Chapter 47 One Is More Fierce Than the Next

n, Hao Ren also sat next to her."Here!" Zhao Yanzi threw something in front of Hao Ren.Hao Ren squinted and realized it was a band-aid. He asked with confusion, "Why are you giving me this"You have wo...Chapter 47: One Is More Ruthless Than the Other

Hao Ren looked at the banner and walked over to see another line of smaller characters underneath it that read, "Thursday evening at eight o'clock on March 18th, Yifū Grand Auditorium."

Next Thursday... It was整整一週的時間 from now. The school couldn't wait to hang such a large banner right in front of the main gate; this was nothing more than boasting.

Donghai University was positioned as an all-around comprehensive university, but its direction of development leaned towards being a research-oriented institution. Therefore, it always spared no effort to promote science lectures and research projects. Under such policies, Donghai University's research capabilities indeed continued to strengthen, and its overall strength also kept improving. Not only were the quality of undergraduate education among the top ten in the country, but postgraduate studies were also developing towards more profound depths.

Hao Ren leaped over puddles as he traversed through the campus. With a night's torrential rain, the tree-shaded school grounds exuded a refreshing chill that made one feel particularly comfortable.

Hao Ren crossed from the main gate to the south gate, then crossed the road and returned to his dormitory where he found Zhao Jiayin and others had already left. He packed up his small bag and proceeded to class again in the campus.

In the classroom, Zhou Liren saw Hao Ren finally arrive and shouted, "Ah Ren, have you been taken care of by a wealthy lady"

"Don't say nonsense!" Hao Ren hurriedly walked over and smacked him on the head with his book.

"But you didn’t come back last night. We all said you were being supported by a rich woman!" Zhou Liren blocked his head with his hand, laughing loudly as he spoke.

"Isn't that your dream" Hao Ren swiped at him twice more on the face with the book, of course not using excessive force.

Xie Yujia, who was sitting in front, heard Zhou Liren and others making a ruckus behind her, turned around to look at them.

"Did you stay over at the girl's house where you give tutoring" Zhao Jiayin leaned over and asked.

"Yeah. It rained heavily yesterday, so I couldn't come back home, and I just stayed overnight there," Hao Ren answered.

"Aren't they trying to keep you as their son-in-law by letting you stay overnight at their house" Cao Ronghua also leaned over and remarked.

“We analyzed it until late last night and we think that little girl must have ulterior motives, otherwise why would she even come to watch the sports meet” Zhou Liren said, no longer being attacked by Hao Ren.

Slap!

Hao Ren's book hit his face again.

"Stop guessing randomly. It was just because of the rain that I stayed for a night," Hao Ren threw the book onto the table and sat down.

"Then what about you and Xie Yujia…" Zhou Liren leaned forward, lowering his voice, "Are you really not interested in her at all"

"Damn it, why are you so nosy!" Hao Ren glared at him.

"It concerns a thousand dollars. If you have a girlfriend, Zhao Jiayin will lose a thousand yuan to me and Cao Ronghua," Zhou Liren said with a smile.

"Scoundrel!" Hao Ren raised his fist and hit him on the face with the back of his hand.

The class went by in fits and starts, morning and afternoon alike passing uneventfully.

Hao Ren spent time preparing for today's evening tutoring session for Zhao Yanzǐ. Unwittingly, the last class was over.

There were still two hours before dinner time. As per their dormitory habit, they usually returned to the dorm or went to an internet cafe to play World of Warcraft.

The students left the classroom one by one when suddenly Hao Ren noticed that those who had already stepped out of the classroom stopped at the door.

Hao Ren and Zhou Liren walked slowly towards the exit as well, only to find Su Han standing outside the classroom!

She seemed to be waiting for someone!

Seeing Hao Ren come out, Su Han stepped forward and said, "Hao classmate, let's take a walk around the campus!"

Hearing this, their classmates fell silent. Xie Yujia also looked at Su Han and Hao Ren in surprise, not understanding what was happening.

"What Afraid of me" Seeing that Hao Ren didn't answer, Su Han asked again.

With his head held high, Hao Ren walked confidently down the stairs with Su Han.

This left a group of classmates staring at them in disbelief, their glasses practically falling off their faces.

The two of them went downstairs and out of the teaching building. Along the way, whether it was students going up or down the stairs, or those on the road outside the teaching building, they all cast strange glances towards Su Han walking with a boy.

Today, Su Han wore black and white clothing, her U-neck short-sleeved knitted top highlighting her graceful long neck and making her entire beautiful head stand out like a sculpture.

The metal bracelet she was wearing on her hand added an old-fashioned touch; the loose bracelet made her slender arms more delicate and feminine as they peeked out from her sleeves.

While Hao Ren glanced at her closely, comparing her with Zhao Hongyu in his mind to see who was better at dressing up.

Turning around, he saw Zhou Liren and the others secretly following them from afar.

These guys... Hao Ren really didn't know what to do with them. He knew that Su Han had enough strength to notice if those boys were following her, but since she came directly to him, it meant she wanted everything to be open and above board.

"I have already investigated the entire situation," Su Han suddenly said as they walked out of the teaching building for more than ten meters.

A faint fragrance wafted out from her cherry lips. Even without dressing up, Su Han was still a beauty who could captivate anyone.

"Are you talking about my identity" Hao Ren asked. Since others were far away, he wasn't worried that they would overhear his conversation with Su Han.

"Hmm," Su Han nodded, "I've asked Lu Qing and talked to Ah Zi. I now have a clear understanding of the whole situation."

"Does this mean you acknowledge my identity" Hao Ren asked.

"I suppose it can be considered as an acknowledgment, albeit勉強. The attitude from the East Sea is very firm; in your case, I can only consider it a special favor. Your identity isn't orthodox, but considering the circumstances, Ah Zi's parents have helped me out, and for now, I'll make an exception," Su Han said while walking with a light step.

"For now" Hao Ren caught onto a key word and asked.

"Yes, just暫時. The result of my negotiation with the East Sea side is that if you can't successfully cultivate the dragon clan's techniques, I will use my position as an inspector to strip your qualification to be part of the dragon clan. And this期限," Su Han paused for a moment, "is only one month."

"Break through the Concentration Seal" Hao Ren asked.

"You're thinking too highly of yourself. Even if you break through a basic technique like that, it doesn't count as entering the realm of cultivation. What I'm talking about is reaching level Kan in the hierarchy of dragon clan techniques—乾坤巽兌艮震離坎," Su Han said coldly.

Hao Ren felt somewhat disappointed; he had barely managed to break through the first layer of Concentration Seal after almost two weeks, meaning his innate talent was particularly poor. To reach level Kan within the next month wouldn't just be difficult—it would be extremely challenging.

"I've said all that needs to be said. If you don't meet my requirements, I'll fulfill my duty and won't show any favoritism to the East Sea. In the days to come, I will closely monitor your progress in cultivation," Su Han continued.

Hao Ren inwardly groaned; he was not only being watched by Vice Principal Lu Qing but also his father-in-law Zhao Guang, and now this school-wide focus of attention, Teacher Su Han, too.

With all three parties overseeing his cultivation progress, it would have been easier if they just threw him into a refining furnace to roast him.

"Also worth mentioning is that I'm not the only inspector for the dragon clan. While I may give you some leeway, other inspectors who take notice of you might not be so lenient,"

Hao Ren was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by..."

"At best, an interrogation; at worst, execution!" Su Han said each word deliberately.容易辨認。郝仁知道學校裡肯定有男生追求陸琳琳和陸莉莉像她們這樣的眼睛會看得上凡夫俗子？現在被限製一大半的實力，還能達到坤級境界；將來功力恢複後，連趙闊都未必是她們的對手！她們打開了話匣子，談論著班級和學校的事情。這種輕鬆愉快的表情果然還是希望郝仁關心她們的生活。吃完午餐，他們三人也差不多該回去上課了。陸琳琳利索地過去買單，皮夾子裡露出厚厚的一疊鈔票；無疑都是陸清給她們的“零花錢”。對於這兩個坤級外...
