Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 65 – I’m laying my cards on the table, I’m not pretending anymore, I am invincible to all poisons!
Seeing so many eyes on him, Gu Han suddenly smiled.
"Deputy heads, do you think I'm a magnanimous person?"
With a clink, the two men's hearts skipped a beat.
Fatty and Manager Li exchanged glances.
Magnanimous?
Pah!
Don't insult the word!
"Just now," Gu Han's gaze swept over the crowd, "you were all betting on my death, surely wishing deep down for it to happen. I understand, earning some Yuan Crystals isn't shameful! But..."
He narrowed his eyes.
"If you're so eager for my death, why should I care about yours?"
Clang!
He drew his long sword and thrust it straight into the white jade floor!
"Today!"
"Not a single Yuan Crystal less!"
"Dare to withhold, and see what happens!"
His tone was filled with deadly intent.
"Sigh..."
Wu and Feng exchanged a glance, shaking their heads silently, no longer speaking.
After all, they were disgusted by these people's behavior.
Moreover, Gu Han's status in their hearts had risen even higher, surpassing the combined worth of these onlookers.
Gu Han looked at the crowd, expressionless.
With the sword present, even if they were resentful, they had to honestly hand over the Yuan Crystals.
"That was satisfying!"
Fatty's face glowed with pleasure, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of collecting debts, casually tossing several Storage Rings into Gu Han's hand.
"Next time something like this happens, remember to call Fatty!"
The crowd nearly spat blood.
Next time?
There would never be a next time in their lives!
"So many!"
Gu Han was inwardly shocked as he glanced over the Storage Rings, which together held nearly eight million Yuan Crystals!
Of course, he first collected the five million he had won.
"Instructor Han."
Gu Han handed over a Storage Ring.
"This is yours, one million Yuan Crystals."
"Good!"
Han Fu accepted it without hesitation, his envy making He Zhong nearly drool.
"Brother Jiang."
Gu Han passed another Storage Ring to Jiang Feng.
"This is yours."
Also one million.
"This..."
Jiang Feng felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, he had only bet his mansion to defend Gu Han's honor, never intending to make money.
"Don't want it?"
Gu Han's eyes lit up.
"Then..."
"I do! Why wouldn't I!"
From the side, Manager Li, quick as a flash, snatched the Storage Ring.
"Your Highness! This is what we deserve; we can't let certain people benefit!"
"..."
Gu Han touched his nose and looked at Mei Yun.
"Instructor Mei, this is yours."
Gu Han gave him five hundred thousand.
"Eh! Eh!"
Mei Yun's smile was so wide it was crooked.
Winning so many Yuan Crystals was one thing, but the main joy was that Gu Han hadn't died; he felt his fortune was finally turning!
"Instructor Mei!"
Fatty looked on guard.
"Let's get one thing straight, making money is making money, but we still need to keep our distance!"
"Ah-Sha."
Gu Han hesitated for a moment.
"Do you really think... he's not human?"
At this moment, Ah-Sha had recovered from her sadness and, after another glance at Mei Yun, declared decisively, "He's not!"
"..."
Gu Han fell silent.
He had wanted to speak well of Mei Yun.
But now...
Let's leave it for next time.
"I'm curious."
Minister Wu approached, somewhat wistful and puzzled, "That poison pill was indeed genuine, how... did you manage it?"
"Deputy Head Wu."
Gu Han was serious.
"Let me tell you a secret, actually... I also have a special constitution!"
"What!"
Minister Feng was utterly astonished.
"You too?"
"Yes!"
"Then..."
Minister Wu was visibly excited.
"What kind of constitution do you have?"
"I possess a naturally poison-immune body!"
Hiss!
The two gasped in shock, deeply impressed.
They believed it.
After all, if not for being poison-immune, how could he have eaten a poison pill and not only survived but also advanced in realm?
This explanation was both logical and reasonable!
From the side, Fatty struggled to contain his laughter.
He really wanted to laugh.
But seeing Gu Han's murderous gaze, he forcefully held it back.
"Who would have thought," Minister Wu mused again, "that Great Qi has produced a genius that comes once in a century! If the founding emperor were here, he would be no different!"
"Deputy Head Wu."
Jiang Feng was excited.
"Have you... actually seen the founding emperor?"
"A few times."
"What was he really like? Does he resemble the portraits, handsome and dignified?"
"Cough cough..."

Minister Feng's expression turned odd.
"He... was actually a Fatty, and his looks... were just average."
"..."
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.
Pah!
Fatty looked displeased.
What's wrong with being fat!
Did I offend you!
"Enough, let's not talk about him."
Minister Wu shook his head and glanced at Gu Han again, "You should know that in five days, it's the Martial Academy's trial."
"..."
Gu Han blinked.
He really didn't know.
"This..."
Jiang Feng was worried.
"The Barbaric Wilderness Forest recently experienced a Demonic Beast uprising, wouldn't the trial be..."
"No worries."
Minister Wu waved his hand.
"The Martial Academy's trial is a rule, not to be changed lightly! Moreover, Commander Zhou has been observing the Barbaric Wilderness Forest lately and hasn't noticed anything unusual! On the day of the trial, we will be present to prevent certain... rule-breakers from targeting you!"
"Of course."
Minister Feng added, "This is also to prevent overly powerful Demonic Beasts from disrupting your trial."
Gu Han suddenly understood.
No wonder he hadn't seen Commander Zhou today.
"By the way."
Minister Wu seemed to remember something, looking at Gu Han with a hint of mystery, "At that time, you might face a test."
"A test?"
"Indeed, rest assured, this test is a great opportunity! Do you know, Jiang Hong... dreams of having this test? Unfortunately, after losing to you, he will never have the chance again in his life!"
"Who will test me?"
Gu Han was curious.
"Azure Cloud Pavilion!"
"Azure Cloud Pavilion? What's that?"
"Ask your ass!"
Fatty disdainfully shook his head.
"Don't worry about Azure Cloud Pavilion or White Cloud Pavilion, it's just a test, we'll just take it, let them come!"
"This..."
Minister Wu was a bit embarrassed.
"We've only reported his situation, the test... is only for him."
"What!"
Fatty was furious.
"Your eyes... um..."
Just as he was about to curse, he was muzzled by a sweating Jiang Feng.
Wu and Feng's temples throbbed with veins.
This Fatty was too lawless!
"Deputy heads."
Gu Han ignored Fatty's ranting and asked, "Did they say what the test is?"
"Not clear."
Minister Wu shook his head.
"They only sent a message this time; as for the rest... they didn't say."
"..."
Gu Han frowned slightly.
Although he knew this test might be a great opportunity, he didn't like the feeling of being completely in the dark and controlled by others.
"Don't overthink it."
Minister Feng smiled, "This Azure Cloud Pavilion is very mysterious, even we two know very little about it, only that it's an organization within the upper sects that specializes in gathering geniuses..."
"Genius?"
Fatty was angry again.
"Am I not a genius? You two..."
Before he could finish, he was muzzled again by Jiang Feng.
"Enough."
Seeing Fatty about to make a scene again, the two were headache-ridden and lost the mood to talk.
"The Martial Academy's trial is in a few days, you... better go back and prepare!"
"Indeed!"
With matters concluded here, Gu Han naturally had no intention of staying any longer, dragging the still indignant Fatty away from the place.
"Before..."
As Gu Han and his group walked further away, Minister Feng sighed, "We underestimated him! Who would've thought that besides the Extreme Realm, he also has a poison-immune body! Hehe, I'm curious, if he encounters that monster from Great Chu, what would the outcome be?"
"Compared to that."
Minister Wu shook his head.
"I'm more concerned about whether he can pass this test... Huh? Why is he coming back?"
Outside, Gu Han, who had already walked a good distance away, suddenly returned to the two men.
