Chapter 625: Small Demon King! Small Demon King!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
When Hao Ren returned to the ground, he suddenly realized that Xie Yujia had called him over ten times.
He hesitated for a few seconds but still called her back.
After only a few rings, Xie Yujia picked up the phone.
“Where are you?” Xie Yujia sounded a bit anxious.
“It’s ok. I’m with Linlin and Lili,” Hao Ren said.
“OK… as long as you’re safe.” Xie Yujia let out a sigh of relief.
That red light enveloped the city, so Xie Yujia was worried that it had to do with Hao Ren. Then, she got anxious because Hao Ren wouldn’t pick up the phone no matter how many times she called.
She was relieved to hear that Hao Ren was safe and sound.
“Go to bed early,” Hao Ren said a few more soothing words before he hung up the phone.
He patted his pocket and felt the four realm-breaking notes.
He didn’t expect these realm-breaking notes to be so powerful…
Hao Ren held the dharma notes and looked at them carefully under the school’s street lights.
The notepaper was made of unique red sandpaper, and there were layers and layers of small granules on it. It felt a bit fuzzy when you touched it.
The patterns on the dharma note were drawn with golden ink, and they s.h.i.+ned under the street lights.
The patterns of the dharma notes weren’t very complicated but let out a mysterious feeling. On the back of the dharma notes were the five-clawed golden dragons of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, which meant that it was Yue Zilong’s.
“I wonder if Yujia can draw such a dharma note…” Hao Ren thought to himself.
The essence-locking notes could seal the opponent’s nature essence while the realm-breaking notes could unlock the seal of a formation array. If these two could be used together, there would be a great effect.
“Gongzi…”
The Lu sisters called him when they saw that Hao Ren was in deep thoughts under the street lights.
“Ok!” Hao Ren turned around and looked at them and said, “You guys can go back and get some rest first. I’m fine.”
The Lu sisters had initially wanted to stay with Hao Ren for a bit longer. Even when he faced an opponent of peak Qian-level, Hao Ren still didn’t ring the bell. This made the Lu sisters very worried.
Since Hao Ren didn’t ring the bell during this emergency, they couldn’t tell if he were in danger by the bell. If they hadn’t come for Hao Ren when they noticed that the sky changed drastically, they would not have known that he was in danger.
In reality, Hao Ren knew that the appearance of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong would not be overlooked by Yue Zilong, a deputy shrine master. That was the reason why Hao Ren didn’t want to get the Lu sisters involved.
Also, he knew that the Lu sisters’ realm had dropped a bit, so he was worried that they wouldn’t be safe when they were to face a peak Qian-level cultivator.
“If anything happens to Gongzi, please call upon us!” Lu Linlin still looked very worried about Hao Ren.
“I know!” Hao Ren smiled helplessly.
Lu Lili was also worried about Hao Ren. She looked at him but finally pouted while holding onto Lu Linlin’s hand. Together, they walked towards their dormitory.
Hao Ren watched their beautiful figures disappear. Then, he looked down and smiled before walking toward the sports field.
The Lu sisters had lowered their pride by a lot for him and were always by his side. However, Hao Ren didn’t treat them as his maids and also didn’t have the habit of commanding them to do things for him.
He didn’t have one tiny bit of nature essence in him right now, but conversely, he felt a rare sense of relaxation.
The gra.s.ses on the field next to the swimming arena had been redone. Hao Ren looked up to the moon and started to wave intensely.
The fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Palace!
This technique did not require any nature essence; all you needed was perseverance and physical strength. Hao Ren stepped on the gra.s.s and punched out.
Not only could he train his body, but he could also toughen his mentality!
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong and Yue Zilong were both at peak Qian-level. When Hao Ren saw how Yue Zilong beat up w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong so badly that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong couldn’t even lift his head, he was a bit moved.
A powerful person could beat an opponent of many skills! Yue Zilong used ferocious punches. He used offense as a type of defense and even extinguished w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s aura with his punches!
In only tens of punches, sweat had soaked up Hao Ren’s back. Hao Ren had used full power in every single blow, and the air-piercing sounds made by his punches were resonant.
Although he had lost his nature essence, Hao Ren’s martial arts skill was still exceptional. The speed and power of his punches could easily defeat the world’s boxing champions.
If he could increase his power by just a little, he could raise his right of expressing himself by a little too!
Hao Ren jumped up a bit and practiced the set of fundamental boxing techniques. The fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Palace was known for being steady and ferocious while the set of Mystic Water Sword Techniques was powerful due to its unpredictable moves. Hao Ren had practiced the Mystic Water Sword Techniques before. Now that he was practicing the fundamental boxing techniques, he was able to learn something new!
Under the moonlight, he punched and kicked. Each movement was very smooth, so smooth that even his shadow under the moonlight flowed.
His sweat drops drew an arch in the air before landing quietly onto the gra.s.s.
“Gongzi’s punches sure look beautiful,” Lu Linlin said with a blush. She was hiding in a distant corner watching Hao Ren under the moonlight.
Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren with admiration.
They had returned to the graduate dormitory but were still worried, so they quietly followed Hao Ren. That was when they found out that Hao Ren came here to practice his martial arts rather than going back to his dorm to sleep.
“That’s our Gongzi…” Unlike Lu Lili who expressed her praise out loud, Lu Linlin only secretly thought to herself. She had more admiration for Hao Ren now.
Hao Ren practiced his boxing techniques until midnight. Only when he realized that it was almost time that the dorms were going to be locked did he run multiple laps around the field before returning to his dorm.
Zhou Liren had just received Song Qingya’s signed picture today and was extremely excited. It was a mystery how he had prepared a picture frame. He had put the signed pictures into the frame and placed it at the most visible spot on his desk.
“d.a.m.n! Which beauty did you go out with this time! I thought you weren’t coming back!”
They surrounded Hao Ren right when they saw him.
“I just went out for a walk,” Hao Ren said lightheartedly. On his way back to the dorm, his sweat-soaked clothes had been dried by the natural wind, so there was no way they would have guessed Hao Ren had been practicing boxing for multiple hours.
If you don’t put in the effort, you will not reap the fruit. That applied even to the road of cultivation.
When Hao Ren saw the battle between Yue Zilong and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong, he realized how status couldn’t save him. If Yue Zilong weren’t stronger than w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong, then the person that was pushed down onto the seabed and beaten up badly would be Yue Zilong.
Zhao Kuo was the East Ocean’s Commanding General, and this was why he had pursued after real strength.
Hao Ren only reacted politely to Yu Rong and the other guys. The guys however still ended up not being able to find Song Qingya’s phone number from Hao Ren’s phone.
“OK, OK, I’m going to take a shower.” Hao Ren pushed them away and grabbed his face bowl and towel before walking towards the public shower room.
The school’s shower room had hot water while the shower in the dorms only had cold water. However, with Hao Ren’s current body, he could even use ice-cold water from the well, and it wouldn’t do any damage to him.
There was a small square opening in the shower, so Hao Ren looked out at the sky while he washed himself.
There seemed to be a bolt of purple lightning that shot from the sky. If Hao Ren weren’t a cultivator, he would have thought it was a shooting star.
At that time, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong stepped on his trident in the center of the city high up in the sky. He was releasing thousands of golden lights from his hand.
Soul-searching technique!
Although he was slowed down by Yue Ziyang, he still believed that this small demon king was still in the city!
His clothes were torn, and he had lost his two front teeth. However, he knew that Yue Zilong wouldn’t kill him!
If it were low junior-level metal-elemental dragon cultivators, then Yue Zilong could use his status as a deputy shrine master and kill them when he was enraged. However, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong was a peak Qian-level cultivator of the metal-elemental dragon clan and even had the status as an elder in the clan.
If he were to be killed, Yue Zilong would be in deep trouble!
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong had witnessed Yue Zilong’s ferocity, but he was still not scared of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine!
The golden lights scattered in all directions!
The light reflected the locations of all the cultivators in the city. They reflected different colors respective to their different elemental attribute which were in colors of white, green, blue, red, and yellow.
A peak Qian-level cultivator could easily exterminate an entire city. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong could easily use his soul-searching technique to pinpoint the low-realm cultivators in the city!
Amongst those five colors, there was a faint blue aura in the southeastern corner of the city.
“The small demon king that escaped from the Demon Sea…” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong took a light step as the golden trident pointed toward that direction.
“What about the deputy shrine master of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine? Such a small demon king was in the East Ocean City under his nose, but he still didn’t catch it!” he thought, “However, this small demon king had hidden his aura well! If it weren’t for my soul-searching technique, I wouldn’t have been able to find him!”
When he realized such things, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong became prouder and thought, “Even though this deputy shrine master has superior fighting skills, he is far less superior in terms of techniques than me!”
“Wait until I catch this small demon king and use him to make the bone strengthening pill! I will turn my body to the degree where it is as strong as a level 10 demon beast! Then, I’ll come to pick a fight with you!”
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong clenched his teeth and dashed forward on his trident as he was afraid that this small demon king would escape.
This trident-shaped dharma treasure of his was specially made so that it could be used as an Immortal Trapping Net. It was effective with dragon cultivators and demon beasts that have successfully transformed.
As long as one was captured by this golden net, all cultivators and treasures would be locked. This effect was especially strong with transformed demon beasts. As long as they didn’t transform into their demon beast form in a split second, they would be instantaneously killed!
The location he was aiming for was Wu Luoxue’s home.
Since Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang went to the provincial conference, he was staying at Wu Luoxue’s home. Also, after school today, he walked Wu Luoxue home with no shame.
Wu Luoxue didn’t have any good or bad feelings toward Zhen Congming. All she did was eat her dinner before she went to her room to do her homework.
Zhen Congming really wanted to go to Wu Luoxue’s room, but he couldn’t find an excuse no matter how hard he thought. He had good grades, so it didn’t sound right if he said he didn’t know how to do the homework.
Wu Luoxue’s cold att.i.tude toward him made Zhen Congming very anxious, and he didn’t dare to actively get closer to her.
It was already past ten in the evening.
Wu Luoxue was in her pajamas, and she practiced piano in her room for a bit before heading to bed.
Zhen Congming listened carefully. When he heard that the piano had stopped, his heart sank.
Wu Luoxue was pretty, just like a crystal doll. She could also play the piano and draw well. Although Zhen Congming had initially looked down upon these things, he thought they were beautiful arts just because Wu Luoxue did them.
Up in the sky, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong was on his trident. He was only a few hundred meters away.
“Small demon king! Small demon king!” When w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong thought about this, he was ecstatic.
If his strength improved a bit, he would have hope to be able to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm!
The eyes of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong, who was a few hundred years old, were lit with pa.s.sion and fire.
Crack! A purple lightning-like dharma treasure struck down from the clouds up above.
It pierced directly through w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s chest.
The peak Qian-level w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong vanished into thin air without a bit of noise.
