"Hey... Hey... Do you really have to do this..." Hao Ren hurriedly raised his hands.
"Myriad Ice Slash!"
Su Han, leaping high in the air against a backdrop of the full moon, slashed her sword through empty space, suddenly shooting out hundreds of ice shards!
How could Hao Ren still dare to come at her with horse stance punches He immediately did a lazy dog roll and rolled towards the direction of the left goal post.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The ice shards pierced into the grass, shooting out hundreds of dense, ten-centimeter-deep holes in the lush green lawn!
"Myriad Ice Slash!"
Just as Hao Ren was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Su Han's voice softly echoed again.
Hoping for my life! Hao Ren leaped out of the goal post direction; hundreds of ice shards rained down once more!
"Myriad Ice Slash..."
Su Han's devilish voice rang out again.
"I surrender! I surrender!" Hao Ren suddenly jumped up and hurriedly shouted towards Su Han.
This woman has an unusually small heart!
After僥倖winning her twice, she became infuriated with shame! She forces me to use my full strength against her but also won't let me win!
Hao Ren was inwardly lamenting his misfortune.
"Hmph!" Su Han finally put away her sword and slowly landed on the grass.
Her expression was cold as ice, but she still felt humiliated inside. At home, when she was beaten by Hao Ren and lost a pair of slippers, she switched to an external venue and carefully fought with him at the Geng level, yet she actually lost!
How could this allow Su Han's self-esteem to bear it
Hao Ren looked at Su Han, saw her acting like a child by sulking after losing, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Although he had almost eaten dirt twice, thinking about Su Han's temper, she was rather cute.
"Your cultivation method does have unique characteristics." Su Han still couldn't put on a friendly face despite her humiliation. "Although you're currently at the lower Geng level, with your cultivation method, even facing an upper Geng level opponent might not result in defeat."
"All thanks to your excellent guidance," Hao Ren immediately said while bowing.
Half of this statement was flattery and half was sincere. At the moment, Hao Ren's body was all torn up with numerous wounds, but his understanding of combat had deepened another layer.
Cultivation and fighting were originally two different concepts; Su Han was a genius in cultivation but not in battle. Her sword skills, as seen by Qin Shaoyang, were quite poor.
However, Su Han was still a Gan-level expert whose casual moves could shake heaven and earth, while Hao Ren was merely Geng level. If his combat proficiency wasn't high enough, it would be hard for him to stand out in the Dragon God Temple's examination.
"Don't flatter me," Su Han glanced at Hao Ren before suddenly moving!
Dada...
Su Han ran on the grass barefoot. During her swift sprint, her delicate white feet kept switching positions. Suddenly, she held her sword with one hand and gracefully leaped into the air!
Frost Moves Nine Heavens!
A crescent-shaped frost swept across, aiming at the distant stands.
Boom!
An entire row of seats was cleanly severed in half.
During this process, a golden light flew high into the sky.
"Moon Crescent Slash!" Su Han raised her chest and extended her sword strike upwards...
Her nightwear slightly fluttered, revealing a small patch of her pale belly.
Bang!
A silver light almost as bright as a flashbang cut through the air in waves towards the sky.
A muffled grunt was heard from above. Hao Ren recognized this as Qin Shaoyang's voice.
"Su Han, do you hate me so much" asked Qin Shaoyang through the void.
Hao Ren squinted his eyes but still couldn't see where Qin Shaoyang was.
"Get lost!" Su Han landed on her feet and launched another beam of sword light from her saber.
“To actually like a weak Geng-rank practitioner! After the Dragon God Temple's examination in a few days, I'll see just how you plan to support him!” A flicker of golden light flashed across the stadium sky.
Evidently, Su Han’s sudden attack hit Qin Shaoyang. It was also clear that from the moment Hao Ren and Su Han entered the stadium, Qin Shaoyang had been following them all along. And during Su Han's sparring with Hao Ren, Qin Shaoyang had been watching surreptitiously.
“It seems I misjudged him. Qin Shaoyang didn’t stop you from participating in the Dragon God Temple’s examination because he knew that by now, I am no longer a fourth-level examiner.” Su Han sheathed her saber and said coolly.
If Su Han wasn't a fourth-level examiner, then she couldn't become an examiner for the upcoming exam either. That meant during the examination process, Su Han wouldn’t be able to show any favoritism towards Hao Ren, while Qin Shaoyang, still holding the position of chief examiner, could easily manipulate the situation to pit Hao Ren against only formidable opponents!
Just as Su Han hoped that Hao Ren would somehow oust Qin Shaoyang, Qin Shaoyang could also use the examination to bring Hao Ren down. He wouldn't sit idly by and let it happen!
In Qin Shaoyang's view, Hao Ren’s chances of becoming a formal examiner were slim to none. If some irascible cultivator knocked Hao Ren back one or two levels, that would be great news! Perhaps the Donghai Dragon Palace might even fall out with Su Han over her encouragement for Hao Ren to participate in the Dragon God Temple's examination!
“No matter what, I want to give it a shot.” Hao Ren said.
Perhaps staying at Donghai Dragon Palace would allow him to live an easy life. But Hao Ren wanted to improve himself, reach higher realms, and ensure Zhao Zihan's safety—these goals could only be achieved by honing his skills through battles!
The landslide incident reminded Hao Ren once again that within the dragon community, strength was the ultimate truth! Otherwise, even protecting one’s own family would be impossible.
Seeing Hao Ren's determined expression, Su Han was momentarily stunned. She had always been alone and most trusted only her master, Star Moon. Back then, when she joined the Dragon God Temple, it was merely to obtain better resources for cultivation; thus, she couldn’t understand Hao Ren’s mindset.
"Wear these," Su Han took out five slender silver bracelets from her bracelet.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han with suspicion, "Are those Tai Mountain Bracelets"
Su Han shook her head and said, "They're not Tai Mountain Bracelets. These can increase your strength by 50%, which will be very beneficial for you when you take the Dragon God Temple’s imperial examination."
Seeing Hao Ren still looking at her doubtfully, Su Han helplessly pouted her lips and looked at him again, "Why would I deceive you"
Su Han, standing barefoot on the lawn under the dim starlight, looked as beautiful as a moon goddess.
"Wear two on your hands, two on your feet, and one around your neck," Su Han held Hao Ren's arm and put them on him herself.
The five bracelets immediately merged into Hao Ren’s skin when they were put onto his body from different directions.
Su Han stepped back a few steps and said gently, "Alright, try it out."
Hao Ren clenched both fists and channeled the Sword Illusion Technique. He felt that... even spiritual energy had come to a standstill!
"These are called Five Mountain Bracelets. They're several times more advanced than the old Tai Mountain Bracelet and can comprehensively restrict the physical strength and spiritual energy of the wearer. No one below the peak level of Heavenly Rank can escape the restrictions of the Five Mountain Bracelet. However, with this set that I gave you, at least 40% of your power can be utilized."
Su Han squinted her eyes and said softly with a mysterious smile.
"This... " Hao Ren felt like he had five mountains pressing on him, making it even difficult to breathe.
"Before the martial arts test, I'll remove them for you. Until then, wear them. They're indispensable tools for improving your skill level at home or while traveling," Su Han nodded in satisfaction and said happily as she looked at Hao Ren.
How petty! It's just that I touched your shoulder, ruined your slippers, and won a match against you!
Hao Ren shouted in his heart.
"You're covered in wounds. Let me apply some medicine on them when we get back," Su Han grabbed Hao Ren’s right hand and stepped onto the jade sword to leave the damaged stadium. very handsome! At the beginning of military training, when the instructor punished him by having a long-distance running contest with him, he even beat the instructor!"Two first-year female students...
