“Isn’t winning Lu Qi in a game of Go too incredible?”
“Yeah. What else could they do in the Go Club room?”
“I heard that Lu Qi looked pale when he walked out. He must feel terrible losing!”
“Really? I don’t think winning Lu Qi is actually possible…”
“That Hao Ren though, he’s even great at basketball.”
“Not only basketball, but he’s also good at rock climbing and boxing. He’s like the Superman!”
“He is a great singer as well…”
“Breaking news! Breaking news! Ye Feng, a four-year student, along with some companions, are going to the cafeteria to find Hao Ren!”
“Isn’t Ye Feng the one that opened a few restaurants outside the school?”
“Yeah, yeah. I heard he wanted to find Hao Ren to discuss some things. A lot of people have gathered around the Clear Stream Cafeteria. Let’s go there too!”
All of a sudden, the school got turned up-side-down by the news.
With the flow of time, the dragon cultivators who used to live deep in the woods were slowly assimilating with the mortals in society.
Especially the young dragon cultivators who had trained at home to some extent; They would go into the cities, enter a high school or university, and meet new friends to expand their horizons.
Within East Ocean University, there were over ten secret groups. Some were based on their elemental attribute, some were based on their realms, and some were based on where they were from. After receiving Su Han’s message, they all went to find Hao Ren, despite previously being relatively low-key.
The Hao Ren who had once rejected the invitation to enter their groups had suddenly become the number one target. As long as one could defeat Hao Ren, he or she would be able to obtain the qualifications to become an assisting inspector!
However, in the eyes of ordinary university students who didn’t know the secretive dragon cultivators that all come from backgrounds of wealth and power, the ordinary students all thought that the sudden challenges against Hao Ren by these famous students were because they were jealous of his close relationship with Su Han.
A day quickly passed by.
Hao Ren was exhausted and dragged his tired body to Su Han’s office.
In just one short day, he had become the focus of the entire school. The school, however, had no intention of interfering with the students’ gossips.
“Today was just the beginning. In the next two days, it’ll become much worse,” Su Han said calmly as she felt Hao Ren walking into her office.
“The ones who haven’t attacked are just patiently waiting for their opportunities, right?” Hao Ren asked.
She opened her eyes and said, “If you can’t even defeat them, there’s no chance for you to survive the Dragon God Shrine.”
“But I can only use 40% of my power,” Hao Ren said while looking at her.
Su Han scanned Hao Ren with her cold gaze and said, “The people participating in this exam have far superior powers than them.”
She stopped for a bit before continuing, “I watched your battles with Lu Qi. You clearly won by a distance in the first battle. In the second battle, you amazed me with your patience. Even a Dui-level cultivator isn’t your match.”
Hao Ren lightly smiled.
Although he wasn’t a Dui-level cultivator yet, if he compared the volume of nature essence with a Dui-level cultivator, he was confident that he was superior. He had cultivated all five elemental essences simultaneously. With all five elements together, it was as if there were five Gen-level cultivators fighting one Dui-level cultivator, not to mention that he was able to counter his opponent’s elemental essence and use sword array formations.
“Let’s go! I bought frozen dumplings today.” Su Han opened a drawer and took out a bag of dumplings.
Together in the drawer with the dumplings was Su Han’s White Jade Sword.
Su Han practiced the Ice Frost Scroll, and her natal dharma treasure was of ice-cold nature. When Su Han put the sword in the drawer with the dumplings, it worked as an automatic refrigeration system!
As if something was stuck in Hao Ren’s throat, he couldn’t say anything.
But it was Su Han! For her to go out and buy a bag of frozen dumplings, it was already a vast diet improvement!
“Pa…” Su Han threw the bag of dumplings over to Hao Ren.
“When we go back, you’re responsible for cooking the dumplings. Then, you have to read the Inspector’s Handbook,” Su Han said emotionlessly while she put back her White Jade Sword.
After that, she went straight out of the office.
Hao Ren looked at her slim body as she walked away. He held the bag of cold dumplings and couldn’t help but laugh.
“She is the one who wants to eat dumplings, but she is afraid that she’ll overcook them. That’s probably why she’s making me cook them.” After realizing Su Han’s true intentions, Hao Ren quickly ran out of the office and ran to catch up to Su Han.
Days passed by quickly.
In the evening, Hao Ren had to cook for Su Han. Then at night, he had to memorize the Inspector’s Handbook.
Next day morning, he had to run to school with Su Han. During the day, had to battle against young cultivators who wanted his position.
Within the school, Hao Ren’s reputation grew rapidly. Although he had tens of students come to him to ‘discuss’ things, he still ran to school with Su Han in the morning. The male students were extremely jealousy at this sight.
On Thursday, Su Han showed up in class in a shirt that had semi-see-through sleeves and a pair of black shorts with simple white polka dots. It was her first time coming to class after she had taken a break from school, and her appearance was dazzling and sexy. Zhao Liren almost nosebleed.
Once again, Su Han became the model that the girls at school looked up to for fashion inspiration. Also, Su Han’s look today hinted that the summer arrived early.
During this time, Zhao Yanzi, with her study materials, pretended to go to the girl’s dorm at the East Ocean University every night to find Xie Yujia to study. However, she was led by Little White and Xie Yujia to Fifth Heaven to train.
The Qin Yin Sect found tens of herbs Xie Yujia was missing to the valley and placed them at the entrance of the Ethereal Summit. When Xie Yujia saw the abundance of materials, she made tens of Beauty Pills for Little White to bring back to the Qin Yin Sect as a thank-you gift.
Overall, there was nothing wrong.
-Sixth Heaven, the Sky Mountain Sect-
A girl wearing a cyan dress walked up the stone steps rapidly. At her waist hung a golden bell; with each step, the bell made a series of crisp noises.
A golden ‘squirrel’ was chasing behind her. Its movements were brisk, forming the illusion of a streak of golden lights.
“Daddy, are you looking for me?” The girl asked as she ran into the garden and pushed opened the bedroom door.
Inside the bedroom sat a mid-aged man with a long black goatee.
“Duan Yao, you’re back.” The man rocked his chair while nodding slightly.
“Daddy, what’s the matter? Why did you ask me to come back on such short notice? Did something urgent happen?” Duan Yao asked carefully while blinking a few times.
“Peng!”
The man slammed his hand on the table to his left, and a white jade teacup jumped into the air.
Duan Yao was shocked, and her whole body shivered.
“How dare you still pretend to be innocent! Kneel before me!” The man yelled with his eyes wide open.
Duan Yao was scared and quickly kneeled on both knees. A mid-aged woman walked in from the room next door, and she shook her head helplessly when she looked at Duan Yao. She came over and handed her a cushion to kneel on.
“Be honest with me. What did you do on Fifth Heaven?” The man glared at Duan Yao, and his voice was extremely strict.
Under the wrath of her father, Duan Yao felt like her body was losing strength. She hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Dad, I found some clues to the thieves that offended the White Sand Sect and stole the two elixir stoves that we gave to them a while ago. I’ve been chasing after the thieves recently.”
“Peng!”
The man slammed against the tea table again.
Duan Yao was scared to look up, and her whole body shivered. The mid-aged woman beside the mid-aged man felt empathy toward Duan Yao, but she didn’t dare utter a word to appease the man’s anger.
“How dare you try and fool me! You really think I don’t know anything?” The mid-aged man was so mad that he turned purple from holding his breath. “You relied on Luojia’s powers and stole from cultivators who were passing by Fifth Heaven. You think I don’t know?”
When she heard this, Duan Yan fiercely shook her head. “Daddy, I didn’t!”
“How dare you quibble!” The man continued to raise his voice. “It has already been reported to Sixth Heaven. Are you saying that the cultivators on Fifth Heaven are lying? The perpetrator was a girl who is 15 to 16, rode a snow lion, had a purple-green longsword, and used the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll!”
Duan Yao looked up and stared blankly at her dad. Luojia, who was standing on her shoulder, jumped to the ground as it looked at the madman in front of it. It ran a little further, just to be safe.
“Dad, that snow lion, it is white, isn’t it?” Duan Yao asked after thinking for a bit.
“It is white. Don’t think you can trick me with these little tricks. Luojia is a level 5 snow lion. Becoming white is easy for it!” The man got angrier as Duan Yao asked for the details.
The woman who stood next to the man tried extremely hard to convey the message: keep quiet for now; don’t talk back.
However, Duan Yao was extremely confused and did not understand what she did wrong.
“That snow lion is not pure white; its legs are golden. That’s the evidence that it was Luojia not completely changing colors! How dare you quibble at this stage! You’re the daughter of the Sect Master of the Sky Mountain Sect. How dare you go and rob cultivators on Fifth Heaven! You made me lose face! Not only did you rob them, you even robbed the affiliates of sects on Sixth Heaven! If they didn’t come to me, I wouldn’t know the troubles you have caused on Fifth Heaven!”
Each word the man said echoed in the room.
“How dare you say it wasn’t you? I haven’t taught any other disciple the Big Dipple Constellation Scroll! Also, you took the Purple Green Treasure Sword long ago!”
“Alright, alright. She’s been playful and has done some wrong things; it was inevitable. However, she’s been trying to find clues for the White Sand Sect this time on Fifth Heaven.” The mid-aged woman finally tried to appease the man’s anger.
Duan Yao looked down, and her teeth made a loud grinding noise. She had never robbed cultivators on Fifth Heaven, but she couldn’t say that she had lost the Purple Green Treasured Sword and the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll!
The Big Dipper Constellation Scroll was a technique that her father begged from Seventh Heaven, and the Purple Green Treasure Sword was one of the greatest treasures of the Sky Mountain Sect. If her father learned that she lost them, he would be even madder.
“Go to the back mountain and reflect for a month! Only rough meals! No visits allowed!” The mid-aged man roared.
He looked at Duan Yao who was kneeling; he thought for a second and said, “If it weren’t you, we will see what happens on Fifth Heaven for the coming month!”
Meanwhile, on Fifth Heaven, Zhao Yanzi looked at the dharma treasures, technique scrolls, spiritual herbs, elixir pills, and dharma notes that filled up half of her cave abode. She puffed up her cheeks and said, “These things aren’t good. They’re wasting so much space. Oh well, I’ll rest for a month!”
