Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Huang Xujie slowly walked over, but Little White didn’t mind him and just continued playing with its stick.

  “Super…” Huang Xujie looked around and didn’t see any other students around.

  Most of the exams at East Ocean University had ended this morning, so the majority of students had already gone home. The girls who usually went to the grasses behind the library to feed Little White were no longer in sight.

  Huang Xujie had been training at the famous Sun Yun Martial Art Dojo, so he was agiler than before. He swooped over to catch the rolling dog.

  “Hao Ren’s pet dog… Even though I can’t do anything to Hao Ren, I can eat his dog!”

  Huang Xujie smiled evilly. He was about to take Little White to his car, but Little White struggled hard.

  “You useless little dog want to escape?” Huang Xujie couldn’t help but be full of himself.

  He had failed because of Hao Ren a few times. However, since Hao Ren came from a better background than him, he couldn’t have his vengeance, so he was furious. The little dog was just the right thing for him to vent his anger.

  “Especially since Hao Ren is always around this little dog, he must love this dog very much. If he loses it, he must feel very sad!”

  Huang Xujie opened his car door and was about to throw Little White inside.

  Roar!

  Little White, who was only the size of a palm, suddenly turned into a fierce white lion!

  This snow-white lion was bigger than the Benz s350!

  Huang Xujie opened his eyes wide, and his legs felt weak.

  Bam! He sat helplessly on the cement floor.

  “Monster…” His head was blank. The harder he thought, the emptier it was.

  When he quickly rubbed his eye, he saw a little white dog.

  This little dog left him as it ran away with its round butt, wriggling its tail. It jumped right into a pretty female student who was walking by the library, and it bit that girl’s fingers lightly to get her attention.

  “Sh*t! It must be that my head is too blank after the exams. I must have a hallucination!”

  Huang Xujie rushed to get up from the ground and into his car.

  He restarted the S350’s engine, but he discovered that there was a dent in the shape of a large paw print on top of the engine cover.

  It was a Mercedes that was worth more than one million yuan!

  Huang Xujie touched his pants and discovered it was all wet! He had been so scared that he peed himself, and he also fainted for a moment there.

  When he saw the dog happily racing across the plaza in front of the library, he no longer could tell what it was!

  “The dent in the front of the car might have been from a student who doesn’t like me, and he hit my car with a rock when I fainted momentarily!

  Little White played in the East Ocean University campus freely.

  Now, Hao Ren and Su Han had reached the Dragon God Shrine.

  The enormous round platform that was supporting the Dragon God Shrine let out a mysterious light.

  This was the most complex array formation on First Heaven. It far exceeded the four ocean dragon palaces’ protection array formation.

  According to the agreement made hundreds of years ago, the dragon cultivators and the human cultivators had their own territories. However, they were still cautious toward each other.

  If a large-scale war were to break out, the Dragon God Shrine would be the Dragon Tribe’s military headquarters. This type of complex defense formation array was therefore necessary.

  “If you don’t have your token, you can’t see the array formation unless you have reached Qian-level or Kun-level, or you have extraordinary spiritual senses,” Su Han explained to Hao Ren as they rode on her sword and entered the place.

  As they crossed the array formation, the token on Hao Ren’s waist flashed once.

  This was an inspector’s token. Each inspector would only have one and would need to use nature essence to activate it. It was basically a natal dharma treasure. If the inspector died, the token would self-explode; if the inspector were seriously injured, the token would also react. There was no need to worry about other cultivators stealing an inspector’s identity to try to sneak into the Dragon God Shrine.

  The array formation around the Dragon God Shrine would only open a few layers during the few days around the Dragon Boat Festival for the Dragon God Shrine’s general exams.

  However, those few days were when the Dragon God Shrine was the strongest. The inspectors who worked outside returned, and plenty of dragon cultivators could be here

  During this time, even if the array formation were a few layers weaker, the human cultivators would not dare to invade the Dragon God Shrine.

  Usually, a regular cultivator would not be able to see the Dragon God Shrine, just like how a mortal would not see the energy sphere cultivators created.

  The red energy spheres of dragon cultivators were extremely powerful techniques to mortals, and the Dragon God Shrine’s array formation was also extraordinary to those cultivators who were below Kun-level.

  When they crossed the energy sphere, they saw that the rooms that were used for the exams and the buildings that were used for residence during the exams were quite; no one could be seen.

  The Dragon God Shrine only opened to the public once a year. That was why these places were quiet right now. Of course, if a large-scale war were to happen between the dragon cultivators and the human cultivators, the Dragon God Shrine would become the headquarters, and a lot of dragon cultivators would be able to be fit in here.

  There was a black wall surrounding the outer city, the battling arenas were in between the war and the core Dragon God Shrine.

  After some reconstruction, the damage done during the combat exams had been restored.

  The east exam area that was wiped to the ground by Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo now was restored to its original form. It had 25 small arenas there.

  Hao Ren, who was standing on Su Han’s jade longsword, couldn’t help but remember the fierce battles he had fought.

  Every year, talented inspectors would be chosen from the winning dragon cultivators. Hao Ren didn’t fight until the last battle, but he had proved himself to the Dragon God Shrine.

  Near the Dragon God Shrine were a few inspectors riding on their dharma treasures. They were flying around, but the number of inspectors was much less compared to during the exams.

  They landed by the east entrance of the Dragon God Shrine.

  Su Han pulled back her White Jade Sword and turned to face Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren was a bit nervous when she looked at him. Strictly speaking, only official inspectors could enter the Dragon God Shrine.

  During this year’s exams, the people from East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan had gone inside to discuss businesses, and that was the only exception.

  Asides from that incident, the dragon kings and the former dragon kings were not allowed inside.

  Hao Ren was a level 3 inspector, so he should be able to go in.

  “Hu…” Hao Ren took a deep breath. It was the first time he was entering the Dragon God Shrine.

  466 Dragon Tribe’s Central Agency

  The towering Dragon God Shrine looked similar to the grand tower in the Nine Dragon Palace. In fact, the Dragon God Shrine, which was in the center of the floating platform, was based on the Nine Dragon Palace.

  No matter how grand the Dragon God Shrine was, it was unable to exceed the presence that the magnificent Nine Dragon Palace. If the Nine Dragon Palace were East Ocean City, then the Dragon God Shrine’s platform would only be a piece of land in the East Ocean City, and the Dragon God Shrine would be a skyscraper on top of that land.

  The Dragon God Shrine was made of innumerable pieces of black stones. Hao Ren felt a shiver down his spine as soon as he stepped inside.

  These black stones were not ordinary materials. Many cultivators would admire the Dragon God Shrine just by the materials that it
was made from; the power of the Dragon God Shrine was extraordinary. These materials were used to form numerous array formations, turning the Dragon God Shrine into a large dharma treasure!

  “Each area inside the Dragon God Shrine has specified access levels, so you can’t just go running around.” Su Han turned around and instructed Hao Ren as she walked inside.

  “Ok.” Hao Ren nodded, and he observed the inside of the Dragon God Shrine as he walked.

  The interior was all made from black stones, and it let out shivering waves of cold air. The more inward Hao Ren got, the colder it was; Hao Ren couldn’t help but shiver.

  Then, he immediately started to use the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to warm himself up.

  Aside from the ice-cold temperature, the rooms were standard, so it gave a dull impression. From the outside, the Dragon God Shrine was a square building. Who knew that everything, including the pillars, was square-shaped even inside the building.

  “Actually, every zone in the East Ocean Dragon Palace had specified access levels. Since you’re related of Zhao Guang, no one would block you,” Su Han said.

  Hao Ren turned around and looked at Su Han as she continued, “In the Dragon God Shrine, no matter what royal background you came from, you’re only a level 3 inspector. If you do anything wrong, the Dragon God Shrine has the power to punish you.”

  Su Han looked serious, making Hao Ren feel very nervous.

  The East Ocean Dragon Palace valued relationships, but the Dragon God Shrine was stricter with rules. This could be shown by Qin Shaoyang who was from the Metal-Elemental Dragon Clan; he was arrogant but never dared to disobey the Dragon God Shrine’s rules.

  In Su Han’s case, she was a Qian-level cultivator. Because of what happened in the East Ocean, she was demoted to a level 3 inspector without exception.

  Inspectors having special privileges also meant that the Dragon God Shrine bounded them.

  Click, click, click… Su Han’s heels made a series of crisp sounds as she walked on the black stone floor inside the Dragon God Shrine.

  “Take your token out and put it by your waist,” Su Han said.

  Hao Ren followed her orders and took out his inspector’s token from inside his body. He suddenly realized that the token had turned yellow when they came inside.

  The inspectors coming toward them had white tokens by their waists.

  These few inspectors respectfully cleared a path for them to pass through.

  “The tokens all look similar outside the Dragon God Shrine. What’s different is the number of golden dragon claws carved on it. However, when you’re inside the Dragon God Shrine, the tokens will appear in different colors; white for level 1 inspectors, silver for level 2 inspectors, yellow for level 3 inspectors, and golden for level 4 inspectors.”

  Su Han continued to explain. With her personality, she didn’t like speaking much. Since it was the first time Hao Ren entered the Dragon God Shrine, she had to give him some explanation.

  Of course, this rare patience was only toward Hao Ren.

  “I recommend you put your token out when you’re in the Dragon God Shrine. Different levels have different access restrictions,” Su Han said.

  When they were talking, a level 4 inspector walked by. Su Han waved and said hi, but he only lightly nodded and walked by. He didn’t even look at Hao Ren.

  “In the Dragon God Shrine, higher-leveled inspectors could command lower-leveled inspectors to do stuff. Normally though, the level 4 inspectors only command level 1 and level 2 inspectors, so you probably don’t need to worry about that,” Su Han continued to explain to Hao Ren as they walked, “And since you’re mine, I don’t think any level 4 inspectors will dare to make you do anything.”

  “You’re mine…” Hao Ren was stunned.

  Su Han’s words were calm, but the underlying meaning was domineering!

  In the whole inspector system, there weren’t that many level 4 inspectors. Su Han was almost the strongest amongst all the level 4 inspectors before, so all the other level 4 inspectors recognized Su Han. That was why even when Su Han was demoted to a level 3 inspector, they would still pay Su Han some respect.

  Su Hao led Hao Ren into a small room.

  Inside the room sat an old man who looked a bit like Premier Xia. He had wrinkles all over his face and looked ancient.

  “Elder Luo,” Su Han said has she led Hao Ren in.

  “This is…” The old cultivator whose last name was Luo said as he squinted at Hao Ren.

  “He’s the new level 3 inspector, Hao Ren. I brought him here to register,” Su Han said.

  “Oh… I remember now… He was your assisting inspector.” The old cultivator nodded. “Han, you never had assisting inspectors before. This was a first.”

  Assisting inspectors were not allowed inside the Dragon God Shrine but were still required to be registered, which would be done by their supervising inspectors.

  Hao Ren jumping from assisting inspector to a level 3 inspector was a significant change, so this old cultivator who oversaw registration knew of him. However, he never expected the new level 3 inspector to be this young.

  “He’s also now the regional inspector at the East Ocean City,” Su Han said.

  “Understood. Understood.” The old cultivator handed Hao Ren an ink brush and pointed at the name registry. “Sign here.”

  Hao Ren held the brush and used nature essence on it. The tip of the ink brush turned stiff, like a fountain pen, and Hao Ren wrote his name using it.

  The old cultivator reached out to lightly touch the token by Hao Ren’s waist. Tens of light dots shined on the yellow token but then disappeared immediately.

  “You’re a new inspector, so let me explain. I have not only the registry but also different missions you could take.” The old cultivator took out a thick book and put it in front of Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren flipped open the book, and on it were lines and lines of missions for the inspectors.

  He flipped to the recent records and saw that some had already been completed.

  [The Wuyi Mountain couldn’t deal with the 100-year-old Demon Bees, and they requested help from the Dragon God Shrine… Level 3 inspector, Ye Feijing, had taken on the mission… He had killed all the bees on February 16th, Year Xinmao.]

  [Xun-level cultivator, Kong Ling, had caused great disruption and deaths at the West Ocean’s Thousand Spirit Island… Level 4 inspector, Hong Fangyang, took on the mission… Kong Ling was caught and imprisoned on March 6th, Year Xinmao.]

  [A spirit stone was discovered by ordinary researchers at the 1825 Art District of the East Ocean City… Level 2 inspector, Mo Xie, took on the mission… He destroyed the spirit stone on April 3, Year Xinmao.]

  Hao Ren’s eyes brightened when he saw this.

  That spirit stone was the one he accidentally dropped on the roof.

  “Didn’t it end up being sent to the country’s research centers?” Hao Ren thought.

  It seemed like an inspector had destroyed the spirit stone, and the one in the research center was probably just an ordinary rock that replaced the one that was destroyed. No results would come out now from the research.

  “Let’s go, Hao Ren.” Su Han tapped Hao Ren.

  Inspectors can improve their contribution by taking on missions that were set out by the Dragon God Shrine. The inspectors would receive specific rewards for their missions, as well as gaining some experience from the job. However, Su Han thought Hao Ren would be better off sticking to his usual training for now.

  “The stamp has been unlocked. Han, bring him over,” the old cultivator said.

  “Thanks, Elder Luo,” Su Han said politely and led Hao Ren out of the room.

  “What did the blinks on the token resemble?” Hao Ren asked softly.

  “It’s your first time at the Dragon God Shrine, and your authorization will only be unlocked when you register here. Otherwise, you’ll fall into the many traps ahead,” Su Han said.

  Hao Ren was secretly shocke
d by how well the defense of the Dragon God Shrine was.

  Even the strong cultivators who were able to duplicate inspector’s token to trick the array formations and enter the Dragon God Shrine would not be able to reach deep inside.

  This old man acted as the first guard on the first-floor lobby of the Dragon God Shrine. Any new inspectors who enter the Dragon God Shrine for the first time must go to him so that he could recognize their faces and grant them access according to their respective levels.

  “What realm is he on? I couldn’t tell,” Hao Ren asked.

  “Qian,” Su Han responded calmly.

  “Hiss…” Hao Ren gasped and thought, “The Dragon God Shrine sure is powerful! Eve a guard is on Qian-level!”

  “There are many powerful people here at the Dragon God Shrine. It’s better not to do anything recklessly.” Su Han warned Hao Ren as she saw right through him.

  Su Han led Hao Ren to a staircase that was also made of black stone. Beside the stairs was a square pillar that had a two-clawed golden dragon mark on it.

  “The two-clawed golden dragon mark means that we are going into the area accessible to only inspectors who are level 2 or beyond,” Su Han said.

  Hao Ren followed Su Han up the stairs. He looked back at the lobby and thought to himself, “Level 1 inspectors could only stay on the first floor of the Dragon God Shrine.”

  Except for that old man’s room where inspectors could take on missions, there were only some lounges for communication and resting on the first floor.

  Those cultivators who risked their lives to become inspectors would typically become level 1 inspectors. With the identity of inspector, they would be able to enter the Dragon God Shrine and have the opportunity to get different missions.

  Even enough it was just that, all the dragon cultivators fought day and night for these few spots. This only went to show the difference in resources between the big forces and small forces.

  “Don’t you think that there’s something different in the Dragon God Shrine compared with the outside?” Su Hao asked as she continued walking.

  “Different…” Hao Ren went blank for a moment and then started to think about it in more depth.
