Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but everyone was able to hear him.

Hao Ren looked passed everyone and saw a bright-looking guy standing at the entrance. He looked clean, and his smile was kind. He was the type that people would not be suspicious of but also did not look weak.

Xie Yujia, who was tidying up her stuff at the front of the classroom, was a bit shocked when she saw this guy as well.

She had some impression of this guy. A few days ago, she had seen this guy leading his classmates during the campus military training. Ma Lina had said that this guy was very handsome and wanted to pursue him. It made Xie Yujia scold her for liking too many different guys.

She did not expect this guy to be in their program.

“Ay, this is that handsome guy!” Ma Lina, who was by Xie Yujia, touched Xie Yujia.

Hao Ren walked over to the entrance from the back of the classroom.

“Mr. Yue sent me over to get you. I’ll go with you, Senior!” This guy said politely.

“OK…” Hao Ren nodded.

The proportion of dragon cultivators was much higher in this freshmen class compared to before. Many young cultivators had enrolled in East Ocean University, and this guy who had come to get him also gave out a glow only found on dragon cultivators!

White! Metal-elemental dragon!

Although Hao Ren used his inspector’s token to see the latter’s realm, he could not see it clearly! This guy’s glow was sometimes bright and sometimes dim; even the token couldn’t determine his realm!

When Zhao Yanzi saw that Hao Ren was called to the counselor’s office, she felt a bit guilty because she thought it was her fault for coming to his class without permission, and someone reported her to the school.

“Linlin, Lili, I’ll treat you guys to ice cream!” Zhao Yanzi suddenly said.

She had got in trouble once again, so Zhao Yanzi quickly tried to bribe Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

“Sure!” The Lu sisters seemed very happy since their Little Zhumu was going to treat them to ice cream, and there was no reason to decline.

Some guys felt it was a pity as they watched the little beauty, Zhao Yanzi, walked away with the gorgeous Lu sisters. Others felt angry and thought, “How many beautiful girls are by Hao Ren’s side?!”

Hao Ren and the guy didn’t say a word as they walked toward the Administrative Building. The cultivators whom Hao Ren couldn’t identify their realm were probably strong, or they had special dharma treasures.

Hao Ren couldn’t tell whether this guy was connected to Yue Zilong or not.

“Senior. My name is Xu Ke. I’m also from City North First High School,” this first-year student suddenly said as they were passing through the pathway that connected Academic Building D and Academic Building E.

“Oh, how was exam this year?” Hao Ren asked.

Since this guy did not reveal his dragon identity, Hao Ren just chatted about some other topics.

“This year’s exam was pretty good. The high school’s first-tier university enrollment rate is around 70%,” Xu Ke answered.

“Oh…” Hao Ren nodded. It seemed like the quality of teaching at City North First High School had been pretty good. Both City North and LingZhao were top schools at East Ocean City, so their students’ performances at university entrance exams were all great.

“The enrollment rate of your year was also pretty good, right?” Xu Ke asked.

“Our graduating class…” Hao Ren thought for a moment. “The first-tier university enrollment rate was also around 70%, and there were quite a few people who came to East Ocean University.”

“I was in Grade 10 when you took the university entrance exams,” Xu Ke said.

“Oh…” Hao Ren tried to search for memories of Xu Ke but couldn’t find many. He was busy studying in Grade 12 and wasn’t involved in many extracurriculars. Also, there were two grades in between them, so Hao Ren did not know many students in Grade 10.

However, Hao Ren’s memory was pretty good. He vaguely remembered the newbie Xu Ke was first places in races during their school’s Athletic Games when he was in Grade 12, and that made Xu Ke famous in school.

Grade 12 students did not participate in the Athletic Games, so Hao Ren only heard about Xu Ke from the lower-grade students’ discussions at the cafeteria and saw his name on the announcement boards.

It seemed like after the Athletic Games, Xu Ke became an official member of the Track and Fields Team at school, but Hao Ren had to study for the university entrance exams at that time, so he no longer participated in training and had retired from that team.

“Our coach for long-distance races, Coach Qu, often brought you up during conversations,” Xu Ke continued to say.

“What did he say?” Hao Ren asked.

“He said that your skills are excellent. If you didn’t retire from the team in Grade 12, you could have won the provincial championships,” Xu Ke said.

Hao Ren looked at him and smiled. From just this conversation, it sounded like this junior student was expressing his admiration for his senior.

The long-distance race was a specialty of City North First High School. Hao Ren had trained for long-distance races in middle school, so he was quickly recruited into the school’s team after he entered high school.

However, training took up a lot of time and energy. Hao Ren wanted to ensure success in the university entrance exams, so he retired from the team in Grade 12.

Xu Ke’s words made him a little nostalgic, and his high school memories flooded his mind. Suddenly, he felt like he could be closer to this junior if it weren’t for his identity as a dragon cultivator.

“I can’t believe that senior is not only good at running but also great at cultivating,” Xu Ke said in the same tone.

Hao Ren slowed down and looked at him.

“Level 3 inspector, East Ocean’s Commanding General, Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, and you even have a level 2 demon beast. Senior, you are really incredible,” Xu Ke continued to say.

His respectful tone did not change and still seemed very sincere and enthusiastic, but Hao Ren had suddenly increased his guards.

If he had not started cultivating, he would not have known that his junior was a cultivator, a metal-elemental dragon who was very rare and belonged to the most mysterious dragon clan!

Su Han was very strong, and that was probably because she has metal-elemental dragon bloodline in her blood. Although that Qin Shaoyang was not weak, he was nothing in his clan!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t go and become an inspector! He had even been demoted by the Dragon God Shrine and got sent to a desolated place in the northwest!

This Xu Ke was the second pure metal-elemental dragon whom Hao Ren had met.

“Why do you want to get into East Ocean University?” Hao Ren asked him.

“It doesn’t matter where I go. Getting an ordinary human identity means that I would have to cultivate in the mortal world,” Xu Ke said very calmly, “But I got into the Mechatronic Engineering Program at East Ocean University become I want to get closer to you.”

He sounded reasonable and direct, not lying or misinforming at all.

However, Hao Ren sensed his incredible confidence and was a little alarmed.

“To get close to me?” Hao Ren stopped walking. He stood in front of the Administrative Building and looked at Xu Ke.

“Senior, Mr. Yue is still waiting upstairs.” Xu Ke looked at Hao Ren and said.

“What do you mean by getting close to me?” Hao Ren continued to question him.

“It’s my master’s orders. I was, however, already interested in you. In less than a year, you are able to cultivate to Gen-level. With that speed, you seem to be able to cultivate even faster than us, metal-element dragons.” Xu Ke put out his hands and pointed at himself. “I’m 18 years old. I started cultivating since I was one. It’s been 17 years, and my realm has only reached mid-tier Dui-level.”

“Mid-tier Dui-level…” Hao Ren was secretly shocked. If Xu Ke entered the Dragon God Shrine’s general exams, he would be a strong candidate. If he used the right treasures, he would easily become an official inspector.

However, according to Su Han, the proportion of Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators among metal-element dragons was incredibly high, almost at 50%.

They probably had their own cultivating rhythm. That was why their mid-tier Dui-level might be a little different to the normal mid-tier Dui-level.

“However, you have reached mid-tier Gen-level in a year, but your body has shown no signs of destruction. That was why my master ordered me to get into East Ocean University and take the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll from you so that we can thoroughly examine it.” Xu Ke continued to say.

He did not try to hide his intentions at all. Although he sounded sincere, it was due to extremely confidence.

“And.” Xu Ke walked closer to Hao Ren, “The Mystic Water Sword Techniques, the scroll that the Old Dragon King of East Ocean gave you, belongs to us, metal-elemental dragon clan. I have received orders to get it back as well.

Hao Ren stood in the same spot. He saw that Xu Ke was approaching him but did not move an inch.

The Mystic Water Sword Techniques was a top secret, and even the Dragon God Shrine knew nothing about it. In fact, Zhao Kuo didn’t even know much about it. However, Xu Ke somehow knew its existence!

“Didn’t you say that you need to bring me to Mr. Yue?” Hao Ren walked closer to him and asked.

“Oh, right!” Xu Ke stepped into the Administrative Building.

Hao Ren clenched his fist tight and walked into the Administrative Building with Xu Ke.

“Senior, only you and I know about the Mystic Water Sword Techniques. If a third person knows, it will cause a lot of trouble.” Xu Ke slowed down his pace and whispered to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren glanced at him and thought, “The set of Mystic Water Sword Techniques for sure isn’t something simple. It might not actually belong to the metal-elemental dragon clan, but many powers would for sure prey upon it if words got out. Even the Dragon God Shrine might intervene.”

“Just now, Mr. Yue had already talked to me. His main point is that no matter what, he does not permit me to fight with you. After all, Senior, you are an inspector at the Dragon God Shrine. He also does not permit metal-elemental dragon clan to take action on their own,” Xu Ke said as he walked up the stairs.

From his tone, he was still sincere and did not seem to be hiding anything.

“Lu Qing is a core elder of the East Ocean Dragon Palace; Yue Zilong is a Deputy Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine; Su Han is a Qian-level inspector; Sister Xie is the disciple of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator; Zhao Yanzi is East Ocean’s princess. Oh, there’s also the twins, and they seem to be strong…” Xu Ke was counting his fingers while walking up the stairs. He seemed to be talking to himself and determining whether he should go against Hao Ren.

However, from how direct he was, it seemed like he didn’t care whether Hao Ren knew about his plan or not.

“Maybe… this guy’s master is a demon king?” Hao Ren suddenly had such a thought.

“We’re here.” Xu Ke suddenly stopped in front of an office.

It was the counselor’s office of the Mechatronic Engineering Program.

On the door, there was a nameplate.

“Senior, we still have opportunities to see each other.” Xu Ke gave Hao Ren a relaxed smile and walked toward the stairs.
