Chapter 432 Being Handsome Can't Be Eaten As Food!

le in his heart.It seemed that apart from Xie Yujia and the classmates from Hao Ren's class, no one would pay attention to Hao Ren who wore cheap sportswear and old travel shoes.In contrast, where Hua...Chapter 432: Being Handsome Doesn't Put Food on the Table

The River and Mountains Chart flew out of the Dragon Deity Temple's range, heading towards the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

Xiao Bai transformed into a puppy form, biting at He Ren’s heels and chirping excitedly. Half of it was from excitement, half was because He Ren didn’t take him along to show off despite such an impressive performance.

Although its intelligence wasn't fully developed, compared to normal pets, it was much more clever. It knew that Qin Shaoyang was a bad guy and that He Ren was awe-inspiring after defeating Qin Shaoyang, so Xiao Bai naturally felt happy for He Ren.

Xia Cheng also looked at He Ren with admiration, but Zhao Kuo had just lost to him, making it awkward for Xia Cheng to praise He Ren while standing beside Zhao Kuo.

The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace participated in the Dragon Deity Temple's exams for the first time, and He Ren brought great honor to them. Zhao Hongyu was also very excited, but she didn't let victory cloud her judgment. She paused and asked He Ren, "Ren, how did you reach the peak of Level Qian The black sword that just appeared is an accessory of the old dragon king; why would he give it to you"

Even Zhao Hongyu's wits wouldn't have led her to think that Old Dragon King Zhao Haoran had exhausted his lifespan.

Zhao Kuo frowned but remained silent.

"Aunt, I’ll explain this matter in detail once we return to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace," He Ren didn’t know how to explain things to Zhao Hongyu, but he knew that Zhao Guang and others would eventually find out about Zhao Haoran's situation.

Before, when he fought with Zhao Kuo, his sole aim was to defeat him to prove himself. Zhao Kuo wouldn't want to lose to He Ren, a junior, so their battle became increasingly intense. The prolonged shaking of He Ren’s meridians caused the elixir containing Zhao Haoran's thousand years of strength to start moving.

He Ren could suppress the elixir by relying on that bit of primordial power from heaven and earth, but when he depleted his own spiritual energy in defeating Zhao Kuo, Zhao Haoran’s thousand years of strength were unintentionally released.

In He Ren's body now, this thousand-year strength was causing havoc. It was enough to make him understand what it meant by "a living hell"!

The only reason He Ren could still maintain a calm expression while speaking was his tenacity.

"Alright..." Zhao Hongyu thought that after fighting several rounds, He Ren must be tired too. Although she had many questions, she didn't continue to ask them.

He Ren sat cross-legged and frowned as he adjusted his breathing. Zhao Haoran's strength was overwhelmingly powerful; at his Level Gen Middle stage, it was impossible for him to control it.

On the other hand, if He Ren were at a Level Zhen level, just stirring this power would result in an explosive death!

Zhao Kuo looked at He Ren and snorted lightly. His complexion was somewhat pale but he hadn't sustained any real injuries.

Hao Ren fought this battle to establish his presence and earn respect. Ultimately, both Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo wanted to defeat each other, with the key factor being Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Kuo wanted to prove that Hao Ren was still far from capable, while Hao Ren aimed to demonstrate that he wasn't weak at all. In their hearts, what they were truly competing for was not victory or defeat but rather Zhao Yanzi!

"Young Master..." Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 sat on either side of Hao Ren, helping him regulate his internal energy by placing their hands on his shoulders.

With their power equivalent to the Heavenly Level, they combined their efforts to assist Hao Ren. Gradually, the chaotic energy within his body began to stabilize.

Zhao Yanzi turned her head to look at Hao Ren and then at Zhao Kuo who was also in meditation, before picking up the fluffy Xiao Bai and sitting in a corner of the River-and-Mountain Diagram.

Xie Yujia exhaled deeply and stood on the edge of the River-and-Mountain Diagram, looking down at the passing clouds. She finally put her anxious heart to rest.

Hao Ren fought each match with extreme tension; Xie Yujia, standing by the side of the arena, observed every move Hao Ren made closely and naturally felt on edge as well.

Now that Hao Ren had returned victorious, Xie Yujia felt as if she'd won several matches herself, her body feeling utterly exhausted.

Zhen Cōng was sitting atop the River-and-Mountain Diagram, facing away from everyone. He took out paper and pen from his芥子空間and began to sketch and write furiously.

Actually, he had always wanted to enter this Dragon God Hall but lacked the opportunity until now.

This time, when Hao Ren participated in the Dragon God Hall’s exam, Zhen Cōng went with Zhao Guang and others. However, throughout the entire event, he wasn't interested in these battles among Ding Level, Xun Level, or Kun Level "junior cultivators." Instead of watching the matches, his eyes were constantly roving around to observe every nook and cranny inside and outside the Dragon God Hall.

The Dragon God Hall was the hub for dragon clan cultivators, possessing resources even surpassing those of the Four Seas Dragon Palaces.

Zhen Cōng resided temporarily in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace with Qiong Niu; despite his thick skin, he felt it impolite to dig into the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace's resources. As for the Western Sea Dragon Palace, he had already looted a large amount of gems last time and crafted several flying treasures for Xiao Bai from them, yet there wasn't anything particularly rare.

But this Dragon God Hall was different; Zhen Cōng didn’t belong to the dragon clan cultivators, and he was unfamiliar with it. For him, the illustrious Dragon God Hall was a treasure trove.

Slowly, intricate lines began to appear on Zhen Cōng’s white paper, filled with numerous symbols and annotations that were even more complex than the most complicated mathematical inferences or architectural designs.

Even the world's most renowned scientists would be utterly lost if they got hold of this document. Yet for Zhen Cōng, those university courses that could cut down countless students like “Linear Algebra” and "Advanced Mathematics" were child’s play!

The mastery of his Barrier School cultivation level was sufficient to overturn the world's most complex mathematical theories and physical laws!

If he wants to learn programming, he would definitely become the strongest hacker in the world!

In just one hour, he managed to calculate and even recreate the layers of magical arrays surrounding the Dragon Shrine that were nested over 600 times. If this isn't crazy, then what is... Zhen Caiming was somewhat arrogant, but his intelligence truly placed him among geniuses!

The River and Mountains Map flew loudly above the white clouds. Everyone stayed quiet; some meditated while others pondered over their own thoughts.

"We've arrived," Zhao Hongyu suddenly said.

Hao Ren opened his eyes to see that they were indeed already hovering above the sea surface. A dozen kilometers away, it was Donghai City's port.

With Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s help, the explosive spiritual energy within him finally returned to the Spirit Pill in his Sea of Qi and then sealed by a thread of pure primordial power from heaven and earth.

"Congratulations, sir!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood up beside Hao Ren, shouting crisply.

Though they were both Heaven Rank, Zhao Haoran’s thousand-year cultivation was at the peak level of Heaven Rank. At this moment, with their task accomplished, they were all exhausted and drenched in sweat, with half of their gossamer palace attire soaked through.

Hao Ren clenched his fist and stood up. The Dragon Pill near his Dantian felt extremely refreshing, with the number of dragon orifices he had opened reaching 178.

By forcibly charging through Hao Ren’s body using Zhao Haoran's thousand-year cultivation power before gradually retracting it back into the Spirit Pill, it was essentially a thorough cleansing of Hao Ren's body with peak Heaven Rank strength. The benefits were evident.

Hao Ren underwent a spiritual energy tug-of-war equivalent to three Heaven Rank cultivators. Naturally, his sweat would be more than that of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

However, the sweat Hao Ren was sweating wasn’t like Lu Linlin’s and Lu Lili's clear perspiration; it was blackish stinky sweat!

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood next to Hao Ren, smiling as they watched him without any signs of disliking his smell.

Hao Ren looked down at the layer of mud-like dirt on his skin's surface and knew that his constitution had undergone a significant improvement!

The congratulations from Lu Linlin and Lu Lili referred to this very thing!

"Eww, it stinks!" Zhao Yanzi, who was sleeping while holding Xiao Bai in her arms, suddenly smelled Hao Ren's odor and couldn't help but yell.

"Hehe, I think you should go wash yourself," Lu Linlin extended both hands, directly pushing Hao Ren out from the River and Mountains Map.

Hao Ren fell from several hundred meters high, right into the churning waves below!

If this had happened in the past, Hao Ren would have screamed out of panic. But now, he remained completely calm.

*Plop!*

Hao Ren's body plunged into the sea, causing a splash that was instantly swallowed by the waves. His sinews, tempered by heavenly tribulation energy, were far from ordinary in strength; thus, his skin suffered no harm whatsoever when colliding with seawater.

With vigorous leg movements, Hao Ren swam under water for several dozen meters. Growing up near the coast, he had always been a good swimmer. Now, his body's flexibility was far superior to before, and his strength had increased many times over—just a slight exertion allowed him to move swiftly through the sea like a tuna fish.

The seawater washed away the mud caked on Hao Ren’s skin, making his pores feel more comfortable.

Holding onto two long robes tied together and draped across his body with both hands, he casually donned one of them. He then stepped upon a grayish-white sword qi and burst out of the water.

*Whoosh!*

Refreshed all over, Hao Ren directly leaped onto the江山圖(Jiang Shan Tu) from several hundred meters high again. His face had gone from sullen black to clean and tidy, his wet hair giving him an unexpectedly handsome look.

The stench was gone, replaced by a faint salty taste of seawater.

"Sir looks even more handsome now!" Lu Linlin took the opportunity to flatter Hao Ren. Standing beside her, Lu Lili stifled a giggle with her hand, gazing at him with adoring eyes through half-closed eyelashes.

Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and gave a slight smile but didn't say anything.

"Cool! Cool! How cool can it be Can you eat it" Zhao Yanzi yelled while still unable to tear her gaze away from Hao Ren.

"Mother, let's quickly return to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. There are important matters to discuss," Hao Ren said to Zhao Hongyu.

He mobilized his Sword Shadows and Fiery Spiritual Energy, covering his entire body in an instant, drying off his wet robe.

"Alright!" With a hand gesture, Zhao Hongyu accelerated the flight of the江山圖(Jiang Shan Tu), erecting a water-defying barrier as it "bang" plunged into the sea.

(To be continued)next week’s match." Xie Wanjun then commented on Hao Ren's performance.Zhao Jiayin, looking at Hao Ren beneath the hoop, smiled inwardly; he already knew how to fake moves with just a meal’s worth of...
