Dragon King's Son-In-Law

When Hao Ren returned to his dorm, Zhou Liren and the guys were playing cards noisily. Zhao Jiayi came back from the stadium already, and they were having a lot of fun.

“What’s up? You didn’t come to school today again,” Zhao Jiayi asked Hao Ren.

“I went to deal with some issues outside of school.” Hao Ren yawned.

“Damn, you are so busy now!” Zhou Liren shouted as he played his cards.

“Did you cover me for attendance today?” Hao Ren asked.

“Cover you? You haven’t come to class for a few days in a row, and the teachers already remember you. How can we cover for you?” Zhou Liren shouted.

Hao Ren shrugged and took his basin into the public bathroom for a shower. Then, he went onto his upper berth and cultivated as he listened to them play.

When he was at Zhao Yanzi’s place, the aroma of the elixir pills helped him unlock 12 openings in the Dragon Core all of a sudden. However, some of the aromas turned into Nature Essence and was still in his Dantian.

He could take advantage of this time and slowly consume in the Nature Essence. He circulated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll again and again in his body as waves of sword energies went through his meridians, absorbing all the leftover Nature Essences.

Pa! Pa!

The left-over Nature Essence opened another two openings, and the Nature Essence merged into his body like waves of water. The Dragon Core was like a fully charged engine, controlling the Nature Essence.

“Hu…” Hao Ren took a deep breath, feeling refreshed. He had unlocked 27 openings so far. He had jumped from low-tier Li-level to mid-tier Li-level, all thanks to the aroma of the elixir pills!

However, Hao Ren still felt uncomfortable breaking through with the assistance of external help. Therefore, he circulated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll another 50 times to secure the realm and polish the new openings.

It was hard to imagine that more than 300 openings could be created on the little Dragon Core. If he could, he would be qualified to try to get into the Heavenly Dragon Realm!

Hao Ren slightly grasped onto the metal rail of the bed, and it got crushed flat!

Hao Ren was already more powerful than those men of unusual strength on TV right now!

If Hao Ren were to release the sword energies, he could easily cut through an iron rail like this!

Hao Ren noticed that the guys were putting the cards away. He slightly used some force and tried to rub the metal rail back into its round shape before closing his eyes to rest.

Perhaps it had been a while since Hao Ren woke up in the dorm, he was a little unfamiliar with the feeling of sunshine coming in through the curtains and waking him up.

Zhao Jiayi on the lower berth was already getting dressed; it seemed like he was about to go out for his morning practice with the Basketball Team. Hao Ren hopped off the upper berth with ease, taking out his basin and towel. “I’m coming with you.”

Zhao Jiayi looked at Hao Ren in surprise and nodded.

The morning breeze was a little chilly but comfortable, and Hao Ren and Zhao Jiayi slowly walked to the front gate. No matter if he were in the Dragon Tribe or not, the friendship between him and his buddies would never change.

Although Zhao Jiayi wasn’t tall, his body had become stronger than before after training for some time.

“You have been busy lately? I rarely see you in school now, and you don’t spend nights in the dorm often as well,” Zhao Jiayi asked Hao Ren as they walked.

Zhao Jiayi was the oldest in the dorm, and he was also the one who cared the most about Hao Ren amongst the three.

“Um… I’m busy with some family issues,” Hao Ren answered.

“Is everything ok?” Zhao Jiayi was worried.

“Yeah, yeah; just some trivial matters.” Hao Ren didn’t want to lie to him, but it was also hard to explain the Dragon Tribe to mortals.

“Um… Let me know if there are any problems. I will surely help out either financially or else wise!” Zhao Jiayi looked at Hao Ren sincerely and patted him on his shoulder.

At that moment, Zhao Jiayi felt Hao Ren’s stone-hard shoulder. But he soon convinced himself that it was only a delusion because Hao Ren didn’t seem like a strong person.

Hao Ren was a bit touched. He thought about it and asked, “Speaking of which, you have had so many days of training now. Is the regular game this week?”

“Yeah, the first game is this weekend,” Zhao Jiayi said.

“Um, good luck!” Hao Ren smiled at him.

Xie Wanjun, who was very strong, was already waiting for his members by the gate. He was surprised to see Hao Ren there.

Hao Ren only nodded at him without further conversation. Hao Ren respected Xie Wanjun, whom he had only met a few times. Even though this man was leaving for the U.S., he was still scrupulous about every detail in the training and the games.

If Hao Ren didn’t have further goals, he might have joined the Basketball Team and followed Xie Wanjun’s lead. They would fight for the national championship together as East Ocean University’s Basketball Team.

Hao Ren walked toward the street outside of campus as Zhao Jiayi gathered with the team in front of Xie Wanjun. He woke up early in the morning to exercise; however, instead of doing it on campus, he wanted to run on the streets off-campus.

He stretched his arms and legs before running toward an intersection ahead. Xie Wanjun squinted his eyes, looking at Hao Ren from behind. He wanted to recruit Hao Ren, but he also thought that Hao Ren might have bigger goals; he knew that this young man wasn’t as simple as he appeared to be!

Boom! Hao Ren suddenly accelerated after the intersection!

A driver who passed by Hao Ren wondered if he had an illusion. “At that speed, it must have been an Olympic runner! He covered a few hundred meters in just a few seconds!”

When he turned back to double check, Hao Ren was long gone from the corner!

As a Li-level cultivator, Hao Ren’s physical strength could only be better than that of an Olympic runner! He would be able to easily achieve first place in every single event in the Athletic Games.

The reason he suddenly wanted to exercise today was that he unlocked a dozen openings yesterday. His felt very good as if he had enough strength to lift a mountain! As Su Han said, breaking through the third level of Spirit Concentration Scroll meant unblocking the acupoints in the human body and reaching the realm of a martial arts master

Hao Ren was an actual cultivator now. If he were previously in the World of Cultivation, he would be a cultivator who had successfully established his foundation.

Hao Ren jogged and sprinted from time to time along the quiet morning streets for half an hour until he felt a little tired.

When he was about to turn back, a familiar figure came into his sight, coming toward him.

Su Han!

Hao Ren thought he was seeing things, so he took another look. It was indeed Su Han!

She was in a set of white sportswear, and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her steps were firm and rhythmic, and she had a bit of flush on the cheeks. She ran toward Hao Ren in the street lined with trees on each side.

Su Han didn’t seem surprised to see Hao Ren. She kept her steady pace, and her curves were shown through the set of white sportswear. Comparing to the coldness from before, she appeared to be livelier.

“You jog as well?” She came over and asked first.

“Um, I’m doing some exercises. You jog to school every day?” Hao Ren turned to her and ran together with her. He was wearing his regular outfit, so he looked a bit weird beside Su Han who was wearing a set of sportswear.

“Yeah,” Su Han adjusted her breathing and answered.

It would even take a while to drive from the Flower City Complex to the school. Maybe running to school every day was a type of cultivation as well.

“Cultivating every day may not help you with comprehending natural laws. Running in the morning helps with that,” Su Han said.

Hao Ren sighed secretly and thought, “She really couldn’t talk three whole sentences without mentioning cultivation. Most people would have never guessed that she is a cultivator in the city since she seemed like an energetic and healthy white-collar lady. An office lady who runs in the morning and goes to the gym on the weekends and have a boyfriend in a manager position in a big company.”

When they jogged to school, it was just about time for the students to go to their classes. Su Han would usually go to her office to get changed and start cultivating, but she suddenly wanted something to eat. Since she didn’t have a Prepaid Cafe Card, Hao Ren had to go with her.

In others’ eyes, Su Han, the beautiful teacher, was having breakfast with a student. Hao Ren ignored the looks and sat beside Su Han, chewing on his two vegetable steamed buns and drinking a bowl of soy milk.

“It seems like you have made some progress lately.” Su Han chewed on her steamed bun elegantly, staring at Hao Ren with her pretty eyes under the long lashes.

“I was lucky to unlock several openings,” Hao Ren answered. Although he was technically Su Han’s assistant, Hao Ren didn’t want to tell her about the elixir pills.

“It must have been quite an adventure in the Nine Dragon Palace, right?” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and asked.

Hao Ren laughed and didn’t say anything. As an Inspector in the East Ocean area, she definitely knew about Four Ocean Dragon Clans entering the Nine Dragon Palace for treasures.

“Um, kind of. But I’m not going to tell you about the details,” Hao Ren said. It seemed like Su Han had sensed him running near the school, so she came to meet him on purpose.

It would be a big mistake to treat Su Han as an ordinary beautiful woman. Hao Ren knew that fact better than anyone else since he had fallen into her traps a few times now.

“Alright. I’m not here to get information out of you.” Su Han glimpsed at him. “But… I have never been to the Nine Dragon Palace.”

Hao Ren looked at her, wondering what she meant by that. As a Qian-level Master, she was a small part of East Ocean Dragon Clan before she entered the Inspector System. There was no chance for her to become a core member of the clan and enter the Nine Dragon Palace. However, masters like her must be extremely interested in the Nine Dragon Palace.

Hao Ren looked at her and could already sense the ‘plot’ she had been planning.

“I must not fall for it this time,” Hao Ren said to himself as he ate half of a bun.
