Hao Ren didn’t understand Elder Sun’s words. When he was about to ask again, Elder Sun returned to the first topic. “Gongzi Hao, who were you fighting with?”
“A Dui-level cultivator from the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan. Do you know anything about him, Elder Sun?” Hao Ren asked.
“Is he a young cultivator?” Elder Sun asked.
“Yeah, around 20 or so.” Up.dated b.y B o x Novel. com
“He should be an earth-elemental dragon from the Wuyi Mountain. His name is Wang Xi; indeed a Dui-level cultivator,” Elder Sun answered promptly.
Elder Sun’s intelligence network was one of the powerful weapons of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and the information about the young elite member from the Wuyi Mountain Dragon Clan was part of his intelligence data since the young man was now in the East Ocean City and practiced in his dojo.
He didn’t expect that Hao Ren would fight with him. If Elder Sun didn’t sense the vibrations of the array formation, he wouldn’t have come into the valley to investigate the situation in person.
Seeing Hao Ren’s silence, Elder Sun continued, “He is a superstar in the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan. He has reached Dui-level at such a young age and has the greatest hope of reaching Qian-level.”
Hao Ren knew that the masters on Qian-level and Kun-level in Dragon Tribe were mostly elderlies who were hundreds of years old. Su Han was a rare exception; Qin Shaoyang looked young, but he was much older than Su Han.
Wang Xi was indeed a genius to have reached Dui-level in his early twenties and thus had great prospects.
The Water-Elemental Dragon Clan had four branches, stream, river, lake, and ocean, and it had the largest number of cultivators and naturally the most amount of Qian-level and Kun-levels. In contrast, the combined members of Metal, Wood, Fire, and Earth-Elemental Dragon Clans couldn’t surpass that of the four ocean dragon palaces. More Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators a dragon clan had, the more respect they got.
As a core member of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Hao Ren had seen many Qian-level and Kun-level elders and didn’t find them rare. But in fact, those were all the Qian-level and Kun-level masters in the East Ocean City.
Only the four ocean dragon palaces had over 100 Qian-level and Kun-level masters who were the equivalent of top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. The second largest group of Qian-level and Kun-level masters were the Metal-Essence Dragon Clans.
That was why this earth-elemental dragon who had reached Dui-level at the age of 20 carried the hope of the Wuyi Mountain and even the entire Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan.
“He will be attending this year’s Dragon God Palace’s general examination, right?” Hao Ren asked Elder Sun.
“It’s possible. Su Han chose to enter the Inspector System to breakthrough from Kun-level to Qian-level. The Dragon God Palace had a large collection of secret cultivation scrolls and thus provided more information and training opportunities. The resources the Dragon God Palace has probably surpassed our East Ocean Dragon Clan,” Elder Sun said.
Hao Ren nodded. Although Su Han was adopted and raised by Elder Xingyue, she was still an outsider and couldn’t become a core member of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Thus, she had no access to the top cultivation techniques. That was why she entered the Dragon God Palace and became an inspector.
The four ocean dragon palaces were big players with abundant resources, and the smaller dragon kings of lakes and rivers had to borrow technique scrolls from them. Those dragon forces without this access had no choice but to fight to become inspectors.
“Ok. I got it.” Hao Ren tossed Little White into his necklace before walking to the teleportation array.
He raised his right hand and touched his forehead; he felt something wet.
He then lowered his hand and saw a trace of red blood on his fingers.
Wang Xi had stopped his sword at the most crucial moment, but he had still left a shallow symbolic cut on his forehead.
That cut on his forehead was in the center of the three golden flames mark which signified that Hao Ren was an assisting inspector.
It was an act of jealousy and a challenge.
In Wang Xi’s eyes, Hao Ren was only an insignificant Zhen-level cultivator, but he had acquired the position of an assisting inspector just because he was a member of the East Ocean. Likewise, only four ocean dragon palaces owned such powerful sword array techniques.
However, he didn’t care about Hao Ren’s position as the assisting inspector since he believed that he could defeat Hao Ren in a battle in the Dragon God Palace!
“Wang Xi…” Hao Ren murmured the name of the Dui-level cultivator and rubbed the trace of blood on his fingertips, feeling the small amount of pain on his forehead.
Strength; the key lied in strength.
Zhen-level was at the bottom of the Dragon Tribe! Even a Dui-level cultivator could belittle Hao Ren who had the title of an assisting inspector!
Even in the Inspector System, the one with the highest strength spoke the loudest!
At Qian-level, Su Han didn’t need to speak, and other inspectors would give ways to her!
The reason that the West Ocean Dragon Clan was so overbearing and aggressive toward the East Ocean Dragon Palace was that it had the largest number of elders who were on Qian-level and Kun-level among all four ocean dragon palaces.
Hao Ren clenched his fists and decided to accelerate his cultivation process.
Elevation of realms was important, but the battle experience was also crucial. He promised himself that he was going to go to the general examination of the Dragon God Palace and win!
Hao Ren stepped onto the teleportation array and returned to the dojo downtown before taking a bus back to school for afternoon classes. Wang Xi could cultivate all year round in the depth of mountains, but Hao Ren had to live in the city. He must find a more efficient way to elevate his realm.
“Ren! Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you but couldn’t find you anywhere!” Huang Jianfeng walked over and threw his arm over Hao Ren’s shoulder, yelling at him.
“I ran an errand out of the school, and my cell phone’s connection was poor,” Hao Ren said.
Sitting in the front row, Xie Yujia looked back at Hao Ren curiously. She wanted to go to the library with him but couldn’t get in touch with him.
“Tonight, we’ll go to the KTV. Will you join us?” Huang Jianfeng shook Hao Ren’s shoulder and asked.
“I can’t. I’m busy tonight.”
“Today’s my birthday, and I’m paying!” Huang Jianfeng continued to shake him.
“Ok! Ok! I’ll go in his place,” Xie Yujia stood up and said briskly.
Pleasantly surprised, Huang Jianfeng immediately released Hao Ren. “Ok! Ok!”
“But Ma Lina need to come as well.” Xie Yujia pulled Ma Lina up.
“Ok! Ok.” With two girls joining them, Huang Jianfeng let Hao Ren go completely.
Xie Yujia was Hao Ren’s girlfriend, and they would never have bad thoughts. However, there would be a different atmosphere with girls joining them. At this moment, no one thought about Hao Ren who couldn’t sing well!
“Don’t worry; you can go and tutor Zi tonight,” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren gently and whispered.
