Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Panda Novel

“I believe in rules,” Hao Ren answered.

“In this world, rules are made by powerful people.” The Shrine Master released a wave of pressure from his palm.

The force hit the stone wall and bounced back onto Hao Ren who was standing in the middle of the secret chamber.

Hao Ren was sent flying backward for five meters before he crashed heavily on the closed stone door.

“I’ll give you a chance. When you are sure that you can block 20 strikes from me, I’ll give you that thing back.”

The Shrine Master said coldly toward the stone wall.

“Ok.” Hao Ren regained his balance and brushed the dust off his clothes.

“The level 4 inspector’s robe has been delivered to your room. I see your meridians are injured, and you need to heal,” the Shrine Master continued.

Hao Ren touched his chest and found that his meridians that had been damaged due to his forced use of Zhao Haoran’s peak Qian-level in the Demon Sea had returned to their original state.

Hum!

The stone door opened suddenly, and Hao Ren was tossed out instantly.

The dominant force sent him flying along the long corridor and to the side of the spiral staircase.

“20 strikes…” Hao Ren clenched his fists and thought.

Although the Shrine Master didn’t injure him, he insulted Hao Ren by tossing him out of the room.

A white misty energy sphere suddenly rose around the entrance of the top floor. Hao Ren reached out to touch it and immediately withdrew his hand when he felt stinging lightning bolts enter his body.

The inspectors in the Dragon God Shrine rarely saw the deputy shrine masters and never entered the secret chamber where the Shrine Master cultivated.

In fact, it was the first time that the Shrine Master had summoned an inspector and made an agreement.

Which inspector dared to fight with the Dragon God Shrine Master?!

Hao Ren wasn’t afraid!

After all, 20 strikes would only take a short while during battle!

Hao Ren cleaned and straightened his clothes and walked downstairs.

Below the top floor was the cultivation area for the level 4 inspectors. The nature essence intensity there was almost as abundant as that in Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven.

The floor below was the prison with thin nature essence, and all kinds of criminals were locked in there.

Further down was the cultivation area of level 3 inspectors and the stations for regional inspectors.

Hao Ren walked to the room that he shared with Su Han and saw three silk robes including black, red and blue hanging at the stone door.

The robes had four-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the shoulders, which signaled that the wearer was a level 4 inspector.

Hao Ren picked up the robes, opened the stone door with his token, and saw Su Han cultivating on the white jade bed.

Su Han turned her head, startled by Hao Ren’s sudden arrival.

When she saw the level 4 token at Hao Ren’s waist and the three robes in his hands, she looked surprised.

However, Su Han was cold and didn’t ask him anything.

Hao Ren looked at Su Han on the jade bed through the square door and vaguely saw her skin beneath her thin robe.

“Go!” Su Han frowned, and her longsword on the side of the bed stabbed at Hao Ren suddenly.

Hao Ren immediately blocked it with his palms in which the lightning energy formed a hard sphere, but he was still forced back three steps by Su Han’s longsword.

When he regained his balance, Su Han had already put on a black robe.

Su Han got down to the ground from the jade bed and summoned the longsword back to her hand.

“The top-tier Dui-level…” Su Han said after looking at Hao Ren while emphasizing each word.

“I was lucky,” Hao Ren said shamelessly.

“Good. Now you are qualified to enter the Nine Dragon Palace with me.” Su Han looked calm, but she was secretly relieved. Now that Hao Ren had reached top-tier Dui-level, she didn’t have to use the essence transfer technique that Lady Zhen had given her.

Su Han’s gaze rested on Hao Ren’s level 4 token as she asked, “Which one of us is the boss?”

“You are. You are,” Hao Ren answered immediately.

“Ok…” Su Han nodded with satisfaction.

She was displeased that Hao Ren had been promoted to level 4 while she remained a level 3 inspector. However, Hao Ren still listened to her.

“I’ll leave the robes here; I have to head back to deal with some business.” After handing the three robes to Su Han, Hao Ren said hurriedly.

“Ok…” Su Han nodded coldly. When Hao Ren walked out of the stone door, she suddenly realized that he had wanted her to hang the robes for him.

Su Han gritted her teeth and walked into the inner chamber before putting Hao Ren’s three silk robes into the wardrobe.

She had appointed Hao Ren as her assisting inspector, but he had now been promoted to a higher position than her. This brought some dissatisfaction to her.

Meanwhile, Hao Ren had dashed down the stairs swiftly back to the hall on the ground floor.

The level 1 inspectors who had been cultivating in the hall were astonished when they saw Hao Ren’s level 4 token.

Several low-level inspectors saw his token and immediately stood aside to give way to him.

Hao Ren had arrived a while ago as a level 3 inspector, but now he had been promoted to a level 4 inspector!

Although there was only one level between level 3 and level 4, it was quite difficult to get the elevation!

The Dragon God Shrine were quite picky with the selection of inspectors and had tight control of the number of inspectors. From the dragon cultivators all over the world, it only selected hundreds of inspectors in which only about 100 were level 3 inspectors. In addition, there were only about a dozen level 4 inspectors!

One could reach level 3 by accumulating contribution points, but the promotion to level 4 must be proposed by one deputy shrine master and be agreed by the other eight deputy shrine masters and the Shrine Master.

Since the Shrine Master rarely showed his face, not even at the annual general exams, level 4 inspectors were in the top of the pyramid in many low-level inspector’s minds.

Hao Ren hurried toward the gate, oblivious to the envy in the eyes of the low-level inspectors.

The golden shield went out from Hao Ren’s necklace and sucked in some of the abundant nature essences in the Dragon God Shrine. However, it didn’t dare to suck too much, knowing that they were in a unique place.

“Is that a supreme spiritual treasure…”

“Yeah… I guess…”

Seeing the small black shield following Hao Ren, the low-level inspectors asked each other in surprise.

Although they were older than Hao Ren and joined the Dragon God Shrine earlier than him, they had never seen a supreme spiritual treasure which could move freely like spirit beasts!

“This Hao Ren is not only a level 4 inspector but has his own supreme spiritual treasure as well!” they thought to themselves.

Comparing themselves with Hao Ren, the cultivators who had been proud of being official inspectors of the Dragon God Shrine felt ashamed!

They probably would never become level 4 inspectors or possess a supreme spiritual treasure all their lives!

“Well… It’s you?”

Hao Ren was about to walk out of the Dragon God Shrine when Qin Shaoyang walked in with a fiery red coat.

Hao Ren was surprised to see Qin Shaoyang, but he ignored him and walked to the gate with a cold snort.

“Humph!” Qin Shaoyang snorted with a louder voice and reached his right hand toward Hao Ren.

He had come to the Dragon God Shrine to do his routine report and was surprised to encounter Hao Ren. If he hadn’t lost to Hao Ren in the Dragon God Shrine’s general exam, he wouldn’t have been sent to such a remote place to be a regional inspector!

Now seeing Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang wouldn’t let him go easily, especially when he saw that Su Han wasn’t with Hao Ren!

Bang!

Hao Ren punched on Qin Shaoyang’s arm heavily.

He was still displeased that the Dragon God Shrine Master had tossed him out of the door, and he encountered Qin Shaoyang.

“Dui-level… top-tier?!”

Qin Shaoyang widened his eyes, astonished that Hao Ren had elevated from Zhen-level to top-tier Dui-level in the short period since they last met!

When he saw the golden token with the four-clawed golden dragon hanging on Hao Ren’s belt, he backed off three steps in shock!

In the strict system of the Dragon God Shrine, Qin Shaoyang, a level 3 inspector, had committed an offense by attacking a level 4 inspector!

“This…” Qin Shaoyang looked at Hao Ren in astonishment.

He wondered how Hao Ren had become a level 4 inspector with his current strength.

Hiss… Bang!

The golden shield which had been following Hao Ren closely spun and shot a golden light at Qin Shaoyang.

Not noticing this black shield which had been absorbing nature essence, Qin Shaoyang was hit on the shoulder by the sudden attack and fell to the ground!

Despite his Kun-level, he was no match for the supreme spiritual treasure which had elevated to a higher realm!

With his Kun-level, Qin Shaoyang could block the attack of an ordinary dharma treasure with his body, but the attack of the golden shield made him dizzy!

“How could it be like this! How come Hao Ren has become so powerful in such a short period!” Holding his shoulder in pain, Qin Shaoyang thought to himself when he realized that Hao Ren’s temperament had changed completely!

“Humph!” Hao Ren snorted and walked around Qin Shaoyang before heading toward the exit of the Dragon God Shrine.

Holding their breaths, the low-level inspectors in the hall looked at Qin Shaoyang from the corner of their eyes.

The dragon cultivators including inspectors were forbidden from fighting each other, but they had witnessed a level 3 inspector getting struck to the ground after challenging a level 4 inspector.

Qin Shaoyang used to be a level 4 inspector and a dominant figure in the Dragon God Shrine, but Hao Ren had made him fall with one attack!

Seeing the low-level inspectors sneaking glances at him, Qin Shaoyang gritted his teeth and stood up, but he almost stumbled at the acute pain in his shoulder.

Hao Ren had walked out of the gate, and a snow lion flew over from a distance and carried him to the sky.

“That black, crooked small shield seems to be my uncle-master’s Heaven-Reaching Shield…” Qin Shaoyang was deep in thought as he looked out of the gate.
