"Ring, ring, ring…" The bell that signaled the end of Friday's classes rung .
Hao Ren put on his backpack and left the classroom .
In four days, he successfully defeated 26 dragon cultivators at the East Ocean University . Three were at Dui-level, 12 were at Gen-level, and 11 were at Zhen-level .
Hao Ren's classmates ran out the door behind him .
Outside the classroom was Su Han . She was standing there with a t-shirt that had a little boy stamped on it, she also wore a pink sports jacket and didn't zip it up, and the yellow baseball cap on her head made her seem both refreshing and youthful .
Hao Ren saw Su Han at the door when he walked out of the classroom .
"Let's go!" Su Han said lightheartedly while looking at him .
All the students around them were shocked .
"What is this situation? Su Han coming to the classroom to pick Hao Ren up from school . Isn't that what couples do?" they thought .
"Ok!" Hao Ren nodded and flung his backpack onto his back before following Su Han to the stairs .
Ma Lina was standing outside the classroom door; she was also astonished by this . Only when Hao Ren and Su Han had walked downstairs, she realized what had happened and shoved an elbow at Xie Yujia . "He… he…"
"It's ok!" Xie Yujia smiled comfortably without a slight hint of anger or jealousy .
Her tolerant appearance shocked the students outside the classroom as well . They were so shocked that they didn't know what to say .
"You didn't break up with Hao Ren, right?" Ma Lina questioned Xie Yujia .
"I didn't; I still love him," Xie Yujia answered with no hesitation . She smiled and grabbed Ma Lina by the hand and led her toward the staircase .
Hearing Xie Yujia's words, the guys were so furious that their eyeballs were almost popping out . "How dare him, that bastard! Hao Ren!" they thought .
"Are you all set?" Su Han asked when they came out .
"Yeah, everything's set," Hao Ren responded .
Even though he was a modern mortal who grew up competing and attending all sorts of exams, competitions, and races, entering the Dragon God Shrine's exams was a first for Hao Ren .
Carrying a backpack and walking out the school gate with the setting sun's light dimming on them, Hao Ren felt like he was a student in the ancient times when people had to go to the Capital to take exams that determined their fate .
The battles in the last few days had increased Hao Ren's battle experience immensely . However, the truth was that the real elite dragon cultivators weren't at the East Ocean University; they were the future successors of their clan, and the elders kept them back at home .
Fighting those that weren't the strongest among his generation gave Hao Ren the chance to warm up .
Su Han knew what Hao Ren's ability was like, so she was sure that he wouldn't lose easily . She was actually quite satisfied with his performance .
After all, if Hao Ren couldn't even pass the challenges at school, there was no chance that he would pass the Dragon God Shrine's exams .
As Su Han looked at Hao Ren who was wearing a thin polo shirt and long sweatpants, she had higher expectations of him .
"Maybe, this kid can actually make it to the top three?" Su Han secretly thought .
The two walked out of the school . They took a taxi that was passing by and slowly faded from the stares of the crowd back at school .
In Lu Qing's office, there were a few young male teachers . They looked mad and exclaimed, "Vice Principal, what is this? Ms . Su is so close to a student; this will have a negative impact on the school's reputation!"
"Vice Principal, you really should interfere with this . The school can't be like this! Ms . Su is in the spotlight at the school, and her condescending attitude is unacceptable!"
"A teacher should behave like a teacher . I think that student should also be punished! Recently, many male students challenged him privately, and girls have been talking about him . Isn't this enough evidence that all the students in the school are unpleased with him?"
"Vice Principal, you need to stop protecting Su Han and that Hao Ren . "
The male teachers were extremely passionate about their beliefs; they were almost about to slam the table . Lu Qing was sitting at his desk, just looking at the teachers calmly . He obviously understood what these male teachers were thinking .
The male students all a crush on Su Han, and so did these male teachers .
These male teachers tried to approach Su Han either obviously or secretly . However, Su Han didn't care to bother with them and didn't even remember their names!
Now, Su Han was always with a male student . How could this not be a huge blow to their ego?
"I won't interfere this time," Lu Qing said calmly, stating his stance on the situation .
All the male teachers were shocked and were about to explode . "Vice Principal, how can you not do anything?"
Lu Qing was still sitting calmly at his desk, looking at them with no emotional fluctuations . "The school has its rules . There aren't any rules that prohibit students and teachers running to school together . "
"What…" The male teachers looked at each other and were utterly speechless .
"Does the school have rules on whether a teacher can walk home from school together with a student?"
"Eh…" the male teachers were once again speechless .
Lu Qing leaned forward a little bit and asked, "Unless you guys are saying that Su Han and Hao Ren are dating?"
Once he said this, the male teachers' faces turned bright red; they couldn't say another word .
Su Han and Hao Ren seemed to have a close relationship, but it was highly unlikely that they were dating . Also, the male teachers were unwilling to think in that direction and didn't want to admit that Su Han was no longer available .
"What other questions do you guys have?" Lu Qing said at a slow speed as if he were questioning them .
"Vice Principal, even if there's nothing wrong about Ms . Su, but that student! We can't just let that student off the hook!" A male teacher suddenly suggested, "He often skips school . According to school regulations, that should be an offense . We should at least give him a warning!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! There's nothing wrong with Ms . Su, but the student should be punished!" The other male teacher unanimously agreed with this opinion .
Lu Qing put on a straight face and didn't say anything .
"Vice Principal Lu, if you can't deal with this problem, we'll go find the Principal!" After seeing Lu Qing's indifferent attitude, the male teachers became decisive .
Lu Qing was only the Vice Principal, and on top of him was the Principal .
"Hao Ren got my approval beforehand . If you have any questions, you can go consult the Principal," Lu Qing said .
"Let's go! Let's go find the Principal!"
At this current moment, all the male teachers were hotheaded . They weren't scared of offending Lu Qing anymore and went straight to the Principal's office .
Half a minute later, a roar was heard from the principal's office . "What on earth do you think you guys are doing? Hao Ren is Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's son! If we give a serious warning to Hao Zhonghua's son, what do you think the consequences are? Are you guys willing to take on the responsibilities?"
There was absolute silence for a split second in the Principal's office .
Then, the male teachers quickly ran out of the office .
Meanwhile, Hao Ren and Su Han were in a taxi . They went to a small park a few kilometers away from school .
Everyone around them was once again jealous of Hao Ren as he led Su Han to the ticket window and bought two entrance tickets to the park .
It was very quiet in the park, but they did not have time to wander around . They quickly found a quiet spot where no one was around, and Su Han took out her White Jade Sword and created a red energy sphere .
Then, she used her power to carry them up high into the sky .
They were heading towards the Dragon God Shrine .
As they flew higher and higher, the sight of East Ocean City became smaller and smaller . After they were above layers of clouds, Su Han maximized their speed!
On Su Han's waist hung a shiny token . That was the symbol of an official inspector, and no forces dared to stop them!
"Have you memorized everything in the handbook?" Su Han asked to confirm .
Su Han's hair fluttered in the air as they continued ascending, and she looked beautiful from this angle .
"I've memorized everything," Hao Ren said .
To memorize that super thick handbook, he had pulled a few consecutive all-nighters . His head was about to explode with all the information that was crammed in . After all, even Su Han couldn't remember everything .
"I hope you won't disappoint me," Su Han said calmly .
Hao Ren stood behind Su Han and smelled the scent of her hair; it was fresh and sweet . He was a bit touched by what Su Han said .
Although Su Han didn't show any emotions, he understood that Su Han had high expectations of him .
"I'll try my best," Hao Ren said decisively .
"Ok . " Su Han slightly nodded .
The longsword they were standing on shone brighter .
They flew for a whole hour, and then Hao Ren saw a large platform in the sky from afar!
Around the platform were many other cultivators who were flying at full speed toward it . They were cultivators who came to participate in the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine!
The whole platform let out a dim red light; it was enveloped in an energy sphere!
"During this time of the year, around the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon God Shrine will have the exams for three days . Only during these three days will the Dragon God Shrine be open to the public . Normally, only the official inspectors who hold tokens can enter . Of course, they sometimes bring back criminals, and they are brought in too . Otherwise, no one else can enter . " Su Han saw that Hao Ren was slightly surprised, so she explained to him .
"So, the Dragon God Shrine also has a prison?" Hao Ren asked .
"Dragon cultivators who committed crimes are locked within the Heavenly Prison here . All the four ocean dragon palaces have their own prisons," Su Han said .
"The prison at the East Ocean Dragon Palace is probably the Ice Palace," Hao Ren thought to himself .
As they talked, they arrived on the platform with Su Han using her long sword to carry Hao Ren with her .
Hao Ren looked around . There were rows of small rooms lined up, and there were probably thousands of them!
In the center was an enormous black palace, and around it was hundreds of large-scale battle arenas!
The platform which was floating high in the sky supported thousands of rooms, hundreds of battle arenas, and an enormous palace .
"Do you think this looks like the Nine Dragon Palace?" Su Han asked Hao Ren .
"A little bit…" Hao Ren said .
If the Nine Dragon Palace were a super city, then the Dragon God Shrine was a small city . In the Nine Dragon Palace, there were mountains, lakes, abandoned building, and towers that reached the sky . However, the Dragon God Shrine was an enormous platform that had a series of rooms, battle arenas, and a massive palace with tens of thousands of small rooms .
"The Dragon God Shrine was built based on the Nine Dragon Palace . However, we don't have that kind of power to support a platform as big as the Nine Dragon Palace . This is all we can do," Su Han said .
Hao Ren was left speechless .
The grand palace was a historical site in the Nine Dragon Palace, and it was the ancestral home of all five-elemental dragon clans .
The Dragon God Shrine was based on the Nine Dragon Palace . Although it was not as big, being able to support its size in the middle of the sky was already a great accomplishment . The sight of the Dragon God Shrine already showed off its power, and it was nothing to be reckoned with!
"Let's not waste time . You only have a little time to prepare . " Su Han slowly descended and landed on the platform .
"The written exam starts tonight . Here's your temporary identity token; I got it for you beforehand . Your room number is Ren Yin 246 . Once you've found your room, don't wander around because that's not permitted . "
According to Su Han's personality, she wouldn't utter an extra word . However, this time when she took Hao Ren to the Dragon God Shrine, she explained all the things Hao Ren should know in detail in hopes that he would succeed .
From her ring, she took out a yellow wooden token and gave it to Hao Ren .
Hao Ren looked down and saw 'Ren Yin 246' carved on it . It didn't seem special at all .
"I have to go report at the Dragon God Shrine, so I don't have time to take you around . Go find your room and rest . There should be a set of clothes in your room and go change into them . Remember to put your temporary identity token by your waist . After 11 tonight, anyone that hasn't put on the prepared clothes or the identity token will be killed as a trespasser . "
Su Han left those words with him and walked toward the black palace with her long sword .
Hao Ren was a bit freaked out by how Su Han uttered the word 'kill' . On the Dragon God Shrine's territory, it was better to not get on the wrong side of the terrifying official inspectors .
Among the rows of rooms, small roads connected them .
The roads were made of blue stones . The walls were grey, and the roofs had black tiles . The whole place gave off a mysterious old city feeling .
On the narrow paths, participants were rushing through . There were some who wore modern style clothing while others wore light-colored linen clothing . There were both males and females, and the busy passersby and the narrow streets together formed a weird yet interesting picture .
Hao Ren was brought here by Su Han, so he didn't need to go get his temporary identity toke . But for many of the other cultivators here, they had to go get the tokens themselves .
No one other than the participants and staff members was allowed in the examination area for the written exam . The elders who came with the participants had no choice but to camp out around the site .
For this exam, no matter which clan the participants came from or what role they had, they were all regular participants .
"Ren Yin 243, Ren Yin 244, Ren Yin 245… Finally . "
Hao Ren followed the numbers and finally arrived at his own room .
All the rooms looked the same . It was a small room with an area of only half a square meter . Inside was a table, a chair, a set of clothes, and some writing tools .
Hao Ren injected some nature essence into the temporary identity token, and the array formation that had locked the room opened .
The set of clothes prepared was a long light brown robe . However, unlike the clothes the other participants he saw on the streets wore, Hao Ren's had two little silver dragons embroidered on the shoulders .
Ring, ring, ring… The bell that signaled the end of Fridays classes rung . Hao Ren put on his backpack and left the classroom . In four days, he successfully defeated 26 dragon cultivators at the East Ocean University . Three were at Dui-level, 12 were at Gen-level, and 11 were at Zhen-level .
