Chapter 157: You Opponent Is Me
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Just when the great artists were stunned by the three bamboos in the painting, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, the pranksters, were preparing for their exams with Hao Ren in a study room in Academic Building D.
What they wanted to draw was the picture of chicken pecking rice, and the three bamboos were a result of their casual brus.h.i.+ngs. However, the staff panicked, thinking that the bamboos were Qin Shaoyang’s work and the picture of chicken pecking rice was someone’s prank which ruined the masterpiece.
Now, wearing Hao Ren’s jacket, the sisters were sitting together and talking about the notes while comparing them to the content in the textbooks.
They were serious with their preparations. They were sitting close together, and their confused expressions and earnestly att.i.tudes created a cute scene.
Hao Ren glanced at their textbooks and found that these books were mostly liberal arts subjects; he didn’t think that the exams would be challenging to the smart sisters.
Occasionally, they were puzzled by some technical terms. However, they would soon understand them after discussing it among themselves. As to the difficult ones, they would ask Hao Ren for an explanation.
Hao Ren found it funny that the sisters would be taking exams in the mortal world.
Time ticked by, and Hao Ren had almost finished preparing for tomorrow’s exams with the photocopied notes that Xie Yujia gave him.
He had mastered cramming for exams; he could cover a half-term’s content in one night and get pa.s.sable scores. This time with Xie Yujia’s notes, it was much easier for him to prepare.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had also finished reviewing all the textbooks of the Film Program. In fact, equipped with their photographic memories, they could even rewrite the books if they wanted to. The problem for them was that they didn’t know how to approach and answer the questions that might be asked on the exams since it was their first time taking them.
Since they wanted to keep Hao Ren company, they had to stay in school. Therefore, they had to pa.s.s the exams not to get kicked out.
“It’s 12 o’clock now. Are you done with your preparations?” after flipping through Xie Yujia’s notes one more time, Hao Ren checked his watch before asking them.
“Yeah!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili both nodded. In fact, they didn’t want to go back home and would rather stay the night with Hao Ren. However, they also didn’t want to exhaust him.
“Let’s go!” Hao Ren packed up his stuff and stood up.
With dark circles under their eyes, the guys in the huge room looked at Hao Ren with jealousy again. Seeing Hao Ren coming and going with two beauties trailing behind him was too much for them to accept.
The campus was quiet, illuminated by the dim light of the street lamps.
Lu Qing had specially arranged a two-bed dorm for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili in the postgraduate residence area located next to Yixin Cafeteria.
While Hao Ren walked them back to their dorm, it suddenly occurred to him that since the sisters were both mid-tier Kun-level Master and he was only at Half Kan-level, he was not qualified to walk them to their dorm as a bodyguard.
However, he was a guy, and it was his duty to walk the girls to their dorm.
“Gongzi, good night! Thank you for your tutoring!” Standing at the door to the Dorm Building, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili waved at Hao Ren.
“Good night!” Hao Ren smiled at them before turning to leave.
Even though there was dim light coming from the street lamps, most of the campus was dark. Hao Ren kept alert while walking back to his dorm.
“What? Are you afraid of my attacks?” Qin Shaoyang, dressed in a suit, suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Hao Ren took half a step back, and a grey sword energy appeared in his palm.
Qin Shaoyang took half a step forward and said, “Now, as an Inspector…”
Before he finished his sentence, Hao Ren abruptly threw out the sword energy with full force.
Startled, Qin Shaoyang immediately put up a golden light s.h.i.+eld in front of him.
Hiss! Hao Ren’s grey sword energy penetrated the light s.h.i.+eld and hit Qin Shaoyang on his chest, burning a hole in his black suit jacket.
With a grunt, he backed off half a step and looked at Hao Ren incredulously.
“How is this possible? His strength is beneath Kan-level! How could he hurt me?” he thought.
In fact, Hao Ren’s full force attack could even burn several hairs off of Zhao Kuo, the No. 1 Cultivator in the mortal world. The golden light s.h.i.+eld Qin Shaoyang had hastily created was nothing.
Hundun Lightning could break the five elements in nature.
“This strike certainly doesn’t belong to the Dragon Tribe!” Qin Shaoyang suddenly remembered the girl who appeared by Hao Ren’s side during the day. He hesitated for a moment before lowering his hands.
“Today, I’ll let you go. I’ll settle the accounts with you at Zhao Yanzi’s birthday party!” Qin Shaoyang threatened.
After all, no outsiders would interfere in a small gathering of the Dragon Tribe.
Ignoring him, Hao Ren walked around Qin Shaoyang and headed for the gate of the school.
Qin Shaoyang turned and looked at Hao Ren until he disappeared around the corner.
He didn’t want to offend people before he understood the situation, so he had to clench his fists and control himself.
Suddenly, Su Han appeared in the darkness.
“Your opponent is me,” she said coldly.
Hiss… A white sword appeared in her hand.
A huge surge of chilly energy instantly swept over the ground.
Swoos.h.!.+ Like a reversing shooting star, Qin Shaoyang flew into the sky. He had been oblivious to Su Han’s presence; if she had launched a sneak attack…
He started to sweat.
The long sword in Su Han’s hand turned into a sheet of white light when she struck it toward Qin Shaoyang!
A golden weaving shuttle appeared in Qin Shaoyang’s hand, and it blocked Su Han’s sword.
Bang! The huge noise woke up half of the students on campus!
Qin Shaoyang felt some numbness in his arm, immediately knowing that Su Han had advanced in Ice Frost Scroll’s level! She was here for revenge!
A dark red light sphere instantly engulfed them.
Bang! Bang! Bang… Inside the light sphere, the collisions made the s.p.a.ce shake violently.
For the students who were studying or sleeping, the whole campus quieted down after that first huge banging noise.
Hao Ren who had been walking toward his dorm in the south also heard the huge sound. Thinking that something dropped to the ground in the construction site in the distance, he ignored it and returned to his dorm with his study materials.
Quickly, he fell asleep.
It was Thursday, and the nerve-wracking mid-term exams had finally come!
Thursday and Friday were exams of fundamental courses such as Advanced Mathematics, University-level Physics, and University-level English.
Even on these two days, Hao Ren still went to Su Han’s office to cultivate after four o’clock.
Cold as usual, she meditated with her eyes closed. Though once in a while, she would open her eyes and give Hao Ren some instructions on his cultivation.
Hao Ren relaxed a bit after the last exam ended on Friday.
He returned to his dorm to get his study materials and other stuff before walking to the bus stop at the main gate of the school. He was going home for the weekend.
After this weekend, the next weekend was Zhao Yanzi’s birthday party.
“Did you know that I saw Qin Shaoyang on Thursday?” some girls standing before him at the bus stop were talking among themselves.
“Oh? How was he?”
“He was there to pack up the exhibition! However, I saw that he had band-aids on his face and hands; he seemed to have scratches on him!”
“Band-aids? He must have looked das.h.i.+ng in them. Maybe he put them on for fas.h.i.+on purposes as like some of the celebrities!” a girl said excitedly.
Hao Ren was surprised that a master like Qin Shaoyang got wounded and didn’t recover right away.
“If he only had minor scratches on his face and hands that could be cover by band-aids, it seems that his opponent went easy on him. Who was the person that wounded this arrogant Inspector?” he thought.
