Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “Don’t move, Little White!” Feeling the agitation in Little White, Hao Ren said quickly

  As Hao Ren’s spirit beast, Little White understood his words and lied down again while looking at Hao Ren with its black eyes.

  This act was called ‘pressing the beast temple.’

  Demon beasts had different meridians from human cultivators, and the layout of demon beasts’ acupoints was very different from those of humans’ as well.

  The so-called transformation meant that the demon beasts would change into human forms after passing the Heavenly Tribulation, gaining the same meridians as the human cultivators. They would have smoother cultivation experiences this way and could charge at the second Heavenly Tribulation.

  The dragon cultivators were technically demon beasts as well, but they were born in human forms and had the same meridians.

  In addition, equipped with dragon cores, they were the group of creatures who enjoyed the easiest cultivation process.

  As long as they reached Dui-level, the dragon cultivators could activate their primitive demonic bloodline and transform into their dragon forms.

  Different species of demon beasts had different meridians and acupoints, but they all had an important acupoint in the center of their foreheads, and it was called Beast Temple.

  Hao Ren’s nature essence entered Little White’s meridians through the Beast Temple Acupoint, and Hao Ren was able to sense the structure of its meridians.

  Of course, the act of pressing the demon temple must be done with the demon beasts’ trust. Otherwise, the demon beasts would get violent and hurt the cultivators who tried it. After all, the demon beasts’ demonic energy was quite powerful, and the repulsion force generated by the Beast Temple Acupoint would be strong.

  Lying obediently, Little White tried its best to control itself despite the discomfort caused by Hao Ren’s nature essence that was traveling in its body.

  A map of meridians began to take shape in Hao Ren’s mind while a white bead near Little White’s belly was blinking vaguely; it was Little White’s internal core.

  Also, there were four golden pieces on Little White’s paws; they were the set of dharma treasures that Zhen Congming put in its paws.

  The important acupoints began to show one by one.

  The intersections of the meridians were the acupoints in Little White’s body. The Beast Temple Acupoint itself was the intersection of three main meridians.

  “Hu…” While Hao Ren’s nature essence traveled slowly through its meridians, Little White was no longer stiff. Instead, it relaxed on the desk and let out sounds like snores with pleasure.

  This tingling feeling was more enjoyable than a massage!

  Little White was enjoying it, but Hao Ren felt tired. It was a great test of his spiritual senses and nature essence to nurture Little White’s body with the Transformation Scroll.

  At level 3, Little White’s realm was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm. Hao Ren’s Gen-level was also equivalent to the Core Formation Realm, and his overall strength was probably no greater than Little White’s.

  Since Little White was a demon beast with dual elemental attributes of water and fire, Hao Ren withdrew the other three elements of his five-elemental nature essences. He used only the water-elemental and fire-elemental nature essences to rub the area around Little White’s demon core.

  Through the Transformation Scroll, the high-level cultivators could nurture and communicate with demon beasts.

  After Hao Ren did that for a while, a bust of water-elemental and fire-elemental nature essences rushed out of Little White’s internal core.

  “Don’t move!” Hao Ren’s left hand pressed gently onto an important acupoint on Little White’s back.

  Little White’s pure demonic energy rushed out of its forehead and entered Hao Ren’s chest through his right arm before going to his left arm and returning to its back.

  Like the loops of Tai Chi, Little White’s demonic energy and Hao Ren’s nature essence began to circulate smoothly!

  567 Battle of Dharma Treasures!

  Boom… Boom… Little White’s tremendous demonic energy swung between Hao Ren’s arms like a huge iron ball, and it almost stifled him when it traveled through his chest.

  Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could release the nature essence from his body into nature, and he was directing Little White’s demonic energy to form a great circulatory cycle outside its body.

  The cultivators looked to be motionless when they were cultivating, but the natural essences in their bodies were circulating continuously. The more active the nature essence was, the smoother the communication with nature became, and the higher the realm would be.

  The so-called Transformation Scroll was the cultivation technique for demon beasts. Since Little White had not activated its intelligence yet, it needed Hao Ren to cultivate for it.

  Little White’s internal core was a level 3 demon internal core, which was why its demonic energy was very pure. For human cultivators, demon beasts’ internal cores were valuable elixirs.

  While Hao Ren was unblocking Little White’s acupoints, he was nurturing his own meridians in the process.

  High-level demon beasts’ internal cores were valuable materials that cultivators fought for since demon beasts’ bloodlines were similar to those of the primitive godly beasts, and the energy in the internal cores far surpassed the internal cores condensed by cultivators. The higher level a demon beast was, the more ancient bloodline was activated, and more valuable the internal core was.

  As a level 3 demon beast, even though ancient godly beast bloodline was thin in Little White’s body, the full energy released from its internal core was quite tremendous.

  Hao Ren closed his eyes and moved the five-elemental nature essences to the limit while Little White’s internal core released even more demonic energy.

  In theory, nature essence and demonic energy were the same. They were both essences from nature and came out as five-elemental energy. The combination of two energies brought brand-new vibrancy to Hao Ren’s body.

  Similarly, Little White’s pure demonic energy became even purer after the exchange.

  With the Transformation Scroll, Hao Ren helped Little White eliminate the impurities from its body, improve its physique, and made its godly beast bloodline more distinct.

  If all the impurities in Little White’s body could be eliminated, it could activate its ancient bloodline and become a godly beast!

  In the office, Hao Ren sank into the deepest cultivation state with all his pores open, and the impurities in his body oozed out with the purification of Little White’s bloodline.

  While nurturing the spirit beast, Hao Ren and Little White formed a true relationship of master and pet.

  “Hu…”

  Hao Ren exhaled deeply and withdrew his hands which had become a bit numb.

  Little White felt so comfortable that it had almost fallen asleep. Feeling Hao Ren withdrawing his hands, it shook its head and stood up on the desk before moving to Hao Ren’s side and nibbling his fingers intimately.

  Hao Ren was fatigued after sorting through Little White’s meridians, but he gained a stronger bond with it. Little White felt relaxed and refreshed all over with more abundant demonic energy in its internal core.

  A layer of black matter had appeared on Hao Ren’s skin, which was the result of cleansing his own meridians while he applied the Transformation Scroll on Little White.

  Although Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could release and withdraw sword energies, Hao Ren had always focused on absorbing nature essence and hadn’t cleaned the impurities in his body since he didn’t know how.

  Hao Ren took off his shirt and washed it in the sink. After spinning it dry, he put it back on.

  Standing on the edge of the desk, Little White wagged its tail and looked at Hao Ren in gratitude.

  Hao Ren pulled open the curtain and realized that it was already night. About seven hours had passe
d without him noticing while he nurtured the meridians for Little White!

  It was 9:30 PM already; he was already half an hour late for the scheduled fight.

  “Let’s go!” Hao Ren opened the window and tossed out Little White before quickly releasing a red energy sphere.

  Hovering in the air, Little White’s paws released golden flames. When Hao Ren jumped out of the window, it immediately transformed into its snow lion form and flew toward the sports field in the north with Hao Ren on its back.

  In the sports field that was mostly used as a soccer field, over 500 members of the Calligraphy Club stood on the tracks around the field, forming a big circle.

  Wearing shorts, sneakers and a plaid shirt, Xu Ke stood in the middle of the field.

  Hao Ren took out a level 4 essence replenishment pill from his necklace and swallowed it, instantly refilled his body.

  “Here he comes! Here he comes!”

  The members of the Calligraphy Club shouted at the arrival of Hao Ren.

  Most of them had never seen Little White’s snow lion form before, and they were stunned when they saw Little White flying over with its paws enveloped in flames.

  Most of them didn’t dare to fight a demon beast like Little White.

  Bang!

  Little White landed on the field, and the shaking it caused was so great that it felt like a ten-ton truck was passing by.

  With such tremendous force, its paws could send any ordinary cultivators flying by 500 to 600 meters.

  “Little White, stand over there.” Hao Ren stood on the field and pointed to a spot on the side.

  Little White scratched its nose with its paw and changed back into its puppy form. Then, it trotted to the edge of the field like a rolling white ball of fur and stood by Lu Qi’s feet.

  Those young cultivators looked at Little White, not daring to think little of this ‘puppy.’

  “Senior, I’ve waited for you for a long time,” Xu Ke looked at Hao Ren and said sincerely.

  His tone was calm; there weren’t traces of sarcasm or mockery.

  “I’m late.” Hao Ren waved his hand and didn’t explain.

  He looked around the field and saw a black or white chess piece inlaid in the grass every half a meter; they were a part of the middle-scale array formation Lu Qi had built.

  Hao Ren was surprised that Lu Qi understood array formations, and he was even more convinced that Lu Qi was a talented guy.

  The array formation surrounding the field was like the energy sphere that the cultivators put up before fights, but this one was larger, and the cultivators had more space to move around.

  Looking at Xu Ke, Hao Ren backed off several steps and raised his hands lightly.

  Immediately, 160 white sword energies appeared around Hao Ren.

  “Wow! Awesome…”

  “It’s said that Brother Hao used this technique in the Dragon God Shrine…”

  All kinds of gasps sounded among the members of the Calligraphy Club who were standing on the edge of the sports field.

  The sword energies circled Hao Ren slowly.

  It was dark since the sports field was illuminated only by the streetlights on the road outside, making Hao Ren’s 160 sword energies especially radiant.

  “Go!” Hao Ren sent his 160 sword energies flying toward Xu Ke.

  Many of the young cultivators had never seen attacks with condensed sword energies before, and they widened their eyes.

  Standing 100 meters from Hao Ren, Xu Ke raised his right hand lightly, and a golden disk appeared in front of him.

  “Oh, natal dharma treasure!”

  One cultivator standing on the edge of the field yelled.

  Only natal dharma treasures could be summoned from the body at will.

  Hao Ren’s 160 sword energies struck the disk and were turned into broken white light.

  When the surrounding cultivators were disappointed by Hao Ren’s sword energies, another 160 sword energies suddenly appeared around Xu Ke!

  As long as the nature essences were not scattered, the sword energies existed!

  Hao Ren’s sword energies could retake shape immediately after breaking!

  Having reached mid-tier Gen-level, he had an excellent mastery of the sword energies. Any cultivator who didn’t know about Hao Ren’s power would be killed by one strike!

  All 160 sword energies were pointing at Xu Ke in a circle parallel to the ground.

  “He’s surrounded!” The cultivators around the field exclaimed excitedly. Now that they were following Hao Ren, they naturally hoped that Hao Ren would be as powerful as possible.

  Hao Ren’s two simple attacks showed them that they were no match for him.

  However, they didn’t know that Hao Ren was just testing Xu Ke and hadn’t unleashed his full force yet!

  The sword energies rotated around Xu Ke rapidly and turned into an invisible disk to naked eyes, slashing toward Xu Ke’s chest.

  “Senior, I need to go back and study soon. Come on and show me your real strength instead of testing me.” Xu Ke’s right hand lightly pointed at the sky, and the golden disk immediately grew larger. It enveloped Xu Ke and blocked Hao Ren’s sword energies.

  One-line Snake Array Formation!

  The sword energies that bounced off the golden shield suddenly formed a line before shooting toward Xu Ke like 160 strong arrows one after another.

  The surrounding young cultivators were astonished, knowing that the sword energies would pierce a big hole in their bodies if they were targeted.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Xu Ke retreated three steps, but his golden shield blocked Hao Ren’s sword energies!

  However, his nature essence around his body was fluctuating, making it hard for Hao Ren to see his real realm. It must be one of the effects of this shield-shaped dharma treasure!

  The One-line Snake Array Formation created by the 160 sword energies would have pierced a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but Xu Ke had blocked it!

  “Senior, if you can win, I’ll give you my dharma treasure. However, if you lose, I want a copy of Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!” Xu Ke laughed while his shield-shaped dharma treasure released golden lights.

  568 Supreme… Spiritual Treasure?!

  Dang… Sounding like a gong, the golden shield forced away the sword energies that were released by Hao Ren.

  The white sword energies scattering in the air lit up the sports field as if it were daytime. If not for the array formation, the ordinary students in the dorm buildings would be alerted.

  Hao Ren tightened his fists, and the 160 sword energies turned from white to red.

  Not as dazzling as the white sword energies, the red ones looked shifty in the darkness. Red represented the fire elements, and these sword energies could suppress metal elements according to laws of nature.

  The young cultivators were so astounded that they became speechless when they saw the sword energies turning red instantly.

  Hua… Another 160 sword energies flew up into the high sky before twirling back down. They were green wood-elemental sword energies!

  Two Dragons Array Formation! Wood creates fire, and fire suppresses metal!

  Two long sword arrays empowered each other while they struck toward Xu Ke!

  “Awesome!” Pleased instead of startled, Xu Ke tossed out the golden shield.

  Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

  The golden round shield turned to four, then to eight, sixteen… Instantly, it turned into 64 shields which formed a wall!

  It looked radiating and flashy!

  “This dharma treasure is awesome…” Standing on the edge of the field, Lu Qi couldn’t help exclaiming.

  Due to the scarcity of dharma treasure masters among the dragon cultivators, the battles between dragon cultivators rarely involved dharma treasures.

  However, Xu Ke’s dharma treasure was obviously powerful, more versatile than the chessboard dharma treasure Lu Qi Had borrowed from the senior elder of Wude Forrest durin
g the general exams of the Dragon God Shrine.

  The other cultivators were even more dazed. Most of them didn’t have a good dharma treasure, so they were envious when they saw the shield-shaped dharma treasure that could do such a thing.

  Pu! Pu… Hao Ren’s sword energies shot onto the shield like hot water against ice blocks, but they were turned into white steam before vanishing completely as muffled noises sounded.

  “My master gave me this dharma treasure. Senior, if you like it, I’ll give it to you as a gift,” Xu Ke called out to Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren knew that his 320 sword energies had all been absorbed by the golden shield which was obviously not an ordinary metal-elemental dharma treasure.

  The 320 sword energies were not a small amount of nature essence, and Hao Ren would have panicked if it had been before. However, Hao Ren was testing the strength of Xu Ke’s dharma treasure, and he only lost one round instead of being defeated.

  Hua! Hua! The 640 sword energies suddenly rose beside Hao Ren!

  The young cultivators around the field were dumbfounded with disbelief. It was hard enough for one person to control 320 sword energies, but now Hao Ren had summoned 640 sword energies!

  With a casual wave of his right hand, the 640 colorful sword energies flew across the sky.

  Several sword energies passed the edge of the field, and the chilling aura brought cold sweat to some young cultivators when the sword energies swooshed past them.

  These sword energies were not only energies but swords with chilling presence!

  “Senior, this is awesome!” Xu Ke looked at the sword energies in pleasant surprise and praised again.

  He looked delighted as if he were appreciating an awesome technique, seeming oblivious to the fact that sword energies surrounded him.

  With a light snort, Hao Ren accelerated his sword energies which shot toward Xu Ke randomly.

  It looked as if a big group of wasps was dashing toward Xu Ke.

  “Senior, you sure are merciless!” Xu Ke yelled, and the 64 metal shields suddenly split into countless small round shields.

  Each shield was as small as a palm, but they were swift and quick. They automatically blocked Hao Ren’s sword energies in a wave of golden light.
