Chapter 259: Recruiting Me into a Club?

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

With flames burning around its paws, Little white flew steadily in the sky with Hao Ren on its back. As a common species left behind in the mortal world by the Sky Mountain Sect, Little White had a very average bloodline, which meant that it had almost no chance of advancing and evolving.

Although the common species of spirit beasts had traces of ancient godly beasts’ bloodline in their bodies, the traces of bloodline were so thin that they were extremely difficult to activate. Even the adult snow lions living in the Snow Lotus Cave on the Sky Mountain could only activate the most basic innate power such as Fire-ball Spell and Frozen Spell after eating snow lotuses for many years.

However, with the large number of elixir pills Hao Ren fed it, Little White, though not an adult yet, had activated its flying ability and had even developed the fire-elemental power!

It meant that Little White, which had been despised by that girl on Fifth Heaven, now possessed the power of level 1 spirit beast.

If Hao Ren fed it elixir pills every day and Little White cultivated hard, it might have a chance to completely activate the ancient bloodline in its body and advance into a godly beast.

However, Hao Ren and Little White didn’t know about the situation. Little White just ate when it was hungry, and Hao Ren would feed it two Essence Replenishment Pills each day to stop its badgering.

Sitting on Little White’s back and looking down at the city from a height of hundreds of meters above the ground, Hao Ren felt a wondrous feeling. Little White was also enjoying the breeze; it flew leisurely, as fast as a floating balloon.

Just months ago, Hao Ren had never imagined that he would be able to ride a lion and look down at the entire city from the sky as an ‘inspector.’

Matters with Zhao Yanzi, West Ocean, school, and more were all forgotten as he stared at the brightly lit East Ocean City in the quiet sky above the city.

He had wanted to live an ordinary life, but he had to adapt to the changes and get used to new things.

“Little White, let’s get down!” he ordered in a low voice as he patted Little White’s neck lightly.

With a low roar, Little White dashed toward the East Ocean University campus below them.

Like a shooting star, they arched toward the ground.

Bang! Little White landed in the small forest.

Hao Ren, who was enjoying the amazing feeling and the beautiful city view from the sky, jumped off Little White’s back dizzily and slapped its head. “Damn dog! Couldn’t you land gently?!”

Little White looked at him innocently with its big black and watery eyes.

“Well, this is an extra elixir pill for you!” After taking out an Essence Replenishment Pill from the wooden box in his hidden space, Hao Ren tossed it into Little White’s mouth.

Little White felt wronged a moment ago, but it instantly became joyous. Transforming into its mini size, it ran around Hao Ren’s ankles, rubbing its head against his legs like a kitten.

“You have no backbone!” Picking it up by the back of its neck, he tossed the beast into his hidden space.

During the night, the dew was substantial in this forest, and that was why no student couples came here to make out. It provided Hao Ren with a perfect landing place.

After straightening his clothes, Hao Ren walked out of the forest before crossing the campus and returning to his dorm.

Huang Jianfeng and the others were playing cards in the dorm, and they would never have imagined that Hao Ren had been patrolling the city in the sky. They thought he went out with Xie Yujia, so they didn’t ask him any questions when he came back to the dorm late at night, right before the gate would be locked up.

Hao Ren was no longer the same person he was two months ago, but his buddies saw him every day and didn’t notice the transformations.

Next morning came.

Zhao Jiayi had spent the night in the stadium practicing and didn’t return to the dorm. Ever since he became the Captain of the Basketball Team, he got quite busy.

Seeing that Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren were still soundly asleep, Hao Ren washed up and went jogging. Cultivation could improve his physical strength, but it couldn’t give him combat ability in melee battles.

After running 20 laps around the campus, he went to the small forest where he landed last night and practiced horse stance punch 1,000 times. After the high-intensity workout, he only sweated slightly.

It was still early, so he practiced the Fundamental Boxing Techniques, that he learned from the Dragon Palace, nine times. The movements were not hard for Hao Ren in his current state.

However, it was a test of physical strength and endurance to make each movement accurate and proper.

After all, this set of boxing techniques were used to train the soldiers in the Dragon Palace, and the lowest-leveled soldiers were at Li-level. In other words, this set of boxing techniques with no name was the training technique for cultivators!

After practicing it nine times, Hao Ren was soaked in sweat even though he had reached Zhen-level. It was a top-rated set of boxing techniques that could toughen one’s muscles and bones.

Zhao Jiayi or Zhou Liren probably would have collapsed to the ground with fatigue after practicing only half of the boxing techniques. Some movements were beyond their strengths and abilities; if they forced themselves to do those movements, they probably would break their bones or get cramps.

Exhaling deeply, Hao Ren walked out of the small forest and toward Academic Building C with his bag in his hand.

It was breakfast time, so Hao Ren merged into the crowds in the direction of the cafeteria, planning to have breakfast before going to class.

“Hello…”

Suddenly, a tall and thin girl wearing a pair of glasses stopped Hao Ren.

She stared at Hao Ren for a few seconds before giving him a warm smile. “Do you have any interest in joining our club?”

Hao Ren looked at her and shook his head. “Not interested.”

“Unlike the ordinary school clubs, ours is an internal club called the Association of the Five Dragons,” She continued.

“The Association of the Five Dragons?” Hao Ren activated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, looked at her carefully, and saw a pale blue light around her. She belonged to one of the water-elemental dragon clans, but Hao Ren didn’t know which branch she was from, lake, river, or stream.

Seeming to have sensed Hao Ren’s question on his mind, this girl introduced herself in a low voice, “I belong to Dongting Lake. You should be a member of East Ocean, right? Since we belong to the same circle, we should have each other’s back.”

Hao Ren thought for a moment, but he still shook his head.

When he was below Zhen-level, the so-called ‘circle’ ignored him.

Now that he had broken through to Zhen-level, they immediately sent someone to recruit him, trying to pull him into their circle to strengthen their force. Hao Ren wouldn’t fall for their tricks.

Besides, there were all kinds of conflicts between the different circles, and Hao Ren didn’t want to be a part of it. With a wave of his hand, he walked out of the cafeteria.

On his way to the Academic Building, several senior students came to him and invited him to join their mysterious clubs. Hao Ren refused them all.

When he walked around the campus as a low-level cultivator who was working on the Spirit Concentration Scroll, they pretended not to see him. When some big events happened in the Dragon Tribe, and they met on the roadside to discuss, they had never thought of including Hao Ren. Even when Huang Xujie tried to bully him, none of the so-called ‘fellow dragons’ offered help.

That was why Hao Ren ignored them now.

“Are you sure that you won’t consider our offers? We have many cultivation discussion groups, and we could trade low-tier dharma treasures with each other inside our association.”

“The head of our club is a Dui-level master, and he will give you some guidance. You’ve just reached Zhen-level, but it’s difficult to solidify your realm without the guidance of a master.”

“We have many single dragon girls in our club. If you find someone you like, you two can practice dual-cultivation…”

Hao Ren’s refusal didn’t dissuade them. Three representatives from three clubs followed Hao Ren tightly.

“To be clear, I’ll join none of your clubs.” Afraid that they would follow him into the classroom, Hao Ren stopped to make his attitude clear.

“Although Zhen-level is not weak, it’s not powerful either. Since you are around the school every day, I suggest you join one of our clubs.”

One of them began to threaten him.

“Well, do you mean that you guys will find opportunities to attack me if I don’t join any of your clubs?” Hao Ren asked them in a harsher tone.

“Right!” the three of them answered at the same time.

After all, in East Ocean City, there were only about eight cultivation clubs; none of the Zhen-level students could stay independent!

They had been indifferent to Hao Ren when he was below Zhen Level. However, he had to join one of them after he reached Zhen-level!

On the surface, they talked about taking care of each other. However, their real purpose was to strengthen their force to overpower the other clubs.

“We’ll give you three minutes to consider. You must choose one of the three clubs!” The senior-looking student gave Hao Ren an ultimatum.

They forced him to join one of them! They thought that Hao Ren wasn’t very powerful as a Zhen-level cultivator.

The other two representatives surrounded him with their arms crossed.

Judging from the lights they emitted, Hao Ren knew that each of them was on or above Zhen-level. If Hao Ren refused to join one of their clubs, they would put down a red energy sphere and attack him.

None of the Zhen-level students could stay out of their control; it was the unwritten rule. Of course, after a cultivator joined one of the clubs, he or she would have to contribute to the club by handing in money and offering labor.

Uninterested, Hao Ren turned around and continued toward Academic Building C.

“Stop!” The senior student launched an attack suddenly.

As the vice-president of the Sea Light Club, he was a Gen-level cultivator, and he wanted to pull Hao Ren into his club.

Hao Ren blocked his arm and leaped half a step forward. Meanwhile, the other two representatives entered the fray.

Since Hao Ren had expressively told them that he wouldn’t join any of their clubs, they decided to teach him a lesson.

They had never paid attention to Hao Ren when he was below Zhen-level, so they didn’t know about his close relationship with Lu Qing and his identity as the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, the real ruler of East Ocean City!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With both hands, Hao Ren pushed their arms away.

The effects of the fundamental boxing techniques were showing.

The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could be used in long-range combat, and the fundamental boxing techniques could be used in melee combat.

Surprised, the three representatives immediately put Nature Essence into their hands before launching another round of attacks at Hao Ren at the same time. Since he refused to join their clubs, he became their common enemy, and they would teach him a lesson!

In the horse stance, Hao Ren moved half a step to the left before punching at the senior student who had launched the first attack.

With five-element sword energy on his fist, Hao Ren’s punch on the senior student’s chest forced him back three steps.

Hao Ren then turned and blocked the arms of the other two attackers before punching their bellies.

Instantly, the two girls who were at top-tier Zhen-level were knocked away! Hao Ren had used the explosive momentum from the fundamental boxing techniques and the Hundun Lightning which could break all five elements.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. For the students in the distance, they just saw the three of them leave Hao Ren’s side abruptly, but the details were lost to them.

The three attackers all stared at Hao Ren in shock.

Although their attacks were not coordinated, they were all cultivators either on or above Zhen-level and good fighters in the school. However, they couldn’t even get near Hao Ren, a student who had just reached Zhen-level.

The two girls felt a numb sensation in their bellies, and they couldn’t activate their Nature Essence as if all their energies were locked up for the time being.

Hundun Lightning could break the five elements in nature while the five-elemental sword array formations were even more powerful. Since they were in a public place on the campus, Hao Ren had not unleashed his full strength.

“After all, I’m an inspector, and you dared to attack me?” Hao Ren brushed the dust off his clothes before looking at them coldly.”

“Inspector?”

The three senior members of the cultivation clubs all looked at Hao Ren in surprise.

They concentrated and took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a faint golden flame mark on Hao Ren’s forehead.

None of them had imagined that this young Zhen-level cultivator would be an inspector!

They were stunned.

After all, attacking an inspector was a serious crime.

Hao Ren could arrest them this moment since an inspector could act first and report to the headquarter later.

Even as an assisting inspector, Hao Ren’s status was many levels higher than theirs.

While they engaged themselves in ‘playful battles’ in the school, this sophomore had become an assisting inspector!

Ignoring the stunned looks on their faces, Hao Ren walked past them and continued toward the Academic Building.

At this moment, a thick dark cloud floated across the sky above East Ocean University.

With a livid face, Oldman Zeng came to East Ocean City with six Qian-level elders and ten Kun-level elders on a punitive expedition!
