The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Su Jian's words were undoubtedly like spitting fire on the heads of all the Su family members in the ancestral hall.

Moreover, Su Changqing, the head of the Su family, was also in a fit of anger at this time.

The others were astonished that Su Jian was so blind.

To say these words at this time.

What's the difference between this and disturbing the peace of the earth?

Many people present thought that Su Jian was in trouble.

but.

As Su Jian strolled leisurely towards Su Changqing under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Su Changqing did not continue to get angry.

Instead, he stared at Su Jian and asked.

"Go on."

Su Jian watched as the clan leader's anger was brought under control.

He continued.

"Since the clan leader has spoken, then I, Su Jian, will dare to speak!"

"Everyone here is a member of the Su family. Do you understand the greatest crisis the Su family is currently facing?"

As soon as Su Jian said this.

Some of the older members of the audience immediately stood up and reprimanded them.

"Outrageous! Su Jian! What nonsense are you spouting? The Su family is doing just fine!"

At this point, some other people echoed his sentiments.

He repeatedly reprimanded Su Jian.

But Su Jian remained neither humble nor arrogant, and was not affected in any way.

Su Changqing raised his hand to stop the older members.

"Let Su Jian continue!"

The older generation reluctantly returned to their seats.

Su Jian said.

"As one of the twelve great families, the Su family stood at the forefront of the times, enjoying unparalleled glory for a time."

"However, the glory days always come to an end. The Su family's greatest strength comes from its patriarch, who is an extraordinary being."

"At the same time, the greatest danger to the Su family also lies with the patriarch!"

These words were spoken.

Many people's expressions changed.

To discuss the clan chief in public on such a occasion is truly outrageous!

But Su Jian showed no sign of stopping.

On the contrary, they got more and more excited as they talked.

"Why is the clan leader so keen on marriage alliances? It's because he has foreseen the inevitable decline of the Su family and believes that marriage alliances are necessary to forge deep ties with other powerful families, thus prolonging the Su family's life!"

At this moment, someone shouted, "Su Jian, stop talking nonsense! The Su family has never declined; everything is fine!"

The surroundings were chaotic, but the clan leader, Su Changqing, remained silent throughout.

His face looked terrible, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Jian responded without any politeness.

"On the surface, the Su family is indeed prosperous and powerful, but its roots are rotten!"

"The Su family only has one extraordinary individual, the patriarch!"

"And just recently, another powerful family, the Wu family, whose strength is comparable to our Su family, has produced a new extraordinary individual!"

"Currently, among the twelve great families, only my Su family has one extraordinary individual, making us the last one!"

"To put it bluntly, if the clan leader were to unfortunately pass away one day, the Su family would instantly collapse and be divided up by the other eleven aristocratic families!"

The last sentence.

Su Jian was like a sharp knife, stabbing the Su family in the heart.

At this moment, Su Changqing closed his eyes and sat back down in his seat.

The other members of the Su family around them.

They were all attacking Su Jian in various ways.

"Su Jian! What are your true intentions? Why did you curse the clan leader?"

"Are you actually a member of the Su family?"

"For your daughter's sake, you're openly going against the Su family?"

"Su Jian, you'd better come to your senses and turn back from your misguided path. If you continue down this wrong path, you'll eventually become the enemy of the entire Su family!"

"Believe it or not, we'll expel you from the Su family!"

"......."

Su Changqing found the surrounding noise increasingly loud and annoying.

He lived for a hundred years; how could he not see the truth of these things?

"Enough! Everyone, quiet down!"

Su Changqing slapped the table and chairs.

The entire room came to an abrupt halt, and everyone fell silent.

Su Changqing looked at Su Jian again.

"Su Jian, so, in your opinion, what are your thoughts?"

Su Jian smiled slightly and uttered a sentence.

"Instead of constantly targeting Ye Xiao, we should give him a chance."

"What opportunity?"

"Let Ye Xiao participate in the Su family's Path to Sword God Trial!"

The words fell.

Su Jian's words immediately drew even stronger opposition from those around him.

"Can't!"

"The Su family's path to becoming a sword god—this is the root of the Su family, its most crucial and essential element!"

"Only those who have obtained the qualification to inherit the Su family's legacy can enter the Path of the Sword God!"

"Su Jian, are you crazy?! Letting an outsider enter the Path of the Sword God?"

"Are you planning to hand over the entire Su family to an outsider?"

"Su Jian, you are a traitor!"

"Patriarch! Everyone has seen through Su Jian's true colors! He's determined to lead our Su family to ruin!"

"......."

Su Jian had already anticipated this.

His statement will certainly provoke an unprecedented wave of opposition.

But Su Jian knew.

No matter how loud their voices are, or how strong their opposition is.

The person who ultimately made the decision was Su Changqing.

Because he is the only extraordinary person in the Su family.

Su Changqing listened calmly to Su Jian's suggestion.

He countered with a question.

Why give Ye Xiao this chance?

"Because of his arranged marriage with your daughter?"

"Or perhaps, because of your relationship with his father before his death."

"So you're going to keep protecting him like this?"

Su Jian calmly shook his head.

"No, it's because I see in him the potential to become the next superhuman."

The voice just fell.

Sure enough, a torrent of doubts arose from the surrounding crowd.

"Ye Xiao? Him? The next extraordinary individual?"

"How could that be! What a ridiculous joke!"

"A martial artist of Rank E, currently only at the first realm, showing absolutely no talent for cultivation!"

"At his age, I had already reached the sixth realm, but now I'm eighty years old and stuck at the limit of the tenth realm, unable to step into the realm of the extraordinary!"

"In terms of talent, am I not superior to him?"

"Su Jian, do you really think that the position of a transcendent being is as easy as cabbage growing on the roadside?"

"You yourself said that the huge Su family used to have many geniuses, and the family spent a lot of resources nurturing them, but no second extraordinary person has emerged."

"......"

Because the surrounding ridicule and skepticism were too great.

This has already affected the normal conversation between Su Changqing and Su Jian.

to the end.

Su Changqing immediately ordered Su Jian to stay, while everyone else went back to rest.

After the clan chief personally issued the order to leave.

No matter how unhappy or unwilling others may be.

They could only leave with resentment.

At last.

Only Su Changqing and Su Jian remained in front of the ancestral hall.

Su Changqing stared at Su Jian with utmost seriousness.

He asked, "Su Jian, what makes you so certain that Ye Xiao is the next superhuman?"
