Chapter 521 - Treasures Everywhere

ll wore ancient palace attire made of 雪仿紗 at school. Even the clothes they are wearing now were bought by Zhao Hongyu.Hao Ren knew that Lu Qing was busy and didn't want to disturb him over trivial mat...Chapter 793: A Perfect Conclusion

"Your relatives, your entire family..." Hao Ren was about to blurt it out but a bad feeling came over him and he quickly shut his mouth.

"Take a look at these...", Su Han's hands searched on Hao Ren's back, pulling out a few items which she put in front of Hao Ren.

Three black grasses shaped like fish bones, a bronze-colored longbow that was half the height of a person, and a pearl glowing with a bluish-green light. "Uh," Hao Ren had no words to say; he had been busy running away and didn't even know there were such items attached to his back.

Now, thinking about it… these should be gifts from the 10th level妖獸

The three black grasses shaped like fish bones are what Su Han picked up but then dropped. The longbow was something Hao Ren liked but didn't dare take. As for this pearl... is this a compensation and apology given by the ten-stage demon beast because it finally realized that Su Han was its companion

Hao Ren suddenly also became puzzled.

"The most valuable thing here is this pearl, so I'll just keep it," Su Han didn't hesitate with Hao Ren and left the pearl in her palm before saying.

This pearl was exceptionally beautiful, more beautiful than any treasure in the secular world. But Su Han took hold of this not because of a woman's nature to love beauty; instead, this green water pearl was an extremely high-quality treasure of the dual Fire and Metal elemental system, better even than the snow crystal coral she was looking for.

If one were to reason by this logic, then the ten-stage demon beast giving Hao Ren this pearl truly was a compensation for hurting Su Han earlier.

"Thank you," Su Han immediately added after.

Originally, she had just wanted to find the snow crystal coral. She never expected that she would get an emerald pearl from legend instead; it didn't matter whether her arm was scratched or not— even if it were hit twice more, she felt it was worth it.

The emerald pearl could not only improve the quality of one's life-bound法寶but also assist in cultivation.

Although Su Han appeared calm on the surface, inside she was extremely happy and almost wanted to hug Hao Ren. In this world, nothing made her happier than advancing in rank.

"Oh, if you like it, just take it!" Hao Ren nodded his head as he said.

Since Su Han liked them, she could take them; Hao Ren didn't mind at all. He was currently worried that Su Han would scold him, not realizing how delighted she was at the moment.

"Alright," Su Han carefully put away the emerald pearl and her admiration for Hao Ren increased無形中.

Su Han's secretly excited expression wasn't inferior to a woman receiving an engagement ring from a man; it was both exciting and trying to remain composed.

In reality, when Hao Ren ventured into the Demon Sea, Su Han was particularly worried. But now that Hao Ren had successfully emerged, she felt he far surpassed her imagined bravery— this emerald pearl was far more significant than an engagement ring.

Hao Ren didn't know that Su Han's heart raced through so many thoughts in a moment; he put away the three fish-bone-like black grasses and picked up the bronze-colored demon bow, examining it carefully.

This material similar to bronze shone under sunlight outside of its aquatic environment. In the middle of the longbow, where one would grip it, was engraved with three ancient characters:破天弓 (Heaven-Shattering Bow).

The name has a strong presence, but I don't know how powerful it is.

"The Sea of Ten Thousand Demons is where demon beasts gather and also the place with the densest spiritual energy. In the past, there were many high-ranking cultivators who tried to seize control over this area by wiping out the demon beasts in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, but all failed. This longbow doesn't seem recent; it should be a relic left behind by a former high-ranking cultivator. While it can’t compare with the ancient barbaric treasures inside the Nine Dragons Palace, its power shouldn’t be weak either."

As Su Han saw Hao Ren examining the longbow, she volunteered and said.

"Let me give it a try," Su Han was in an exceptionally good mood as she took the demon bow from Hao Ren's hand. She circulated her spiritual energy and pulled back the bowstring.

But then, with teeth gritted together tightly, she couldn’t move the bowstring at all. With eyes narrowed, she added more power but still, the demon bow remained completely motionless.

"Let me give it a try..." Seeing Su Han twisting her shoulders and looking both delicate yet determined, Hao Ren couldn't help saying.

"Alright, you can take a go," Su Han's mood instantly turned sour as she handed the demon bow to Hao Ren.

Since even she could not pull it back, she wanted to see how Hao Ren would manage to activate it.

Hao Ren took over the longbow from Su Han and held up the string with his right hand.

The bowstring of this demon bow was made using fine threads similar to copper wires. Despite putting in all his strength, Hao Ren still couldn’t pull back the bowstring.

Reaching Level Geng, Hao Ren’s current physical strength could easily lift several hundred pounds with one hand, yet he found it impossible to draw the string, which showed how sturdy this demon bow was.

"This is a relic left behind by ancient cultivators; it's not something that can be activated so easily," Su Han said. She made this remark partially to save face as well.

"Probably," Hao Ren smiled and suddenly felt some connection, pouring the Five Elements Spiritual Energy into the demon bow.

The spiritual energy of various elements flowed freely within the internal structure of the longbow, giving Hao Ren a sense of controlling it.

Crack... The bowstring produced a faint crisp sound and finally yielded to being pulled back.

The Five Elements Spiritual Energy encompassed wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. All treasures in this world could not escape these five elements. Using the Five Elements Spiritual Energy to control the treasure was always successful.

Su Han widened her eyes, touched her nose with a finger, then said, "You don’t have arrows; how do you test it"

"I do," Hao Ren answered as a sword light shot out from his fingertips and rested on the notch of the longbow.

Su Han’s eyes widened further as she looked at Hao Ren in slight surprise. She hadn’t expected Hao Ren to use his sword light to test the demon bow's power.

This boy was still quite intelligent, Su Han couldn't help but look at Hao Ren with newfound respect once more.

Whizz...

The sword light used the rebounding force of the demonic bow and shot out swiftly.

The howling sword light caused two walls of water to rise from the sea surface, instantly disappearing from Hao Ren and Su Han's sight. Even Hao Ren himself couldn't sense the sword light once it was completely beyond his sensing range!

This kind of power was merely an amplification by the demonic bow!

Seeing this scene, Su Han was speechless. She, a dignified Heavenly Level expert, actually wasn’t even as capable as Hao Ren!

"Impressive!"

Hao Ren had never played with bows and arrows before; in his joy, he made three more sword lights appear in his palms and snapped them onto the demonic bow.

The demonic bow’s back contained six arrow slots. In other words, the demonic bow could shoot a maximum of six arrows.

This time, Hao Ren aimed at a distant stretch of sea.

That stretch of sea had no Eastern Sea soldiers stationed there; it was an empty area.

The three different sword qi carved out distinct trajectories and shot into the sea surface.

Bang...

The originally calm sea suddenly erupted with enormous waves, nearly splashing into the high clouds!

This shocking sound even made Hao Ren feel a pressure in his chest.

Underwater, several Eastern Sea commanders could hardly stand. The military camp they had just set up collapsed instantly.

"General! General!"

A few golden-armored commanders emerged from the sea and forced themselves to bow toward Hao Ren from afar, saying, "Please, General..." They didn’t finish their words, but the meaning was clear enough.

"Alright, I’ll find another place."

Hao Ren said with a smile.

He knew that nearby commanders would be aware of his training. All cultivators entering the Eastern Sea area were discovered; ordinary cultivators rarely had the chance to unleash their full power here.

"Thank you for your consideration, General!"

The golden-armored commanders bowed awkwardly.

Hao Ren’s formidable strength was a blessing for the Eastern Sea, but they, as mere "shrimp and crab soldiers," couldn’t withstand his bombardments—each of them felt dizzy despite being several kilometers away under water.

Hao Ren summoned the River and Mountains Map and swiftly left the Eastern Sea area. The few golden-armored commanders exchanged glances, wiped their sweat off, and returned to their underwater camp.

"Your influence is quite high!"

Su Han said somewhat enviously while standing inside the River and Mountains Map.

"How could that be..."

Hao Ren shook his head helplessly.

Su Han observed Hao Ren's profile and then looked at the distant clouds, her gaze gradually becoming blurry. This Hao Ren whom she had never thought highly of had smoothly advanced to the Middle Rank Geng level and even made tenth-stage妖獸 wary of him...

Furthermore, the妖bow from earlier was something that even Su Han couldn't use, yet Hao Ren could effortlessly unleash its power...

The present-day Hao Ren was no longer the same Hao Ren she had in mind before...

Could it be that he really would become very strong...

A question arose in Su Han's heart that she couldn't confirm.

"Where are we going next"

Hao Ren suddenly turned and asked Su Han.

"Oh...oh..."

Su Han, who was lost in thought, quickly brought her gaze back. A layer of frost appeared on her face as she said, "I need to refine my life-bound treasure again; I'm going to the Dragon God Temple."

"Do you need any help with this"

Hao Ren asked.

"No!"

Su Han immediately answered.

The process of refining a life-bound treasure required complete fusion with the treasure, which meant that during the refinement process...

Although Su Han had never thought there was anything wrong with this process as part of cultivation, when Hao Ren asked about it, she couldn't help but blush.

Hao Ren, who was controlling the Map of Rivers and Mountains, naturally didn't notice Su Han's expression change. He shot out a red light in the sky and took Su Han to the Dragon God Temple.

"Has Xie Yujia already returned"

Su Han suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

"She should be returning soon; school starts next week," Hao Ren replied.

East Sea University had two weeks of exam period at the end of each term, so it was earlier on leave than most universities. However, since students needed to choose their courses for the following semester early, they also started classes earlier than other schools.

"Hmm..." Su Han thought about this and said, "I've changed my mind; I'll wait until Xie Yujia returns before refining my life-bound treasure."

Even though the Dragon God Temple suite was a closed space requiring specific tokens to enter, Su Han still felt uneasy. Knowing that during the process of refining a life-bound treasure there could be no hindrance between her body and the treasure, if someone were to interrupt at this time...

Hao Ren let out a slight sigh, thinking how fickle women's minds can be. However, given Su Han was five or six levels higher than him in cultivation realm, Hao Ren wouldn't dare complain. He quickly controlled the Map of Rivers and Mountains to turn back.

"It's said that ancient treasures could change their size; you might want to give it a try,"

Su Han reminded Hao Ren.

Holding the longbow by his side, Hao Ren tried again to circulate his spirit energy upon hearing this.

The妖bow gradually shrunk until it was only half the size of his thumb, lying flat in Hao Ren's palm like a small bronze trinket.

Can grow big or shrink small...Hao Ren suddenly thought about a legendary heaven-defying treasure...

"What subjects will you be teaching next semester"

Hao Ren thought for a moment and then asked Su Han.h meant that Hao Ren's car would need to be driven to school.Driving towards the dormitories in the south district, he was about to find a spot that wasn’t too conspicuous but not too secluded when he...
