I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

The two braved the wind and snow to reach the Golden Pavilion.

At this time, the Golden Pavilion was not as deserted as before, with dozens of people standing inside, of varying ages. Judging by their auras, they were at least Entry Realm martial artists, which shocked Su Han somewhat.

This was more martial artists than he had seen in his entire life.

If such a force were to move out in full, it could probably sweep away the entire Peace County.

However, among these people, he only recognized three and a half individuals.

Qian Guang, Xiang Wu from the Benlei Martial Hall, and Zhang Pianxue, the noble daughter of the Zhang family.

The half was the blindfolded swordsman.

"Xiang Wu, how is your father? Is he doing well?"

Qian Guang asked.

Perhaps having experienced the near-breakdown of his family's pillar, or perhaps having been educated by Yuan Xingkong's iron fist, Xiang Wu had changed his impetuous demeanor from before, becoming more composed. He nodded slightly:

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Qian. He is recovering well and can already walk on the ground. It is also thanks to Hall Master Yuan's timely intervention that he suppressed Ye Xuanji's arrogant arrogance."

He then looked at Su Han and bowed:

"Here, I also thank Brother Su."

After inquiring, he finally learned that Yuan Xingkong had stepped in because of Su Han; otherwise, the rise of the Li family would likely have caused even greater consequences.

"It was just a coincidence. Please give my regards to the Hall Master," Su Han replied. Before he arrived, Xiang Shan had already been beaten half to death and had not truly been saved, so he did not want to take credit.

"Brother Su..." Zhang Pianxue suddenly spoke, hesitant.

Su Han responded, "What is it, Miss Zhang?"

"My father wants to invite you to his residence as a guest in a few days. I wonder what you think?" Zhang Pianxue finally said, a slight blush appearing on her fair and delicate face.

She recalled what her father had said to her a few days ago.

"You won't find another opportunity like this." She had been intelligent since childhood and naturally understood the implied meaning, but was this too fast? Until now, she had only met Su Han three times, and their friendship could be said to be shallow, or even nonexistent.

As a martial artist, she was unwilling to be a submissive woman, relying on others without limits.

"Then tell your father that if I have time, I will definitely accept the invitation," Su Han replied ambiguously.

What does 'if I have time' mean?

It means that if he doesn't have time, he won't go.

After the Ye Xuanji and Li Linlong incidents, he, the Shining Luminary of the Northern Border, had completely become a sweet pastry in the eyes of the various families and forces in Peace County, all of whom had sent people to associate with him.

This would have been unimaginable in the past.

How could a mere lowly slave and refugee enter the eyes of the nobles?

The nobles are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you suffer.

Then he won't see them.

In the past, no one would have known or cared if he died.

The contrast before and after was so great that it would be false to say he didn't care. In addition, the objective fact was that he had been working hard to cultivate and had no time, and was too lazy to spend more time associating with these forces.

As for now, it depends on his mood.

Perhaps after a while, he will be busy again and even more reluctant to pay attention to this matter.

"Understood, I will tell my father," Zhang Pianxue nodded, naturally understanding Su Han's implied meaning. She was somewhat disappointed. She was a noble daughter of the Zhang family, and both her appearance and aptitude were top-notch in Peace County, but this could not move him.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There was a kind of unspeakable freedom and unrestrained feeling.

In the end, she didn't dwell on it. What are we martial artists dwelling on these things for? She revealed a bright smile and said, "I can see Brother Su's strength again in the upcoming eradication operation."

She recalled the scene from the beginning and was somewhat amazed.

Back then, Li Linlong, the genius who suppressed the entire Peace County, was defeated by Su Han with one punch. What kind of demeanor was that? It was as if a sun was rising, and she couldn't help but be a little distracted.

"Miss Zhang is too kind. I will have to rely on you all a lot later," Su Han smiled slightly, very modestly.

After all, this is still the early stage of martial arts, and the gap between the upper and lower levels is not too large. There is a great possibility of capsizing in the gutter, so he needs to be cautious and not be reckless.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chenguang," At this time, the half-person blindfolded swordsman came to Su Han.

"My name is Su Han, I have met Brother Chen," Su Han smiled slightly and responded.

"I heard about your feat of defeating Li Linlong with one punch from the Hall Master. Many people say that you didn't use your full strength, but I think you didn't even use any strength."

"I can see that you are a swordsman. Whether it was during the first exchange or now, your sword is stronger than your fist, much, much stronger."

Chenguang spoke eloquently, then changed the subject:

"If there is a chance, I would like to compete with you in swordsmanship, how about it?"

Su Han raised his eyebrows and replied:

"If Brother Chen has such an interest, I will be happy to accompany you."

In the past, he used his Mind's Eye to reflect Chenguang and conduct virtual battles. Because the information was insufficient and the data was incomplete, he could not materialize Chenguang at his peak, but he could also be called a good opponent.

Therefore, he was also very curious about Chenguang's true strength.

If Li Linlong is compared to the upper limit of the Peace County, he feels that Chenguang's strength at his peak may not be below Li Linlong, and may even be stronger.

Can a small Peace County nurture so many geniuses?

Or is Chenguang not from Peace County?

Even a large part of the dozens of Entry Realm martial artists in the field do not belong to Peace County? This can explain why the Golden Pavilion's power is so vast.

Qian Guang and the other three were somewhat shocked when they heard the conversation between the two.

Not not using full strength, but not using any strength at all?

How strong is Brother Su?

"Look, isn't that Su Han you've been thinking about?"

"Why don't you go over?"

Wushan and Zhuge Xi were talking in the distance.

He noticed Su Han and asked jokingly.

"It's not the time yet," Zhuge Xi replied indifferently.

"Tch, you're really being mysterious. I don't know why the Hall Master put you and me in the same group, but this time, the eradication operation is launched in advance, not just against the White Lotus Sect, right?" Wushan asked curiously.

"Then you have to ask the Hall Master?"

"You've always been prescient, haven't you? I thought you were really the worm in the Hall Master's stomach."

While everyone was chatting, the main character Yuan Xingkong finally arrived late.

He wiped the red oil from the corner of his mouth, not touching it with his hand, and flicked it to the ground. This is the mystery of Great Accomplishment in Skin Refining, the Immortal Garment of Water and Fire, where not a drop of water can fall and not a feather can stick.

But seeing this scene, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

"What are you little guys looking at?"

"Can't I eat some hot pot? It's the middle of winter," Yuan Xingkong said shamelessly, scolding with a smile. He continued:

"Alright, I announce that the eradication operation has officially begun."

"The targets of this eradication are the White Lotus Sect, the Yin Shen Temple, and the Joy Pavilion. Now we will start assigning personnel to eradicate the three Outer Path forces at the same time. Killing an Entry Realm martial artist will earn ten merits!"
