Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 109: Slim Chance of Survival!

Panda Novel

Hao Ren dashed out of the stadium and saw the vortex.

It was very hot, and there was not even one cloud in the heated sky beforehand. However, layers after layers of clouds rushed towards the sky above the campus all of a sudden!

It was only the advancement the Spirit Concentration Scroll from the second level the third level, but it had already created such a tremendous phenomenon. Who knows what would happen if it was a Tribulation!

Hao Ren suppressed the heated blood in his body as he sprinted.

He needed to find somewhere quiet to level up, and there was only one place he could think of.

Boom, boom, boom…he dashed into the Administrative Building and ran upstairs to Su Han’s office!

He didn’t bother to knock because unlike Lu Qing, Su Han was always in her office.

Boom! Hao Ren pushed the door open and went inside.

Su Han wasn’t surprised to see Hao Ren come in. She looked at the sky and flipped her fingers.

Whoosh! The clouds were immediately expelled.

She waved again, and the door behind Hao Ren automatically closed.

Hao Ren had no time to greet her. He sat down at his usual spot and started his cultivation.

Su Han raised both hands and put two layers of purple light spheres around Hao Ren as a protection barrier.

Hao Ren breathed out deeply after half an hour. He opened his eyes and said to Su Han, “I’m on the third level!”

Su Han lightly nodded as she took the protection barriers back without a word.

Hao Ren thought Su Han was upset, so he explained, “I didn’t mean to intrude. It’s just that I suddenly felt like I was about to break through, and there was nowhere else to go…so…”

Su Han waved her hand to stop him.

Hao Ren couldn’t see through Su Han’s thoughts from her attitude. He stood up and said, “Sorry to disturb you. This will count towards my practice for today, so I won’t be coming again after four o’clock.”

He examined his body and felt the Nature Essence filling up every single part of his body; it made him feel really comfortable. If he could guide the essence flow and transfer it out of his body now, it would mean that he was now on the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

It seemed like breaking through the Spirit Concentration Scroll wasn’t as difficult as Hao Ren had imagined; it all depended on the luck and timing. However, hard work and dedication definitely helped. Hao Ren felt relaxed and less stressed out after he had reached the third level.

“It won’t be a problem getting to Kan-level after solidifying the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll and cultivating another technique. It shouldn’t be hard to get started as long as my foundation is built well,” he thought.

Dang!

He got to the door, and he suddenly sensed an intense pain in his head as if he walked into an iron board; the sharp pain made him back up two steps.

He turned back to look at Su Han, and he saw her pointing at the mat that he was sitting on.

He was bewildered for a few seconds and then suddenly remembered something. His face turned green as he recalled that the real ordeal was to follow!

A heated flame raised up from his body.

All 108 vital acupoints in his body started burning.

It felt even worse than being set on fire!

Hao Ren dashed to his mat in a hurry and sat on his legs, and he used the Spirit Concentration Scroll to suppress the pain.

He almost forgot about the torment of rebirth after the thrill of the breakthrough.

Peng! Peng!

Each acupoint was like a miniature explosive device. Nature Essence kept gathering, expanding, and exploding in his acupoints, and it made it extremely hard for Hao Ren to endure.

Hao Ren couldn’t even keep his sitting position after a few minutes; he was in too much pain to care about his presence in front of this beautiful girl. Hao Ren laid straight down on the chair with his body bent and fists clenched.

It was an unimaginable pain; he felt as if over ten needles were drilling hard on each of the acupoints at the same time.

His shirt and pants were soaked in sweat, and even the chair got stained.

Su Han opened up her drawer calmly and took out a bottle of spherical pills. Then, she flipped it over to Hao Ren.

“What’s…this…” Hao Ren asked, gritting his teeth.

“Fengqing Pill; it can release you from the pain,” Su Han said.

As Hao Ren was reaching for it, she added, “This pill may reduce the pain. But at the same time, it will end the self-building process earlier and harm your potential. Of course, this won’t be a problem as long as you are not looking to get to Qian-level.”

Hao Ren was almost passing out from the acute pain. However, he heard Su Han’s words and thought about it. Then, he put the bottle back on the desk, pushing it further away from him.

Su Han was a little surprised by Hao Ren’s behavior as she didn’t know if she should be admiring him or laughing at his cockiness.

“Someone like him wishes to break into Qian-level?” she thought.

She had to admit that he advanced to the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll at an impressive speed. However, that was under the patient guidance and great help of many masters.

“Does he think that all the levels after this are going to be as easy?” Su Han thought.

It would be a miracle for Hao Ren’s human body to reach Gen-level, and the expectation for him from East Ocean was Zhen-level. It would be a happy ending if he could share half of the Dragon Core with Zi to save her life.

Hao Ren suddenly turned over on the chair when Su Han was thinking to herself. Hao Ren’s entire body straightened up, and huge drops of sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

“Don’t play tough anymore and take the pill,” Su Han persuaded him after seeing how hard it was for him to fight the pain. She didn’t know if he was stubborn or stupid.

Hao Ren shook his head and kept gritting his teeth. The blue veins popped up on his arms, and the chair trembled under his grip.

“Out of sight, out of mind,” Su Han closed her eyes to disregard Hao Ren’s suffering.

Half an hour later, Hao Ren let out a long exhale; sweat covered his entire head. He said to Su Han across the table, “It is done, Su Han.”

She opened up her beautiful eyes and opened her palm. The bottle of pills flew back into her hands, and she put it back in her drawer without a word.

“The levels to follow are going to be more and more difficult. Right now, it’s just painful. But in the future… Never mind, I believe Zhao Guang won’t let you suffer,” Su Han pushed the hair that was beside her face behind her ear and said, “I was cultivating a technique and blocked my six senses when you came in. I wasn’t able to speak after you interrupted me; it was not that I didn’t want to talk to you.”

Hao Ren nodded; he knew her personality, and it was already difficult for Su Han to explain herself to anyone.

He felt guilty for rushing into her office all of a sudden, that could have caused her trouble during her cultivation.

“There are invisible barriers around my office, but you can easily get past them since you have that necklace. I’ll let it go this time… Unless there is an emergency, please don’t come into my office outside of our scheduled time,” Su Han continued.

“Um,” Hao Ren nodded. Su Han didn’t seem kind, but she was pretty nice to him; Hao Ren was clear about that.

“One more thing. Since you are now on the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll, there is something I need to remind you of,” Su Han said to him, “Zhao Guang will probably take you to the Dragon Palace to pick a technique. If you really wish to cultivate in the long run, you should look for those that are good at foundation-building and leveling-up. It wouldn’t be the best idea to pick the ones that are powerful early on and meant for fighting. After all, fighting and battling earlier on won’t be beneficial in the long run.”
