After cultivating for an entire night, the next morning came.
Hao Ren and Xie Yujia got up early to catch the first bus outside of the house to go back to school.
After entering downtown, they changed onto another bus. Seeing middle-schoolers file up onto the bus, Xie Yujia was reminiscent of her life in middle school.
Hao Ren leaned against the bus window and looked at the city that had been washed clean by last night's storm while circulating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. Last night, he had successfully solidified his realm in his small room on the second floor, and the new openings he acquired after using the Two Dragons Array Formation were now filled with essence.
He had experienced a similar incident prior, but he didn't know that his steady cultivation progress was all thanks to Xie Yujia.
While Xie Yujia cultivated, the Life Note would suck the nature essence in the nearby areas into the house, but her body type couldn't absorb it all, and thus Hao Ren got all the benefits.
"Tonight, are you still going to Zhao Yanzi's home and tutoring her?" Xie Yujia asked him abruptly.
"Yeah." Hao Ren nodded, and by now the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll had finished one cycle.
Xie Yujia smiled and didn't reply.
The bus arrived at the gate of the university, and they got off.
This bus stop was on the only route for students who lived off-campus to get back into the school, and thus many vendors set up temporary booths there.
Hao Ren ran over, bought two pancakes with egg and sweet soybean paste, and handed one to Xie Yujia.
Taking the hot pancake from Han Ren's hand, Xie Yujia was a little touched.
Looking at his calm and humble face, she knew that she would always remember such details of life even if they didn't end up together in the future.
"I'm going to go to my dorm for the books. You'd better prepare for the class as well." Hao Ren quickened his steps and walked toward the southern dorm area.
If the guys in the class knew that Xie Yujia was living in his home, they would explode from the news.
Since Xie Yujia quit her position as the class president, her charm had grown immensely in the school, and she had become one of the most popular girls in students' minds. Meanwhile, Lin Li, the former most popular girl in the school was no longer on par with Xie Yujia.
During the weekend, Hao Ren destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace and had been to Fifth Heaven. However, no matter how colorful his after-school life was, he was an ordinary student at the school.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhao Jiayi and the other guys didn't see any differences in Hao Ren and chatted with him as usual.
Even though Hao Ren now could fly up into the sky, he didn't think he was so different from his buddies in the school.
After lunch in the Clear Stream Cafeteria, he took a bus to the martial arts dojo in downtown.
Elder Sun's martial arts dojo was very popular. Even during the lunch break, each of the VIP rooms was occupied. Obviously, keeping fit by practicing martial arts instead of yoga or dancing had become a new trend in the city.
Of course, the innermost room was reserved for Hao Ren.
Who would have thought that the popular Sun Yun Martial Art Dojos, that had chains in every major city in the country, also served as the cultivation place for the dragon cultivators?
With the Supreme VIP Card in his hand, Hao Ren directly entered the innermost room which then teleported him to a valley with two top-tier spirit stones; any human cultivators would be jealous over the treatment Hao Ren got.
The dragon cultivator who guarded the teleportation array in the valley had seen Hao Ren last time. After witnessing Hao Ren's great power, the cultivator had very high regard for Hao Ren.
In the valley, several other young cultivators were practicing.
The martial art dojos Elder Sun operated had two functions. One was to station the people of East Ocean all over the country and even the world; the other was to provide a practice venue for dragon cultivators.
After all, they could only have low-level competitions in small energy spheres they built themselves. They would need a big place for serious competitions.
Besides, there were more and more young cultivators living in the city, and it was a serious crime if an inspector found them having large-scaled fights in the city. Elder Sun's martial art dojos could solve the problem for the cultivators.
They could be teleported to a remote valley from the city by the array. This way, they didn't have to fly during the day, and they could practice their cultivation techniques freely in the valley protected by defensive array formations without the fear of attracting the attention of the mortal world.
Walking out of the teleportation array to the center of the valley, Hao Ren saw six young cultivators fighting. Among them, four were at Zhen-level, and two were at Dui-Level; two of the Zhen-level cultivators were girls.
From the colored lights they were emitting, Hao Ren knew that the two Dui-level guys were from the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan while the two Zhen-level guys were from the lake branch of the Water-Elemental Dragon Clan.
The four Zhen-level cultivators were combining forces against one Dui-level cultivator who was using a heavy cultivation technique, unleashing a series of square blocks
One of the Zhen-level water-elemental dragons slashed out a pale blue light wave with her short whip, forcing the Dui-level cultivator to back off two steps. The other two Zhen-level cultivators took the opportunity to attack, and the Dui-level cultivator couldn't block them. He flew five meters backward and stumbled.
Hao Ren had just entered the valley and was walking by the stumbling Dui-level cultivator, so he placed his hand on this cultivator's back, helping him to gain his balance
"Wang Hui, you lost!" The other Dui-level cultivator who was standing on the side and acting as the referee yelled gloatingly.
"Humph!" The Dui-level cultivator who was knocked back was reluctant to admit defeat.
He looked back at Hao Ren and slapped his hand off him.
His slap was hard.
Unprepared, Hao Ren got a red slap mark on his wrist.
"If this idiot didn't suddenly come in and distract me, I wouldn't have lost!" The cultivator named Wang Hui glared at Hao Ren and growled.
Even with his mild temper, Hao Ren was angry at this accusation.
He knew this valley was not open to him alone, so he didn't interrupt their competition and even helped the cultivator to regain his balance when he stumbled. Wan Hui looked back at Hao Ren again and sneered, "What?! You are a little Zhen-level cultivator, and you dare to be angry with me?!"
Although Hao Ren emitted the deep blue light and was from one of the four oceans, Wan Hui was an earth-elemental dragon and didn't need to be worried. As long as Hao Ren wasn't a metal-elemental dragon, this Dui-level cultivator felt like he could do anything to a little Zhen-level cultivator.
Having lost face in front of two girls, he wanted to vent his anger on Hao Ren and show his higher ranking as a Dui-level cultivator.
Just like how lower-year students were a little cautious around upper-year students in school, lower-powered cultivators were fearful of higher-powered cultivators.
Seeing that they were having a competition here, Hao Ren wanted to find another spot to practice by himself. But now his temper was up, he raised his hand and slapped the Dui-level cultivator, sending him flying by half a meter!
He didn't like trouble, but he never allowed others to mess with him either!
He treated Huang Xujie like that, and he was going to treat other arrogant people like that as well.
The Dui-level cultivator didn't expect that Hao Ren would dare to attack him. He wanted to make Hao Ren apologize to him to show his higher-status, but he was forced to save his face now.
He took out two large round hammers!
Without a word, the Dui-level cultivator pounced on Hao Ren while the two round iron hammers released yellow sparks of light.
Fighting inside such array formations was similar to fighting inside red energy shields. As long as they didn't beat their rivals to death, they wouldn't be punished by inspectors.
The large iron hammers that weighed over 1,000 pounds each crashed down viciously with Dui-level nature essence. Obviously, this Dui-level cultivator meant to injure Hao Ren severely!
In the flashes of light, he didn't even notice the pale golden flame mark on Hao Ren's forehead, showing his assisting inspector identity! With Su Han recovering from her injuries in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Hao Ren was now the authorized inspector of the East Ocean City!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBang!
The earth-shaking noise shook the whole valley.
The two Zhen-level girls covered their eyes and didn't dare to open their eyes to see the result. The two Zhen-level guys stared at the flying clouds of dust in alarm, fearing that Wang Hui would retaliate them for beating him together. The other Dui-level cultivator only shook his head helplessly.
Since he was proud, Wang Hui didn't use his dharma treasure when fighting the four Zhen-level cultivators, but now he was using it against Hao Ren!
"Under Wang Hui's furious attack, that Zhen-level cultivator who dared to offend Wang Hui is probably dead or crippled," they thought as the dust settled down gradually.
Wang Hui's iron hammer created a half-meter deep hole on the ground.
However, Hao Ren's body was not in the hole.
Wang Hui was alarmed by what he saw, wondering if he had crushed Hao Ren into a meat pie.
"The guy looks like he just reached Zhen-level, so he is probably not a big figure." At this thought, Wang Hui calmed down. After all, he was a grandson of the First Elder of the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan from Wuyi Mountain; he believed that his family would get him out of this trouble.
"Is it my turn now?"
Hao Ren's voice came suddenly.
Following this voice, Wang Hui looked up and saw Hao Ren, whom he thought he could defeat with one hammer, standing on a grey sword energy and glaring at him.
Hao Ren raised his right hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh… Dashes of light entered his fingertips from the surrounding space!
In his palm, a bright white energy sphere was taking shape!
The valley protected by the array formation had no wind, but the trees were shaking.
The falling leaves on the ground began to swirl swiftly as if they were sucked into an invisible tornado!
Bang!
Wang Hui stomped on the ground and brought the two iron hammers together, making a loud banging noise.
He didn't believe that a Zhen-level cultivator could break his defense!
