“What are these?” Xie Yujia widened her eyes and asked Hao Ren.

The area into three sections by metal wires which glittered with silver light. In the left section were different kinds of dharma treasures; in the middle section were neatly piled cultivation technique scrolls; in the right section were bottles of elixir pills!

Obviously, Hao Ren’s Five-Elemental Sword Array Formation had been picked out from this collection.

Looking at the dharma treasures emitting overwhelming Nature Essence, Hao Ren sensed they were top-tier dharma treasures which were more powerful than Zeng Yitao’s Dragon Gold Spear!

Any of them could be made into a natal dharma treasure.

Screech. The wood door behind them was pushed open gently.

Xie Yujia who had been alarmed by what she saw was startled by the sound.

She and Hao Ren turned their heads simultaneously and found the old grandma walking into the room slowly with a bunch of vegetables in her hand.

“Grandma… We weren’t trying to peek at your stuff…” Xie Yujia stammered and couldn’t find the right words.

Hao Ren immediately lowered the bed board.

The old grandma walked over and put the vegetables on the table. Pulling out the chair, she nodded at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia and pointed to the bed board.

Hao Ren pulled the surprised Xie Yujia to sit on the bed board.

“I have only a few words to say to you.” Looking at Xie Yujia and Hao Ren, she lifted her hand and pointed at Hao Ren. “You must marry Xie Yujia. I have made the decision,” she said.

“Ugh?” Xie Yujia was confused.

“That’s all. You can go now.” The old grandma waved her hand at Hao Ren.

Before Hao Ren could get any words out, a huge force pushed him outward.

Her overbearing attitude was more aggressive than those of Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guang combined.

Just when Hao Ren was out of the shed, the old grandma’s voice came out of it.

“Today I paid another visit to the Dragon God Shrine. If they can’t solve this problem, I’ll take the matter into my own hands! As to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, I’ll go visit it in person!”

Bang!

A powerful force exploded behind Hao Ren in the narrow pathway, pushing him forward more than a dozen steps.

It was a small punishment for Hao Ren’s ambivalent attitude toward Xie Yujia.

After the pain, Hao Ren felt a pure Nature Essence coming from the explosion and entering his body.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Four openings were unlocked in the Dragon Core.

It was a small reward for his attentive care for Xie Yujia in the past two days!

Hao Ren looked back and found that he was at the gate of East Ocean University! The old grandma had tossed him from one space into another!

This technique of manipulating spaces was even beyond the abilities of Zhao Kuo and Su Han.

The old grandma was a more powerful figure than Qian-level Masters.

What was above Qian-level? It was the Heavenly Dragon Realm or the Soul Formation Realm!

Honk! Honk…

The honking of the cars shocked him from the daze.

He looked around and found he was standing right in front of the gate, blocking the cars from entering the school.

He stepped aside. Then he walked to his dorm building and cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll while he walked.

Bang! Bang… Successive explosions appeared in Hao Ren’s Dragon Core!

The explosions unlocked more than a dozen openings! By now, 39 openings had been unlocked, and he would reach Zhen-level after unlocking one more.

By giving him a push in the void, the old grandma buried a small explosive in Hao Ren’s body. Hao Ren triggered the explosive by cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, and they unlocked those openings!

This unlocking method was quite aggressive, and Hao Ren almost spat out a mouthful of blood under its great force. However, after the temporary discomfort, he felt refreshed.

She had purposefully left one opening for Hao Ren to unlock!

In fact, the old grandma’s push was more a reward than a punishment.

She knew the early stage of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was slow and had just given him a boost.

Feeling the changes in his body, Hao Ren was pleasantly surprised. While he was walking toward his dorm building, it suddenly occurred to him that if the old grandma had buried in him a huge explosive instead of a small one, he would have died in pieces instead of getting his openings unlocked.

At this thought, Hao Ren broke out in a sweat.

He got into the No.7 dorm building and at the doorway of his dorm, he heard the yells of card playing coming from the room.

Seeing Hao Ren come into the room, they immediately shouted, “Ren! You owe us a meal!”

“Why?” Hao Ren pretended dumb.

“To celebrate your victory of winning Xie Yujia! If you don’t treat us a meal, we’ll steal her from you; if you do, we’ll help you protect her from any future harassment from other guys!” They threatened.

Looking at their excited faces, Hao Ren was exasperated. “Ok, ok! I’ll invite you to supper in a couple of days!”

In fact, with his current strength, he could deal with any ordinary guy who dared to approach Xie Yujia, and the combined force of the guys in the whole room was no match for his.

But Hao Ren was touched by the brotherly friendship in the school, and he guessed that was why Zhao Hongyu sent Zhao Yanzi to study in the school.

After washing up in the bathroom, Hao Ren found Zhou Liren and others were still playing cards. He climbed up to his upper berth to cultivate. The old grandma had unlocked more than ten openings in his Dragon Core with one light strike, and he needed to spend one night to solidify the realm.

Monday morning came in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren got up and walked to the balcony. Looking up, he found countless cultivators had surrounded the Nine Dragon Palace in the sky.

It looked like a beehive surrounded by a dense mass of bees.

“I observed the night sky and felt that something important would happen.” In his pajamas, Zhou Liren walked onto the balcony and stood behind Hao Ren.

Hao Ren looked back at him and was startled.

Zhou Liren then changed into his usual teasing expression and leaned close to Hao Ren. “Brother Ren, do you think the twin beauties will make a scene when they find out that you and Xie Yujia are going out?”

It dawned on Hao Ren that this was the important thing he had referred to. Hao Ren glanced at him in resignation.

“Brother Ren, do me a favor and give me a chance with the twin beauties, ok?” Zhou Liren leaned closer to Hao Ren and almost dripped his saliva on Hao Ren’s shoulder.

Hao Ren looked at him, speechless. Maybe in the eyes of the guys, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili ignored them because the sisters liked Hao Ren.

Hao Ren looked up at the dark sky again and gave priority to the business of the Nine Dragon Palace. He guessed the reason Zeng Yitao had not come to him to get back his natal dharma treasure was that he was preparing to enter the Nine Dragon Palace.

Today was the day the cultivators would break into the Nine Dragon Palace.

Hao Ren left the dorm building and went to find Su Han in her office. As if she had known Hao Ren would come, her door was open when he got there.

“There are more cultivators than any of the times in the past. Most of the cultivators of the sects in Sixth Heaven have come.” Without any ceremony, Su Han got to the point.

In the sky out of the window, the colorful and glittering Realm Shields were like bees flying around the Nine Dragon Palace.

“Should we ask Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to join us?” Hao Ren asked her.

“No. There are too many people who are trying to break into the palace, far more than I expected. I’m afraid I will have too much on my plate if they join us,” Su Han said lightly.

“When will we do it?” Hao Ren asked.

“About 10 o’clock,” Su Han answered.

“What do we do now?” Hao Ren asked again.

“Cultivate.” Su Han threw him this word before sitting down cross-legged and closing her eyes.

“Ugh…” Hao Ren choked back his words and sat down on his usual spot.

The Nature Essence in Su Han’s office was more intense than outside, the result of the array formations she built around the room.

Hao Ren concentrated on his cultivation, hoping he could unlock the last opening and reach Zhen-level which was a significant milestone. In the cultivation sects, the Zhen Level was the equivalent of the Core Formation Realm.

However, this one step would take people different lengths of time to reach. It would take some cultivators only a few months or even a few days, but it might also take many years. For some of the cultivators, they would never reach this realm in their whole lives.

With the aid of the Dragon Core, Hao Ren’s cultivation speed was almost hundreds of times faster than that of an ordinary cultivator. If an ordinary cultivator practiced the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, he or she would progress like a snail.

The Nature Essence entered Hao Ren’s body thread by thread; it traveled to the Dragon Core and nurtured it. The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was not the fastest technique, but it was the steadiest one!

Like hearts beating, the 39 openings vibrated at the same time, connecting themselves with Hao Ren’s body.

Was it the feeling of Zhen-level? The so-called Core Formation was the process of forming a gold core in one’s body. Zhen-level for dragon cultivators the process of fully activating the Dragon Core in the body!

While Hao Ren was savoring the feelings in his body and trying to find an opportunity to break through, Su Han sitting opposite him said suddenly, “It’s time. Let’s go!”

With a white flash, Su Han pulled Hao Ren into the high sky in an energy sphere!

Her expression was grimmer than before as if she was determined to make the trip to the Nine Dragon Palace a great success with Hao Ren as her live map!

Countless cultivators flying on swords surrounded the huge Nine Dragon Palace. They were all waiting for the best moment to break into it!

Boom! Su Han released her aura of a middle-tier Qian-level cultivator.

Nascent Soul Realm! The nearby cultivators of Foundation Establishment Realm and Core Formation Realm were startled and moved hundreds of meters away from them.

“Qian-level Dragon Cultivator!” Someone yelled.

Ignoring their comments, Su Han looked back and saw Hao Ren was standing behind her and holding tightly to her arms. Her face turned livid. “Let go!”

Looking down at the land tens of thousands of meters below him, Hao Ren kept his grip on Su Han’s soft arms.

“Are you kidding me? You can fly on a sword, but I’ll die if I fall.”

Under the stare of the cultivators who were hundreds of meters away, Su Han couldn’t keep her composure of a master anymore. She bumped Hao Ren’s chest with her elbow. “Let go and release your spirit beast!”

“Ugh? Little White?” Hao Ren froze for a moment before letting go of one of Su Han’s arms and taking out the furry Little White from his hidden space.

“Toss it out,” Su Han instructed.

“Toss it?” Hao Ren was baffled. Although Little White was shameless sometimes, he still liked it.

“This little guy is lazy. It has powers!” Su Han lost her temper, though her frown was very pretty!

Little White looked at Hao Ren innocently, but Hao Ren decided to trust Su Han. He tossed Little White into the sky.

Ruff! Ruff…

Little White dropped like a rock!

“Su Han! Help Little White!” Hao Ren yelled anxiously.

Boom!

Dozens of meters below them, Little White grew large. Flames appeared on its four paws, and it flew up!
