Chapter 428: What I Need……
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Tens of thousands of sword energies!
Hum… Hum… The sword energies spread around Hao Ren and blinked.
The nature essence fluctuation suppressed the power of the cultivators around the arena.
If so many sword energies formed a sword array, even the Daluo Golden Immortal could not escape from it!
The low-leveled cultivators almost cried when they imagined the scenario where the sword energies trapped them.
Hua… Tens of thousands of sword energies turned their tips toward Qin Shaoyang.
Looking up at Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang’s face was now ashen.
He felt like he could get the chance to experience the feeling of being pierced by tens of thousands sword energies in the heart.
Hao Ren’s right hand casually pointed forward.
The east exam area was empty since all the arenas had been turned into ruins. Having no place to hide, Qin Shaoyang couldn’t flee from these tens of thousands of sword energies.
His expression was even worse than crying.
As amba.s.sadors of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, the inspectors could send signals for help with their tokens when they were in danger, so the nearby inspectors or masters from the Dragon G.o.d Shrine could come to their rescue. Usually, inspectors could only send such signals when they were in deadly dangers or when they couldn’t get out of traps.
However, Qin Shaoyang was fighting a one vs. one battle with Hao Ren on the platform of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, which was the home base of inspectors. It would be a disgrace for him to send out a signal for help.
Besides, he declared himself that this compet.i.tor had no limits.
Directed by Hao Ren’s finger, tens of thousands of sword energies suddenly moved.
Su Han squinted and counted; there were roughly 40,000 sword energies under Hao Ren’s command!
The 40,000 sword energies moved simultaneously; it was a magnificent sight.
It felt like giant mountains and seas that were made from sword energies were moving.
If the sword energies moved at high speed, they could turn Qin Shaoyang into a beehive.
Su Han gripped her longsword and thought, “I’m no match for the sword energies since my White Jade Sword isn’t that top-tier.”
However, Hao Ren didn’t move the sword energies at high speed; instead, he lowered them meter by meter!
Standing on his golden weaving shuttle, Qin Shaoyang lowered himself from the sky one meter at a time as well.
If he fled, he would lose, but if he didn’t, he was no match for the tens of thousands of sword energies!
He only hoped that the surrounding inspectors could offer help.
However, the six deputy examiners were no fools, and none of them dared to make a move against so many sword energies. As to the level 1 and level 2 inspectors who were responsible for keeping order, they were holding their breaths in fear.
The black Dragon G.o.d Shrine was also silent.
Standing on the rock tower made of debris, Hao Ren raised his hands.
The tens of thousands of sword energies pulled back meter by meter.
The overwhelming nature essence suppression decreased as that happened.
Landing on the ground, Qin Shaoyang was about to heave a sigh of relief when Hao Ren suddenly whipped down his arm.
The retreating sword energies suddenly stabbed toward Qin Shaoyang!
Each of the sword energies released a dazzling light.
All the cultivators in the area, including Su Han, couldn’t open their eyes.
Boom!
The sword energies cut out a square crater with a depth of one meter, a length of 500 meters, and a width of 500 meters!
The entire east exam area shook!
In the middle of this square crater was a small piece of flat ground.
It was about the size of one square meter, and it looked like a lone island in the huge crater.
Holding his head, Qin Shaoyang squatted on the ground while his golden weaving shuttle rolled to his feet.
“Hu…” Zhao Hongyu heaved a sigh of relief.
If Hao Ren wounded or killed Qin Shaoyang, the main examiner of the east exam area, on the territory of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, he would be in big trouble.
“Examiner Qin, did I win the compet.i.tion?” Standing on the tall rock tower, Hao Ren asked casually.
Qin Shaoyang stood up, and his face was still pale.
Although Hao Ren’s sword energies didn’t pierce him, the violent nature essence and sharp sword blades shocked his spirit and mind, just like how an ordinary person narrowly missed a flying rocket. How could a person look good in such a situation?
At this moment, the nature essence in Qin Shaoyang’s body was rus.h.i.+ng aimlessly, and he even couldn’t jump over the 50-meter ditch surrounding him.
“Will you fulfill your promise, Examiner Qin?” Hao Ren continued to ask.
Qin Shaoyang tried his best to smooth out the nature essence in his body and wanted to answer.
It was a great disgrace for him to lose to Hao Ren, and it would be more shameful if he went back on his words.
Hao Ren put the Black Dragon Spike back into his necklace and jumped down from the top of the rock tower.
Hualala… The rock tower that was piled with debris collapsed instantly.
Hao Ren walked directly to Su Han and asked, “Am I an official inspector now?”
Looking at him with her bright eyes, Su Han was at a loss for words.
Standing by Su Han and Zhao Kuo’s sides, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren in amazement.
“I can’t continue with the rest of the combat exam,” Hao Ren told Su Han.
“Ugh?” Su Han froze for a moment before nodding. “Ok…”
Since he defeated Qin Shaoyang in a challenge, Hao Ren was now already an official inspector, and it was not important for him to continue with the remaining exams and enter the top three.
“Please collect the thing Qin Shaoyang promised me,” Hao Ren placed the ident.i.ty token, ‘Ren Yin 246’, into Su Han’s hand and said.
“What do you want?” Su Han finally regained her composure and asked.
“The thing the East Ocean Dragon Palace wants,” Hao Ren said.
“That…” Su Han hesitated for half a second and said, “I can’t do that, and neither can Qin Shaoyang.”
Hao Ren had expected this, so he paused before saying, “Then, I want another thing from the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.”
“Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus…” Su Han repeated in her mind as if she had never heard of it before.
“Uncle, Auntie, let’s head back,” Hao Ren said to Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu.
“Ok…” Zhao Hongyu immediately took out her River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and spread it out.
Zhao Yanzi helped Zhao Kuo onto the painting, and the others stood on it as well.
Hua!
Under the envious stares of many cultivators, the painting carried them away.
Riding her flight dharma treasure, Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with the fact that Hao Ren had made a great show of East Ocean’s strength!
In a black secret chamber in the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, a burly cultivator faced the wall, showing his large back.
“What’s the background of Ren Yin 246?” A deep voice sounded.
“He’s the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, the Commanding General of the East Ocean, and Su Han’s a.s.sisting inspector,” one of the nine cultivators who was sitting in the secret chamber answered.
“Oh? He’s Su Han’s man?”
“Yes, Shrine Master.”
After a few seconds of consideration, this mysterious person raised his hand slightly and said, “Demote Qin Shaoyang to a level 3 inspector for acting impulsively and promote Ren Yin 246 directly to a level 3 inspector as we do with the usual top three cultivators. His performance is excellent.”
