Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  To give Xu Ke a significant blow, it was not enough to take away his supreme spiritual treasure temporarily. Instead, Hao Ren must make the supreme spiritual treasure his!

  The seemingly open and straightforward Xu Ke was not a submissive sheep! He was baring his fangs by announcing his intention of taking away Hao Ren’s techniques by force. His mild tone showed his contempt for Hao Ren’s strength and confidence in his background!

  Hao Ren wanted to see how Xu Ke would react if he could use this golden shield!

  570 Only the Strong and Intelligent Deserved Valuable Treasures

  It was dark, and all the dorms had quieted down.

  Hao Ren had practiced the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Technique ten times. Then, he sensed that Zhao Jiayi and the other guys were already asleep, so he lightly jumped off his upper berth and landed on the floor. Then, he went over to open the balcony door.

  After he got outside, he flew toward Fifth Heaven.

  The boat that was transformed from the purple gold hairpin was incredibly fast.

  At this moment, the purple gold hairpin did not have the fierce aura it showcased on the sports field when fighting with that golden shield. It was now only a flight dharma treasure that operated off nature essence.

  It was also dead quiet inside Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven.

  Once Hao Ren entered the valley, he dashed into his cave abode.

  Right now, the golden shield was hurrying around in Hao Ren’s necklace.

  Hao Ren threw the purple gold hairpin into the cave, and it started to glow from the ground, covering Hao Ren’s cave abode with a bright provocative purple light.

  This was a terrorizing small array formation.

  Hao Ren had got everything prepared before he took the golden shield out from his necklace. Once the golden shield got its freedom back, it immediately flew toward the direction of the entrance.

  The small purple gold hairpin stood at the entrance, not budging an inch. When this golden shield flew over, it realized something was not right, so it immediately turned back.

  Hao Ren’s cave abode was simple, and it only had one entrance. Therefore, when this golden shield flew back, it was planning to break through Hao Ren’s cave from another side and flew out of the mountains.

  There was no way that Hao Ren would let it do as it wished, so he let out a metal-elemental sword energy.

  Ding… The sword energy hit the surface of the golden shield and was immediately bounced off. This was a supreme spiritual treasure after all. Even if it were scared and injured by the purple gold hairpin, it was not something Hao Ren could defeat with one sword energy.

  When Hao Ren shot out more than a dozen sword energies, the small array formation that Zhen Congming set up in the cave above was initiated.

  Zhen Congming had set up this small array formation for Hao Ren so that the latter could train using the lightning cultivation. Now that Hao Ren had initiated the array formation, the gems that were stuck on the cave’s ceiling started to light up one by one.

  Clouds started to accumulate, and a small heavenly lightning bolt shot out.

  When the golden shield was about to break through the mountains, a heavenly lightning bolt shot from the clouds and hit it.

  Bang!

  The lightning started to fade away, but the golden shield was unscratched.

  “It is truly worthy of being called a supreme spiritual treasure!” Hao Ren watched quietly in shock.

  Heavenly lightning was also known as innate Tiangang; it could damage any of the five elements. However, this supreme spiritual treasure was obviously above the five elements; it was not even scared of the heavenly lightning.

  If it weren’t for the purple gold hairpin, this golden shield would have probably gotten out!

  Hao Ren shot out more sword energies, increasing the intensity of the array formations in the cave abode.

  Crack! Crack! Crack!

  Three heavenly lightning bolts that were as thick as a thumb were shot down from the clouds.

  Inside the cave, there were currently two targets, Hao Ren and the golden shield. The heavenly lightning would choose the strongest to target first.

  Bang! The golden shield split into three smaller shields to withstand the power of the three heavenly lightning bolts.

  Hao Ren had heard about supreme spiritual treasures from the Lu sisters. To become a supreme spiritual treasure, one condition was to serve a great cultivator for many years and accumulate energy for an extended period of time. That would strengthen the dharma treasure and even allow it to have some spiritual properties. However, the most important condition was that it had to follow a cultivator through a Heavenly Tribulation.

  Only those that had spiritual properties and successfully went through a Heavenly Tribulation without being melted down by the heavenly lightning bolts could become the king of treasures, supreme spiritual treasures.

  There were stories about powerful dharma treasures that had spiritual properties. When some of them were passed down to weaker cultivators from their stronger former masters, they broke free from the weaker cultivators ‘commands, triggered Heavenly Tribulations, and became supreme spiritual treasures themselves before flying to Eighth or Ninth Heaven!

  “Still not obeying…” Hao Ren shot out more sword energies.

  Pa, pa, pa, pa… Tens of thin heavenly lightning bolts were shot onto the golden shield.

  There were a few heavenly lightning bolts that shot toward Hao Ren as well, but he absorbed them.

  The golden shield buzzed, and it was struck down by half a meter.

  It was a supreme spiritual treasure that had been through a Heavenly Tribulation, and this level of heavenly lightning bolts was incapable of giving it a destructive blow. However, heavenly lightning bolts were still powerful after all. It was still impossible for the golden shield to be totally unharmed when multiple heavenly lightning bolts struck it continuously.

  Buzz… The golden shield flew fast toward Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren used both hands to initiate a technique and released the 320 sword energies.

  The small array formation in the cave above was used to its limit, and tens of heavenly lightning bolts were shot out simultaneously. If Xie Yujia were completely in control of her elixir furnace, then Hao Ren mastered this array formation in his cave abode.

  If Hao Ren were the only thing in the cave abode, then all the lightning bolts would target him. However, the supreme spiritual treasure was stronger than him, so it acted as a shield for Hao Ren against the heavenly lightning.

  All the peak Qian-level cultivators wanted powerful dharma treasures for the same reason; the powerful dharma treasures could take on some of the heavenly lightning bolts during the Heavenly Tribulation.

  Zhao Kuo was overly confident and wanted to pass the Heavenly Tribulation by himself without a treasure; that was why he failed.

  The golden shield wanted to attack Hao Ren but stopped halfway because it was suddenly hit with tens of heavenly lightning bolts; it almost fell to the ground and got dirty.

  Buzz!

  The golden shield let out a loud buzz, stopping the tens of thumb-sized heavenly lightning bolts.

  Hao Ren waved both hands and was about to let out more heavenly lightning bolts. However, he hesitated for half a second and suddenly stopped.

  “OK. OK. Even if I use an array formation to tame you, you won’t be convinced. Since you aren’t willing to follow me, I won’t force you.” Hao Ren pulled back his sword energies and then opened his necklace. “Come into my space and have a good rest. I won’t try to tame you now.”

  Buzz! Buzz!

  The golden shield was floating in Hao Ren’s cave abode, and it let out a proud golden light. It was unwilling to obey Hao Ren but was also aware of the purple gold hairpin, so it was scared to charge out.

  Hao Ren took this opportunity to observe this supreme spiritual treasure carefully. He discovered that other than the shining golden light, there was nothing spec
ial about this golden shield. It didn’t even have any designs on it; it was almost a golden plate.

  Circles of golden light spun around the edge of the golden shield, and the shield surface looked brand-new and unharmed even though tens of heavenly lightning bolts struck it.

  Hao Ren felt that the golden shield would never obey him even if he hit it with many more heavenly lightning bolts.

  Hao Ren thought it was too brutal if he harmed its spiritual property and was a waste of something great. That was why he waved his hand and said, “I won’t hurt you, but I won’t let you rampage around either.”

  Buzz… The golden shield let out an even stronger golden light that was a few inches wider. It wasn’t like Little White and couldn’t understand Hao Ren’s words. Instead, it could only sense whether Hao Ren had good or bad intentions.

  Supreme spiritual treasures would choose their owners; it was the instinct of the treasures.

  The treasures wanted to get strong cultivators who had matching elemental attributes to be their owners; that was how they could get even more powerful.

  Hao Ren reached out his left hand and watched it quietly.

  Only those who were strong and intelligent deserved such valuable treasures!

  The purple gold hairpin quietly stood in front of the cave entrance as if it were a door guardian. The golden shield had lost to the purple gold hairpin but not to Hao Ren.

  However, the purple gold hairpin didn’t want to join Hao Ren’s mission of taming the treasure.

  Bang… Bang… The golden shield let out a series of loud noises and spun slowly as if it were hesitating.

  The supreme spiritual treasures could also choose a friend but not a master! They could follow cultivators but not be tamed by them!

  However, during these thousands of years, the weakest cultivator that this golden shield had followed was a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

  571 Status as the President~

  Shu! Shu! Shu! The golden shield let out a bright golden light. Then, it turned into the size of a coin and slowly flew toward Hao Ren’s palm.

  Hao Ren wasn’t the strong cultivator whom it sought, but he was a cultivator that it could stay with safely. Also, since the space inside Hao Ren’s necklace was dense with nature essence, it could slowly restore its powers there.

  “Haha!” Hao Ren laughed. He looked down at the golden shield in his palm and realized that this golden shield had lessened the amount of nature essence it released; it looked like a button made of pure gold. He lightly threw this button-like shield into his necklace.

  If this golden shield still wanted to fight, Hao Ren wouldn’t use heavenly lightning to damage its spiritual property. Instead, he would give it to Zhen Congming so that the latter could create a unique formation array to seal up this supreme spiritual treasure.

  Since this golden shield did not fight with Hao Ren anymore, this indicated that it recognized Hao Ren’s powers a little. Now that this golden shield was willing to staying in Hao Ren’s necklace temporally, Hao Ren didn’t need to beg Zhen Congming to do something for him. Otherwise, he would have to tolerate Zhen Congming’s terrible attitude.

  What Hao Ren did not know was that these types of supreme spiritual treasure were not supposed to be tamed but instead worshiped by cultivators who were weaker.

  When Xu Ke’s master gave the golden shield to Xu Ke, he ordered Xu Ke to feed it with nature essence every day. If Xu Ke weren’t desperate to get Hao Ren’s technique, he would not use this treasure!

  If Xu Ke’s master knew that Hao Ren forced this treasure to compromise and stay with him, he would be so shocked that his teeth might fall out!

  Although Hao Ren had not tamed it so that it wouldn’t follow his orders, it was still staying with Hao Ren peacefully and quietly!

  Similarly, Su Han didn’t think that Hao Ren would stupidly try to tame the supreme spiritual treasure; she had thought he would find a safe place to put it!

  Even Su Han who was at top-tier Qian-level didn’t have absolute confidence that she could tame the supreme spiritual treasure! Even if she were able to tame it temporarily, it would run away when it recovered its power!

  “Go!”

  Hao Ren waved and called over the purple gold hairpin. He saw the color of the sky outside the valley and realized it was already dawn. However, the snow lion cubs were still sleeping together, so he stepped on the purple gold hairpin and left the valley.

  The purple gold hairpin was a treasure that Lady Zhen would keep very close to her. Hao Ren could only use it purely as a flight dharma treasure. It only attacked the golden shield last night because it sensed the threatening aura of the supreme spiritual treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have.

  When Hao Ren went back to his dorm, the other three were still sound asleep. He quietly brushed his teeth and washed his face. Then, he took his textbooks and went to class just like a regular student.

  “I don’t know who it was, but someone destroyed the sports field near the west gate yesterday…”

  “Yeah. The school is investigating it. I heard it was destroyed in the middle of the night…”

  Hao Ren heard the students discuss in the cafeteria.

  Hao Ren blushed slightly; he didn’t mean to destroy the field. Lu Qi had filled the holes, but the grasses couldn’t be regrown that fast. That was why it looked like all the grasses were upheaved.

  There would be a school announcement really soon. Depending on how Vice Principal Lu might deal with the situation, the perpetrator may or may not be found. Summer break had just ended, and it was time that this field would get fixed up…

  Hao Ren ate some pancakes and drank a cup of soy milk in the cafeteria.

  He felt like many students, especially the girls, were looking at him in the cafeteria.

  Of these girls, some were dragon cultivators while others were normal students.

  Those female dragon cultivators looked at Hao Ren with admiration. The reason they joined the Calligraphy Club in the first place was that Hao Ren was an inspector. However, after witnessing Hao Ren’s intense fight with Xu Ke last night, they understood Hao Ren’s real strength and respected him even more.

  Those normal girls looked at Hao Ren because he suddenly looked different. Not only did Huang Xujie have to yield to him, but the Calligraphy Club had suddenly become very popular. They now felt like Hao Ren was a legendary person.

  Regardless of whether they were ordinary girls or female dragon cultivators, they all regretted not trying to get to know Hao Ren better before.

  They had never thought that such a no-name would be in the spotlight all of a sudden. Hao Ren had even become the ‘handsome man in the shirt’ that many girls admired!

  If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were the most popular girls at the school, then Hao Ren had become the most popular guy at the school after this new semester began.

  Hao Ren didn’t care about the looks he got in the cafeteria. Instead, he cultivated his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll while eating his breakfast quietly. After he finished, he carried his empty plates to the window.

  “Brother Hao! Brother Hao!”

  The girls of the Calligraphy Club all waved at Hao Ren when he passed by.

  “Did you see that. That’s Tan Qing, the fourth-year student who is being pursued by more than ten students. Even she is nice to Hao Ren!”

  “That’s Liu Yan, a second-year student. She’s the most popular girl in the Business Program. Look how sweet her smile is when she’s smiling at Hao Ren!”

  When some girls saw other girls greeting Hao Ren enthusiastically, they started chattering.

  “Hi…” Hao Ren looked at them and slightly nodded. Then, he took his textbooks and walked out of the cafeteria.

  Over half of the dragon cultivators in East Ocean University were female. These female cultivators had good looks and smooth skin; they were overall very pretty and had rejected many guys who passionately pursued them.

  They had all joined Hao Ren�
�s Calligraphy Club, making it famous for having so many beautiful members. That was why it was righteously known as the ‘Beauty Club.’

  These girls all respected Hao Ren very much. Even fourth-year students were humble and called Hao Ren, Brother Hao. This situation made Hao Ren appear even more mysterious in front of other girls.

  Who was the most popular guy at East Ocean University now?

  It was Hao Ren!

  The girls had felt that becoming Huang Xujie’s girlfriend would put them in the spotlight at the school. However, no one wanted Huang Xujie anymore.

  If someone could defeat the beautiful Xie Yujia and then surpass the Lu sisters, becoming Hao Ren’s girlfriend, that would truly be an incredible move!

  Hao Ren walked pass half of the campus and reached Academic Building C for class.

  Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters were already sitting in the classroom, and they had saved a spot for Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren walked over and put his textbooks on the desk before exhaling.

  “What’s wrong? Are you tired?” Xie Yujia asked softly.

  “It’s nothing…” Hao Ren shook his head. “How was yesterday? There weren’t any problems sending Zhao Yanzi to school, right?”

  “It was great. I even went to school and visited my old teachers.” Xie Yujia smiled and then suddenly asked, “It was you who destroyed the field, right?”

  “Yeah. I tried testing that Xu Ke.”

  “How was it?” Xie Yujia asked.

  “He didn’t give his all. However, I did get one treasure from him,” Hao Ren answered.

  Xie Yujia went to a quiet spot to cultivate last night, so she didn’t know that Hao Ren and Xu Ke battled.

  However, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were able to see through the array formation and saw the whole process of Hao Ren taking Xu Ke’s treasure from their balcony.

  Xu Ke’s treasure was strong.

  However, because they were far away, they only saw that Xu Ke and Hao Ren were tired. They thought that Xu Ke was better at controlling dharma treasures and didn’t know he had a supreme spiritual treasure.

  That was why when Hao Ren said that he took a treasure from Xu Ke, they didn’t ask anything but just smiled.
