Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  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!

  Bang!

  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!

  316 Real Comba

  Although the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll progressed slowly, it was one of the most dependable and robust cultivation technique out there.

  One’s mind could manipulate the shape of the sword energies. Therefore, not only could Hao Ren form a sword array formation, but he could also create an essence missile!

  Bang!

  The essence missile shot out of Hao Ren’s hands, sweeping through the surrounding area and rushing toward the Dui-level cultivator whose name was Wang Hui!

  The arm-sized sword energy was like a huge missile that was going to destroy Wang Hui.

  Hao Ren, who released the essence missile, stayed in mid-air without moving an inch!

  Boom…

  The trees around the valley were shaking, and the leaves were falling continuously.

  The four Zhen-level cultivators had trouble standing still.

  Dirt and mud started falling back onto the ground.

  All they could see was that Wang Hui was laying in the middle of a deep hole, completely unconscious. His two large hammers were dropped on both sides of his body, deeply sunken into the soil.

  The four Zhen-level cultivators were utterly stunned as they saw the scene.

  “The attack of this Zhen-level cultivator defeated Wang Hui and made him unconscious?!” they thought.

  Hao Ren landed slowly on the side of the deep hole. The other Dui-level cultivator suddenly moved at the speed of light and appeared in front of Hao Ren in an instant. He picked Wang Hui up with one hand and fed him an essence replenish pill.

  Since the battle was over, Hao Ren didn’t want to pursue things further. He turned around and w
alked deeper into the valley as he was planning to find a place to practice the Two Dragons Array Formation.

  “Wait!” the Dui-level cultivator said suddenly.

  Hao Ren turned around and looked at him.

  The Dui-level cultivator put Wang Hui aside and stood up.

  Then, he raised his eyebrows and said confidently, “I dare you to fight me as well.”

  Shoo! Shoo!

  Little White started rolling around excitedly inside the necklace.

  Hao Ren could tell that this man’s aura was different compared to Wang Hui’s. If this person has been hiding his nature essence, it was unleashed at that moment.

  Dui-level; it was equal to human cultivators’ low-tier Nascent Soul Realm! It was also the realm where dragon cultivators could transform into dragons!

  Hao Ren turned his eyes to Wang Hui who was laying down; the light he had was now dimmer and pale. A Dui-level cultivator’s aura and the light he or she emitted shouldn’t change due to unconsciousness.

  Therefore, Hao Ren instantly figured out the reason.

  Wang Hui was trying to flaunt his superiority before the low-ranking cultivators. Although he was still on Gen-level, he did something to make his glow look like a Dui-level cultivator’s in order to gain respect from low-ranking cultivators.

  That was why Hao Ren easily defeated Wang Hui using only One-line Snake Array Formation.

  On the other hand, this cultivator did reach Dui-level! His aura could not be faked.

  Unlike Wang Hui, he was the young star of the Wuyi Mountain Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan. He has reached Zhen-level at the age of six, Gen-level at the age of ten. He was now 20 years of age and has already reached Dui-level! He lived in the deep mountains and was guided by a dozen elders at the same time.

  In the past few days, he finally got a chance to leave the mountain and visit his cousin, Wang Hui, in the East Ocean City. His cousin wanted to show him his prestige within the city and brought a few low-ranking cultivators to the martial arts dojo for a match… However, he didn’t expect to be knocked out by a Zhen-level cultivator!

  No matter how rude or arrogant Wang Hui was, he was still his cousin. They belonged to the same earth-elemental dragon clan, and they both were from the Wuyi Mountain. Being knocked out by a water-elemental dragon without mercy… That was absolutely intolerable!

  Wah…

  This earth-elemental dragon’s power suddenly appeared.

  The entire valley was filled with the force, and it was spreading from the true Dui-level cultivator, Wang Xi, to all directions!

  All the fallen leaves were swept away by the strong force, and it directly hit the border of the defensive array formation that was protecting this valley.

  The four Zhen-level cultivators were too scared to stay close; they ran as far as they could into the forest to witness this fight.

  Wang Hui, who just took an essence replenishment pill, finally awoke with dizziness.

  “You should go further away from here,” Wang Xi’s face turned dark as he said to Wang Hui.

  “Cousin! Help me teach him a lesson!” As Wang Hui realized that his Dui-level trickery had been revealed, he said to Wang Xi furiously.

  It was the Dui-level status that had gained him an extraordinary place among the circle of young cultivators at the University of Foreign Studies. Now that his true strength had been exposed, how was he going to face everyone at his school?

  Wang Xi ignored him and stared at Hao Ren coldly. “Apologize to my little cousin, and I will forget about what happened today.”

  Hao Ren’s expression was as calm as ever, and the sword energy in his hand was glowing brighter and brighter.

  Since he started cultivating, he had never fought against a Dui-level cultivator before. When he was using all his power a moment ago and thought that he could hold Wang Hui back for a bit longer, it turned out that Wang Hui was an imposter.

  Of course, there was no way that he would apologize to Wang Hui.

  Wang Hui rubbed his face as he reluctantly stood on a distant hilltop.

  Suddenly, only two people were left in the open valley, Hao Ren and Wang Xi.

  Just from the perspective of their cultivation strength, Hao Ren had unlocked 65 acupoints, and Wang Xi, who was already on Dui-level, had at least 232 openings already. Hao Ren was equivalent to a low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator, and Wang Xi was equal to a low-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

  Roar…

  Little White was released from Hao Ren’s necklace.

  By the time Little White had landed, it had transformed into a majestic snow lion.

  “Wo… Wo…”

  Little White’s eyes were wide open as it looked down and stared at Wang Xi with deterrence.

  “So, there is a spirit beast helping you to fight. I was going to fight you with my bare hands. Now, I am going to use my weapon.” Although Wang Xi was speaking in a cold way, his eyes revealed the high confidence he had in himself as a black longsword grew out of his palm.

  Wang Xi has always been the source of pride in the Wuyi Mountain Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan as he has never been defeated in all kinds of competitions.

  If his cousin, Wang Hui, were defeated by an earth-elemental dragon, it would be fine. However, since a Zhen-level water-elemental dragon beat Wang Hui, he felt like the pride of the earth-elemental dragons was hurt, and he had to gain it back!

  Although there were large numbers water-elemental dragons, earth-elemental dragons weren’t easy to mess with either!

  Because of that reason, Wang Xi started to move!

  An afterimage appeared at where he was standing, and the black sword turned into a black line as it chopped toward Hao Ren!

  Tang!

  An earth-shaking noise was made.

  Hao Ren took a few steps back as blood started rushing around in his chest.

  Although the sword array formations were extremely powerful, real combat was different from commanding and displaying the sword energies gracefully.

  After turning around, Wang Xi took another slash at Hao Ren with his black sword!

  Tong!

  Hao Ren’s sword energy collided with his black sword again.

  Even with his body that was tempered by heavenly lightning and trained by the fundamental boxing techniques, he still couldn’t bear the weight of the strike, and his feet created two deep pits on the ground and almost made him fall over!

  Waa…

  Simultaneously, the black sword changed its direction and slashed toward Hao Ren’s waistline!

  Three sword moves were made in one go!

  It was important to know that this Wang Xi, who bore the hope of the rejuvenation of the Wuyi Mountain Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan, spent 90 percent of his time training in the mountains. His swords skills were even better than Su Han’s!

  Little White formed a fireball inside its mouth anxiously. Yet, it didn’t know where to aim! Since Hao Ren and Wang Xi were engaged in close-range combat, Little White didn’t know what to do.

  Right at the moment when the black sword was about to slice through Hao Ren’s waist, ten sword energies suddenly appeared vertically and blocked the sword!

  The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll formed sword energies with one’s nature essence. In theory, Hao Ren could release swords energies from every pore on his body!

  Tong, tong, tong, tong…

  Wang Xi’s black sword directly cut through the ten weak sword energies.

  Bang! Two grey sword energies appeared under Hao Ren’s feet and lifted him as he started flying!

  Wang Xi was a bit shocked.

  However, with the strength of Dui-level, he didn’t need to rely on external items to fly. He flew into the air and chased after Hao Ren like a meteor!

  “Little White!” Hao Ren yelled.

  Little White, who understood Hao Ren very well, jumped into the air and lifted Hao Ren higher with its back!

  Wang Xi missed his stab, so he changed his direction
in mid-air and shot a sword energy out with the black sword!

  Roar!

  Little White spat out the fireball from its mouth immediately!

  Everyone in the valley felt the heat wave as the leaves in the valley were all burned in an instant!

  It was at this moment that Hao Ren released all his sword energies at the same time. All 160 sword energies formed the Two Dragons Array Formation!

  With a much greater power compared to the One-line Snake Array Formation, the sword energies turned into two dragons as they dashed out of the water and toward Wang Xi!

  Wang Xi’s black sword shot out close to 100 black sword energies, but Hao Ren still had more. Along with Little White’s fireball, an earth-breaking force rushed toward Wang Xi…

  The sword array formation went straight through Wang Xi’s defense and directly hit the mountain behind him.

  Boom… Boom…

  The hills on both sides of the valley started to collapse, and the defensive array formation protecting this valley began to tremble!

  Wang Xi was blown backward by the force of the Two Dragons Array Formation. He finally steadied himself by stabbing his sword into the side of a hill.

  Five cultivators, including Wang Hui, were all flabbergasted.

  Not only because they saw the power of a Dui-level cultivator, but also because a Zhen-level cultivator was able to fight neck to neck with a Dui-level cultivator!

  A hundred sixty sword energies were hovering in mid-air, and Little White rolled its head and stared at Wang Xi angrily.

  Wang Hui, who was hiding behind a hilltop that just collapsed, looked at the gleaming 160 sword energies and was completely frightened.

  Hao Ren held back a little of his strength when he was fighting Wang Hui. If he released 160 sword energies, ten Wang Hui couldn’t even be able to defeat him.

  It wasn’t hard to control a sword but controlling 160 sword energies that were made of five different elemental essences was hard. Strong mental power and strength were needed to manage all 160 sword energies at the same time.

  Ordinary cultivators could only close their eyes and face their deaths when 160 sword energies were flying toward them at the same time!

  The two Zhen-level female cultivators couldn’t help but be in awe of Hao Ren’s heroic posture as he rode the snow lion and controlled many sword energies.
