Chapter 187: Special Group

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

After dinner, Hao Ren began tutoring Zhao Yanzi. He planned to give her an overview of the courses in the second term.

He began with Math and gave her an outline for each chapter. After all, the Grade Eight Math was a little tricky. In her pajamas, Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips but listened quite attentively.

Hao Ren sat on the wooden chair next to her. Shoulder to shoulder, they presented an intimate picture if anyone looked at them from behind.

Zhao Yanzi’s pink and delicate skin made her face look like a small apple that was just picked from a tree. Hao Ren could even feel the warmth of her shoulder beneath her pajama top.

Now that they were familiar with each other, Zhao Yanzi was no longer alarmed about these small intimacies. When Hao Ren tutored her earlier on, she had always kept a distance of half a meter and was always cautious.

After Math, Hao Ren continued with English. Although languages needed time to comprehend, Hao Ren tried to single out the key points so that she would not be unfamiliar to them on tests. If she mastered the different sentence structures, the English tests in middle school would be a piece of cake.

Zhao Yanzi was quite smart, and her only problem in the past had been her reluctance to study. Since she had listened attentively, when Hao Ren quizzed her at the end of the session, she came up with the right answers promptly.

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on Zhao Yanzi’s door.

“Mom, come in!” Zhao Yanzi called out.

Zhao Hongyu entered with a smile. “Ren, I chose some beginner’s books for you. You can take them with you and study them when you are free.”

“Isn’t he staying here for the night?” Zhao Yanzi asked immediately.

“Do you want Ren to sleep here?” Zhao Hongyu asked her.

Realizing her mistake, Zhao Yanzi curled her lips and didn’t know what to say.

“Ren, you can sleep here if you want,” seeing Zhao Yanzi’s pout, Zhao Hongyu smiled again and said to Hao Ren.

“No, thank you. I better go back,” Hao Ren stood up and said.

“Go! Go!” Zhao Yanzi raised her head and yelled.

Zhao Hongyu smiled, giving a small pat on her forehead.

“Auntie, I’m going now. I’ll come over tomorrow to tutor Zi.” Hao Ren picked up the architectural design books Zhao Hongyu gave him.

After Hao Ren walked out of the room, Zhao Hongyu gently pinched Zhao Yanzi’s cheek. “Today, I got another phone call from you cla.s.s advisor complaining about you.”

“Oh? What did she say?” Zhao Yanzi’s eyes widened.

“She said that when your boyfriend came to the school, you hugged him. The gossips around it had spread all over the school.” Zhao Hongyu looked at her. “It was Hao Ren, wasn’t it?”

“Mom, it isn’t like that…” Zhao Yanzi blushed and tried to explain.

“I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to listen…” Copying Zhao Yanzi, Zhao Hongyu covered her ears with her hands and walked out of her room.

While Zhao Yanzi raged in her room, Hao Ren drove the Ferrari back to his dorm in East Ocean University.

When he got back to the dorm, Zhao Jiayi and the others rushed over and insisted that he should buy them a meal. After all, they were traumatized by Hao Ren, the ‘Winner in Life,’ who had lunch with the Lu sisters at Hongji Square and drove around with the beautiful Cla.s.s President.

Since all of his defenses were useless, Hao Ren got more than ten dinners delivered to the dorm, treating his buddies and the guys from nearby dorms. Comforted by the food, they stopped their indignant complaints.

“Zhao Jiayi, how are the basketball practices?” Eating a box of fried rice noodles, Hao Ren asked.

“I train every day. Today, I practiced until nine,” Zhao Jiayi said.

“Zhao Jiayi has now become one of the main players on the Basketball Team, and he will become the Captain of the team very soon!” Zhou Liren yelled. He patted Zhao Jiayi on the arm and said, “Then, you can recruit me onto the team. Now, girls are inviting you to meals, but I have nothing.”

“You are not good enough.” Zhao Jiayi lightly slapped his hand off.

“Zhao Jiayi is awesome. The whole Basketball Team is under his command,” Cao Ronghua chimed in.

“Is it because Xie Wanjun is going abroad?” Hao Ren asked.

“How did you know?” Zhao Jiayi asked curiously. Then, it dawned on him. “Oh, Xie Yujia must have told you that. It’s no big deal. Since he has been busy recently, he let me act as the temporary Captain.”

Temporary Captain. Most likely, Zhao Jiayi would be the Captain after Xie Wanjun goes abroad.

“Yeah. Zhao Jiayi is a big figure now. Girls are trying to date him, and some even went to the stadium to watch him practice. I should have joined the Basketball Team, too!” Zhou Liren lamented regretfully.

Hao Ren grinned and asked Zhao Jiayi, “When does this year’s season begin?”

“The first match is next week. We were one of the best last year, so we don’t have to compete with the universities in East Ocean City and have advanced directly to the second round. We’ll have an away match with Sanmu University in Xinan City. Sanmu University got the eighth place last year,” Zhao Jiayi said.

“According to the Cla.s.s President, our cla.s.s will book a bus and go to the match, following the school bus that is taking the Basketball Team. Since it’s only a two-hour drive from here, Xie Yujia said the trip would be counted as a cla.s.s activity and hoped that every one of our cla.s.smates could go and cheer on the team. However, she insisted on paying for the bus from her pocket instead of using the cla.s.s fund,” Cao Ronghua said.

Since Hao Ren hasn’t been living in the dorm recently, he was not aware of the activities of the cla.s.s. He guessed that Xie Yujia paid for the cla.s.s trip so that more people would be willing to go and cheer for Zhao Jiayi.

The guys got excited about the topic of the cla.s.s trip. Xinan City was not far from East Ocean City, and there were several attractions to see. Besides, Sanmu University’s Film Program was said to be full of beautiful girls…

Hao Ren didn’t join their discussion. Instead, he carried the architectural design books to his upper berth to read.

“Below Fifth Heaven is the mortal world, above Fifth Heaven is the world of the cultivators, and above Ninth Heaven is the world of Immortals.” Suddenly, Hao Ren remembered what Zhao Hongyu had told him.

The dragons could move freely in the ocean, on the land, and below Eighth Heaven. However, they couldn’t freely enter the territories of the sect.

The East Ocean Dragon Clan had a history of more than 1,000 years, and the prominent sects probably also had a history as long as 1,000 years. If the six major sects didn’t drag each other into the fierce war which resulted in a substantial carnage of human cultivators, those dominant cultivation sects wouldn’t be forced to ascend to Fifth Heaven and up, and the Dragon Tribe wouldn’t be able to get control over the land.

Su Han said that it had taken great risk for her to get the Metal-Water Mystic Crystal. Now thinking about it, maybe she had ventured into Fifth Heaven and had stolen or grabbed it from one of the powerful sects.

Otherwise, she would never have found such a natural treasure in this mortal world. Here, even West Ocean Mystic Ice, the lowest-grade water-elemental Mystic Crystals, were treated as superior treasures by the West Ocean Dragon Clan.

Due to the large number of dragons and their simple cultivation process, a lot of them had reached Zhen-level which was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm of human cultivators. If a war broke out between the dragon and human cultivators, the Dragon Tribe would prevail since they had more mid-ranked cultivators, and that was why the major cultivation sects went to Fifth Heaven.

“Well, I wonder what these cultivation sects look like.” Hao Ren couldn’t help but wonder.

He dozed off, and the morning came in the blink of an eye.

As usual, Hao Ren went with his roommates to eat breakfast in the cafeteria before going to cla.s.s. The difference was that his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was now in constant circulation, and the Dragon Core was automatically absorbing the essence from nature.

He activated his Nature Essence and found that the mid-aged lady selling Youtiao was emitting a pale blue light; the guy drinking soy milk had a bright blue light; the girl in a black dress who was messing with other girls around her had a green light; the guy checking his cell phone had a grey light; a teacher with gla.s.ses had a red light; a middle-aged man who was driving on campus had a yellow light; and in the distance, the man doing Tai Chi in the small forest had a green light…

Among the large group of people milling around in the school, they stood out even though there weren’t many of them.

After reaching Kan-level, it was the first time Hao Ren realized that dragons surrounded him!

Those masters who were two realms higher than Hao Ren and could conceal their auras from him and those Inspectors who could completely conceal their presence couldn’t be detected by Hao Ren. Therefore, there might be even more dragons around him than what he saw.

The dragons merged into the mortal world. If they didn’t cultivate techniques of the Dragon Tribe, other cultivators wouldn’t be able to tell their ident.i.ties.

He looked at Zhou Liren, Zhao Jiayi, and Cao Ronghua and found no lights on them. After all, there weren’t that many dragon cultivators compared with the number of mortal beings.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth; white, green, blue, red, yellow.

On his way to the cla.s.s, Hao Ren didn’t see a single person with a white light which proved the rarity of the metal-elemental dragons!

Most of the auras Hao Ren sensed were blue. There were thousands of water-elemental dragons who came from branches of river, lake, and ocean.

The brighter the light, the higher the realm the cultivator was in. Hao Ren looked down at himself and saw that the light on him was very dim.

It meant that the other cultivators could tell that he was only on Kan-level.

No wonder they ignored him!

Although Hao Ren had gotten out of the ‘kindergarten’ level by breaking through the Spirit Concentration Scroll, Kan-level was actually the level of ‘elementary school.’

In the circles of the dragons, if one were lower than Zhen-level, he or she would be ashamed to greet others.

However, Hao Ren was cultivating five elements at once, so he was equivalent to five Kan-level cultivators!

Entering the cla.s.sroom, Hao Ren glanced around and found no cultivators here besides himself. Xie Yujia walked in with her backpack, talking and laughing with Ma Lina. Hao Ren looked at her carefully and saw no light on her.

“Hey! Did you know that after Lu Linlin and Lu Lili joined the Taekwondo Club yesterday, lots of students swarmed to the club? The President of the Taekwondo Club is exhilarated!” Yu Rong leaned over and said.

“They also joined the Swimming Club, and 300 students joined the club after them!” Gu Jiadong said.

“d.a.m.n! They are perverts who just want to see Lu Linlin and Lu Lili in swimsuits!” Huang Jianfeng yelled indignantly.

“Didn’t you join too?!” Yu Rong turned and gave him a dirty look.

“I… I need to lose weight!” Huang Jianfeng explained lamely.

Hao Ren rubbed his forehead, wondering what the girls were up to.

Undoubtedly, the clubs they joined would dim the glamour of Huang Xujie’s club.

“Gongzi…” a crisp voice came from the door.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili entered the cla.s.sroom hand in hand. They were wearing thin and light long-sleeved floral blouses and jeans that accentuated their long slim legs. The only difference between them was that one had a ponytail and the other had pigtails. Their appearances dazzled the guys.

“What… Are you doing here?” Hao Ren asked.

“We are here to keep you company during cla.s.s.” They smiled.
