“That’s all for the day,” Su Han jogged to the front entrance of the administrative building and said.
“Great!” Hao Ren nodded frantically.
A 12-kilometer run. In the past, even though Hao Ren didn’t start cultivating at the time, he could finish the run without any problems with his title as a long-distance runner in high school.
Now, a 12-kilometer run was as difficult as crossing mountains and rivers for Hao Ren. His shorts and t-shirts were soaked in his sweat.
In contrast, Su Han seemed very relaxed. Although her face was slightly flushed, she did not sweat at all. The blue shirt and mini skirt pants made her look like a flower blooming from the cement floor in front of the administrative building.
Countless male student around the area stopped to watch Su Han like hungry wolves.
Su Han used to jog in the morning, but she always wore white sportswear with long sleeves. Although she still seemed very sexy, it was not as youthful and attractive as this time.
“That’s all,” Su Han said coldly as she saw Hao Ren staring at her. Then, she turned around and was about to walk into the administrative building.
Suddenly, she stopped for a moment and returned to Hao Ren. She raised her hands and fixed Hao Ren’s collar. Then, she smiled softly and walked into the building.
This small act made the male students around them gasp as they couldn’t help but start to scream.
How could a gorgeous and icy girl like Su Han fix the collar for a guy like Hao Ren!
Especially that gentle smile; it was definitely a sign that the iceberg was melting!
One smile could overthrow a city, another smile could overthrow a country.
Hao Ren enjoyed the glory of making all the male students jealous! Their jealous then immediately turned into hatred!
Hao Ren stood still in the same position as his shoulder could still feel Su Han’s touch when she fixed his collar.
From his perspective, Su Han’s smile was a smile of encouragement.
Within an hour, Hao Ren mastered the rhythm of the Five Mountains Bracelets and could control his nature essence accurately. Su Han’s little act was, perhaps, praise or a reward.
In the flock of angry eyes, Hao Ren walked into an academic building.
The Five Mountains Bracelets sealed off 60 percent of Hao Ren nature essence. However, if Hao Ren could control his nature essence well and use the split-second pause in the array formations of the Five Mountains Bracelets each second, he could smoothly utilize the remaining 40 percent of his nature essence.
It was similar to controlling the flow of water that would stall for a split second every second before it started flowing again. Although it seemed that there was one more thing to be worried about, this practice could drastically improve one’s skill in controlling nature essence!
Hao Ren even suspected that Su Han might have been wearing Five Mountains Bracelets herself.
From the fact that she insisted on jogging every morning, did not like to fight with people, and did not bother to walk around on campus, it seemed like Su Han was wearing Five Mountains Bracelets that limit her nature essence. If that were true, Su Han only showed a part of her true strength!
Su Han wanted to reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Things that were not related to the elevation of realms were useless to Su Han.
Therefore, she would not waste any time.
The last Heavenly Dragon appeared a few hundred years ago. The super-strong cultivators who remained on the land and First Heaven all wanted to become the next Heavenly Dragon!
Zhao Kuo wanted that, so did Su Han!
Su Han wanted the supreme power! Zhao Kuo wanted to demonstrate his might! They wanted to see who could reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm first!
Su Han gave up battling and improved her realm through cultivation. Zhao Kuo, on the other hand, must have been strengthening himself through insane battles right now somewhere.
Although the two of them were on different paths, they both had the same goal, and that was to reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm which was beyond Qian-level!
“Heavenly Dragon Realm…”
As Hao Ren thought about that, he used some of his nature essence and started running away from the school.
In the morning, the sunlight shined from the east onto the street. The trees on both sides of the street were lined up properly.
Ahead of the straight road was golden glory.
Hao Ren, who clenched his fists, started running faster and faster.
If the nature essence were flowing smoothly, it would definitely trigger the Five Mountains Bracelets. If one could release and restrain nature essence with great control within a second, he would be able to control 40 percent of his nature essence without triggering the Five Mountains Bracelets. That required Hao Ren to control his nature essence on top of doing everything else.
One second, one moment!
In fact, that was the trick for accumulating strength and unleashing strength!
Hao Ren, who was running on the empty street, gradually disappeared.
He formed a red energy sphere around him and released 16 sword energies from his palm.
The sword energies accompanied Hao Ren by his side and followed in his footsteps, piercing forward and pulling back.
Because of the Five Mountains Bracelets, Hao Ren could not use his nature essence continuously. The sword energies dimmed down and brightened up as they followed the flow of Hao Ren’s nature essence rhythm.
Boom!
Hao Ren’s energy sphere was suddenly enlarged.
There were now 160 sword energies flowing on top of Hao Ren’s head and formed a giant array.
Hum! Hum!
The colorful sword energies flickered.
The sword energies didn’t float in mid-air as usual. Instead, they retracted along with Hao Ren’s rhythm. With the sword handle as the axis, every sword energy was slowly circling him.
The 160 sword energies formed a neatly arranged array. Each sword energy was continuously flickering within its own position, and the instability made it looked even more shocking!
Seemingly, the sword energies were about to attack at any moment!
“Gongzi!”
Two clear voice appeared on both sides of the road.
Hao Ren looked around and saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili standing on both sides of the road as they grinned at him.
Hao Ren smiled awkwardly as he withdrew the sword energies and revoked the energy sphere.
Hao Ren reappeared on the street.
“Gongzi is going through a tough day!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili hopped to Hao Ren and smiled.
“Oh, you saw?” Hao Ren asked.
Lu Linlin snickered, “Is Gongzi’s butt still hurting?”
“Yes…” Hao Ren replied honestly.
“A strict teacher produces outstanding students. Gongzi will be able to win at the Dragon God Shrine!”
“Do you guys know anything about the Dragon God Shrine?” Hao Ren asked.
“Since the Dragon God Shrine was established, the general exams had become a great event each year for dragon cultivators. The general exams would take place on the date of the Dragon Boat Festival,” Lu Lili looked at Hao Ren and said as she blushed slightly.
“Oh, the Dragon Boat Festival…” Hao Ren then remembered that it was the Dragon Boat Festival this weekend.
Dragon boat racing and eating zongzi were the most common customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. Hao Ren also heard from Grandma that the Dragon Boat Festival was actually a day to worship the Dragon God.
Lu Linlin suddenly turned serious and said, “Gongzi, we want to give you some advice. If you win, you don’t need to care about other treasures. You only need to get one thing, and that is the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.”
