“The Dragon Tribe is divided into five groups according to the different elemental power they cultivate. Both East Ocean and West Ocean belong to the Water Elemental Dragons Clan. The Metal Elemental Dragon Clan is the most unique out of the five elemental Dragon Clans since they are the most talented, have the greatest combat strength, and live up to unparalleled pride. They rarely participate in the Dragon Tribe’s business and usually keep to themselves. Qin Shaoyang is one of the rare ones who travel in the mortal world,” Lu Linlin explained.

Hao Ren never knew that the dragons were divided according to their elements. If he had not chosen to cultivate the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which required the cultivator to gather the five elements simultaneously, he would have been a member of the Water Elemental Dragon Clan after reaching Kan-level.

“Linlin, Lili, I have an idea,” Hao Ren said abruptly.

“We are listening,” they looked at him and said.

“Well.” Hao Ren’s face turned serious. “Last time when you measured the elemental composition of the Nature Essence in my body, my earth element was 7%, the lowest. However, the basic requirement of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is to have a balance of the five elements. If I lower the amount of the other elements to that of the earth element, will it count as an equilibrium?”

“Gongzi, it’s a…” Lu Linlin thought for a while and said, “demolition of your current cultivation progress.”

“Can I try it?” Hao Ren asked. He knew that he could eventually gather enough Nature Essence one day, but it would take a long time. After all, Zhao Yanzi’s birthday was next week.

He had been thinking about this method for days. If he couldn’t gain a balance with a lot of Nature Essence, he could obtain one with less. It was like a chess game; you lost some pieces on purpose in order to increase the chance of winning the game.

“It’s harder to gather Nature Essence than dispel it. Are you certain about this, Gongzi?” Lu Linlin asked.

“Yes!” Hao Ren nodded.

“Then, I will teach you the Dharma Spell that could dispel some of the other elemental essences in your body,” Lu Linlin leaned toward Hao Ren’s ear and whispered to him.

The warm fragrance floated into Hao Ren’s ear, and her position seemed a bit too close for casual friends.

After memorizing the Dharma Spell, Hao Ren gently pushed Lu Linlin off him and said, “Got it; you guys can go now.”

“Farewell, Gongzi!” The Lu sisters smiled before turning around and leaving hand in hand. Their long braids of hair swayed across their slim figures.

“Sister, do you think Gongzi will be in danger when he tries it?” Lu Lili asked Lu Linlin in concern as they walked out of the dorm area.

“There is no guarantee of safety in cultivation. However, the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is the safest technique, and I think he will be fine.” Lu Linlin raised her head, and her eyes sparkled. “Well, our Gongzi is an extraordinary guy. Cultivators usually put the most importance on their Nature Essence, but Gongzi dares to dispel it to gain a better chance at advancing. It’s quite possible that he will become influential one day.”

“Indeed. What Gongzi is planning to do follows the natural law of giving and taking. What he does is always within reason; no wonder I feel so comfortable around him,” Lu Lili said.

“You are such a blatant flatterer!” Lu Linlin reached out and pinched Lu Lili’s cute nose.

“I’m not! I’m just stating the truth…” Lu Lili tried to grab Lu Linlin’s slim arm.

They had been walking hand in hand, but now they began to play with each other, attracting the attention of the nearby students who thought that it was the most beautiful scene on campus.

Meanwhile, Hao Ren stood where he was and silently recited the Dharma Spell, that Lu Linlin had taught him, three times. Then, he checked his watch, walked out of the dorm area, and headed toward Su Han’s office.

On both sides of the roads, there were banners promoting the art exhibition. The fact that the school lent the entire first floor of the library to Qin Shaoyang showed its considerable support for Qin Shaoyang’s first personal art exhibition in China.

The Arts Faculty within East Ocean University had been an independent college that enjoyed a certain degree of reputation in China a few years before, but it was merged into East Ocean University recently. The Arts Faculty’s directors were all famous people in the art circle, and the faculty had maintained its strong academic strength.

However, the Arts Faculty had a building of its own and rarely crossed paths with other programs and faculties. It was more like an independent group.

Hearing that Qin Shaoyang would be holding a one-person exhibition, the girls in the Arts Faculty were all excited, and the school hoped to further expand the influence of the Arts Faculty through this exhibition.

After crossing the plaza in front of the library, Hao Ren entered Su Han’s office in the Administrative Building.

Su Han was cultivating with her eyes closed, and she remained silent after sensing Hao Ren’s arrival.

Not wanting to disturb her cultivation, Hao Ren sat down across from her. In the past, he came here to cultivate Nature Essence and increase his strength. However, he came to dispel some of the Nature Essence today. If Su Han had known about his purpose, she would have been astonished.

The Nature Essence slowly circulated in Hao Ren’s body while he began to activate the five elements one by one with the Dharma Spell taught by Lu Linlin.

He placed the elements into spheres and displayed them in mid-air half a meter away from his chest. From left to right, they were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The amount of earth element was the lowest at only 7%. Hao Ren cautiously dispelled the extra wood element through his fingertips bit by bit. Right now, it was at 11%.

He focused all of his attention on the process, knowing that it would be hard for him to replenish it if he accidentally released too much of it. If he released too much, he had to lower the amount of the other elements further accordingly.

Hao Ren stopped releasing wood element when he felt the amount was right. Then, he began to adjust the amount of the metal element which was at 12%. By now, his face was covered in sweat, very different from his relaxed state in the past cultivation sessions.

When the metal element was adjusted, Hao Ren turned to the fire element and water element; the latter had the highest percentage and thus took a longer time than the others.

Feeling that the amount of water element in his body dropped from the original 54% to the insubstantial level of the earth element, Hao Ren felt a bit regretful.

After all, that was the majority of his strength, and he had accumulated it through intensive cultivation.

Sweat flowed down Hao Ren’s chin and dropped onto his knees. Feeling that the five elements before his chest had almost reached the same level, Hao Ren began to make some minor adjustments cautiously.

Just like a water reservoir, it was hard to obtain water but quite easy to release it. Hao Ren released the Nature Essence in his body back into nature, and it would be hard for him to get them back into his body.

After a long period of time, Su Han opened her eyes slightly and saw that Hao Ren was soaked in sweat. For a moment, she thought that he had gotten into a mad and chaotic state. After she sensed no strange energy surge on him, she relaxed.

Dashes of dim red, blue, white, and green light were released from Hao Ren’s body.

“What is this guy doing?” Su Han was puzzled.

“Done!” Hao Ren who was sitting cross-legged opened his eyes suddenly.

With the balance of the five elements, his body experienced a fantastic sense of freedom!

At this moment, layers of cloud gathered in the sky above the Administrative Building.

“Ugh? Is he breaking through to Kan-level? He’s so fast…” Alarmed, Su Han looked at Hao Ren.

After detecting what was in the sky, even Su Han who usually maintained a calm composure was stunned.
