Two important events took place in the science circle on Monday.
Firstly, the world-renowned biologist Hao Zhonghua announced the launch of the project called ‘Seeking Dragon’ to prove the existence of the mythical creatures. This had attracted all the scientific institutions and magazines’ attention all over the world.
Secondly, Yue Yang started an in-depth research project on the East Ocean. She gathered different kinds of funds and large equipment for the research institution at the East Ocean City.
On the same Monday, another event took place in the business world as well.
The Mingri Group announced that they were acquiring the Conqueror Group, and its stock reached its top limit as soon as the market opened.
Hao Ren heard the news when he was in the cab and on his way to East Ocean University.
He handed the driver a 20-yuan bill and got three-yuan of change back.
The taxi driver drove the vehicle away as he watched Hao Ren walk into the school. He could never imagine that this ordinary-looking man was the son of the two world-famous scientists, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, and also the future CEO of Mingri Group.
Hao Ren had steadied his Gen-level realm after one night of cultivation, and he also opened up to 125 openings successfully.
Gen-level gave him an even stronger aura than Zhen-level.
The second Hao Ren stepped inside the gate, a beam of bright red light moved toward him.
Hao Ren was instantly enveloped by the red light since there was nowhere for him to hide.
“Give me my dharma treasure back!”
Qin Shaoyang appeared in the red light with a suit on, and he flipped his palm toward Hao Ren’s face!
“Sword array formation!” Hao Ren shot out his 320 sword energies.
The sword energies flew out at the same time like bullets, and they had the same effect as dense area bombing.
A golden light surrounded Qin Shaoyang to protect him from the aggressive sword energies, and he was secretly impressed by the fact that Hao Ren reached Gen-level within just a couple of days.
“At this speed, Hao Ren is going to become a massive threat in the future! We need to eliminate him!” Qin Shaoyang thought as he suddenly increased his strength.
It was a great advantage for him to fight against a Gen-level cultivator as a Kun-level cultivator.
Boom!
A white jade sword appeared between Hao Ren and Qin Shaoyang, and the latter was immediately forced back by three steps!
Su Han slowly landed in the energy sphere in her white dress.
Qin Shaoyang raised his hand and saw a deep wound on his wrist. Blood kept running out from the cut.
He immediately used the metal-elemental essence to block his meridians and stop the bleeding.
Hao Ren was surprised to see Su Han here.
Su Han just rushed back from the Dragon God Shrine. Her hair fell loosely on her shoulders, and her eyes shone like stars. She seemed to be even more powerful than before.
“Su Han!” Qin Shaoyang covered his hand and shouted coldly.
“He is mine! Don’t touch him,” Su Han said lightly.
“The East Ocean City is under my control now, and I want to punish this little assisting inspector. You have a problem with that?” Qin Shaoyang looked at Su Han angrily.
Su Han looked at him in disdain without saying a word.
“Why are you so protective of this little assisting inspector? Do you like him?” Qin Shaoyang asked.
“What if I do like him?” Su Han said coldly.
As Qin Shaoyang was stunned, Su Han continued, “And what if I don’t like him?”
Hao Ren’s heart jumped up and down as Su Han spoke.
“He took my natal dharma treasure!” Qin Shaoyang said.
He didn’t want to reveal this shameful information. However, the natal dharma treasure, unlike other dharma treasures, could affect his spiritual senses. Su Han was very protective of Hao Ren, and the twin sisters were hanging around on campus, giving him no chance of getting it back.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyang had to state the reason why he risked starting the fight.
“He took your natal dharma treasure. So what?” Su Han said lightly again.
“You…” Qin Shaoyang was so mad that his eyes almost popped out.
Su Han’s cold attitude showed her complete disdain toward Qin Shaoyang!
“Give me his natal dharma treasure,” Su Han said to Hao Ren.
“Um!” Hao Ren took Qin Shaoyang’s golden weaving shuttle out of his necklace and put it in Su Han’s hand.
“Right. We are both inspectors, and there’s no need to get into a fight,” Qin Shaoyang smiled and said, relieved.
Su Han looked down and put Qin Shaoyang’s golden weaving shuttle in her own storage ring indifferently. Then, she ripped open the energy sphere and said coldly, “Come and get it from me if you can.”
Qin Shaoyang stared at Su Han’s back in surprise as she left, but he never gathered enough courage to attack her from behind.
As a Kun-level cultivator, Qin Shaoyang could sense that Su Han got even stronger than before her injury. In other words, instead of losing strength during her recovery, she improved a lot!
“What are you still standing there for, Hao Ren?” Su Han said as she walked.
Hao Ren hesitated for a bit and rushed over to Su Han.
There was a gentle breeze blowing through the campus. The gate was near the lake, and they could see the wind gently blowing on the willow trees. Su Han walked forward as the wind blew the lovely scent of her hair into Hao Ren’s nose.
“Su Han is back!”
A sharp-eyed male student instantly recognized the beauty beside the lake, and he cried out loud since they hadn’t seen Su Han on campus for a long time.
“Su Han!”
“That really is Su Han!”
Other students cried out in surprise as well.
Without a doubt, Su Han was the most beautiful female of East Ocean University. Her reappearance immediately few the attention of everyone near the lake!
However, her cold temperament made them scared of getting closer.
“Who is that guy walking beside Su Han?”
“Is that Hao Ren? The one who got in a fight with Huang Xujie!”
“A sophomore… good for him. He could walk together with Su Han…”
“You have no idea. They’ve been very close since before!”
All sorts of gossip came into their ears.
Hao Ren and Su Han had acute hearings, so they could hear the gossips even though these students were on the other side of the lake.
Su Han kept walking calmly as she said to Hao Ren, “The Dragon God Shrine allowed me to come back as the East Ocean City’s inspector, but they don’t want to take Qin Shaoyang away for the time being. They might be using him to restrain my authority since they weren’t satisfied with my late report on the situation between East Ocean and West Ocean.”
“Um…” Hao Ren nodded calmly.
Many people looked at him with jealousy from the other side of the lake. However, Hao Ren didn’t panic like he did before. He was walking together with Su Han, so what?
“You are an assisting inspector, and Qin Shaoyang is an official inspector. According to your titles, he could punish you, and you are not allowed to fight back. To get rid of this restraint, you would have to become an official inspector,” Su Han continued.
Hao Ren knew clearly that the Dragon God Shrine and the dragon clans were two different systems. Although he was the Commanding General of East Ocean, he was still an ordinary dragon cultivator in the eyes of the inspectors.
“The Dragon God Shrine has decided to have two official inspectors in every major city in the future. This is to avoid any careless omission of information by either inspector…” Su Han stopped her steps and turned to look at Hao Ren calmly.
She was as beautiful as a delicate painting in her white blouse, and the lake scenery became the perfect background.
“If you can become an official inspector we can work together to kick Qin Shaoyang out of the picture,” Su Han said.
