Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Back on land, Hao Ren drove Zhao Guang’s black Chevrolet back to East Ocean City with Premier Xia who needed to talk with Elder Lu and Elder Sun about some issues.
Of course, he was protecting Hao Ren in some sense.
Hao Ren dropped Premier Xia at Lu Qing’s apartment building before driving to Zhao Yanzi’s home to return the car.
Since it was already 11 o’clock when he got there, Hao Ren spent the night in Zhao Yanzi’s home.
The next morning, the three of them had breakfast without Zhao Guang there.
“Auntie, could you explain to me the process of going from Kan-level to Li-level?” Hao Ren asked while eating a sandwich.
Now that he was on Kan-level, his agreement with Su Han was over. Since he thought that it was not proper to ask her questions about cultivation anymore, he took the opportunity to ask Zhao Hongyu.
“It’s not difficult for one to get to Li-level from Kan-level.” Zhao Hongyu poured milk into her gla.s.s with a gentle hand.
“You know, unlocking the first opening in the Dragon Core brought you to Kan-level, and you need to unlock ten openings to reach Li-level. To reach Zhen-level, you need to unlock 40 openings.”
Hao Ren nodded, thinking that he was one step closer to Li-level since he had unlocked two openings already. If he could go on at this speed, he would reach Li-level in two weeks. But as the process goes on, cultivation would get harder, and it would probably take longer to achieve that goal.
Seeming to have sensed Hao Ren’s thoughts, Zhao Hongyu said, “It takes longer for you since you are cultivating the five elements simultaneously. Although Zhao Guang has low regards for your Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, I think you are progressing steadily, and that will bring great benefits to your future cultivation.”
“Thank you for your encouragement!” Hao Ren smiled.
Zhao Hongyu smiled as well and was more appreciative of Hao Ren. In the past, she just wanted him to take care of Zi and keep her safe with his kindness and patience. But now seeing his persistence, modesty, intelligence, and diligence, she had high hopes for him.
Pouting, Zhao Yanzi didn’t join the conversation. She had not finished her homework last night, and all that she could think about now was how to get to the school early and copy Ling’s homework.
“Oh, you can drive the Ferrari today. I ordered the SUV, and I’m planning to drive it back home today. I can’t park it in the garage with the Ferrari in there,” Zhao Hongyu said.
“Ok.” Hao Ren had a headache at the thought that he had to drive the Ferrari to school. However, it wouldn’t be safe if he parked it outside the campus.
After breakfast, Zhao Hongyu drove Zhao Yanzi to school while Hao Ren drove the s.h.i.+ny Ferrari to East Ocean University.
When he stopped at a red light, Hao Ren touched the necklace dangling before his chest. He activated it with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and opened the s.p.a.ce in the necklace.
It had been late when he returned to Zhao Yanzi’s home last night, and he went to bed without studying the necklace. Refreshed in the morning, he began to explore the hidden s.p.a.ce in it.
The hidden s.p.a.ce in the necklace was as big as a room. Right now, it was empty.
Picking up an empty candy box in the car, he tried to put it in the s.p.a.ce but failed.
He tried with other small objects in the car, and the results were the same.
“Is it a fake s.p.a.ce?” Hao Ren was baffled.
After a moment of consideration, he took off the bell that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili gave him and tried to put it in the s.p.a.ce.
Swoos.h.!.+ The s.p.a.ce instantly sucked the golden bell inside.
Surprised, Hao Ren immediately opened the s.p.a.ce and tried to take the golden bell out.
After two attempts, he took the bell out of the s.p.a.ce. After slipping the golden bell back onto his wrist, he thought for a while before untying the two cultivation accessories from the necklace and tossing them into the s.p.a.ce.
The two items were sucked in. One was the amber that Zhao Yanzi gave him to help him absorb the water elements, and the other was the golden pearl that Su Han gave him to him absorb the metal elements.
He took them out of the s.p.a.ce in the necklace and put them back onto the chain. Then, he tried again with the empty box and failed.
After experimenting, Hao Ren finally understood that the hidden s.p.a.ce in the necklace was not for the ordinary objects. It was a s.p.a.ce that could only store objects with spirit, or in other words, treasures.
As to the objects in the mortal world such as cakes and pencils, they couldn’t enter the s.p.a.ce.
Honk! The cars behind him honked together. Hao Ren looked up and found that the light was green again and the cars in other lanes were already moving forward.
He pulled the gear lever, and the Ferrari accelerated abruptly, instantly leaving a distance of more than ten meters between him and the honking cars behind him.
He drove the car to the southern dorm area to get his books. When the Ferrari entered the dorm area, it caught everyone’s eyes.
East Ocean University didn’t lack rich students; a couple of days ago, Huang Xujie had just shown off his Mercedes-Benz S350 in the school. However, no one expected that someone would drive a Ferrari to school!
It was obvious who was more eye-catching!
Of course, Hao Ren didn’t want to attract attention. After this week, he planned to go home and park it in his garage for Zhao Hongyu. The garage in his home was s.p.a.cious enough to park four cars.
When he entered the dorm room to get his textbook, Zhao Jiayi and the other two were coming out. Not mentioning anything about the car, Hao Ren walked downstairs with them.
“F*uk! Whose car is this? Such a show-off!” Seeing the Ferrari parked at the entrance of the dorm building, Zhao Jiayi was the first to yell.
“How much does it cost? Who is the guy that drove such a car to school? It would definitely impress the girls!” Tucking the books under his arm, Zhou Liren walked over and touched it cautiously before a thought occurred to him.
“No! This is a male dorm building; it should be parked in front of the female dorm building if he wants to impress them!”
Cao Ronghua walked around to peek at the plate before looking at the car in detail. “This car… looks quite familiar.”
Beep!
The lights of the car turned on suddenly.
Zhou Liren, who had been touching it, jumped back immediately, thinking that he had activated the alarm by touching it.
They were surprised when they saw Hao Ren tossing his bag into the storage s.p.a.ce in the car before opening the driver side door and getting into the convertible sports car.
“F*uk!!!”
Zhao Jiayi, Zhou Liren, and Cao Ronghua yelled at the same time.
“I have s.p.a.ce for one of you!” Sitting before the steering wheel, Hao Ren turned to them and said.
Zhao Jiayi reacted the quickest. He pushed Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua aside before pulling open the door and getting into the seat beside Hao Ren.
“Me too! Me too!” Zhou Liren put one foot in the car and yelled.
“Go! Go! You’ll be next!” Zhao Jiayi pushed him out.
Hao Ren chuckled and started the car, leaving Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua behind.
“F*uk! You are rich!” Sitting in the car, Zhao Jiayi couldn’t contain his excitement.
The car drove out of the dorm area and onto the campus. Hao Ren just nodded with a smile as a response to Zhao Jiayi, and his swag looked faked in Zhao Jiayi’s eyes.
The feeling of driving a Ferrari was indeed different. Although they drove slowly around campus, Zhao Jiayi enjoyed himself very much as the girls on the road cast glances at them.
Xie Yujia was riding a bike before them. She glanced at the Ferrari when it pa.s.sed her, and she froze when she saw that the driver was Hao Ren.
Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia in his rear-view mirror. Thinking that it was not a good idea to stop the car and talk to her, he continued to drive to Academic Building C.
Reluctantly, Zhao Jiayi jumped off the car, thinking that it would be awesome if he could drive it. However, among the guys in their dorm, only Hao Ren had his driver’s license, and Zhao Jiayi had never driven a car beside playing racing games on the computer.
The students coming and going from Academic Building C saw Hao Ren and Zhao Jiayi getting off the Ferrari, and Zhao Jiayi quite enjoyed their disgusted and jealous glances.
Zhao Jiayi was usually disgusted with the behavior of rich kids, but he felt different when he was the one who got to cla.s.s in a Ferrari.
With the remote control, Hao Ren locked the car and raised the roof. Zhao Jiayi was envious of this, and he was also regretful that he couldn’t drive it even if he could get the key from Hao Ren.
They entered the cla.s.sroom. Shortly, Xie Yujia, Zhou Liren, Cao Ronghua, and others came into the room.
Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua trotted over, still panting. “Tell the truth! Are you… A kept man of a rich woman?”
From the look of him, he had been running after the Ferrari to the cla.s.s.
“Ok, I’ll stop messing with you. Someone loaned the car to me, and I’ll return it after this week,” Hao Ren said.
“How could someone loan you a Ferrari so casually?” Zhou Liren widened his eyes. “When did you make such a rich friend?”
Hao Ren smiled and ignored his question.
Cao Ronghua was deep in thought. “Is it the car that the beautiful office lady drove?”
At this reminder, Zhou Liren remembered it too.
“Right! That beauty once drove the Ferrari to pick you up! No wonder it looks familiar!”
Knowing that they were referring to Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren didn’t deny it and said, “Yeah. I borrowed the car for a short while.”
You’re indeed kept…” Zhou Liren yelled.
Hao Ren covered his mouth, knowing what he was going to say.
Xie Yujia looked back toward the noisy group. Glancing at Hao Ren, she sighed slightly.
When Hao Ren’s eyes met Xie Yujia’s clear gaze, his heart lurched.
“The Cla.s.s President looked back at you again. You are indeed charming with that Ferrari!” Zhou Liren b.u.mped Hao Ren with his arm and said.
Hao Ren smiled helplessly, knowing that they would never understand Xie Yujia.
