Chapter 94: Unlocking A New Halo
Upon hearing Li Qingyang's words, both King Yang and the chief eunuch, as well as the neatly arranged palace maids who were there to welcome Li Qingyang, were dumbfounded.
Li Qingyang was the foremost expert in Clear Sun Kingdom, and in fact, the kingdom was even named "Clear Sun Kingdom" sixty years ago in honor of Li Qingyang's name. He was considered the embodiment of faith for the entire kingdom. Whether it was the king, or the commoners, everyone knew him. But now, Li Qingyang had actually slapped the king of Clear Sun Kingdom in front of everyone, all for the sake of someone from another country?
Moreover, if this person from another country were another formidable expert in the Fish-Dragon Realm, it would still be somewhat understandable. However, Su Zhan was merely at the Origin Elixir Realm!
The more King Yang thought about it, the more puzzled, resentful, and angry he became. After all, he was the king of Clear Sun Kingdom, and to be slapped in the face like this in front of everyone was a complete loss of face, becoming a laughingstock in the eyes of the world! If it weren't for his concerns about Li Qingyang's strength, he would have turned hostile on the spot.
"Elder Li! At the very least, I am the ruler of a nation! You"
"The ruler of a nation?" Li Qingyang sneered. "In Clear Sun Kingdom, I decide who becomes the king. I chose you back then. Do you really think highly of yourself? Apologize to Lord Su immediately!"
"But"
King Yang's temples throbbed, he took a deep breath, and then bowed to Su Zhan. "I apologize for my rudeness, Lord Su."
"No problem. Just take me to comprehend the Qingyang Sacred Scroll. I don't want to waste any more time," Su Zhan responded indifferently.
"This" King Yang looked at Li Qingyang.
Li Qingyang replied, "Lord Su's intention is my intention. Whatever he asks you to do, you do it!"
"Yes!"
King Yang's heart trembled, and he lowered his head in compliance. When he looked up again at Su Zhan, there was already a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Lord Su, please follow me."
"Even if Lord Su has unparalleled talent, maybe one month?" King Yang hesitated and continued, "After all, even Elder Li took a month back then. Although this Su Zhan has extraordinary talent in martial arts, his mental strength talent cannot surpass yours, Elder Li."
"It's hard to say," Li Qingyang recalled his battle with Su Zhan. "His mental strength is extremely strong, or perhaps his soul is special. He has an unwavering disposition. If my estimation is correct, he will be able to enter the painting world within ten days!"
"Ten days! How is that possible!" King Yang exclaimed, filled with disbelief.
"Ah! How could I have known about such a freakish person in the world before I went to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?" Li Qingyang sighed and waved his hand. "Alright, let's not disturb Lord Su any longer. Let's go!"
"Yes!"
The two of them turned and left.
Just at that moment, as Su Zhan concentrated on comprehending the Qingyang Sacred Scroll, a system voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ding! Achievement task First Time Cultivating Mental Strength' completed, unlocking a new halo: Protagonist's Mental Strength Halo

Sure enough, it arrived.
Su Zhan smiled inwardly. He had wondered if he would unlock some halo related to this aspect, and now it seemed that his system was indeed useful.
Mental Strength Halo, activate!
Suddenly, Su Zhan felt a clear-headedness and an enhanced perception of his surroundings. His eyes focused on the painting scroll before him.
Three seconds later, he entered the picture world!
