then where are the gifts?" Su Zhan looked at the three people and exclaimed, "Is it possible that the three major families have become so poor that they can't even come up with a decent birthday gift?"
"You!"
"You arrogant brat!"
"A mere junior who doesn't know the etiquette, speaking recklessly!"
The people from the three major families immediately became angry.
Su Tianhai frowned and said, "Alright, my son is here. What do you want to say?"
"Patriarch Su, I'll just come straight to the point. The Sacred Lotus is a rare and precious treasure of the heavens and the earth. If it is given to our Zhao family's genius to consume, he can break through to the Qi Sea Realm within three days! Su Zhan, a person with inferior talent, has wasted such a precious item. Patriarch Su, as his father, don't you owe us Zhao family an explanation?"
"What Brother Zhao said is also what my Chen family thinks."
"Our Li family is the same."
The three elders from the major families stared at Su Zhan and spoke one after another.
Su Tianhai said coldly, "A precious treasure of the heavens and the earth, belongs to those who have the fate for it!"
"That's true, but since the person who has the fate for it is a useless person, why waste it for nothing?" one of the elders said.
"You're right. If Su Heng of your Su family had obtained the Sacred Lotus, then we would have nothing to say!" another elder chimed in.
"That's right. Since Su Zhan has wasted the treasure that should have originally belonged to all four major families, Patriarch Su, you should give us an explanation!" the three elders pressured.
Among the four major families in Azure City, Su family was originally the weakest, but now because of the Sacred Lotus, the three families temporarily united and became even more arrogant.
Just as Su Tianhai's face turned ugly and he didn't know what to do, Su Zhan spoke up.
"One mouthful after another. If I, Su Zhan, were to obtain the Sacred Lotus and waste it, then you people from the three major families are even more unworthy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of mid stage Qi Sea Realm erupted from Su Zhan's body!
"How is this possible! He was clearly only at the fourth level of Meridian Opening Realm! Even if he was lucky enough to refine the Sacred Lotus, it would still be impossible to reach the mid stage of the Qi Sea Realm!"
"From the fourth level of Meridian Opening to the mid stage Qi Sea Realm, this is absolutely impossible! Did he hide his cultivation level before?"
"Even our Zhao family's most outstanding genius could not use the Sacred Lotus to breakthrough to the mid-level of the Qi Sea Realm!"
The elders of the three major families were all shocked and exclaimed in disbelief.
Su Zhan shook his head and said, "That's because you people from the three major families are too useless."
A palpable tension swept through the main hall as the elders of the three major families wore visibly grim expressions.
Today they had originally intended to threaten the Su family and reap some profits, but they didn't expect that the useless Su Zhan would suddenly become a genius, and instead it was their three major families that were being humiliated.
Moreover, he was not even sixteen years old yet, and he was already at the mid stage of the Qi Sea… If this kind of genius were to grow up, the Azure City would have nothing to do with their three major families.
No, this child must be eliminated!
Zhao family elder calmly said, "Patriarch Su, three days from now, we will bring gifts to congratulate you!" After speaking, he turned and left, followed closely by the other two elders of the major families.
Looking at the three elders who fled in embarrassment, Su Zhan sat down contentedly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
At this moment, a system message appeared in his mind.
【 Ding! Completed the achievement mission ‘First Show of Strength', unlocked new Halo: [Protagonist Comprehension Halo]! 】
