Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Xia's mother still understands her daughter very well.

At this moment, Xia Yan was naturally the happiest.

Not only had Su Chen come back, but he had also managed to mend a broken mirror back to its whole form.

Surprisingly, a look of admiration flashed across Xia's mother's eyes.

She nodded and said, "Although there's a hint of taking shortcuts, we never said you couldn't do it that way, so, consider yourself passed."

"Thank you, Auntie," Su Chen expressed his gratitude.

"No, don't get too happy just yet, I have another condition," Xia's mother spoke up.

"Auntie, please speak, if it's something I can do, I will definitely do it," Su Chen politely responded.

Su Chen's response made Xia's mother very satisfied.

After all, if it were someone else, they would definitely say that we had already agreed on just fulfilling those two conditions to let him take Xia Yan away, right?

But Su Chen didn't.

This was actually a test from Xia's mother.

All things considered, Su Chen's character had already passed Xia's mother's test.

But there was still a big problem.

She needed to know.

This was the critical point in deciding whether she was willing to let Su Chen take Xia Yan away.

That is, how much Su Chen values Xia Yan.

Or in other words, just how much Su Chen truly loves Xia Yan.

Su Chen is indeed great, but if he doesn't love Xia Yan enough, Xia's mother would not let him take Xia Yan away.

Xia's mother fell silent for a brief moment.

Finally, she spoke up: "My final condition is…"

Upon hearing Xia's mother's words, everyone gasped in shock.

Especially Xia Yan, whose emotions became somewhat agitated.

"Mom, how can you set such a condition!"

"Well, what do you think? Do you dare to do it?" Xia's mother looked at Su Chen with a somewhat provocative expression.

Su Chen's face didn't show much change as he replied, "Why wouldn't I dare."

"Good, young man, I admire you, if you can do it, I will let you take little Yan away!" Xia's mother declared.

Xia's mother's last condition was… to snatch chestnuts from the fire!

And, she specified the method herself.

This time, she wouldn't give Su Chen any chance to take shortcuts.

"Little Chen, don't!" Xia Yan kept shaking her head at Su Chen.

Su Chen wanted to take her away, just to help her out of a predicament.

If she really ended up with Su Chen.

She wouldn't bear him doing such a dangerous task.

Moreover…

Su Chen gave Xia Yan a warm smile and said, "Yan, don't worry, I can do it."

"Fool, I'm not worried about whether you can do it, I'm worried about you…" Xia Yan choked up a bit.

…

Once Su Chen decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind.

And, retrieving chestnuts from fire, although seemingly impossible to accomplish, wasn't very hard for him.

Of course, it wasn't without any difficulty.

Xia's mother's rule was to place three steel balls into blazing hot charcoal, and then Su Chen had to retrieve them.

Soon, the equipment was ready.

A basin was filled with red-hot charcoal.

And the steel balls were placed at the bottom of the basin.

There were three steel balls, each only the size of a little finger.

Just finding them would be tough, not to mention searching for them in the red-hot charcoal.

And probably those steel balls had been heated red-hot as well.

How high would that temperature be?

Just looking at those red-hot pieces of charcoal was already terrifying.

At this moment, although Yang Jiajun had still not appeared, he had secretly cracked the door open a bit to watch the situation outside.

Seeing that Su Chen was actually going to fulfill such a condition, he felt secretly satisfied inside.

Joking aside, that was red-hot charcoal.

You see, the cigarette butt alone had already made him suffer unbearably.

The temperature of the cigarette butt was high, but it quickly extinguished in his mouth.

That moment was indeed very painful, but after that, it didn't seem so painful anymore.

But charcoal is different.

It won't extinguish.

He just didn't believe that Su Chen would dare to do it.

Of course, no one else believed Su Chen would dare either.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, didn't want Su Chen to do it.

Yet, she couldn't stop Su Chen.

With a mocking look, Xia's mom watched Su Chen.

She wanted to see how far Su Chen could go?

The basin was placed on the table, and Su Chen stood in front of the table.

If he used Inner Strength to protect his body, he could retrieve the steel ball without any damage.

But that would be considered cheating.

It would also be too shocking and outrageous.

So, he could only honestly use his hand to retrieve it.

Of course, he still had to use Inner Strength to protect his body.

Otherwise, the high temperature of the charcoal could burn his entire hand to a char!

With Su Chen's abilities, completing this task was almost a sure thing.

But pain was inevitable.

And this pain was not ordinary pain.

He took a light breath, and finally, Su Chen put his hand into the glowing red charcoal.

Actually, he had secretly left a mark on the steel balls.

He could retrieve them in just three seconds.

But he couldn't do it too quickly.

He knew Xia's mom was looking for his attitude.

Not merely him completing the challenge.

Sizzle!

The moment Su Chen's hand touched the charcoal, it immediately made a sizzling sound and emitted a thick smoke.

It even gave off a scent of roasted meat.

Finally, Su Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

His tolerance for pain could be said to have reached a terrifying level.

If pain was used to torture him for confession, no pain could make him yield.

However, he still underestimated this pain.

Xia Yan was stunned, and so were Xia Yan's many aunts and uncles.

Even Xia's mom was stunned.

No one dared to imagine that Su Chen would really dare to put his hand in.

Just hearing that sizzling sound made them feel the pain.

Originally, Yang Jiajun in the room still had a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

But now, his expression of schadenfreude gradually turned into fear!

Cruel, really too cruel.

Originally, Yang Jiajun thought he had understood Su Chen's ruthlessness.

But now, seeing this scene, he realized just how ruthless this man was.

A man so cruel to himself, how about towards others?

Originally, Yang Jiajun still harbored a thought of mutual destruction.

Now, he no longer had it at all.

He totally believed the words Su Chen had said to him before.

This man…

He's really too terrifying.

"Auntie, have I completed this yet?" When Su Chen took the three glowing red steel balls out of the charcoal, his entire palm was completely blackened and emitting thick smoke.

Sweat covered his forehead as well.

This level of pain had already surpassed the limits of Ordinary People.

If it were Ordinary People, they would have fainted already.

Only Su Chen.

Could persist to complete it.

He could actually block his own sense of pain.

But he didn't want to do that.

He didn't want to cheat.

"You, you silly child!" At that moment, Xia's mom finally came to her senses.
