Chapter 190: The Attack of Sword Energies

“What do I get if I win?” Hao Ren asked her immediately.

Su Han froze. She meant to improve his battle experience with this practice and had not thought of the prize.

“You can’t possibly win against me,” Su Han said lightly.

“Ok!” Hao Ren stood up, wanting to take the opportunity to test his strength after unlocking seven openings.

With a bang, he released his Nature Essence and built a red energy sphere. Compared with the state when he had only unlocked two openings, he felt a noticeable increase in the five-elemental essence in his body. The Dragon Core was like an engine and a reservoir for Nature Essence; whenever he unlocked one opening, the absorption power, and the reservoir volume would increase.

Two grey sword energies appeared in Hao Ren’s palms, and Su Han summoned a white jade sword into her hand while looking at Hao Ren.

“Let’s begin.” Hao Ren threw a grey sword energy at Su Han. The hundun sword energy was a combination of five elements or Lightning Power as Lu Linlin and Lu Lili called it.

Su Han stepped aside before shattering the hundun sword energy with the tip of her sword.

Clap! Clap… Like an exploding lightning bolt, the hundun sword energy crackled upon contact with the tip of the white jade sword.

A weak surge of lightning traveled along the sword, numbing Su Han’s fingers slightly.

Before Su Han could make any adjustments, Hao Ren threw out the second hundun sword energy, and Su Han blocked it with the body of her sword.

With another series of crackling sound, the hundun sword energy exploded, and Su Han felt another numbing sensation in her palm.

The hundun sword energy could break all five elements! Su Han’s sword was made with Tianluo Godly Jade from a place of extreme coldness, and it was a very precious material. Otherwise, Su Han wouldn’t have made it her Natal Dharma Treasure!

However, Hao Ren’s hundun sword energy could even break the special power of her jade sword while the lightning traveled along the Tianluo Godly Jade which could fend off all evil energies and all elements!

Su Han was a bit surprised. If Hao Ren were more powerful than Kan-level, she would have been defeated. If Hao Ren were at Kun-level, she would have been forced to let go of her sword in the first round!

However, that was all How Ren could do. In the past, he could only throw out one hundun sword energy; now with seven openings unlocked, he could at most throw out two. After that, he changed to the ordinary five-elemental sword energies.

Swoosh! He tossed out a white sword energy.

White represented the metal element, and Su Han cultivated the metal essences. Her sword arced elegantly in the air, and the special material of the sword turned the white sword energy into nothing.

Hao Ren flickered his wrists and pushed his palms forward, releasing so many sword energies that it looked endless.

The power in the sword energies was weak, but he would win if any one of them touched Su Han.

He drew one thread of essence from each element into each of his sword energies. If the total value of each elemental essence in Hao Ren’s body was ten, then the value of each sword energy he released was one.

Su Han had meant to test Hao Ren and give him some battle experience, but she was surprised to see that he has gotten more powerful with each attack. At first, he released one sword energy at a time with only one finger. Then, he could release two with two fingers. Now, he could release sword energies with all ten fingers at the same time!

Each attack contained ten sword energies! Hao Ren didn’t care about which elemental essence he released, so the attack was a mix of all five colors; white, green, blue, red, and yellow.

If people were watching, they would see a dizzying cluster of dancing sword energies.

Under his fierce attacks, it felt like Su Han was forced to focus on defending herself and couldn’t spare any strength to launch attacks.

Before the first wave of the ten sword energies could reach her, Hao Ren released another ten sword energies.

Su Han could have blocked these sword energies with one defense essence shield, but it wouldn’t be a good practice for either of them.

The moment she blocked ten sword energies with her sword, another ten were in the air while ten more were being released from Hao Ren’s fingers.

Su Han faced 30 sword energies altogether at the same time.

She wasn’t an experienced fighter. Therefore, she looked calm, but her movements became frantic!

Hiss!

Finally, a sword energy went through her defense and shot toward her body.

Su Han tried to dodge, but it pierced through her clothes.

At this sight, Hao Ren immediately stopped releasing more sword energies.

Su Han’s sleeve was cut, and her white skin was revealed.

Whoosh! Hao Ren withdrew the red energy sphere, signaling the end of the practice.

Su Han turned her head to look at the cut on her cloth. She withdrew her sword and pulled the sleeves together.

“How was it, Su Han?” Hao Ren asked with sincerity.

“You were ok,” Su Han said lightly. Even though she was defeated, she had to maintain the dignity of a master.

Hao Ren smiled in embarrassment. He didn’t think that his random attacks could break through Su Han’s defense. He thought Su Han had let him win to make him feel good.

“This…” He looked at her. “I’ll buy you a new blouse.”

“No.” Su Han said coldly before walking toward her bedroom.

Knowing that she had gone to her room to change, Hao Ren stood there and thought for a while. Finding it was already seven o’clock in the morning, he went into the kitchen and took out a pan and some eggs. He began to cook.

When Su Han walked out of her room in a bright green dress, she smelled the aroma of breakfast.

She found Hao Ren in the kitchen.

Beside a pot of simple congee was a plate with four fried eggs on it.

“I made a simple breakfast.” Hao Ren poured the congee into two bowls and carried them and the plate of fried eggs to the dining table.

Su Han had always been calm, but she was panicking a little right now.

It was the first time that someone cooked her breakfast.

Usually, she would cultivate unless she got hungry. Then, she would eat instant noodles.

Hao Ren was oblivious to her complicated feelings. He just needed to eat breakfast in the morning, and the most efficient way to go about it was to cook.

Not noticing the emotions in Su Han’s eyes, he took two fried eggs into his bowl of porridge and began to eat.

Su Han sat down. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to eat as well. The fried eggs were nothing luxurious, but they were better than instant noodles.

She looked up at Hao Ren and thought about the practice battle, “He is only at Kan-level, but he can now shoot 30 sword energies continuously. If he continues to increase his strength with cultivation, he will be able to control these 30 sword energies and move them around instead of shooting them randomly. Is it possible that I underestimated the power of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll?”

After eating the simple breakfast, Hao Ren picked up his empty bowl and stood up. “If you have nothing else for me to do here, I’ll go home now.”

Su Han nodded.

Hao Ren washed his bowl in the sink. Then, he walked out of the kitchen and headed toward the door.

“Ahem! Ahem!” Looking at his back, Su Han coughed abruptly before saying, “Ugh, if you want, you can cultivate at my place for a couple of days.”

“Thank you, but I’d better go so you can cultivate without interruption,” Hao Ren said as he put on his shoes at the door.

With a fried egg on her chopsticks, Su Han gazed at him.

Hao Ren waved his hand at the door and closed it behind him after walking out. The big apartment was quiet with Su Han in it alone.

Eating the breakfast that was still warm, Su Han was deep in thought, and her long eyelashes fluttering.

In the practice battle, she wanted to instruct him. However, Hao Ren’s unstructured sword attacks inspired her. Since her own sword techniques needed polishing, Hao Ren would be a good partner in training.

“Besides, this guy can cook good breakfasts.”

Hao Ren got to the underground parking lot and drove the Ferrari out of the Flower City Complex. When he got out of Su Han’s apartment, he had toyed with the thought of visiting Lu Qing’s home. On second thought, he decided against it.

He called Zhao Yanzi, but she didn’t answer. Then he called Zhao Hongyu, but the result was the same. Worried, he called Lu Qing and was told that Zhao Yanzi and her family had gone to the Dragon Palace to inspect the altar.

From Lu Qing, Hao Ren also knew that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had gone out shopping. He congratulated himself on the decision of not visiting Lu Qing’s home. Otherwise, he would be dragged by the girls to go shopping.

He drove the car into the garage of his home on the seaside. He wasn’t planning to drive it in the recent future; it was too eye-catching to drive it around the school.

The house was quiet and lonesome since Grandma was absent while Uncle Wang had also returned to his home. After cleaning the house, he glanced at the cloudy sky before sitting down cross-legged in front of the window and starting to cultivate.

In the sounds of surging sea waves, Hao Ren felt like he had returned to his childhood, and Xie Yujia’s figure flashed in his mind.

It was a little girl with big round eyes, and her hands and feet were dirty with mud.

Hao Ren opened his eyes and glanced at the cell phone by his side. After a moment of consideration, he picked it up and dialed Xie Yujia’s number.

It was about nine in the morning, but he was sure that Xie Yujia was up.

After two rings, the call was connected.

“Is it Ren? Yujia has gone out for groceries. What’s up?” A deep voice sounded on the phone.

After a moment of startle, Hao Ren immediately realized that it was Xie Wanjun. Obviously, Xie Yujia didn’t take the phone with her.

“Well, nothing special. I just wanted to talk to her,” Hao Ren said.

“Why talk over the phone? Take her out on a date!” Xie Wanjun scolded him on the phone.

“Ugh… Ok. When she comes back, tell her I called,” Hao Ren said in a low voice and ended the call.

He closed his eyes again and tried to continue cultivating, but he couldn’t concentrate. His mind kept summoning the images of Xie Yujia when she was little. He stopped cultivating and looked at the ocean outside of the window, immersed in his childhood memories.

He didn’t have a clear memory of Little Carrot, but the image of her was buried deep in his subconsciousness. At that time, he didn’t understand what love or affection was; he just felt like that girl was annoying, following him everywhere.

But when she was gone, he had missed her for a long time.

Buzz… His cell phone vibrated.

Seeing Xie Yujia’s name on the screen, he answered it immediately.

“Hao Ren, you called me? What did you want to talk to me about?” Xie Yujia’s clear voice came to him over the phone.

“Oh, nothing special. Did you go out for groceries?”

“Yeah. My brother wants to eat Hot Chilli Oil Fish Filets and Chicken fried with Bean Sprouts. I just went out for the ingredients, and I am about to prepare lunch for him,” Xie Yujia said.

Xie Yujia didn’t sound cold; instead, she told him the minor details. It meant that she was no longer angry with him.

Holding the phone in his hand, Hao Ren didn’t know how to continue.

Xie Yujia hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Hao Ren, do you believe the stuff like… Cultivation?”
