Hao Ren threw Little White into the芥子 space before heading towards the傳送陣. The cultivator guarding the teleportation array looked at Hao Ren differently.
His eyes were filled with respect and even a hint of fear. Two靈石 had already been placed in the凹槽 on both sides of the round altar, and he didn’t dare to be careless as he quickly activated the傳送陣.
Hao Ren stepped forward, and in an instant, he returned to the "King Supreme" room at the武館.
The disciple who had guided Hao Ren earlier was sitting next to the傳送陣 inside the room, waiting for him while seizing time to practice cultivation.
He felt the波動 of法力 and noticed Hao Ren’s return. He hurriedly welcomed him, "Mr. Hao, how did you feel"
"The venue was quite good," Hao Ren looked at him and asked, "Isn’t Elder Sun not in the武館 today"
"It seems the manager has something important to attend to today and isn’t in the武館."
“Oh…” Hao Ren didn’t probe further. He thought that since Elder Sun was Zhao Guang’s capable assistant on land, he must be very busy. However, he hadn’t expected Elder Sun would be discussing matters about the West Sea at Tomorrow Group today.
The disciple led Hao Ren out of the room and continued towards the main entrance of the grand hall.
"Mr. Hao, this is what the manager asked me to give you," he said, taking out a card and handing it over to Hao Ren. "If you are satisfied with our service, take this card. It’s an Edun Martial Arts Gym’s Supreme Diamond Card. You can train at any city where we have a branch of the martial arts gym, and should you encounter any trouble in any major city, each of our branches will assist you."
Hao Ren put the card into his wallet. By now, the Edun Martial Arts Gym had grown to be a nationwide martial arts group, and with this Diamond Membership Card, he could get services from their branch in every major city while ensuring personal safety.
For someone like Hao Ren who had already reached the level of震級, this card was not very useful. However, for those who were concerned about their safety, being able to receive meticulous protection from each Edun Martial Arts Gym would be quite practical indeed.
Hence, such a meticulously crafted Diamond Membership Card could never be simply purchased with tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan!
And yet, by only releasing ten or twenty cards at low cost, several million in income could be gained. Moreover, more branches of martial arts gyms could open across the country, making Elder Sun’s business acumen truly impressive.
The disciple saw Hao Ren to the entrance of the武館. Hao Ren checked the time and it was already 4 PM. He had been practicing with Little White in the valley and hadn’t realized that they’d spent an entire afternoon there.
Huang Xujie and the leader from the Taekwondo club at Ocean University had already gone back, but Hao Ren didn’t care about their whereabouts.
The leader’s "strength" was basically because Huang Xujie supported him in setting up a Silver Membership at Edun Martial Arts Gym, where he received martial arts training privately from Master Tian.
In the northwest corner of the hall, a few robust disciples were gathered in front of some equipment, making noise. It was now 4 PM; most guests who had come earlier to practice had already left and it wouldn't be until after 5 PM when another wave of guests would arrive at the martial arts school.
Seeing Hao Ren looking that way, the guiding disciple asked him, "Mr. Hao, do you want to try"
Hao Ren thought he still had some time and went over to see what was going on.
The noisy disciples immediately quieted down when they saw the guiding disciple and Hao Ren approach, shouting at the disciple next to Hao Ren, "Uncle Disciple!"
"Yeah, you guys have fun," this disciple who didn't look particularly old waved his hand toward them.
He then turned back to Hao Ren, "This is an equipment for testing strength. If Mr. Hao's interested, he can also give it a try."
In comparison with these official disciples of the martial arts school, Hao Ren looked rather thin and weak. When they heard their senior disciple call him 'Uncle Disciple', all of them curiously gazed at Hao Ren.
These people had already trained for a few years before joining the Sun Yun Martial Arts School; today was the first time that one of their junior disciples joined, so when they were noisy and boisterous, it was just to see what this new little disciple could do.
"Alright, I'll give it a try," Hao Ren had never truly tested his strength since he started training.
He walked up to an enormous pull-up bar, grabbed the handles, and pulled over his shoulders with all his might.
Six hundred catties of single arm strength!
"Woah!" All the onlookers were shocked.
The newly recruited disciple at Sun Yun Martial Arts School had wanted to show off in front of his seniors, but seeing this scene, he was also shaken. There really were so many experts at Sun Yun Martial Arts School; even a thin and weak uncle disciple could reach six hundred catties of single arm strength! There are always people better than you out there; there are always mountains beyond mountains. It's best to focus on training here!
Hao Ren slowly put the handle back, looked at the number, and nodded slightly. Six hundred catties, this was still without using his spiritual energy; if he used it, the strength would be far greater.
"Do you want to try any other equipment" The guiding disciple asked Hao Ren.
"No need, I'm going back now," Hao Ren said.
Everyone stared at Hao Ren as he calmly left; they finally let out the gasp of breath that had been trapped in their lungs earlier. This guest personally served by an uncle disciple must be a friend of the headmaster, a master!
The guiding disciple led Hao Ren to the door and Hao Ren thanked him before riding back to school to pick up his tutoring materials and went to Zhao Yanzi's home.
When he arrived at Zhao Yanzi's house, it was not even five o'clock yet. Zhao Hongyu had just returned home.
"Aunt!" Hao Ren put down his documents and called out to Zhao Hongyu who was washing vegetables in the kitchen.
"Young Mr. Ren came so early today!" Zhao Hongyu replied from inside the kitchen.
"I have no classes this afternoon, so I came a bit earlier." Hao Ren walked into the kitchen and said, "Aunt, let me help you."
Zhao Hongyu didn't hesitate to make room for him. "Help wash the vegetables while I cut some potato threads."
"Okay." Hao Ren held the greens and began washing them in a basin of water. Although his left arm could exert a strength of 600 pounds, he was still very dexterous when doing household chores.
Chinese martial arts focus on cultivation through martial arts practice and stopping violence with martial prowess. Martial power is not brute force; it's never for killing or fighting. The true path lies in protecting all living beings with a heart full of benevolence, aligning oneself with the heavens and earth.
Thus, the stronger Hao Ren became, the more he restrained himself. No matter how strong his martial power was or how high his cultivation level reached, he would never regard ordinary people as insignificant ants.
"The other day when I spoke to Grandma on the phone, she mentioned that your parents are planning to return next week." Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren as she continued to slice potatoes in a steady rhythm.
"Oh yeah. But it might be delayed since they're very busy." Hao Ren shook off the water from the greens and began washing another bunch of vegetables.
"When your parents come back, let's get together for dinner with both our families," Zhao Hongyu suggested.
"Sure." Hao Ren nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hongyu suddenly proposed to have a meal with his parents; Hao Ren felt that there must be some matter they wanted to discuss. However, since his parents weren't back yet, he didn't ask further questions.
"Oh right, Aunt, I also need to talk to you about something." While washing the vegetables, Hao Ren turned and looked at Zhao Hongyu.
"What is it" Zhao Hongyu asked indifferently.
"It's about... Xie Yujia. You've met her before, right She wants to see Su Han," Hao Ren said.
"I remember her." Picking up a new potato, Zhao Hongyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is she also practicing martial arts"
"You know about it" Hao Ren asked casually. Then he thought that Donghai City was under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan; anything big or small would not escape their notice if they paid attention to it.
"Yes, she is also practicing cultivation. But without a dragon丹dan, her practice should belong to the human cultivators, right" Hao Ren continued to ask.
"Human cultivator, hmm," Zhao Hongyu bit her lip. "Since she's staying on the ground, her master must be a cultivator of the Spirit Formation realm. Last time when the Nine-Headed Dragon Palace descended over Donghai City, many human cultivators from cultivation sects above the Fifth Layer of Heaven were mobilized, making their existence no longer a secret."
Zhao Hongyu paused for a moment, "Previously, both sides only had small-scale interactions around the Nine-Headed Dragon Palace. Now that most of the human cultivators have suffered casualties in this incident, relations between both sides are somewhat tense."
"Mother," you want to say..." Hao Ren was a bit confused.
Zhao Hongyu turned and looked at Hao Ren, "We certainly wouldn't offend a high-ranking Spirit Formation cultivator. Since Xie Yujia is the disciple of such a high-level cultivator, we as the hosts from Donghai Dragon Palace have to show some respect. However, relations between human and dragon cultivators aren't as harmonious as it seems on the surface. Therefore, if an internal conflict breaks out between Donghai and Xihaibei Sea, her master definitely won't intervene."
She took a breath before continuing, "This means that, in principle, our core location, Donghai Dragon Palace, shouldn't be accessed by human cultivators. But since she wants to visit Su Han out of good intentions, we can allow it, but only up to a point where she doesn't see too many details."
"Cover her eyes" Hao Ren asked.
"That's the best option," Zhao Hongyu replied decisively. "If your classmate agrees, we will let her enter Dragon Palace."
"Alright, I'll ask her tomorrow." Hao Ren nodded readily.
"Also, Ren," Zhao Hongyu continued to look at him intently, "recently you seem to be spending a lot of time with this Xie classmate."
Hao Ren was taken aback and looked at her.
"I know how well you treat Ah Zi. I also understand that you maintain your distance from Xie Yujia. However, there are times when you need to be clear about your stance. Lu L琳琳inlin and Lu Li莉lili li are people from the Celestial World and have almost no connection with us; their kindness towards you is beneficial for Donghai. Su Han is an inspector, so interacting with her shouldn't cause any problems. But Xie Yujia represents the human cultivator's stance..."
At this point, Zhao Hongyu changed her tone and said, "To put it bluntly, if Lu L琳琳inlin and Lu Li莉lili li choose to serve you for life, I don't see any issue with that. They like to play around but are also quite nice towards Ah Zi. However, keeping a human cultivator by your side is inappropriate."
Hao Ren didn't expect Zhao Hongyu to bring up this topic and fell into deep thought.
"In short, be mindful of the boundaries. I'm not pressuring you; as long as you're kind towards Ah Zi, everything else doesn't matter much to me. It's just that with Xie Yujia’s background, I don’t think she would stand on our side." Zhao Hongyu opened a hot pot slowly and continued.
