“Hey! Hey! You can’t do this…” Hao Ren immediately raised his hands.
“Ten-thousand Ice Strike!”
Leaping high in the air, silhouetted against the moon, Su Han struck down with her sword and shot out hundreds of icicles.
Not daring to try to block them with Horse Stance Forward Punch, Hao Ren rolled toward the goal to his left.
Swoosh! Swoosh…
The icicles stabbed into the field, piercing many holes that were ten centimeters deep on the green grass.
“Ten-thousand Ice Strike!”
Before Hao Ren could heave a sigh of relief, Su Han’s low voice sounded again.
“Are you trying to kill me?!” Hao Ren leaped out of the goal while hundreds of icicles poured down!
“Ten-thousand Ice Strike…”
Su Han’s demonic voice sounded again.
“Surrender! I surrender!” Hao Ren leaped up abruptly and called out to Su Han in a hurry.
“This woman is not a gracious loser! I beat her twice by luck, and now she got into such a rage of humiliation. She asked me to fight her with my full force but wouldn’t allow me to win!” Hao Ren complained in his mind.
“Humph!” Finally, Su Han withdrew her sword and landed slowly on the field.
She looked as cold as ice, and she felt ashamed on the inside. When they were in her home, she lost her shoes to Hao Ren; after they moved to the open space outside, she tried to fight Hao Ren at Gen-level and still lost to him.
It was a great blow to her self-esteem!
Looking at Su Han who acted like a kid cheating in a lost fight, Hao Ren had the urge to laugh. Although he landed on his face into the mud, he found Su Han quite adorable.
“Your cultivation technique is indeed unique.” With a long face, Su Han still couldn’t admit her defeat. “Although you are at low-tier Gen-level, with your technique, you could even defeat top-tier Gen-level cultivators.”
“I couldn’t have achieved this without your teaching,” Hao Ren immediately cupped his hands toward her and fluttered.
Actually, it was half flattery and half-truth. Right now, he was disheveled and covered in wounds, but he gained a deeper understanding of battles.
Cultivating and fighting were entirely different things. As a cultivation genius, Su Han wasn’t a battle genius, and her sword technique was lousy in Qin Shaoyang’s eyes.
However, Su Han was at Qian-level; one casual attack from her was earth-shaking. In contrast, Hao Ren was only at Gen-level. If he couldn’t improve his battle experience, he wouldn’t be able to stand out in the Dragon God Shrine.
“Don’t flatter me.” Su Han glanced at him and suddenly moved.
Thud! Thud… Bare-footed, Su Han ran swiftly before suddenly flying up with her sword in hand.
Frost Shooting Through Nine Heavens!
A crescent-shaped frost beam swept across the distant stand.
Boom!
A whole row of chairs was cut in half.
In this upheaval, a golden figure flew up into the high sky.
“Crescent Strike!” Su Han stood straighter and slashed her sword upward.
Her pajama top rose slightly, revealing a small portion of her white belly.
Boom!
Like a flashbang, a silver light beam dashed into the sky as an airwave.
A groan came from the sky, and Hao Ren recognized it was Qin Shaoyang’s voice.
“Su Han, do you hate me that much?” Qin Shaoyang’s question came from the void.
Hao Ren widened his eyes but couldn’t find Qin Shaoyang’s whereabouts.
“Get out of here!” Su Han landed while her sword shot out another sword energy.
“You actually like this weak Gen-level brat? I’ll see how you can protect him in the Dragon God Shrine in a few days!” The golden light in the sky vanished in a flash.
It was clear that Su Han’s sudden attack landed on Qin Shaoyang. He followed them when they flew into the stadium and watched them while they practiced.
“It seems like I was wrong. The reason why Qin Shaoyang didn’t stop you from enrolling in the exams of the Dragon God Shrine is that he knows I’m no longer a level 4 inspector,” Su Han put away her sword and said lightly.
Since she wasn’t a level 4 inspector, she couldn’t be an examiner, which meant that she couldn’t do anything to help him during the exams.
However, Qin Shaoyang was still an examiner, and it would be easy for him to place Hao Ren in a position to fight stronger competitors.
Since Su Han hoped to drive Qin Shaoyang away through Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang could also strike back using Hao Ren.
From Qin Shaoyang’s perspective, Hao Ren had little hope of becoming an official inspector, and he hoped that a bad-tempered cultivator could beat Hao Ren so hard that the latter would fall one to two levels in cultivation realm. That would probably trigger some conflict between the East Ocean Dragon Palace and Su Han who had encouraged Hao Ren to participate in the exams in the Dragon God Shrine!
“No matter what, I’d like to give it a try,” Hao Ren replied.
Staying in the East Ocean Dragon Palace would give him safety and comfort, but Hao Ren wanted to push himself to a higher realm. After all, he had to toughen himself through battles so that he could ensure Zhao Yanzi’s safety!
The landslide incident showed him that in the cultivation world, power conquered all! Without great strength, he couldn’t even protect his family!
Su Han looked baffled at the determination on Hao Ren’s face. After all, she had always kept to herself, and the person whom she trusted most and felt the closest to was her master, Elder Xingyue. She entered the Dragon God Shrine only to get access to better cultivation resources, and that was why she found it hard to understand Hao Ren’s feelings.
“These… wear them.” Su Han took out five thin silver bracelets from her bracelet.
“Mount Tai Bracelets?” Hao Ren looked at her with caution and confusion.
“No, they are not.” Su Han shook her head. “They can elevate your cultivation strength by 50% and thus give you great help when you do the exams in the Dragon God Shrine.”
Seeing the doubt in Hao Ren’s eyes, Su Han curled her lips up helplessly before looking at him again. “How can I lie to you about this?”
Standing on the field bare-footed, Su Han looked as beautiful as a moon goddess in the misty starry light.
“Put two on your wrists, two on your ankles, and one around your neck.” Su Han took hold of his arm before putting them on him intimately.
The moment the five bracelets were put into position, they immediately merged into Hao Ren’s skin and disappeared.
“Ok, Try them,” Su Han said gently after taking several steps back
Hao Ren tightened his fists and circulated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, finding that he couldn’t move his nature essence at all!
“They are called Five Mountains Bracelets, several times more advanced than the previous Mount Tai Bracelets. They can limit the physical strength and nature essence of the user except for top-tier Qian-level cultivators. However, they are set up so that you can still use 40% of your cultivation strength.”
Su Han spoke in a low voice as she squinted her eyes; a mischievous smile appeared on her face at the same time.
“This…” Hao Ren felt as if he was pressed down by five mountains, and it was even difficult to breathe.
“I’ll remove the Five Mountains Bracelets before your combat exams. You can wear them before the exams, and they would be great helps to you,” Su Han nodded in satisfaction and said cheerfully.
“Aren’t you too revengeful? I did nothing but touch your shoulder, ruin your slippers, and win in the practice fight!” Hao Ren yelled in his mind.
“You are covered in wounds. Let’s head back, and I’ll put some medicine on them.” Su Han grabbed Hao Ren’s right hand, and they stepped onto the White Jade Sword and left the damaged stadium.
