When Hao Ren returned to the ground, he suddenly realized that Xie Yujia had called him over ten times.
He hesitated for a few seconds but still called her back.
After only a few rings, Xie Yujia picked up the phone.
âWhere are you?â Xie Yujia sounded a bit anxious.
âItâs ok. Iâm with Linlin and Lili,â Hao Ren said.
âOK⦠as long as youâre safe.â Xie Yujia let out a sigh of relief.
That red light enveloped the city, so Xie Yujia was worried that it had to do with Hao Ren. Then, she got anxious because Hao Ren wouldnât pick up the phone no matter how many times she called.
She was relieved to hear that Hao Ren was safe and sound.
âGo to bed early,â Hao Ren said a few more soothing words before he hung up the phone.
He patted his pocket and felt the four realm-breaking notes.
He didnât expect these realm-breaking notes to be so powerfulâ¦
Hao Ren held the dharma notes and looked at them carefully under the schoolâs street lights.
The notepaper was made of unique red sandpaper, and there were layers and layers of small granules on it. It felt a bit fuzzy when you touched it.
The patterns on the dharma note were drawn with golden ink, and they shined under the street lights.
The patterns of the dharma notes werenât very complicated but let out a mysterious feeling. On the back of the dharma notes were the five-clawed golden dragons of the Dragon God Shrine, which meant that it was Yue Zilongâs.
âI wonder if Yujia can draw such a dharma noteâ¦â Hao Ren thought to himself.
The essence-locking notes could seal the opponentâs nature essence while the realm-breaking notes could unlock the seal of a formation array. If these two could be used together, there would be a great effect.
âGongziâ¦â
The Lu sisters called him when they saw that Hao Ren was in deep thoughts under the street lights.
âOk!â Hao Ren turned around and looked at them and said, âYou guys can go back and get some rest first. Iâm fine.â
The Lu sisters had initially wanted to stay with Hao Ren for a bit longer. Even when he faced an opponent of peak Qian-level, Hao Ren still didnât ring the bell. This made the Lu sisters very worried.
Since Hao Ren didnât ring the bell during this emergency, they couldnât tell if he were in danger by the bell. If they hadnât come for Hao Ren when they noticed that the sky changed drastically, they would not have known that he was in danger.
In reality, Hao Ren knew that the appearance of Wang Shitong would not be overlooked by Yue Zilong, a deputy shrine master. That was the reason why Hao Ren didnât want to get the Lu sisters involved.
Also, he knew that the Lu sistersâ realm had dropped a bit, so he was worried that they wouldnât be safe when they were to face a peak Qian-level cultivator.
âIf anything happens to Gongzi, please call upon us!â Lu Linlin still looked very worried about Hao Ren.
âI know!â Hao Ren smiled helplessly.
Lu Lili was also worried about Hao Ren. She looked at him but finally pouted while holding onto Lu Linlinâs hand. Together, they walked towards their dormitory.
Hao Ren watched their beautiful figures disappear. Then, he looked down and smiled before walking toward the sports field.
The Lu sisters had lowered their pride by a lot for him and were always by his side. However, Hao Ren didnât treat them as his maids and also didnât have the habit of commanding them to do things for him.
He didnât have one tiny bit of nature essence in him right now, but conversely, he felt a rare sense of relaxation.
The grasses on the field next to the swimming arena had been redone. Hao Ren looked up to the moon and started to wave intensely.
The fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Palace!
This technique did not require any nature essence; all you needed was perseverance and physical strength. Hao Ren stepped on the grass and punched out.
Not only could he train his body, but he could also toughen his mentality!
Wang Shitong and Yue Zilong were both at peak Qian-level. When Hao Ren saw how Yue Zilong beat up Wang Shitong so badly that Wang Shitong couldnât even lift his head, he was a bit moved.
A powerful person could beat an opponent of many skills! Yue Zilong used ferocious punches. He used offense as a type of defense and even extinguished Wang Shitongâs aura with his punches!
In only tens of punches, sweat had soaked up Hao Renâs back. Hao Ren had used full power in every single blow, and the air-piercing sounds made by his punches were resonant.
Although he had lost his nature essence, Hao Renâs martial arts skill was still exceptional. The speed and power of his punches could easily defeat the worldâs boxing champions.
If he could increase his power by just a little, he could raise his right of expressing himself by a little too!
Hao Ren jumped up a bit and practiced the set of fundamental boxing techniques. The fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Palace was known for being steady and ferocious while the set of Mystic Water Sword Techniques was powerful due to its unpredictable moves. Hao Ren had practiced the Mystic Water Sword Techniques before. Now that he was practicing the fundamental boxing techniques, he was able to learn something new!
Under the moonlight, he punched and kicked. Each movement was very smooth, so smooth that even his shadow under the moonlight flowed.
His sweat drops drew an arch in the air before landing quietly onto the grass.
âGongziâs punches sure look beautiful,â Lu Linlin said with a blush. She was hiding in a distant corner watching Hao Ren under the moonlight.
Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren with admiration.
They had returned to the graduate dormitory but were still worried, so they quietly followed Hao Ren. That was when they found out that Hao Ren came here to practice his martial arts rather than going back to his dorm to sleep.
âThatâs our Gongziâ¦â Unlike Lu Lili who expressed her praise out loud, Lu Linlin only secretly thought to herself. She had more admiration for Hao Ren now.
Hao Ren practiced his boxing techniques until midnight. Only when he realized that it was almost time that the dorms were going to be locked did he run multiple laps around the field before returning to his dorm.
Zhou Liren had just received Song Qingyaâs signed picture today and was extremely excited. It was a mystery how he had prepared a picture frame. He had put the signed pictures into the frame and placed it at the most visible spot on his desk.
âDamn! Which beauty did you go out with this time! I thought you werenât coming back!â
They surrounded Hao Ren right when they saw him.
âI just went out for a walk,â Hao Ren said lightheartedly. On his way back to the dorm, his sweat-soaked clothes had been dried by the natural wind, so there was no way they would have guessed Hao Ren had been practicing boxing for multiple hours.
If you donât put in the effort, you will not reap the fruit. That applied even to the road of cultivation.
When Hao Ren saw the battle between Yue Zilong and Wang Shitong, he realized how status couldnât save him. If Yue Zilong werenât stronger than Wang Shitong, then the person that was pushed down onto the seabed and beaten up badly would be Yue Zilong.
Zhao Kuo was the East Oceanâs Commanding General, and this was why he had pursued after real strength.
Hao Ren only reacted politely to Yu Rong and the other guys. The guys however still ended up not being able to find Song Qingyaâs phone number from Hao Renâs phone.
âOK, OK, Iâm going to take a shower.â Hao Ren pushed them away and grabbed his face bowl and towel before walking towards the public shower room.
The schoolâs shower room had hot water while the shower in the dorms only had cold water. However, with Hao Renâs current body, he could even use ice-cold water from the well, and it wouldnât do any damage to him.
There was a small square opening in the shower, so Hao Ren looked out at the sky while he washed himself.
There seemed to be a bolt of purple lightning that shot from the sky. If Hao Ren werenât a cultivator, he would have thought it was a shooting star.
At that time, Wang Shitong stepped on his trident in the center of the city high up in the sky. He was releasing thousands of golden lights from his hand.
Soul-searching technique!
Although he was slowed down by Yue Ziyang, he still believed that this small demon king was still in the city!
His clothes were torn, and he had lost his two front teeth. However, he knew that Yue Zilong wouldnât kill him!
If it were low junior-level metal-elemental dragon cultivators, then Yue Zilong could use his status as a deputy shrine master and kill them when he was enraged. However, Wang Shitong was a peak Qian-level cultivator of the metal-elemental dragon clan and even had the status as an elder in the clan.
If he were to be killed, Yue Zilong would be in deep trouble!
Wang Shitong had witnessed Yue Zilongâs ferocity, but he was still not scared of the Dragon God Shrine!
The golden lights scattered in all directions!
The light reflected the locations of all the cultivators in the city. They reflected different colors respective to their different elemental attribute which were in colors of white, green, blue, red, and yellow.
A peak Qian-level cultivator could easily exterminate an entire city. Wang Shitong could easily use his soul-searching technique to pinpoint the low-realm cultivators in the city!
Amongst those five colors, there was a faint blue aura in the southeastern corner of the city.
âThe small demon king that escaped from the Demon Seaâ¦â Wang Shitong took a light step as the golden trident pointed toward that direction.
âWhat about the deputy shrine master of the Dragon God Shrine? Such a small demon king was in the East Ocean City under his nose, but he still didnât catch it!â he thought, âHowever, this small demon king had hidden his aura well! If it werenât for my soul-searching technique, I wouldnât have been able to find him!â
When he realized such things, Wang Shitong became prouder and thought, âEven though this deputy shrine master has superior fighting skills, he is far less superior in terms of techniques than me!â
âWait until I catch this small demon king and use him to make the bone strengthening pill! I will turn my body to the degree where it is as strong as a level 10 demon beast! Then, Iâll come to pick a fight with you!â
Wang Shitong clenched his teeth and dashed forward on his trident as he was afraid that this small demon king would escape.
This trident-shaped dharma treasure of his was specially made so that it could be used as an Immortal Trapping Net. It was effective with dragon cultivators and demon beasts that have successfully transformed.
As long as one was captured by this golden net, all cultivators and treasures would be locked. This effect was especially strong with transformed demon beasts. As long as they didnât transform into their demon beast form in a split second, they would be instantaneously killed!
The location he was aiming for was Wu Luoxueâs home.
Since Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang went to the provincial conference, he was staying at Wu Luoxueâs home. Also, after school today, he walked Wu Luoxue home with no shame.
Wu Luoxue didnât have any good or bad feelings toward Zhen Congming. All she did was eat her dinner before she went to her room to do her homework.
Zhen Congming really wanted to go to Wu Luoxueâs room, but he couldnât find an excuse no matter how hard he thought. He had good grades, so it didnât sound right if he said he didnât know how to do the homework.
Wu Luoxueâs cold attitude toward him made Zhen Congming very anxious, and he didnât dare to actively get closer to her.
It was already past ten in the evening.
Wu Luoxue was in her pajamas, and she practiced piano in her room for a bit before heading to bed.
Zhen Congming listened carefully. When he heard that the piano had stopped, his heart sank.
Wu Luoxue was pretty, just like a crystal doll. She could also play the piano and draw well. Although Zhen Congming had initially looked down upon these things, he thought they were beautiful arts just because Wu Luoxue did them.
Up in the sky, Wang Shitong was on his trident. He was only a few hundred meters away.
âSmall demon king! Small demon king!â When Wang Shitong thought about this, he was ecstatic.
If his strength improved a bit, he would have hope to be able to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm!
The eyes of Wang Shitong, who was a few hundred years old, were lit with passion and fire.
Crack! A purple lightning-like dharma treasure struck down from the clouds up above.
It pierced directly through Wang Shitongâs chest.
The peak Qian-level Wang Shitong vanished into thin air without a bit of noise.
