Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  When he first cultivated the Light Sword Splitting Shadow Scroll, he didn’t feel anything extraordinary about it. But as he progressed further, the power of the sword energies in battles began to show.

  If Su Han and Hao Ren were at the same level, she would have been overwhelmed by his sword energies. However, for Su Han, a Qian-level cultivator, the combat abilities of the sword energies were insignificant.

  After swinging her White Jade Sword, she broke more than 40 of Hao Ren’s sword energies.

  “Do you want me to lower myself to Gen-level to battle with you?” Su Han turned gracefully and said.

  The surrounding five-colored sword energies couldn’t get close to her. Instead, they accentuated her great beauty like fireworks.

  “Three Talents Heaven Earth Array Formation!” Hao Ren sped up his attacks.

  The 320 sword energies hummed in answer to each other.

  The power of the sword array!

  “Humph!” Su Han’s White Jade Sword released a white light.

  Level 9 Ice Frost Scroll!

  While she was recovering from her injuries in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, she had taken advantage of the godly elixir pills and reached the ninth level, the ultimate level of her main cultivation technique!

  Metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essences!

  Water was responsible for defense while metal was responsible for offense!

  “Break!” Su Han’s thin lips opened slightly.

  Countless ice and frost crystals splashed outward.

  Standing with the falling snowflakes, Su Han looked elegant and powerful in her pajamas!

  Hao Ren’s sword energies all vanished when they touched the snowflakes!

  It was the first time that Hao Ren saw Su Han using the Ice Frost Scroll, and he was amazed. He knew that the Ice Frost Scroll was only a yellow-grade technique, a mid-range cultivation technique according to the categories in the Profound Cultivation Palace of East Ocean. It could only unleash such great power because of Su Han’s high realm and great strength.

  “Not bad, you are able to force me to use my technique…” Su Han said coldly as she slashed down.

  However, before she could finish her sentence, she found that among the dozens of sword energies, she couldn’t break through two of them.

  While she was startled, the two sword energies instantly broke through her defense line and slipped to her feet.

  Hundun godly lightning could break everything that was made from the primary five elements!

  Among his 320 sword energies, only 318 of were the five-elemental sword energies, and the last two were hundun sword energies!

  Su Han didn’t expect that Hao Ren would be so sly and hide the hundun sword energies among the ordinary ones…. She underestimated him and didn’t put enough cultivation strength into her sword.

  Snap! Snap!

  The two furry slippers she was wearing broke at the same time.

  Her two cute feet were exposed in the air.

  They were white, small, and smooth as if they were made with top-grade jade.

  Su Han looked at Hao Ren in surprise and blushed when she found that Hao Ren’s eyes were locked onto her feet.

  She hid her feet beneath her pajama pants immediately.

  Despite her efforts, her pants couldn’t cover her entire feet; her toes were still exposed as she stood on the dark-colored floor.

  “One can’t be too sly in battle,” Hao Ren said with a smug smile.

  “This place is too small. I’m afraid that we’ll damage my room!” Su Han took two steps forward and grabbed Hao Ren’s collar in a surge of shame and anger.

  She lifted him onto her White Jade Sword. Then, she jumped onto it as well with her bare feet before flying out of the window with Hao Ren.

  If Hao Ren’s two sword energies hit the lethal acupoints on her feet instead of the back of her feet, Su Han would have been totally defeated!

  At this thought, Su Han was alarmed and ashamed, but she didn’t want to admit that she had lost to Hao Ren this time.

  “Where are we going?” Hao Ren asked uneasily under Su Han’s grip.

  “Somewhere with a lot of space!” The moment she said this, the White Jade Sword began to drop.

  Seeing the grasses on the ground below them, Hao Ren immediately leaped down and gained his balance.

  Almost at the same time, Su Han’s White Jade Sword hacked toward him, shooting a frost sword energy at his chest!

  Pressing his hand on his chest, Hao Ren retreated three steps and realized that they were in the biggest soccer stadium of the East Ocean City!

  In her white pajamas, Su Han stood on the green grasses bare-footed, holding the longsword horizontally with the tip pointing at Hao Ren.

  “I was careless. But now, I won’t let you get me so easily. I’ll fight you with only Gen-level strength!” Su Han said as she moved around and stabbed toward Hao Ren with a sharp sword energy!

  Hao Ren tried to dodge in a hurry.

  This stadium was a comprehensive stadium that followed international guidelines and equipped with top-tier infrastructures. Hao Ren came here before to watch soccer games with Zhao Jiayi and his other buddies, and he never imagined that he would be battling Su Han at this place!

  The empty stands around them made Hao Ren feel like he was a gladiator in a colosseum!

  Swoosh! Swoosh!

  Another two icy cold sword energies shot toward his shoulders.

  Alarmed, Hao Ren released a series of five-elemental sword energies immediately.

  With the sword energies engulfing his fingers, he blocked Su Han’s sword attacks and made a series of clinking sounds.

  Tiger Breaking into Mountains! Seven Star Steps! Sword Engulfing Pear Flowers! Ice Covering Vast Land!

  These sword techniques of Su Han got faster one after another, and each strike carried a chilling aura!

  Although Hao Ren reached Gen-level, he was far less experienced in battle than Su Han. Overwhelmed by her strikes, he got flustered and was forced to retreat!

  In contrast, Su Han chased him bare-footed. Her loose pajamas fluttered under the overwhelming wind create by her strikes, and this gave her a unique look.

  “If you can’t defeat me at Gen-level, you can’t hope to enter the top 50 in the exams!” Su Han abruptly put more force into her sword, and a long ice mark appeared on the green field.

  Hao Ren was in disarray under Su Han’s fierce attacks, but she was just showing him the ordinary level of the dragon cultivators who would be attending the exams in the Dragon God Shrine!

  Hiss!

  Su Han’s sword left a tear on Hao Ren’s clothes.

  Hiss! Hiss!

  Another two tears appeared on his clothes.

  Although Hao Ren could create sword arrays with ease, he couldn’t block Su Han’s fast and fierce sword strikes in a close-range. In the blink of an eye, a wound appeared on his shoulder.

  “If you don’t fight back, you’ll lose!” Su Han’s sword transformed into three sword shadows and stab at his neck, chest, and stomach.

  In the book that the old Grandma gave to Hao Ren, there were only sword arrays and no close-range sword combat techniques. Also, the Light Sword Splitting Shadow Scroll was only a cultivation technique and didn’t provide him with any combat techniques.

  Hiss… A long cut appeared in his right leg while his pants were slashed in two, chilling his thighs.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, Hao Ren planted his feet on the ground and placed his fists on the sides of his waist.

  The fundamental boxing technique from the East Ocean Dragon Palace!

  The first move: Horse Stance Forward Punch!

  With sword energies engulfing his fist, he swung it toward the tip of Su Han’s sword!

  Ding… Su Han’s sword was forced away from its target.

  Swirling the White Jade Sword agilely with her wrist, she changed the direction of the sword and stabbed at his chest.

  Hao Ren ch
anged directions he was facing and used Horse Stance Forward Punch again!

  Su Han changed her direction, and Hao Ren also moved to use Horse Stance Forward Punch again!

  With light steps, Su Han circled Hao Ren. At the same time, Hao Ren used Horse Stance Forward Punch again and again, following Su Han’s movements.

  Hao Ren condensed the five-elemental sword energies into his fists, making them as hard as dharma treasures. Su Han couldn’t find a way to deal with him at only Gen-level.

  Horse Stance Forward Punch!

  Hao Ren launched another vicious punch, and Su Han was forced back half a step.

  With her hair fluttering in the wind and the moon rising high in the sky, Su Han looked fragile as she retreated in her pajamas with bare feet.

  The more fragile she looked, the more beautiful she was!

  Boom!

  An overwhelming aura was released from her body.

  Qian-level!

  “You are playing dirty! You said you’d only fight me with Gen-level strength!” Hao Ren yelled in alarm.

  “Yeah, I’m playing dirty! What can you do about it?” Su Han leaped high into the air as she pouted sulkily.

  394 Great Helpers

  “Hey! Hey! You can’t do this…” Hao Ren immediately raised his hands.

  “Ten-thousand Ice Strike!”

  Leaping high in the air, silhouetted against the moon, Su Han struck down with her sword and shot out hundreds of icicles.

  Not daring to try to block them with Horse Stance Forward Punch, Hao Ren rolled toward the goal to his left.

  Swoosh! Swoosh…

  The icicles stabbed into the field, piercing many holes that were ten centimeters deep on the green grass.

  “Ten-thousand Ice Strike!”

  Before Hao Ren could heave a sigh of relief, Su Han’s low voice sounded again.

  “Are you trying to kill me?!” Hao Ren leaped out of the goal while hundreds of icicles poured down!

  “Ten-thousand Ice Strike…”

  Su Han’s demonic voice sounded again.

  “Surrender! I surrender!” Hao Ren leaped up abruptly and called out to Su Han in a hurry.

  “This woman is not a gracious loser! I beat her twice by luck, and now she got into such a rage of humiliation. She asked me to fight her with my full force but wouldn’t allow me to win!” Hao Ren complained in his mind.

  “Humph!” Finally, Su Han withdrew her sword and landed slowly on the field.

  She looked as cold as ice, and she felt ashamed on the inside. When they were in her home, she lost her shoes to Hao Ren; after they moved to the open space outside, she tried to fight Hao Ren at Gen-level and still lost to him.

  It was a great blow to her self-esteem!

  Looking at Su Han who acted like a kid cheating in a lost fight, Hao Ren had the urge to laugh. Although he landed on his face into the mud, he found Su Han quite adorable.

  “Your cultivation technique is indeed unique.” With a long face, Su Han still couldn’t admit her defeat. “Although you are at low-tier Gen-level, with your technique, you could even defeat top-tier Gen-level cultivators.”

  “I couldn’t have achieved this without your teaching,” Hao Ren immediately cupped his hands toward her and fluttered.

  Actually, it was half flattery and half-truth. Right now, he was disheveled and covered in wounds, but he gained a deeper understanding of battles.

  Cultivating and fighting were entirely different things. As a cultivation genius, Su Han wasn’t a battle genius, and her sword technique was lousy in Qin Shaoyang’s eyes.

  However, Su Han was at Qian-level; one casual attack from her was earth-shaking. In contrast, Hao Ren was only at Gen-level. If he couldn’t improve his battle experience, he wouldn’t be able to stand out in the Dragon God Shrine.

  “Don’t flatter me.” Su Han glanced at him and suddenly moved.

  Thud! Thud… Bare-footed, Su Han ran swiftly before suddenly flying up with her sword in hand.

  Frost Shooting Through Nine Heavens!

  A crescent-shaped frost beam swept across the distant stand.

  Boom!

  A whole row of chairs was cut in half.

  In this upheaval, a golden figure flew up into the high sky.

  “Crescent Strike!” Su Han stood straighter and slashed her sword upward.

  Her pajama top rose slightly, revealing a small portion of her white belly.

  Boom!

  Like a flashbang, a silver light beam dashed into the sky as an airwave.

  A groan came from the sky, and Hao Ren recognized it was Qin Shaoyang’s voice.

  “Su Han, do you hate me that much?” Qin Shaoyang’s question came from the void.

  Hao Ren widened his eyes but couldn’t find Qin Shaoyang’s whereabouts.

  “Get out of here!” Su Han landed while her sword shot out another sword energy.

  “You actually like this weak Gen-level brat? I’ll see how you can protect him in the Dragon God Shrine in a few days!” The golden light in the sky vanished in a flash.

  It was clear that Su Han’s sudden attack landed on Qin Shaoyang. He followed them when they flew into the stadium and watched them while they practiced.

  “It seems like I was wrong. The reason why Qin Shaoyang didn’t stop you from enrolling in the exams of the Dragon God Shrine is that he knows I’m no longer a level 4 inspector,” Su Han put away her sword and said lightly.

  Since she wasn’t a level 4 inspector, she couldn’t be an examiner, which meant that she couldn’t do anything to help him during the exams.

  However, Qin Shaoyang was still an examiner, and it would be easy for him to place Hao Ren in a position to fight stronger competitors.

  Since Su Han hoped to drive Qin Shaoyang away through Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang could also strike back using Hao Ren.

  From Qin Shaoyang’s perspective, Hao Ren had little hope of becoming an official inspector, and he hoped that a bad-tempered cultivator could beat Hao Ren so hard that the latter would fall one to two levels in cultivation realm. That would probably trigger some conflict between the East Ocean Dragon Palace and Su Han who had encouraged Hao Ren to participate in the exams in the Dragon God Shrine!

  “No matter what, I’d like to give it a try,” Hao Ren replied.

  Staying in the East Ocean Dragon Palace would give him safety and comfort, but Hao Ren wanted to push himself to a higher realm. After all, he had to toughen himself through battles so that he could ensure Zhao Yanzi’s safety!

  The landslide incident showed him that in the cultivation world, power conquered all! Without great strength, he couldn’t even protect his family!

  Su Han looked baffled at the determination on Hao Ren’s face. After all, she had always kept to herself, and the person whom she trusted most and felt the closest to was her master, Elder Xingyue. She entered the Dragon God Shrine only to get access to better cultivation resources, and that was why she found it hard to understand Hao Ren’s feelings.

  “These… wear them.” Su Han took out five thin silver bracelets from her bracelet.

  “Mount Tai Bracelets?” Hao Ren looked at her with caution and confusion.

  “No, they are not.” Su Han shook her head. “They can elevate your cultivation strength by 50% and thus give you great help when you do the exams in the Dragon God Shrine.”

  Seeing the doubt in Hao Ren’s eyes, Su Han curled her lips up helplessly before looking at him again. “How can I lie to you about this?”

  Standing on the field bare-footed, Su Han looked as beautiful as a moon goddess in the misty starry light.

  “Put two on your wrists, two on your ankles, and one around your neck.” Su Han took hold of his arm before putting them on him intimately.

  The moment the five bracelets were put into position, they immediately merged into Hao Ren’s skin and disappeared.

  “Ok, Try them,” Su Han said gently after taking several steps back

  Hao Ren tightened his fists and circulate
d the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, finding that he couldn’t move his nature essence at all!

  “They are called Five Mountains Bracelets, several times more advanced than the previous Mount Tai Bracelets. They can limit the physical strength and nature essence of the user except for top-tier Qian-level cultivators. However, they are set up so that you can still use 40% of your cultivation strength.”

  Su Han spoke in a low voice as she squinted her eyes; a mischievous smile appeared on her face at the same time.

  “This…” Hao Ren felt as if he was pressed down by five mountains, and it was even difficult to breathe.

  “I’ll remove the Five Mountains Bracelets before your combat exams. You can wear them before the exams, and they would be great helps to you,” Su Han nodded in satisfaction and said cheerfully.

  “Aren’t you too revengeful? I did nothing but touch your shoulder, ruin your slippers, and win in the practice fight!” Hao Ren yelled in his mind.

  “You are covered in wounds. Let’s head back, and I’ll put some medicine on them.” Su Han grabbed Hao Ren’s right hand, and they stepped onto the White Jade Sword and left the damaged stadium.

  395 Hang out in a Big City!!

  It was already late at night when they returned to the apartment.

  “Here!”

  Su Han took a little bottle out of her storage ring and threw it at Hao Ren.

  He opened the bottle, and a pleasant scent came out of it.

  Even though it was not a great elixir, it was still a very decent curing ointment.

  “Thank you very much,” Hao Ren said to Su Han as he took some of the ointment.

  Su Han curled her lips and didn’t say anything.

  She was the one who put the wounds on Hao Ren, yet he was still thanking her. It made her feel a little weird.

  However, it also reminded her of her own master Elder Xingyue. Su Han was the ‘weird kid’ in the East Ocean Dragon Palace because all the other cultivators were water-element while she was both metal-elemental and water-elemental.
