Chapter 350 - The Privilege of Inspectors!!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Zeng Yitao… This name flashed across Hao Ren’s mind.
“Did Zeng Yitao return to LingZhao Middle School as part of West Ocean’s counter-attack?” he thought.
“What are you looking at?” Yue Yang looked at Hao Ren from the rear-view mirror and asked him.
“Nothing,” Hao Ren answered, staring at the Roll-Royce Phantom parked at the gate of LingZhao Middle School in the rear-view mirror.
“With the current public opinions, even if Zeng Yitao caused a scene in the East Ocean City, the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, the latter must bear it without complaint. After all, any act from East Ocean would convince everyone that it was indeed suppressing their peers,” Hao Ren thought.
“Zi’s still in middle school, and she throws a tantrum occasionally. You are older than her, so you should take care of her and humor her,” Yue Yang said.
“Zhao Guang grounded Zhao Yanzi probably because he knew that Zeng Yitao would be returning to LingZhao Middle School,” Hao Ren thought to himself as he listened to his mom.
“Yujia has a mild temperament, but she has ambitions with her future career,” Yue Yang continued.
“Mom, what are you bring up this topic?” Hao Ren gathered his thoughts and asked.
“Zi’s a considerate girl. Though she’s sometimes lazy, she doesn’t have great ambitions. However, Yujia will have her own pursuits,” Yue Yang said.
“Yeah. Yujia excels in her studies, and she’s full of ideas.” Hao Ren nodded.
“Comparatively, Zhao Yanzi is just a little girl. When she grows up, she would be a little woman without any grand ambitions. Living each day happily is enough for her,” he thought about this but didn’t voice it.
“I hope you will live an ordinary and peaceful life. Your dad and I worked too hard and had to leave you alone at home for long periods. Now that I think about it, I wish for an ordinary life as well,” Yue Yang said emotionally.
“Em…” Hao Ren smiled bitterly.
He knew his mom was worried that Xie Yujia was too excellent to stay by his side in the future.
Hao Ren thought if Xie Yujia didn’t enter the world of cultivation, she would probably enter a Fortune 500 company as a successful employee before joining the management of a company or going to the U.S. for further development… With his academic achievements, he could never catch up with her.
However, he could no longer be described as ‘ordinary’.
He was about to reach Gen-level which was the equivalent to top-tier Core Formation Realm. He regularly traveled between Fifth Heaven and First Heaven and would soon face the exams of the Dragon God Shrine. He was also the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, the most significant force in the Dragon Tribe. He seemed like he was living an ordinary life, but he was extremely busy…
“I’ve told you my thoughts, but the future is in your hands. No matter what decisions you make, I will always support you.” Yue Yang stopped the car at the main gate of East Ocean University before looking back at him.
Hao Ren was touched. With a smile, he opened the car door, saying, “Mom, drive safe!”
“Ok!” Yue Yang turned the steering wheel to slowly moved the car around.
The sunshine was warm, and Hao Ren felt great on the inside as well.
Yeah, it was good to know that his parents had his back no matter what path he chose.
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had never set high goals for him, hoping that he would have an ordinary and peaceful life. Whatever he wanted, they would fight and get for him.
However, he didn’t want to live under the shadow of his parents. He had entered a good university by his own efforts, and he was using his cultivation strength which was nearly at Gen-level to protect his parents and the people close to him.
He had chosen the path of cultivation, a trail of battles.
The incident with West Ocean told him that showing mercy to the enemies was equal to inflicting wounds on his loved ones!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
“Hao Ren, the son of famous scientists, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang.”
Qin Shaoyang who had pale golden eyes walked out of a nearby path while clapping his hands.
He was wearing a thin, pale grey windbreaker and a pair of black military boots, looking elegant and powerful.
“I underestimated you and didn’t investigate your background. From the looks of it, you have a great background in the mortal world.” He walked to face Hao Ren.
With his eyes locked on Qin Shaoyang, Hao Ren activated all 85 openings in his dragon core at the same time!
A sharp and robust aura emitted from him.
Swoosh… The birds resting in the nearby trees flew away.
“Wow! You have reached Zhen-level! Awesome!” Qin Shaoyang said as he acted surprised.
Hao Ren didn’t expect that Qin Shaoyang would be lurking around and didn’t notice the latter’s appearance beforehand. The difference between Kun-level and Zhen-level was that between the mountaintop and the mountain foot.
Qin Shaoyang still held the grudge toward Hao Ren since Hao Ren had once defeated him at Zhao Yanzi’s birthday party.
“I warn you; don’t make a move against my family.” Hao Ren’s aura got stronger.
Lightning bolts flashed in his eyes, and it stunned Qin Shaoyang a little even though they were not real.
Since lightning could break all five elements in nature, Hao Ren’s aura naturally suppressed cultivators of any of the five elements.
However, Qin Shaoyang was at Kun-level, and he immediately pushed back with his own aura. Taking a step forward, he looked at Hao Ren coolly and said, “Don’t forget, I’m an official inspector, and you, well, are only an assisting inspector whose title can be removed at any time.”
A cold breeze blew by them, and the leaves on the road moved under its force. It looked like a natural breeze, but it was the metal-elemental wind released by Qin Shaoyang!
Hao Ren felt a pain on his exposed skin as if a knife was cutting into it.
Qin Shaoyang took another step forward and leaned in to whisper into Hao Ren’s ear, “Don’t forget, inspectors can make a move against mortals.”
Bang!
Hao Ren’s body shook.
Qin Shaoyang was issuing a threat!
With the intelligence network of inspectors, he knew about Hao Ren’s family background. By being different from other dragons, inspectors had the privilege to make moves against mortals!
Xie Yujia had the old Grandma’s mark on her shoulder; even the senior inspectors from the Dragon God Shrine didn’t dare to touch her. However, Hao Ren’s parents were different.
Although they were world famous scientists, in the eyes of the inspectors, they were ordinary mortals!
Bang!
Hao Ren’s right foot stepped forward while his right hand formed a fist and punched at Qin Shaoyang’s stomach!
It was the third strike of the fundamental boxing techniques
Since Hao Ren didn’t use any nature essence, Qin Shaoyang didn’t have time to react and was hit solidly on the belly.
“B*stard!” Qin Shaoyang placed his left hand on Hao Ren’s right hand and abruptly injected nature essence into Hao Ren’s body.
Hao Ren couldn’t withstand the great nature essence from a Kun-level cultivator. He felt the blood surging in his chest and backed off six steps before a force supported his back and steadied his body.
“Dean Qin, you’re early today!” Lu Qing’s voice sounded suddenly behind Hao Ren.
Hao Ren turned his head and saw it was Lu Qing who placed his right hand on his back with a genial smile on his face.
“Hao Ren, let me introduce you to Qin Shaoyang, the Vice Dean of our Arts Program and a famous painter.” Withdrawing his right hand slowly, Lu Qing said to Hao Ren.
“Hmph!” Qin Shaoyang gave them a dirty look and walked toward the Arts Program’s building.
With his Kun-level strength, he felt disgraced to be hit by Hao Ren with a mortal boxing technique. Right now, Hao Ren had Lu Qing at his back while Qin Shaoyang was only a newly arrived vice dean. That was why he didn’t argue with Lu Qing.
“How did he become a vice dean?” Hao Ren suppressed the surging blood in his chest and asked Lu Qing.
“The Dragon God Shrine has moved Qin Shaoyang to the East Ocean City, and we, the East Ocean Dragon Palace, have to work with him,” Lu Qing explained helplessly.
Hao Ren didn’t mind Qin Shaoyang becoming a vice dean of the Arts Program since they wouldn’t cross paths very often. However, Qin Shaoyang’s threat of attacking mortals had rattled him.
For dragon cultivators who enjoyed a lifespan of thousands of years, the mortals were like ants. Although the Dragon God Shrine had made rules to regulate their behaviors, they made an exception with the inspectors.
Su Han entered the Dragon God Shrine with the hope of getting to higher realms and achieving greater strength, while Qin Shaoyang entered the Dragon God Shrine to get rid of the restrictions on his behavior so that he can do whatever he wanted.
Bang!
Hao Ren clenched his fists so hard that the air close to his hand popped with force.
If he became an official inspector, Qin Shaoyang would hold himself in check; if he reached Qian-level, Qin Shaoyang wouldn’t dare to make a move against him!
When Qin Shaoyang faced Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle, he didn’t dare to utter a word although he was an inspector!
“Right now, you are still an assisting inspector so that he won’t mess with you too much. If you have any problems, come to me,” Lu Qing said.
However, Hao Ren was not convinced. With Qin Shaoyang moving to East Ocean City, Zeng Yitao returning to East Ocean City, and the West Ocean Dragon Clan uniting the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan to attack East Ocean’s Mingri Group, East Ocean was feeling pressures from all levels and directions.
One must admit that Oldman Zeng was indeed more experienced and ruthless than Zhao Guang.
“Ok!” Hao Ren walked toward his dorm building; his determination to get stronger was greater than before.
In such a situation, it was hard for East Ocean to protect him; even Zhao Yanzi had been sent to the relatively safe East Ocean Dragon Palace.
If he lost his title as the assisting inspector, then… Thud!
Invisible sword energies knocked the surrounding big trees, and leaves fell from them.
In the next while, Hao Ren went to Fifth Heaven to cultivate every day. In three days, he had unlocked another eight openings, and the number of unlocked openings reached 93. Besides, he practiced the sword array formations and Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in the valley daily. With more openings unlocked in his dragon core, the power of the sword array formations got stronger.
Each evening, he went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to tutor Zhao Yanzi.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, Zhao Yanzi was in a good mood, oblivious to the great pressures the East Ocean Dragon Palace was facing.
Hao Ren didn’t tell her anything so that she could peacefully review for her final exams and solidify her Foundation Building Realm.
The next day, all the employees from the headquarters of Mingri Group stood respectfully at the entrance of the building.
A Bentley Arnage drove in slowly.
Behind it followed more than ten black Audi Q7.
The Bentley stopped between the rotating door of the building and the fountain.
The door to the car opened, and an ebony walking cane engraved with patterns of dragons slowly extended from the vehicle.
