Among all the visitors, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yangyuan were the most prestigious. However, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yangyuan had never expected that the club their son, Hao Ren, established at school would be so large.

The distant dragon palace elders who had identities in human society learned that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yangyuan were Hao Ren’s parents and went over to speak with them.

Zhao Hongyu found out that many visitors from other regions’ dragon palaces had come to Donghai University. She drove her car there too. Zhao Hongyu was the closest to Yue Yangyuan, so she greeted some dragon kings and queens and whispered in Yue’s ear.

The other dragon palace cultivators were secretly impressed by the relationship between Zhao Hongyu and Yue Yangyuan.

They then looked at Donghai’s little princess, Zhao Yanzi. She was tightly holding Hao Ren's wrist as she darted through the hall. It seemed that this little princess indeed liked her husband very much.

A match made in heaven!

Their exact relationship with the Zhongs and the Zhaos remained unknown to them, but they didn’t understand how Donghai Dragon Palace could withstand pressure to marry their princess off to a human. However… judging from Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu’s relaxed expressions, it seemed that the princess had found her ideal husband.

Donghai Dragon Palace was not above Dragon God Temple in terms of hierarchy; rather, Dragon God Temple was higher than Donghai Dragon Palace. This Hao Ren was already a fourth-tier investigator at Dragon God Temple at such a young age—there must be something extraordinary about him!

It was said that the millions-strong army of Donghai Dragon Palace obeyed this new general without question...

The dragon cultivators who had witnessed Hao Ren’s martial arts trials at Dragon God Temple were particularly impressed by him. He was a rising star who dared to challenge even a Jinsan Tier investigator and defeated them so badly that they couldn’t fight back!

“If he sets his sights on my princess, I wouldn’t mind her marrying a human…,” the dragon kings thought inwardly.

Their only option was to admire Donghai Dragon King’s and Donghai Dragon Queen’s foresight. They had already sensed this Hao Ren’s extraordinary potential before he displayed it!

Donghai Dragon Palace’s superiority over Western Ocean Dragon Palace wasn’t without reason after all.

“Uncle! Uncle Liu!”

Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren around and sweetly called out to any dragon elders she recognized.

The dragon palaces who sent their young ones to Donghai University to study included some remote ones that wanted their juniors to experience the bustling city, and others close to Donghai City. For example, Dragon Kings from Dongting Lake, Moshan Island, Hongze Lake, and Tianmu Mountain—Zhao Yanzi all knew.

“All right…,” these dragon elders smiled at Zhao Yanzi, their eyes filled with affection.

The members of Hao Ren’s club knew that this little girl was Donghai Dragon King’s only daughter. However, ordinary students saw the human boy being dragged by a super cute and dazzling middle schooler and thought his luck with women was too good.

A junior high school girl looks youthful and lively, but Zhao Yanzǐ appears even more energetic compared to other girls of her age. From the way she tightly clings onto Huo Ren, it's evident how attached she is to him.

In fact, Zhao Yanzǐ brought Huo Ren to meet various seniors in order to further solidify their relationship and confirm her status as his fiancée, an unbreakable bond.

Boom!

As Zhao Yanzǐ was pulling Huo Ren forward to introduce him to Uncle Ye of Fuchun River, she suddenly bumped into someone's body.

She touched her forehead and looked up. She saw an elderly man with white hair wearing a gray jacket staring intently at her and Huo Ren.

"Young friend, the thing you owe me should be returned now," said this old man abruptly.

The item... Zhao Yanzǐ was confused as she looked back at him.

Huo Ren grabbed Zhao Yanzǐ’s arm and pulled her back half a step. The Golden Light Shield in his芥子空間 began to vibrate.

It seems unavoidable now. This golden dragon cultivator appearing here, not interacting with other cultivators, definitely isn't just touring the East Sea University.

"Fine birds choose good trees to perch on and spiritual treasures choose their masters; does what Senior is referring to mean the Golden Light Shield" Huo Ren asked.

Huo Zhonghua, who was talking with the principal at that moment, didn't pay much attention when he saw Huo Ren conversing with a white-haired old man. He continued discussing matters related to the construction of the school’s experimental building.

"I’ve come for three items this time: first, the Heaven Piercing Shield; second, your Sword Light Technique; third… the Mysterious Water Sword Art," said the old man looking at Huo Ren.

His words were forceful and assertive as if he was certain of obtaining those three things.

"Are you Xu Ke's master" asked Huo Ren.

"You know that, then hand over the items. If you do so, I’ll let it go," he said looking around at the crowd in the hall, "Here, no one can guarantee your safety."

Zhao Yanzǐ looked confusedly from the old man to Huo Ren. She thought everyone who came was on their side; how did a bad guy slip through

Huo Ren scanned his surroundings but didn’t spot Ye Zilong's figure. It seemed that Ye Zilong, wanting to avoid revealing his position as deputy chamberlain, had no interest in helping Huo Ren out.

Having given Huo Ren five Crossing-Bound Talismans was a big favor already; he wasn't Huo Ren’s bodyguard.

"If I were to act, I would level this grand building to the ground and still obtain those three items. The Dragon God Temple wouldn’t find it easy to chase me," said the old man.

Huo Ren guessed that his cultivation realm was above Wang Shitong but not too far beyond him. Back then, Huo Ren could sense the peak Heaven grade cultivation level of Wang Shitong, yet he couldn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from this old man at all.

Perhaps… "He might be even stronger than Yue Zilong."

A cultivator at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Level can easily destroy a skyscraper just by stomping his foot. If the library collapses, those dragon clan cultivators may not get hurt, but ordinary students inside and Hao Ren's parents and grandmother would be in danger.

Taiyi Cave Lord calculated that there was no one here who could restrain him, so he came alone without fear.

"You dare to do this; the Dragon God Temple will definitely hold you accountable," Su Han walked over and stood next to Hao Ren.

Ever since she entered the library, she had been observing the old man beside Xu Ke.

With her near-Heavenly Level cultivation, Su Han couldn’t even sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy in this old man’s body. But Su Han didn't believe that Xu Ke would invite an ordinary person as a senior!

"Hold me accountable" The old man glanced at the nearby Xu Ke, "If the Dragon God Temple wants to settle this case, it's simple; just come and catch me—Taiyi Cave Lord never protects those who act improperly."

“I…,”

Xu Ke’s expression froze as he stared blankly at the old man.

"…"

The momentum of Taiyi Cave Lord suddenly erupted.

Over a thousand hanging calligraphy pieces in the library moved without any wind, scattering everywhere all of a sudden.

Rainwater from outside the library poured inside, instantly drenching Hao Ren's calligraphy displayed at the main entrance.

"Old man, you dare!" Su Han frowned and her face flushed with rage.

In the dragon clan, strength is supreme. However, they still respect hierarchy and rank. Cultivators of the same generation can only spar if their levels are within one grade apart; much less a senior attacking a junior!

A gale blew in from outside, causing ordinary people inside the library to stand unsteadily, all closing their eyes.

Hao Ren was worried that he would destroy the library and kicked hard with both feet. Like an arrow released from its bow, he suddenly darted out of the main entrance.

This was exactly what Taiyi Cave Lord wanted—right foot planted firmly on the marble floor, his body shot out at a diagonal angle.

Students queuing up by the door suddenly felt strong winds blowing from the stairs. Then they saw two streaks of light shooting out from the library. A sudden gale struck them like a collapsing wall, making them fall sideways to the ground.

Just as they tried getting back on their feet, another dazzling white light shot out from the library, followed by a whirlwind that knocked them down again.

The third streak of light—this was Su Han chasing after Hao Ren. She knew he couldn’t beat this Golden Dragon and felt worried about him being forced into battle, so she hurriedly flew out to help him.

The student council members guarding the entrance to the library couldn't withstand the sudden burst of force and tumbled to both sides, completely baffled by what was happening.

Inside the library, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang managed to stay on their feet just as Grandma, who almost fell down, was supported by Lu Lingling and Lu Lili. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.

The Dragon Kings sensed something amiss and rushed out of the library onto the small square in front of it.

High above, a golden dragon cultivator clad in a gray padded jacket was hot on Hao Ren's heels, while Su Han, riding on an emerald jade longsword, followed closely behind at breakneck speed.

Rushing out the door were over five hundred club members, all staring up at the sky.

The students standing on the steps watched in unison but saw only layers of dark clouds.

Lu Lingling and Lu Lili, seeing Hao Ren being chased by a golden dragon cultivator, wanted to rush in for help but had to restrain themselves from vanishing before ordinary people. They anxiously observed the situation high above while accompanying Grandma and protecting Hao Ren's family.

Xie Yujia, with her bronze bow pendent hanging around her neck, couldn't draw her bow or shoot arrows under everyone's watchful eyes; she could only bite on her teeth in frustration and stand between Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang.

The other dragon cultivators were similarly restrained from taking action. If they formed a barrier, they would vanish before ordinary people, but if they didn't, they couldn't levitate!

"Seal the Heavens!"

In the high heavens, Ta Yi Cave Lord unleashed a massive red barrier that enveloped the entire city. This large barrier rendered invisible any dragon cultivator exerting spiritual power from ordinary people's view.

Without defeating the cultivator who cast this barrier, one couldn't break through such concealment!

The cultivators inside and outside of the library were now mingled among the ordinary people. If they used their spiritual powers, they would vanish abruptly.

If that happened before ordinary people, the dragon clan's long-kept secrets would be exposed!

With this move by Ta Yi Cave Lord, all the dragon cultivators on the ground were left immobilized. He only needed to deal with Hao Ren and Su Han!

"Hmph!" With both palms linked together, Ta Yi Cave Lord fired out five golden light blades toward Su Han.

He hadn't anticipated that Su Han would react so quickly and slip out of the library amidst the chaos. He intended to hit Su Han as well!ored three-quarter sleeves, sat neatly by the table like a budding rose, waiting for breakfast.The wobbly Lulin and LuLili looked like two supporting flowers; when they saw Hao Ren, they quickly calle...
